r. A. Schreyer was arraigned before
His Honor the Recorder, yesterday, on
the charge of assault and wife-whipping,
aud, Is We reported yesterday, his "bettel
| half" managed to get his finger in heI
1 mouth and chawed il fearfullys Theonly
wav to save his finger, as SchreyeI
thought, was to get It loose, and the only
WAY to do that was to strike her in the
mouth, having in vain tried the gentler
means Of choking. For thus saving his
finger he paid twenty-five dollars. We
know Of some who would give their whole
hand for a less than this amount.
The oath Of A. J. Wheeler, before
I Judge Swayne on Monday, that the
/ cmoluments and profits of the office OF
! sheriff of Shelby County are worth
$40. 900 per GHNala, is rather startling To
Z some OF cur people, and illustrates how
much of our money has gone into car
/ ~pet-bags'' during the past four years.
I No wonder Curry elings to the office like
grim death-though ID does seem TO us as
If Sl60.O00 were enough Tor a man, not
even a citizen Of the State when elected to
I the Office. to have made out of one county
especially when he could not get the
vote of one in one hundred of the tax
4 payers of that county. Za
We have received a communication
/ from a friend who inveighs very severely
against Mr.. Johnson, our worthy Mayor,
/ for wis he cOnsiders his ver-OfhciOusness
in clearing the sidewalks and street cor
I mers Of fruit vendors. Our friend thinks
the hardship in this case consists, not so
much in the mere act itself as that it is
1 inflicted upon poor and needy persons
who nave already paid, at high rates, for
a license to do what they are 10Y so per-
emptOrily forbidden to do. We hope his
Honor, whom we know TO be actuated by
q spirit of Justice, as well as sense of duty,
will reconsider his action in this matter
and give the fruit dealers the benefit OF
any doubts that may arise as TO the jus
tice of his course.
We yesterday paid a visit to the estab-
| lishmeut, in the Charleston depot yard, OF
Messrs. Order, WaIdran & Co., manufac-
turers of the celebrated Alabama lime.
which is made at their kiln in Franklin
county, Ala, and which is said by all who
have used il to be superior to any lime in
the market. The tor from which it is
made is a nearly pure carbonate Of lime,
losing only five per cent. in burning, and
retaining It's shape, density and sonOrous-
ness to a very remarkable degree after
being cOnvertedinto quicklime. The quail
tiles claimed for this oxide of calcium
are. that /. is freer from foreign matter
than most other lines; for strength it has
no superior; it Stacks quickly; it does not
pop out: it works cool; it is very white;
il is packed in well seasoned Hour barrels
four of which will go as far as FIVE of any
other kind of lime barrels. If this is not
a sufficient showing in its favor, we will
say that it can be delivered here at a price
which no other lime can compete with.
It is brought hither in bulk oy the car
IOad-the cars being run by a side track
up to the warehouse of Order, Waldran
& Co, where it is either packed in barrels
Tor shipment or sale to merchants, or sold
loose to the mechanics in such quantities
rs they may desire it. The ard of the
! firm viii appear in our columns in a few
days.
-Agentleman and brother Mason IL good
standing. now residing in this city, but
who was a member of Hamilton lCanada)
Lodge s. (St. JOhn's) and knew the old
gentleman" alluded TO, sends Us the fol-
lowing from the Hamilton tCanada) Spec
tGtOr Of a recent date. We give it prom
iueut insertion in this department Of the
APPEAL, believing it viii interest all our
Masonic readers. The Spectator says:
death, on Thursday last, of Mr.. Charles
McCue, of IngersolI, aged ia years. From
a recent memoir in the Craftsman we
learn that Mr.. McCue was born in the
year 1907, joining the Masonic order, of
which the Craftsman is the exponent in
Canada, sufficiently early in life to give
him SO years standing, n to justify his
then b~iOgrapher in claiming him as the
OId6s living Mason in the world. Mr..
McCue had been initiated in Lodge 404,
Ballenderry, County Antrim, ireland, Of
which place we believe him to have been
a native, and was at the time Of his death
a member Of Lodge Is (St. JOhn's), Inger-
soil, the brethren whereof united on Sat
urdsy in paying the last tribute OF respect
to tie remains Of certainly the oldest
Mason, and very probably the oldest
man, of whom this generation has marked
the Translation.
The St. Louis Democrat of Monday
has the following in regard TO a gentleman
well known in these parts-detective
Billy Rider: "a lively runaway occurred
on Fifth street yesterday afternoon, by
which Billy Rider, the occupant of
a light buggy, was thrown from it
and considerably cut and bruised.
The horse was stopped near the
LacIede Hotel before the buggy was
much damaged. Rider IS the gambler
who the Memphis papers stated was muir
dered in that town about a year ago, at
which time be was employed as a detec-
tive there. He is well known in this city,
as he had lived here for many years pre-
vious to his departure for Memphis, some
eighteen months ago, soon after which
it was reported that be was murdered.
The particulars of the murder were given
very minutely, and how 1t happens that
he has returned alive and well was not
explained, although the very Identical
yesterday drove up street as large as life
and twice as natural. Rider is considered
a quiet and inofensive man until inter
fered with, but when aroused is probably
tbs most reckless and dangerous charac-
ter in this vicinity, as he will then fight
any one, and &C such times is likely to
handle a huge bowie with uncomfortable
skill and execution. He is the man who,
at the MeCooIe aud CobUrn hasco, seized
the ropes and carried them into the woods
to prevent the ring from being formed.
Although an effort was made to recapture
them, Rider, with a formidable knife, kept
the crowd at bay and swOre to kill the
first man who laid a hand upon them.
The fraternity, knowing him OF old, pru-
IDENTIFY RETAINED from any hostile lemon
stratiOn, and Rider retained possession Of
the ropes until he chose TO allow them to
be used"
Mack Moody, j. Henderson, Gus.
DavO, Thos. Bradshaw and Josh. Brad
shaw were engaged Monday evening at
the saloon OF one Moody, on DeSoto
street, in playing cards, when officer Lou
den spoiled the game by arresting the
whole party. They were fined twenty
five dollars each yesterday by the Re
cOrdsr, with the exception of Moody,
vino was assessed forty dollars on account
Of permitting gaming in his saloon. Hen
dersOn, Davo and Bradshaw had forfeits
sufficient to pay their fines, but refused
TO do SO, al the instance Of their attor-
ney, who made no motion Of appeal or gave
any notice tina the evidence should be
taken down, but hurried of eagerly to
the Municipal Court room to get out a
writ Of hd6eGS corpus, which was granted,
and also an order from the same court
for the iaStanter appearance Of ;. l..
Bariuds, Clerk of the Recorders Court,
before His Honor, Judge Foute, the
~instdnteT ordering him to bring with him
the money and effects Of said i've often

hGbeGs corpus WIS not served at the same
time, but from some neglect was left be.
hind, and, wheni il was served, only two Of
the hvemen we're in custody Of b station
house keeper, who made returns TO this
effect, be having released the other three,
as they had paid their fines, and therefore
he had 10 further control over their per-
sons. The Attorney tried TO prove they
we're still in CUSTODY OF the keeper of the
s-tatiOn-house, and the case was continued
until to-day at three pm. 1t is rumored
that both Recorder Scales, and his clerk,
mr.. 5 L. Barinds, who is an able, eth
Gent, n what is more, polite and gem
tlemanly young man., VIII be arrested
for contempt Of court. A certain station
house lawyer was loud in his denuncia-
tons or both yesterday, and was awfully
wrathy about the way things were man
aged at the station-house.
