We yesterday noticed In our local col
umn the arrival of Drs. +. d. Hilliard
and J. NJ. Ryan, of Chicago, who have
very kindly volunteered their services
in behalf of our sick. They come to US
with the best Endorsements, and written
assurances from the acting-mayor OF
Chicago that upon their report that city,
In her corporate capacity, will respond
in any amount of money, groceries, or
clothing for the sick and needy of Mem
phis. We welcome these gentlemen TO
our city and heartily thank them for
their presence; and we hope the Howard
association will see to it that they find
immediate employment for their skill,
where it can be OF most service. The
resident members of the faculty are, we
know, too busy now 10 extend those
courtesies for which, in common with
all our people, they are distinguished;
we trust, therefore, that Doctors HilIiard
aud Ryan will be taken in charge by a
committee Of our leading citizens, and
be made to feel that they are at home.

THE OTHER HO RROR.
The Dark and Mysterious Deed Perpe-
traed at the Foot of Lookout
Mountain.

From the Chattanooga Commercially
Yesterday morning colOred man by
the name of Alexander Murrell was
found dead, hanging by the neck, at
Mrs. Evans stable, located where the
roads cross, near the Halfway house.
Esquires BlackfoId and Williamson
held an inquest, but postponed verdict
until Saturday, for the purpose of secur-
ing additional evidence.
Ii was thought by some yesterday that
the man had hung himself, but the 10
sition in which he was found, disturb
ances in the vicinity st midnight, and q
conversation overheard at the same
hour about a man being hung, rem
der this suppOsitien improbable The
rope with which he was hung is some
what larger than a clOthes-line, and was
thrown over a rail which projected from
the stable, and the man drawn up few
inches from the ground, and left TO
strangle, the draw-end of the rope be-
ing fastened around his legs, below the
knees. He was stripped of his clothing
with the exception of his pants, which
were left hanging on his feet.
he bad the reputation of being q 90
Der, honest, Woodworking man, and
had no known enemies. His remains
were taken in charge by the colored
people, and his employers, Mrs. Evans
and Barnes, will secure for him decent
burial.
The vicinity is known as kirkland
town, and during the past three years il
has had considerable accessions in pop
ulation, and several business houses
have been erected. There are also three
or four saloons, which, in connection
with some baw dy-hOuses located at the
base Of the mountain, are said to be the
cause of the lawlessness in that vicinity.
A number of citizens and property
holders have called a meeting, to taEe
place next Saturday evening, for the
purpose of adopting measures to pu.
down this lawlessness, and give security
TO life and property. They expect t.
change the name of their town, and
elect officers as cOnseFYatOTs of the
peace, and to secure the appointment of
3 deputy sheriff for that district.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Wife's Infldelity Suspected, and Her
ParamOur aud Herself Killed by Hec
Husband.

ST. LOUIS, October l3.-The EUenh9
Dispatch has a special from Carrolltnn,
Missouri, giving an account Of q terrible
tragedy enacted near there. 1t appears
that Robert Austin, a young farmer, Te-
siding about eight miles from CaTrOllton,
mas sometime suspected the intldelity ol
his wife, and on last Friday morning
he left his house, saying he was going t.
the st. Louis fair, and would be absent
several DAYS. He went TO the depot,
but returned home after dark anu
secreted himself in the closet In hi-
wife's bedroom, armed with a double
barreiled shotgun: His wife soon re
tired, and shortly afterward Elijah
Haley entered the room, undrsssed and
just as he was getting into bed Aust l.
spTang from his c0nceaiment and fired
at him, but missed his aim, the shot en-
tering the wife's abdomen. Austin
fired again at Haley, and killed him iu-
stautly. The affair created intense eX
citement by reason Of the. prominence
of all parties concerned, young Austin
being the son of Col 3nel Austin, one OF
the oldest and weslthiest farm ers OF
Carroll county. His wife is daughter
of DR.. FlournOy, prominent citizen Of
lafayette county. Young Haley is a
brother OF Elders Thomas and Henry
Haley, both prominent members Of the
Christian church. Mrs. Austin died
Saturday afternoon, and Austin sur
rendered to the authorities.

WATCHMAN, WHAT OF THE NIGHT

NATCHMAN, WHAT OF THE NIGHTS
The figures furnished by the mortuary
report this morning are dIscoursging.
There Is an increase of four ia the total
Of deaths as compared with the returns
of the day before. The figures
are forty-one by yellow-fever, ten
from other causes; total, ffty-one.
The report of the day before was, total,
forty-seven, yellow-fever, thirty-eight,
and nine from other causes. Still our
people must not be discouraged. The
increase is to be accounted for by the
cool nights, rather than from any in
crease In the number OF cases.
50 far as We can learn, new cases
have decreased in numbers in the last
two or three days, and those best posted
are sanguine that an abatement of the
disease has set in. As to the suggestion
Of a correspondent, that the yellow-fever
must run its course, we are devout be-
lievers in the power conferred On
man by God to find out
the strength and efficacy of all
the elements of nature, among them
those that will neutralize yellow-fever,
aud we are convinced that science in
Mobile and New Orleans, has, this
year, so far prevailed as to prevent an
epidemic in both cities as bad as that
which now RACES here. We will
De ready for it next year,
and will kill it just as soon as it makes
its appearance.

Bury TEE DEAD

We call special attention to the para
graph in our local column in reference
u the difficulty of the undertakers pro-
cIring the certificates of attending ply
clans, in case Of death from the fever,
in compliance with the city ordinance.
Tne fatal effects of keeping the dead
bodies of fever-pstients unburied for
any length of time after dissolution
will neutralize all our efforts to stay the
progress Of the contagion. VIII the
physicians please make note of this?
We know they are hard-worked, and
sympRthize with them, but unless the
evils complained of are at once stopped,
nothing within the power of human
hands can keep the plague from becom-
ing general.

Memphis, the mayor, individually, and
the members Of the council and Of the
board Of aldermen, In their individual
capacity, have left nothing undone to
prove to the community, that as men,
they felt for and sympathized with the
suffering and afflicted poor. We hope
to be able to publish the welcome news
in few days that Mayor johnson Is re-
stored to his official duties, and to the
affection of his family aud friends.

MEXICO.
Another Filibustering Scheme-Graut
and Tom Scott, Leaders.

ST. LOUIS, October 14.-A gentleman
who has lived in Chihuahua, one of the
northern States of Mexico, many years,
recently arrived at st. Louis on busi-
ness, and has communicated to Times
reporter grand scheme for the conquest
of northern Mexico, embracing Chihu-
ahua, Coahuits, New Leon and Sonora,
and in the subsequent annexation to the
United states. A number of capitalists
in this country, and many prominent
and wealthy citizens of Mexico, are said
to be connected with the scheme. A
brief outline Of the project is
as follows: The Texas Pacific
railroad is being constructed from
both teTmini, and work will be fin
ished about the middle of the route,
somewhere near FL Paso. Some fifteen
thousand labOrers will be engaged on
the road, and when the work is COM
pleted they will be discharged in coun-
try where it will be impossible for them
to obtain employment, and as such men
are generally imprOvident and without
money, they will be glad to accept any
thing that may offer. How these men
are to be utilized Is thus stated: A sOci-
ETY. has been OrganiZed, with its head
HAhAltlH al ANCM OlAGdlss COiii UbStO E8-
clusively of officers of the Union and
Confederate armies, no one being ellgi-
ble who has not attained the rank OF
captain. Some weeks Before the
completion of the railroad, these
gents, who will be sem forward
in detschments, and make themselves
personally acquainted with the laboreTs
on the discharge of the latter. They
will attempt 70 organize them in az,
army. The cOmmisssries and camp
equlpage is to be furnished by capitalists
who back them. They will then march
over the northern states Of Mexico
and raise the flag Of independence. In
each Of them the people of these states
ara expected to look favoTably on the
enterprise, and offer no mOlestation or
interference, and the government of
Mexico will be powerless to prevent IT,
The next step will be annexation to the
United States by vote OF the people as
vas the case withTexas Tom Scott and
General Grant are mentioned as con-
nected with, or fav rable to the scheme
