Tho dolegatos and visitors mado almost a horo of Air. Ilarrlty, besieging him with their attentions whenover ho nppoared In public. Tho platform ndopted and spooches uttorcd showed no Indications of dospnlr.

The Dreslicr, Yost, Wagner and Dill- man Claims Recalled. POSSESSION DOESN'T STOP RAZING. Men Employed by tho Glrard Estate Fulled Down a House on the Disputed Land Yesterday, But the Claimant Re built It Within Six Hours. There was lightning house building on Locust Mountain yostorday to replace a house that had been torn down by a gang of men in tho oinploy of tho Glrard Estate. Tho sccno of operations was near the place known as tho half-way houso and tho activity was ono of tho results of a dlsputo over titlo to tho land. Tho building torn down was a small possession house two stories high which was formerly occupied by Ernest Hood. Tho men who did the razing had hardly left the placo when another gang of men started work and within six hours tho building was rc-orected and occupied by John Klock and family, who claims to hold possession against tho Glrard Estate. Tho facts of tho caso aro so complicated that it would tako half a dozen Philadelphia lawyers to suite them with satisfactory clear ness, hut it appears that tho dispute had been going ou for about twenty years. It Is stated that about 22 years ago Is. K. Yost, de ceased, father of II. J. and S. W. Yost, of town, Isaac Wagner and Samuel Droshor bought the laud in dispute from one Daniel Zimmerman and a man named Houscr. This laud is claimed to bo parts of tho Gamgus and Ilurku tracts and is located on what Is known as tho fiat, a short distance north of this town. Yost, AVagncr and Drcshcr took immediate possession and built a houso on tho tract, but a fow days after it was destroyed by fire. Tho Girard Estato people then erected a house, and that was destroyed by tire, and then Yost, Wagner and Dresher re-built their houso aud nut ono John Case In possession. A second houso was built, and John Proclous by tho thrco claimants has held continuous possession for about 20 years. Some years after Caso moved out and Ernest Hood becaino possession holder. He re mained there for several years when, it is claimed, tho Girard Estato peoplo succeeded in getting him to sign a document iu which ho set forth that ho was tho tenant of tho Estate. Shortly after tho Girard Estato ofiicials gavo Hood notice to quit, and he was subsequently evicted. It also appears that B. K. Yost years ago sold ono-third of his portion of the estato to one James Dillman, now deceased, and it is the husband of his widow, John Klock, who re-built tho houso witli such rapidity after it was torn down by tho Girard Estato men yesterday. Tho real point at issue appears to hingo on the question of survey and location. Tho Girard Estato peoplo do not deny that Drosher and tho lost, Wagner and Dillman heirs own land on Locust Muuntain, but claim that the land they own is ou tho slid iug scale iu other words is ou that part of the mountain that runs down into the Catawissa Valley. Tho claimants My this is a blutl aud tho land ou the Hut belongs to them; that tho land the (iinird Estato con cedes to them is practically worthless. They also claim that tho case lias been in court soveral timos and each time they hao been victorious, hut there Is something in tlto law that won't allow a definite settlement of tho litigation. Meanwhile the Girard Estate men pull down housos whenever they chanco to get In that neighborhood aud the claim ants rebuild them with commendable alacrity, Hamilton Dlston Dead.
