The Hon. Jefferson Davis is in the
city, a guest atthe Gsyoso Hotel. If
the venerable and beloved statesman
is specially at home anywhere in the
States whose chief he was during the
war it Is here in Memphis, where
he spent many Of the most
pleasant years Of his life. OF course
he will receive the attentions of our
citizens, who will eagerly avail them
selves OF the opportunity to pay their
respects to the ex-President Of the
Confederacy, one Of the foremost fig
ures of our era and one of the most
noted men of our time.

A Rich Old lady Troubling the
Lawyers.

DETROIT, MIeH., November 23-
Charles Richardson, OF Alpena, died
about year ago, leaving a will be-
questhirg TO bis widow prope rty val
usd at $9O0,0J0. The will was cor
tested by his brothers aud sisters.
The wife employed r. j. Kelly, J. ID.
Tiumbell and George H. Sleator as
attorneys, and then, contrary to the
advice Of all three OF them, compro.
mised the suit by paying the relatives
S20,000. When the attorneys brought
in their bills for services on account,
according to their own statement,
Kelly demanded $4,000, Trumbell
$4,000 and Sleator $4,000, as recon-
pense for advice which, not being
taken, Mrs. Richardson considered
the charges exorbitant, and refused to
pay. Saturday che drew $4,000
from the Alpena Bank and came to
Detroit to keep II away from the law
yers, placing $59,0C0 in the American
Exchange NatioGal Bank OF this city.
However, the lawy ers followed her,
and, learning that they had taken out
gsrnishment for the bank, she
drew her money out, snd has since
kept 1t about her person. 1t is i'm
possible to tell the outcome. The

IT is the habit just now with cer-
tain Southern newspapers to keep up
a cry Of Noitbern capital, as If all our
present prosperity was due TO it and
to the labors alone of enterprising
and far seeing Northern men. While
it will not deny, as ii cannot, the aid
and encouragement of such men 90
Mr.. O. P. Huntington, who has done
more for the South, this part especial
ly, than all other Northern men put
together, and has done his work
judiciOusly and well, the APPEAL will
insist, with the lessons in this State,
and in Alabama, and in Virginia be-
fore the public, that the vast bulk Of
our prosperity since 1855 is due to
men amongst us, whose sagacity and
enterprise made secure, sure and
safe places for Northern capital. The
lamented Maj. Peters, J. @. Neely,
Col. Ensley, Napoleon Hill, H. NJ.
Neely, Col. Rucker, holland Fontaine,
"Jim" Smith, s. H. Brooks and their
associates are among the Southern
men to whom Birmingham, Ala, is
largely indebted for it's rapid growth.
A. s. Colyar, Of Nashville, and O. M.
McGhee, of Knoxville, and their as
sociates, have done wonders in build
ing up great enterprises in Middle and
East fenness ee, and Mr.. Pace of Rich
mond, Va, is leading spirit, as wss
Gen. Malone some years ago, in that
section OF the South. Then there is
Mr.. Plant, pres ident of the Southern
Express Comp any, who has been inti-
mately identifi ed with the South for
thirty or more yesrs. To him Florida
and Southwest Georgia are under last
ing obligations for the rapid construe{
ton Of railr cad system, nearly 1900
miles in exten (, that has induced and
aided q marv elously rapid develop
ment OF the Flswery Land" These
are few amo ng the men the South
must rememb er as smong the most
enterprising OF her own citizens and
as largely infu enCing her greatest aud
most profitable enterprises.

SNOW Causing Trouble On the Rail-
roads.

ST. PAUL, MINI, November 23.-
The roads running through the north.
ern part OF the State and in Dako'a
are having some trouble today. In
the northern pant Of the State, along
the Manitoba line, there is not much
snow, but the high wind, which has
attained the velocity of a gale, has
interfeIed come with the running of
trains. The Northern Pacific road is
experiencing some trouble with the
snow, which is drifting badly and de-
laying trains. Throughout the Red
river valley the mercury is down in
the neighborhood of zsro. 1t has
been showing nearly all day along the
line of the st. Paul and Pacific road,
but the fall has not bsen heavy
enough to interfere with travel. The
Milwaukee, Omaha and other roads
running throughout the southern part
of the State have had light furries Of
snow all along their lines, but no de-
lay has been experienced In running
trains. The mercury on those lines
ranges from 100 to 30o above zero.

RURAL JUSTICE.

About three weeks ago Portuguese
brought suit in the Waikiki Police
Court against two Chinese, All Nee
and Alau, for replevin of horse. Mr..
John Richardson was counsel for the
plaintiff, and brought the suit under
The law Of 1884 without filing an aft
davit as therein required. The China
men said they had a bill of sale for the
horse. Counsel for plaintiff demanded
possession of the horse. Defendants
refused, saying the animal belonged to
them. Counsel then asked the Court
to require of the defendants Ia bond to
take care of the horse until the case
was decided. The Police Justice
granted the motion, telling defendants
they must furnish bond.
A few days later All Nee on his way
to Honolulu met the judge at Kahului,
who again ordered him to give bond,
which the Chinaman again refused
to do.
Last Wednesday the case came up
again, but before trial the Police JUS
tice asked All Nee if the bond had
been given. On receiving reply in
the negative the judge fined defendants
SIS each for contempt of Court They
then declared they would appeal, but
the judge informing them that they
had no right to appeal, both defendants
said that they would so to Jail.
They were accordingly committed to
Jail, but on final hearing of the case
they proved ownership of the horse and
were released from custody. All Nee
is now in Honolulu to enter suit OF
damages for false Imprisonment against
the Police Justice.
Errors and omissions excepted such
is the story as related by an official to
our reporter. 1t is sample of the very
peculiar justice sometimes heard of as
being dispensed by the Hawaiian types
of Dogberry. The law,in such case
as the above, our informant says, re-
quires the plaintiff to file an affidavit Of
his claim and take possession of the
property by legal process, at the same
time givin a bond for the care of the
property and expenses pending judg
ment after trial. In this case the JUS
tice ordered the wrong party to give
the bond, imposing severe penalty
upon them for refusal to obey. Prob
ably, however, it is contempt of Cour
to disobey even an illegal injunction, il
which case the Waikiki Justice may
not be liable for damages

officers undergoing temporary Imprlson-
ment on Saturday and getting out by
that operation. When out Of the cell
Davis found a step ladder used about
the bnilding, which had been left near
his cell, and took it down stairs with
him, thence through the corridor to the
north end, opening out in view of the
receiving room, the sliding doors OF
which next the yard are usually about
quarter open. Here the fugitive once
more had the blue sky as his only
roof but the twelve feet high walls were
still between him and freedom. With
the step ladder they we're readily over
come, the culprit getting over in Messrs.
Brown & Co.'s yard and away.
Diligent measures we're on discovery
of the escape taken to recapture the
clever scamp, but up till midnight last
night there was no account of his
whereabouts. Marshal Krulukou says
it was somebody's duty to have
kept an officer on watch at the upper
cells, and also to have seen that the
lock was properly fastened. He was in
the Deputy Marshaps office himself
with officers Tell and Wond until after
ten o'clock. His investigation of the
affair showed that Officer Tell was the
last to visit the cells, but the Marshal
says frankly that he prefers to accept
all the blame himself rather than inn
pute any to isubordinates. He is con
fdent, however, that the measures
adopted to recapture the rogue will be
successful.

Escape of Dav,s.

Street talk had tangible subject on
morning in the escape of
Frank Davis, the Seaview robber, from
the Police Station during the previous
night His cell was one of those on
the upper floor, and the door was found
by an officer making the rounds after
daylight to be unlocked, the prisoner
gone and the lock lying on the floor.
The regular watch as well as Mr.. Keau,
the night keeper, were at their posts
during the night, SO that the escape OF
such an important culprit was for a
time mystery.
Officer William Tell, police in
structor, has given eur reporter plau-
sble theory of the way it happened
The officer who should have locked the
door left the spring lock unfastened,
but the door was locked with bolt at
the top and one at the bottom. There
was room between the bars of the door,
h oweyer, for man with slender arm
to reach through and push back both
bolts. This was proved by one OF the
