Tragedy I'm Little Rock.

tragedy occurred at a house of ill-fame
kept by Lottie Norton and Virginia Dee,
about four O clock this morning. A Cap
tain Rowland and Mr.. Latham, both
highly connected, we're visiting the
house, when a dispute arose between
Captain Rowland and Lottie. The
former pulled pistol and shot her dead.
Latham stepped in between the two
about that time, to prevent further shoot
ing, when second shot took effect in
his abdomen. and he has been lyi2g at
the point Of death all day. Rowland

recovery have been given up. 1t is

THE BATTLE TOMORROW

The reelection of johnson will re-
move all clouds that hang over the fu.
tnre of Memphis, because. by the end
of his second term its financial condi-
ton will be entirely out Of the woods.
Jobnsons administration has attracted
the attention not only of people of intel
ligence ct home, but of the people Of
other States and cities. Shall we give
up such man at time when we begin
to see light ahead and can almost mark
the very spot where the complications
that have afflicted us will fall to pieces,
like Rip Van Wrinkles gun, and leave US
in the undisturbed light2 What if john
son, at some time of his life, has done
something, not connected with the city
government, that many people may not
like. What has that to do with the
matter2 No, the objection to John
son on the part of his opponents
proceeds from other causes. 1t is
perfectly lndicrous for men to de-
nounce him and then turn to League.
Now, we have not attacked Mr.. League
as citizen, and do not intend to do So.
1t is his pretentions that we attack. 1t
is his Wanting assumption to be equal
to the great task of governing this city,
that we assail. What has League done
for the city? What has he done for any
body, corporation or thing, except him
self In what has his ability been dis.
played as an executive officer, or as a
fnancierp Do you point to the circum-
stance that he has grown rich2 How
Not by labor, certainly. We do not
know in what manner. No matter. That
fact gives him no claim to statesman
ship But in johnson we have man
who performs the most signal service to
hepublic in silence. People did not know
that he was working out great ends until
he had accomplished them. There he sat
through all the days. silent, stern, bui
ever at his task. Nothing moved him
from the course he had marked out after
intense reflection. he struggled with
many dif6culties-was checked here and
there by obstacles that would discourage
q less tenacious nature. But he did not
falter, nor turn back, but hewed them
down aud went on. viii the people Of
Memphis dismiss such a man for one
who, to say the least, is untried2 Will
they plunge into the dark again3 for tc
elect League will be to go out into the
darkness. We cannot believe it. We
will not believe it.

A Card from the Me,nphir Gaslighs
Company.

Company.
To the Public
The board of directors Of the Mem
phis Gaslight Company desire to declare,
in an authoritative manner. the future
policy of their company in regSrd to the
sale of gas.
Our company is possessed OF the most
complete and ample appurtenances nee
essary for the manufacture and distribu-
ton Of an adequate supply of illumina-
ting gas for the city of Memphis, the
right to vend which we claim as an ex-
elusive and vested right. In addition to
the extensive works for the manufacture
of coal gas, we have in operation appa-
ratus for manufacturing gas from nap
tina, under the process secured by the
Rand 4 Gale patent By this method
(ewned and controlled entirely by us),
an illuminating gas is manufactured by
our company superior to that which
any other company can manufacture IN
this city by from fifty to one hundred
per cent. This ia a fact which will be-
come patent to every gas consumer OF
the city should another company enter
into competition with us. Within the
present week an improvement has been
made at our works which viii forever
secure to this city the credit Of possess
ing light unsurpassed throughout the
globe. Through the same agency we
will hereafter be able to correct, in a
few minutes, deficiencies in the power OF
the light we furnish accustomed by cold
weather or from other causes.
We do not propose TO lose o consumer
on account Of price. Should another
company commence to sell gas at a
prizes lever than the rate fixed by this
company, we will at once reduce our
rate to point fifty cents per thousand
cubic feet lower than ihe amount fixed
upon by such other company, and will
keep descending In the same ratio.
We would remind the public that we
desire no assurances or guarantees. on
the part Of our consumers, as we believe
that whenever mattpra come TO open
competition, the superiority Of the light
offered by this company, to say nothing
of inducements In price, will secure a
continuance OF the patronage it has so
long enjoyed.
It's made the imperative duty of every
officer and employe Of this company to
pay strict attention to the wants and re-
quirements Of our patrons, and any lack
of courtesy or neglect of complaints will
subject the offender to severe rebuke or
prompt dismissal from our service.

POOR DODGE.

We do not think W. H. Stevens would

we believe that General Patton Ander-
son would do so. We warn the people
not to be influenced by reports that
prominent Democrats, men who have
been honored for years, would have
ANYTHING to do with Radical city ,ad
ministration. The dodge to place them
in that position is so thin that one can
read the finest print through it. In case
of election, we have 40 aaret that
League would have none but Radicals
