Alleged Fraudulent Conveyance.

The property which it is alleged was conveyed
by Stoughton A. Fletcher to his wife and
daughter, Mrs. Laura Hodges, is again the basis
of litigation. Mrs. Martha Il. Davis, in her
complaint filed yesterday, states that Fletcher g.
Sharpe owed her 81, 900, and in October, 1884,
she obtained judgment against them for
$3,49l.17, which remains unpaid. Stoughton a.
Fletcher, she further complains, conveyed a
large lot of real estate to his wife and daughter
for which he received no consideration, and that
it was done to prevent the payment of her judg-
ment. On the 9th of last March she alleges
that Mrs. Hodges and her husband and Mrs.
Fletcher and her husband, conveyed this prop
erty to Henry j. Milligan as trustee, who be-
came assignee of Stoughton A. Fletcher, July
10. 1884. The next day Milligan took possess
ion of the property with the purpose of selling it
and applying the proceeds to the payment of
Fletcher's personal debts, and after that the re-
mainder would be turned over to Mr.. Wallace.
receiver of Fletcher & Sharpe. Mrs. Davis's
suit is against Miliigan, who does not recognize
her judgment as a lien against the property in
his possession as assignee. She claims that if
the remainder is applied to Fletcher g. Sharpe's
debts there will be paid not more than twenty
FIVE cents on the dollar. She wants her judg-
ment declared a lien on the Stoughton A.
Fletcher estate.

MORE ABOUT EVANSyILLE'S BONDS.
Arguing the Question of the City's Author
ity to Issue Funding Bonds.

The suit OF William Fl Moulton, of New York,
against the city of Evansville, to enforce the
payment of interest coupons on bonds to the
amount of $50, 900, issued in May, 1868, was
argued yesterday before Judge Woods, in the
United States Court. The bonds, which bear
interest at the rate of Z per cent, payable semi
annually for the period of thirty years, were
issued to raise money for the purpose of aiding
in the construction of the Henderson & Evans
Vile branch of the Louisville & Nash
Vile railway, and for the aid Of
the Evansville, Carmi g. Paducah railway.
The city has repudiated the payment of the
bonds, a council representing the Reputation
sentiment having been elected at the last cleo
ton. 1t is claimed that the city government,
under its charter, had no authority for issuing
the bonds. and upon this plea various questions
arise. The counsel in the case are, for the
plaintiffs, Matter & Harris, of Springfield, Ill,
and Baker, Hord & Hendricks, of this city, and
for the defendants. City Attorney Rucker, of
Evansville, and Mcdonald, Butler & Mason.
The case has been taken under Amusement by

A Dangerous I.unatic.

Three weeks ago Eunonia Cosler whose mother
lives at $50 Indiana avenue, was discharged from
the Insane Asylum as an incurable. His mother,
thinking that country air would benefit him, took
him to the farm of her son in-law, VIM. MeCord,
in Jasper county. He improved somewhat, but
yesterday morning he became wild while sitting
at the breakfast table. He seized a chair and
would have killed his mother had it not been for
the timely protection of Mr.. McCord and his son.
CoSler gave both men hard work to quiet him.
Yesterday they brought him back to the asylum.
Cosler is twenty three years of age. and is said to
have become crazy on account of continuous
reading and study.

A Bloody Murderer.

At Atlanta Thursday the Supreme
Court heard the argument in very bloody
murder case. 1t was the case Of John
Drake, of Epson county, who was charged
with the savage murder Of his wife.
Drake WAS barber and lived at Thomas
ton. One morning he appeared at his
shop with bloody knife in his hand. He
was deeply agitated as he laid the knife
on a shelf and proceeded to shave GUS
toner. At almost the same time his cabin
was noticed to be on fire. People rushed
90 the burning house, and, running in,
found the dead body of the barber's wife.
She was horribly cut up and mutllated,
and the murderer had evidently fired the
house ia the hope Of cOncealing his crime.
Drake was arrested and confessed the
murder, saying jealousy had impelled him
to the terrible crime. There was talk Of
lynching him but better counsel prevailed.
Drake was put on trial, and the bloody
instruments OF death-an ak and a knife
and the bloody clothes--were shown TO the
iury In open court. He was convicted
and sentenced to death. His case was
appealed and the argument was conclu-
ded before the Supreme Court yesterday.
The decision may be expected next Tues
dav. or the Tuesday following. The gene
raj opinion is that Drake will yet suffer
the death penalty.

''The liquor men have made big mis-

'WhyW
because the lawyers who brought the

not only for a bill Of injunction, but for a
subpoena to be issued and proceedings 10
be had as in the regular course Of a bill in

and the bill is not dismissed, don't see

Grand Jur,.s Presentm ont.

To his Honor B. C. Presley, presiding Judge
Of he Court Of General Sessions for Ander-
|. son County:
The Grand Jury for Anderson County
at this the frs. term of tho Court for the
year 1885 beg leave to submit the follow
ing report:
That we have discharged the duties
committed 10 us at this term OF the Court.
That We have through committees from
our body examined the several County
ocflles, jail and poor house, and find
them in good order. There are aome re.
pairs needed about the Jail. A great
many glass are out of the windows and
should be'replaced. We think also that
the prisoners should be required to keep
themselves and their cells moro cleanly.
That the several County officers seem
quite efficient and their books neatly and
correctly kept. They are all sadly il
need Of moro room and furniture.
We find the office now occupied by the
Treasurer entirely too small to admit Of
officer to transact his business with fncili-
ty. Considering the Importance OF the
office and the accumulation Of books and
papers, and the largo number of persons
necessarily having business there, We re-
commend that our County Commission.
ers provide some more commodious place
| where the Taxpayers can be waited on
| with less Inconvenience to themselves
than under the present arrangement.
This change would place the Grand Jury
| in possession of their old room which they
| very much need.
That the Auditors Office needs desk
| and some furniture to protect the books
and papers Of the Office, and we recon-
| mend that the County Commissioners
have the necessary furniture made.
We glanced over the bill to simplify
| and make more efficient the law In, rela-
| ton to tho assessment and collection OF
taxes, recommended by the tax commits
sion and to he acted upon By our next
| Legislature, and we would respectfully
suggest to our Senator and Representa-
tives that they would do well to visit the
offices of our County Auditor and Treas.
urer and inform themselves thoroughly
upon these matters, We suggest this be-
cause these officers are well acquainted
with the business and can give great
many valuable suggestions. Our present
system is greatly In need Of simpi!hca-
ton. Our Treasurer and Auditor are en-
gagged In the practical part Of the tax bust
ness and are capable OF giving valuable
information on our system for collecting
taxes. - =.
