At the Probate Court on Tuesday last,
Judge Logwood presiding, the petition
of Lizzie Robinson was fled praying for
the custody Of a certain male child. the
legitimate offspring of r. ID. Matteson
and Mrs. Eva 7. Matteson. The petit
ton asks for authority to adopt said
child and that its name be changed to
that Of John Waldran Kellar Robinson.
The petition Of Matteson and wife was
also filed, showing that the vail, which
was born on the 22d Of April, 1877, at
the residence Of Mrs. Elliott on Poplar
street, was their child, and that for rea-
soss satisfactory to themselves they
agree that said child shall be adopted by
Miss Lizzie Robinson, and agree to the
change of the name of the child from
Matteson to that OF John Waldran
Kellar Robinson. Judge Logwood, act
ing as probate judge, acted on the petit
ton and ordered q decree entered of
record. The decree winds up as follows:
That the child be hereby adopted and
bound to said Lizzie Robinson, she
agreeing TO clothe, school aud support,
and in oil respects care for aud provide
for said child as though the said was her
natural child, and further that the said
child shall inherit any and all property
belonging to said Lizzie Robinson, and
the said Lizzie Robinson is to have all
control and power owe said child, to the
exclusion Of any control on the part OF
tho childs natural father and mother.
The court DEGREES further, that the said
Lizzie Robinson shall have the care aud
custody Of the child until his majority;
and 1t further appearing that the parents
OF said child had failed and neglected
to provide for OF take care Of the child,
and that said Lizzie Robinson had since
the birth Of said child provided for and
in oil respects hath taken care Of it,
therefore it is dccreed and ndjudged that
said Lizzie Robinson be allowed to adopt
said child, and that the name Of said
male child be changed to John Waldran
Kellar Robinson, and that he be here
after known as John Waldran Kellar
Robinson"

Mule Boxes vs.. Omn,huses.

On Monday last one of Patterson &
Co. omnibuscs, driven by o negro and
en- route for the Memphis and Louisville
reilroad, owing to the street obstruction
known as the railroad curve, on the
corner of Main and West Court streets,
accidentally collided with a mule box,
but not before the bus" driver stopped
and was run into by one Of Barrett's
lightning express boxes. The street car
driver left his car and caught one Of the
omnibus-horses by the head and refused
to turn loose when ordered by the bus
driver, who had to make the train in a
hurry with his passengers. Another
street-car lriver came up and caught the
other horse. The black bus driver
came down from his scat and was at
once struck By one Of the mule-box
drivers with a whip, but he at once
knocked down beth street cur drivers
and they failed to come again to time.
A dray driver jumped in to assist the
street car men, and he too was sent to
grass under his dray by the sturdy ne
gre. He got away with all three, al.

The police arrived and arrested oil the

city Financial TROUBLES.

At the general council meeting held
on yesterday, Mayer Flippin presented
the following message in joint session,
which message was acted upon and Vhe
appointments suggested we're confirmed:
To the Honorable General Council:
Some time since you empowered me to
open negotiations with the creditors of
the city. looking to an adjustment of its
financial difficulties. | have done so by
written communications, and with graft.
ling assurances of ultimate success.
You also suggested, il deemed by me
expedient,4 CHAT two other citizens, TO be
confirmed by the general council, raight
cooperate with me in an effort to settle
our municipal indebtedness. This sur-
gestlon think eminently wise and GER
tainly not only desirable by me, but
would be much more satisfactory to your
body and to our citizens generally. In
lurtherance OF this idea, and inasmuch
as the new assessment Of our property
ordered by the last legislature has Just
been completed, we think the time has
now arrived when decisive action shonld
at once be taken. Therefore submit the
names Of j. C. Nicely and B. M. Estes to
MD me in this most important matter.
and respectfully ask their confirmation.
