A REAL ESTATE NOVELTY.
An Easy and Speedy Method for Look
ing- up Titles.
New York, July 9.—One of the sig
nificant signs of the times in the business
world is the bill just signed by the Governor
of this State providing for a more scientific
method f<jr the registration and indexing of
land in this city. One of the great difficul
ties in real estate transactions is the time
and expense involved in the transfer of
property, and at this tune, when the market
for real estate is so active, not merely here
but in many other parts of the country, any
desirable innovation on antique and cum
bersome methods of transfer is worthy of
notice. Usually the searching of a title is
made for fifty years back to see if the trans
fers have been properly made, but when a
large amount of property is involved, this
takes considerable time and often entails
large expense with great risk of error. At
present the transfers are indexed with the
names of parties to the transaction. It is
notorious that the most experienced law
yers often make grave mistakes in the
searching of titles. None know this better
than the real estate brokers, and it is sin
gular that the errors arc not more frequent
In old communities, where the registration
is about as cumbersome as the Chinese lan
guage. Blunders ore often made, more
over. by clerks in transcribing names and
in designating localities. The name Meat’s
for example may be copied as Man, not to
mention other names which in obscure chi
rography may seem to be entirely
different from tho fact, and which care
less clerks may set down according to the
impression derived from a hasty glance.
Or the location may be described as 150
feet east instead of west of a certain street
or north or south, as the case may lie. These
mistakes may not be discovered for years,
and then the correction of them often in
volves considerable trouble and expense.
Very heavy lees are demanded by tho best
lawyers for searching titles. One firm has
an income of $lOO,OOO a year from this
work alone, and yet, as already stated, some
of the best lawyers make blunders. They
may turn over two pages at once, or fail to
discover clerical errors. The search always
takes considerable time. The new law in
troduces the block system, by which the
property on each city block is indexed in a
volume by itself, and all the transfers have
especial relation to location rather than to
names, a fact which will greatly facilitate
the searching of titles. Thus on block
No. 50, for example,% transfer is made by
John Thompson. By the old method ail the
Thompson entries would have to be examined
which considering how many pei-sons bear
that name would be a long and tedious task
and the same would lie true of such names
as Smith, Jones. Brown and others of differ
ent nationalities. A thorough lawyer, more
over, would not content himself with tho
index, hut would go through the entire vol
ume. In an old city like New York the
labor involved in such a search is laborious
and tedious in the extreme. By tho old sys
tem a search would take at least two weeks
and sometimes much longer. By the
now block system it can be done in half an
There is a change in the conduct of real
estate transactions, which has come un
heralded, but which means a practical revo
lution in this department of business in
great cities. In small towns and thinly
sUtliyl sections a search is usually compara
tively easy, but to an old community like
New York it is like pulling tho Old Man of
the Sea from the back ot Sinbad. Our old
laws with reference to the transfer of real
estate are founded for the most part on those
of England where possession was generally
supposed to be |ieriioiml, but even in Eng
land in recent years attempts have been
made to devise some system of transfer
whereby real estate might be made easily
negotiable. In reference to the compli
cated methods of English convoyendng
the Duke of Marlborough said: In every
country tlie theory of the land laws lias de
pended on the fact that land was never in
tended to be dealt with by free commerce
and barter, and its sale and exchange have
at all times been surrounded by legal diffi
culties of every description. I will ask any
roan of business where Ins trade would go
to if his business was hampered mid him
dri ed by this mode of treatment. The sim
ple cure is to sweep away at one blow the
entire machinery of deeds, and substitute in
matters of sale a simple mode °N eristi a

complete substitute.” This shows that the
world moves, aud that the ancient and bar
barous ideas respecting real estate which
have so long obtained are destined to
give way to more enlightened opin
ions on a subject of so much im
portance. Many a man in financial
difficulties might save himself were real
estate more readily negotiable. It mas - be
explained, finally,' that a city block index
is nothing but a county index reduced in
size, aud a change from the county to the
block involves no change in the general law
of recording in the State. Both the county
and the city block possesses the same es
sential conditions of a local index in having
arrears whieh are permanent in form,
which are established by law and which are
matters of public record. The new law
which insures the easy transfer of laud in
this city ought to materially increase the
transactions in such property. In most
sections lawyers have altogether too big a
finger in the pie. Cheap and easy land
transfer is the motto of real estate men
here. Oscar Willoughby Riggs.
DRESS OF WOMEN WRITERS.
Neat Costumes Rather than Slovenly
Gowns Their Customary Raiment.
FYoia the Toronto Globe.
There seems to be a prevalent opinion
that literary women are, like the illustrious
Mrs. Jellyby, slovenly in their dress as
well as negligent in their housekeeping.
Both these charges remain to be proved,
however, and the examination of the first
will be quite enough for onee.
Jane Austin and her sister were remark
ably neat in their dress, but rather unheed
ful of the fashionable and becoming. It is
said that they took to tho costume of
middle life before their books of years
required it. Joanna Baillie was fond of
dress, and dressed exquisitely. With a
delicate, graceful figure, not large-boned,
like many English women, she wore her
own gray hair and pretty brown silk gowns
anil bonnets—just right for an old lady.
Mary Lamb, the devoted sister of the
delightful Charles, was neat and plain in
her dress, but she did not change much
with the fashions. However, she affected
no indifference to this delightful subject;
she wrote to a friend, “I do dearly love
worked muslin,” and she took great delight
in eurtaiu silks sent her by a friend in
China. Her usual dress was of black stuff’
or silk, and for groat occasions there was u
“dove-colored silk, with a kerchief of snow
white muslin folded across her bosom,” and
a cap then in fashion with deep-frilled
border and a bow on top. With all her
daintiness, she often dipped her delicate
white hand into her tortoise-shell snuff-box.
When Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
came to court, the Prince of Wales (George
II.) called out in a rapture to the Princess to
look how becomingly she was dressed.
"Lady Mary always dresses well,” said the
Princess, drvly. But in spite of this
general statement, Lady Mary seems to
Gave indulged in some eccentricities. At
onetime she wore a “full-bottomed wig;”
on returning from Turkey she sometimes
let her fine dark hair flow loosely, and
was fond of dressing in the Turkish costume.
Walpole says that her dress, on her arrival
in London, after her life abroad, was a
galimatias of several countries. She wore
an old black-laced hood, fur about her
neck, a dimity petticoat, and slippers. When
Charlotte Bronte went to London, about the
time “Shirley” was published, she is
described as ”a young-looking lady, almost
childlike in stature, in a deep mourning
dress neat as a Quaker’s.” Indeed, neatness
was a characteristic of her dress, and the
coverings of her hands and.fCet were
always extremely dainty. She loved
modest apparel, and thought a pink-lined
bonnet too gay for her, while she did not
buy “beautiful silks of pale sweet colors,”
at 5 shillings, as she “had not the spirit nor
the means,” but chose a black silk at .’!
shillings a yard. Emily Bronte wasdressed
while at school in Brussels in ill-cut, lank
skirts and leg o’ mutton sleeves, which she
liked and wore whether in or out of fashion.
HarriePMartinoau is described as plainly
dressed.
Of George Eliot’s clothes we know little,
save that her gowns were plain, and that
over her abundant hair, still untouched by
gray, she wore a cap of lace or muslin with
lappets of rich point or Valenciennes fastened
under her chin. When George Sand was
yet a young girl she wore a boy’s blouse
and gaiters for a ramble over her rough
country, and later, in Paris, she continued
to go about like a collegian of 16, in all
weathers, places and times. Margaret
Fuller delighted in elegant and well-chosen
clothes, but she did not give her
time to fashionable frivolities. Lydia Maria
Child dressed all her life in a plain, cheap
fashion. Lucretia Mott wore the Quaker’s
subdued gown, white kerchief and little
cap. Maria Mitchell, although not a Friend,
dresses simply in black or gray, with a
white muslin kerchief about her neck, a
black lace cap over her gray curls, and
often a white shawl thrown over her
shoulders. Rose Terry Cooke dresses hand
somely. Ella Wheeler Wilcox is said to
wear a Directoirette dress with short sleeves
and a low neck while composing her
passionate poetry. Mi3S Mary L. Booth, of
Harper's Bazar, dresses plainly while
about her work, but with much richness
and taste at other times; she wears many
beautiful rings, and has the woman’s weak
ness for rare old lace and cashmere shawls
that can be drawn through a ring. Frances
Hodgson Burnett is fond of dress, and
likes to work in dainty lace, to put bows on
dresses and hats, so that she does many of
these things for herself.
DARK KNIGHTS.
The Story of the Troubles in Green
ville, Laurens and Pickens.
A Charleston special says: Exaggerated
stories on the probability of war between
the races at Fairview, in Greenville coutoty,
have been telegraphed all over the country.
The matter has b<>en fully investigated and
it has licen discovered that the excitement
existed in a single neighborhood, and chiefly
among nervous women and young men
eager for a sensation. In May last the col
ored labor organize! - ® in the Hoover Co-op
erative Workers started several small clubs in
Fairview. The meetings were held at a late
hour of the night and with profound se
crecy. The white people heard of those
meetings and became uneasy.
Their inquiries were battled, and the sur
mises became reports of facts said to have
taken place, and the agitation grew. The
people of Fairview are Scotch and Irish.
When their young men grew restless the
women became uneasy at night and tie-re
were symptoms of demoralization among
the farm lalHirers, thoy proceeded to cut at
the root of the trouble. They met at Fair
view church, organized and sent a squad of
mounted men to the secretary of the near
est Hoover club. He was round and re
quired to surrender a list of his members,
and a guard was sent to each of the seven
teen men in the club. Each member came
promptly.
Then an informal court was organized
and the Hoover Society was put on trial, the
evidence of its members put in writing.
The negroes were examined separately, and
they coincided in the statement that they
had been induced to join by the promise of
the organizer that after July rations would
lie issued to members at naif tho present
prices, Some of them had notions some
time in the future of a strike for $1 a day
for farm laborers, but they bad no definite
time or place in view. One denied solemnly
that there was a word or thought against
the landlords or white people.
Most of them had been told that if they
revealed anything about tho society its
benevolent plans would be destroyed, mid
they would be arrested by the United .States
government.. The folly of the whole busi
ness was punted out to them, and they
were told that the white peoplo would let no
such organizations exist secretly. Then
they were sent home, mid they deiiartcd
well pleased to lie out of trouble. The same
form was also refloated at Hopewell church,
three miles from Fountain Inn. twenty-one
Hooverites being arrested, questioned with
similar results, warned and released. At mut
100 armed white men were present, but no
harsh words were used, and there was no
excitement. Tho Sheriff and a Trial Jus
tice were present.
ANSWERED WITH HIS CANE.
A Texas Sheriff’s Reply to a Challenge
to Fight a Duel.
An El Paso, Tex., dispatch to ,tho New
York World sayf: A sensation was caused
here last evening by Sheriff James H.
White, of this city, publicly caning E. li.
Fox, a prominent stone mason and con
tractor. The caning was the Sheriff’s re
ply to a challenge which Fox sent him yes
terday to fight a duel in Mexico
The trouble between Sheriff White and
Fox dates back about two weeks. Fox is
an inveterate litigant, and is seldom with
out one to half a dozen cases in court. Tho
Sheriff svas highly indignant at Fox for
having, as he charged, used him in an at
tempt to defraud some miners in a suit at
law. Last Tuesday evening Sheriff White
and Fox chanced to meet. Fox undertook
to pour out a tale of grievances. White’s
temper blazed up, and turning on Fox, he
thundered:
“You lie! you know you lie, the public
knows it and I can prove it.”
Yesterday afternoon Sheriff White re
ceived an insulting letter from Fox, winding
up with a challenge to meet him across the
Rio Grande and at ten paces prove who was
the cowurd and liar. Fox udded that secrecy
would bo necessary, and appointed a place
of meeting to settle details. The Sheriff in
tended to ignore tho challenge, but while
walking down the principal street last even
ing, at 8 o’clock, he happened to meet Fox,
who came up to him, evidently to arrange
for the affair of honor. White promptly
told Fox what he thought of him and wound
up by slapping him in the face and breaking
a small cano over his head. Fox struck
White once with his fist, and the two men
then walked away from each other.
“It is an unpleasant, yes, a dangerous
matter,” Fox said afterward, “aud the less
said about it the better.”
“I did’nt w-ish to make Fox pay the severe
legal penalty for his crime in sending the
challenge,” said Sheriff White, “tho penalty
for which in this State is from two to five
years In the penitentiary; so I gave him a
caning with a light stick, just to show my
contempt for him and his challenge. I have
had a good many shooting affrays with des
perate men. but I never had but one fisticuff
before, and that was when I was about
fifteen years old. What made me particu
larly indignant in this case of Fox’s was the
fact that he used me in my official capacity
to promote his own dishonest ends. If his
.actions had affected mo simply personally
or socially I would have let it go.”
Fox is hot-tempered, and it is feared that
more trouble will follow. Sheriff White is
a man of medium size, but he is one of the
bravest men in the West. Ordinarily he is
one of the mildest-mannered men to be
found, though but few men care to provoke
his wrath.
A MIXED PICKLE.
Husband and Wife Both Commit Big
amy—A Regular Matrimonial Chow-
Chow.
From the New York Herald.
When John Livesey died at. his home in
Hoboken last October he left his entire prop
erty, valued at $30,000, to his son John, his
only child and sole heir. The son also suc
ceeded his father {is proprietor of a large
printing establishment on Centre street,
New York.
No difficulty was anticipated in settling
the estate, but to the astonishment of the
heir a woman appeared whom he had not
met for sixteen years. It was his first, wife.
He married her in West Hoboken when he
was a youth of 20 years. They could not
agree and quarrelled. She alleged that he
beat her and less than a year after their
union ho fled and did not return. A child
was born shortly after his departure.
He was a rover for several years, but
came back to tliis city and made it his home
about 1875. He found a more congenial
partner and married her, not anticipating
any trouble from wife No. 1. He has lived
happily with his second wife, and they have
live children. The marriage, of course, was
invalid.
The first wife entered a claim for a share
of the estate, the right of dower. Her
claim was a feeble one, but it made the sit
uation decidedly awkward and complicated.
The laws of New Jersey presume that when
a husband or wife has not been heard from
for seven years he or she is dead. Wife
number one did not hear from her absent
husband for that period and she married.
Her husband and she live contentedly in
comfortable style in Jersey City and have
several children. Her marriage, too, is
bigamous. Although, while the law holds
that the husband’s long silence and absence
are equivalent to death, anil make a good
ground for divorce only, she presumed that
it entitled her to wed again without a
divorce.
Both were in embarrassing positions, and
to avoid going to the courts a compromise
was easily effected. Th# wife received a small
allowance in lieu of dower, an amount less
than $l,OOO. She intends suing for a divorce
on the ground of desertion. The husband
will make no defense, and 6he will again
wed her present husband to avoid coinpli
cations in the future. After she obtains
her divorce her first husband will again
marry his present wife, as the decree of
divorce does not prohibit the defendant in
New Jersey from marrying again. Livesey
and his family reside in this city.
The other (lay a lady aud gentleman were
accidentally overheard as they were repeating
the same old story, that was aged when the
earth Itself was young, and pledging the same
old vows of mutual love aud fidelity. The gen
tleman had evidently been married liefore. and
was eager to impress his companion with the
idea that ho would make another voyage on the
troublesome ocean of matrimony with a heart
that had lost noue of Its capacity for loving,
even though the first object of its devotion hud
iieen taken away; so when his companion naive
ly looked up and put the question: "George,
dear, should a widower mourn very long for his
wife?" "Only for a second," came the startling
and cold-blooded response.—Boston Budget.
