FrRE.%About one O'Clock on Wednes-
day, fire was discovered in the kitchen on
the premises Of Mr.. Ed. Burke, near the
railroad crossing Of Main street. The build
ing and the smoke house adjoining were

total loss. The Phoenix had insurance to
the amount Of $500 upon it.

The Chattanooga Herald is the name oil a
new paper published in Chattanooga, Ten

first number is before US, full Of life, hber-

Ell. Haynes, who represents himself as
lawyer from Huntsville, Ala, was com
mitted to Jail on Tuesday last, in this city,
under charge of petit larceny. Haynes
pleads mania potu, or temporary insanity
! from too much whisky. He is evidently
man of some culture, and claims TO be
| graduate OF the Lebanon Law School. His
case is a sad one. We hope If he has friends
anywhere that they will come to his relief,
and if he deserves assistance that he will
receive it. Haynes was in the law school
in the years 1851.
WAS lie SHOT OR SHOT AT9-Aswe were
vending our homeward way about 10
/ o'clock Wednesday night, just after pass
| ing the Foundry, we were startled by
pistol crack just of to the right Of us.
| Shortly after we heard negro voice cry
out, GPm killed sure" and about the same
| time he streaked it around the corner and
M towards Main street, followed a little
way behind by his pursuer. Just after the
hindmost one passed the bridge, cap was
snapped again, but the pistol hung fire.
The police had reported nothing Thursday
morning. Ne didn't run as though he was
badly "killed" and perhaps he was mis-
taken.
The advertisement in another column, Of
the magnificent and whole hearted, whole
soul merchant, VIM. R. Moore, of Memphis,
| will command, as it deserves TO do, the at
tention of all who wish to purchase goods
for the retail trade. Mr.. Moore is live
merchant, and all who deal with him once
will DO so again and again. The Appeal
says:
The addenda, to the advertisement of Mr..
VIM r. Moore, which appears on the nrst
! page of this paper this morning, exAtDits
an unseish spirit worthy OF lmtauon Dy
| every merchant in the city. Had Memphis
many such disiuterested friends her growth
would astonish even those who looked
carelessly on while Chicago came up IN
night.
About ten days ago, an old citizen OF
McNairy county, JnO. c. Proctor, was am
= bushed and shot by a negro named Warren
, Perkins, alias Hurst. The dastardly deed
was perpetrated two miles northeast OF
Corinth, Miss, near the Tennessee line.
The motive seems to have been robbery!
since there was no misunderstanding be
tween the parties. The murderer was hired
: As a Iaborer in the immediate neighbOr
; hood Of the assassin alton, and disappe areC
very soon thereafter, going first to Purdy
0 where he remained one night, and onl!
d showed himself to a few friends, as he sup
d posed. He came TO this city last Saturday
but was closely pursued by a son Of tn
/ murdered man. Our vigiiant police wer
n posted on Tuesday, and the night Of tina
e day he was caught at a negro ball in thl
l. city, shaking his festive foot as if nothin
had happened. He denied his name q
"a first, but being recognized by parties VIII
A. knew him well, he confessed as to his nam
IN but will not admit that he is guilty. IL
eircumstantial evidence isvery strong, an
we think he will surely pull hemp wltho'
foothold. Warren was member Of Brow
81 lows militia, and doubtless in its ranl
NO learned TO both steal and murder; if he d
not he was not very apt scholar. He pa
II ticipated in The Purdy riot, and for tn
alone his goddess neck ought TO be broke
n and we shall think justice has been cheat
sr- out of victim if he does not end his u
in hallowed career on the gallows. War;
ut was carried TO Corinth on " ednesday, u
ost der charge OF officer Perkins Of our CT
police.
