A MILLIoNAIRE's DUAL LIFE.
Rtch Greenbaeker Field Left a Skele.
ton I'm the Family Closet.

A Detroit special 10 the New York World
says that the widow of the late greenbacker,
Moses W. Field, who was for several wears in
Congress and was wei known in Washington.
and Mrs. Alice Woodbridge. his daughter. have
filed bill in chaucery against Mrs. Mary Cor
ing and her husband. John Goring. Field
sometimes appeared at the theater with the
Gorings, and there have been some whispers
of scandal about him and them. The bill
filed by the widow and daughter AYERS
that the Gorings hold Mr.. Fields ncte for
$4,000; that they also hold a check ON
the American Exchange bank. of this CITY. for
Sl,2lO; an assignment of a ten thousand dollar
policy IN the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insur-
ance company upon the life of Mr.. Field and
several other notes and obligations OF at pres
ent unknown amounts. The bill charges that
Mary Oorlng. 10y various arts, artltices and de-
wees, had exercised great control over Mr.
1leld ana That these notes and obligatians were
obtained by her through undue influence The
checks and notes were presented by the Cor
Iilgs TO the banks, but payment was refused.
Then the Gorings eDdeavored TO negotiate the
10000 note. The court granted an Injunction
restraining them from disposing of the ebliga-
uons until the hearing of the bill on its merits
The same complainants have also filed
announcer plll IN chancery alleging that the Cor
lngs obtained the title TO certain parcels of real
estate owned by Mr.. Field by the same means
used 10 obtain the obligations noted in the first
bill. The widow and daughter saw that the
property was obtained without any considera-
ton whatever, and through undue improper
and unreasonable influences and fraudulent
practices and devices exercised over Mr..
Field. The attorney for the Field estate has
tr0k OF twenty conyeyances made directly or
indirectly to Mrs. Goring. The property
aggregates in value about $4,000. This Is ex-
elusive Of the notes and checks held by the
Gorlngs. The acquaintance between Field
and Mrs. Goring dates back five years The
lady Is about forty-five years old. Her home
on Montcalm street is furnished in fine style
andsthe entire family live IN great luxury
The will of Mr.. Field was filed for probate
this afternoon, leaving his entire estate 10 the
widow (barring, of course, what he had given
away or Sold, and after her death to the chill
dren The estate is worth about Il. OOO.OOO A
peculiar clause of the Will says: I'm regard TO
our dear children, the best gift | can confer
upon them is the great worth of a mothers
love, the devotion. the consideration. the svm-
patty, the tenderness of a gentle woman. a
mother loving God and illustrating her Chris
uanity by her deeds, her kindness to her
neighbors and devotion TO charitable work"
The revelations of these suits have astonished
the community, for they mean that Mr.. Field
lived double live

The Brookhaven leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1883-1891, 1889-11-21
FallaciOuS.

A number of journals in this State,
in referring to the Convention issue
which is receiving so much considera-
ton just now, from press and people,
seem to think that that subject had
never been discussed or heard of until
Senators George and Walthall an
nOunced their views, and that they
were the ones who raised the issue in
the State.
While tits doubtless true, that the
pro and anti Convention advocates
hail with pleasure, and cordially well
come to their respective lists, such
able and valued champions as the dis
tinguished Senators, yet it is very far
from true that those gentlemen orig
mated this issue, or respectively
organized its advocates and oppO-
nents.
Two years ago, Legislature fresh
from the people ,conversant with their
needs and wishes, declared in clear,
emphatic, unmistakable tones, by
Il vote of two to one, in favor of ac-
cording the people of the State the
humble privilege of expressing them
selves at the polls, either in favor of
or against the proposition. And yet,
an imperious Governor, "dressed in a
little brief authority" with a power
which was justly denOminated at the
time "mOre autocratic than that of the
Car of Russia" by stroke of
his pen, denied the right to those
whose creature and servant he is.
The most wide spread indignation
was evoked at the time by this per-
version and misuse of power, and the
sentiment favorable to Constitution
has rapidly grown from that day to
the present. County Conventions
have passed resolutions favOring it.
1t was freely discussed during the
State campaigns; and the most prOmi-
nent candidates for Governor, Stone,
Cameron, Barksdale and Featherston
were openly and avowedly commit
ted to it.
Two sessions of the State Alliance,
representing a membership of over
fifty thousand white farmer and DEM
Ocratic voters of Mississippi have as
sembled in this city and pronounced
in favor of it, without one dissenting
voice.
The people of Mississippi have long
since formed their opinions on this
subject, and in divers ways have CIV
en- expression to them. 1t is they
who have inaugurated and led this
reform; and it is only since the late
State Convention met and asked that
it be made an issue in the selection
of representatives, that the politicians
and statesmen have begun to public
ly place themselves ON record.
For once, the people are leading,
and the politicians are being forced

The Brookhaven leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1883-1891, 1889-11-21

Our clever but timOrous anti-consti-
tutiOnal convention friends remind us
of the fellows who ever and anon arc
declaring that all the id niggers
ought to be run out of the State; but
when a few darkeys begin to emf
CRATE to Kansas or somewhere else,
raise great hue and cry, say Missis-
sippi is being robbed of her only la
Dor, go into panegyrics over Sambo's
many redeeming virtues, and swear
the State couldn't get along without
him.
The anti convention crowd have
made no end of hGwling over the race
problem and various other difficulties
inseparable from the centralizing Con-
stitutiOn left us as a miserable herit-
age by Republican aliens; but as soon
as the only effectual method of deal
ing with these ills-a Constitutional
Convention-is proposed, they go in
to rhapsodies over the merits and
beauties of the old carpet-bag Consti-
tuition and pass from that into fit
of delirium tremens and cOnjure up
all sorts of hob COLLINS and dire ca
lamities, as though the whole State
were about to he converted into a
veritable witches broth.
