How Rae Iried to Get Rid OF HIS
Wife.
MEMPHIS, TENN. Aug. 15.-Another
and perhaps next to the last chapter 10
the remarkable case of Colonel II. Clay
King vs. MrP. Mary T.. Pillow, the widow
OF Gen. Gideon Pillow, will be submitted
to the public within the next day or two.
For several days past the attorneys on
both sides have been collecting the evil
iencs to substantiate their bills, cross
bills and answers, and the results ore
now in course of arrangement for filing
in the chancery court. The principal
witnesses examined were Colonel King,
Mrs, Pillow and Mr.. Lee Thornton.
TIE most sensational feature of the
paper will be found In the declarations
of Col. King relative to the intensity Of
his passion, past and present, for Mrs.
Pillow. It began, he says, the moment
his eyes first fell upon her and has not
since waned. In taking Mrs. Pillow and
her family into his home, his sole idea
was to take such care of her and the
children as was benetiting to those he in
tended making his immediate family
whenever honorable and complete separe-
tion from his other family ties could be
had. His efforts TO obtain this relief, he
said, extended to the limit In every
known legitimate direction. He had
himself gone to Mrs. King and made a
clean breast Of his absorbing passion Cor
Mrs. Pillow and the absence of anything
in the slightest degree resembling love
for her.
~ don't love you," the colonel said to
his wife, ''nor do love our children be-
cause they are yours.n
He then importuned his detested wife,
| with whom he had NOT lived for years, 20
acceie to his desire that he might pass
the few remaining years of his life with
the woman he madly loved. As further
! inducement he reminded his outraged
and resolute wife and mother Of his si1
children that he had ssttled 100000
worth OF property upon her, and she
should not stand in the way of peace
and happiness in his declining
years. This failing, he sent his children
to interoede for him, but it was of nc
avail. In Chicago he consulted with ex-
pelt divorce lawyers, but obtained no ray

James MuiIigan Fatally stabbed in
the Neck-Edward Browns Hand
Nearly Severed.
New YoRK, Aug. l7-There was deadly
encounter with knives on the sidewalk In
front OF Belle Angles house. No. 100 west
Thlrty-second street, at O'Clock this
morning in which Edward Brown stabbed
James Mulligan In the neck. Mulligan
used his knife also and nearly severed
Browns right hand.
Mulligan's injuries are expected to result
In his death.
About $50 o'clock he walked Into Madame
Angles house unannounced. Brown
wanted beer. but the madame refused 10
serve him. She walked away from him.
Brown hit her In the back with bis fist.
He then reached around to his hip-poeket
and pulled long, keen-edged knife, see-
Ing which the girls shrieked a warning.
Belle Angle weighs about 800 pounds but
she ran. She dashed out of the parlor and
fioundered down stairs to the basement.
Then she dashed on to the area gate, where
she stood painting and pulling.
On the sidewalk she met Mulligan and
appealed TO him for protection. He fol-
lowed the madame into the house and up
to the parlor where Brown was still shout
Ing for beer.
Mulligan, after few words, grappled
with Brown and they struggled 10 the front
hall door, which the madame promptly
opened and both men scrambled down the
steps to the street.
Several blows passed between them and
then Brown drew his long, keen knife.
Mulligan produced one almost as quickly.
For a moment both blades flashed In the
gasllght as they were held aloit. Browns
knife struck Mulligan's neck on the left
side. Mnlligan struck next and Brown
caught the full force OF the knife in his
right wrist.
Bsveral lunges were made by the des-
perate men, but they succeeded only In
cutting each others clothes to ribbons.
Both men were taken TO the hospital
| Tho police arrested Belle Angle and hei
girls and had them down TO Jefferson
Market court as witnesses this morning,
but a certificate came from the hospital
saying that neither OF the men could ap-
| pear In court to-day.

the engineer Of the drill engine, fearing

street had barely time to shut down the
gates when the runaway car Numbered
over the crossing.
As the car rushed by the station some
one cried that the dTawbridRe over the
PHssaio was open. This proved false and
the car whirled over the bridge into bar
rison with the drill engine In hot pursuit.
The engineer of the drill knew full well

Plan. for ,ho wnr-.nip rcxn.,

WARRINGTON. Aug. l6. An advertise
ment issued by the navy department in
wiling proposals for furnishing about 66l
tons (2,2t0 pounds Of steel plates, 40
pounds per square foot, for the armor of
the battle. ship Texas, marks the end o. a
controversy that has been going on
within the department for some time.
The plans for the Texas were
purchased by Secretary Whitney in
England and we're given to Naval
Constructor Bolles at Portsmouth yard
TO execute. II was the belief in the bu-
reeu of construction and repair that the
Texas II built according to the plans
would not carry her full weight, eati.
mated at G, 800 tons at load water line,
but would sink so deep that her rate Of
speed would be seriously inter,ered with,
even if her gun-deok did not go be-
low water. This opinion was
shared by other officials in the
department also. But Constructor
Bolles was confident that the oaloula.
tions Of the English designer were Ger.
rect, and that she would 1oat on the level
he had marked out for water line. The
question whether or not tho Texas should
be built according to the plans furnished
has been under Iteration for some
time By Secretary Tracy. It was sug-
gested that the vessel be length
ened Is or 20 feet, thus increasing her
buoyancy, aud 1t was the opinion of
some OF the officials that this would be
done. But the publication of the adver-
tlsement is taken to mean, about the de.
partment, that Secretary Tracy has deter.
mined to have the plans which were
purchased by his predecessor carried ont.
The bids are to be opened October LIST,
aud the successful bidder will be re-
quired to deliver the plates at Ports
mouth nsvy-yard within from &c
to go days from that date. On the same
date, also, proposals will be opened Al
the department for furnishing the mo-
terisls to be used in constructing th'
monitor Amphitrite at Portsmouth navy
yard, for furnishing machines and
tools required by the bureau OF con
atruotion and repair at the navy-yards il
Brooklyn and Portsmouth.
