A lawsuit Is pending in the Wisconsin courts involving a one-sixth ownership iu the great Colby iron mine of the Gogebic range, the peculiarities of which read like a romance, and illustrate at once Ibe rapid rise in land values consequent upon mineral developments, nnd the looseness with which business is transacted iu the newer portions of the country. The defendant iu this case is Ca] —N. I). Moore, the discoverer and principal promoter of the Gogebic range, who is now in this city, and who was in duced to tell the story of tile law suit to a Tribune reporter as follows: The captain had located the Colby mine and had induced the present Lieutenant Governor of Michigan, Mr. McDonald, and a Mr. McKay to furnish him with the neces sary money to take up the lauds, their inter ests being one-third each. The property was undevelojied for some time, and was held in the name of McDonald and McKay. Meanwhile Oapt. Moore had discovered at the head of Gogebic lake a bit of mineral laud containing nickel, cobalt and tin. He was exceedingly anxious to get money to tak ■ up t his land, aud for that purpose went to John Monroe, a brother-ill-law of Mc- Kay, of whom he asked SIOO for a half in terest in the new discovery. Monroe agreed to furnish the funds provided that, Capt,. Moore would admit him to an interest in the laud already taken up by McDonald and McKay. Moore agreed to let him have a half of his one third interest for $230, on condition that lie should take a one-half interest in the nickel and cobalt property for SIOO. w hich was sufficient to make all the payments for the preemption. Monroe paid Capt. Moore SIOO, gave him $lO to bind the bargain for the other transaction, and for the lialanee of the $230 gave his note for $240 payable in one year’s time. When Capt. Moore came to locate the nickel and cobalt prop erty at the head of Gogebic Lake lie found other persons ahead of him, and made arrangements with Monroe that the SIOO should be used as a payment on the $240 note. Under the supposition that McDonald and McKay had given him a warranty deed for his one-third interest in the projx rty held in their name, Capt. Moore gave Monroe a warranty deed for a one-sixth interest. But Monroe became dissatisfied and asked for the return of his money, agreeing to give up the note and telling Capt. Moore that the deed had not I e'en recorded. Mi x ire jiaid Monroe his $l7O. Capt. Moore hail left the note in the hands of McKay, who was a brother of Firs. Monroe, and lie says that she had succeeded in obtaining it from McKay by tearful representations without Capt. Moore's knowledge. Monroe died, and after a time it came out that the war ranty deed given him by Monroe hud been recorded, and that his widow also held the note. She married a second time a limn hy the name of Crawford, and is the claimant for a one-sixth interest iu tfce Colby mine under these circumstances. Her j brother, McKay, when he found she was going to make trouble for Capt. Moore, in [ dneed the latter to have his one-third inter jest in the Colby mine placed iu his wife’s I name. The suit involves a one-sixth own ] ership in the mine, the royally from the leasehold interest of which is alone worth from $120,00U to $130,000 a year. It was won hy Mrs. Crawford in tho lower courts, but, has been carried up to a higher Ix-nch. la talking about it Capt. Moore said that in suite of the large amount involved he would not have fought it, hut, that Mrs. Crawford knew all about the transactions from begin ning to end. Sheepahoad’s Speedy Steppers.

THE CENTRAL UNION HOLDS ITS FIRST SESSION. Claims that the Attitude of th* You tons Toward Other Nationalises Uaa Been Misrepresented Resolutions Denunciatory of the Knights of Labor Sent to a Committee. Chicago. Sept. 3. — The first business ses sion of the German Roman Catholic Central Union of America was opened this morn ing in Bt. Michael’s Hall, with prayer by Rev. Dr. William Tappert, of Covington, Ky., who is one of the leading spirits in the gathering. There were about 300 dele gates present. President Spannhorst, of Detroit, made an address of greeting to the delegates. Ho claimed that the attitude of the German Catholics toward the other nationalities had been misrepresented and false re ports circulated. In his opinion the German Catholics recognized no distinction of nationalities. No national questions ever came up in their meetings. On tlic questions at issue between the Irish and German Catholics the church alone had authority to decide. He asked the delegates to use no hard expressions against other nationalities. PRESERVING THEIR LANGUAGE. The Germans in America were obliged to preserve the German language in their schools. On account of that thy had been reproached with trying to Germanize America. That charge was unjust. The Germans were true followers of the church and understood its teachings. Charges of that kind should be treated with con tempt. President Spannhorst denied the truth of the report that he ever said that they* would insist iqxi.i the German lan guage in spite of toe bishops, lie con cluded by* congratulating the German Catholics upon the gro.vtn of their socie ties, ami advised that each lienevolent so ciety have a fluid to tie used lor the relief of workingmen in distress. After the appointment of committees, George Mietscli, of St, Raul, introduced a resolution; of w hich the following is a trans lation: Whereas, The so called Knights of labor come forth from day to day for the purpose of helping workingmen to their rights by unright eous means and trampling law and order under foot, aud try to destroy scriptural faith, there fore Ixi it hereby Resolved. That we urge all Catholic working people to keep away from said societies, for ac cording to our experience such company is not advisable for Catholic working people, for where Prohibitionists. Anarchists and Social ists assemble to consult about the welfare of man kind there should not tie found any German t’atholic workingmen. In order to protect the good name of German Catholic six’ieties front injury, all societies should lie exhorted not to receive in their midst any Knight of labor, and such as are already iu them should be induced to leave said order of the Knights of Libor. SENT TO A COMMITTEE. Friederich Arendes, of St. I Aiuis. moved to lay the resolution on the table but was voted down, all but two or three delegates voting against him. The resolution was re ferred to the Committee on Labor Matters. Before the recess thirty-two new* societies were admitted to the Union. At the opening of the afternoon session a dispatch was read in reply to one sent last week to the Catholic Convention of Ger many, now in session at Trier. The reply was signed by Count Liallestrel, chairman of the convention, and reminded German- American Catholics that, although the ocean intervened, their brethren in Ger many were bound to them by one common faith aud comradeship in the battle of the Lord. Three hearty cheers were given for the Catholics of Germany. RULING OUT ENGLISH. An interesting “question of principle’’ was raised when the report from the society* of New Orleans was read, which was writ ten iti the English language. Objection was made to receiving it on that, account, anil Dr. Tappert again came forward and moved that the Secretary be in structed to find out whether or not the German language was employed as the offi cial medium by that society or not, and, if not, that the secretary notify the society that the Central Union received no societies but such ns did employ the German language exclusively. All this was to be done in the spirit and tone of brotherly love, but it must lie insisted u|xm, the reverend gentleman said, as it was a question of principle and not an inch should tie yielded. He wanted to have tho matter settled at once, but it was re ferred to the Committee on Constitution. As the conclusion of to-day’s proceedings, a cablegram was ordered sent to Pope Leo, congratulating him upon his approaching jubilee and asking his blessing. A ROMANCE FROM LIFE An Old Soldier’s Re marriage to the Wife of His Youth. From the Philadelphia Press. Economy, Pa., Sept. 2. — When Henry liebley, an old soldier, was quietly married to-day in the home of Squirt- Offrey, in Wrigsville, a little village about six miles from here, it was the sei *011(1 time that he nnd the frail woman by his side had made those vTiws. The romance of their lives is like the imagining of a fertile-brained story writer. It was the closing act in a drama upon which the curtain was rung up more than twenty years ago. It. was in June, 1857, that Henry, Lebley, a promising young farmer of 21, who had m lierited front his father wha’ was a snug lit tle fortune in those days, first tiegan to pay his addressee to Minnie Hexer, a farmer’s daughter of Iff, who was then one of the ru ral I idles of Reaver county. She seemed to favor hint until a dashing young Southerner, named Harvey Johnson, who claimed to be long to one of the best families of Kentucky, appeared in the neighborhood and became a rival of the honest young farmer for her hand. Then she seemed to forget, that Deb ley ever existed, and his suit would have fared badly but for Minnie’s father, who brought such pressure to lx sir upon his fair daughter that she at length unwillingly con sented to become Ixibley’s wife. It was very evident, however, that her infatuation for Johnson was complete. The latter seemed greatly affected by the loss of his sweet heart and disapjxftred shortly before t.he wedding The honeymoon bad scarcely passed when Mrs*, lebley received a letter pnrjxjrting to come from an old schoolmatx', who hadgoiie to reside in Ohio, aud who urged the newly made bride to pay bar a visit. With her husband’s consent, Mr*. Lehiev left home ostensibly for that purpine, but never from that time until today was she seen in Wrigsville again. When the time set for her return had pit Mod her luixhand and her inther made ovory effort to find her. but without avail. LEBLEY MARRIES AGAIN. Three years (mused by. and ( lieu the de serted httsbiuid married again. The father of the missing bride hat! never recovered from the shock of his daughter s disappear ance, and had died a broken-hearted man within a year after its occummee, leaving to his son-in-law property amounting to sime $30,000 —all he (xissesNeii— with the condition that the legatee should never re lux his efforts to findltis missing wife, and that when found, no matter how great her offenses might have Ikxjii, he should make suitalne provision for her. When the civil war broke nut in 1861 Leb ley was one of the first three-years’ men en listed from Pennsylvania.' He jiavied through many battles unscathed, hi t at Gettysburg he received what the surgeons feared would prove a mortal w ound. His young wit', whose tenderness nnd truth had eoasolod him for the disappointment and iinliapninrst of his first marriage, hastened from her country home to her husband's IxvUide. and during the long week* that, he hovered bet ween life and death nursed hint with uniroitMlnir devotion He at length recovered sufficiently to lie ; taken borne, and when another month had | passed lie-rejoined his regiment and served jto the end of the war. His wife's health had been undermined by the long vigil at j his bedside. She iell into a slow and grad ■ ual decline and not long after life's army had surrendered and her husband had been mustered out of service she died. Wifeless for the second time, Henry t.e'o ley seemed to lose interest in all things around Jiim, anil in his great grief to shrink front all human companionship. For the past twenty years he has been a silent, solitary man, trusting the conduct of his affairs almost wholly to a nephew whom he had adopted and whose young wife was the only other inmate of the quiet household. AS FROM 4THE DEAD. A few weeks ago there was pin ed in his hand a. letter addressed to his dead father in-law. At sight of the familiar hand writing lie trembled and grew pale. It was from the long-absent wife of his youth. Hastily breaking the seal he read that she was a jKKir outcast, who, weary of her wretched life, prayed her father’s forgive ness, and implored him to take her back to his heart and home. The letter was dated at Chicago, and within a few hours Lebley was on his way to that city. What passed between husband and wife at their first meeting is, of course, known only to themselves. It lias since been learned that, Mrs Lebley eloped with Johnson, who overcame her scruples by an Indiana divorce aud a marriage with hint. After a few years of wretchedness and poverty he had cruelly abandoned her, and she had gradually sunk lower and lower until at last she had resolved, like the prod igal son, to arise and go to her father. REUNITED IN LOVE. The sight of his first sweetheart and wife, whose memory, in spite of hintself. Lebley had fondly cherished in his heart through out the long years, rekindled all the ardent passion of his youth. He -forgot and for gave everything) and to-day, in the little dusty room which ’.Squire Offrey calls his office. Henry ladder and Minnie Hexer re peated the same vows of love and constancy that they had made to each other three decades ago. Despite the long years of suf fering through which she iiad come to l>eaoe at last, Mrs. Lebley’* face is a beau tiful one still. Romance Ruthlessly Ruined. From the Roston Courier. A friend sends to the editor the following experience, which has the merits of being at once amusing and suggestive. Whether Mr. Howells would relish being identified with realism in this way is a doubtful ques tion, but there is at lea-st no doubt that such is the falo, it being one of the penalties he pays for popularity: tine pleasant, afternoon of last week I was walking along the high and breezy eastern bank of the Upper Mystic Lake. My com panion wus a young lady who had then, for the first time in the summer, escaped from the city. “See,” said she, pointing across the lake, ‘ ‘there is a tower on the other shore among the trees. I will be a prisoner there anil you shall conte and rescue me. You will stand at the foot of the tower, under a great oak tree, an hour after sunset. You will sing and I shall hear you and come. We will steal down to the border of the luke to where your boat lies hidden —over there iu that little cove—and then we will sail away, von and i together, to fairyland, as they do in the romances. When I am out in the country, like this, I lielieved the old ro mances. But, oh, dear! when Igo hack to the city I think that perhaps Mr. Howells is right after all.” I ‘ Mv dear,” said I, “that is not a tower over there; that is a chimney. I know* the gentleman who lives in the house. He does not like people to wander alxmt his grounds at night singing. My boat is at homo in the stable because it leaks. But even if it were in the little cove, all taut and trim, the gate keeper haj orders not to let any boats pass the dam- not even two lovers fleeing from the enchanted tower to the fairy country in the South —West Medford, I think itisdown there. ” “Mr. Howells is right,” said she. “Let us go back to Boston. ’’ An Improved Telephone. Milford Sprj iul to the Boston Advertiser. By invitation of W. A. Hayward, mana ger of the i’ulsion Telephone Company, the Associated Press agent and other newspaper men inspected their private wire this after noon. The transmitter contains a most sen sitive vibrator, fully covered by patents, and uses no electricity. Two transmitters were placed in the attics of two different buildings aud connected hy I,t*oo feet of bare copper wire. Another was run to an apple orchard, wound around a tree and continued back to the house. The party stood in the orchard and Mr. Prince went to one of the attics. Conversation was carried on by simply standing near and talking toward the linil) of the tree that the wire was at tached to. The lowest whisper and the ticking of a watch were distinctly heard by placing one end of a broom handle or a stick against the tree and the other end to the ear. A hat was held against the w ire, and the Press agent walked <<o feet by actual meas urement from the hat aud vet distinctly heard all the conversation. The playing of a harmonica and singing was heartf a dis tance of 75 feet, from the hat. The party then went to the attic of the house, where one transmitter was stationed, while Mr. Prince remained at the other end, nearly half a mile away. The low*est conversa tion was heard in any part of the house, also whispering, singing, etc. The party then went out- of the house down stairs, and stood iu the yard, three feet from the stairs, and heard Mr. Prince sing and talk. Mr. Prince then went down stairs iti the house where his transmitter was located and talked in an entry wav from the t ransmit ter and wire, and could be plainly heard by the parties at the other end. Milford is thoroughly excited over the new invention. A Negress Killed by a Train. Jesup, Ga.. Sept. s.—To-night at 9 o’clock as a colored excursion train for Savannah was leaving this place. Josephine Freeman tried to board the train w*hile it was in motion and fell between the cars. Two coaches pused over her, killing her in stantly. Stimulate the Blood.
