1t is uriou that Memphis capital viii

Banner says: "Col. Ensley, of Memphis,
has been here for the past week, and has
in contemplation the tearing down of the
City Hotel and erecting a fine block Of
four stores upon its site. The plans have
not yet been adopted. Although the pur-
posed movement depends upon some con-
~tingenoies, it IL very probable that it viii
be msde. The ground upon which the
City Hotel stands is sufficiently extensive
for the erection of an elegant 10 sub
s~tsntial block.
A number of gentlemen and a couple

day a%fternoont to go n search of Eson, who
is accused of killing young Lyles on the
Horn Lake road on Wednesday afternoon.
Deputy Sheriff Bailey was out at the
scene OF the murder shortly after it oc-

parties who were thought TO be a~ccesso-

"A number of colored artists have
rented room in a high house on Main
street below Union, in the upper rooms of
which they practice upon the trombone,
the cymbsls and the hugsg every night
till long past twelve, not u~nfrequently
until the rosy dawn gilds the chimney
tops. Those who attempt to sleep within
four hundred yards OF that place make a
painful failure of il. They toss about
wesrily an their couches, seeking in vain
for silenP repose. A combination is get
ting up among the restless people who are
thus deprived of sleep to get the police
to put q violent stop to the hugag-blow-

"A market man, who industriously
drives q one-horse shay about the city,
filed with vegetables, met with q misfor-
tune yesterday in the shape of a brick-bst,
which came IL violent contact with his

colored FAMILY at the corner of Commerce
street and Center alleT with fresh vegeta-
bles; he, therefore went into their hous6
and politely inquired If they did not wish
to purchase some cabbage. The colored
hesd of the family let the market man
have a brickbst on the Jaw, which knocked
him down and cut him very libersuy.1
