"BABY BUNTING" ONCE MORE.
The New York Supreme Court Decides II
must Pay Miss Campbell S45,ooo.

New YORK, Jan. 2S.-Charles Al
buckle, the coffee millionaire, who ap-
peared as "Baby Bunting" IN the fa-
NOUS breach of promise suit in which
.'Bunnie," otherwise Miss Clara Camp
bell, recovered $4,000 damages from
him, is about to build the biggest fiat in
Brooklyn at Columbia Heights and
Orange street. 1t will cost 1915, 900.
The general term of the Supreme court
has decided on appeal that Mr.. Ar
buckle must pay up the S45, 900 to Miss
Campbell. Judge Macomber writes
the opinion and Judge Brady concurs
Presiding Justice Van Brunt dissents.
Judge Macomber maks some interesting
remarks. There is no doubt, be says,
that the millionaire proposed and was
accepted and the breach of contract is
satisfactorily proven. If he intended
to marry her at all after June 4, 1888,
it was incumbent on him to name the
day. It was Ri ght to let the jury de-
eide whether Arbuckle's letter o.
November 4, 1888, contained dishon-
orable proposal, or was g mere piece OF
valgarity.

A DEBTORS TRICK.
An Unmarried Man Marries in Order to
Claim a Homestead.
Especial to News and Courier. |

W NEWS duu T..
SPARTANBURG, Jan. 30.-A move
question, and amusing in some of its
details, has been sprung here. Two ol
our lawyers had a claim against a Ger.
tain unmarried defendant. Desiring to
make their money they got judgment
and advertised his property for sale.
The defendant. began to skirmish
around to see if there was no: some way
of saving himself. With the assistance
ofable counsel he concluded to marry,
and to take unto himself q family that
would need the aid. and comforts of a
homestead. He left his attorney last
Friday, and before Saturday night
dark the sheriff received notice from
him that he would claim homestead,
and he asked that he send out and
have it laid off for him, inasmuch as he
was not willing to see his wife and
children placed in condition of want
and suffering. It'll tolerably evident
that he must have hitched on to a
buxom widow who had made a good
start in the family business, as he
speaks of his children. The plaintiffs
attorneys have given notice to the
other side that they will apply to the
Court to set aside the marriage as
illegal, having been. contracted to
hinder, delay and defraud the creditors
out of their just and lawful claims.

His Ship Came Tn.
TCharleston World. I


The Charleston public will, doubtless,
by stretch of the mem ory, recollect a
German of pleasant face and manner,
who was wont to peddle peanuts by
day and hot sausages by night through
the streets. His name was Oscar Red
Itch, and he had stand at the corner
of King and Market streets. 1t appears
from the following item, clipped from
the Admission, Ala, Times, that he is
quite in luck.
GA Times reporter, while standing at
the counter Of a prominent dry goods
store yesterday, was surprised to hear
the merchant request Noble street
peanut vender to settle a small account
due him, saying he was very much in
need of this money, whereupon the
peanut stand man asked the merchant
if he could cash small check. He said
he could. The peanut vender soon pro-
duced from his pockets letters of credit
for 97,S75 marks and some pfennig
issued by the German government.
This amount is a handsome little for
tune of $4,000, and was the pro rata
share of an estate now being settled up
in Saxony. The paralyzed merchant
congratulated the man upon his good
fortune, and with many apologies
graciously bowed him out Of the store
and asked him to call and settle at his
convenience.
Fifteen minutes later. while the
happy man was parching peanuts at
his roaster, he was approached by a
prominent real estate man who tried to
sell him a house. The only satisfaction
the real estate man could obtain from
the happy Teuton was cordial invita-
ton to Charleston, his future home,
where he says he intends to do busi-
ness, and can live comfortably under
his vine and fig tree, drink his beer and
be happy. .
The gentleman who has become 80
suddenly rich is Mr.. Oscar Redli,h."
Redlich left Charleston about year
ago. He had not been here very long
time, but it appears that he was we'll
pleased with what he saw. 1t is also
said by some of his acquaintance that
he used to boast sometimes that he had
property in Germany, but it was re-
garded as merely an idle boast.
SOME OF HIS UPS AND DOWNS.

gained so great notoriety by the sudden
acquisition of a fortune, has returned to

FARM MORTGAGES IN ILLINOIS.
How Much Corn Is Needed to pay the An.
aual Interest.
[Chicago Herald. !

The Sta Bureau report Of mortgages
in Illinois gives the amount of annual
interest on the farm loans as So, S3s, ,426.
S10,OO0,0O0. At Is cents per bushel,
which is near the average present
prices of corn at the railway stations
in the State, to pay this amount of
money will require 100000 bushels.
A crib eight feet wide by ten feet high
and thirty-two feet long is estimated
to hold scant thousand bushels Of ear
corn. It is safe to assume that crib
one-half rod (eight and quarter feet),
and two rods (thirty-three) feet long
will hold 1000 bushels. At this it will
take to hold this 100000 bushels of
corn an ordinary crib ten feet high-and
$50 miles in length, quite conspicu-
Gus and by no means trifing affair even
if fast mail train can spin by it in
five hours. 1t is the distance from
Chicago to Alton. Two hundred and
fifty miles in length by one-half rod in
width is $50 acres. The legal fence in
Illinois is four and one-half feet high.
This pile ofcorn, therefore, will cover
500 acres, or three quarter section farms
and an cut lot Of twenty acres besides
to depth Of its fences and a fence
board more. Of loads of twenty-five
bushels it will require 100000.
The public mind just now is so much
accustomed to the mention of millions
of dollars that it has become inert to
their significance, and after the infor-
nation given by this report is acquired,
it is still to be a task to extract and
fully comprehend all its meaning. 1t
is plain, however, that interest on farm
mortgages must be paid with farm
produce, etc., else the farmers are not
meeting their obligations, and in the
ease of those in Illinois there can be no
fairer way of measuring the payment
than by corn in the crib, which is
cash. So measured its significance
should be obvious to the dullest COM
plehension, and once it is compre-
hended the task imposed upon the
labor of the State comes in sight.
While realizing its magnitude it must
be held in mind that it is ccntribu-
ton which calls for nothing in return.
So far as it is owing outside ofthe State,
and in the nature of things the greater
part of it doubtless is, it brings nothing
back. 1t goes to square an account
and helps to effect that favorable bal
ance of trade" larger exports than i'm
ports, which so delights our Republi-
can brethren, like Mr.. Allerton for in
stance. Nevertheless Illinois is left
pooer, not richer. by it all.

The Height of Adam and Eve.
ISt. Louis Republic.

Mr.. Henricon, a member of the
French Academy of Science, published
a work in the year IT'S, large part OF
which was given up to the past and
present conditions of the human fami-
ly. In the course of his arguments he
proves, to his own satisfaction at least,
that we have gradually degenerated
from colossal specimens of flesh and
sinew to almost microscopic specks in
comparison. The dignified position OF
the learned Henricon demands for his
views all due respect, but who of the
present generation could be induced to
believe that Adam, the first landlord
of creation, was l23 feet and 9 inches
high? Yet, in the course ofhis reason
ing, he proves this in satisfactory way
to himself and his colleagues. "Eve;;"
says this learned NJ. D., "was a splen-
did helpmeet for her giant husband,
but was not nearly so tall, being but lis
feet, s inches and lines"

fered most from poverty and worked
hardest to keep his wife and baby from
starvation. Mr.. Redlich arrived yes
.terday, and at once sought his old
friends in the city, with whom he spent
an evening worthy of a reunion under
such pleasant circumstances.
To a World reporter who met him he
said that he preferred Charleston to any
of the cities he had lived in. He arrived
here in July, 1887, with his wife and
baby, and S240 in his pocket. He had
been keeping bar in Macon, Ga, and
failed utterly. He came to this city
when business was dull, and everybody
discouraged him, but he thought of his
family and determined to do some
thing. He picked up dodger on the
street which announced the fact that
newspaper was to be started in this
city. He went to the proprietor and
told him that he felt competent to hold
position on the staff, but would only
apply for the position of carrier, and it
was given him. He had one Of the
largest routes in the city, land when the
paper was first started it had a very
fair circulation. After delivering his
papers he sold sausages on the streets,
and in one way and another kept the
wolf from the door.
He left this city in December and
went direct to Europe, where he had
property in litigation. He knew that
he would recover large amount in
few years at least, and often spoke of it.
He had also, while in this city, a piece
of property in Macon which he would
not sell. His father was very wealthy
man, and it is from him that the inheri-
tance came.
Mr.. Redlieh is gentleman of pleas
ant manners and converses we'll. The
fact that he is an educated man is quite
apparent. His wife and children are
still in Macon, but his household goods
have all been shipped to Charleston,
and he will 60 into business here as
soon as he finds an opening. He has
at present something over S25,O0O and
there is more to follow.
Both Mr.. Redlick and his wife are
fond of Charleston and anxious to get |
settled down here.

and culture of my premium acre of cot.
ton, I will give you full details of same,
broke the land first time early in
January with what we call half shovels
and subsoiled in each furrow with two
horse subsoil plow. Broke the land
again before putting in guano with the
same kind of plow. I laid off my rows
Il feet apart, run in 100 pounds Cosy
plum Guano and subsoiled in this fur
row, thus mixing the guano. with the
soil. Put two furrows on the guano
with twister plows, subsoiling in each
of the furrows and then plowed out
1niddles and planted on the 18th of
April. used double footed plow the
first working with very narrow plow
on front foot and plow just large
enough to fill up the furrow Of the
front plow on the rear foot. Tried to
work as often as every ten days, using
small shovel plow with heel sweeps,
using little larger sweep every time.
The third time 7 worked my cotton I
run around the cotton first then put in
400 pounds more of the guano and
covered this by plowing out middles
thoroughly. I gave the crop five good
workings and laid by about the 9th of
July. I used the Peterkin seed on this
acre, but T am free to confess that T am
partial to the Jones Improved seed.
think it equally as productive or pro-
life. While the yield is not so great
from the seed T think it will make as
much cotton to the acre. I have no
seed for sale. I have been improving
my seed for six years, but I had my
seed destroyed by fire last fall. In con-
nection with this answer to inquiry, I
will just state some of my experience in
cotton raising. never plant large
crops but my aim Is always never to
plant an acre in cotton that I can't
realize bale of cotton from same.
During the year 1887, I planted a one
horse crop, hired ME two hands paid
them $1,000 each to help me through
crop. These two boys made me %
bales cotton, IS bushels of corn without
any additional help. Ifany farmer in
upper Carolina can beat this I would
like to hear from them through your
asE RaRsr .d5s bays tEIed f2ge Of Eah6ish h s Epri
good. The Furrnan Formula is splen-
did fertilizer for cotton. You will see
in the preparation of my acre I did a
great deal ofsubsoiling. The character
of the land is such that think it very
essential. It is dark, red land with stiff
clay subsoil. The land has been grow
ing clover, and is in high state of culti-
walton. If the farmers will enrich their
land and get it so they can grow clover,
they soon will have land that will bring
them bale and half or two bales to
the acre. Anything will grow after
clover. If this statement is worth any
thing To you or your paper you can use
it, but I will say am not in the habit
of writing for papers on farming, or
anything else. Yours very truly,
J. P. GOODWIN.

Beauty of American Women's Feet.
GParis Guide de la Mode.

Paris Guide de la Mode.
American women have made Paris
their second home for so long that there
is little to be said about their demeanor
here. They are great favorites with
dressmakers, and especially admired
for their little feet. The French shoe
makers say that they shave down the
lasts of even the Spanish women to fit
the beautiful American foot. A well
arched foot looks better in a boot than
in a shoe, and it is said to see foot
crunpled up in tight slipper and a
too high heel, a perfect piece Of Chi
nese defornlity. To do Americans JUS
tice, they do not have to squeeze their
feet to make them look small, and the
only advice to give them is to go to
England for their walking shoes and
to learn to walk more.

THE RICHMOND TERMINAL.
Suing the Great Syndicate to Make it Give
up its Charter.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph ]
The suit to compel the Richmond
Terminal to relinquish its charter will
be watched with peculiar interest by a
number of Philadelphia capitalists.
Samuel Dickson, who represents
these gentlemen, is very sanguine, and
he declares that he will win the suit.
The Richmond Terminal has threaten
ed to destroy the Norfolk and Western,
and the recent suit of the minority
stockholders of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia to prevent the
company from ratifying the lease to the
Richmond Terminal was the outcome
of the contention. The minority
stockholders won, and the Richmond
Terminal is now efectually enjoined
from diverting the traffic of the East
Tennessee Road.
The Richmond and West Point Ter
pany, which may lose its charter, was
incorporated by the Virginia Legjsla-
ture in 1880, with authority to acquire
stocks and bonds of railroad COM
panies in the States of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and
other States. It was organized in the
interest of the Richmond and Danville
Railroad by capitalists concerned in
the latter for the purpose of acquiring
control of railroads not directly con-
nected with the Richmond and Dan
vile, which was prevented by charter
from acquiring any such. Subsequent
amendmentsa authorized it to increase
its capital stock indefinitely.
1t at present controls 4,697 miles of
railroad and water lines; has capital
stock of S45, 100000 and large amount
Of funded debt. Among the more i'm
portant lines controlled are the Rich
mond and Danville, the Virginia Mid
land, the Charlotte, Columbia and Au-
gusta, the Columbia and Greenville,
the Western North Carolina, the East
Tennessee. Virginia and Georgia, and
the Georgia Pacific Railroads. <.
Since the brokers refused to purchase
the bonds OF the Georgia Central Fail
road, the Richmond Terminal mas
used every effort to raise money to pay
for the road. 1t is now rumored that
the directors contemplate increasing
the capital stock s1O,0O0.0O0, and in
that way paying for the property.
