that it should be divided into premiums, to be
offered by the county organizations for the
best steers, best farm accounts, management
of FARMS tree planting and rearing, encour-
agement of the boys as an incentive for them
to plant crops needle work, farm i'm

PER CAPITA Or PER STRIPES.
An Interesting Legal Question Devei-
Oped at Chicago

CHICAGO, ILL, November 14.-In 1873,
GTiswold Warner, wealthy capitalist
of Pittsburg, died, leaviu g an estate valued
at S500,000. By his will this was to be
distributed equally among the eight
children of his daughter, Mrs. Osburp, and
Harry Mccartney, the only son of a de-
ceased daughter. The will admitted of
two constructions, the eight children
claiming that they were entitled to eight
ninths Of the property, and that Harry
was entitled to one-ninth, while the latter
claims he was entitled to ore-half the
estate, and his eight cousins to the other
half. The suit was brought in Pennsylva-
MIA to construe the will, and the court de-
cided Harry took one-half and the other
eight children ihe other half About
$500. 900 worth OF this prc psrty is in this
State, and bill was accordingly filed
here to c0nstrue the same will on the
ground that the courts of each State are
the arhitrators concerning the land in their
own State. The case was called for hearing
yesterday before Judge Tuley, and partly
heard. The question at issue in legal
phrsseology, is whether the children took
per capita or per stripes. Each party has
numerous authorities to support his posi-
ton, and the arguments will probably
take a whole aay

TRIPLE HANGING.
Execution of the Italian Trunk Muir.
derers at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Ill, November 14.-Gilardo.
Azzaro and Sylvestre, the three Italian
murderers, who are to hang at noon to-day
for the murder of their rfellow-countryman
Flllipo Caruso, passed quiet night. They
all slept quietly until daybreak, when
they all arose, and lighting cigarettes kept
up an animated conversation with each
other until little after O'Clock, when
their breakfast, consisting of oysters. fish
and potatoes fried in oil, veal outlets,
coffee and toast, was brought them. They
ate with seeming relish. After thew had
finished Father Moretii arrived and mass
was celebrated. AS early as 9o'clock a. M.
there was large crowd assembled in the
vicinity of the county Jail.
The three men appeared on the scaffold
at IL o'clock, and at 10 o'clock pm. the
drop fell. There was no delay in carrying
out the programme previously arranged,
and the carrying out of the extreme PEN
atty OF the law was done in a befitting
manner. On arriving at the spot of exc
cution the condemned were at once placed
In proper position on the trap side by side.
Gilardo maintained an especially brave
demeanor, as did Sylvestre, but Azzaro
kept his eyes closed continuously and WAS
apparently on the verge of breaking down.
They all repeated in Italian the prayers
for the dying as first pronounced by the
priests. This occupied about five minutes,
and after the prayers were finished Jailsr
Folz adjusted the straps, and the white
caps and shrouds were quickly placed on
the men, after the nooses had been placed
about their necks. A few moments after
this was done a prearranged signal was
given and the trap sprung at exactly II :09.
1t was all over for Sylvestre and Gilardo
at once, their necks being broken in the
fall
A more fearful death was decreed for
Azzaro. The moose slipped when the rope
stretched, and the knot lodged under his
chin. The poor wretch drew up his legs,
shudders ran through his frame and his
convulsiye struggles were terrific to see.
He was slowly strangling The crowd
pressed forward. The medical men sur
rounded the quivering body, while ex-
pressions of horror came fcom those who
could see it. For full four minutes the
twitchipg lasted, while the gasps, longer
intervals gradually ensuing between each,
did not cease until five and half minutes
had elapsed. 1t was seven minutes before
the PULSE ceased to beat.

THE Memphis, Birmingham and At
lantic Railroad Company was organized
yesterday by the election OF a temporary
Board OF Directors and permanent officers.
This company embraces the Memphis and
Selma charter and franchises, and makes
for Memphis an organic alton no less inn
portant than the Kansas City rail
road, which has revolutionizsd trade and
helped the city forward in its pres
ent march to prosperity. In the coal and
iron fields of Alabama Memphis is to fnd
veritable mines OF wealth, and from them
is to receive fresh impetus to more dar-
ing ventures in trade than she has yet
tried. This new road comes at the light
time-iust when we are ready for it as the
sequence Of the Kansas City enterprise,
and we predict will prove no less protita-
bic to Memphis than that road has.
