A Spzculation in Real Estate and What Came of It.
By CHARL
ES BONNET, ESQ.,, OF THE PHILADELPHIA BAR.
Nr ammeter
OME years ago an old resi-
dent of Philadelphia died
childless, leaving a small
state which he directed
by his will to be equally di-
vided between Lis widow
and his only sister. The estate con-
sisted of a substantial home in the
city and an acre of ground in the coun-
try, besides some money in bank and a
few well-invested securities. The sis-
ter resided in a distant State, and in
order that her interests might be prop-
erly cared for, she engaged the services
of an attorney at Philadelphia; the
widow in like manner, being ignorant
of such matters, employed me as coun-
sel to see that she also was protected
in her rights under her husband's will.
The personal estate of the testator
was easily divided, but it became nec-
essary to sell the real estate and divide
the proceeds. For the home place we
soon found a purchaser who paid for it
in cash. The lot of ground in the coun-
try was not so easily disposed of. It
was situated in a pleasant part of
West Philadelphia, out on the Darby
not far from the Schuylkill, and
was at that time laid out on the city
maps as a building site between two
streets, but the streets were not much
traveled and the country round about
was thinly and poorly settled. Long
after the money and stocks which the
old gentleman left had been shared De-
tween his widow and sister, and long
after his old home had been sold and
the proceeds of its sale distributed as
he directed, the country lot remained
on our hands. The sister's attorney
and myself advertised it in all the city
papers, as “for sale, cheap, to close an
estate;”’; we mentioned it to real estate
agents, who also advertised it as =
special bargain in suburban property,’
but all to no purpose; it would not sell.
For more than two years this little
acre of land remained to perplex and
prevent us from effecting a final settle-
ment of the estate, when one day it
occurred to me to buy the ground my-
self. I did not want it and had never
seen it, but if I could purchase it at
a price which all the parties interested
might agree upon as fair, the estate
could be settled, and some day the
poor acre which had so long begged a
purchaser might prove a bonanza to my
children.
“Who knows?’ sajd I. ‘Stranger
things have happ d and happen
every day.” I made the proposition
of purchase first to the attorney of
the sister, mentioning the amoun i
which I would pay and all the det:
of settiément. He wrote to his client,
and in due season my offer was-accept-
#d by her. Then I made the same
proposition to the widow, my own
client, advising her before accepting to
make thorough inquiry among her
friends as to the propriety of so doing.
It is a position of extreme delicacy
when an agent or atto

she and her sister-in-law executed to
me a deed of the ground, the money
was divided between them, and their
testator’s estate was thus entirely dis-
posed of to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned.
I did not undertake to inspect my
newly acquired investment until the
following spring, when one beautiful
Sunday afternoon in early May, I
started with my eldest son to see if 1
could find it. We rode together to the
termination of the line of horse cars
and then with rapid strides we paced
the long street on which one end of my
acre presented a frontage, according
to the plat, of about one hundred and
twenty feet. The “street” on which
we walked was sufficiently discernible,
and to the left of us, high up on a
ridge, was the other ‘‘street’” on which
the other end of my acre presented a
like frontage.
Landmarks there were none, and al-
though we perceived signs of civiliza-
tion and modest prosperity all about,
here a house, yonder a country church,
up, on the ridge a cluster of cottages
and over there a schoolhouse, I could
not locate my own particular property
anywhere. We returned home, and a
few days afterward I wrote to a sur-
veyor, giving him an exact description
of the property and requesting him to
survey it for me.
“Plant at each of its four corners,””
I wrote him, “a tall cedar post, so that
when I go out there I can locate the
lot and build a fence around it if I
shall so desire.” Within a week: the
surveyor called at my office to say that
he had surveyed the ground according
to instructions.
“And let me tell you that it is a fine
lot, too; one of the best in all that re-
gion.”
“Is it indeed! You surprise me. I
had supposed it was an inferior prop-
erty, and on a recent occasion I could
not find it. Did you erect the posts as
I requested? The mere survey is of
no use to me unless you put something
round by which I can find its
I had no occasion to do that.”
“Why not?’
“Tor the simple reason that your lot
already has a good fence around it, and
a fine house within the fence, and a big
barn, and a stable and cowshed,
and
“What!” I exclaimed,
him in amazement.
“Qh, ves; and there are people living
in the house, and it is 211 brand new,
and must have cost several thousands
of dollars. You don’t need to put up
interrupting
any posts.”
This was startling information, in-
g ,
deed.
“Is your team at tae door?

#1 willl”
During the long drive into the coun-
try with the surveyor it became ap-
parent to me that somebody had either
taken possession of my property with
the deliberate intention to deprive me
of it, or else had committed the egre-
gious blunder of building on my lot by
mistake for his own. The latter was
more probable unless the surveyor him-
self was at faull .
Again, in a carriage, I passed over
the same avenue which I and my son
“There is your house,” said the sure
veloy, pointing to the rear of the larg-
est and finest of the cottages on the
ridge, “and that is your barn on this
side of it. Your ground extends from
one street to the other, and this street
is the rear because the house fronts on
the other, up on the ridge, which is
higher and better ground.”
Yes, it was perfectly plain. 1 had
seen this identical place a short time
before, but I had not recognized it as
my own, because I did not then know
that I was the owner of a new house
with a tenant in it, and a barn, a sta-
ble and shed, on my despised country
acre; and all these improvements, be-
ing permanent in their nature and af-
fixed to my soil without my consent,
were in law my property.
Arrived at the house, I observed a
pretty front fence newly painted, and
a well-laid brick pavement leading
from the front gate to the front piazza;
in the piazza were hung at intervals
baskets of ferns and flowers, and on
the lawn were numerous flower beds,
in the arrangement of which my tenant
had displayed much taste, and in the
choice of flowers a nice discrimination.
The house itself was a three-story
structure, quite ornamental in style,
and the whole premises were very new,
In answer to the bell appeared a moth-
erly lady who ushered us into the par-
lor, which was well, even luxuriously,
furnished. A soft carpet covered the
floor, handsome pictures adorned the
walls, a piano occupied a cheery cor-
ner, and everything in and about the
place indicated that I had secured a
tenant who would undoubtedly take
good care of the premises and was
abundantly able to pay the rent.
The conversation which ensued was
positively painful. It appeared that
the lady before us was a widow; that
her husband had died in the previous
summer, leaving her a few thousand
dollars, which were all she had: that
she desired to purchase a small place
in the ecauntry where she might end
her days, and she had been recom-
mended to this neighborhood; that
some friend had inquired about the
price of the surrounding property. and
at his suggestion, during the winter,
she had invested a few hundreds of
dollars in a lot on which, as she sup-
posed, she had built all these improve-
ments this spring; that at about the
time of their completion she had
learned in some way that she had built,
not on the property which had
bought, but en the land adjoining; and
that ever since the discovery of her
mistake she had been in the greatest
distress of mind imaginable, because
she feared that the owner of the
ground on which she had built would
take measures to deprive her of the
improvements she had made, and thus
sweep away nearly all that she pos-
sessed in the world. She was not in
the least surprised when I announced
myself as the person she had so much
dreaded to see.
“While the law would undoubtedly
give me all the improvements which
you have affixed to my soil without any
consent on my part,” I began, with
considerable embarrassment, “you
shall continue to own them. My dear
madam, do not think that I would do
you the wrong of appropriating them.”
“Oh, it is terrible, sir,” murmured
the much agitated little widow, with
an evident lump in her pretty throat.
“You are very generous, sir—but—oh;
how will it all end? I can not let you
do it. Either you must let me buy your
ground or you must buy my house and
improvements.”
1 hastened to assure her that I would
do anything in reason.
As the improvements were of much
more value than the ground, and as
she had selected the place for a home
while I had bought merely on specula-
tion, I suggested that she should pur-
chase the ground. During the course
of the conversation she gradually lost
all sense of uneasiuess, as it became
evident to her that I did not intend to
take undue advantage of her error, and
when I finally offered her the ground
she put a purchase price upon it which
I accepted at once. In less than a
week she received a deed from me
conveying the her the entire premises
“with all the improvements thercon”
(so ran the deed) in fee simple; I had
in exchangé more than double the
amount of money which I had paid
for the property less than six months
before: the poor little acre which for
more. than two years I could not sell
to anybody at any price suddenly
found a most eager buyer, at a fancy
price of her own naming; and I was
put to the necessity of planting posts
at the corners of some other real es-
tate.
That is the story. It is true that no
sooner had the conveyance been effect-
ed than I began to wish I had not done
it; that the widow insisted on my
staying to dinner; and that after dinner
she drove me into town behind her
spanking bays. But I can hardly sup-
pose that you will be interestad in
these things.—The Pathfinder.

to the outer garments, which they

wore anything except the Lord Mayor
of London, who sometimes donned a

Sir Harry Johnston, the African ex-

of Liberia's natural resources. Its
great wealth, he said, lies in its for-
ests, which contain most of the West
African timber trees. In india rubber
producing trees, bushes and vines it is
richer than any other part of Africa
except one or two small areas of the
Congo basin.
The interior of the country is in-
clined to be hilly, and from forty to 100
miles inland the ranges of hills reach
altitudes which justify calling them
mountains. The marshy character of
the country, Sir Harry Johnston says,
has been exaggerated. Beyond the
forest region there is a park-like coun-
try. Elephants are abundant in all
parts of Liberian territery. Through
the forest many of the paths are litile
more than elephant tracks.
Very little is known about the min-
eral wealth of the country. Hematite
