Wben the witness left. the stand, Mr.

Aaron Kohn announced that he had amined the witness at the request of Hammond, and that the latter desired to address the jury in his own behalf, if the court would permit.

Duke rep.led that, despite Hammond's appeal, bu did not think be was any more entitied to mercy than others who had maicted.

Three hours were taken up in examination of four WItDe ses for the prosecution, John and Ernst Kieler, Pail Bowman and Nick Buncha, when the prosecution closed, leaving a large number of witnesses unexamined. The testimony did not differ materially from that taken at the Coroner's inquest, though the witnesses manifested considerable feeling against Smith. They were very emphatic in their stavements that no resistance WAS made to the officer, and that the billy and pistol were used without provocation. The witnesses were put through a very rigid cross-examination, from which it appeared that there a considerable fight going ou in the saloon among the men before the officer was called in. At 6 o'clock the further bearing of the case was postponed till 11 o'clock this morning, when the testimony for the defense will begin.

Opinion of the Court by Judge LEwIs, In determining whether partuersbip real estate was intended by the partners to be treated as part of their capital stock, not ouly for the purposes of the partnerahip, but 1 for ail purposes, the court will cousiuer all the facts and circumstances, including tue nature of the partnership business, the character an I extent of the real estale invoived and the partners' mode of treating and considering it, and in the absence of such facts and circumstances as will warrant the court in finding that it was intended or agreed by the partuers that their real estate should be regarded as personalty for all purposes, it should only be so regarded for the purposes of the partnersbip, and after these are swered the surplus should be held to be real tate tor all other purposes, and the widows of the partners should be alloted dower. The facis and circumstances in this case show that the partners iutended their real estate to. be treated as personalty for ail purposes, and the widow of one of tue partners is, therefore, not entitled to dower.

Causler. (To be reported.) Filed Nov. 3, 1883. Appeal from Christian Circuit Court. Opinion of the court by Judge HOLT, affirming.

First- -Where a vender is not invested with such a title as he undertakes by his contract to make to tue vendee, yet it time be not of the essence of the contract, and he is able to make titie when the time for performance arrives, and tenders the deed, the contract will be enforced, although his title was detective at the date of the contract; and in such 3 case if a rescission be asked by the other party, and the vender is not able at the time of the institution of a suit for this purpose to comply with the contract, yet if he can perfect the title within a reasonable time the court will afford him an opportunity to do 80. In this case, however, the property agreed to be conveged being the property of the vender's wife, and the improveinents having been destroyed by fire before a sufficient deed was tendered the vendee can not now be required to accept a deed and pay the purchase money, the vender having ample time before the fire to make the deed which by the contract was to have been made on a certain day, and furnishing no sufficient excuse for not doing 50. second- Where there has been unnecessary delay or neglect in complying with a contract for the sale of real estate upon the part of the party seeking to enforce it, and in the meantime the character of the property has materially altered, a court of equity should not look with favor upon the applicant. Third--A de 1acto officer is one who exercises the duties of an office claiming the right to de SO under some commission or appo.ntment. One who having been a Deputy Clerk in the county during the first term of the Clerk continued to act as such without reappointment after his principal had entered upon nis second term, acted only by self-appointinent, and was not a de facto officer.

Items of General Interest and Importance, Together With Local Paragraphs CHICAGO, Nov. General Freight Agents of lines in the Northwestern Trattie Association were in session here to-day for the purpose of arranging a schedule of winter rates on traffio between Chicago and common points, and St.

Paul and Minneapolis. Horace Tucker, General Freight Agent of the Illinois Central railroad, was present, and said his company would abide by the rates fixed at the meeting, the same as if it was a member of the Association. It would also abide by the rules regarding single-deck cars for sheep. The following are the rates established, and they go into effect Novembor 16: First class, 60 cents per 100 pounds; second class, 45 cents; third class, 30 cents; fourth class, cents; fifth class, car-lots, per 100; class class 200; class C. class 150.

CHICAGO, Nov. to-day's session of the representatives of roads interested in the lumber traftio of the Middle and Western States, word was received from the officers of the Flint and Pere Marquette road that they deemed is inad visable to advauce rates at the present time in the Saginaw Vailey, as bigher rates would not hoid in the face of existing competition. Consequently that road would bold to the rate of six cents per 100, arbitrary tariff, until the close of navigation.

This was also the policy of the Michigan Central, 8 competing road occupying the same territory. Wm. Orr and L. A. Richardson were appointed a committee to investigate the situation and determine what would be a proper basing rate from Chicago, Michigan City, Grand Rapids, and -otuer common points out of Michigan, including the Saginaw vailey, The interests of the different roads being so conflicting in their nature, the meeting decided to let rates continue as they are for thirty days.

This will allow the present demoralization to continue until the committee appointed has reported an adequate remedy. The Central Transportation Company. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the Central Transportation Company was held here today to bear the report of the tellers appointed to receive the stock votes on the questions of reducing the par value of the stock and the withdrawal of the reserve fund from the Philadelphia Trust and Safe Deposit Company.

Fast Trains to be ithdrawn. CHICAGO, Nov.

statement is publisbed here that the New York Central and Pennsylvania railroads contemplate drawing their fast passenger trains between here and New York, owing to the fact that they are not protitable. The Lightning Express Continues to Flash, PHILADELPHIA, Nov. report that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company contemplates the withdrawal of the New York and Chicago limited express is denied by officials of the passenger department of that road. Boys On Railroads, The Indianapolis Journal very justly says the tendency of railroad officials to employ boys in many of the departments 18 a matter over which there is considerable uufavorable comment, more especially where boys are placed at telegraph stations, many of them important ones, where a slight mistake on the part of the operator may cause serious collision aud possibly a large loss of life. To be sure, boys can be bired on few dollars' salary per month less than competent, careful man, bus this will hardly compensate for the risk run in employing a cheap operator.

Then, again, too wany boys are employed on trains. Nothing sooner arrests the attention and arouses the apprehension of the traveler nowadays than the large proportion of brakemen whom be encounters that are only boys. There are many where even on passenger trains more of these employs appear to be in their teens than fullgrown men. It is not uncommon to find them indulging in boyish pranks with the peanut boy. The fuse of air-brakes has materially changed the position of the brakeman, but he is aiways liable.

to have 8016 responsible, duty devolved upon him, like that of flagging a following train. Nobody is fit for such duty who has not reached "gears of discretion," and it is a scandal that mere boys should be so generally ployed simply because they can be bired wore cheaply than men. Not a few so-called accidents directly spaced of judgment on the part of some youthful brakeman, and there is reason to believe that many others have resily been due to the same cause. The new rule of the Pennsylvania regarding a brakeman's age ought to be made obligatory upon all railroads in the country. The B.

and O. Terminal, The Cleveland Plain Dealer gives currency to rumor that the Baltimore and Obio people have no idea whatever of either going to New York over the New Jersey Central or by the Pennsylvania railroad. Ic is said their scheme is to build from Philadelphia to the Kill Von Kull and cross over to Staten Island, where the most magnificent terminals can be had for teath of the price of those in Jersey City. Heresboff, the builder of the Stiletto, is to be given contracts for the construction of several fast steamers, which will convey gers from Staten Island to the Battery in fifteen minutes. The 1 route by Staten Island will be much shorter than by existing lines, and can not fail to prove extremely attractive to the traveling public.

An immense coal distributing depot will be established OD Staten Island, as well as elevators and storage warebouses. As the Baltimore and Ohio has surplus of nearly $5,000,000, the cost of the extension can easily be taken care of. With the facilities which the elevated railroads afford at the Battery for delivering passengers to all points of New York, the new line will be able to command a large share of travel.

THE Indiana division of the United States Railway Passenger Conductors' Accident Insurance Association seems to be doing goud work. In the last three months they have disbursed to members who have been unfitted for duty by accident some $1,500.

FROM all quarters come complaints of the scarcity of cars. The trouble seeins to be that cars have become scattered over all the roads of the country during the dullness in freight traffic, and, like wan who, after two or three years of idleness, has allowed bis tools to become scattered among his neighbors, it is quite An uudertaking to gather them up. THE statement is made that another new and short line is to be established between Chicago and Cincinnati. The plan is to construct a new link, which will be about sixty miles in length, on the Dayton and Michigan branch, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton, beginning at Pique and running to Decatur, on the Caicago and Atlantic. The distance between Chicago and Cincinnati would be about 321 miles, or tweive miles longer than the Kankakee line.

The East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia and the Norfolk and Western railroad companies have carried 2,000 bales of cotton less to Norfolk so far this year than at the same time last year. At the beginning of the season 10,000 bales, which should nave gone to these roads under the cotton pool, were taken by other lines to Savannah. It is stated that much more than this amount has been diverted from the East Tennessee and the Norfolk roads in this way, and that the other lines in the cotton pool will bave some beavy settlements to make at the end of the year with these two companies. The cotton crop is reported to be much more promising than in the early part of the year.

Melissa Elder Files Her Third Suit in Chancery For Divorce. She Asks. For the Return of 250 Acres of Land and the Possession of Her Children. Twenty years ago- Melissa Tucker pretty girl of 16, with a $18,000 estate, and lived in the neighborhood of Beckley's tion, on the Short-line railway, thirteen miles from Louisville. Her father was Mr.

Hiram Tucker, and one of bis intimate friends Mr. Elder. After Mr. Tucker's death Mr. Elder became the trustee, or guardian, of Miss Melissa.

Mr. Elder had a son Thomas, at thattime, was a dashing young man with many friends, and a great beau among the Thomas and Melissa bad been raised on adjoining farms and had been constant friends from childhood. One afternoon in the autumn of 1865 Thomas Elder and Melissa Tucker boarded the train from Cincinnati. After the lapse of two days they returned, and Mr. Elder introduced his companion as his wife.

There was a reception at the home of the groom's pareuts, and the young couple started happily on life's journey. Eight years afterwards Mrs. Elder brought suit against ber husband for divorce. In ber petition she alleges cruel treatment. While the suit WAS pending a reconciliation was effected, and the wife withdrew her complaint.

Eighteen months ago Mrs. Elder again instituted proceedings for a decree of separation, and again the case failed to be cailed for trial. Yesterday Mrs. Elder fled her third petition in the Chancery Court for divorce. The plaintiff alleges that when she married Elder in Cincinnati in 1865 she was possessed.of a large amount of property.

The petition alleges that Eider took advantage of her ignorance of business affaire, and that, by and misrepresentations, be began to da- pose of her property and squander her estate. The petition says that in 1883 Elder entered into a conspiracy with Andrew J. Sturgeon, his brother-in-law, and induced her to join in a deed of trust to the said Sturgeon, by which the latter obtained possession of tour tracts ot land in this county, amounting to 250 acres. She alleges in another paragraph that after dispossessing her of ber real estate, the defendant, Eider, refused to support ber and abandoned ber, leaving ber in the greatest distress and destitution. She charges that Elder is at present receiving rents and profits from her lauds, is in business in this city, and is able to pay ber $10 per week during the pendency of her suit.

She prays the court to corpel him to give her this amount. Mrs. Elder also alleges that her busband's habits are so dissipated, and his morals so bad, that be is not a suitable person to have possession of their children, wherefore she prays for their custody. She asks, in clusion, that she be granted a divorce: that the deed of trust made to Andrew J. Sturgeon be set aside; that her estate be adjudged ber pruperty, and that the court appoint receiver to take charge of it for her.

The defendant, Thomas Eider, it will be remembered, was sued for bastardy by Aunie Egbert about two years ago. At present the wherealouts of Mrs. Elder are not known. Her attorney, Mr. Sam Kirby, said last nigut that bis client bad recently been an inn.ate of the poor-house.

The Abbott Company in The engagement of the Abbott Opera Company closed yesterday with a repetition of the in the afternoon, and the performance of "Norma" in the evening, Miss Marie Greenwood took the part of Yum Yum. instead of Miss Abbott, was announced on biils; for the rest, the cast was the same AS on Monday evening. The performance waS extremely funny, and the parts richly costumed. Miss Annandale's Katisha would have redeemed the dreariest opcasion, and Mr. Dixon, who appeared as Koko, though lacking anything like transcendent vocal qualifications, worked his vein of comedy for all it was worth, and furnished an abundance of grotesque humor.

The performance of last night was rather the feature of the engagement, 60 far as effective work was concerned. The male chorus was strong, and did capable work in the priests' march and the opening chorus of the Druids. The best voices of the company were cast for the principal parts. Miss Abbott appeared in the title role, and Miss Laura Bellini as Addlgisa. The latter possesses a soprano voice of great streugth and sweetness, is both a graceful actress and a bandsome woman, and her impersonation was matic and forcible.

Signor Montegriffo's robust tenor was ly adapted to the role of Pollia. He does not quite look the Roman. but he makes up in voice and manner what he lacks in statue, and sings the role with fine effect. Signor Ronconi, who took the part of Orovesa, the Druid priest, sang his role in smooth, rich bass, and the minor parts were capably handled. The audience last night was by far the largest of the week, and the performance was received with more marked applause than on previous occasions.

Encores were frequent, and after the duet, "Hear Me, Norma," Miss Abbott and Miss Bellini were sev. eral times recalled.
