Carriages in attendance
Projection AGAINST FRE-The catastro-
phe at Charleston should be a warning to us in
Memphis. The fire steamer now building for US
at Richmond is d delayed by the shop being en-
gagged in government work until we get Il, the
city has very inadequate provision against fire.
Our steam hre-engine particularly, our other en-
gines, and all the hese, should be kept in good
seryiceabIe condition, and our cisterns wei filed
Beyond these precautions many are of opinion
that, to guard against fire and other evils, a reg
uIar nightly patrol should be established.
PANTS AND PErrIcoHrS.-At one Of our
principal hotels on Thursday night, an officer on
his way to Bowling Green, who was staying
there for the night, had for companion a very
handsome boy. Some little circumstance hay
ing given rise to a suspicion, officer Myers was
sent for, who took officer and boy to the s-adon
house. Hsre it turned out that the pretty saucy
looking boy, vas a very handsome young wo-
man. The officer Lett twenty-five dollars As Sc
aurity for his appearance before the Recorder
he never appeared and the money was forfeited.
The woman was fined ten dollars.
ATTEMPT To MURDER.-Two miles from the
city, east from the head of Beal street, is the
plantation and residence Of Mrs. Carr, who had
boarding with her Dr. U~pchurch, and an Italian,
whose name the police, from whom ve have our
information, had forgotten. The Italian attend
I'd 10 the ladies' business. The Doctor was in
the habit of coming to the city very early in the
morning, aud had to wake mp a servant to get
ready his buggy. This proceeding was not
liked by the Italian, and yesterday morning
when the Doctor was about starting ont as
usual, the Italian approached him and made two
attempts to FIRE at him, but the pistol did not 60
OF. He then struck him on the head with the
pistol, knocked him down aud proceeded TO
brutality in use him. The Doctor is a small
man and The other had the advantage, but the
fo-msr contriYed to get his knife from his pocket
and open it wi5bhis teeth. Wifi this he stabbed
the man who intended to murder him, in seven
places, almost any one of the wounds being
sufficient to kill him. The man was not dead
at the last accounts but could not live. The
Doctors collar bone was broken in the ARRAY.
C~oUNrERFEITER ~ARREsTED.-The counter
felt money that has been brought to Memphis
from time to time was of northern manufacture,
and It seems to have struck the northern genius
we are about to speak of that it would be a good
speculation to make the article on the spot. A
few weeks ago circumstances led officers Klink,
Dyer and Causey to suspect there was some
thing wrong about a nlan named W. Il. Mark
ham, who came here from Yicksburg, but was
originally from Massachusetts. Kink watched
him attenively, and at length found that he was
making o]vertures to a German employee at the
iewelry store Of A. J. Warren & Co. The work
man communicate TO tie police what was the
nature of the mans business with him, and at
their desire lie constructed for Markham the ap-
paratus he required. Yesterday Markham was
arrested, and a receipt for rent he had about him
showed that he had a room over Hoist & Sons,
undertakers, on Main street On searching this
room the mans tools and apparatus were found.
Other articles were also discovered at his resi-
dence-fOr he had a wife and child-on Market
street, between Third and Fourth. The princi.
pal articles seized are q galyanic battery and two
dies Of each Of the two faces of 800 gold piecs.
These we're of course in reverse, that is, the parts
that are raised GA the coin were sunk IN; the exc
cution was as true aud accurate as in the original
1t was intended by means of the apparatus and
dies to produce a thin shell Of gold of each face
of TIE coin. Within this was to be enclosed a
piece Of metal Of the weight and ring of gold
When the whole was finished, il would have stood
all the usual tests. In making this arrest, the
officers have saved many persons from being
victimized by severe losses. Beside this appar-
atus were many tools, steel dies for two and &
