DoubIe Tragedy at walden.

The Avalanche of this morning has an
account of frightful tragedy which
transpired at Walden, on the Mississippi
Central railroad, on Monday night. A
magistrate of the town was awakened
from his sleep by a party of hilarious
young men, and becoming irritated at
their remarks, fred a pistol several
times among them, instantly killing two
of the party. He afterwards escaped,
and made his way on foot to the next
station, south of Walden, where he got on
board of the upward-bound train at an
early hour yesterday morning.
Upon the arrival of the train at Walden
crowd gathered to search the cars.
The magistrate hid himself in water
closet, and refused to come out until the
mob promised to protect and give him a
fair, lawful trial. Upon this being
agreed to he came out and gave himself
up, and was taken of, the train passing
on its way without further molesta-
ton.
The names of the parties could not be
obtained by Mr.. Glenn, but he learned
that the perpetrator of the tragedy as
serted that, if allowed an impartial
hearing, he would be able to prove him
self justified There was much excite
ment manifested among the people
about Walden owing to the tragic oc-

MEMPHIS BATHING RESORT.
An Institution for the Good of the
People

People.
We had the pleasure, yesterday, of ex-
aiming, in the Office of architect Cook,
the plan and drawing Of building
which, when completed, will be rare
triumph of architectural skill and taste,
and at the same time will be blessing
to the masses of our people. The object
is to establish cheap bathing resort
where every convenience will be sup
piled. In other parts of the building
will be a social hall, merchants ex-
change and auction room, gallery of
arts, concert and literary hall and gym
nasium. The first and second stories
will be twenty feet high each, and the
third and fourth sixteen each. The
front will be seveuty-four and the depth
one hundred and forty-eight feet. The
style is a beautiful combination of the
moresque and oriental. Wide verandas
will adorn three Of the stories, and above
will be an observatory. The cornice
supports an Apollo driving four horses
and troops of dolphins and mermaids
into the sea. The whole structure will
be surmounted by magnificent dome
of glass and iron. The front of the
building will be of white, black and
green marble. The architect is to be
Mr.. James B. Cook, and proprietor DIR.
A. L. Plough, who is the protector. The
ground selected is the present site of
Burr 4 Aiken's carriage shop, on Second
street, between Adams and Washington.
Thirty or forty thousand dollars have
been secured already, and the work will
probably be commenced in few months.
The institution is designed to be an or
nament and benefit to Memphis, as
well as profitable investment for the
stockholders.

COLORED BASE BALL.
Capital Material for the Chain


T-7TTf'T Gang. I0Itf
The colorcd base ball brigade is one
Of the greatest nuissances about the
suburbs of the city. Enough of lazy,
thieving niggers swing baseball bat to
raise thousand bales Of cotton, If they
would They loll around in day time
and steal at night A majority Of them
ought to be on the chain-gang or in the
penitentiary. The people, especially
those who live around the commons on
Court street extended, have been an
noyed by these loud-mouthed, brawling
Migrants beyond all endurance. Mayor
Johnson, we believe, ordered the crowd
to be dispersed on Sundays, which may
have been done a few times, but they
keep Sunday in their own happy style
at least seven days in the week. Yes
terday afternoon little fiacas occurred
between the baseball gang and citizen,
which came near being serious. Mr..
Smith" (?) one of the sufferers of the
neighborhood, has large flower yard,
where the base ballers frequently send
their balls. They generally rush over
the fence pell nell, crush the beds
and break down the flowers and
shrubbery until they find the ball.
Mr.. Smith has repeatedly warned them
to keep out. Yesterday evening at sun
down the usual baseball came crashing
through the shade-trees, and fell in the
garden. The runners came double-quick,
as usual; the proprietor of the grounds,
like King William, resolved to meet the
aggressors on the border He ordered
them to keep out; they hung around on
the fence some time, and used some in
sulting language Two of them we're
grown. Mr.. Smith started down to the
fence, when one of them fired brick at
him; he returned the shot with another
brick, and the crowd retreated He
chased them out on the common, where
the rest were sitting on the ground play
ing cards. These reserves seized their
bats, formed a line of battle, and adj
vanced to clean him out. Mr.. Smith,
seeing he was about to be overpowered,
called to his wife to bring his gun, re-
peating rife which he carried through
the war with some effect The lady
promptly appeared with the gun at
right shoulder shift arms. Seeing that
Mr.. Smith was man of reason, and
that the forcible argument coming
through the gate would be too much for
their logic, Africa called a council of
war. 1t lasted just one-sixtieth of sec
ond They made limber-jack move
ment to the rear and Bull Run skedad
die for Brinkley avenue. Smith was
master of the field for once, and it is
certain that no more baseball was
played there during the evening. That
gun kills at thousand yards, and is
loaded vet.

MONEY.
The money market continues without
any material change. The demand for
accommodations at the banks is compar-
atively light, while that on the street is
somewhat more active than that of yes
terday, and it is with difficulty that any
thing but good paper, secured by unex-
eeptionable collaterals, is negotiated at
less than q per cent. per month. In
some instances 81 per cent was asked
and obtained on 3O-day paper that was
placed in the hands of curb-stone
brokers with instructions to secure the
funds at anything under 4 per cent.
Bank rates are unchanged. Exchange
is scarce and firm at par buying, and /
premium selling, with but few if any
cotton bills making. Scrip and stocks
are generally quiet, with no noticeable
demand except for county warrants and
city bonds, The former are purchased
by dealers to-day at 69@70, and sold at
1904. Very little of the latter is Of
fered; dealers would purchase at 40, and
could readily dispose Of it at 81, Ten
nessee money is taken at 20, where deal.
ers buy for customers. City scrip is
quoted nominally at 6O@6l, and sold at
62@63. Gold opened in New York at
ll4l, and at noon had declined ]. Gov
eminent securities opened irregular,
with an advance of ! in 5-20s of go, l
in 500 Of "a, and / in 5-2Os Of '65:
also, advance in new 5-2Os of '65, '6T
and '6S, and Ia decline of ! in 1910 bonds.

His magic performance cannot fail to
interest and delight both the old and

and the rapid succession Of each part of

A LUXURY OF THE PERIOD Regarded
from the economic standpoint, Sea Moss
Farine appears to over-shadow every
other vegetable nutrient 1t contains
as we are informed on good scientific
authority-nearly ninety per cent. OF
nourishing, fattening gelatinei and Of
all gelatine substances used in cooking,
it is said to be the cheapest by over fifty
per cent, as well as the most digestible.
We give these statements, which are au-
thentieated by the signatures -of men OF
eminent reputation, as vouchers for the
opinions we have Eentured to express on
the economic importance of the new ar
ticle of diet. As to its deliciousness, the
proof of the pudding is in eating it"
and we feel confident that no man or
woman who has once eaten of blanc
mango, pudding, custard, cream, Char
lotte Russo, or any other delicacy pre-
pared with this marine Godsend, will
deny its claim to rank among the table
luxuries of the period cod
