A MEMPHIS MANUFACTURERS IDEA OF GEN. HAIR
RIsoN's POLICY.
Memphis (Tenn.) Special to the New York Herald
Mr.. Jno. ID. Milburn, of the Milburn iron
works. of this city, has just returned from In
dianapolis, where he paid his respects to Presi-
dent-elect Harrison. Mr.. Milburn is wealthy
manufacturer, republican in politics, but in
dependent of party ties, and at the last cleo
ton voted for Jas. Phelan, democrat. for Con-
gress because he had rendered his district ex-
cellent service Questioned as to his interview
with Mr.. Harrison, Mr.. Milburn said:
1.-The future President received me kindly,
and although very much occupied with CORE
spondence and visitors showed no disposition
to avoid conversation on public affairs. /
represented to him that although was a re-
publican felt bound to admit that intelligent
and respectable white republicans were a
small class in the south. and that the wealth,
intellect culture and refinement of the south
were concentrated in the democratic party.
also gave him to understand that widespread
sentiment existed in the south that republican
success meant negro domination, and that
negro domination meant commercial ruin and
social chaos. Gen. Harrison's reply was brief
but significant. He simply said: The intelli.
gence of the south now rules its affairs and
will continue TO do So
"Was the general tenor of his conversation
such as to impress you that his policy to The
south would be Gberal?"
1T was decidedly so. From what he said !
infer that he cherishes the ambition to break
up the solid south by kind and conciliatory
policy, and to win over to the republican party
the support of the better elements of the south
ern people. As far as it lies in the power o.
the President to accomplish such a result,
believe he will accomplish it. If he fails II
will not be for want of an earnest effort In
spired by patriotic sympathy with the south
and her people,"
did you meet any of Gen. Harrisons friends
and discuss that question with them?"
II did, and they were of one mind on that
subject. There was no hint of the bloody shir.
in their utterances. They expect to win the
south with kindness-not TO antagonize with
hostile legislation. / left them completely re-
assured, and am firmly convinced that the
southern people have everything to hope for
and nothing to fear from President Harrison
administration.

A Married Woman's Right to Make 6
Will.

DECISION OF THE DISTRICT SUPREME COURT IN
THE CASE OF THE ESTATE OF MRS. wELTHA A.
EMMoNs, DECEASED.
In the two cases affecting the estate of the
late Weltha A. Emmons, in the Court in Gen.
eral Term, Judge Merrick delivered the opin-
ion to-day. In one case receiver had been
appointed in a chancery cause, and an appeal
was taken from the order. In the other case
the Probate Court had made an order as to the
issues to be tried by jury as to the validity of
the will. The husband, Prof. Emmons. ten
dered two issues-as to whether the will was
made with the assent of the husband and
whether she had property which she could pass
From the order refusing these issues an appeal
was taken. The court held that the order APP
pointing receiver being an interlecutory one
merely is not applicable. AS to the other case
the court holds that married woman has the
power to make a will. 1t is not the province
OF the Probate Court to determine what shall
pass under the will. The question was. had
the deceased testamentary capacity, and the
question how far shall the will operate is
another. There was however, error as to the
order determining who shall be plaintiff and
who defendant. The case was remanded that
the amendment be made as to the latter point

Love and Suicide.

SAD SEQUEL TO A YOUNG MANS QUARREL WITH
HIS SWEETHEART.
At Sharon, Pa, Frank Thompson, clerk at
the Carver house, fired bullet from thirty
two caliber revolver into his right lung Satur-
day night, and inflicted a fatal wound. Last
night he was reported to be dying. After
supper Saturday night he left the hotel to call
upon Miss Clara Burton, young lady to whom
he had been very attentive. A dispute, origi-
mating in a jest finally led to harsh words on
both sides, and the couple parted in anger
The result of the interview SO preyed upon
Thompson's mind that he went at once 10 his
room and committed the fatal act. Both he
and Miss Burton are of respectable parentage
and stood high in public esteem.

Interest i'm Football.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Interest in football is now almost equal 10
that in what is called the national game. OF
English origin, it was once confined in this
country to such schools and colleges as we're
accused Of being ruled by Anglomaniacs, but it
has extended its scope until many who never
saw a college are firmly held within its grasp.
No fewer than three thousand Philadelphians
witnessed Saturdays contest between Yale and
Princeton, and fully ten times that number
crowded around the bulletin boards here anx-
iously waiting to learn the result Of the strug-
gle. Free as yet from the influences which
once dragged base ball down to the gam
bier level football will retain its hold as long
as the games continue to be the honest tests OF
strength and skill, that they are admitted to be
to-day. Rough as the sport is, it is sport never
theless, as those who have tried it know and
the scars with which many Of the players
emerge from the rush are scarcely regarded as
wounds, or if so regarded, it is with feeling Of
pride, somewhat after the fashion of the Ger
man student in the Schlaeger duel DAYS

Marital Relations of Slaves.
THEIR CHILDREN's RIGHT TO INHERIT PROPERTY
AFFIRMED.

Judge Merrick, in the Court in General
Term to-day, delivered the opinion of the
court in the case of Milly Thomas ct al, against
Hoffman, sustaining the plaintiff in ejectment
suit for property on Sd street, near G.. The
point was raised by defendants that the pres
ent complainants--the children of Milly Thorn
as-not having been born in wedlock. could
not inherit, and that the law to legitimatize the
children Of parties living together as slaves
were wont to do was unconstitutional. The
court holds that the legislation was wise,
proper, humane, and just, and the proof being
adequate as to the parties having lived as hus-
band and wife, and that the present plaintiffs
are the issue, they are entitled to the property.

The Story Of Tiny Tim.

from Iooles hemlnscences-
''In the Christmas Carol says Mr.. Toole,
'rMr. Webster provided a real goose and real
plum pudding, which was served smoking hot
for Mrs. Cratchit and the seven little Cratchits,
Of course including Tiny Tim. The children
always had enormous portions given them, and
all ate heartily every night; but what really
troubled me was the conduct of the little girl who
played Tiny Tim. The childs appetite appalled,
me. could not help noticing the extraordi-
nary rapidity with which she consumed what
gave her, and she looked so wan, and thin and
pitiful, that her face used positively TO haunt
me. We watched, as well as we could, and the
moment Tiny Tim was seated and began 70
eat, we observed curious shutting movement
at the stage fireplace, and everything that
had given her-goose and potatoes and apple
sauce-disappeared behind the sham stove,
the child pretending to eat rs hearty a. ever
from the empty plate. When the performance
was over Mrs. Mellon and myself asked the
little girl what became of the food she did NOT
eat, and after a little hesitation, frightened
lest she should get into trouble-which we as-
sured her couldnot happen-she confessed that
her little sister q should mention that they
were the children of one of the scene-shifters)
waited on the other side Of the stage fireplace
for the supplies, and that the whole family en-
joyed a hearty supper every night out Of the
plentiful portions TO which /, Is Bob, had ~
sisted Tiny Tim"

LEAVES THE CHURCH TO KEEP Hrs WIFE
By the terms of the sentence imposed upon
Rev. Howard T. Widdemer by Bishop Whit
taker, the clergyman was practically obliged to
choose between keeping. his wife and remain
ing in the Protestant Episcopal church. He
has decided to accept the former alternative,
and has sent letter to Bishop Whitaker, of
the diocese of Pennsylvania, Withdrawing
from all connection with the Protestant Epis-
copal church. The charge upon which Mr..
Widdemer was found guilty by an ecclesiasti-
cal court and sentenced by the bishop was the

and divorce. It was shown that he had been
divorced from his first wife in Hartford, Conn.,,
on April IL, 1882, upon a charge of desertion,
and that on November I, of the same year, he
married again, the first wife being then living.
