The Snprome Court Finally Decides th Celebrated Gaines Suit Which Has Ileeu Before the Courts For Kitty-five Years. Washington, May 15.

The United States Supreme Court In an opinion by Justice Bi ndley awarded the executors of the will of Myra Clark Gaines the sum of $576,000 against the city of New Orleans for the use of property sold by the city and recovered by Mrs. Gaines after long litigation. The judgment of the lower court awarding the executor $130,000 for the use of the unimproved property sold by the city was not concurred in. The caso probably Una been the most interesting, the hardest contested and the most prolonged known to the judicial history of this country. Over thirty years ago Justice Wayne, of the United States Supreme Court, said that when the historian of the American bar should come to write up the case it would be registered as the most remarkable in the history of NATIONAL EXPENDITURES.

A man named Eldridge was arrested yesterday morning for refusing to vacate a lot and yield possession to the party whom the arbitration committee declared the rightful owner. A warrant was issued for Eldridge's arrest and it is said he resisted the officer.

It Is to be "improved" in the modern meaning of the word.

A great many people will visit the island and will find not only tho ruins of the fort which Mr Walter Kulelgh'B ill-fated colonists built there, but the ruins of the fortifications built nearly three centuries later by the Confederate and Federal forces in succession. The island has always been an object of special interest. Your correspondent has gathered from Captain Walter Dough, the oldest resident of the island, some facts In its history which have not been made public. The population of the island was in 1861 about three hundred. Many sn listed in the Confederate tinny and remained in service during the war.

Even after tho island was captured by the Federal troops the natives who were there were faithful to the Confederacy. A marked exception was found in three natives who piloted tho Federal gunboats, but hunger and general destitution were the causes. The battle of Roanoke Island was short but sharp. The present Governor of North Carolina, Daniel G. Fowle, was captured there with almost the entire regiment of which he was then Major.

Tho United States officers and troops were very kind to the natives, and their kindness was appreciated and reciprocated. Yet, notwithstanding the friendly feeling existent, not one joined the Federal troops. The island was assigned as a place of refuge for negroes, and in the spring of 1864 there were 11,000 of these who had sought protection from slavery. The scenes on the island during all those months were terrible, and will never be forgotten. There were all sorts of petty jealousies among them, and deaths from poisoning were of daily occurrence.

This taking of life was allowed the wildest range. Counted Open Day and Night. since that time decision has followed decision in regard to it until it has become a byword that there was always a Gaines the crowd and commanded it to disperse, at the same time exclaiming that he was a peace officer. The crowd did not readily disperse as ordered, but on some one crying; "Look out there is a gun 1" the street was soon cleared. This is the first and only excitement that has occurred in this peaceful, law-abiding city since the opening day.

Not many pistols are worn here now. Men coming in from remote sec case pending. The first suit sought to recover what was known as the Evariste Blanc tract in New Orleans.

The grounds on which Mrs. Gaines set up her claim were that she was the child of General Clark by a secret marriage be Important Decision. A decision covering a new phase ot the Prohibition laws was rendered recently by the Supreme Court.

Some time ago the authorities of Lyon County seissed an immense quantity of Intoxicants, including forty barrels of beer and ten barrels of whisky. Preparations were being made to destroy the liquors, when a Kansas City wholesale liquor dealer appeared and commenced an action in replevin to regain possession of the liquors. The clerk of the court refused to issue the papers. The wholesale dealer appealed to the highest court, and a decision was given in his favor. The Suprems Court held that "the clerk of the district court is purely a ministerial officer, and whenever an action of replevin is brought, and in such action the proper affidavit for an ord-r of delivery and the proper undertaking are each filed in the clerk's office, it is the clerk's duty to issue the order of delivery.

Intoxicating liquors are not contraband in this State. They are still property, and may be legally manufactured and sold for certain purposes, and may be legally used for almost any purpose for which intoxi tween bim and Zulleme Carriers, a woman well known in the city, and that General 1111 Main St. tions of the country sometimes have a pistol or gun with them, but as a rule the people in town and out in the country have no use for weapons.

The was not until a few years before the war that Mrs, Gaines was finally declared to be the illegitimate child as woll as the lawful heir of General Clark. Even then the city of New Orleans did not surrender, and after the war Mrs. Gaines was com-pelted to bring a suit for damages. Iu 1S81 the Circuit Court of the United States for the Louisiana district gave judgment in her favor for $1,923,607 and it is on appeal from this judgment that the case has been decided. The present case, it is generally conceded, exhausts all the resources of the law and is regarded as a final settlement of the litigation.

A council of the Prussian Ministry was held yesterday to consider the question of the strike among the coal miners. The session was a prolonged one. Prince Bismarck presided. At the height of the discussion Emperor William appeared and took an active part in the deliberations.

It is reported that the council decided to summon to Berlin deputations from the mine owners and miners in order that they minht submit their disputes to Government arbitration. The delegates sent by the striking miners to wait upon Emperor William have arrived in this city and will be received as representatives of the 100,000 miners. The semi-official press deny the reports that collisions occurred between the troops and strikers on Saturday, and assert that there was no rioting in any of the disturbed localities.
