Courts are sometimes called on to decide cases of extreme delicacy as to points of time especially where prop erty is concerned. Some years ago i've srecolleet to have read of a case in England as we now remember. where a man and his wife were out in a small boat which was upset and both of them drowned. There was consider able property involved and its disposi- tion depended to 8 large extent on the question of which died first. No one saw them drown and when the bodies were recovered there was mo- thing to show that one or the other died first. The court held that as the man was the stronger of the two he was presumed to have survived longer and the property claims were settled accordingly.
 It must be admitted that this opin- ion of the court was founded entirely on theory which may or may not have been correct but 1t seemed to be the only way to settle 1t. A later ease. still fresh in the memory, was that of the rich James G. Fair and wife, who were killed in an auto- mobile accident in California. Here also important questions of the dis- tribution of property depended on as- certaining which survived the other, as no one witnessed the accident and both were lead when found. In this case the courts held that, the man being strongest. would naturally sur vive the woman.
 A case of the same nature is now troubling one of the courts of In- diana. William Jackson and wife while crossing a railroad were struck and instantly killed There is some per sonal property involved, and if the man died first the property went to his wife and from her to her children by a former husband. but if the man lived longest, even by the fraction of A minute, the property goes to his brothers and sisters, as there were no children by this marriage. In this case no one can swear as to the facts. They have found one man who says he reached the bodies soon after the ac- cident. The woman's head was so bad Iy mangied that he did not examine her but when he stopped over the man and felt his pulse he detected [ slight sign of life.
 This, it must be admitted Is very in- definite testimony. If there was any movement of the mans pulse, however

Reautiful Life Is Ended fin Eishty-Ninth Year of Age at Clayton
 Came to Alabama In 1s37.

Mrs. Mourning Jones Screws died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Jere N williams. Clayton. Ala. Monday night. March f. 1901.
 She was born in Nash County, North Carolina, November IS. 1877, and had therefore passed by some months her eighty-ninth year of age. She came to Alabama with her husband, Benjamin Screws, in 1897, and has lived since then in Barbour County Her husband died while at shelby Springs, August 27. 1859.
 She was gifted with remarkable i'm teilectuality and took great interest in everything around her. The young people were very fond of her. while it was joy andsa pleasure to older per sons to be in her company.
 When quite young. she became member of the Methodist Church. and her whole life was that of devoted. consistent Christian woman.
 She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Jere N. Williams. of Clayton. and two sons. W. w. and H. P Screws of this city, and many grandchildren and great-grandehildren

slight. 1t might be held that life was not extinct. but as the witness states that he did not touch or examine the woman he evidently is not able to swear that she was. dead. It Is a nice question to decide, but we presume the courts will follow precedent and hold that the man survived his wife. Upon such delicate points as this do im- portant matters sometimes depend. ana human intelligence must settle them in some manner. Much must be &ken for granted in all cases of this na- ture, and it ss plain that after such a case Is settled there must be dout TO- mainine. Solomon himself would have been baffied in the attempt to decide Justly but as some kind of decision must be arrived at where the dispo- sition of property is concerned the only thing to do. apparently, is for the law to settle 1t as best 1t can.
