dence Tuesday night
Col. James Shutter, Superintendent
Of the Southern Express Company, re-
turned last night. FIIft.I
Three negroes were sent before the
Criminal Court this forenoon to answer
to the charge of larceny.
- Mary Barefoot and Lucinda Lee
(both colored) we're sentenced to the
penitentiary yesterday for larceny.
Mr.. John B. Evans, of Wythe sta
ton, is missing and inquired after. He
was here a week ago, and foul play is
feared. rrat ar
-Nokes and Thompson, the horse
thieves arrested recently, were taken
before Esq Walton yesterday and COM
mitted for trial without bail.
= A Cincinnati gentleman has con-
tracted to build the works of the new
Gayoso Gas Company. He is to have
them completed by Christmas.
Yesterday afternoon Barney Brady,
charged with shooting VIM. Austin (col-
ored), was bound over in $4,000 for his
appearance at the Criminal Court.
= Ed. Worsham keeps one ofthe best
stocks of stationery etc, in the city.
His supply of newspapers and period
calls is ample and fresh. Don't forget
him.
Frank Benson, charged with shoot
ing VIM. Jameson (colored) last Monday
morning, was taken before Esq. Lee this
forenoon for examination. The evil
dence was sufficient to warrant the mag
istrate to require $4,000 bail for Benson's
appearance at Court. He will probably
be able to find the necessary bondsmen
and secure release from prison.
= Physicians inform us that cholera
has almost entirely disappeared from the
city and suburbs. A few cases are re-
ported, but not a sufficient number to
justify alarm. Last year the cholera
made no havoc until August By proper
effort its recurrence the present season
in epidemic form may be averted. We
would urge our citizens to quit nothing
calculated to promote health.
We are beginning to experience
summer in earnest. The days and nights
are now so hot that one longs, like
Charles Lamb, to draw the marrow out
of his bones and let the wind whistle
through. Nothing could prove more re-
freshing; but alas science has not yet
furnished the requisite machinery, and
we must swelter and mop our watery
brows and sigh for autumn breezes.
Jack Galliger, arrested Tuesday
night and sent North, will be required to
answer two charges-murder and robbery
both crimes alleged to have been COM
mitted in Illinois. 1t is said that few
months ago Galliger killed brother of
Henry Cooper, whose murder on Jeffer-
son street not long since created some
excitement at the time. He is repre-
scented as desperate man, who will es-
cape en- route if the least opportunity is
offered him.
- The popular newsdealers, Messrs.
Emmons & Son, for the accommodation
of their numerous friends and patrons
in South Memphis and vicinity, have
opened another store at 1893 Main street,
west side, between Gayoso and Mccall
streets, where they will keep a general
assortment of books, stationery, periodi-
Gals, and the best home and foreign
magazines and newspapers from all of
the principal cities of the United States.
Those in quest of news, or the light lit
erature of the day, will find full supply
there.
