Hill, who was the father of Allie. Her
grandfather was married twice. his first wife
being the. mother of Samuel G. Hill, Allies
father, and one other child named Susan.
This lady, Morgan Hills first spouse, was
Miss Brown, sister of Dc. Brown, Lieuten-
ant-Governor of this State. In his second
matrimonial venture Morgan Hill paired
fortunes with Mrs. Halsby, widow of an ia
iuential attorney. By this marriage he Sc

the legal profession at Baltimore, and

half brother of Henry Clay. at Jackson, n .

daughter of Hiram l.. Sloan, who was
originally from North Carolina. Two chill
dren were born te the couple, Allie, who is
now about 80 years old, and her brother
Morgan, who is now out in California. Mr..
Hill made his home at Cape Girardeau, where
his abilities gained him lucrative practice
and his genial disposition surrounded him
with warm friends. Allie in th1se DAYS was
a pretty child. The family was prosperous
until failing health induced Mr. Hill to seek
a more congenisl climate with relatives of his
wife in New Orleans, where he died of con-
sumption. This was prior to the opening of
the war. Mrs. Hill having died shortly be-
fore that, the two orphans, Allie and Nor
gan, were cared for and sent to school by the
relatives Of Mrs. Morgan in New Orleans" 3"
The inheritance of the childreu, Mr.. Davis

Later on, when Allie had grown to be young
miss. she went to Cape Girardesu. Mo, where
she made her home among her relatives and
finished her education. She made her home

broken off between her and gentleman who

Patent Right Decision.
| WASHINGTON, October CHA decision
was rendered yesterday by the Commissioner
on Patents of great Importance, in the inter
ference case of Sawyer & Mann against
| Thomas A. Edison, which involves the ques-
tion of priority in the invention of an in
candescent conductor for electric lamps
formed of csrbonizsd paper. The Commits
sioner awards the patent to Sawyer l. Mann,
and, 10 go doing, reverses the decision of the
Board of Exsminers-in Chief, made July %,
1888, by which priority was awarded to Edi-
son, and sfirms the decision of Examiners
of Interference in favor of Sawyer & NJ ann,
rendered last June. The interference was
originally decided in favoro Sawyer 4 Mann
January g 1882. The case was afterwards
re-opened for the admission of new evidence.
Upon second hearing the Examiner of In.
reference again decided against Edison.
The latter, however, appealed to the Board
of Exsminers-in- Chief, and not only set up
again the claim of priority, but opposed the
issuance Of patent to Sawyer & Mann on
the ground that their conductor was not q
paper carbon, pure and simple, such as that
on which he claimed patent on
the 28th of July last. The Exam
|
of Edison. Commissioner Marble, however,
is of the opinion that the conductor of which
Edison claims to have been the inveHtor and
the Sawyer 4 Mann conductor are substan-
TALLY the same that the testimony shows
where Sawyer & Mann had conductor in q
rude form on March Sth, and in perfected
form in September or October, 1879. The
decision only affects Edison's right to a
patent for an incsndescent conductor made
of carbonized paper. He already holds a
patent for such conductors made of carbon
lied bamboo, willow, and other substances,
which, it is said, be uses in nine or ten lamps
made by him. A decision in bis favor would,
however, have secured to him the entire con.
troll of the manufacture Of csrbonizsd cen-
ductors, as paper is the only substance OF
which such conductors are st present made
that is not reserved by his patents. The de-
cision of the Commissioner is fnsl so far as
the Patent Office is concerned, but an appeal
to the Secretary of the Interior is yet open,
and should the Secretary affirm the Commits
sioner's decision Edison may file bill iu
equity, to compel the issuance of patent to
him, in any United States Circuit Court, and
then bring the question before the legal au-
thorities.
