4 Laboratory.

To the Union and American:
The capital of a civilized State is ex-
peeled to be the principal seat of learning,
wherein are gathered together men versed
In political economy, music, drawing, dfa-
matte performance, natural history, practi-
cal science, and in short all intellectual and
moral studies. We sincerely hope that sucn
a class of men is to be found in Nashville.
Have we prominent savant who under
stands analysis and synthesis? 1t is said
that there is one gentleman here capable of
resolving substances into their component
elements and of uniting these sgain. Sup
nose we have q man of that description,
haye we a laboratory for chemical opera
tions and experiments. If SO, we have not
heard of it. It is of the greatest import
nnce that city, especially the capital Of 8
ereat State, should contain q laboratory of
the first order. The laboratory Is the
leading guide of all factories. Itpoints out
unfatiingly the feasibility, the utility, and
the approximate cost of The production Of
manufactured articles of all sorts, be it
candles, glass, perfumes or any species of
manufactured products, whether it belongs
to miperslogy, metallurgy, pharmaceutics,
or something else. The laboratory is the
directory to all the arts of life-the tue key
to ali practical knowledge. Ii There is no
laboratory in our city, how can we know
whether our compounds are pure, when
brought to us from distance. Our life
and health is dependent on the purity of
what we consume, and the success of our
business is iaopardized by the fAi ure of just
ANALYSIS. A reliable chemist does not trust
what others have produced, and holds him
self responsible for only those things which
he himself has produced with scrupulous
occnrocv S, L. SIGMAN.

EAST TENNESSEE COUNTER
FEITERS.

Eight More Arrested-FuFtherD Details
Serious Threats Against the Fed
eraI Detectives.
From the Knoxville Press and Herald, Oct. p.
The number of Uncle Sans. enforced
guests in Knoxville, were still further in
creased, yesterday, by the arrival Of deput y
marshals from Union, Granger and Cooke
counties. Early in the morning, one de-
tachment from Union county, came to
town having in charge the following per-
SONS: A. A. Snodderly, Nicholas Sharp, ].
j. Sellers, Joel s. Myers, j. A. Wilson and
&. G.. Sharp, all of Union county. During
the day, John NJ. Sswyers, Of Granger
county, and NJ. @. MeClannshan, of Cooke
county, were also brought to the city, haY-
ing been arrested On the same charge.
All the prisoners were taken before Com
missioner Aiken. A. A. Snoddenly gave
bond in 5000 to answer on the 10Th
inst, and John M. Sawyer gave bond In
the same amount TO answer on the 18th
inst. The remaining prisoners were given
every facility to secure bail, but failed.
They remained during the day and last
night, under the esrsfni supervision OF U.
S. Marshal Evans.
We understand t5sa these arrests about
complete the number In East Tennessee.
The greater proportion of the victims are in
the Western North Carolina districs and by
this time are probably pnder arrest. They
were some sixty odd warrants issued in
that district. 1t NAV be day or two yet
before anything definite can be learned Of
the operations around AsheVille and
Greensboro.
The arrests in East Tennessee were made
with celebrity, promptness and SUCCESS. 1t
is a wonder that the men who have been
kept under 80 Close q surveillance Tor
months, whose every movement was watch
ed and reported to the authorities, did not
suspect their danger. The plan for their
arrest was adroitly conceived and executed
with precision and relentless vigor. Not
one man of all those who In East Tennes-
see were wanted BY the Government, has
escaped. They were plucked like ripe
cherries, one by one. And no particular
incident of note transpired during the ser
vice of the warrants, tolnerit paragraph.
The deputy marshals effected the arrests
withoutthe click of weapon. The detec-
tiyes tell many an interesting tale OF their
DISCUSSES and plans 10 entrap the unWary
dealers in the counterfeit money. That
they were not even suspected BY their In
tended victims, even to the last, speaks
more for their detective skill than for the
smartness of their dupes. We presume the
same set of detectives win not hibernate
among the counties of East Tennessee.
Our candid belief is they would not find it
healthy. a,- 80
A preliminary examination in the case Of
Hickey and Hughes, two Of the arrested
parties from Johnson's City and Jonesboro,
Is set for today, before Commissioner
Aiken. " f
In such an extended plan and among go
many arrests, it is hardly probable but that
the innocent may be mixed with the
guilty. If this is 50 thersswil be ample
opportunities afforded the unjlstly arrested
to Vindicate themselves.

The Fire Chiefs.

In the proceedings of the National Con-
vention of Chief Engineers of fire depsrt-
ment, which commenced its session at Bal
timore on the 10th inst, Chief Stockell
offered resolution deprecating the conDec:
ton of buildings by connecting joists and
gi, ders, and earnestly imploring the various
city councils to adopt measures for the in
spection of buildings when being erected,
so as to make the division walls perfect
fire walls. The resolution was discussed
by Chiefs Saltzman, of st. Joseph; Damrell,
of Boston: Stocked, of Nashville; Hopkins,
of Somervile, and Mr.. Williams, of Wash
ington, all in the affirmative. The resolu-
ton was amended so as to read "and all
proper authorities" and as amended, was
adopted.

A FRACAS In MEMPHIS.
DE-. Ryan, OF Chicago, Gained by Dr.
BEackburn, OF Louisville.

DE. Ryan, OF Chicago, Gained by Or.
BEackburn, OF Louisville.
From the Memphis Appeal, Oct. 81. e
A lively fracas occurred yesterday after
noon between Two visiting disciples of Es-
cuIapius, in Johnson's drug store, near
the corner Of Exchange snd Main streets,
which occasioned quite an excitement even
in that at present quiet portion Of the Ct y.
Il appears that DIR. j. N. Ryan, who came
here from Chicago about week ago to give
his services to The sick, with credentials
from Acting Mayor Bond, and Mr. N.
Z. Fairbank, of that city, came into serious
collision with DR.. Luke p. Blackburn, of
Louisville, and physician in charge of the
Walthall inHrmary Of this city. Besides at
tending to his duties at the infrmary, DR..
Blackburn devotes poFsicn Of his time to
poor patients ali over the city. Yesterday
morning DIR. Ryan joined one of the reverend
fathers OF the Catholic church, and went
with him on his rounds among the sick and
the dying. Among other parties visited,
was Mrs. QuinIan, who lives In the north
ern part of the city, aud who has been un-
der DR.. Blackburn's charge for several days,
and is rapidly convslescing. DR.. Ryan in
O aired into the case, mode OF treatment,
and It is said administered three pills to the
sick woman. DIR. Blackburn called some
time afterward, ard on learning what had
taken place he became indignant, and meet
ing DR.. Ryan in the afternoon in Johnson's
drug store, as above mentioned, he uprsid-
ed him with interfering with the treatment
of his patients, which DR.. Ryan at first at
tempted 10 deny. DIR. Blackburn reiterated
the accusation and then proceeded to tell
him that be was not entitled TO place the
letters ssM. Dr. at the end of bis name, as
he had never studied medicine, bat that he
had been q Catholic priest and had bean
turned ont of the church for some misde-
meanor. he also charged that DR.. Ryan
had obtained his letters from the Chicago
authorities in surreptitious manner. DR..
Ryan retorted tn t DR.. Blackburn was a
id liar, when Blackburn raised his cane
and brought it sharply into contact with
Ryan's Uranium, following up the attack
with several sharp blows over the shoulders.
Ryan got out of the WY as quickly as pos
sible, and proceeded to look for . policeman.
DR.. Blackburn got into bis buggy and drove
down to the Adams street stationhouse, told
what had taken place and offered to surren-
der himself. The officer in charge declined
to interfere, and told the doctor TO go and
attend to bis patients. The affair was The
principal talk around the Peabody and 9th
or hotels last night. DR.. Blackburn de-
clares that on Sunday evening, in the Pea
body hotel DIR. Ryan ACKNOWLEDGED that he
had formerly belonged to the Catholic
priesthood.
