TWO UNFORTUNATES. Unhappy Wives Seek Surcease for Their Sor. rows in the Ohio.

The people on the wharf, between First and Second streets, witnessed no less than two unsuccessful attempts at suicide, made by two colored women, at different times, yesterday morning. The first would-be destroyer was an old woman named Betty Mace. She very old, and is troubled about her son. She appeared at the ferry dock early in the morning, and remained along the river's bank for some time. No one paid any attention to her until she suddenly ran out upon coal-barge and jumped into the river.

A crowd upon the dock awaiting the ferry saw her jump and gave the alarm. Two men, named Casper Bess and J. Walters, were near at hand, and before the woman could drown they got hold of her and pulled her out. When she was taken out of the water she muttered something about her son having been sent to the penitentiary and about not wishing to live any longer. She appeared grateful, however, at having been saved from drowning, and was sent to her home on Main, near Floyd street.

The second woman who tried to drown herself was Malinda Benson. She made the attempt at Dugan's coal flat, where her busband shovels coal. She and her husband did nos get along well together, and divorce suit is now pending. She went to the flat to see the man who was supposed to be the sharer of her sorrows and cares, and after a short conversation with him attempted to run and jump into the river, but was caught and drawn back before she made the plunge into the water. The husband took her in charge, and it is to be hoped that the two have reconciled their differences and made up.

ROSENFELDER AT REST. The Sixth-ward Trouble Ended by the Teacher Passing an Examination. Moses Rosenfelder, the teacher of German in the Sixth ward who has been the cause of so many stormy disputes in the Scool Board, bas at last been examined again.

In his examination he was required to translate German into English and English into German, but was not examined in the transposition of poetry, which was the rock on which he split before.

This ends a difficulty which has been agitating the board ever since the schools began their sessions. Prof. Taylor, Principal of the b- school, was one of the Committee of Examination. was required to make at least sixty-five per but the Superintendent of German declined to state how much more he obtained. His nomination is yet to be acted upon by the board, but this will doubtless be done at its next meeting.

MEMORIAL TO BE SENT TO CONGRE88- The meeting to consider the question of petitioning Congress for the passage of national bankrupt law was held yesterday at noon at the Board of Trade building. The meeting was a called one, and it was not very largely attended. Two years ago the Louisville Board of Trade took action against national law, but as the question is again being discussed, the board decided to reconsider the matter. Mr. John E.

Green called the meeting to order and stated its object, He said that the Louisville board had been invited by the New York Board of Trade and Transportation to send delegates to a convention which will be held in Washington City on January. 6, 1884, to consider the advisability of a national bankrupt law. A number of Boards of Trades aad Chambers of Commerce have signed a call for the holding of the convention at Washington, and by request Superintendent Wright read the call and gave the names of such bodies As have signed it. After the reading of this Mr. W.

A. Robinson offered the following resolution: Resolved, That, in the opinion of the board, enactment of a National Bankrupt Law, in the present condition of then country is unnecessary, and likely to be productive of evil rather than of good to commercial interests; therefore, the invitation extended by the Board of Trade and Transportation New York city to send a delegate to the convention called for the purpose of advocating such legislation is respectfully declined. The resolution was then taken up for discussion. The Hon. Edward McDermott said that he did not think that the question should be disposed of in 50 sumptuary 8 manner.

He referred to the bankrupt law and stated that the statistics showed that over ninety per cent. of business men failed at some time during their business life. He called attention to several things that he regarded as faulty in the Kentucky State laws on the subject, and said that he thought there should be national law on the subject. He said that much confusion and trouble were caused by having no national law, owing to the differences that now existed between the State laws. The speaker said that the bankrupt side should be considered as well as that of the creditors, and he closed his remarks by advocating a bankrupt law similar to the one now in force in England.

Mr. Jacob Kreiger favored the adoption of Mr. Robinson's resolution, and said that this country was entirely too large for a bankrupt law like the one in England. Mr. St.

John Boyle said that, though he did not favor a voluntary bankrupt law, that 99 per cent. of the commercial organitions of the country would favor an involuntary bankrupt law. He was of the opinion that they should at least send. delegates to the convention, no matter what the sentiment of the board might be. Mr.

W. A. Robinson took a strong stand against a national law and read an article from the Oil and Drug Reporter in support of his position. Mr. John Carter then moved an amendto the New York Board of Trade the and Transtwo years ago be appended to reply sent ment that the action taken on the subject portation as an explanation of the action the meeting took.

By request Maj. Wright read the resolution then adopted, but the' amendment was thought unnecessary, and it was withdrawn. Mr. Thomas Sherley next spoke on the subject, and said he thought that Louisville should represented at the convention at Washington, and he advised sending delegates, that they might go upon record as having opposed a national bankrupt law. Mr.

Robinson here explained that the invitation WAS given to only such bodies as favored a national law, and he said that opposing delegates were not expected. The vote was then taken upon the subject, and Mr. Robinson's resolution was adopted almost unanimously. Mr. Sherley then moved that the Secretary of the meeting, Mr.

Harvey Dudley, be instructed to send out circulars to the various Boards of Trade, throughout the country, requesting them to call a convention for the purpose of opposing a national bankrupt law. Mr. John S. Long moved the appointment of a committee to prepare a paper explaining to the convention the views of Louisville. Mr.

Arthur Peter said that he thought that they should wait and see the result of the convention before they did anything or took any opposing steps. Col. Buckner favored postponing the whole matter until August 1, but his motion met with no second. Maj. J.

M. Wright then arose and said that if the board would not send delegates to the convention, that it could explain its action by preparing a memorial and sending it to Congress, and he moved that the memorial be prepared and sent. The motion was then discussed and was finally adopted, and the meeting adjourned. COL. JOHN ROWAN Death of One of Louisville's Most Prominent Citizens A Rrief Sketch of His Eventfal Life.

Col. John Rowan Boone, who died in this city at 7 o'clock Monday evening, was born in Louisville in 1844. His father was Col. William P. Boone, and his mother was 8 daughter of the famous John Rowan.

In 1861 Col. Boone was a student at the Indiana University at Bloomington, but left college to join Gen. Sherman's army. For bravery and efficiency he was appointed Lieutenant Colonel of the Twenty-eighth volunteers by Gov. Bramiette.

His repeated acts of gallantry at length made him a full Colonel. After the war President Johnson sent Col. Boone's name in to the Senate as United States Marshal of Kentucky. The Senate, which was bitterly hostile to Johnson, refused to confirm the nomination unless Col. Boone would agree to make antiJohnson Republican speeches.

This he refused to do, and bis nomination, with that of Gen. McCleilan as Minister to England, and others, was not confirnied. Col. Boone studied law, and in 1869 went into partnership with his father. He was 'a successful lawyer when he died.

In 1870 he married Miss Carrie Belle Morris, daughter of Hon. George W. Morris. The fruit of the union was seven children-George William Harney, Annie Carrie, Fannie, and Rowan, Jr. The iliness which caused his deata bagan about two weeks ago, but was not considered serious until within the past few days.

He leaves a wife and a family of young children. The funeral will be held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from his late residece on Duncan, between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets. The interment will be private. Something About Bishop Penick. the Editor of the LOUISVILLE, Nov.

church in Kentucky has lately bad an accession to her ranks of one whose zeal, though having been submitted to the severest tests, seems to blaze with purer, steadier ray, rather than have been dimmed by the adverse circumstances and unkind climate by which he has, until recently, been surrounded. I allude to Bishop Penick, who has accepted the rectorship of St. Andrew's church, on Second, near Kentucky street. He brings with him an enviable record as security for the work he has undertaken in our.midst. More than twenty years ago, even before attaining his majority, when the warlike spirit was rife through the land, did he go to the front with a firm determination then as now to battle for the right, scorning to claim exemption from all the hardships incident to a soldier's life on the score of a slight physical infirmity, which, under the law, would have excluded him from the performance of any military duty.

He did not even seek the comparative ease and safety of the. Commissary or Quartermaster's department, nor even the but with characteristic zeal and energy shouldered his musket and marched forth with the infantry, considering not the ways or means, but only the end in view. After experiencing all the vicissitudes of a brave soldier's life through three or four weary years, which all of us, who are old enough, remember well, he enlisted under his Master's banner, and spurning again the pots" and easy places he takes his life in his band, and with it bis standard, to plant amid the wilds of Africa. There for six long years he toils amid hardships and suffering many times surrounded by hungry cannibals, who were to be dreaded even more than the wild beasts which frequently beset his path. He contended manfully against all these hardships until prostrated for the second time with a pernicious fever, which nearly cost him his life each time.

He remained long enough, however, to see many fruits of his labors, and feel somewhat rewarded for his self-abnegation. It was my privilege one Sunday morning to listen to his sermon from the text, "Even as thou wilt, so be it unto thee." It was a strong blow at the cherished Calvinistic doctrine of predestination, inasmuch as it permitted man to overcome Any combination of circumstances with God's help, and make of himself what he would. It is true, too, that the unpleasant responsibility of "free agency" was made very plain, which is not always the most agreeable thing to ears polite. His sermons are delivered in a forcible and earnest ner, showing close study and familiarity with the Bible. He gains a great point, too, in that he refers so seldom to his notes.

There is an irresistible magnetism about the speaker who relies not upon manuscript. There is a sympathy between him and his audience that is never excited by the mere reading of an able discourse, it matters not how carefully prepared or how well delivered. We think that the church in this diocese has much to be grateful for in having socured for her work here efficient and faithful servant, and we bid him God speed in all sincerity. THE CHAMPION MEAN! MAN. Wealthy Louisville Italian, Saved From the Disgrace of Divorce Suit by the Efforts of His Lawyer, Rewards the Latter by ASKING HIM TO TAKE A DRINK.

"Speaking about mean men," said Mr. William Mix, the lawyer, in the County Clerk's office yesterday, "I've got the pion mean man of America for a client. I'll tell you what he did only a few days ago. He is a very wealthy Italian of this city, but he has an overbearing, quarrelsome disposition. For a long time past he has been abusing his wife, and they have had frequent rows.

He has taken her children from her, and was about to sell his furniture and go to Europe, when she, exasperated beyond all endurance; determined to bring a divorce suit against him. He heard of it and came to me. Now, if I had been like most lawyers, I would have advised him to fight it out, and would have received a $500 fee for my services, but he was a friend of mine and I thought I would try and save him the expense and disgrace of a divorce suit--and tell you," remarked Mr. Mix, in a sort of 8 parenthesis, "it would have been a racy one, too so I said to him: 'Here, you just leave this matter to me, and I'll fix it up for you all He agreed to my proposal, and I left him to seek out his wife. It doesn't matter what I said to her, but I finally succeeded in getting her to promise to abandon her idea of bringing a suit, and to say that if her husband was willing she would try and get along with him pleasantly in future.

Delighted with the success of my mission I hastened back to my client to tell him what I had accomplished. He seemed very happy over my announcement, and said he would go to his wife immediately. He also said he would take her to Europe with him. how do you think ho paid me for my continued Mr. Mix, as his listeners smiled at the happy climax to his story.

"Why, he just asked me to go and take a drink. Think of it. Why, he ought to have handed me a fifty-dollar bill. A man on the ragged edge of a divorce suit, and just saved in time by. the efforts of his lawyer, and yet he thinks those efforts are only worth a toddy.

If he isn't the meanest man in America, I'll sell out." With this Mr. Mix bustled out of the office, leaving the clerks to wonder who the wealthy Italian was. county. was in town yesterday. REV.

TO SIGN OR NOT TO SIGN. 4 Question Which Kept 3 Two Ladies Shitering and Arguing on the Courthouse Steps Yesterday for an Hour and Half. THEY FINALLY LEAVE STILL UNDECIDED. Two ladies were seen standing on the Court-house steps yesterday afternoon by COURIER-JOURNAL reporter, engaged in An animated discussion, and occupying the silent intervals by shivering with the cold. One was an old lady of evident Milesian extraction, while the other WAS young and handsome.

As the reporter hesitated on his course into the Temple of Justice, the younger one said: do wish you would make up your mind one way or the other, Mrs. Kerr. You have kept me standing here over an hour, and I'm nearly frozen." The only response to this remark was an uncertain movement on the part of Mrs. Kerr, which, it seemed at first, would take her inside, but ended by placing her just where she was before. The younger, lady seemed exasperated at this proceeding, and started resolutely down the steps, saying: I'm not going to wait any longer; I'm going home." But before she reached the sidewalk Mrs.

Kerr cried out: "No, no; come back; do come back and I'll sign it." So she came back, and the reporter burried into the County Clerk's office, where he surmised the signing was to be done. Half an hour passed, however, and the ladies did not appear, so he went back to see if they were still there, and found them still arguing and shivering. Presently one of the Deputy Clerks put in an appearance, and through his questioning the mystery was raveled. It seems Mrs. Mary Kerr was possessed of a piece of property on Walnut, below Fitteenth street, which she wished to dispose of.

A purchaser was finally found in Mrs. MeDonough, of Lebanon, mother of Dr. McDonough, of this city. All the details of the sale were arranged except the signing of the deed, and Mrs. Kerr agreed to perform this very essential act yesterday afternoon.

So she went to the Court-house, accompanied by Mrs. Dr. McDonough, who was to witness the signature. But when she reached the door her courage failed her suddenly in both directions. She didn't want to sign and she didn't want to go home without signing.

The result was a very amusing but rather chilly predicament. Mrs. McDonough did not urge her to take either one course or the otheer; she simply begged her to make up her mind so they could go But the old lady persisted in her hesitancy. She wouldn't go into the Court-house, and, if her companion started to go home, she would always call her back. The reporter asked Mrs.

Kerr why she did not wish to sign the deed. At first she said she didn't wish to sign away her home, but finally she admitted that her indecision was owing to the belief that she, hadn't. got enough for her property and might do better elsewnere. While she was talking Mrs. McDonough said: I'm going for the last time now, 11 and again started off.

Mrs. Kerr let her get half way to Sixth street and then turned to the reporter and said: "Ob, she's not gone sure enough; do you think so? Please call back an' I'll sign it; faith I will, But the lady Was by this time out of bearing, and the undecided old woman, after anxiously peering down Jefferson street for ten or fifteen minutes, mournfully followed after, muttering to herself: "Well, 1'1 sign it to-morrow, annyhow."

C. COURT OF APPEALS DECISIONS. A WIDOW'S DOWER. Lee, vs. James.

(To be reported.) Filed Nov. 24, 1883. Appeal from Kenton Chancery Court. Opinion of the court by Judge PRYOR, reversing. First--A widow is not entitled to dower as against a lien for purchase money, whether the sale be made by the Chancellor or by the husband himself.

Therefore, where the husband sells, the purchaser undertaking to discharge the lien for purchase money, no claim for dower can be asserted. Second--The widow is only entitled to the use of one-third of the land for life as dower, and when the land is indivisible she is entitled to onethird of the rents. It was, therefore, error for the Chancellor to give the dower in money based upon the cash value of the property and then order a sale of the property to pay it. Third-Rents should have been allowed only from the institution of the suit for dower, and not from the death of the husband. Pryor and Chambers for Appellants; A.

C. Ellis for appellee. LIMITATION- -CONSTRUCTIVE FRAUD VOLUNTARY CONVEYANCE. Phillips, vs. Shipp, do.

(To be reported.) Filed Nov. 24, 1883. Appeal from Louisville Chancery Court. Opinion of the court by Chief Justice HARGIS, reversing. General Section six, Statutes, article three, chapter seventy-one which privides that no action for relief tor fraud or mistake shall be brought ten years after the time of making the contract or the perpetration of the fraud, applies as well to constructive as to actual fraud.

Therefore an action to set aside a conveyance as constructively fraudulent is barred by the lapse of ten years 'after the execution of the conveyance, regardless of the time the cause of action occurred. I. and J. Caldwell and Winston for appellants; Brown and Davie and H. Pope for appellees.

Thompson for appellant; F. P. Straus for appellees. CRIMINAL LAW--CHILD UNDER FOURTEEN YEARS OF AGE PRESUMED TO BE INNOCENT -OFFENSE COMMITTED AT REQUEST OF ANOTHER. McClure vs.

Commonwealth. (To be reported). Filed 1883. Appeal from Gravson Circuit Opinion of the court First--The by Chief Justice HARGIS, reversing. law presumes that under the age fourteen years is not criminally responsible, and that presumption prevails until the evidence clearly establishes that the child understood the nature of the act charged and its consequences.

Second- Upon the trial of appellant, a boy under fourteen years of age, under an indictment against him for breaking into a store, the jury should have been instructed substantially that it the defendant broke into the store es charged, but did so at the request of another, and in consequence of youth or mental inflamity, not perceiving the wicked character of the act, or not knowing his responsibility therefor, they should acquit him, the testimony tending to show that the defendant broke into the store at the request of an older brother. Third--The testimony tending to show that the defendant was of unsound mind, the court should, upon its own motion, have instructed the jury as to insanity, on account of the tender years of the defendant. Fourth-in the absence of the defendant's attorney, or upon his failure to object to the illegal action of the Commonwealth's Attorney, it was the court's duty, of its own motion, without objection or exception, to protect the child from all illegal proceedings. Fifth- -The court erred admitting testimony tending to show the bad character of tie defendant's mother and his older brother, and in allowing the Commonwealth's Attorney to travel out of the records in his argument to the jury. and these errors authorize reversal although there was neither objection or exceptions to the action of the court.

J. P. Hobson for appellant; P. W. Hardin for appellee.

I can't tell how long it will be before the sale is concluded. When it is we will be able to arrive at an estimate of the Mr.

O' Brien added that the fitting up of the building was for 1,500 guests and cost 838,000.

A LARGE number of tramps are living an old dilapidated house between this city and New Albany.

They manage to live by stealing from the people of both cities. EMANUEL BOTTORFF, who was sent to the State Insane Asylum from Charlestown some time ago, has been returned and pronounced curable. 'The young man's affliction was caused from over-study. THE ferrydock on this side of the river was entered by burgiars Monday night, and a small amount of money, some cigars, candy and ferry tickets taken. The dock is kept by man named Summers.

Two men in a skiff were seen near the dock at a late hour by the night crew on the boat, and it is thought they committed the theft.

as he was called, committed a highway robbery in that Stute some time ago and pleaded guilty to the charge. He came from this city, and while here enjoyed rather an unenviable reputation, spending most of his time in the county jail, where he was sent for the commission of numerous crimes. He left this place rather suddenly last summer. In fact, Clune was working on the rock -pile serv. ing out a sentence, and by some means effected his escape, and was not captured.

He was a bad character, and the peopie feel safer now that he is in prison. THE Times says: Dolan is greatly exercised to-day over the desecration of the grave of her little babe, buried in the Catholio Cemetery. She charges Thomas Hurley, whose infant was interred last Sunday, with breaking open three graves to find his only child. One of the graves contained the remains of Mrs. Dolan's child, and, as she says, he dug down and undertook to resurrect the decayed body of Mrs.

Dolan's child, which he thought was his own. Finding that the child was not his own, he thrust the remains back in their last resting place and left it nucovered. Mrs. Dolan's Indignation over the desecration of the remains of her child knows no bounds. What Hurley wanted with the remains of his dead babe no one knows.
