A Murderer Whose Deed Kept His Father
from the Senate.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Feb. 2.-Fortune
once more proved kind to Kenneth Porter,
of Paris, Tenn, who has figured in as
many murderous ARRAYS as any man of his
age in Tennessee. This time he has been
acquitted of the charge of murder in the
killing of Will Edmunds, his brother in
law. Porter is the third son of ex-Gov.
James ID. Porter. Edmunds was equally
we'll connected and about ns reckless us
young Porter. The trouble that finally re-
suited in the killing originated in n scandal
connecting the names of Kenneth Porter
and Edmunds' sister. whom he subseq
ly married. In u quarrel about this
time Edmunds shot and danger
ously wounded Porter. When Porter had
become convalescent he met Edmunds on
the street and a second encounter ensued,
in which Edmunda was killed. An hour
later Dudley Porter, brother st kenneth's s
aud a son-in-law of Gen. j. u. =. Atkins,
who was commissioner of India. Affairs
under Cleveland, was shot aud killed by u
young bank cashier named Alexander
White, with whom he quarrelled about the
killing Of Edmunds. White was tried and
acquitted. The conduct Of his sons blight

GAINED "A POINT.


The Contestants in the Davis VIII Case, In
Their Fight for Time.
BUTTE, Feb. Especial. IF the semi
official announcement that the supreme
court issued writ of mandamus against
Judge Mediation this morning is true, the
contestants in the Davis will case have
gained point. They commenced to fight
for time last week, but their motion for a
continuance was overruled by the court.
Nothing daunted hey began the attack in
another way, claiming that no jury commits.
sioners had been appointed BY Judge Mo
Hatton, and that Jury drawn without this
formality would be illegal and not the one
TO Try case Of such magnitude. They met
another rebuff from the lower court, but II
appears that the supreme court he's boen
more complaisant and hns aslred the Judge
to show cause why he did not appoint the
commissioners required by statute. Mean
while he is not to proceed with the trial Of
the case until this matter has been settled.
At the hour for adjourning court this after
noon the judge stated that he had received
no notice of such action on the part of the
supreme court but gave formal order con-
tinuiug the case until tomorrow. As the
hearing on the writ of mandam-
us will not be held until Wednes-
day the will can hardly come
up before the last of the week. Ghis news
will be exceedingly unwelcome to the twenty
witnesses who arrived to-day from Iowa.
They were on the train wrecked at Dillon
yesterday and are beginning to feel that
this is anything but a pleasure trip Col.
Ingersoll arrived in the city this afternoon,
but finding that the case has been post
poned passed on through to Helena.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 2.-Considerable
comment has been created in art circles
owing to cha reported sale of Miss Ada T..
Ballou's celebrated picture of Morning
This was the piece that was given national
notoriety few months ago, when the di-
rectors of the state fair at Sacramento re-
fused to allow it to be placed on exhibition
in the art gallery, claiming that it was too
obscene and suggestive. The picture has
just been sold to I. w. Stanford, brother
of Senator Leland Stanford, who is resi-
dent of Melbourne, Australia. Mr.. Stan.
ford is very wealthy, and is said to possess
the finest and most valuable art gallery in
Australia. The selling price of Miss
Ballou's famous painting is unknown, and
rumor places the figure too high to express
1t on paper.

Too Young TO BE Reper, MT.

A very amusing story is told about
a young clergyman who does not live
over hundred miles from here, who
had gone to supply the vacant pulpit
of church in certain village. He
was just out of the theological semi
nary. AMI had an extremely boyish APP
pearance A little before the hour the
new minister made his way almost un-
noticed into the pulpit, where he was
concealed by the reading desk in front
of him. But an old lady who sat close
on the right of the pulpit in considera-
ton of her deafness, was much con-
cerned to see boy in the place of the
expected clergyman. So she arose
very, softly, stepped on tip-toe to the
pulpit stairs, and beckoning with her
forefinger, whispered loudly, in coax
ing accents: "Come down, my boy
You mustn't sit there. That's the place
