he valued life a pin. Not that he Is
reckless, and would risk his life in a
desperate venture, but that he has be-
come careless as to what turns up.
While he would probably walk
through an open gate, with the GER
tainty Of being shot to pieces in the
attempt to escape, he would not exert
himself to the extent Of climb
ing over a fence, even
though no danger were incurred.
A few weeks since he made appliea-
ti-n to be sent to Nashville to com

twenty-one years. He was tried, he

would only be necessary for the Sher-

to commit the prisoner to the peniten-

Beal Street Market was thronged
yesterday afternoon with heads of
families purchasing supplies for Sun
day dinner. Meats were only in tOler-
able supply, though some choice cuts
could be seen. Fish, from the river,
was in excess of the demand, and sold
at reduced prices. Vegetables, on ac-
count of the protraeted drought, were
not as plentiful as usual, the supply,
however, being ample for the demand.
Prices ranged; potatoes, &c per quart;
tomatoes, . to Toe per quart; cabbage,
10 to l5c per head; green corn, 15c per
dozen; dry onions, 10cper quart; egg

"A poor unfortunate girl, who, for
nine years past, in variOvs parts OF
the country, has led the life of a cy-
prian, died suddenly at 1910 on Fri
day last. She had returned from
Little Rock on Thursday, and, with
many of her companions, INDUCED in
a drunken Orgie, from the effects of
which she never recovered. She was
known as Belle Norton, and was a ma
tive of New York. While attending
a school situated on the Hudson river,
fifteen miles from her native city, and
when only thirteen years old, she was
seduced bya young Lad not more than
two years older, named Billy Parker,
with whom she remained until re-
turned to her distressed mother by an
aunt, who CHANGED TO meet her on
Broadway. Shortly after her return
home her mother died, when she left
in company with a man named Nor
ton, with whom she lived in st. Louis
for five years. Leaving this last place
she has since resided first in New Or
leans, then in Natchez, then in Nicks-
burg, and for the last two and a half
years in Memphis, where she has been
known to the fancy as a handsome,
dashing and sprightly woman, one OF
the most attractive of the
inmates of Mag Hayden's BldiSon
de'jOje. The Wretched victim
of lust, thus so suddenly called away
in the midst of her sins, and in one OF
the worst of her hours of vice, was
yesterday deeently buried by her COM
panions, who attended her to the
grave. " One more unfortunate gone
to her rest"
