A Young Man Falls From . Three-s1Ory
window and IA Instantly
Killed.

Yesterday about 2 O'Clock q young msln
named ]. G. Frazier fell from q third-sto-
~ window in the rear of the Jackson
block, Main street, TO the area grating
below. He was instantly kiled DR..
Lowry, who has his ofice in the block,
saw the body q few moments Rfterward,
and on examination found that 9 cut was
made over the right eye, two inches long,
severing the artery, and the right thigh
bone was also broken near the hip joint.
Squire Burke was called on TO hold the
inquest & few moments afterward. The
body lay In the passage at the rear Of the
above-named building, where II fell. The
iron grating was clothed with he blood
which flowed from his wounds and
dripped into the ares underneath. His
face was also covered with coagulated
blood, and the big cash In his head looked
horrible. The skull was crushed and
cracked, but the brain was not exposed.
In the course of the inquest, DR..
Lowry was called on by the Squire to ex-
anime the body. No one saw him fall
from the window, but 1t was known ne
occupied the room immediately over
where be was found. The window was up
and some articles which he previously bad
were on the floor, including his hat. He
was talking to some friends at the corner
of Gayoso street q half hour before he SC
cident. He left them to go to his room.
The porter in Craig's seed store heard him
fall, and was the first to discover him. He
was sged twenty-five, of very quiet dis
position. His father is q minister OF the
gospel. He will be buried to-day by his
friends,

oAyoso 4


Last night, ia the ~princely dining-room
of the Peabody hotel, there was assembled
the most brilliant party that was ever ga
thered within Ira Walls-not In b matter
Of beauty, nor dress, nor political notori-
ETY., but brilliant in the matter OF genuine
wit and exuberant nature. The occasion
which called together this jovial party
was the recent legal success Of b Gayoso
gas company, In = law contest which was
carried on for eighteen days In The first
circuit court. The proprietors Of b Pea
body prepared an entertainment worthy
OF the distinguished merit and high social
position that were invited. We noticed
around the festive board: Ex-Governor
Clark, Of Mississippi, Judge 7. W. Brown,
DR.. sykes, the social Judge Thomas
Smith, the Hon. George Garritt,
the brilliant Hon. Msrlsnd L. Per-
kins, Of Chicago, DR.. Irwin, Mr..
Stacey, of Cincinnati, Col Dupre n
Mr.. J. M. Keating, OF the APPEAL, Leon
Trousdale, Secretary Memphis Chamber
Of Commerce, Colonel NJ. d.. L. Stewart,
ex-Sheriff Curry, and other gentlemen
whose faces were not familiar to the eye
Of our man of taste, who took a look in
there during the progress Of the enter
tainment. The dinner was sent up at
sever o'clock. To give a bill OF fare
would not give a proper idea OF what that
dinner was. Il will be enough to say that
1t was got up in the best style Of the
Peabody, and that is saying much. 1t
WIS worthy Of the guests, and the guests
did full justice to tilt was discussed"
The. wine, choicest vintage OF Medoc,
flowed freely. Governor Clarke was brill
liant in his Rfter-dinner remarks. or
course an hour or two were spent in snst-
omy of viands and all that sort of thing.
1t is astonishing how beautifully a man can
bubble over when he has slowed away
several well prepared dishes. When gen.
erous wine was uncorked and the gentle
men had gracefully bowed around at each,
Judge Smith, Brown, Perkins, Gault,
Lyles, Dupree, and the rest of them, rose
in succession and shot of aspeech amid
Ioars OF laughter and storms of cheers.
Our man of taste happening 70 look In at
the moment q OF those brilliant gentle
men was in his happiest vein, and the mu-
steal fuss was most ~uproarous, had no
other remark to make than this, "that's
life" John Donovan was n the cha all
the time.

CARD.
To the Public.

During the last few days an anonymous
hand bill, of the description appropriately
known as a "dodger'' has been circulated
through the city, and many of them sent
anonymously to Dur business men, its
object being to promote the interests of
the Northern and foreign fire insurance
companies represented here, and to in
jure the home companies Of this city.
If it bore the signature of any respect
able person, we might deem it necessary
to reply In detail to some of its misrepre-
sensations, but coming in the shape and
manner that it does, q miserable bantling
which those who wrote and circulated it,
are ashamed to acknowledge, it would
be allowed to pass ~unnoticed if 1t was not
possible that some unsuspecting person
mignt be misled by It.
Those who are at all familiar with insu-
rance matters, will perceive at once how
little reliance 1t deserves, and to all 9TH
ers We desire to say briefiy-thst within
its short space 1t contains more han one
statement which is wholly false, and 9TH
ers which are either gross assumptions or
so nearly approaching the false as not to
be easily distinguished from it-all be-
ing cunningly worded and highly colored,
so as. If possible, to deceive the unthink-
ing reader.
If the person who adopted this means Of
Obtaining business for himself and of in.
juring others, was known, he would be
subjected to the merited contempt of ev-
cry honorable man. His only security
from this is the secrecy in which he has
enveloped himself. We do not doubt
that there sre northern and foreign COM
psnies which are entirely solvent, not
w~ithstanding their recent losses, and we
are glad to know that there are agents
here who would not ~condescend to do
anything that was not strictly honorable.
With them we expect to contend hereafter,
as heretofore, In fair and open competition
for such business as the city offers. We
regret, however, to find that there is an
other who does not hesitate at the Lowest
practices, If by so doing she may hope to
put money In his purse, {" and only regret
that his courage did not equal his desire
for gain, SO that he might dsclare himself
and enable us to treat him as be deserves,

CORRECTION.
The Etna Insurance Company Of
Hartford.

Editors AppeGI-Absence from the CITY
prevented us seeing your statement of in
surance losses as copied from q New York
paper, n published in the commercial
columns of your Sunday mornings issue,
wish now to correct the figures there
in given as the losses of the Ktna, Hart
ford and Phoenix insurance companies In
the Chicago FIRE. Instead of the losses
being for the Esns IS, 200, 900, they are not
over g, OO0, coo; Hartford 81, 500, 900, they
are not over 81, $50. 900; Ph@nix 1880, 900,
they are not over 500, coo, IS we have al
ready stated In your paper heretofore, and
you will please give this insertion as q
correction of the error.
Would state in addition that the Esna,
Hartford and Ph@aix are, and have been,
paying their losses in Chicago as fast as
possible for a full corps of sdjusters for
each company to do. The Ksna had ad-
justed and paid one hundred losses on the
Saturday succeeding the fire, and her
stock sold at $500 per share, a pretty good
evidence of her strength and solvency, as
no other company's stock commanded 50
high a figure. There was also an extract
from a Nashville paper Of the attachment
of Hartford bonds by the policy-holders.
This Is also an error, as the attachment
was made by a party here who sustained
q loss some weeks ago, and whose claim is
not due until the 18th OF November. He
will probably suffer to some extent for
thus attempting to interfere with the COM
psny's business, as 1t is their intention to
sue him for damages.
The public may rest assured that the
losses, standing, etc Of the companies
represented by US are precisely as we have
stated them, Notwithstanding the per-
sistent efforts on the part of some to mis-
represent and exaggerate sklosses of all
the leading agency companiesAA
