PATTERSON & BELL.

PATTERSON & BELL.
Appeal from the Chancery Court Of
Kinds county, Hon. E. G. Peyton,
Chancellor.
Mrs Henry, a married woman, was
the owner of plantation in Kinds coun-
ty. A portion of the land she had
bought from Montgomery, giving there
for her three promissory notes OF
$600.00 each, secured by reservation
of the vendors lien in the deed of con
veyance from Montgomery to herself.
This being the condition of the proper
ty, the appellants advanced to Mrs Hen
ry.several thousand dollars for planta-
ton and family supplies, taking there
for her note and deed of trust on her
personal property and the crop of the
current year. The appellants filed their
bill to subject the land to their claim,
setting forth in the bill her interest in the
land and accurately describing the land
BY numbers. The bill further charges
that 100000 OF the money obtained
fir M the appellants had been applied by
Mrs. Henry to the payment of the first
note held by Montgomery and secured by
vendors lien. The prayer Of the bin
was to subject the separate estate of Mrs.
Henry, generally, to the payment of the
whole amount of the Indebtedness due
them.
Pending this proceeding, John Chaffe
& Sons bought the other notes held by
Montgomery, and filed a second bill
against Mrs. Henry to foreclose.
In the first suit, there was decree
subjecting her separate estate to the
claim due compliments and subroga ting
the compliments to the lien of Mont
gomery to the amount of the first note.
Pending the two foregoing suits, and
sometime before final DEGREES were rem
dered in either of them, Mrs. Henry
applied to, and obtained advances for
plantation supplies from Patterson &
Bell, who took a mortgage on all the
lands as security, and they file this bill
to foreclose their mortgage, claiming
that they have priority over John
Chaffe & Sons on all the claims except
those notes secured by the vendors lien.
+. Baldwin, for the appellant.

CAMPBELL, G. j., Held
/. The first bill of Chaffe & Sons
against Mrs. Henry did not operate To
make Patterson & Bell purchasers pen
dente lite in so far as it sought to sub
ject Mrs. Henry's separate estate to their
claim.
2. But the first bill of John Chaffe &
Sons did constitute lis pendeas as against
Patterson & Bell in so far as it sought
subrogation to Montgomery's lien under
the first note secured by the vendors
lien.
3. Patterson & Bell are entitled, as
against appellants to the proceeds of the
sale of the property over and above the
amount necessary to pay off the notes
secured by the vendors lien.

The Gospel Temperance Work of Chris
; tan Women was begun in prayer anC
faith December %, 1873, in Hillsboro
Ohio, by Mrs. Judge Thompson
daughter of Gov. Trimble,) and hel
coadiutors. Its first meeting was held
in the Presbyterian church, Rev. DIR
AcSurely. The ladies who engaged in
it were of all denominations, and their
work from that day to this has been
altogether ttnsectdrian and noa-pdrtisaa.
The work in its0rganized form Is known
as the Woman's Christian Temperance
j Union, National State and local, and
over three thousand towns and cities are
now organized. Its objects are, to unite
the women Of all branches Of Christ's
church in temperance work for the pur-
pose Of educating The young, forming
better public sentiment, reforming
the drinking classes and transforming
by the power Of Divine grace those who
are ensIaved to alcohol and removing
the dram-sh0p from our streets BY law.
The wonderful victories Of this Society
in Iowa, Ohio and other States, are well
known to the reading public. On the
23d of December Of this year will occur

that By that date every State and Terri

General of the State has just published
an opinion that all roads doing business
in the State are subject to State control
He says:
81 am of the opinion that the Law
means just what it says, that all railroad
companies organized or doing business
within this State shall be required to
keep the office and books described with
in the State, if they have any stock,
whether they lease or own a road or a
right to use one, and whether they run

States, and that this applies to all the
companies owning, leasing or in any way
using any road within the State.

Appeal from the Circuit Court Of Madi-

Judge.
Appellant was indicted for the larceny
Of i mule, Jointly with one Spears The
appellant had taken up the mule as an
estfay with the intent, at the time, to
find the owner and give up the animal,
Subsequently he entered into an ar
angement with Spears by which the
latter was to come and take away the
mule and sell it and they were 10 divide
the proceeds. This was done, and on
the trial the court charged the jury on
behalf Of the State that if the appellant
took the mule with the intent to restore
lit to the owner, but afterwards con.
ceiyed the purpose of stealing it and
so appropriated it, this constituted
such felonious taking as would render
him guilty of larceny.

Appeal from the Circuit Court of War.
rem county, Hon. Warren Cowan,
i Judge.
| This suit was brought by Mrs. Kent
against the Anchor Line Steamboat
Company for damages for the alleged
negligent killing, by the Anchor Line
Steamboat Gold Dust, of her husband,
on the following state of facts: On
March I'd, 1882, at a landing of the Mis-
sissippi River, the Gold Dust ran near
to the shore, rounded to and stopped to
take on the mail bags. The boat could
not approach nearer the shore on account
of high water. The officer of the
steamer called to Kent, deceased, who
was the postmaster at the landing, to
bring the mail out in skiff, and with
one oarsman in the skiff he set off TO
the steamer. In approaching the
steamer, the officer directed him to pub
around the steamers bows and bring up
on her off shore side. After passing
across her bows the skiff was turned
down stream and the stage plank was run
out from the boiler deck Of the steamer
about twelve feet above the water.
The skif was in a strong current, and
began descending rapidly, and at that
moment the stage plank was lowered to
within two feet Of the water; the skiff
being very near, the oarsman tried 10
keep off and to steer around the end Of
the stage plank, but the skiff struck IL
and was swept under the stage, the cars
man lost one of the oars, the skiff be-
came unmanageable and was drawn
under the wheel of the steamer. which
was slowly turning, and KcnI syss5 lrilIod |

The interests of the country are as
diversified as are it's soil and climate,
and each interest assumes that 1t ought
to receive favors which 1t is ready to
deny to others. Louisiana sugar pro-
ducers insist that their industry should
be protected by the highest possible
duties, while Eastern importers and
sugar retiners contend with equal per-
tinscity that the present duties ought
to ba reduced in the interest of the
public. Southern manufacturers Of
cotton are crying out for free machine
ry, and against this the producers { 1
machinery Indignantly protest. Mich
igan aud Maine want foreign lumber
excluded from the country, while the
prairie States declare that it must
come In free of duty. The miners q
ron ore want an increase Of duty Oh
their production, and the manufactur
ers Of iron protest against 1t, insisting
that the price Of ore is already toe
high. The iron men in turn are as.
ssulted by the producers of steel

the investigation. Each Of these men,
Is well as the speaker, are on record
voting for Joe Willard for United
States senator. An investigation by
such Q committee Is an outrage, and
the republican party Is responsible FOL
this crime against the people.
1t Ia self evident that the republican
party has degenerated into q mere
machine to register the will Of the
railroad bosses, and the honest leader
who see the hand writing on the wal
are powerless.
