WHAT MR. HARMON HAS TO SAY Uo Shows That Ihr. Ulram Nichols' Will CoulJ la So Way Affect Their Title to Land at Summit Park aad Lorraine. In Its report of the finding In the register of w.'lls' office of the caveat ai'iir.' C the ftrcbating of the will of the late Dr. Hiram Nichols, of CUrk's Sum mit, and the effect that a contest against the will might have on the title to the property owned by Dr. Nichols, the Ftepublican yesti-rday morning among other thU.es said: "The greater part of the portion of the estate that -was sold wont to wood Harmon & Co., and they have erected It into ImiMinir lots, many of which have been sold. The caveat to strange' ly discovered nuts into question the title of every one of the lota sold by Wood. Harmon & Co. However. It should toe said that the purchasers of these lots have ro rewson to feci alarmed, as Wood, Harmon & Co. ml the courts will iirobably iirotcct them in their rights." E. U Harmon-, manager of the local office of Wood. Harmon Co., spoke ns follows to a Tribune reporter yesterday In discussing the matter: Docs Mot Affect Titles. It Is not true that the flling of the caveat 'nuts into question the title of every one of the lots wKl by Wood, Har mon St Co.' In the first vlace the tract known as Summit Park Annex was rot bought of the Nichols estate lit all. We purchased that from 'Mrs. Louisa Llnday, formerly Mrs. Carr. and the title to thts tract was never fc the Nichols. 'The Summit Park tract of forty-four acres situated on the west side of the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western railroad, the fir property put on the market -by Wood. Harmon & Co., was bought of Asa Nichols and wife. This property was deedej to them by Dr. Hir am Nichols in 1SS5 and was part of hU own estate ur.d not of the separate es tate of Sarah Nichols. So the will of Dr. Nichols will have no bcarla'sr cm the title to this property at all. The title came to Asa Nichols ami wife ty deed and rot by will, and nobody disputes Dr. Nichols right to deed this tract. Vnieh was his own property In his own right. Sold by Order of Court. 'The Lorraine tract was part of the land soM 'by direction of the master, J. Alton Davis and order of court. At the FjJe of this property James Nlc-hols himself made a bid, tout it was too low. Yesterday he received J5.40O. which he nocepted as his share of the proceeds of the sale. At any rate he could not dis pute the title to the lard whatever ho might do In regard to his claim an. the money arising from this sale. "The only tract In question cow, and upon which the finding of this caveat can have any bearing- is a strip of aibout thirty acres t'hat has not been sold and which Is claimed by the four heirs, who hold title to it under Dr. N!choJ!' win. This tract has to connection with the Lorraine tract and Is separated from It by Highland park. Wood, Harmon A Ox's attorney, A. J. Cclborn, said In relation to the story printed In the Republican: "That part of the article relating to thn title of Wood, Harmon A Co. to the Jirvi they have purchased and sold at Clark's Summit la false and untrue li.t every respect. There are o better and safer titles than those Wood, Harmon; & Co. have to the tracts of land they have purchased. Their first piece of land was known as "SummJt Park" and that was conveyed toy Dr. Hiram Nichols to Flora A. Nichols, wife of Asa A. Nich ols, and afterwards conveyed by Flora A. and Asa A. Nichols to Wood, Har mon A Co. The next piece they opened up was purchased from Mrs. Lindsay, formerly wife of Omey Carr, and was called Summit Park Annex. Had No Interest In ths Land. "Now. Hiram D. Nichols, at 1he time Wood, Harmon- A Co. purchased these two tracts, did .not -have any interest whatsoever In either of them, and no trotter how many wills of Hiram Nich ols may be found, none of them could. In any way affect the title of Wood, Harmon A Co. The title to "Lorraine." the new place opened by Wood, Harmon c so is xne Desi ime that any one coukJ ever have. It helorured to the es tate or saran Nichols, deceased, ind upon a partition of her estaite was by order of court conveyed to Mrs. Flora A. Nicholn Mrs. rMary A. Davis and Mrs. Jennie E.

They got him down quickly and car ried him to the house. Dr. Mat hew Ross was sent for: he gave him two hypo dermic Injections, but It was Impossible to get him restored to consclounea. The pulse was beating strongly and the respiration quite regular an hour after he was cut down, although then he had not returned to consciousness.

CAUGHT HERE AXD THERE. In the county commissioners' ofnee are a number of transcripts sent In by Alder man Honr, of the Rlithteenth ward. Which are notable literary productions. Mr. Hoar possesses a terse, idiomatic style that should bring him much fame, if not more, In this "Chlmmey Fadden" aire of liter ature. In one of his transcripts Mr. Hoar thus relates the Indignities the defend ant heaped upor the prosecutor: "Made an assault and battery upon him by knock Ing him down With a club and making a sidewalk of his body." In another tran script It is stated that the defend. made an assault and battery on deponen by throwing rotten eggs at deponent) till Ing his clothes with a most pestiferous odor." In the following statement of the cause of action in the cose of Koon vs, Hwartz, the learned chief justice of the Eighteenth ward is at his best: "He committed on assault anil battery by strlk Ing him on the left optic with his right mauler, and fetching him one with his left on the smeller, causing him to see stars of the most brilliant divers hues, knocking him completely off his pins and causing him to lay limp and senseless un til friends wheeled him home In a wheel barrow. Deponent arrested and after i hearing defendant discharged, It being proved at hearing that defendant was drunk, foil and rolled down an embank mint and injured himself." A large dog, yesterday afternoon, ambled Into Harris & Benjamin's pharmacy on Penn avenue and seeing his reflection In one of the tall show cases, which rest on the floor, got Into a scrap with himself and smashed the large plnte glass Into lnnu mernble fragments. Ills ilogshlp saw that the laugh was on him and beat a hasty re treat looking very sheepish. The cost Is on Messrs. Harris & Benjamin and as the glass measured 6 feet by 4 feet, It proved a very expensive clog fight to them. W. IT. Withers when asked yesterday If he had taken any steps toward prosecut Ing Scheol Controller Jacobs as he had threatened on the previous evening, said he could not move In the case owing to the absence from the city of his attorney, Mr. Patterson, of Patterson ft Wilcox. meant Just what I said," remarked Mr. Withers, "and I Intend to prosecute If my lawyer says I have a rase and I think 1 have.

THE ARREST OF VISKISKIE i Manner la Which He Was Takea Iato Castody ia Baffalo. WAS REARRESTED IN THIS CITY Aotloa Taksa to Avoid Aat Possible Technicalities That Might Be Raised Evidence at the Preliminary Hear ing Before Aldermaa Fuller. Owing to the absence from tihe city of Akletitman Millar, who issued the pa pers In the Vkintekte catte, and to pre vent dvlay or possible Inaccuracy In the committment. District Attorney Jones decided to have him rearrested, and yes. terda? evil the formalities of an arrest and committment were again gone through with. A warrant was Issued by Alderman Fuller, charging Vlsnlskle with murder, and ha was duly served with the process at the county Jull. where he had been pla-d for afe keeping. In the cus tody of three officers he was taken to Alderman Fuller's office and confronted with tite evidence of John Barkowltz, who swore thia.1 Vlsnlskle not only did the Bhot.tlnir. but that he returned to h!s borm? after the light, efcured a re volver and souirht out Ills victim.

What Vbinisklo Says. This Is In total variance with the etory which Vlsniskle gives. He says that the shooting took place during the free tight eaiT.fr in the evening, and that he was attacked with knives before he did the shooting. At the hearing he had nothing ito ay, having betin directed by his attorney, -M. A. MoQlnley, to keep & eloped mouth. Coroiwr Kelley was the only other wit nti3. His testimony waa simply a c:al of the proceedings of the livqueslt The aJdierman committed Vlsnlskte to await trl-al, and about noon he was tak.Mi back to th.? county Jail. Vlsnlskle's apprehension in Buffalo was brought about in a rather singular manner. He was vorltlng on a far:r about elg-hteen miles from Buffalo and was In the Wj'blt of visiting some ac quaint-ances In the -Polish quarter of Buffalo. One day last month a Poland er who knew is-mskie in cran:on, saw him on the street and having heard of the murder sought out a Polish police- rrtin whom he knew and Ir.formtd him of his discovery. The next time that Vlsnhkle m-ade one of his periodical visits to Buffalo, the Polish policeman in titlzens clothes and accompanied by his Informant watched ifor him. He was pointed out to the officer, who ap proached htm, extended his hand, and Mid: "How are you, Vlsnls-ltie?" Thought It Was His Cousin. Visnlskle, as he told afterwards, thought the officer to be his cousin- whom he resembled, and whom he had not seen since he left Poland for liuf- falo many years ago. He became very conlldentlal and did not mis.rust the new found ifrtend un'til he was con. fronted with his own photograph, with "Joseph VlsnUkle, murderer," printed underneath. Two other officers who were con. ce-aled near'by were signaled for and VisnlEkle was. placed under arrest. He went peaceably . along to the station house, and on the way thUther related how he had thought the officer was his cousin and also admitted that he did tho shooting, eaylmg, as reported above, that it was in self-defense.
