Count Kalnoky's project for combined
reprisals against the United States was sum
marily settled by the receipt of information
that Minister Eeid and M. Bibot had ne
gotiated for a reciprocity arrangement be
tween France and the United States. By
some easy concessions on German exports
to this country it is believed Minister
Phelps will be able to secure the opening of
tbe German market to American pork.

Beelis. September 27. The complete
report of Herr Miquel, Prussian Minister of
Finance, will be presented to the Emperor
on Tuesday. Combined information re
ceived from the German Embassy in Paris
tbat M. Bibot, the French Minister of
Foreign Affairs, had negotiated with
Mr. Whitelaw Beid, the American
Minister, for a reciprocity arrangement
between France and the United States has
summarily settled the project of Count
Kalnoky, the Austro-Hungarian Prime
Minister, for combined reprisals against the
United States in retaliation for the McKin
ley tariff bill.
Emperor William never entertained the
idea of reprisals. Chancellor Von Caprivi
appears to have dallied with the project
until the Emperor's return from the
maneuver, when the suggestion of the
semi-official press here and in Vienna for a
customs coalition suddenly ceased.
BEcrrRociir wim germaxy.
Chancellor Von Caprivi had a conference
-with Herr Miquel and accepted his scheme
to lessen the cost of living to the masses by
higher imports on the moneyed classes, the
principle involving the early reopening of
the German market to American pork. The
official impression here is that Minister
Phelps' oertures for a settlement, backed
bv some easy concessions on German ex
ports to the United States, will find a ready
Tesponse irom Cb-incellor Von Caprivi.
Advices irom Vienna indicate that the
Austrian Government also accepts tbe prin
ciple 01 reciprocity, Count Kalnoky having
instructed the Austrian Minister at 'Wash
ington to make representations in the mat
ter or pearl and other Austrian industries
affected by the MeKinley bill, with a view
to the negotiation ot a treaty.
SIILITAKY EEFOEMS.
Herr Miquel's financial statements have
also decisively influenced military reforms,
and led to the retirement 6f General Verdr
Du Veruois from the "War Ministry, and
the prolesed resignation of General Count
Von AVaMersee, both of whom urged
3imperor 'William to adopt Scharnborst's
7Ijn for the reorganization oi the army.
This plan entailed large additions to the
artillery and cavalry, and a consequent
leavv increase in the war bndeet.
General Du Vcrnois, believinc that the
Emperor would as-ent, announced in the
committee of tbe Beicbstag last session the
Scharnhorst schedule as adopted. Herr
Miquel'i calculations proved that the carry
ing out of Srharnhorst's plan and a budget
o 250.009,000 marks would render the
Kaiser's aims in the direction of social
amelioration hopele5s. Despite the popu
larity ot the Scharnhorst scheme in the mil
itary circle, the Chancellor has thrown the
whole weight of his influence against ad
ding to the war budget.
A SILEJTT TEESS.
The Emperor's difinitive approval of the
Miquel ideas made the retirement of Gen
eral' Verdv Du Vcrnois and General Count
Von Walderee inevitable.
The semi-offici.il press maintains silence
in regard to the renewal of the triple al
liarce. A communication published in the
rather Lloyd announced that an agree
ment had tcen obtained. The scope o" the
asreement is in the meantime withheld from
the public The communication adds tha;
the strengthening of the alliance has been
3ullv achieved.
The preparations against Socialist mani
festations on October 1 are equal to the con
tingencies ot civil war. The police have
Tiecn ordered to act on a mobilized system,
and have been reinforced in every populous
center where it is supposed they will be
quired. The troops will be kept in readi
ness in their barracks. The committees oi
the Socialists ridicule the expectation of an
outbreak, knowing the pacific character ot
the arrangements.
SOCIALISTIC PROCEEDINGS.
There will be no public mass demonstra
tion. Deletrates from the Berlin committee
vill aw.ut the arrival at the stations of a
number oi the Socialists who were expelled,
20 of whom have signified their intention of
returning out of the several hundred who
-were expelled. They will be conducted to
a reccution room, where thev will m wpl-
comed and a banquet given to them. A
number of congratulatory speeches will be
made.
Several extremists will be excluded from
the proceedings in order to prevent the
police having any excuse to interfere and to
avoid subsequent prosecution under the
romtnon law. Those taking part in the
celebration will wear medjls that have been
itruek off in commemoration of the expira
tion of the repression law. Great assemblies
will gather here, in Leipsic, Hamhure and
Frank ort, out everywhere they will be
organized to proclude disorder or a breach
of the law.

Lord Roseberry and Count Herbert Bis

journing ior several days. He obtained
from Prince Bismarck a promise that he
would visit Scotland in the spring if the
political situation permitted. In letters to
several members of the Herrenhaus, Bis
inark states his intention to attend all de
bates on questions of national importance.
The Breslauer Zeitung, in the report of
an interview with the ex-Chancellor, made
nni say that ne is still Vice President of
the Staatsrath.holding an immovable posi
tion. Semi-official communications affirm
that the office in question was held by virtue
of his official functions, and that it ceased
on the day his resignation from the Chan
cellery was accepted. The noint debatable
is whether Bismarck's honorary rank
qualifies him fur the Staatsrath.
DECAYED HOBILtrr.
The recent scandals involving members of
the aristocracy are gravely discussed by the
press and are the theme of guarded pulpit
allusions. The Kreuse Zeitung mourns the
decadence of the nobility and warns its
members thattbey must lead a better life if
they do not wish to provoke the masses to
revolution. The Germania, on the other
band, protests against charging the aristoc
racy 'with general corruption, holding that
only those are corrupt whose materialistic
conceptions have destroyed their moral con
sciousness. The Eeiehsbate attributes the
moral decay ot the nobility to much money,
no serious work, no moral discipline, gross
living and depraved company. ,
The Emperor has ordered that an inquiry
be made on the conduct of the military
schools, touching on gambling habits and
secret dissipations of a number ot officers.

TBT CABLE TO THE DISrATCB.1
London, September 27. A shocking
scandal is just now agitating military and
polite society in Berlin. Last Tuesday
morning the news transpired that Major
Von Hermann, a most disguished officer,
commandant of the training school for non
commissioned officers at Potsdam, and a
great favorite of Kaiser "Wilhelm, was
found dead in his quarters. He bad
committed suicide by takingl poison
and then opened veins in bis
arms. It was assumed tbe deed was
due to pecuniary troubles, like several
other suicides which have horrified Berlin
within the past month. The real facts have
since come to light, and prove Von Nor
mann to have been a scoundrel of the vilest
character who long ago ought to have been
removed from the responsible position
which he occupied by the personal favor of
Kaiser Wilhelm.
It is not improbable that had he not taken
his life Von Normann would have provoked
a military mutiny which might have re
sulted in his murder, for he ruled tbe non
commissioned officers under his command
with tyranuical cruelty which had ex
asperated them to a dangerous pitch and
tooc advantage or his power to indulge
habitually in vices, similar to those which
made Cleveland'street infamous. The ex
posure came only a week ago. The officers
immediately held a conference behind
closed doors and finally sent three of the
eldest captains as a deputation to in
form Von Normann that as a German officer
against whom an infamous crime could be
proved it was bis duty to shoot himself.
Vou Normann maoe no attempt to deny
the charges and promised the officers to com
ply with their demands within balf an hour.
The captains waited outside of Von Her
mann's quarters for two hours and then as
suming that the wretched man was too
cowardly to commit suicide retired, after
placing a double sergeant s guard on tbe
place. In the morning tbe eldest captain
went with a guard and warrant of arrest
only to find Von Normann dead. He must
have taken poison and opened a vein while
the captains were waiting outside his door
and was probably dead before they retired in
disgust at his supposed cowardice. Major
Von .Norman was in command of the troops,
which bv command of the present Kaiser,
barred all exits from Friedrichskron, im
mediately Kaiser Friedrich ceased to
breathe. His death and the shameful cir
cumstances connected with it will be heard
of without simulated sympathy by a num
ber of peoplet including that remarkably
good hater, Sir Morrell Mackenzie.

London, September 27. The shipping
federation opens to-day, and at all the ports
there is a register of tbe laborers. All the
men will he required to sign as unionists
or non-unionists, and will also add
whether they arc willing to work in

scheme will resolve itself thus. In case the
master of a ship finds he has any tronble
among his crew, by reason of the fact
tbat unionists object to working with men
who do not belong to the union, he can in
the future go to the local officer of tbe Ship
Owners' Federation and complete his crew
from tbe register he will find in the charge
of that official.
This will have an immediate effect on the
labor world, as it is a direc; attack on the
union, and John Burns in consequence will
find he has his hands fnll to meet the move

An application for an injunction against
C. J. D. Strobeckerand others, doing busi
ness as the Enterprise' Oil Company, and
Francis S. Wilson, was made before Judge
Wickham, of Beaver county, yesterday
afternoon by the Union Water Company, of
Bearer Falls, through its president, Henry
W. Hartman, A preliminary announce
ment of the suit was published in This
Dispatch yesterday.
The affidavits of Merritt Greene, General
Manager of the Union Water Company, B.
S. Kennedy, a manufacturer of New
Brighton and President of . the New
Briehton Water Company; Alsam Bentley,
of the firm ot Bentley & Gerrig, New
Brighton; John -W. Eemscy, Superinten

American Steam Laundry Works, Beaver
Falls; William E. Keeler, master mechanic
of tbe hrm ot Jtl. JU. Myers as uo., snovei
manufacturers, of Beaver Falls; the Mayer
Pottery Company, of the same place, and
Otto Wuth, a chemist of Pittsbunr, as to
the saline nature of the water flowing into
the Beaver creek irom the Connoquenessing,
into which the salt water of the defendant's
wells is drained. Its injurious effects upon
boilers, pipes, etc., and its chemical con
stituents were presented.
Dr. W. H. Grim, of Beaver Falls, testi
fied that the water recently taken by him
from a hydrant was almost as saline as that
of the ocean, and poisonous in its effects.
He said also, that water from old wells, not
in use, when drank, causedjfevers. No op
position to the granting of the injunction
was made this afternoon. The onlv parties
concerned in the matter, present, were Mr.
Hartman, Dr. Grim and J. M. Buchanan,
the attorney for tbe Water Company.
Judge Wickham expressed the opinion that
criminal proceedings could properly be
brought against the persons complained of,
and appointed Monday at 9 A. M. as the
time for argument upon the injunction. It
is believed in the Beaver Valley that the in
junction will be granted. Mr. Buchan, in
speaking af the case, said that if no perma
nent injunction is obtained, suits will be
brought against about 100 persons, operat
ing abont 50 mills, in this and Butler
counties, and that as a last resort the case
will be taken to the Supreme Court.
A prominent oil operator, in speaking of
the intended action of the water company
some days ago, said tbe water company will
have the Standard Oil Company, the Hun
dred Foot Oil Company and many similar
powerful organisations to fight, and ex
pressed the belief that nothing could be
done to prevent the present influx of salt
water for this reason and because the
streams named are natural waterways, and
it is imperative that the salt water should
have some outlet

THE ACCURACY OF THE ENUMERATION
A Contingency Onitr WMeh s JUwunt Hy is Ordered
is Hew York
Robert Porter unexpectedly sailed for
Europe yesterday, on the advice of bis
physician. His annual report, however, is
in the hands of Secretary Noble. He thinks
the present census the most complete and
accurate ever taken.
rSFSCUt. TXLSGEAM TO TUB DISPATCH.!
New York, September 27. Eobert P.
Porter, the Superintendent of the Census,
sailed on the fimbria this afternoon for
Liverpool. Only a few of bis intimate
friends knew of his presence in this city or
of his intended departure. He did not
register at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where
he stopped last night, and be remained' in
his room until it was time to leave
to catch the steamer. Mr. Porter was
looking pretty well used op. He has been
ill for a conple of weeks and is taking a sea
voyage upon the advice of his physician.
"I am not trying to run away from the
census," he said. "My physician in Wash
ington said the only ronte back to the
census office for me was by the way ot a
sea voyage, and I am following his instruc
tion. I hope to return in three weeks fully
restored to health.
ANNUAL BEPOBT COMPLETED.
Asked about the census, Mr. Porter said:
"I have not read a newspaper for three
weeks, and everything except a few impera
tive matters has been kept from me. For
tunately my annual report was nearly fin
ished before I was taken ill, and I was able
to send it to the Secretary of the Interior
yesterday. He will probably make it pub
lic within a few days.
"My report shows that the work of the
Census Office is in excellent shape, and is
further advanced than any preceding cen
sus for many years at this time. Two or
three volumes are all ready to be sent to
the Public Printer, and will be in shape for
distribution within a few weeks. They are
in the line of special work, such as mines
and mining, wealth, debt and taxation, etc.
It is unprecedented in the history of the
Census Office to have any of the volumes
prepared as early as this."
SETTLING THE ACCOUNTS.
"The Census Office at present is engaged
in the effort ,to get the accounts of the
enumerators settled. It is a tremendous
job. We have 1,700 clerks at work on it.
It is important to have these accounts dis
posed of as speedily as possible, for until
they are paid each set of returns must be
kept separate and intact and we cannot
make up our classification.
"If the human race were all engaged in
one line of business the classification would
be a very simple matter, but as it is, we are
compelled to make many separate schedules.
There are 20,000,000 sheets of the enumera
tors to be gone over and checked. Much
delay has been caused by stupidity or care
lessness on the part of tbe enumerators in
preparing their reports. Had each report
been made out correctly probably all of the
enumerators would have received their nav .
before this. We have checked up and paid
40.000 of these accounts and I tbink they
will all be disposed of before the 1st of
November."
AN ANSWEE TO CEITICS.
"The total population of the United
States, as shown by the eleventh census, is a
trifle over 64,000,000. I am aware tbat this
does not meet the expectations of some peo
ple, and they have seen fit to criticise the
Census Office in consequence. Now, as a
matter of fact, 64,000,000 is little in excess
of the estimates of the population made in
advance bycareful statisticians. The late
Congressman Cox, when he introduced bis
bill making an appropriation for
the takine of the eleventh census,
said that after a careful study of
the qnestion he thought the population
ot tbe county in 1690 would be between 62,
000,000 and 64,000,000. At the rate of 10
cents per head he nsked for an appropria
tion of 56.400,000 to be on the safe side.
That the actual count of the inhabitants of
the United States exceeds the highest esti
mates made in advance, is pretty strong
proof tbat it is very nearly rinbt. As a
rule patriotic citizens do not underestimate
the popolution of their country.
THE INCBEASE IN "WEALTH.
"The wealth of the country has increased
$60,000,000,000, as against $40,000,000,000
ten years ago.
"Now as to the general criticisms that
have been passed upon the Census Office,"
Mr. Porter resumed. "I do not tbink, on
the whole, tbat they have been justified by
the facts. No census probably will ever es
cape criticism. It is so easy to find fault,
and human nature seems to be constructed
that way. Of course, such a gigantic work
as the compilation of the census ot our great
country can hardly be expected to be alto
gether free from flaws.
"But I insist thut the eleventh census of
the United States will compare favorably
with any previous census ot our country.
As a matter of fact, we have learned by re
ferring to the records of the censns, that
there were more complaints sent in against
the tenth census than have been made
against the present one. There were 64 ap
plications for a recount by different cities
ten years ago. That is a little more than
we have received this year.
THE EIVAL WESTEBN CITIES.
"Ten years ago there was almost the same
tronble with St. Paul and Minneapolis.
St, Louis demanded a recount, and Phila
delphia was especially vociferous for it.
Indignation meetings were held in South
Carolina and other places South, protesting
against the census and deniandingarecount.
Bnt when all these cases came to be investi
gated it was found that there was a great
deal more smoke than fire in the complaints.
Probably an examination of the records
would reveal a similar state of affairs at
every national censns since the fonndation
of the country."
"Less than 64 applications for a recount
have been made this year, and only four
have been granted. St. Paul and Minne
apolis are exceptions. I ordered tbe recount
there myself, as I was satisfied, from an ex
amination of the returns, that frauds bad
been committed, and the recount proved
such to be tbe case. Helena, Mont, and
Portland, Ore., were given a recount, as it
became apparent that the enumerators
selected for the work in both places were
utterly incompetent Two small towns
under 10,000 inhabitants have been given a
rennmeration for similar reasons, but that
is all."
1HE SOUTH SATISFIED.
"An interesting point in this connection,
and one, I think, which proves the absolute
non-partisan character of tbe eleventh cen
sus, is that almost no complaints at allliave
been received from the South, only
a lew of minor character. Nashville,
I believe, was dissatisfied with our
count and took a police census of
her own, which resulted in showing 3,000
less than. the Census office figures. If the
Census office were engaged inmaking a
partisan census, tbe Democratic States of
the South would be the first tolearn of the
fact, and they would not hesitate to inform
the country of it Oar worki has been as
strictly non-partisan as It was possible to
make it"
Mr. Porter defended the cenms office fiz
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER-
ures for this city, but he said if the police
census, which Mayor Grant has ordered,
showed that any material blunders bad been
made by the Government enumerators, New
York should have a recount He thought
that anyway there were 0,000 more people
here In'the fall than in June.
OOVEENOE HILL'S LETTEE.
Mr. Porter was asked if he had seen Gov
ernor Hill's letter declining to furnish him
with certain information requested by the
censns omco on tne ground that mere was
no warrant in the law pending for the
eleventh census to authorize him to do so.
"I have not seen it," Mr. Porter replied.
"My wife said something about it yesterday.
I assume that the questions sent to Governor
Hill were the same that were mailed
to all the Governors of the different States.
They were sent out for the purpose of com
piling a volume on Jhe division of wealth,
debt and taxation of the country. Volume
7 of the last census contains this informa
tion up to that time. I am sorry Governor
Hill refused to comply with my request and
had I thought for a moment that he would
dp so, I should not have troubled him. The
questions were sent to the Governers of all
the States as a. matter of conrtesv. Thn
) census officials, I believe, have collected
mis imorniauon ior tne last
SIXTY YEAES OE MOEE
and the custom has been to send to the
Governors of the States for it, so that it
could be stamped with the official authority
of each State. Governor Hill is the only
Governor who has refused to comply with
our rea nest. I believe we can get the in
formation elsewhere, so the volume will be
compiled just the same. In this connec
tion I will sav that there are 150,000
minor civil divisions in the United
States with debt creating and tax
collecting powers. We have no more power
over them than a private citizen, and not
one is obliged to answer any questions we
put to them but they have all done so
cheerfully. Their courtesy has enabled the
Government to collect a lot of valuable in
formation gratis that would otherwise cost
thousands of dollars."

HIS BLOODYWOUNDS.
Medical Men Testify in Regard to
'Benwell's Bruises at tbe
GREAT BIRC0ALL MDRDER TRIAL.
Further Hyidence Given by Witnesses Who
Knew the Prisoner.
TflE CASE GOES TO THE J0BI ON JIONDAl.
Desjoadeuey ef ti Little Wift Wassi Hailsnd is o
Trial for Els Life.
Seveial doctors testified at the Birchall
trial yesterday, one stating that the wounds
were inflicted on Benwell, the mnrdered
man, two days before his death, while other
medical witnesses said that it was difficult
to to tell the time when the bruises were in
flicted. Woodstock, Oht., September 27,
Medical testimony was given attheBirchal1
trial to-day, Dr. Mearns stating tbat be be
lieved tbe wounds were inflicted on Benwell
two days before his death. Mr. Blackstock
said if there was evidence presented ot a
blnish-green tinge it would be almost abso
lute proof that the wound had been inflisted
at some time not less than 24 hours before
death.
Dr. Richardson, when cross-examined by
Mr. Osier, said it was difficult to tell npon
the examination of a bruise on a dead body
whether that bruise was inflicted before or
after death. The time within either side of
death of the infliction of a bruise would be
difficult to determine in several bonrs.
The Judge Doctor, suppose this man
fell forward on bis death, what would be
tbe color within 24 hours of its infliction of
a bruise received in;falliug.
a question of color.
Doctor The color would be dark pur
plish. Judge One of the medical men said it
was a bronze color.
The doctor said in tbat case a longer time
would be indicated to him since the inflic
tion of the bruise.
P. Norman McQueen, son of the late
Judge McQueen, testified that he knew
Birchall in Woodstock, and saw him in
that town on February 17 last On cross
examination bv Mr. Osier witness said he
had known Birchall well, but that they
then met for the first time after tbe long
period of Birchall's absence. He had
merely nodded in passing. He mentioned
having seen Birchall the same afternoon.
He had not liked Birchall, however, because
on one occasion the prisoner made a remark
that displeased him.
This, Mr. Blackstock said, concluded the
case for the prisoner, with the exception of
one or two witnesses, who wonld take but a
few minutes each. He said he would be
ready on Monday to prodnce the register of
the hotel in Brantford on which the name
of B. F. Benwell was registered on June 13
last and evidence as to the delivery of a tel
egram. Judge McMahon slid that tbe case
mnst go to the jury on Monday evening.
biechall's tvife despondent.
When Birchall returned to jail last night
he ate a hearty supper and freely discussed
the evidence with his attendants. He was
not as lively as usual, but he seemed to
think some very strong points were brought
in his defense. He passed a very eood
night, retiring about 9:30, but not falling
asleep until some time after 10. Though,
to all external appearances he seems cool
and collected, nevertheless he is nervous
and excited.
Mrs. Birchall had an interview with the
prisoner to-night The faithful little wife
is very despondent as to the resnlt. The
cost ot the prosecution of Birchall will be
in the neighborhood of $10,000.
GEOWTH OF THE PAPEE TEADE.
Abont 300 Kew 9IIIU Bnllt In the Country
Last Tear.
E. O. Godfrey, of Godfrey & Clarke,
paper manufacturers, went East yesterday.
Mr. Godfrey claims that the paper combi
nation has cheapened prices. The profits
are less than formerly, but tbe volume
of business is larger, and makes up
the difference. Tbe little fellows in
the business are the ones that suffer the
most. Mnch of the paper made in America
is produced from wood pulp, and not much
dependence is placed on the jute supply.
There are about 1,300 paper mills in the
country, and Mr. Godfrey says that'300
were built last year. About 13,000,000
pounds of pulp and paper are made in
America every day, and of this amount
1,250,000 pounds is Pennsylvania's share of
the output

Cannot Injure Anyone.
APPEAL FROM JODGB EWISG'S DECISION
Tin Original Chugts of Fnnauleat CoQuIoa t to
Used Again.
Judge Ewing's decision approving the
sale of the old Poor Farm to JI. T. Balrd
has been appealed from and 'carried to the
Supreme Court. Mayor Gonrley says he
will not sign the deed transferring'thVprojv.l
erty until after a final decision has Dean
reached.
The sale of the old Poor Farm Is not yet
a settled fact. W. W. Thompson, Esq.,
yesterday took an appeal from Judge Eir
ing's decision in the snit of Straub against
the city ot Pittsburg to prevent the sale of
tne old Poor Farm to 31. T. Baird and the
purchase of the Stewart farm for the new
location. Judge Ewlng held that tbe sale'
was legal, bnt decided against the purchase.
Mr. Stewart has had enough, and is willing
to let the matter rest so far he is concerned,
more especially as he has an offer for hi
farm which will net him more money than
the city proposed to pay. Air. Straub,
however, is not satisfied with Judge Ew
iag's confirmation of the sale, and has carried
the matter up to the Supreme Court.
Attorney Thompson said yesterday that
the appeal reopened tbe case, and the Su
preme Court would have an opportunity to
review the whole matter. The action taken
is surely preliminary, and Mr. Thompson
has not yet prepared bis statement, which is
expected to allege errors in the Judge's de
cision as well as the original charge of col
lusion between Mr. Baird and Carnegie
Bros. & Co.
CAIT SIOJT THE DEED.
W. H. House, Esq., of the City Attorney's'
office, was asked what effect the appeal
would have upon the completion of the
safe of the farm by the ciiy. He said: "It
does not necessarily have any tnect. If the
Mayor sees fit he can sign the deed and tbe
property will he transferred upon receipt of
the purchase money in accordance with tbe
agreement.' If the Supreme Court should
afterward decide tbat the sale is illegal, the
city would reluse the money, and tbe pur
chasers would have give up the property
and returned te deed, which would then be
cancelled."
The deed for the transfer of the property
to Carnegie Bros, has been prepared lor sev
eral days, but owing to Mayor Gourley's
sickness and consequent absence from his
office, nothing further could be done.
His Honor was seen at bis residence last"
evening, and was asked whether he would
sign tbe deed now or await the final decision
ot tbe Supreme Court. He replied: "While ,
I have no leeling whatever about the sale, '
aud believe that Judge Ewing will be sus
tained by the higher court, I believe it
would be
WISEE TO WAIT
until the matter Is settled forever by the So-'
preme Court. I do not think such a delay
will work any injury to the purchasers, and
if the Supreme Court's decision should be
adverse, it would save the city some expense
and trouble. As I understand it, if the
city made tbe deed, and the S3j?
was declared illegal, it wonld be
necessary to ester a snit of ejectment
against the purchasers of the property to
recover possession. The Supreme Court
convenes here on the first Monday in Oc
tober, and will reach the Allegheny county
cases abont tbe first week in November.
The delay can hardly exceed six or seven
weeks, and as this is hardly the time of
year that contemplated improvements are
commenced I do not see wby there is any
need for haste. No, I do not think I shall
sign the deed until after the Supreme Conrt
has pissed npon the sale." '
