atthe Hail, over Stewards Dry Goods Store,
and was crowded TO it's utmost capacity. A
very large number of ladies graced the scene
by their presence and we have seer none who

room is beautifully and tastefully decorated,
and the table loaded with everything to please
the fancy and tempt the appetite. The cause
is one that appeals to our people for their gen,

prove an eminent success. 9~

Nan Shot BY Ncgoes.-The Memphis
Commercial Of the 18th, says: " Somewhere
about the middle Of the afternoon yesterday,
Garrett Caldwell was shot and bayoneted
on the corner of Jefferson and Water streets,
and instantly killed, by negro soldiers.
The circumstances Of the occurrence, are, as
es near as we have boon able to learn them !:
1t seems that Caldwell was arrested on FRI
day,..charged with stealing a carpet-sack, and
was brought before Lieut.. Ward, Of the
Freedmens Court yesterday morning.
Here the facts appeared sufficient to justify
his retention, and he was sent to the Irving
block for safe keeping, with request from
Lieut.. Ward to Lieut.. Cox, Of the Irving
block, that he should be permitted TO 60 and
secure bail Consequently, he, with anoth-
er prisoner, was placed under guard of two
negro soldiers, and went off in quest of bail.
We understand that in doing so, they had
taken drink or two on their way to
where the killing occurred. In the mean
time the other prisoner had escaped,
and it was thought that Caldwell,
at the time he was shot, was quick
ening his pace to make his escape. A
person who saw him at the time, said to us,
that be seemed TO be on slight trot. The
negro did not give the word halt" but
called out to the crowd about TO clear away,
and levelled his gun and fired, the ball tax
ing effect just under the right shoulder,
lodging somewhere near the heart. Cald-
well made two or three steps forward, and
leaned up side Of the door on the corner of
Jefferson and Water streets, when the sol
diers rushed upon him-one bayoneted him
In the left breast, through the heart, and the
other making a thrust at him with the bay
onet, missing him, and driving it into the
door some distance. Caldwell died almost
Immediately, either Of the wounds being suf-
6cient to cause his death.
