Mr. Dickinson Wins.

Several years ago the Court OF
Claims gave judgment for 100000 in
favor of Perez Dickinson, of Knoxville,
for cotton destroyed by Gen Burnside
during the war. Some years after,
Congress provided for the payment of
the Judgment Col. Woods, the attOr-
ney in the case, demanded and re-
ceived from the Treasury Department
Il draft for the full amount. The draft
was of course made payable toDickin-
son, but he refused to indorse it, as he
was afraid Woods would retain more
than he thought him entitled to.
Woods wanted $4,000, or one-fourth
of the entire amount, for his services.
Several attempts were made to settle
the case, but without success. Finally
Secretary R~rchild recalled the origi-
nal draft, and issued in its stead two
drafts, both payable to Dickinson, and
one Of them amounting to $4,000, to
Woods, and the other, for $4,000, to
Dickinson. The latter, however, re-
fused to indorse draft held by the at
torney, and declined to draw the
money on his own. In the meantime
Woods brought suit in Washington to
establish his right to lien on the
judgment, but the case was again
heard at the Treasury Department,
and on August 6 Acting Secretary
Bachelor decided to pay the entire
amount of the claim to Dickinson,
and to leave the question of attorneys
fees to be settled between the parties.
The drafts outstanding were accord
ingly recalled and a new one issued in
favor OF Mr.. Dickinson made out. Mr.,
Dickinson, throughout the whole OF
the shameful annoyance by the Wash
ington claim agent, has preserved the
quiet dignity Of an honest man, SO
natural to him, and thousands OF his
friends will rejoice to hear the result
of the unjust attempt made to deprive
him Of a large proportion OF the claim
allowed by Congress.

On Strictly ReligiOusly Principles.

A saloon keeper in wild Western
town was recently converted and be-
came member Of the church, but
continued at his busin ess, which he
proposed to run in proper manner.
One night a crowd OF cowboys congre.
gated in his place, and after filing up
they began to be very boisterous.
"Hold on, boys" said the saloonists,
"this is no place for such riotous con-
duct. You know | have experienced

"Oh, give us a slack on that chin

The religious craze among the ne
groes has broken out near Bessemer,
Ala. An old negro named Tobias
Jackson has turned up as Daniel, the
prophet. AS report goes, he induc-
ed three young negro men to enact the
roles of Shadrack, Meshack and Abed'
nego. He assured them that they
could walk through a fiery furnace as
in Nebuchadnezzar's time, and come
out without the smell Of fire on theil
garments. They tried it, and got into
furnace at Bessemer, but did moi
come out.

Confederate Veterans.

On the occasion of the distribution
Of the fund Of $4,000 for the relief OF
manned Confederate soldiers, which
was contributed by Mr.. W. B. Tate, a
large number of Confederate soldiers
were gathered together at Morristown,
Tenn, and they resolved to form a
Confederate Veterans Association of
Upper East Tennessee. A preliminary
organization was effected at the time,
and large number were enrolled as
members. OC. King, of Morristown,
was elected President of the Associa-
ton, and Judge ]. D. Rose, Secretary
and Treasurer.
A committee of eight members was
appointed by the association to apply
for a charter for the association and
organize regularly under the charter.
The charter has been obtained, and
on the Sth of August, 1889, the charter
members met at the office of Judge
Rose, in Morristown, and formally or
ganized the association by electing o.
G. King as President, Geo. P. Yoe, as
First Vice-President, Geo. w. Fol
som, Second Vice.President, and j. H.
McClister, Secretary and Treasurer.
Judge Rose declined reelection on
account of press OF business, believing
that the Office would demand more of
his time than he could spare, and re-
commended j. H. McClister for the
place.
The objects of the association are to
promote benevolence, bring about So
cial runions, and to gather and dis
seminate facts that may bear upon the
history of 1SG1-5.
All exConfederate soldiers who re.
sided in either the First or Second
Congressional Districts of Tennessee
in 1S61-5, and all who now reside or
may hereafter reside in either of said
districts, are eligible to membership
in the association upon furnishing the
secretary his name, postoffice ad-
dress, date of enlistment Company,
regiment. and rank, and age at the
time of enlistment, date and cause OF
discharge, il discharged at all, and, if
wounded, the time, place and nature
of the wound, and paying the fee OF
fifty cents to the secretary, to defray
the expenses Of the organization. No
other charges OF any kind will be made
1t is intended that, with the exception
Of the merely nominal sum of fifty
cents, the expenses of the organization
will be borne by voluntary contribu.
tion.
1t is the desire OF the promoters Of
the organization to have com
plete list or roster Of every confeder-
ate ,ldier in the first and second con
gressional districts of Tennessee, and
it is hoped that every such soldier will
take a personal pride in being enroll
ed on this roster. The first annual
reunion will be held in Morristown on
Thursday, the 18th day Of October
1889, at which time the members OF the
association will elect new board o.
directors to serve for one year. 1t il
desired, if possible, to have every con
federate soldier in the two districts
regularly enrolled before that time
and to have an old fashioned, rousinl
social gathering on that occasion.
All communication should be ad
dressed to j. H. McClister, secretary
&c, Morristown, Tenn.

SARAH ALTHEA HILL
SHARON,
Slaps the Face Of Justice Field, Of the

LATHRoP, CAL, Aug. 14.-Upon the
arrival of the Southern Overland train
here at 7;20 this morning United
States Supreme Judge Stephen j..
Field and Deputy United States Mar
shall David Nagle walked into the de-
pot dining-room for breakfast and sat
down side by side. Soon after Judge
David S. Terry and wife came in also.
They were proceeding to another table,
when Mrs Terry, evidently recogniz-
ing Judge Field, did not sit down, but
retired to the train for some unknown
purpose. Before she reached it, how
ever, and as soon as she left the din
ing-room, Judge Terry approached
Justice Field, and, STOPPING over him,
slapped his face. At this iuncture
Deputy Marshal Nagle arose from his
seat and

The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1889-08-22


Deputy Marshal Nagle arose from his
seat and
SHOT JUDGE TERRY
through the heart. AS he was falling
the Deputy Marshal shot again, but
missed him, the bullet going through
the floor. Both shots were fred in
very quick succession.
The Judge never uttered sound af-
ter being shot. He had hardly fallen,
when Mrs. Terry rushed to the side of
his body and threw herself upon it.
Then ensued a scene of the widest ex-
citement. The possibility of an en-
counter between Justice Field and
Judge Terry has been recognized ever
since the Imprisonment of Terry for
contempt OF court ten months ago,
owing to the known temper OF the
man who killed United States Senator
Broderick in the early days of Califor-
MIA.
David S. Terry was at one time Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of Cali
fornia, and had always been promi-
nent figure in the history of the State.
THE KILLING OF BRODERICK
caused at that time deep'personal're-
sentiment against Terry by portion
OF the people of the State which threat
ened to terminate his career in Cali
fornia, but he always had number OF
adherents, and remained in the State,
though he has only once or twice been
before the people for position. He
was married to Sarah Althea Hill, who
claimed to be the wife Of Senator
Sharon, while prosecuting her claim
against the Sharon estate. This
brought him into resentful attitude
toward Justice Field, who; last year,
rendered decision in the United
States Supreme Court in this city de-
nying her claim to be the wife Of Sen
ator Sharon. Mrs. Terry created a
sensation in court during the reading
OF the decision charging Justice Field
with being corrupt, and she refused tc
be quiet, Justice Field directing that
she be removed from court. When q
deputy attempted to carry out the or
der OF the court she became involved
in personal quarrel with that official
and Judge Terry interfered, drawing 8
dagger from his vest. He was dis
armed, and both Terry and his wife
were adjudged in contempt of cour
and committed to Jail.
