Whig and tribune. [volume] (Jackson, Tenn.) 1870-1877, 1872-11-30


day evening Mr.. Bonnie Malone, Of this
| city, while carelessly handling a double
barreled shot gun, discharged the contents Of
both barrels into his right arm and shout
der. The shot entered near the wrist and
fearfully mangled the muscles Of the arm
TO the elbow, some Of the shot lodging in
his shoulder. The wound is painful and
frightful one, but we hope not fatal. 1t
was one Of those accidents that frequently
occur, and should serve as warning TO
others to be more careful in handling dead
ly weapons.
ALL BosH.-The p. D. says that if he
chad known we held position in the
Great Eastern on the night Of the riot, he
would have staid to see US perform. -
What bosh. No one who witnessed the
speed and agility displayed by him on that
occasion, will ever believe that anything
on earth could have induced him to stay.
HOUSE BREAKING.-On Sunday night
last about ten O'Clock, some one broke
into the house OF Mr.. Tom Kelly, on the
corner Of Stoddard and Smith streets, but
were frightened away by the screams OF
Mrs. Kelly before securing anything valua-
bic. A negro employe on the Miss, Cent.
extension, by the name of John Planer, was
arrested ON Monday on suspicion, but proof
sufficient to convict him could not be made.
GONE UP.-One Of the horses Of the Lex
ington and jackson mail hack; died at
Ciaybrook, in this county, while enroute
for Lexington on Saturday last. Whether
he fell victim to the hippoepizootieupthe-
snOouc or that other fatal epidemic known
as complete-eollapse-o e-gastro-ilico-eo-
Ionic canal, we are unable 10 say. Howev-
er, we will premise that this lasts the most
fatal Of all the complaints known to the ami
NAL kingdom, and that scarcely one per
cent. Of the animals so attacked ever re-
cover.
A HOME MIsFoRTUNE-On Tuesday
Anthony Campbell, a cOlored employe of
shis office, while turning OF the gas IN the
press room, fell against the large press
breaking his left jaw bone near the socket
smashing his chin bone, and completely
knocking out three prominent and deeply
rooted teeth. He il nearly seventy wears
OF age, and hence his injuries are quite
dangerous. For honesty Of character and
faithfulness to every trust. old Anthony has
no superior, either among his own or the
white race, and thousands OF prayers fer
his recovery will 60 up from the hearts OF
whites as well as blacks.
NEW HoTEL.-Mr. r. NJ. Redwipe has
opened IN the well known ''YSncy BALD
ing'' first class hotel and restaurant, and

THAr SHoorING.-Ou Tuesday night af-
ter the show, considerable firing was heard
in different parts of the city, but the police
force, which was lsrse and ably command
ed by Mayor KING and Chief McCabe. were
unable to effect any arrests. The firing on
Church and Lafayette streets, snd on West
Lafayette street near the Foundry was eyi

parting salute to His Honor the Mayor and
Baruum the marvellous Snowman. The
hring on Market street near the N. c. tres
tie, was perhaps more serious. 4 citizen
saw two men quarreling, and portion Of
the combat between them which wound up
with 4 little pistol practice. But the par
ties, whoever they were, succeeded in e.
Gaping arrest, and up TO this writing We
are unable TO say whether or not anybody
was hurt. 1t seems that the beligerents re-

THE EPIzoorIC-This disease, which
appeared in this city some thirteen days
ago, has not proved fatal in more than
three cases. The stable Of Tomlinson,
Howard 4 Co. have twenty-six horses sick:
all Improving, and report ten that
have almost entirely recovered. Long &
Mason report twenty-sight sick horses,
all improving and not one considered dam
gerous. Hammerly's stables have eight
sick horses and mules, but all are doing
well. A nd so with Goodell and Hogsett.
In truth, as stated by us last week, the dis
ease has not appeared in violent form in
this or any other Southern city, and when
deaths have occurred neglect or oyer-work
was the cause. 1t has spread all over the
city, and into nearly every portion Of this
county, and there is now scarcely to be
found anywhere in this section, perfectly
well horse or mule. But the careful treat
ment urged by Us last week, and which
was suggested by the experience Of other
cities, has proved good, and if followed on
will rob this strange disease Of its terrors.
1t is abating every where around us, and
in our opinion will almost entirely disap-
pear within the next two weeks. 1t has
