Harrison Magoon and Rowland
Cases Drag YEARLY Along in
Two Circuit Courts.

Judge Gear yesterday made an order
increasing the allowance to the five
minor children in the estate of the late
Minister James A King to $75 a month.
The order was made upon the applica-
ton of Mrs. Charlotte D. King, the
widow, to increase the allowance to the
children from Sc each to $50 each for
month; as the former allowance was
wholly inadequate.
The estate of the minors consists of
real property valued at $7675 and per
sonal property to the amount of Sc, 7SO.
the interest therefrom being but $50
! per month. AS this is grossly made
quate the Court orders that a portion
of the principal be appropriated to make
up the deficiency.
In regard to the share of James
King. one of the sons now thought to
be in South Africa, the guardian Joseph
Lightfoot has been ordered to pay such
] monies belonging to James King to
] Mrs. Charlotte D. King as admins
traitor. 1t is further ordered that Joseph
4 Lightfoot execute a lease to Charlotte
D. King on behalf of the minors for
the land on Vineyard street, known as
4 the King homestead at monthly
& rental of two dollars for each of the
Y said minors; also the leasehold of land
5 fronting thirteen feet on Emma street,
8 at an annual rental of two dollars for

4 iii land at monthly rental of one dollar
