CRIMINAL NOTES.

Sheriff Hatton. of Dickson county, de-
liyersd at the penitentiary, yesterday, Joe
jackson, colored. sentenced 10 three years
confinement, for attempt to commit muir
der.
Parker Glenn, the individual who was
committed to Jail month ago, by the Fed
eral Court, on the charge Of peddllng to
baceo without paying a license, was re-
leased yesterday, upon his swearing that he
was unable to pay the amount OF his Inc
one hundred dollars.
Arthur Conner is certainly a very
naughty boy. His mother evidently spared
the rod in his younger days, and now he IS
a spoiled child-a very bad egg. He was
committed to the county woIk-house yes
terlay by Justice Campbell, cOlOred, on the
charge Of s'malishus mischief in breaking
I'D his mothers chers." BY the time Ar
thur works out his fine of Sl0.45, he will
probably be willing to give his mothers
"cheTs" a rest,
Archie Phillips and James Turner,
arrested at the instance of Doc Ambrose on
the charge of larceny and malicious mis-
chief, were tried yesterday afternoon before
Justice Everett. Turner was released, be
having turned States evidence, but Phillips
was committed for trial before the Cr1ml-
ual Court. Turner produced the lantern
which he and his partner used when they
entered Mr. AmbrOse's stable, and stated
that the night he and Phillips were placed
in Jail. he saw the latter pull a key out OF
his poke. and throw it through the bars Of
the prison cell. Yesterday Mr.. Ambrose
and Turner went in the rear of the Jail and,
in searching along the high bank Of the
river, they found the key. Turner further
said that Phillips tried TO get him to ser
fire to Ambrose Hall, saying that he would
keep watch and give warning if any one
approached. Their enmity towards Mr..
Ambrose seems to have grown out of the
fact that they were discharged from his EN-
plOy a short time since.

Decision Reserved .

Gov. Brown and DIS. Calender, Cheat
ham and Jones returned yesterday from
Memphis, where they went for the purpose
Of examining the site last selected for the
West Tennessee Asylum, which lies about
four miles below that city.
After inspecting the place, and he Ting
its advantages and disadvantages discussed
by ex-GOv. Harris, and other prominent
citizens, they concluded to postpone de-
cision until further information can be had
concerning the freedom of the place from
malarial diseases. With this view a COM
mittee of five Of the leading physicians of
Memphis was appointed 10 report on the
healthfllness Of the locality.
On the arrival If the Governor and bis
advisers, and before they had visited the
proposed site, the Memphis papers stated
that it vas understood that it would be re-
iacted. This was done evidently TO arouse
all the local influence possible TO secure
a favorable decision.

HOMELESS WANDERERS.
A Touching Incident I'm the 0hzee OF
the County Judges

Judge FERRIS was applied to yesterday
for charity in case Of peculiar interest.
An old woman with two children, one a
girl of singular beauty, thirteen years old,
and the other a boy younger, all poorly
clad, presented themselves asking to be
taken care OF, as they were at present in a
helpless condition. The woman said she
was from the hills southwest of Mont
gonery, where she became destitute, and
whence she had drifted in this direction,
working her way and following the advice
of those with whom she came in contact,
adding that she was in search Of work, and
representing herself to be a good cook and
laundress.
Judge Ferris, observing the lovely face
Of the little girl, and calling to mind
citizen of Edceteld who eanted to adopt
just such child, said he could provide 3
good home Immediately for her, and would
take care of the mother and little boy till
they could get homes. When he explain
ed that it would be necessary for them to
be separated, the mother burst into tears,
but the little girl consoled her with the
words: s'Neyer mind, mamma, maybe i'll
all turn out for the best"
The Judges programme was carried out,
and all comfortably guartered. 1t IS re
maIkable fact that he has continual offer
made to furnish homes for children. 1t 70
quires only an advertisement Of bone
less child to bring dozen applicants.

EAGER FOR DEATH.
A Mckenzie Man Makes an Unsuceess-
fuI EFFORT 20 End His Career.

A Young ran, whose name our reporter
could not learn, attempted suicide last
Monday at Mckenzie, Carroll county. lie
procured a vial of laudanum, went into a
room AZ the Mckenzie House, and calling
a chambermaid, directed her to 60 across
theroOm TO get him piece of paper, aud
while her back was turned he raised the
vial to his lips, swallowed the contents,
and then remarked TO the girlthat he would
not live twenty-five inmates.
The chambermaid a. once went down
stairs to inform the proprietor OF what had
occurred. During her absence the young
man locked the door, and when assistance
came to him it was found necessary to
send a man through the transOm, and
wrench the key from the hand Of the now
almost lifeleSs- youth, before the apartment
could be entered.
The proper antidotes were Immediately
administered. and at last accounts, the suf-
ferer was slowly recovering from the effects
of the nearly fatal dose. 1t is said that the
would-be suicide billed man some three
wears ago, and this act is supposed 20 have
weighed upon his mind and caused him TO
make this attempt on his life.

A HEAVY JUDGMENT.
The Nashville. Chattanooga and 81.
Louis Railroad Interested.

The Atldnta Constitution has the follow
ing: ..Under the Bullock abOmination OF
desolation in public places suit was
originated by the Kentucky Marine and
Fire Insurance Company against the West
ern and Atlantic Railroad and the Nash
vile and Chattanooga Railroad Company.
II was instituted in the Chancery Court at
Chattanooga. through the agent ofthe com
pany, Dir. VIM. W. Crawford, of louisville,
XIV. In the meantime, the complainant sat
torney elected an offer from the Nashville
and Chattanooga Railroad Company to pay
one-half the demand, if the Western and
Atlantic Railroad would pay the other hall.
However, no compromise was effected.
On the hearing, the Chancellor deereed
against the latter for the whole amount,
and dismissed the bill as to the former road.
The decree is for SIS, HOPS and costs OF
suit. The case was appealed 20 the Supreme
Court, which las lately delivered an opin-
ion affirming the decree of the Chancellor.
The judgment will probably be paid by the
State: still the Western and Atlantic Rail-
read will have a claim in equity against
the Nashville ant Chattanooga Railroad
