The extent and degree of perfection to
which the mandatory of candy, toys, etc.
has been brought in this city is worthy Of
remark. No one can have failed to have
observed the heavy shipment from the city
during the Christmas holidays, and for
some time previous and even after. Thous-
ands and hundreds of thousands of pounds
of the article of candy alone, of every va
riety of plain, fancy and assorted, Is man
ufactured weekly in the city. One Of the
most extensive establishments Of this sort,
either here or elsewhere, is that of MeSsrs.
Iron & Thompson, No. 253 Deader-
lex street. This is really one
of the manufacturing features of the city.
They have all the apparatus, appliances and
arrangements pertaining to a first-class
establishment in high degree of perfec-
ton. They also have large capital in
vested in the business, and give steady en-
ployment to nearly one hundred hands.
There is no branch of industrial pursuits
in which the people of our State are more
deeply and more vitality interested than in
the manufacturing interests and it is a
source of qualification and pride to see
them springing up and going into success
fiji operation throughout the city, and in
deed in all parts Of the State. We mention
this one as a specimen to which this
branch Of industrial pursuits is being
pushed

THE HOPKINsvELLE TRAGEDY.
Full Particulars of the Killing of
PearCV.

A few days since we published an ac-
count of the killing of John r. W. Pearcy,
ESQ. formerly policeman of this city, and
at the time of the occurrence an acting
policeman in the city of Hopkinsville, KY,
where the unfortunate event happened.
We stated upon the information of parties
as ascertained from the most reliable and
accessible sources at the time by
them. that the shot causing Mr..
Pearcy's death was fired by VIM.
Donohue. We have since learned that he
was not the party. The facts, as au-
thenticated from unquestioned sources are
about these Mr.. Pearcy, at the time OF
the difficulty on Saturday night, was on his
regular beat and in the discharge OF his
duty. While approaching the Atlantic Sa-
loon, he saw the fash and heard the report
of pistol, and saw at the same time two
men enter the saloon. Naturally supposlng
that one or the other of the parties must
have fired the pistol, he followed them, and
discovered that they were Arthur McCardle
and Thomas Hogan, residents OF the town.
He asked who it was that fired the pistol.
They both stoutly denied it, or having any
knowledge as to who it was.
Il know it was one of you, and do not
think that You are treating me Hght, as you
know that 1 am an officer replied Mr..
Pearcy. At this Mr.. McCardle and MIR.
Hogan became angry and excited, and PTS
tolls were drawn. McCardle placed his PTS
tol directly against Pearcy's head, and was
in the al of firing when Donahue grabbed
the weapon which, however, was discharged
at the tine, the ball striking Hogan near
the knee. McCardle then fired a second
time, the ball striking Pearcy, inAicting a
mortal wound, of which he died.
Mr.. McCardle was at once placed under ar
rest, being taken into custody by l.. Bell,
the City Marshal and Mr.. Kelley, assisted
by Mr. Donohue himself The trial will be
had in Hopkinsville on next Tuesday, when
all the facts will be elected. Judge R. T.
Petree, E. Boyd Faulkner, G. A. Champ
lain and J. W. Mcpherson will appear as
attorneys for the prosecution, and they
will be assisted, as we learn, in the case by
the City Council We have not learned the
names of the counsel for the defense. The
case creates a good deal Of interest in
Hopkinsville and vicinity, where We under
stand Mr.. Pearcy had many friends, both
as a citizen and police officer.

EDGEFIELD.
An Agreeable entertainment.


The pipe organ, recently manufactured IN
this city, by S. Hahn, for the presbyterian
Church, Edgeheld, was fully tested last
night. Under the direction OF Prot
Weber, sacred concert was arranged, In
which the choir of the church and num-
Der of volunteers took part. There was an
appreciative audience present, and the con-
cert was in every respect most agreeable.
The programme opened with phantasie
by Prof. Weber, which introduction was
sufficient to satisfy all present that the or
gan was au instrument of great power and
richness of tone, and fully established the
reputation of Mr.. Hahn as an organ buid-
err. It has twelve stops, and all the mod
ern improvements, and as a specimen OF
home manufacture, is highly creditable to
the city.
With such an instrument, and so many
fine voices, the concert proved to be DE,
cided success, and we are certain that an
present spent a most agreeable evening;
The chorus. "Glory be to God on High,
Mozart's 18th Mass, followed the phantasie,
and we have never listened to. better choir
music. although it can be said that IN Ihls
line. there has been excellent singing on
many previous occasions. over the DOT
der" solo by Miss Mollie n. was as
sweet and mellow as the notes OF the lutte
and was indeed perfect gem. The tho
':Protect US through the Night, was also
charmingly sung. The chorus, Great ana
Marvellous, " closed part first. In Fart sec
ond there were several choruses, and Mr..
Pappendick, one of oar best singers sang
Now Heaven in fullest glory shone, a
! solo well adapted to his fine voice. Inc
solo I'm splendor bright, by Mr.. jackson
| of Christ Church choir, was also highly
complimented. The programme conciud-
ed with the grand chorus, Heavens are
telling" Capt. Thatcher, the organist OF
this Church, assisted in the concert, and
in the success which attended it.
In addition to the handsome organ that
| forms a part of the furniture of the church
the building has recently been thoroughly
remodeled and repaired. The pulpit and
seats have been handsomely grained by
Barthel Joseph, the ceiling frescoed BY
VIM. Hearn, plastic state roof put on by
Walker & Co, new furnaces furnished b!
Phillips Buttorf & Co., chandeliers by j.
W. Wilson & Co., and last, but not least
R. Splitter donated two lightning rods t
the church.

Yesterday afternoon during the trial of
the negroes, Long and Childress, before
Justice LapSley, a court scene occurred
which was not exactly on the docket.
When the trial had reached its highest
point of interest, a creaking and a moving
and giving-way generally was observable
about the room. Suddenly the flooring of
the Office fell through and there was reg
ular caving in and scattering. A goodly
portion of the floor fell through, creating
a stampede of witnesses. spectators, ne
groes and idlers generally. That Court
stood adjourned till this morning

Returned and Compromised

Ernest Pohl, whose case We mentioned
some time since, has returned to the city.
He has, we are informed, as he says, made
an amicable compromise of matters with
Mrs. P No l, by which she will not
through her agency bring the matter before
the courts as regards alimOny, etc. His
absence in the premises was not of very
long duration.

CARD OF THANKS FROM THE MANAGEMENT.
The Management feel that they would
do injustice to this audience, to the noble
cause of charity, and to the little orphan
children in whose behalf they now speak,
did they permit the occasion to pass with
out appropriate acknowledgement OF the
kindly offices of the various gentlemen who
have contributed, in manifold ways, to the
success of these entertainments. At this
moment they will not undertake to partlcu-
larize by name and deed, but In due time,
will make public acknowledgement IN de-
tail, to each and every one who have rem
dered signal service by contributions and
by volunteer assistance to assure the sue
cess of the concerts. Suffice it for the
present to add, that words can but poorly
express the heartfelt gratitude Of
these. the recipients of their consider
ate and generous favors. And yet, these
little ones have no other coin with which
to acduit themselves of the great obligation.
The mute eloquence of their bright eyes
and Joyous faces, attesting the fullness OF
their gratitude, we are very sure will,
in itself, furnish ample recompense to
donors 80 generous. Rest assured that
the prayers of all good men and women,
for your future happiness in this life and
! the hereafter where all noble actions will
be awarded, viii ascend and mingle with
| those of these little benefciaries, made
happy by your bountiful charity. In help,
ing the orphan of the brave soldier who
freely surrendered up his life at his coun.
t1y's call, in the cause he at least conceived
to be righteous, you do but justice to YOU
own pafrioticympulses, and honor to the
country which claims you citizens. The
orphans of such as fell upon the field Of
battle are all the heritages war has left US
and in caring for these little charges, yor
do not fail to remember that,

This gentleman has manifested great
zeal and efficiency in promoting the IN
terest and success Of the Orphans Concert,
and is entitled TO the thanks Of all con-
cerned His services have been most
highly appreciated by the ladies of the
asylum. We take the occasion to suggest
that in the capacity Of general agent for
the institution Mr. Morrow could be of in
valuable service. the suggestion IS at
least worthy of earnest consideration.

The beautiful weather of yesterday and

very acceptable after the protracted rains.

tinuance our streets would be comparative
ly dry and free from the mud that has kept

markably heavy during the past two or
three weeks. The roads, particularly the
Chattanooga Road, has been crowded to

and every freight car has been brought
into requisition, and the entire available
force has been kept busily at work receiv-
ing, freighting, storing and delivering.
Really, there has been almost freight

RIVER AND WEATHER.

The river at this point has receded about
six inches in the twenty-four hours ending
last evening, and was still falling slowly a,
dark Weather clear and pleasant.
The only arrival yesterday was the Ialls-
man.
The Ella Hughes did not get of as adj
vertised, the water being considered too
high to make an upper Cumberland voy-
age.
The Talisman is the regular packet for
Cairo to-day, at P. M-Capt. Strong COM
manding and Johnny Harper in the office.
The Pittsburg packet st. Charles was
caught in a furious gale below Gallipois
Monday. The waves were tossed nearly as
high as the hurricane deck, and it was
feared for a time that the boat would be
swamped. The officers of that steamer
say it was the severest storm they ever ex-
perienced on the river. The boats lower
guards were slightly damaged, and she was
detained six hours by the storm.
The following in regard to the river at
Louisville is from the COurieJ-2J0UrHGI of
yesterday:
The river yesterday evening was rising
st the rate of about a half inch an hour.
The figures representing the stage OF
the water Tuesday, as published
yesterday morning, we're incorrectly given.
There was 80 feet of water in the canal on
Tuesday, and within the past twenty-four
hours the river has risen three feet. So
that at P. NJ yesterday there was S5 feet
in the canal, and 80 feet In the Indiana
chute. All the indications now are that
the river will soon commence to recede,
oil
lsyee by Saturday evening at the
furthest. The leyee from about the center
of the square between Third and Fourth
streets down as far as Eighth street, Is sub
merged, and presents the appearance of
vast lake. The occupants of all the houses
between these points have vacated their
homes to give the turbid waters full sway.
There were but few arrivals yesterday out
side the regular packets. The weather was
clear and pleasant. People in great num-
bers hocked to the river to view the waste
of waters, which gave the little space of
dry land allotted to wharf purposes an IN
usually lively appearance. =.
LATER.-At II o'clock last night the
river had commenced to recede, and had
fallen up to that hour about one inch.
About IL o'clock several empty barges
broke loose from their moonngs above
Jeffersonville- and passed down the falls,
and the probabilities are that they viii be
a total loss to their owners, as no Efforts
we're made to secure them.
