Last Sunday everybody who visited
Elmwood Cemetery admired the Matte
Stephenson monument which has been
erected to her memory. The monument
Is life-size figure Of woman wearing
crown of martyrdom. To the art
critic the base looks too heavy, which
effect might be relieved by elevating the
figure several feet, giving it more com
manding and attractive position.
Chief o: Police Athy returned from
st. Louis last evening, bringing with him
Henry Worth, alias Johnson, who is
charged with burglarizing and robbing
the dwellings of Mr.. Fontaine and Mr..
Bethel from which residences lot OF
valuable jewelry was carried of last June
by gang of white and black burglars.
Worth was committed by the Recorder
in default of bail.
The sharp leading Radicals all blow
through the same trumpet and sing the
same tune about that opposition ticket.
They innocently say that the Republi'
can party has nothing to do with it, but
that it is being gotten out by the mer-
chants and mechanics. 1t would be
refreshing to know the names of the
leading merchants and intelligent me-
chanics to whom all this is SO generously
credited by the negroized Radicals.
At St. Peters church this morning an
immense congregation attended the Re-
QUEEN High Mass celebrated for the
repose of the souls of the Catholic
priests who iell victims to the yellow
fever last year. The Dominican Faith
ers of St. Peters, the Franciscan Faith
er's of St. Mary's and the secular priests
ofSt. Patrick's assisted in the celebration.
The choir was composed of our ablest
professional and amateur vocalists who
filed the church with glorious music.
Monday next our Italian fellow-citi.
zens will celebrate the 3S2d anniversary
of the discovery of this neck of land by
Chris Columbus who, with a telescope
saw one of the West India Islands at two
clock in the morning on the 18th Of
October, 1892. Chris had been up al
night on lark" and before he turned
in swept the sky and wave with his lorg
nette. He was the early bird, and il
consequence was enabled to grab the
early worm.
The cool, delightful weather has the
effect of making everybody livelier anC
brisker. Even the bellies who appear OF
the streets on shopping excursions viii
run over you or drive the end Of para

their way in a second. 1t is strange
custom with Memphis lady that wher
she meets a crowd of men who do no
give way at once she shuts her eyes
drops her parasol like lance at rest anC
drives onward regardless of conse
quences. The men scatter as rapidly al
they would have done before the lane,

DRY GOODS GRAND OPENING.
An Immense stock of Fall and
Winter Goods.


To day the house of B. Lowenstein &
Bros, on the corner of Main and Jeffer-
streets, holds grand opening. The ex-
hlbition is being visited by thousands of
visitors, who have an eye for the beauti-
full goods, which, for richness and vari-
ETY., excel any previous display ever
made by this house. Being direct i'm
porters of dry goods, they are enabled to
place their goods in the possession of
their patrons at prices much lower than
those of any competitor in this city.
Their fall and winter stock comprises,
among thousands Of other things, elegant
suits, costumes, cloaks, shawls, furs,
laces, ribbons, hosiery, silks, dress
goods, mourning goods, house furnishing
goods, blankets, Aannels, woolens, vel
vets, lace and damask curtains, pas
senenteries, trimmings, fringes, etc.,
The rich and beautiful stock of goods has
been tastefully arranged by the polite
corps of employees so as to display such
to the best advantage and so that the
purchasers can make selections without
difficulty. The immense store.rooms
have been thrown open to the public fol
inspection and all information required
is given promptly by the attaches of the
house. No wonder the establishment is
crowded to-day, and that there is some
difficulty in making either an entrance
to, or an exit from, this fashionable estab
lishment.

ST. Louis. Aug. 9.-In relation to the muir
der OF B. Ii johnson and wife at north Lex

had not lived happily with his wife. SINE
months ago he lett Tor K"n'uck} but returned
suddenly IN Sunday evening, accompanied by
Lorenzo johnson, ii cousin, Que riding a line
horse aud the other a mule, and stepped ut the
house ofthe mother of Johnson wifi. In the
nigh pistol shots were heard 10 the room oc
cupied by johnson and his wife, aud J1hnson,
was found with bullet hole in his head and
his skull broken, and his wife 5 head had been
mashed to jelly with an axe. y letter was
found on table addressed TO Lorcnzo Jchuson
and signed hy B. Fl, Johuson, in which he says
he committed the deed and had determined to
do it before leaving Lrxington Oh account Of
his wite's iu6delity. The statement in the let
ter is not believed however, for the reason that
Johnson could not w;ite and it is suspected
that L,rcrz9 is the murderer; though there is
no positive evidence against him. j. ,renzo,
was subsequently, arrested for horse stealing
aud taken to Richmond where it was feared he
would be lynched The verdict of the roncr' s
jury, however, did not charge Lorenzo with
the murder aud the case is still involved in
