He was some four hours on the field. and murmuring of the voice were heard along the entire route or until he had passed through. The journey was decidedly unpleasant in consequence of its weird, ghost-like accompaniements and he would not repeat it again under any circumstance" Relating his adventure to two or three Confederate veterans, living in Chattanooga, a few days afterwards, lie found' they had experienced the same uncanny, spook-like conduct while journeying over the battle field after dark, one of them.

A lo-r ull.

Saturday night late while proceeding to his home north of the Monon depot in company with two other men a certain clerk was approached a womanhis wife—abruptly and informed that if he did not cease in his attentions to other females he would get into trouble. His reply promptly to her was to go to a certain warm place frrquently mentioned in the Uiblr. and also sometimes spoken by men in anger. Instead of going there, however, the irate female at once drew a revolver and fired, the ball from the shooting iron going through the lobe of his left ear. This brought all parties at once to a stand still, and terror reigned for a time. Finally by a short intercession of words hostilities were closed, and man and wife "made up" then and there. It was a decidedly close call for the husband, and the wife wishes no. no doubt.* that she had not been so hasty. No arrests followed, as the matter has been kept stili thus far.

Seated in a buggy drawn by one horse, lie started on his journey about. o'clock in the evening. Within two hours he had reached the battle field and the night was quite dark, the only light being from the stars overhead. The horse walked the entire dis- trol of the property tance. .lust after reaching the north night that the meeting would be held edge of the field, he heard not over morning at 11 o'clock. thirty or forty feet from him. the conversation in a low tone of two or more voices. His first, thought was of an attempted robbery of him. and looking around he found he had nothing wliatever to defend hiuir-elf with should it occur. The sound of voices continued and he st pped the horse to await, the appearance of the supposed robbers.

The case of tic First National Hank against the defunct Dovetail (lear Company has been allirmed by the Supreme Court. When the-old company played out and tile stock was sold to the present Dovetail Body Company, the bankbrought suit against the oflicers of the defunct company for about £0.000, the defendants having had preferred creditors. Tin suit was tiled in 1SH2 anil .1 udge Monns in his decision says: 1. The expression that "property of a corporation constitutes a trust fund for for its creditors'' only means that when the corporation is insolvent and a court of equity lias taken possession of its assets for administration, such assets must be appropriated to the: pavmcr.t of its debts before distribution to its stockholders, but as between the cor poration itself and its creditors the corporation does not hold its propefty in trust or subject to a lien in favor of the creditors in other sense than does an individual d.'btor. 2. While partnership assets "remain under the control of thi! partners they though insolvent, to apportion of it to pay or secure the individual debts of the members of the firm to the exclusion of the partnership creditors. .'3. A insolvent debtor has the right and power to prefer certain creditors to the exclusion of others. 1. When a special finding is silent in respect to any material fact it will be presumed that such fact was found against tho applicant.
