CRREoUs CASE.
The Mysterious Recovery Of a Large
sum OF Honey for which ne owner
Can be Found.


A very curious event transpired yes
terday by the return of a large sum of
money-between five hundred and q
thousand dollars-to Captain Athy, for
which there Is no owner to be found IN
Memphis, and for which no claim has
been put ia by any u
All the explanation that can be given
Of the curious and unaccountable affair
IS this: On yesterday week, being Mon
day, and very damp overhead and under
foot, a man by the name of A. Carter,
who had lodging for himself, wife and
two children at the Commercial hotel,
employed a spring wagon 70 haul him
all over the city, In order TO enable him
TO find a good business house where he
could locate. Having run about I'M
til himself and the driver
were wet to the bone, and the
horse was played out, he stopped
in front Of Breretonis grocery-store in
Scotland. He went in to change a ten
dollar bill, out Of which to pay the dri-
yer. Whether he remained there until
he got drunk appeared not, but he left
8 pocket-book behind him full of money.
His subsequent movements are not well
known; but he appears to have left the
city by boat without, however, having
instituted any inquiry into the lest mon
ey, or made any effort to recover it. In
fact, he appears to have entirely neg
lected this. On yesterday morning Mr..
Brereton gave the money to Captain
Athy, who now has 1t in his safe await
ing the proper claimant. The mysteri-
Gus individual who left 1t at Brereton's
is thought to have gone to st. Louis
with his wife and two children. He
came here on the Henry Ames In COM
pany with a man, by the name Of Cole,
nom New Orleans. Does anybody know

A simultaneous FIare-Up In h South
ern and Northern Parts Of b City.
Wild Raining HIther and Thftber, Rel
ter-SkeIfer, but Little Damage.

At eight o'clock last night the fire.
engines rushed southwark at the sum-
mons given from the DeSoto Street En-
ginehouse. A fire had broken out Ia
the kitchen 10 the rearOf Mr.. Meagher's
grocery-store, No. I61 Beale street, just
beyond DeSotO. When the engines goi
fairly operating on this blaze, another
alarm was given, and the northeastern
horizon wa Lit up by a red glare. The
dense crowd of people that surrounded
the fire on Beale, so that they interfered
with the operations of the fremen, then
began to disperse and gravitate toward
the other excitement. Two engines
were Immediately sent to see what the
trouble was north. The exertiOns Of
the people upon the kitchen and
the surrounding buildings had o
very good effect in preventing the fire
spreading. A few dashes of water from
the engines5mbdued the confagration al
once. The property belongs TO Mr.. Sui.
Ivan who Keeps a bar in the Lehnel
House. corner of Second and Washing
ton streets. Four or five hundred dol
lars will cover his loss. The furniture
belonged to Mr.. Meagher, who had nc
insurance on it. The adjoining house
OF MI. HLe was luJuI6u " TIC cAt6ui
of a hundred dollars perhaps.
The fire in the north was due to the
ignition ola wooden structure at the cross
ing of the Ohio road and Brinkly ave
nue., caused by a vicious spark from an
engine. The house was one used for stor-
ing coal oil in and was owned by Mr.,
Whelan. 1t collapsed at once The fire
was out before the engines reached the
neighborhood. The damage will reach
one thousand dollars, no insurance thai
we could learn of.
