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 lion of parcels bought and sold. Deeds were iiie invention of lawyers. Registration in a THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JULY 11, 1887. 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. OFFICIAL SIOItTI ARY REPORT Of the City of hniannnh for flic Week F.nd- Ing Friday, July K, IHH7.
