The commonwealth in the Fields
Adkins case closed its testimony at
Barboursyille last week with a dra-
matic scene by the widow OF Joseph
Eversole, daughter of Judge
Combs, whom Adkins aud Fields
are charged with having killed.
Col. Breckenridge, for the defense,
stated the case Of his clients to the
jury. Fields and Adkins both
swore to an alibi, and corroborated|
each other in the principal part Of
their evidence.
Fields was the first witness. Adj
kins was next placed on the stand,
but failed to corroborate the state
ment of Fields as to their where

Judge Combs was called. Both.
testified that theywerein Breathitt.

county that day, some 30 to BIS
miles from the scene Of the trag-
edy. The evidence 50 far has been
very conclusive as to Adkins guilt,
but the commonwealth has failed
to connect Fields in any direct way
with the killing 1T seems as if
most of the witnesses are afraid to-
divulge any more Of the matter
than they are compelled to do.
One witness for the common
wealth testified to having seen Ma
rion French, son Of B.. F. French,
in Hazard the morning that Judge
Combs was killed. The prosecu-
tion claimed that it would be able
to show that young French was
there to carry out a contract that
his father had made with FIELDS and
Adkins. 'FS
Andy Turner was the first witness
introduced by the commonwealth.
He stated that he saw Jesse Fields
some FIVE or six miles below Haz-
ard on the Sunday morning of the
killing. -,
Newt Barker, of Hazard, testified
Tint he saw Marion French, son of
b. r. French, the Saturday evening
before the killing, and also saw
him ID Hazard Sunday morning a
few moments after Judge Combs
was killed e..
Then Reuben Baker, who was at
the time iailer Of Perry county,
stated that he formed party to
pursue the persons Who had killed
Judge Combs, and was positive that
hesaw Jesse Fields about five miles
below Hazard on that morning,
and thought.at the time Fields was
wounded. 3. .@..@@ r.
Chester Eversole, the 10-year old
son of Joseph G. Eversole, testified
that on the morning his grand
father was killed ne was standing
in the door at the residence Of
Judge Josiah Combs, and saw his
grandfather shot, and also saw Joe
Adkins fire the fatal shot from be-
hind post in the garden :
After the prosecution closed its
principle evidence, Col. Breckin-
ridge moved that the court give
the jury peremptory Instructions
to aoqtlit Fields, but the motion
was overruled. -Barboursville cor

OH ruts and a dirty stream, which in a
drought became a mud swamp, has been
drained and graded and made into an at

is now the finest park of its kind in Con-
necticut. There was unexpected liberal
ity in providing the needed funds. At
the outset the membership fee was SIS.
Afterward it was reduced to 81. The
women held a fair. which netted about
$500. The amount received from mem

volunteered to pay an assessment Of

for walks and other improvements $2,-

Some Famous Riddles.

Guessing riddles has been a favorite
amusement with mankind from the
first syllable of recorded time" One
of the earliest of the scriptures contains
SamsOn'S riddle
Out of the eater came forth meat,
And out Of the strong came forth sweet
ness.
Nor could the young men or even the
elders guess ii, so they got Simpsons
wife 10 betray IL. And when they then
delivered him the answer his reply was

experience that many a husband since
has had to his cost.

for the answer is man, who in infancy

The questions that the Queen OF Sheba
put 10 Solomon were in the shape OF
riddles. In fact, the people OF oriental
countries have always been fond OF
these puzzles, and they may be found
in the Koran as well as in the Bible.
while Arabic and Persian literature is
full OF them. A Greek legend has it
that Homer. greatest OF bards. died OF
vexation because he could not solve a
riddle proposed 10 him by some fisher
man. Asking them what luck they
had. they answered What we caught
We threw away,what we could not catch
we kept" They meant fieas, while he
was thinking of fish all the time.
A more modern form of this same rid
die is He loves her; she has a repug-
nance to him and yet she tries to catch
him. and il she succeeds she viii be the

The poets have nearly all. at one
time or another. tried their hands at
riddles, though not many OF them have
chosen to acknowledge this sort of ham
diwork. Some years ago quite an in
teresting discussion arose over a riddle
ascribed to Alexander Pope, but which
nowhere appears in his collected writ

is unknown. Can some reader OF Notes

COLLARS AND CUFES.

Litigation Over the Attachment of Q
Haberdasher's Business.
CHICAGO, Jan. ga case OF great
Importance to manufacturers and retail
dealers has just been decided by United
States Judge Grosscup. A retail haber.
dasher OF the name OF Schuster was
closed up on an execution and the
United States marshal was instructed to
sell the goods at public sale. A local
firm OF Wholesale manufacturers of COL
lars and cuffs filed as intervsn0ra O petit
ton claiming that among the stock OF
the delinquent habsrdasher was large
consignment of collars and cuffs which
belonged to them. The intervenors
claimed that three years ago they made
a contract with Schuster to furnish him
with stock of their goods, retaining.
however, the proprietary interest. Schus-
ter paying them at the end Of each
the month. Counsel for the other cred
itors argued that any such contract was
clearly against public policy. a. 1t gave
the consignee an appearance OF owners
ship and enabled him to GET credit
that otherwise he could not obtain. The
argument proved weighty with the court,
for Judge Grosscup sustained his posi-
ton and dismissed the wholesaler bill
for want Of equity. This decision will
prove a special weight with manufac-
turers OF agricultural and musical in
struments, as it is an open secret that
retail dealers in these classes of goods
sell almost entirely on commission.

THIRTY THOUSAND CUT.
WHAT THE UNION PACIFIC RE.
DUCTI0N MEANS.
The Company Will Save Money and
Wait for More Prosperous
Times to Come.

OMAHA, Nsb., Jan. 22.-The Union
Pacific management by Yesterdays re.
duction cut expenses 100000 monthly,
and the executive officers are now on
the road to make further reductions.
This condition of affairs on the Union
Pacific is made absolutely necessary,
according to officials, by the complete
collapse OF business. Coal ia the only
commodity, and the weather has been
decidedly against even this article of
fuel. The only hope OF increased trat-
&c in the near future is from the orange
output.
The California orange crop this year
amounts to some 5000 cars, which is di-
vided up with tha Santa Fe, Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific. Coming as
it does in small lots of few cars at q
time it never materially affects BUSH
ness. Oranges will begin moving
about February lat, and until that time.
the extra train crews kept on for service
will be kept reporting for duty until the
orange crops begin to move. With the
orange output out OF the way and the
coal haul gradually letting up as spring
approaches, there seems to be nothing
in sight for the Union Pacific until an
other crop is harvested. which will give
something of an idea OF the travail
through which the overland has yet to
pass until the return to more prosper
ous timea.

New YORK, Jan. % There was a
meeting of the New York presbytery
in the First Presbyterian church here
Yesterday. A letter was received from
the Rev. E. z. Mullaly, who made him
sell conspicuous al the last session OF
the preabytery by voting against the
endorsement Of the reform work OF the
Rev. Charles Parkhurst. The COM
municstion was addressed to the Rev.
r. r. Booth, D. d. l. L. d., ae the
moderator OF the presbytery. and 1t
said:
II hereby respectfully give notice that
intend to complain against the pres'
bytery OF New York on account OF ita
action touching the Rev. Charles ID.
Parkhurst and his reform work. to our
general assembly at it's meeting in Pitts
burg next May"
Some reluctance was manifested DY
the ministers present as to allowing the
reception OF the complaint, but the
moderator announced that no other
course was open.
DR.. John @. Bliss then introduced O
resolution denouncing the proposed
effort to secure q Sunday liquor law in
this city, in which he called upon the
ministers OF the preebytary to agitate
the matter from their pulpits and to use
every effort to overcome any legislation
in the matter,
