For many months the loss Of mail
letters between Jackson, Misa,, and
Humboldt, Team, has been a subject Of
complaint with the merchants aud bust
ness men along the line Of the Missis-
sippi Central railroad. Numerous lei
ters containing money we're distracted
in a most mysterious manner. until at
length the detectives Of the Postoiliee
Department went TO work 10 ferret out
the mail bag plunderer. A postal clerk,
a white man named William M. Smith,
running on the above route, was sus-
pected, and set of decoy letters was at
once put in circulation. The method Of
doing this s as follows; The decoy letters
are placed in the mail bag at a certain
station by the postofiice department Off
cial, aud on arrival at the place Of des-
tination he again searches the mail bag.
The absence Of the letters can only be
due 10 the route agent who handles the
matter. The trap had been set, ana hau
fallen, catching the bird. The heir OF
the much abused house Of Smith was
arrested, aAd on his person were found
not only the decoy letters but numerous
unopened letters addressed to business
men. He was brought before United
States Commissioner Garrett to-day for
examination. He admitted his guilt in
the coolest manner, and in reply to the
question why he had the letters unopened
in his possession he stated that they were
addressed to men who had been in the
habit of receiving money by mail, and
that he intended to open them when con-
venient. United States Commissioner
Garrett placed the letter.stealer under
ten thousand dollars bond and commit
ted him TO the Shelby county Jail in de-
fault thereof.

AZ Less than Cost.

Hundreds Of our citizens have been
visiting the clothing establishment Of
Sproule 4 MeCown, on the corner of
Main and Jefferson, during the past
week, and at each visit they carried off
bundles of goods, which they purchased
at less than first cost. II will be remem-
bered that not many nights since del
uging rain damaged several thousand
dollars worth Of clothing and gents I'M
derwear at this establishment. The pro-
prietors knew well that the damage
amounted to nothing to the purchaser,
but as they do not keep damaged goods
they determined to sell out at any price.
Think of purchasing four dollar linen
shirts at two dollars and half i've dol
lar Marseilles vests at half price; jean
drawers at sevsnty-Gve cents, and linen
drawers at 81 50-less than the value OF
the goods before making. And then the
cashmere clothing slightly damaged, is
also sold at correspondingly low prices. IL
must be remembered that all these goods
are of the finest material, and have been
manufactured by Sproule Il McCown
expressly for their customers and the
Memphis trade generally. You can now
purchase two hundred dollars worth Of
fine clothing and underwear FOR one hun
dred dollars, each article being of the
latest style both in material and make.
Notwithstanding that vast amount of
these goods have been sold, there yet
remains a large lot awaiting purchasers.
Do not delay, but go at once and invest
your money in summer and fall wearing
apparel.

Young Immediately after the shooting
took refuge in house, and the neigh
