OLD TIMES RECALLED.

Col. Kings Property Il Restored to Him.
The Supreme Court Of Tennessee has
rendered decision in one of the most
sensational cases ever tried In this cOun-
try, and In which murder played an i'm
IpOrtant part 1t was from the chancery
docket, and was that Of Fl. Clay King vs..
Mary L. Pillow. King Is the author Of
"king's Digest of Tennessee" and has .
reputation throughout the South for
brilliancy as o lawyer and courage as
lsoldier. He fitted out q company of cav
Ealry for the Confederates during the
fwar, mounting his men on horses bred
| by himself In Kentucky. He fought his
way to the command of regiment and
"Clay Kings Tigers" made name as the
| most desperate regiment Of cavalry in
the West not even excepting Forests
troopers. King is now in jail on charge
tof murder. Mary Z. Pillow is the
widow OF General Gideon J. Pillow,
OF Mexican war and civil war fame,
and woman OF rare qualities
Of mind and person. She and King
formed liaison about ten years ago,
and occupied the King manor house,
about forty miles from Memphis The
partnership was alleged to be . purely
business affair, but Mrs. Grandy said
sotherwise. 1t was an open secret that
King was very much in love with Mrs
Pillow, and about three years ago he liled
la bill in chancery asking the court to
/ divorce him from his own wife, stating
| as a reason that he wanted to marry
Mrs. Pillow. The bill never saw the
| light at that time, for King withdrew 1t
before the newspapers got hold OF It.
A short time ater Mrs. Pillow fled
deeds from Colonel King giving her all
Of his rrorerty-plantation in Arkan-
sas and real estate in Memphis--in con-
federation OF his having home under
her roof during his Ii Q. Still there was
no scandal, but finally the fair widow

Gerry ieciting that she had swindled him
out OF his estate The widow came back
charging him with robhing her and try

Responded with an IN VIZ containing
| Q stack OF Io,e letters from
Mrs Pillow to himself The case
was tried last fall, and King won it.
The affair was supposed to be settled
but It was not, for on the 22d day OF last
March King met Mrs. Pillows attorney,
David II. Pos.en, on Main street and shot
him without word Of warning. Postcn
died the next day. On account OF the
prominence Of the murderer and hts
victim this tragedy created intense ex-
element. POsten was very popular
with brother lawyers and King is de-
cldrdly unpopular, consequently he has
found II nece 'sary employ nonresident
lawyers to assist in defending him.
The Sup eme Court has now rendered
q decision In the suit Of King Va Pillow,
affirming the (hancellor's decroA This
puts King In . better shape financially
to fight for his life In the Criminal Court
than he would otherwise have been. but

Burnetl while Drunk.

One of the most terrible accidents oc-
Cured at Tylerstown, Pa, that has hap
pened In this county for years. The house
of Henry Phillips caught fire and before the
inmates could be gotten out they were all
burned to death. The victims are: George
T. Turner, Henry Phillips, Mrs. Henry Phil
lips. Clinton Clyde. The family and those
boarding in the house had been drinking
until q late hour and retired to their beds.
The suppositi0n In regard to the fire Is that
Turner had left Q basket on the stove and
the sparks from it set the carpet on IRE.
The coroner's verdict was that ''the victims
came to their death by the burning of Henry
Phillips house, caused by the excessive use
of Intoxicating liquors"

An attempt Of White Moon, the

ing the last day OF the trial Of Plenty
Horses, caused great excitement among
the Indians. 1t seems that White Moon
has been brooding for the past
two years over the attempt Of
the defense to impeach his testimony
upon the statement claimed to have
been made by him and denied during the
trial that he had shot twice at Plenty
Horses the day OF the murder. Some
one had told him that there was =
severe penalty for perjury. and, believ-
ing that he was liable to be arrested, he
retired to his room In the hotel, having
purchased . new jacknife. He inserted

Its full length and few moments after

ing as = matter Of course.
But we are drifting Wild Of what
We started to say. Tho Tribune has
already mentioned tbs fact that
business women, typewriter&, sales-
girls, Cashiers, aud 20 forth. will be.
gin wearing trousers on the 6rst Of
next June. This has been settled BY
the Executive Board Of tho Women's
National Council, and il 10 ssiA that
many Of tho youag ladies have even
now begun to select materials and
speculate As to patterns. An idea
instantly occurs to any one who has
studied tue subject It IL this: We
have just shown that all women in
their secret hearts, Excerpt the unfcr.
tu"~te lady spoken Of i" the preo. ding
paragraph, WHO was the victim 81 .
misconception aud who could no
doubt be set right that al women
will certainly adopt trousers in lees
than year, will it not !oIluw that al
women will shortly DO wearing
trousers? 1t seems to W clear.
| The business women Of the country
are, we take il, the bssin,<st, the
pr~tt'est aud most progressive Of their
sex, and it would be only natural that
the other women should follow them
in the matter of dress. In the case
of men we find no particular d,.t,nc-
ton between the dress of . business
man and. let US say, that of the ol-s-
syman, the professor or the newspaper
man. All wear trousrrs. We suspect
+, that by year from the first Of Au
gust. or by October l, 1892, ut the
| outside, trousers will be universally
worn by the women Of this country.

and we trust that We are now o.
heartily IN favor of the change ~ il
Is possible to be. Indeed, SO favor
ably are we impressed with the ide.
that did the change rest with US, We
should be- inclined to decree that il
take place immediately Instead OF
Icing delayed . twelvemonth. Blu,

withdraw her mistaken opposition

New York Tribune.l
Justly or unj Justly women have long
been the victims Of suspicion on the
part OF men of having q secret desire
to adopt the masculine trousers as
part Of their costume. Perhaps the
suspicion has been unjust; certainly
one thing in favor of view of it is that
they have never adopted trousers, .
distinguishing characteristic of the
sex being that it usually does what It
has desire to do. On the other hand,
woman has taken up every other
article Of mans attire except trousers,
aud made it m.re or less her own. SO
may it not be only natural that she
should long for trousers as well? Be-
sides, there are few men who have
not heard vague, underlined rumors
that more than one woman, in the
utmost privacy of her chamber. while
the masculine portion of tho house,
hold has been absent down town, has
made more or less successful experts
men,s with the trousers Of her brother
or her husband. These furtive trials,
when conducted with intelligence aud
q right understanding Of the nature
and limitations of trousers, have usu
ally, We believe, been satisfactory to
thu women making them.

telligence, having in mind cases of =
