HORRIBLE AFFAIR.
Tragic Termination Of a Feud Be.
tween Two Negro Women.
One of Them Horribly Mansled
and Killed by an AK.

Mrs. Rains plantation, near Whites
station, Memphis and Charleston rail.
road, was the scene Of one Of the most
shocking ARRAYS that has occurred in
this vicinity for months. The particulars
seem TO be about as follows Before the
var negro named Merriweather and a
girl known as Sarah lived together as
man and wife. A couple of years ago
Merriweather abandoned his wife, and
commenced living with woman in the
neighborhood named Eliza. Sarah for
long time endeavored to induce
Merriweather to return to her; but
neither threats nor entreaties could
move him. Last Saturday night Sarah
went TO where Eliza was living, apd
another quarrel ensued. After some time
spent in wrangling, Sarah seized an ak
and felled her adversary at single blow.
She did not cease with this, but continued
striking her with the AK until the poor
womans face was beaten almost to q
jelly, and two ugly gashes were inflicted
on the back of her head Coroner Cotton
held An inquest yesterday and rendered
a verdict in accordance with the above
facts. Upon the completion of her
bloody work Sarah fed, and at last
accounts had not been arrested. The
police have the affair in hand.

The METRoPoLITAY Police LAw.-On
Saturday Chancellor Smith decided the
Metropolitan Police Law to be constitu-
tional. The case is an old one, which
was first brought to the attention of the
court several months ago. 1t is under
stood that the city will carry the case to
the Supreme Court. Judge Smith having
declared the Police law constitutional,
his decision would seem to settle the
question as to the points involved in the
suit recently brought by the Mayor
against Col. Beaumont The law re-
quires the police commissioner to make
monthly report of the moneys de
rived by the police from all sources. Mr..
Lynn, then acting mayor, requested the
police commissioner to comply with the
law, and upon the latter's refusal brought
suit. The case has been hanging fire
for some time; but the decision above
mentioned covers the point. The pro-
vision of the law is plain, and the law is
declared constitutional. That being the
case, how Col. Beaumont can longer
refuse to comply with the mayors
request, does not appear. We hope the
city authorities will press this matter to
speedy conclusion, and deterpine
whether the police commissioners can set
at naught any provisions of law which
do not please them, and rigidly enforce
others inuring to their benefit.

CIRCUS To-NIGHT -Haight d Cham
bers colossal circus and menagerie was

of the high stage of water, in conse-
quence of which Memphis was reached
one day ahead of time, and the grand
opening will take place on Union street,
between Third and Desoto streets, this
evening at seven o'clock. This circus
and menagerie will compare with any
that have been organized the present
season, having over two hundred men
and horses attached to it. Mile Marie

and then there is the Miscco Brothers,

and host of others, famed in the ring
for their daring as riders, athletes,
clowns, etc. The geological department,
under the supervision Of the distin-
gnished naturalist and profound scholar,
Professor Lingel, is unusually large and
embraces rare and beautiful wild beasts,
birds and fowls from every quarter of
the globe, many of them being the only
specimens of the kind on exhibition in
this country, the whole forming a de-
lightful study to the lover of natural
history. A very interesting feature of
the exhibitions is the indomitable cour
age and amazing daring displayed by
the Fairy Queen of the Lions" Sig
norita Ella Eugene, who enters the dens
Of the savage monsters, and whose con-
troll over them seems perfect and ia the
theme of wonder and astonishment to all
