BEEF CATTLE
We have few changes to note in the cattle
market The receipts are somewhat larger, but
no advance has occurred in the prices. The
majority of the cattle placed on the market now
are classed as second rate or good, the best quail

to say, however that tho best grades are most
IL demand. Nc shipments arc being made at
present, and the buying is confined exclusively
to our city butchers.

Attempt at Arson,

Yesterday evening, between seven and eight
o'clock, some one attempted to sot fire to the
house Of Lewis Mabry, colored man who is at
work at Coal Creek, his wife and children being
at home alone 1t seems that the party had
prepared a large bundle of paper rags and other
combustble matter we'll springfield with powder,
and as the sequel proved, too we'll springfield for
their purpose. The explosion of the powder
alarmed the family as we'll as Mr., James Coins,
who lived next door. Mrs. Mabry called Mr..
Coins over, who found the house and cellar all
filled with smoke, and under the steps the paper
and rags on fire. Mr.. Coins after extinguish-
ing the fire, came after policeman, and we
hope the guilty party will be secured.

Their Escape.
Yesterday morning about o'clock, the
inilor Mr.. II. II. DeArmond, having learn
ed that n knife was in the possession of
one of the prisoners in certain cell occu
pied by three colored men, proceeded to
the cell and demanded of one of them,
viii Jones by name, the delivery of the
knife. This he refused, stating that they
had 70 knife Il, their cell, whom The .iaiIoT
Informed him that he knew it was there
and that If it was not given up he would
put him in dungeon until he relented.
The prisoner still persisted in his refusal,
when Mr.. DeArmond took hold of him
with the intention of executing his threat,
but this seemed to he just what they had
expected and wished, and with n quick
movement the prisoner succeeded in push
ing him against the wall. By this time
another one of the prisoners, Lewis
Harrison, came up as reinforcement, when
they in concert commenced to
CHOKE THE JAILoR,
who, however, did not feel inclined to
meekly submit to such treatment and n
severe struggle ensued. Jones, who first
made the attack, securing a good opportu-
nifty, passed out of the cell door, ran
through the porch of the house, and run
ming down Prince street, was about
MAKING HIS ESCAPE,
when he was arrested by Mr., Huttaker,
the former Deputy Sheriff, and some
other gentlemen and brought back to Jail.
! During this time the scutlle between the
! jail0r and Harrison was Still progressing,
and having gotten outside Of the cell door,
by some means the prisoner got the advan-
tagc and
| THREW THE JAILoR DOWN THE STEPS,
a distance of about ten feet, by shere PROV
idence escaping serious injuries. After he
had fallen, before the prisoner could reach
him, the jailor, for the first time had an
opportunity of getting hold of his pistol,
and drawing it, he
FIRED FOUR SHOTS
at the approaching prisoner, one of which
took effect in his left groin. Harrison at
ter he was shot desisted from further at
lacking the TAILOR, but still seemed intent
upon making his escape. He ran to the
fence and was in the act of climbing ovel
when the jailor, who had recovered from
the fall, by slight tap with chair
brought him to his senses sufficiently tC
allow himself to be conducted back to his
cell. The third occupant of this cell did
not take any part whatever in this scram
BILE for freedom, but quietly remained
within watching the issue of the contest.

Grain and Produce.
GRAIS.--The grain trade during the past
week has been more active than fer some weeks
previous. There was a considerable amount of
Wheat offered, which found ready sales at good
prices. Wheat has advanced 10 cents on all
grades, and is in good demand at these figures
The present week opened out lively. Over
1900 bushels were brought to market and found
ready sale on Monday Wheat is stiff at quo
tations.
FRUIT.-The market in dry Fruit is extreme
~ dull and transactions are limited to local de-
mands, with no indications whatever for bet
ter market in that line.
FLoUR.-Good family -four is in demand, the
stock on hand not being equal to the local trade
There is but little Flour in market, and but lit
tie is being offered. Flour has advanced a lit
tie, and will continue to advance if Wheat does
not come down, for it will not pay the miller to
grind up Wheat at the present prices and sell it
| in Flour at the figures now being paid. Flour is
| in active demand at quotations.
OATs.-The trade in Oats is better, and the
little that is offered finds ready sale.

Mistaken Idea.

1t seems thsta young farmer OF Georgia
has doubts whether cattle taken from Tennessee
can live any length of time in that latitude. Ho
should have no doubts or fears about the matter.
l have known quito number of cows taken to
Georgia, and they did just as we'll AS the native
cattle. Not only so, but have known them
shipped from New York, and other Eastern
States without incuring any risk of life Indeed
it is hard to imagine why they should SO sud
denly give up the ghost in Gergia Let Young
Farmer" rest easy on this subject. For Ave
cents will insure all the cattle he may pur-
chase in East Tennessee and take TO Macon,
Georgia FARMER.

Painful Accident,

Yesterday evening, at about o'clock,
MIR. John Neil who works at the round
house of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad, fell into pit, seriously
injuring his right leg. He was taken to
his home on NIabry street, in East Knox
vile, and a physician sent for. 1t was
impossible to ascertain the extent of his
injuries last night, but his leg from his
knee up was bruised considerably, and Mr..
Neil said he had no feeling in it whatever.
We trust, however, that the injuries sus-
tanned are not as serious as they were sup
posed to be-

Acknowledgment Of Relief for Boston.

When it was determined by the ladies of
Knoxville to do something for the relief
of Boston sewing women after the late
disastrous fire, our city contemporary
tried to throw "cold water on the enter

precated:

We had the pleasure yesterday of meet
ing Capt. Ruhl, who is in command of the
party now surveying the lines for branch
road to Knoxville to the line surveyed for
the Cincinnati Southern railroad. 1t
is their intention to run two different lines
to Knoxville and one to Lenoirs Station,
and after the main line is adopted by the
Trustees it will be their next province to
decide upon the feeder or branch road.
After these surveys are made and the cost
of building this branch road is ascertained,
the Trustees will decide whether to build
or purchase the Knoxville and Ohio road.
The party is now encamped ut Zion g
Church, near Heiskel's Station, about II
miles from this city, and will soon move
their camp somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of the old paper mill, about miles
from Knoxville.

able TO sec her until yesterday, when he aoeOated
her In Eighth avenue as she walked with Mrs.

| conversation. Mrs. kenney urged her not 10 grant
them, but he dragged his wife aside, and after q
brief exchange Of wOrds, pointed pistol and shot
her in the right cheek. The bullet passed through
the tongue, shattered the left collar bone, and
lodged in the surrounding muselea. She fell v
| the pavement, and was carried bleeding to he
| residence. Templeton then uD, but was soOI
