The CiTY OF HHLRSA.-Th's elegant boat.
recently completed at Jacksonville. Indiana.
for the Memphis and 81. Louis Packet Com
pany, came to the landing Sunday from ST.
Louis, and was visited yesterday by large
numbers Of admiring steamboatmen and oiti-
zen critics in marine architecture. who scru-
tinized all parts Of the craft closely and then
yielded unqualified praise. Want Of space
prevents US from giving an extended descrip-
ton OF her many fine qualities. She is even
above the high standard Of excellence de-
manded Of al boats built for this line and
bids fair TO become great favorite. 1t was
the intention to make her duplicate Of the
Grand Tower. brought out little over year
ago. but many steamboatmen pronounce her
even superior. Her hull is 80 feet long, with
AZ feet breadth Of beam and eight feet hold.
with dimensions of timbers, planking. etc.,
as required by st. Louis inspection for A No.
boats. Her main engines are % inches d.
ameter Of cylinder and eight feet stroke of
piston. working a water wheel 81 feet in diam
ter. with AZ feet length of buckets. These
engines are supplied with steam from five
boilers twenty-six feet long and forty-four
inches in diameter; four fues in each, She
has all the auxiliary engines so common
10 boats Of her class. Also an inclined
plane freight elevator and every facility for
rapidly moving freight. She is also provided
with powerful steam pump with a separate
boiler. and her fire department is arranged to
perfection. The machinery includes every
modern improvement, and is of sufficient
power to make her the peer in point Of speed
Of any craft of her size on the Southern or
Western waters. In the construction of her
cabin nothing has been spared to make her
all that could be desired by the travelling pub
lie. In style and beauty of finish 1t is equal
to IL it does not surpass any of the cabins
heretofore built. The roster Of officers of the
new craft has been made up of we'll known
names, as follows: Isaac II. Mckee, cap
tain; Will I. Powers, clerk; g. W. Goebell,
second clerk; j. w. Carroll, pilot; j. Parker
pilot; James Fitzgerald, mate; VIM. s. Roe,

MEMPHIS THEArER.-Th evening the
renowned Lydia Thompson comic opera
troupe will appear in the burlesque play,
Blue Beard, or the Mormon and Maiden,
and The Little Militaire. Everybody
will be present to hear those laughabls
songs, "If Ever / Cease to Love- and
His Heart was True to Poll, as rem
dered by this company OF the troupe
and play, New York critic writes as
follows &
II matters not much what the piece
was, although it was named Blue Beard
so long as Miss Thompson appeared in
all her picturesque beauty. The new
members were charming of countenance,
handsome of figure and graceful OF mo-
ton, and the audience present was en-.
tertained with jolly songs, rhymes and
novel jokes, interspersed with eccentric
and may dances, the voluptuousness of
which would steal away the senses and
beguile the audience into mirthful forget
fulness-all of which the performance Of
Blue Beard succeeded in doing. Miss
Thompson was as fresh, as beautiful and
spirited as ever; and sang, acted and
danced with the most complete grace,
calling forth the most enthusiastic ap-
plause of the multitude present, many
of whom appeared concerned in over
whelming the young lady with their
floral tributes, which were showered on
the stage by the bushel OF the new
members of the company, Miss Camille
Dubois created the greatest impression,
and being both beautiful and talented,
will surely become one of the" greatest
fayorites of the troupe. Misses lilly
Earl, Kate Heatchcote, Hetty Tracy,
Lolita Mira and Kate Egerton were all
fayorably received. To Messrs. Harry
Beckett and Willie Edouin, however, the
mirthful success Of the evening was
largely due, their boundless and gro
tesque humor, their expressive actions,
mobile countenances, wonderful dane
ing and quaint yocalsm, combined to
keep the audience in roar of laughter
whenever they were on the stage.

A wels auown Citizen FaIIs from
n stairway and Breaks his Meek;
Early yesterday morning a colored
porter discovered the dead body Of q
man in private alley in the rear Of the
German National Bank, near the corner
Of Main and Madison. 0nthe alarm be-
ing given, crowd Of people soon as
sembled at the spot, and the dead man
was recognized as Mr., ], T. L0nergan,
who resided 9Th his mother at lao
Madison street. Up 10 the time of his
death Mr.. Lonergan was in the employ
ment Of Jones, eCogswell a Bond, gro
GERS, as collector He leaves aIwife, and
one child six years Of age.
Upon examination it was found that
Mr.. Lonergan's neck was broken. The
only marks of violence upon him were
four cuts or bruises on the face, one Of
which was caused by broken jaw, he
having evidently fallen on the side Of
his face and head. He had been seen
the night previous as late as half past
eleven o'clock, in the northern portion
of the city. It's supposed that, being
acquainted with severslgentlemen room
ing in the bank building, he had gone
there to see them, andnot gettinginh he had
started to retrace his steps when, missing
his footing he fell from the platform at
the head Of the stairs, some fifteen feet,
to the grating below. The platform
mentioned has but a slight iron railing
around it, and this is so low as to virtu-
ally afford no protection, and IL would
have been an easy matter for a person,
if stumbling, to fall in exactly the posi-
ton in which Mr.. Lonergan was found,
THE INQUEST a -
Yesterday afternoon Coroner Moffat
summoned jury Of inquest to investi-
gate the cause of death. After hearing
the testimony of several witnesses, the
further investigation was adjourned over
to this morning. This forenoon the in
vestigation was concluded, the jury re-
turning a verdict thatthe deceased came
to his death from accidental causes.

CARELESS USE OF FIREARMS.
Two Persons Accidentally Shot
last Evening. n

Late last evening Thomas Burke, who
resides on the corner of Front and Mar
ket streets, while under the influence of
liquor, was carelessly handling an old
single-barreled pistol. The weapon ex-
ploded, and the charge passed through
his, left hand and struck his halfsister,
Maggie Corners, in the forehead. The
ball glanced upward, passing under the
scalp to the back part of the head, in
flicting severe and dangerous wound.
Burke had his hand amputated by the
surgeon last night. This morning both
parties were doing well and pronounced
almost out of danger. 10
