THr NEW MEMPHIS THEATER.-The
great sensation looked for SO long came
off at the New Memphis last night, and
was witnessed by house overlooking
with the fair danes and elegant SWANS
of the city and county. The perform
ance was, of course, novel, and every one
of the vast audience gave special atten-
ton. Now and then the applause would
90 up whenever the corps de ballet would
exhibit some unusual feat in the dancing,
which was indeed beautiful to look
on, transporting one in Imagination
to the land Of fairies. The stock were
not so well versed Is their parts as they
should have been, but did sot mar the
performance but little. The transforms
tiou scene was, indeed, something ap-
parentsy could only exist in the mag
ination and 50 far surpasses everything
of the kind heretofore. that language is
inadequate to descibe ITS beauties.
Tonight the fashionables turn out in all
their gorgeous beauty to make their
weekly round, and We feel assured that
no lady or gentleman will leave the house
without being highly delighted.

THREE DISGUISED MEN KIDNAr AND MURDER
APHYSICIAN.
The Nashville Banner of June lth has the
following account of the latest phase of ruff
tiiansm in Tennessee:
Zone of the most startling occurrences
which has for some time come to our knowl-
edge was the spiriting away last Monday
night OF DR., McAdams, lunlerly of Lewis
burg, but recently residing at Chapel Hill,
Marshall county. On the evening of last
Monday young man named Dr.. McAdalns,
with seven others, members of an amateur
string band, met at Miller's store, Chapel
Hill, for the purpose of practice. The door
of the store being closed, the young men
prepared for their evenings entertainment.
But soon after they had tuned their instru
ments there came knock at the door. DR..
McAdams kept playing banjo while com.
panion opened the door. A man dressed
in red and white spotted clothing and wear
ing u mask made his appearance, followed
by another who carried long rope, and by
third holding his hands at his side, while
three others remained outside the door,
The first, without uttering a sound, took
hold of Dir. McAdams' arm and quietly pull.
ed him of the counter, while another of the
band threw hin violently to the floor. His
hands and feet were then tied with the rope.
At this unookedior outrage upon his per-
son and liberty DR.. McAdams said: i
know you, every one OF you, but l want to
die like soldier
"The leader, endeavoring to disguise his
voice, responded: We will show you how
to treat traitors
Cdr. McAdams was then taken out ofthe
house, to the great CONSERVATION ofhis COM
panions. So completely were they taken by
surprise that not one of them offered to rem
der any assistance. After the three villains
who were inside had conveyed their burden
out into the yard, they were joined by the
other three and went down the road toward
Duck River. They had not proceeded a
great distance before they met Mr.. John
Robertson, who was riding horse. In a
disguised voice one of the band remarked to
Mr.. Robertson, calling the latter by name,
We want your horse what do you want
with it?' Mr.. Robertson asked. I'VE want
your horse to put this man on. You will
