ERrY OF THE PARENTS.
This afternoon the Court lin General Term
took up the case of Milly Thomas against VIM.
T. Hoffman. The complainant. colored
woman. in a suit in ejectment recovered an
undivided half of certain property and filed a
bill for partition and for an accounting.
Shortly afterward she died. and her children
1.-TWO Queens and two Thomases) filed
bill of reyivor The defendant claims
that the compliments are not the heirs
at law and not entitled to the property
It was proved that Milly Thomas
was a slave, in Charles county. Nd. until
about 1862; that she lived prior to 1852 with
Chas. Queen, who died about that time. she
having had two children by him. and then with
Jno. Thomas, having two other children. and
Thomas left in the early days of the war and
has not been since heard from. The defend
ant by Messrs. A. A. Birney and f. A. New
man. denies that evidence of cohabitation by
slaves who did not live together after emanci-
patton, or in the District. establishes a lawful
marriage comforting Unbeatable blood. 1t has
been held here that parties who came to the
District and lived as free people i'm the
relation of husband and wife for some
time was evidence of actual legal mar
rige, but there is no such proof in this
case. The defendant claims that in Maryland
a ceremony is necessary for a valid union, and
that the act of February 6, 1879, providing for
legitimatizing the issue Of colored persons il
unconstitutional, as it denies to white children
the equal protection of the laws. The defend
ant submits that if entitled 10 decree they will
be entitled only from the time of their mothers

NEW ORLEANS, LA jan. S.-About
midnight last night Harry L. Bdwards,-s
lawyer Of this city, shot aid fatally
wounded DR.. L. L. Kuyerkenden and then
shot his wife, Mrs. Nina Edwards, at s
boarding house on Julia street. Mr.. and
Mrs. Edwards, who have been married
i've years, have lived on bad terms for
some time past in consequence Of his
jealousy, and have frequently separated.
A few days ago she left her husband and
went with her little boy 10 her
sisters boarding house. Last
night her sisters, both of
whom are young ladies, were entertaining
two gentlemen, DR.. L L Kuyerkendall OF
BrsZJs, Tex, and DIR. L Jordan, when
notice was given by servant that Ed
wards was walking up and down in front
of the house in an excited manner. The
young ladies, fearful Of the result, warned
their friends to leave, and just as they
opened the door for them 70 Start Edwards
walked in, grasped KuyerkendAll by the
throat and, placing revolver against his
stomach, fired three times, He then opened
ire on Mrs. Edwards, who fed to the end
OF the hall, one of the balls striking her
in the breast, going through the shoulder
and entering the lung. After the shoot
ing he ran from the mousse and made good
his escape, but this morning surrendered
to the police. DR.. Kuyerkendal's wounds
were found to be in the abdomen and
pronounced fatal. Mrs. Edwards
also is probably fatally wounded.
Kuyerkendall was but thirty ears
of age and student of the Tulane y ia
yersity. Mrs. Edwards although ba rely
thirty has been three times married. She
separated from her first husband, was
left widow by the second and married
Edwards only about five years sgo. The
latter refuses to explain the reason OF his
deed, but clsims that he will be able TO
prove that ne was justified in it.

BLOOMS BIG DEAE.
he Wins $50 900 In a Bay-s9OO 900 Mads
without Work.

"HnOuE "OrRs
New York Star.
According TO the best information Leo
pold Bloom raked in about $3.50 600 profit
on the grain and provisions which he sold
out Wednesday and Thursday. The
amount has been stated in the reports
around the Board Of Trade as very much
larger, but these figures are. probably
correct. This is 8 handsome winning,
and the largest Bloom ever made In
single deal. The deal, too, was sensa-
tioDal one. In it he mad abandoned all his
usual methods. Hitherto he has been
known as SPECTATOR who possessed a
wonderful power of reading the beginning
of u great popular movement in the msr-
ket and moving with the tide. II the
whole country, as it occasionally does,
took hold Of the market and pushed il
up, Bloom was always found In
the van. He was never known
as fighter Of great speculative force, IS
the other leaders are. But on this occs-
sion he fought the entire packing inter
est. He began buying provisions when
they were 81 to $3.50 cheaper, and bought
all the packers were willing to sell him
Their bear talk only spurred him to fresh
purchases. He helped all along his oper-
atoms in provisions by clever manipula-
tion in corn. His success is one of the
few instances on record of q "rank out
slider" opposing and defeating the pack
ers.
Bloom bears his congratulations very
mildly. He is chubby faced, fat little
chap, with bare suggestion of side
wniskers, and about thirty-three years
old. He Is worth $500, 600 or $500, 900,
every dollar made in speculation. He has
been on the board over twenty years. His
first good "strike" was made on a call
which he bought the night before the
declaration of wsr made by France
against Germany. This neIted him in the
wild advance of the next few days about
$40 600. He is nothing Of reader like
Ream or Jones, nor such persistent adj
hereDt to his opinion as Cndshy, but
when the market goes his way 10 other
trader on the board shows half she nerve
he displays In doubling up" His losses
are always small-he runs quickly; but
his winnings are liable to be very big
ones. They say OF him that when he loses
every one hears of it, but when he makes
profit he says nothing. He has been
heard to say many times that ne WIS
through with the Board of Trade and was
going to quit it that very day. But the
ne xt morning saw him around IS usual.
