From the New YORK Herald.
William S. Malcolm was an En-
glish silk weaver, who years ago
went 70 Paterson, n j., to work in
the silk mills he was humpbtcked
ana otherwise deformed, aud in the
mil where he was employed he was
made the butt OF Il great deal of rid.
lcu.e HI. temper had already been
soured by such treatment, so that he
was anything but amilbl5 60 those
! around him. Among the employees
In the SANE mill was Young girl
named Lazure, who felt sorry t,,f t4te
old hunpback and took his part
on every occasion, thus making her
SELF many enemies among her com
ptalons. Malcolm had worked hard,
aud eaan started a silk mill of his
own, in which Miss L,zure was his
most trusted operative. He sue.
ceedrd IN his business ventures, aud
when he died some time ago he left
an estate worth $4,000 in bonds and
mortgages. His viii provided that
his wi should receive 1850 per year
of the income of the estate. Mss
Lazure WAS also 10 receive AN annu-
lty OF $3.50, or such sum as might
come from the estate after dtduct-
ing Mrs. Malcolm's $3.50; but Miss
Lazure'S annuity WAS not To exceed
1850. In case the estate should
bring more than 500 per year the
balance was To 20 To Mrs. Malcolm.
The annuity of Mrs. Malcolm was to
be continued during her life, aud
Miss LaZure was to have her yearly
$3.50 until her marriage or death.
AT the expiration OF these leg ,ces
the whole estate was to be divided
among 1.-The most de ervlng poor of
Paterson. Mr.. Murphy now has
the interesting question to decide as
TO who are the most deserving poor
of Paterson, for AL of the income of
the estate exceeding $3.50 per year is
to be divided among them.

WAsHTNGToN, February G.-The United
States court Of claims decided two inter
csting cases to-day. The first was a
suit by Mr.. j., Hoffman, on
account of mail service per-
formed in the state OF Kentucky in lSGl
The suit arose under an act of congress of
March 3, 1877, appropriatiag S315OOO for
payment of claims for mail service in
southern and border states. None of
this appropriation was distributed
by the treasury department, Secretary
Sherman having ruled that all claims must
be presented and proved before any OF them
could be paid. Consequently, the appropri-
alton lapsed into the treasury without any
payments being made from it, In giving
iudment to-day the court held: First, that
the lapse of the appropriation does not
destroy the claims and that claim
ants under the appropriations have Il
remedy in the court of claims;
second that while, in all cases
of mail contracts arising in seeded states,
claimants are required to prove that he
never received pay from the confederate
government, no such proof is required in
lucky, Missouri and West Virginia. Judg-
ment was accordingly rendered
in favor of claimant for
Sli4GG, that beiug the amount of arrears
due him on his contract The case of Tim
othy Ford & Co. was also decided to-
day. This was a suit brought
for extra work done on the Muscle
Shoals canal in Alabama, consisting ofrais-
ing the embankment of the canal, eSCayat-
Ing the rock below grade, and raising the
rock to the great height that was provided
in the specifications. The claim is for
$4,000. The court gave judgment for

RicHMoND, VA, February IA meeting
of citizens of Midlothian was held to-day
for the purpose of forming n plan to pro-

miners Colonel b. O'Brien was in
the chair. Rev. d. Il. Winirec, Hon. George

newspapers throughout the country
be respectfully requested to ask for and re-
ceive contributions for aid of the sufferers,
and to forward the same as fast
as possible to, the relief
committee at Coaltields, Virginia, or
to the First National bank of Richmond.
Following is the appeal to the public:
We appeal to the sympathy and generosity
of the public for contributions for the relief
AMI aIleyiation of the suilerings Of %
widows and lO9 orphans, thrown
upon this community by the recent terri
bic explosion in the Midlothian company's

inst. At the time of the explosion
every one of whom was killed. Twenty-siX
of them were married and leave widows
and children, the great majority
of them in helpless and destitute cOndi-
tion. TO have this large adj
ditional number of dependents thrown
upon this small and impoverished
community in one day in midwinter forces
the necessity of appealing for outside
aid, to prevent, as far as
possible, further suffering -, and
distress. The RicS 'ond q D2nyiIle rail
