evening by the police. They learned
that Wesley Harris, one of the worst
Of the number, was in hiding in a
deserted house in Fort Pickering,
sud formed a Gordon around the house
to await such time as be might show
himself, and thus give them reason
for breaking into the house without a

and at the expiration Of that time, a
pal approached the house and opened
the door, when the capture was easily
effected. He spent the night in tht
calaboose, and will go down to the

the latest production of the pop

Harland, has recently appeared
the publishers being Ander-
son 4 Alden, of New York. 1t is a
handsome book, finished in excellent
taste, while it ID written in that
sm9o'h graceful and easily understood

ess. Its pages from first to last are
f%reighted with common sense, sound
logic and wholesome advice. Marion
Harland in this work proves herself a
most profound thinker, and her ez
pressive sentences are too plain to be
misunderstood. The advice she gives
the young people in choosing their
life companions is TO be commended
to those contemplating OonBubial al.
liances. She points out in strong and
unerring style the evils attending a
union with an unworthy or unhealthy
object and she also defines duties o.
husband and wife toward each other
20 well as to their children. Mothers
particularly would do we'll to read thil
book and after giving it a careful pc

Death of Mr. Russell and Mob
Demand for Wilson the Mnr-
derer.

About seven o'clock yesterday even
ing death came to the relief Of Mr..
Frank B. Russell. A post norton
examination made by Drs, Sims and
Rogers showed that the ball which
caused his death had entered the
bowels and severed the intestines in
half a dozen places, making recovery
an absolute impossibility from the
moment the ball entered, When the
news Of his dea;h spread about the
neighborhood a crowd began gathering
and an hour after the sidewalk in
front Of the house on fernando street
near Vance was lined with a
hundred or more men, whose manner
boded no good for the vile s%coundrel,
to WHOM the catastrophe was due.
Between | and 2 o'clock this morn
ing about two hundred persons col.
lected in front Of the county Jail, aud
a number of them, who we're masked,
advanced to the gate and demanded
the keys. The %jailer, Mr.. William
Quinn, refused to hand them Overland
after a short while spent in parley the
crowd dispersed for want of a leader,
The movement had been desultory
and wholly u~norgsnized, aud for this
reason did not succeed. A crowd who
collected Saturday night, with the
same purpose in view, concluded il
would be unwise to hang the fellow
as Mr.. Russell's wounds had not theT
ended his life.
1t is a lucky thing for the murdere,
that he was protected by the stropI
walls Of the Jail, for, had he BEEF
allowed to remain in the insecrr
stationhouse, his carcass would by thi
time adorn a lamp post.

UNITED STATES COURT.
Three Gases Decided by Judge
Hammond To-day.

In the United States Court this
morning Judge Hammond decided
three cases, all of Importance, Of
which a brief account is given below.
The first case was that of
HALL VS.. NJ. & c. R. R.
FROM the proof in this case it ap-
peared that w. B. Hall and his wife,
two old people, aged respectively 50
and 76 years, were elected from the
train, at White Station. because the
limit of their tickets had expired and
they refused to pay fare. The follow
ing clause of the decision covers all
the ground. IA passenger holding a
ticket, the limitation of which has ex-
pred, cannet insist that the condue-
tor shall take it in violation of a reg
lation of the company requiring the
conductor to demand train fare of
persons without tickets, although
he may have an understanding with
the station agent of whom the ticket
was purchased that it would be
received after the time limited on
the face of it and on the
refusal to pay the fare
election from the train was not wrong
full, and the measure for damages in a
suit for a breach of tho alleged con-
tract is, in the absence Of proval OIL
any special damage by delay, only the
price of the extra fare demanded and
paid for transportation to the place Of
destination" Motion for a new triaI
in the case Of
TAYLOR VS.. THE LIFE ASSOCIATION OF
AMERICA
on a bill to administer the assets O
an insolvent life insurance company
of Missouri, the assets Of which wa,
found in Tennessee, Judge Hammond
decided, briefly, as follows. while
the State may seize the assets of al
insolvent foreign corporation and ad
minister them as a trust fund for tn,
benefit of creditors, in the absence o
a statute especially declaring a prefer
ence or lion in favor ofhome creditors
the distribution is pro rata, whenove
the creditors reside and the fund be
longs to all the creditors and not OK
clusiyeiy to those residing in the Stat
OF Tennessee. But when a life insur
ance company became insolvent an,
under the laws Of the State Of its GRE
