There was wild hurrying to and fro
about IL o'clock yesterday morning, in con-
sequence of the sudden appearance of big
black cloud in the North. A few moments
before, the sun had been shining brightly,
the air being heavy and oppressive. Soon
the storm burst forth, and as the streets
were filed with flying drays, express
wagons, hacks, etc, and the sidewalk:
crowded with excited pedestrians, the rain
descended in torrents, flooding the streets
and filling the cutters.
On North College street the press Of
water was so great that two telegraph poles
lying in the gutter were carried down the
street some distance, and jammed into 8
culvert near the railroad crossing.
At the Publishing House, the water beat
in AZ the exposed portion where the north
wall has not been completed, but noseriouS
damage was done.
During the storm the lightning struck
the west wing Of the blind school, which
is in process of erection, and ON which
there is no roof as yet. The wOrkmen haC
left the building but a few moments be
fore, and the damage inflicted did not ex
tend beyond the SCATTERING of few win
dow paneS.

THE TEXAS PACIFIC RAILWAY.
The Nashville Cotton Exchange Joins
I'm n Memorial 60 Congress.

There was called meeting of the Cot
ton Exchange at two p. NJ. yesterday, for
the purpose of receiving a gentleman who
represents the Texas Pacific railroad, and
who is seeking the commercial influence of
the various cities of the South in favor of
Congressional appropriations for the COM
pletiOn of that road-that gentleman being
Gen. j. g. Walker, of Texas.
There was a full attendance Of the cot
ton men, and Gen. Walker was introduced
by Mr.. Ii. C. Hensley, President of the
Board of Trade.
Gen. Walker explained the beneficial re-
suits that would accrue to the whole South
by the building of the Texas Pacific Road,
and asked that the Nashville Cotton Ex-
change follow the example of the Mercan-
tile boards of other cities, as New Orleans,
Charleston and Atlanta, in agreeing to a
joint memorial to Congress asking aid in
behalf ofsaid road.
At the conclusion Of his remarks which
were quite lengthy and forcible, Capt.
j. +. WheleSS offered the following, which
was unanimously adopted:
"Whereas, the Texas Pacific Railway is
a work of great national importance, pos
sessed of decided advantages over any
other route to the Pacific, both as to
climate, which render it available at all
seasons of the year, and fertility of soil, the
productive capacity of which will add i'm
mensely TO the national wealth; and
whereas, its completion will advance
the material interests of the entire coun-
try, and especially assist in restoring
that degree of prosperity to the impoyer-
ished States of the South, essential to the
welfare of all; the effect of which will be
to bring them into bonds of closer union
with their sister States whose enterprises
have received such bountiful aid from the
General Government; and, whereas, the
carrying forward of this work is
beyond the capacity Of individual
efforts, but so rich in benefits as TO fully
warrant the National Government in Civ
ing such aid as will insure, beyond ques-
ton, its early completion; and
whereas, it aeeIns TO us entirely practi-
cable to extend all necessary assistance,
under such restrictions, and surrounded by
such safeguards as will surely protect the
Government from loss; therefore,
s.Be it resolved, That it is the unani-
nous desire of the Nashville Cotton Ex-
change that all assistance necessary should
be extended to the Texas Pacific Railway;
and,
s.ResoIved, further, That the Secretary be
directed to furnish each Representative
with a CODY Of the action of this Exchange,
and TO respectfully lsk our delegate, in con
uection with those from the State, to carr
estly PRESS the matter upon the attention
of Congress

Hall, and he has scrubbed away so faith
fully at the floor and door and window
castings of the police Office that the room is
hardly recognizable to those who have
heretofore been accustomed to its dingy,
begrimed appearance. The old janitor was
a good man at the start, for he used TO scrub
the floor every day. Then he dropped
down to every other day, then to once a
week, then to once month, and finally he
abandoned the enterprise altogether. In
consequence of the sudden removal Of the
| thick crust of dirt from the windows yes
terday, the attaches of the Office all took
severe colds.

A MAYNARD LASS.
A White Girl Of Clinton County, Ohio,
Visits Nashville in Company
with a Young Negro.
They Take a Room at a COlOred Hotel,
and Are Arrested After
Midnight.

The chief of police of this city received
a telegram yesterday afternoon from Will
mington, Clinton county, Ohio, stating
that a liberal reward would be paid for the
arrest of a negro boy about eighteen years
of age, and white girl two or three years
his junior, who had left that
place in company last Monday. Officers
Foley, Pitts and Bolton set about TO work
up the case, and at 1890 this morning ar
rested the pair at the Harding House, a
negro hotel, ON Cherry street, where they
had engaged room and stopped for the
night.
Upon being brought to the station-house,
both the prisoners manifested considerable
uneasiness, and the young ladyat first shed
tears, but afterwards became more calm.
Her name is Hattie BuIduck, and she is
apparently about sixteen years old.
She seems to have been reared
in respectable society, has pleasant coun-
tenance and converses intelligently. She
was neatly attired in a black silk dress,
striped shawl and set of fIrs. She says
her father is a farmer, living near
the town mentioned above, and
is in easy circumstances. She met the negro
at the house of scLool-mate, and they
started for his home in Blouut county,
Tenn. She left her parents with the in
tention of marrying him, and says she
loves him as well as she could love any
man.
The negro, whose name is James Bow
erman, had lived with her father for three
years, and the family all thought a great
deal of him. She sometimes thought
she had done wrong, and then
again she would come to the
conclusion that she did not care. She
had been induced to leave home on account
of treatment received at the hands of her
mother. Her sisters had tod their mother
things about her that caused her to be
harshly treated.
The negro is near twenty years Of age,
stammers badly in conversation, and does
not seem to be much enamored of his fair
companion, stOutly denying having had
any intention to marry her. He says be
had nothing to do with inducing her TO
leave home; that she left of her own &C
cord. The girl and her colored attendant
brought a large basket and valise with
them, which were deposited at the police
headquarters.
A dispatch was sent TO the young lady's
father notifying him of the arrest.

The Late samuel Brockman.

Mention was made in these columns yes
terlay Of the fact that Mr.. Samuel Brock.
man, Of Clarksville, had committed sui
eide in that city Sunday night. The de-
ceased was insured for $1,000 in the Nash
vile Life, which company had decreased
its risk by reinsuring him for half the
amount in the Widow and Orphan Fund
Insurance Company of this city. The
Nashville Life was notified yesterday OF
Mr.. Brockman's death by their GAINESVILLE
agent.
The deceased took out his policy year
ago last month, at which time his life was
insured in the New York Life for $4,000,
and in the st. Louis Mutual for $1,000,
making total of $4,000. He had always
been in good health, and up to the time of
taking out his last policy, a year ago, had
not required the services of physician for
twenty years. He was engaged in the car
riage business at GAINESVILLE, was very CON-
foTtably situated, and no reason can be as
signed for bis taking his own life.
