A Terrible BallOOning Accident.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 2-At Paoli, Or
anse county. Ind. Saturday. Professor
Wilbur made arrangements for balloon
ascension. He was to be accompanied
by George II. Knapp. editor Of the Or
ange county Union" As they were
getting into the balloon the cords gave
way. and they only succeeded in grasp
ing the ropes as the balloon rose. Knapp
let go and fell thirty feet without serious
injury.
Professor Wilbur held on and attempt
ed to climb into the basket, but was un
able to do 80. and the balloon shot up
ward rapidly with Wilbur hanging below.
The spectators were thrilled with horror
at the terrible scene. which ended in
dreadful manner. AT height of about
one mile the doomed man let 90 his hold
and came whirling to the earth.
As he approached the earth he was
feet foremost, then spread out horizon
tally, then doubled up. turned over. and
then Strengthened out with his head
downward. AS he struck the earth he
fell upon his head and back. His head
was mashed into an undistinguishabla
mass. and his body was bruised and
crushed horribly.
The body made an indentation in the
ground eight inches deep and it rebound
ed four feet from where it struck. The
professors young wife and little daughter
we're on the ground, and witnessed the
terrible affair. The remains of the un
fortunate man were properly cared for,
and buried at Paoli yesterday afternoon

The Cannon.Mor.e Homielde.

This forenoon Capt. Wynn Cannon
was brought before Justices Winters,
Burke and Elliott, on warrant charg-
ing him with the murder of Hold Morse
The Second Circuit Courtroom, where
the investigation is progressing, has
been crowded during the day with the
friends of the respective parties. 1t
is quite evident that there is strong
prejudice existing in the minds Of
the gambling fraternity against Cap
tain Cannon, as it is also evident
there is correspondingly strong feel
ing in favor Of the prisoner among our
citizens generally. 1t is q feeling of
caste, the exhibition of which is not cal
culated TO improve whatever good under
standing may exist between these re-
spective classes. The examination of
the witnesses for the State has been GO
ing on during the day. eliciting no new
material fact The examination may
close sometime this afternoon, and may
possibly go over to tomorrow, provided
the counsel engaged insist on making
long speeches to the bench of justices.
The only question in issue is whether
or not the offense committed is a baila-
BILE one-if SO, the friends Of Captain
Cannon are prepared to give any amount
of bail to appear at the next term of the
Criminal Court and to answer whatever
charge may be brought against him by

Money.

There is a slight improvement noticed
in the demand for money, indicating in
creased vitality in commercial affairs,
but the requirements of the trade are
still largely below the means at the COM
mand Of the different banks and bank
ing houses, and discounts on prime com
mercial paper are readily obtained at
10 to IL per cent. On the street the
rates range from u to q per cent per
month, with very little desirable paper
seeking investment
The movement in exchange, both as
to offerings and demand, is very light,
with no transactions reported between
banks to-day. In buying the banks
take commercial bills at par and sell
checks on New York at ic premium.
Transactions in coin are light to-day,
with only small purchases of gold at
ILL.,
Local stocks and uneurrent money
are alike quiet. Bank of Tennessee
money, old issue, is scarce at SO to 9Oc
buying and selling, and the new issue
dull at 40 to 45c. Memphis skies, cur
rency issue, were offered upon the street
to-day at Coo, but up to a late hour had
not found a purchaser, 59c being the
best dealers bid reported. The gold
issue is worth Ga to 56c. $4,000 in
Arkansas bonds we're upon the market
to-day, but failed, so far as we were able
to learn, to find a purchaser, recent de-
velopments by the Democratic as we'll
as Conservative Republican press of
that State regarding the issue Of certain
bonds Of that State having had the
effect to materially weaken the price Of
Arkansas securities in Eastern markets
as well as this. Railroad and insurance
stocks are quiet and unchanged.

The STATE warrant business.

"A stranger would imagine from the
number of warrants sworn out before ouI
city magistrates against the same per
son for the same offense that justice
never slept in Memphis, but was awake
and watchful by day and night. BY way
Of illustrating this statement, the case Of
Captain Wynn Cannon exposes the folly
Of such proceedings, and we only take
this case as means Of commenting upon
the loose system Of issuing State war
rants, thereby causing clash Of juris-
diction among magistrates, which al
ways reflects discredit upon courts.
In the Cannon case, so soon as it was
known that Hold Morse had died, the
Coroner, as was his duty, swore out a
warrant before Esquire Elliott for the re-
arrest, Of the defendant, on the charge Of
murder. Some other person, acting on
his own volition or instigated by advisers,
swore out another warrant before Es-
quire Burke, and still another law-abid-
ing citizen swore away at q warrant be-
fore Esquire Winters. Here were three
warrants against the same person for the
same ofense. And now comes the clash
of jurisdiction between the magistrates
Yesterday in the Cannon-Morse case
the attorneys argued the question Of
jurisdiction for two hoars before Justice
Burke, and in this way valuable time
was lost and the legal investigation of
the case was interfered with through the
zealousness of individuals who should
have left the matter in the. Hands of the
officials. Knowing whereof we speak
on this warrant questionable being but
one case among many others-it is OBJ
vious that the law contemplated no such
ridiculous proceeding. Any person can
swear out warrant on information and
belief, although he knows nothing
of his own knowledge Of the
case in point. In the case on
hearing yesterday, in order to unite
the Gordian knot, it was agreed to per-
init Justices Burke, Winters and Elliott
to try the case this forenoon. This prop
osition satisfied all parties, reconciled
the, three antagonistic warrants, avoided
the vexed question Of jurisdiction, but
hampered the case in a manner not con
templated by law, and entirely unne-
cessary. The defendant, Cannon entered
into bonds in the sum Of $780, for his
appearance at ten o'clock this forenoon
at the Second Circuit Courtroom, At
another time we will show up this ques-
ton in the light of costs. ad

A Charity sermon.

There have been large sums Of money
raised in this city for the relief of the
poor and suffering of other countries.
The pious and benevolent have been So
licited for funds to christianize the Hea-
then Chinee, the outcasts Of Booraboola
Pha and the barbarians of Timbuctoo,
and yet, as John Randolph said "the
Greeks are at our doors" In many To-
calities the sound Of drunken revelry,
intermingled with profanity, floats out
on the midnight air. Crime raises its
horrid front unchecked by Christian in
fluence; drunkenness is rapidly increas-
ing; and the station-house is filed
nightly with homeless wanderers, un-
able to find employment or procure
food. The charity of the world is too
often kind Of telescope philanthropy,
which can see nothing except at re-
mote distance. Great sympathy is ex-
pressed land properly for the French
and German sufferers, for the famine
stricken people of Persia, but a micro
scopic glance could detect world of
suffering in our midst OF course no
body is to blame; yet great good could
be done if the charity raised annually in
Memphis was distributed inteligently
among the unfortunate Greeks at our
DOORS ...

Trade.

In the general market to-day business
is confined almost exclusively to filling
small country orders and light jobbing
transactions to the city trade, and in the
leading branches but little is being done.
The receipts of Western produce are
light, especially in grain and feed, in
consequence of which holders Of hay
and grain are disposed to advance prices;
choice timothy hay is scarce at $2S to
$50. Corn in small quantities has been
sold during the past day or two at So to
Coo for mixed and white shelled. Oats
are in light demand, but held firmly at
46 to 47c from store. Bran is held firm
ly at ST. per ton, with moderate sup.
ply and fair jobbing demand Groceries
are quiet and generally unchanged Our
merchants are now receiving large stocks
recently purchased, and are making pre-
parations for large fall trade, which
they undoubtedly will have. Flour is
quiet and prices generally unchanged;
we note sales to-day of two carloads
XXX and fancy grades at Sc 40 to Z 80.
Corn meal is firm, with light stock and
fair demand at So 05, with an advancing
tendency in prices. Provisions are weak,
with mess pork selling to the city trade
at $l2 10. Bacon clear sides, Sc; shoul-
ders, 6lc. Lard is dull and lower; sales
of 20 kegs Whitaker's winter refined are
reported to-day at lOlc, being the lowest
price of the season. Canvased hams
are steady at l24 to l54c, as to quality
and brand. Bagging is somewhat irreg-
ular, owing to competition, with sales OF

A Brace Of Lunatics.

Esquire Miller held an examination
yesterday under the writ de lunaticO an
q,tirendo upon the mental condition Of
two inmates of the Adams street station
house. One of. the parties, Thomas
Manning, was discovered to be out Of his
right mind from the effects Of fever, and
was in a dangerous condition. He
needed medical care and attention, and
ought to have been carried to the hos
pital. The other man, John II. Patty,
is an old citizen Of Memphis, and is
quite crazy. He believes himself a High
Priest Of the order of Melchisedek, and
has been ordered and empowered to
preach and convert the hsathens in
Memphis, of whom he insists there is a
goodly number. This sensible conclu-
sion rather startled the Justice and made
him doubtful of the insanity Of the High
Priest.) The medical attendant was
disposed to believe that Mr.. Patty was
not in sound mind. Justice Miller ar
rived at the conclusion that Patty had
gone insane on the subject of religion;
and that nothing could be more insane
than his idea of converting the heather
Memphians by the force Of apostolic
blows and knocks. @

pistol Practice ON the streets.

Early this morning the residents Of
Madison street, near Main, were startled
from their slumbers by the sweet notes
of the pistol breaking forth on the morn
ing air. The windows Of many buildings
were Immediately crowded by white fig
ures, who were eager to see the result OF
the shooting. A hoarse voice cried out
"halt" and four Shots were fred in
rapid succession near the corner of Main.
1t was soon learned that the private
Waterman, Mr.. Hite, discovered negro
endeavOring to enter store on Main,
near Madison, and on threatening to
shoot him if he did not surrender, the ne
gro took that liberty first, and shot the
Waterman through the left cheek, inaict-
ing a severe and painful wound The
other shots we're fred by Hite after the
retreating darky, who made his escape
in a successful manner. The moral Of
this story is-never let a burglar take
such an unseemly liberty first.
