Counsellor Lyon found lt necessary to search tho title of Mr. Smith to the farm on which tho tilter had lived fm- sumo years with his family. The lawyer searched tho reeords In th. Morris County Court Hoon for sixty years tack, and found that Mr. bm"h's title waa all right. Ho found tho record of s stuail moit gagu on Um farm, but ho had tern told of Its ex? istence by Mr. Smith. The Judgment record of tho Circuit Court of the county showed there were no Judgments against Mr. Smith. In order to com? plete tho scarh, CeUBSOOor Lyon wrote to tho clerk of the Bupnms Court of tho State at Trenton, asking him to have a search made of the rcords of his oflice and send him a list of all tho Judgments recorded against John Smith. In about a week Counsellor Lyon received a bulky document (nm the clerk of tho 8'ipt.>me Court. It was the result of the search ho asked for In his lettora The size of tho document almost took the lawyer's breath away. It showed that John Smith had Judg? ments enough recorded In the otllee of tho Supremo Court to offset the valuo of half of tho farm? of Morris County. Mr. Lyon at once set to work to unravel the ca-se- Ho found that there were mauy John Smiths In >ew-Jorsey.In fact tbey woro to bo bond from tho rock-ribbed farra of I_nquarry Tuwnshlp, In Warren County, down to the white sands ol Cupe May. Mr. Lyon wrote to all t!;0 lawyers who had secured Judgments and from Ibolr repliers he made out a complete record of them. One nt tho curious features of tho case waa that fully one half of the Judgment, had teen paid In full but had not been cancelled of record. Others were uuder rolne Kettl?*ment.

A trip on the railroad would give a bettor id.ia of tho gorge to spectators In quicker time than can now be obtained bv anandlug a whole day and 410 to 915 on elevators, naokmen aud other tout-res of cost to strangers at tho falls. The main trouble ba* been to get tho right of way. Tlie guestlop of euiluei.t domain *on.es In and lt has beeu held that the road, being built for pleasure and not for commerce, cannot en? force the condemnation of land by commission, m o: ld be done by a regular railroad. The sum likely :o be cha'-ged by owners of abutting property tor the right of way would be ao great that li would quench tho enterprise entirely.
