THE GILBERT TROUPE.

Although last night was one fthe most,
If not the most disagreeable night, of the
winter scason-the wind was high, snow
fell and it was bitter cold-the Athen-
cum was we'll filled. "Streets of
New York was the play, and we
believe We speak the sentiment of ev-
erv one present whan wa assert that
it is one of the best dramas ever put upon
the stage in this city. Mr.. Simcoe Lee
rendered his part to perfection, while Mrs.
Fox, Katie Gilbert and Mrs. Jennie Gray
son, and Mcssrs. Grayson, Fox, Jas. Gill
bert, Anderson, and the entire troupe did
their parts in manner to merit the praise
of everybody.
"Collecn Bawn," will not, as heretofore
announced, be presented tonight. Owing
to circumstances which the management
have been unable to avoid, they are COM
PEELED to make this announcement. 1t
will however, be produced tomorrow
evening.
Tonight the great emotional drama Of
Camille, or the fate of Coquette," will be
produced, with Mrs. Bette Gilbert GRAY

MURDER ANT LYNCH LAw-Two MEN
KILLED, OLE HUNG AND ANOTHER
woUNDED--A DESPERATE ARRAY,
One OF the most terrible ARRAYS that
ever occurred in West Tennessee took
place at Union city, during Monday night.
The circumstances as detailed to us
are about these
On the evening in question, Monday
the Waterman at the depot at Union city
saw man by the name Of folly, trying
to get into freight car standing on the
track at that city. The Waterman asked
folly what he wanted and was answered
that 1t was "none of his d--n business"
The Waterman endeavored to drive him
away, but Tolly drew revolver and red
at him, the ball taking effect in the
shoulder. The report of the pistol
attracted the attention Of policeman,
named Kline, who at once come to the as
sistance of the Waterman. As soon as
FOLLY saw Kline, he commenced shooting
ut him, tho first shot taking eff
feet in his left breast near the
heart. Kline turned and walked
back to the hotel, and before he could fn-

Cairo on Monday with one of the Union
City express robbers, the man Levi Far
rington, had just few minutes before ar
rived in that town, and with his prisoner
was stopping at the hotel. Tolly was put
in the same room with Harrington. The
news of the shooting of Kline and the
Waterman spread through the city, and
created great excitement. A mob gathered
and declared their intention to put folly
beyound the power of ever doing any
more mischief in this world They wen
to the hotel and to the room where the
two men were confined. Harrington, who
was lying n.the bed, heavily ironed will
handouts and shnckles, was mistaken fo
Tolley. He was set upon and shot T.
death in his bed, while Tolly, up to thi
time had not been touched. When 1t wa
found out by the mob that they had kille,
the wrong man, the excitement grew NOR,
intense and the whole town seemed to b.
frenzied. 1t was determined that Tolly
should pay the penalty, and q rush
was made for the room in which he wa,
confined. He was taken from the hote
and short distance from town, where h
was hung to the limb Of tree.
Thus ended one of the most terrible trag
edys it has ever been our lot to record
The above are the details of the fearful
ARRAY as told to us by gentleman VIII,
saw and convorsed, yesterday, with Al
eyewitness Of the whole transaction.
