As a lawyer and a politician Mr. Ennis is widely known- He is a married man and the.

father of two children, and for several years he has been a lsw partner with Congressman -Billy" Mason. 80 it was to defend his rep. station and that of his family that Mr. Ennis tnado an important move' before Judge Tulcy yesterday. Messrs.

In his cross-bill Beauregard avers that his wifo is a vindictivw woman, and that he was obliged to lea his business in Jamaica and finally 00m to Chicago.

In deciding the motion, the Court said 1 "I do not know Just what my powers are to nnmnal HMLMmnl.in.nt 4m wmft bis bill by affidavit, but the present outrageous charges against a prominent member of the bar requires a precedent and if there isn't a precedent I will make one now.

Baynolds filed a bill in the Circuit Court yesterday to-forfeit the charter of the Biverside Edison Company. The bill avers that Havemeyer and Baynolas are both residents of the village; that the former owns property worth $75,000 and the latter $25,000. Oct. 26 last the Biverside Edison Company secured the passage of an ordinance from the trustees of the village, purporting to confer npon it the privilege to erect an electrical plant in the village. Within ten days after the acceptance of an ordinance the company waa to file a bond in $10,000.

It is said that the sureties on the bond did not qualify and therefore the ordinance became void. But tile company, however, proceeded to put up unsightly cedar posts, and this is said to be another violation of the ordinance which provides that the company should use turned wooden poles mads to resemble iron as near as possible. Judge Tuley granted an injunction restraining' the company from putting up any more or stringing any wires along the streets and ia the parks of ths village UNWARRANTED PROCEEDINGS. B.S. Britton and Frank Burton, whose places were entered by the police Dec 11 on a charge of unlawful gaming, filed petitions in the Circuit Court yesterday in which they describe the proceedings before Justice Glen-non as oppressive and unwarranted by law.

They also attack the law under which the Justice proceeded as unconstitutional, and as no appeal is provided they ask the Court to issue writs of certiorari in order to have a rehearing before-a higher judge Judge Mo-Cotmell issued the writs. Britton's place was at No. 2700 State street and the police there captured two tables valued at $100. Burton was located at No. 75 Custom Hrrese place and Buffered to the extent of 500 chips, four packs of cards, and a table all worth $300.

Both men say they bad no notice of too raid and say the property trill be destroyed unless the writs are issued. Oscar R. Gleason, better known as Professor Gleason the horse-tamer, was mado defendant yesterday in an attachment suit for $687.33. Nathaniel Behrens brought the action on a judgment secured in the Civil District Court for the pansb of I moans, ljoulsuina. Charles E.

Davies and A. Bussell are made garnishees. The suit is an attempt to reach lesson's share in the proceeds of the ''ghost" show. Clarence Yorker began attachment proceedings against the Professor and Kather-ine E. Gleason on a claim of $3641.

The judges of the Circuit Court held a meeting yesterday snd approved the petitions presented by the Superior and Probate clerks, Recorder btepbens. Coroner Herts, County Clerk Wolff, snd County Treasurer Kern for additional help. There are slight increases in each office. Band. McNaQy is Co.

began an assumpsit suit in the Circuit art yesterday to recover $100,000 damages from Frederick Seeman, Adolph. Loeh, William Loeb, and Edward U. Pauling. The defendants are said to be sureties on the bond of a contractor who is accused of violating his contract in the construction of plaintiffs' building. Mary, Hulda, and Minnie Hennings, the minor children of Mrs.

Henrietta Henmngs, residing at No. 678 Mead street, were taken awsy from their mother by Jndge Koblsaat and awarded to Caroline W. Romney. It wss shown that the mother was an improper person to have the children, because she sent tnem out begging upon the streets. The Brash Electric Company, of Cleveland, yesterday filed three additional suits in the United Ststes Circuit Court against Mandel Broa.r George H.

Williams and Frank alleging that these three firms are using arc electric lumps that are infringements of patents owned by the complainants. The lamps are of the double carbon variety, and ass made by several electric light companies in Chicago. Judge Shepard yesterday issued a writ of ne exeat forbidding George Fiahbach from leaving the State until a hearing of his divorced wife's complaint can be had. Adele Fishbach-, the complainant, obtained a decree of divorce last June and was awarded $10 alimony. She represents that her ex-husband has allowed payments to accumulate until $90 is She fears be will sell bis -property and move to Wisconsin.

On this account the court was asked to interfere. What property Joseph R. Bickerdike may own is the object of a creditor's bill filed in the Superior Court by Mary and Edwin Allen. The action is based on a judgment for $2,068.43 obtained in 1873 and still remaining unpaid. The complainants aver that Bickordike has $5,000 worth of personal property and is interested in valuable Mississippi pine lands owned by the Delta and Pine Land Company.

The bill asks that the defendant be required to show what property he owns and that a receiver may be appointed pending a hearing. AN EVENTFUL CAREER. Senator reltoa' Keoord as a California Forty-alaer. Charles Feltbn, of California, one of the batch of new Senators sworn ia on Monday last, has had an eventful career. He is a native of New York State, and was a '40er.

When a mere boy, says a Washington dispatch to the Globe Democrat, he entered the California gold" migrating from camp to camp in the restless fashion peculiar to the miners of the great West lie was always neatly and almost fastidiously- dressed, and for this he was eartirized by his companions in camp who did. not attempt to conceal their contempt for the "dandy," who was Tery. careful to- brush every spot of dirt from his clothes and wipe dust from his polished high-heeled boots. His linen was always clean and nicely starched. Felton was not mnch disposed to mingle indiscriminately among the "boys," yet withal be was sociable enough in a quiet, superior way, and was not unpopular with a majority of bis companions.

lie was known to be dead game, and this in early days of California covered a multitude of sins, such as wearing white linen, polished boots and the practice of other effeminate habits. He became a candidate for Sheriff of Yuba County. His opponent preferred serious charges against the young New Yorker. It was alleged from the stump that he imported his white shirts and that they cost $tt each. Felton, as long as he could, ignored these allegations, but when the popular clamor against him became too pronounced he met the accusal tions in this wise: "Yon see these clothes they're mine.

I bought and paid for them. I imported these shirts, and my studs are genuine, California laws do. not forbid my wear-tug them if I choose. I will, continue to wear what I please, and if yon don't like It you can go to h-." Strangely, enough he was elected, bat by a bare majority. In the year 1854 or thereabouts a mob collected at Marysville and TOOK A riUSONEli KliOJf THE JAIL to hang him.

Mike Gray, at that time celebrated from his filibustering exploits in Nicaragua, arrived at the town, and- approaching the young Sheriff, this dialogue ensued: "Yonng man, what's your name" "Felton." "For the love of God you're not the Sheriff, are you 7" -I am tho Sheriff." "Do yon see that man erer there?" Pointing to the wretch who was even then having the noose adjusted around his Berk). I see him." you aware that yon have a duty toperforin. Have you a pistol?" "Then follow "me." These two accom pained by two others 'arrived at the spot. Felton stood op ia SUNDAY INTER OCEAN, DECEMBER 20, 1891. a Vagon su motioned for ur lias ever since Ln 1 -y the mob and lie was then snd 1 for his epigrom- mstie speecucs.

"Gents, you are 111 and we are few, but if you don't up that prisoner we will get some of And with this they flashed four volvers before the astonished eyes of th" mob. The prisoner was finally rescued I marched back to the jail at. the top of a hill, followed by the howling mob with i.iHtol drawn. Felton was afterward el" to the important snd lucrative office Tux Collector of Yuba County. After a time he removed to San Francisco, became a stock operator aud was interested in the Fpring; Valley Water Company, which supplies water to the edty- of San Francisco.

Fortnnste land speculation in Alameda County, ef which Oakland is the county seat, increased his rwealtb. He held the position of Sub-Treasurer of the United States at San Francisco for a term of years, was twice elected assemblyman, and was once, defeated. In the Legislature he was noted for an ability to crowd more into a three-minnte speech than an man in the State. He was twice elected to Congress. His services in that body gave him no great reputation for either oratory or statesmanship.

In March, oUl, he was elected United States Senator TO 8UUCKED OBOUUK HEARST, DWEASED. his principal competitor being Morris M. Estee. During the contest a story was circulated and published to the effect that Estee, rummaging in a waste basket one day, brought forth a handful of small pieces of paper, which being fitted together proved to be a list of legislators with some figures and a dollar mark set opposite each name, snd that these legislators voted for Mr. Felton.

Review of Sample) Trades and Im-, provements Indicating tho x- Strength of the Market. THE MARKET. With nothing of a very surprising oaturs to characterize the week in the way of sales, there is abundant evidence to be found of real activity and strength in the real estate market, quite exceptional with that which usually prevails during the holidays, and it is thought that during the cessation of business attendant upon this season of festivity, and the casting npof accounts which it will gain increased vigor sufficient to continue through out the yeoxtnd that the year's total may sur pass that of 189L Several sales of some consequence have been made during the past few days, while many important transactions are in process of negotiation, with every prospect of a successful term ins tion. Report has it in several instances of large amounts of outside capital being placed here for investment ia central business property, one sale during the week just closed lending color to the truth of this statement showing that outsiders have a greater appreciation of what the future will bring forth than thoss who are actually on the ground and remain stupefied, being unable to grasp with a full realization tho tendencies of the times. Very little is being done in acres outside of the one or two attempts to form industrial centers, but these have not progressed sufficiently to tell what the outcome will be.

Two smalf acre tracts changed bands during the week, but they were in lo calities in which the general high grade of 1 ue property ana uio usual renin cuons maae its future value a certainty.

Tho facts Concerning the Leasing ef the BoUsa Property to A. B.

Black all. A correct statement of the facts in connection with the leasing of the Holden property on the south side of Madison street, 60 feet west of Dearborn street, will prove in The property is 45 feet front with a depth of 100 feet, with a court in the rear 8 feet wide and 80 feet long, connecting with the east and west alley between Madison and Monroe streets. The building, which is- aa old one, is five stories high snd is occupied by merchants. The property is owned by the heirs of Charles N. Holdea, deceased, for wbom uiiam h.

Holden, the attorney, acts as trustee. 'The lessee is A. H. Blackall, i whei has figured recently in a urn bdr of important State street, leases. Two leases have been made, the first- run ning for fifteen years, from May 1895.

and the other for eighty-four years after th ex. piration of the fifteen years, providing the lessee wishes to carry out his contract The terms of the-lease are 130,000 for the first five years, S22.S00 for the second five years, and $23,000 for the third five years, the lessor paying the taxes. By the terms of the agreement if the lessee wishes to retain the property for eighty-fOur years after the ex piration of the fifteen years lease he must, hflfova Mir 1- 1900L nrv S8-0f0 aa adnnw. rent on the long-term period and if be does avail himpeU of. this privilege his rent a year will he $7,600.

An interesting feature Of 1 the lease is that lessor can rebuild the property if be chooses, giving the tenant the same amount of space that be would hare in the present structure, the remainder to be for the ns of the lessor. At the end of ninety-nine years from Msy 1, 1896, the property shall be land and building, and if the lessor does not purchase the building at the appraised value the lessee must pay as rent for soother term of ninety-nine' years 6 per cent on appraised value. There is no building clause a the lease, but the contract stipulates that toe lessee can not take-down the building unices be first deposits with th lessor $60,000, Which, it is provided, shall go toward the construction of a building worth $100,000. Had this been a ninsty-nine-year lease with the usual conditionrnnd the usual test of values the averads renfMbr the period would have fixed a value the property on a per cent byyusror nearly $120 per square foot and a little than $12,000 per front foot This pro perry the rear part of the Fuller Block, waa purchased about fifty years ago by Um late Mr. Holden for $000.

A STATE STREET CORNER SOLD. A. Alexander, fays SOSOO lor the Corner ef State and Uarrtaaa Streets. A. J.

Alexander, the well-known Kentucky capitalist, who is already heavily interested in Chicago real estate, has just purchased from Mrs. Annie O'Neill the ground and building at the northeast corner of State and Harrison streets, known as Nos. 357 and 59 State strset, for $205,003. The ground fronts 40 feet on State with a depth of 138, and is occupied by a five-story stone and brick building. The figure at which the sole was made gives the ground a valuation1 of over 15,000 a front foot, or $37 square foot ILn i considered a little high for property in this locality.

There is, of course, to be taken into consideration the fact that Mr. Alexander owns the sixty feet to the north adjoining this, and this purchase gives him a clear frontage of 100 feet by a depth of 138, sufficient ground on which to erect a building of much greater height than the sixty feet would- permit which will probably be a realisation of the near future, although no such intention is in immediate contemplation. The vast interests centering in this locality, comprising the Auditorium, Mr. Leiter's big store, the Alley Bond, and the great Elevated Terminal are no doubt responsible for the present stiffening of prices, and will show greater appreciation in values in the future than has ever been witnessed in this locality in the past ON THE NORTH SHORE. Acre Tracts 1 wltb a Assured rotor Chang Hands.

Several notable transactions in North Shore property have taken place during the week, the most important being the purchase by Cyrus McCormick snd Emmons Blaine of twenty -eight acres at Highland Park of Hugh T. Birch for $56,000. An important point in this sals was that it was made for cash. The property is only a small piece of what is known as the Birch property, comprising between 800 and 400 seres of land, very delightfully situated at different places along the north shore, and is all owned by Mr. Birch.

The tract just sold is on the bluffs, south of the Northwestern Railroad station, and between Lake Michigan and Sheridan drive. The lay of the land is beautiful it being crossed diagonally by a ravine. The sale augurs well for the future of the prop-erty as well as its environment as it" is stated that the purchasers contemplate the erection here of summer homes. Franklin H. Doland has purchased from L.

B. Townsend, a Michigan capitalist seven acres at Birchwood Beach for $50,000, being a trifle over $7 XX) an acre. The property comprises block 1 of this subdivision, and lies between Lake Michigan and Sheridan road, with the Indian boundary line on the north, and Howard avenue on the south. The track has been subdivided, and to some extent improved, but it is the intention to continue the improvements on a somewhat more elaborate snd sell it out ia lots through F. H.

Doland St Co. Remarkable nuxa una oimi aunieyea in UM nsnaung ol this well-kndwn Birchwood Beach tract which originally comprised 100 acres on the lake shore between the Indian boundary line on the north, Tuohy avenue on the south, with the Chicago and Evonston road skirting it to the west It was purchased in 1890 from the then owners, O. B. snd H. U.

Chase, by C. E. Simmons, F. F. rand on, and H.

B. Cragin and improved at an expenditure of $50,000. Since that fme almost 4he entire tract has been disposed of, less than 8 per cent remaining in the hands of the syndicate. An excellent feature in the sale of the property, was the building restrictions which were adopted at the Outset giving purchasers assurance of pleasant surroundings at all times, and the result so far as building improvements are concerned, is that a better class of houses have been erected hero than usual. So far seventeen houses, costing from $3,600 to $10,000 have been built Dunlap Smith 6 Co.

have sold 148x160 feet at the southwest corner of Lake View and Wellington avenues, for John A. Spoor and Dunlap Smith, for $34,800 cash.
