THE WAR OF RACES. " yesterday morn
ing in North Memphis a negro named
William Wilson attacked respectable
white lady with club. Officer Kaiser
heard Of the assault and went to arrest
William, but William wouldn't be ar
rested. He snatched the officers club,
and after placing him hors du combat,
he brandished the club defantly at a
large crowd that had collected around
the scene. Very soon gentleman
Mr.. f. N. Houston of Marshall county,
Mississippi-stepped out and said he
would capture William, and started to-
ward him. William contested the gen
tleman' progress for some time with his
club, but unfortunately for him ne re-
sorted to brick, but which he had no
sooner thrown than he was taken at a
disadvantage, for Mr.. Houston proved
an adept in such matters, and catching
the missile in his hand, la base ballist,
he hurled it back with dire effect. Be-
fore William fully recovered from the
effects of the blow he was secured, and
on his way to the station-house. This
morning the Recorder sent William to
iail in default of bonds

of the most notorious scalpers in Mem
phis is one r, ]. Vance, alias John Nc
Ginnis, alias Fatty McGinnis, alias John
McCann, alias Stonehouse Jack. Fat
ty" has been mixed up with numerous
scrapes in his time, the last Of which,
until yesterday, was mysterious muir
der which gave him little temporary
notoriety. Fatty has for some time been
indulging threats against a negro man
named Dow, who drives hack for Mr..
Marshall, the livery stable man. Satur-
day night McGinnis met the darkey at
one Of the suburban beer gardens, and
fred three shots at him, inflicting slight
wounds in the thumb and little finger
and in the abdomen. He told Dow he
meant to murder him, and he probably
would have done so had it not been for
the interference of bystanders who pre-
vented any more shooting. Fatty was
arrested by Sergeant Dea who took him
to the station-house Sunday morning.
This morning the Recorder fined Fatty
fifty dollars, and put him under fifty
thousand dollars bond to appear before
the Grand Jury. Fatty will, of course,
remain in Jail until his trial comes up,
as it will be impossible for him to give
bail in such amount

This eminent Dominican divine
preached yesterday at St. Peters to an
immense congregation composed Of
nearly all Christian denominations.
Father Tom, as he is called by the
American press, was born in Galway,
ireland, in 1880; went to Rome at the
age Of seventeen; entered the Domini-
can convent at Perugia in the Umbria,
and completed his studies at the Min
erva and Santa Sabina in Rome. he
spent four years in Gloucester, England,
founded nsvitiate and house of studies
in Ireland, and returned to San Clemcnte,
Rome. Father Burke resided there in
1869 and 1870, preaching in the st.
Agatha Church of the Irish college,
and in the church of Gesu Maria,
on the Corso. In 1869 his sermons in
this latter church attracted great atten-
ton on account of the impressive style of
eloquence cultivated by the learned Do
minican. During the Ecumenical Coun-
Gil Father Burke was selected as the
English preacher of that assemblage.
Amongst Americans of every religious
belief Father Burke has become a ia
vorite. He dresses in the usual white
habit of the Dominicans, with the black
mantle, which in part crosses the chest.
He is tall and thin, presenting the ap-
pearance of an ascetic, yet he is physi-
cally a strong man, and possesses a
genial nature. The face rs grave and
serious, and the eye calm and penetrat-
ing. AS preacher he divided honors
in New York with such orators as
Beecher, Chaplin and other religious
lights of the nineteenth century.
Tonight he will lecture at st. Peter S
Church on 1.-THE Church and the Nine
teenth Century; the Catholic Church
alone able to meet the wants Of our age"
Prof. Perring and full choir will rem
der several gems, and for those who at
tend rich literary and musical treat
will be offered.
