Powell, who has resided here for a few months, had ordered a supper for him. self and several of his friends, and while awaiting the repast, an altercation occurred between himself and servant belonging to the Restaurant. Powell knocked the servant down and was stamping him. when Mir. G. w. Reddick interfered, and in the fracas which ensued, it is supposed he fired the shot that caused Powell's death yesterday evening at the Worsham House. PowePs friends, it is said, then commenced shooting at Reddick, an1 he was severely wounded in the thigh, and his clothes perforated in diff ferent places ty balls that were evidently fired at him. This, however, is mere report, no evidence being elicited before the jury of inquest going to substantitate it, and the jury only making their return charging Reddick with the killing of Powell, upon the dying declaration of the latter. It was given in evidence before them that all the parties were drunk, except Reddick. The whole affair is involved in mystery ,and noth- ing further will probably be known until the examination of Reddick takes place.
 The deceased man, Powell, has a wife and children at Burlington, N. J., where his remains will be taken.-Memphis News.
