lies at th juncture of the two coun

subj.ot of controversy for many years.
Ths claim- of tho two parties largely
deptad up hi the identification of a
river marked on an ancient map, and
the search for proof bearing upon this
point bas led ton thorough rausacking
of th archives and libraries, not only

wtll worth the lrorts of two republics
to Rciinir. Within its 88.080 square
miles is to bo found every diversity
of country, the stretches along the river

valuable grazing and timber land, and
its little explored mountains being

lished iu the morning pap.r that his
marriage to Mrs Elliott F. Shepard
was among the possibilities of the near
future
Wheu shown the story, in his private
office at tbe Grand Central station he
said: "It is ridiculous. 1 have only
teen Mrt. Shepard olicetmc the death
ot her husband
Then to a more aerions tone he added
Mrs Sticpafd's husband died only
last March. Mrs. Depew died in May.
It ia not customarv to consider a
second marriage within a year, at least,
of deaths such as these. It Item lo
me a very cruel thing to ban.' Mrs.
Htb'ptrd's name around like t his.
tt is altogether alumni. People
must at auv rate see each oilier before
anything of the kind could lie coul.m-plrtsd,"

of Juttlc. on Mondsy.
PlTTBBURQ, Pa., Feb 1 The Mans
field rioter will b call-? 1 (or trial on
Monday. Ture will be fitty-eiitht of
them tried togBthsr,and when they ar
arraigued before t lie bar, there will be
scarcely any room for lawyers, wit
uesses aud jurors Tbe number of de
fendants wi.l be larger than iu any
trial that ever ooonrod iu Allegheny
comity, and the district attorney is
figuring in all sorts of plan to gt th
case before the jury in an intelligible
way.
The chief ttOUbl will be in iudenti
fioatiou of the pri-oners, as a large
t umber of lhm will resort to an
alibi as a defense, and th separating
of the innocent from the guilty may
prove bothersome to the jniy.
