MEMPHIS, July Forrest M. Powell, who
on Saturday night attempted to kill X. w.
Shelton, was yesterday committed for trial in
default of $4,000 bail. Shelton had published
n card charging Powell with having deserted
his wife, and Powell called on him demanding
retraction, which was refused; he then fired Mt
Shelton, the ball striking his arm. The
statement of the New York HerdIds Knoxville
correspondent, that Commissioner of Registration
Boughter had issued five thousand registra-
tions before being enjoined by Williams, the
former registrar, is incorrect. Boughter had pos
session of the Office but two days before the in
junction was served, and during that time not
one hundred certificates were issued.
f. D. Lindsay and John Glass, noted horse
thieves, have been arrested and committed with
out bail. The former was identified in a crowd

BALTIMORE, July There is quite n fierce
controversy now going on between United States
Marshal Goldsborough and the Baltimore An,e-

borough, for whom Judge Bond was bondsman,
at Bonds dictation summoned a thoroughly

to have Alexander Fulton, Supervisor of Inter

found against Fulton. The quarrel is sharp and
spicy, tending altogether to beget serious dis

delayed this week one day by the annual celebra-

on the market. The legal tenders have diminished

the previous week, makes an aggregate OF s943 800
To offset this in part, there has been gain of
about sl5O,00O in specie The loans have increased
s276,549 and the deposits sls536O. BY these figures
it would appear that the banks are poorer in re-
