EXPOSING HIS MOTHER.
An IIlegitimaIe Member of q
Chicago Family Brings Suit
Against His Kin.
ChicagO Herald.

One of the most interesting suits
that has been brought for a long while
was begun yesterday in the Circuit
Court. 1t involves the right of in
heritance Of an Legitimate son. In
the bill filed yesterday by the attorney
in the case, Thomas s. McClelland,
aspersions are cast upon the memory
Of the plaintiffs mother which few
men would care to make. The plain.
lifts name is Edward l.. Couch,
and he says that on November II,
1881, Lucy w. Ballard, widow
Of the late Edward Ballard, departed
this life intestate, and left his sole
heirs at law the plaintiff, Charles K.
Ballard, Frank e. Ballard, and Mary
B. Gage, vile Of Henry H. Gage. She
left property valued at $4,000. In
his petition for letters OF administra.
ton Frank 4. Ballard stated the
proper ty to be worth only S35,000
much below its actual value. Frank
u. Ballard and Henry II. Gage were
appointed administrators of the es-
tate. The petitioner further repre-
sents tina. he was not mentioned in
this matter, and, to mend the error
committed in this respect, be gives a
bit of his biography.
He was born May 20, 1842, his
mothers name then being Lucy W
Plum, and his father'o name Henry
Wilcox, the union OF the two beinl
ono unauthorized by law or religion
On October 8, l847, the petition goei
on to state, Edward Ballard, With full
knowledge of his illegitimato birth
married Lucy W. Plum, and engaged
to treat the orator as if he were hi:
own child, and to make him heir tc
his estate. Despite the promise tht
orator lived, With the exception Of
four years spent with his mother and
her husband, in the house Of his ma.
ternal aunt, Mary A, Couch, whose
name he adopted. His motber, Lucy
w. Ballard, nevertheless admitted heI
maternal relations to bin and an

Three Hen Killed and as Many
Injured


The passenger train on the Memphis
and Little Rock railroad, in charge of
Conductor Trowbridge, which left
here at 4:40 pm. yesterday. was thrown
from the track at Trestle No. &,about
four miles west Of Forest City,
at 100 last evening, the trestle
giving way and precipitating to
the ground fifteen feet below, the mail
car and two second class cars. The
front truck Of the first class passenger
coach was also thrown of, but the
sleeping car remained. Information
of the accident was received here be-
tween 8 and 8 o'clock, and train dis
patcher Whitney Immediately made
up q wrecking train and left for the
scene OF the disaster. There were
about eighty>seven passengers on the
train at the time of the accident, and
it is almost miracle that 90 few were
injured. Mr.. John Adair, formerly
foreman of q pile drive on the Para
more road, and on his way to Brinklsy
to meet his wife, who was in waiting
to go to Louisville, was killed.
Sol Sollinger, q merchant at Solsberg
Ark. on the Knobel branch of the
Iron Mountain road, also Mr.. Gold
berg, we'll known merchant at Good
win, Ark, were killed outright. The
precise manner in which the unfortus
nate trio met their death cannot at
present by ascertained, but it is pre-
sumed they we're crushed in the gene.
raj break up which ensued.
AS far as can be ascertained, only
three were seriously wounded, name
ly: Captain White, claim agent, and
formerly conductor on the NJ. aud G.
railroad, who had bis left leg broken
below the knee. The other two par
ties are unknown, but one sustained
broken collar bone and the other
fractured arm. A half dozen others
we're more or less wounded, but not
seriously so.
The bodies were taken to Forrest
City. placed in collins and sent to their
former homes. The incoming train
due here at lbs last night on
siding at Palestine, q miEe west Of
the scene Of the disaster, waited the
customary fifteen minutes for the out,
going train, and then started eastward.
Arriving at the wreck, the eastward
engine was at once dispatched back to
Palestine, where surgical aid was.
summoned and conveyed to the suf-
terers. The wounded were also re-
moved to Forrest City, where they
are undergoing medical treatment. A
brother Of Captain White will leave
this evening to personally attend the
gentleman's injuries. The track was
cleared away by o'clock this morn
ing, and both the night train, due here
at lbs, and the morning train, due
here at 7:I0, arrived together at half
past ten to. day forenoon.

The vacancy occasioned by the dis
