A MEMORY OF THE WAR.
Deciding the Last of the Old Trust Deed
Cases in Kentucky.

Deciding the Last of the Old Trust Deed
Cases in Kentucky.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. IA case has just
been decided in the Vice-Chancellors court
which is of interest not only because the plain
tilt, Mime. de Kernel, is daughter OF the late
Gen. "Fighting Philip Kearney, but because it
is the last of the old war trust
cases, so common in Kentucky when
confscation of property was guarded against
the late Col Thomas l.. Alexander, United
States Army, married sisters-the Misses bull
lit of this city. The plaintiff, the daughter OF
Gen. Kearney, is wife of Viscount de Kernel
OF Brittany, France. The defendants are the
widow and son of the late Col Alexander, the
widow being the Colonel's second wife. Inc
only child by his first wife-Miss Bullitt-was
Thomas Bullitt Alexander, who served In the
Union Army as Lieutenant until the war OF
the rebellion broke out, when he rendered his
RESIGNATION and entered the service of the Con-
federacy in 1864. On entering that SER
vice he gave to his father trust
deed of valuable property in Main
street, just west of Bullitt street, left him
by his mother, and in the income from which
the father had life interest. This trust deed
was given for moneys advanced by the father
to his son, and conveyed all the property to the
father. The deed, although proved for record
in the following year, was not recorded In fact
until 1881, year after the death OF Mr. Alex
ander. At the close of the rebellion Mr.. Alex
ander went to Europe and lived with the Wis
count de Kernel in Brittany, and was nursed
and cared for there through the long illness
which finally resulted in his DEATH Previous
to his death he ade will leaving the prop
erty toMme. de Kernel his cousin aud near
est OF kin, he having never married. This
property he always claimed as his, and the
father never made any counter-claim until al
3ter The death of the SON Neither of them in cor
respondence ever alluded to the trust deed of
1884 a dooument that seemed to have been fer
gotten until Nine. de Kernel attempted to
claim the property. Then Ihe father put in a
claim under the trust deed which had been un-
earthed and recorded. Soon after the contest
began the father died, and his widow and her
son prosecuted the suit, the property being left
to them by the will of the contestant. The
Vice-Chancellor, in his decision, declares that
the deed of 1864 was trust held by the
grantee for the benefit of his son, and that
consequently the will of T. b. Alexander was
good, and that under it the property goes to

Long Island Crops

Long Island Crops Suffering from Drouth
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-The drouth continues
on Long Island with no better prospect of rain
than there was six weeks ago. Corn is suffer-
ing greatly The leaves are becoming dry, and
crumble when squeezed in the hand. Pastures
have dried up and are bare and the cattle
have to bo supplied with other food. Cabbage
worms are plentiful. They eat the heart of the
plant, and nothing has been discovered that
will effectually destroy them. A small worm
has made its appearance on the leaves of the
bush beans. On some farms the worms have
made snch complete havoc that the bean
patches look as though fire had swept through
them On light soil the vegetables are drying
up entirely, and seed sown ten days ago lies
dormant with no prospect of its sprouting.
Many farmers have their land prepared for
late cabbage and turnips, but have deferred
planting until rain comes. The markets were
overstocked witq garden truck the last week,
making prices low.
