of their spirit Of personal, patricstc virtue,
and we may say he was the last American

through which the nation passed.

wearing an Undesirable look Of expect

dire calamity, the premonition OF whose
advent is felt in the very atmosphere.
Though dressed in their usual Sunday

serenity which usually prevails on the day
Of rest, but instead look Of sadness was
on almost every countenauce. And well

The British Thuuderer.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The London Times
in its obituary article on Andrew johnson,
says his career illustrates both the strong
and weak points of the American social
and political systems. During his tenure
of Office he showed himself wanting in
tact, refinement and knowledge of men,
yet he had some qualities which are not so
abundant in American politics as to be
despised when found. He had dauntless
courage, some political insight and honesty
never Swallowed by suspicion.
Knoxville Press and Herald, Aug. l.
A HISTORICAL FLAG.
Major Sterl. Hambright, though opposed
in political sentiment to Mr.. johnson,
recognizing in him a warm, personal friend,
and feeling a regard and high appreciation
for the oft-expressed sentiment of the dead
statesman, s'tO be buried in the flag of his
country" telegraphed, yesterday morning,
to the beTeaved family he had a fac
60xS0 feet which the family could have
to bury the ex-President in, if acceptable.
This is the finest flag in East Tennessee,
and is the individual property of Major
Hambright, and the offer speaks well for
the esteem in which Mr., johnson was held
by his political opponents.
The flag was captured from Gen. Rose
cranz by Gen. Bragg, at Chicamauga, and
taken TO Richmond. Subsequently it was
re-taken in the battle before Saulsberry,
North Carolina, by Gen. StOneman's com
nand, with which Maj. Hambright was
connected as Provost Marshal, and fell tt
the possession of Mai. Hal bright. In ha'
since been used on public occasion at Knox
vile, such as Decoration days, etc.
Maj. Hambright received a telegram
from the family of Mr.. johnson accept
ing his kind offer, and the fas
has been forwarded with the request
from Maj. Hambright If that is too largt
to answer the purpose, to present it to Mrs
Slower, the daughter of the ex President
with his regards, in order that the FLAG may
be as a mementO to the johnson family o.
the high regard in which the ex-Presiden
was held, and a lasting emblem of hi.
faithfulness to the Union and the Consti
tuition.
Free Trains.
There is, says our informant, a general
hope among the country people that tn
railroad company will run free specia
trains on the day of the funeral. The dead
hero was an especial favOrite with The
masses; ''tbe common people heard hin
gladly" and thousands Of them auxiously
| long to pay the last, sad tribute of respec
| to candy Johnson"

and friends, had assembled 60 receive with
honor and respect the IifeleSs form of him

residence of the deceased, where the body
was removed from the coffin and placed in a
beautiful silver mounted casket, lined with
white satin, being meanwhile EMBODIED in
a beautiful silken National flag, while in
one hand was the Constitution, thus COM
plying with his Oft-repeated request that
the flag Of his country should be his wind
ing-sbeet and in his hand the Constitution.
The banner was the gift of Perez Dickin-
son, Esq, of Knoxville, an old and es-
teemed friend of Mr.. johnson. The casket
bore the simple inscription: "Andrew
johnson, born 1905"
In order to meet the sOuthern-bOund
train, this morning, at Carriers Depot, the
remains were brought over from Mrs.
Browns at u o'clock last night, which
were accompanied by his son, Andrew
johnson, Jr., and his daughter, Mrs. Pat
terson.
Special trains are expected from Wash
ington, New York, Cincinnati, and other
cities, while excursion trsins will run from
both ends Of the line on the East Tennes-
see, Virginia and Georgia railroad. It was
the desire of large number of his friends
to delay the funeral until Wednesday, but
in view of the warmth Of the weather, de-
composition has already commenced. and
the undertaken thinks it will be necessary
TO close the casket tomorrow morning
The burial place is on high hill, short
distance from town, and was long since
selected by The deceased as the place in
which he desired to rest.

CHURCH SCANDAL.
Mrs. DIR. George, Wife OF Presbyterian
Minister, Officially Ntnd1cated-
Trial Of Her Accuserss
st. Louis Times, l9th.l

st. Louis Times, l9th.l
Yesterday morning the Presbyterian
church, corner of Webster and Twelfth
streets, was largely attended by con-
gregation interested in hearing the Off
cial vindication Of the character of Mrs.
B. Y. George, the wife Of the pastor OF
the church. 1t was alleged that certain
disaffected members of the church, who
were opposed to the pastor, circulated
slanderOus reports about his wife, and
accused her with immoral and unchrls-
tan conduct. The lady demanded an
investigation, either civil or ecclesiastl-
cal. The church session, or society, took
the affair under advisement, and referred
the case for trial to the st. Louis pres
bytery. This presbytery's committee
was one week in session and heard the
testimony Of about forty witnesses. The
decision was that Mrs. George was in
nocent OF the charges, and had been
victim Of SANDER. The committee,
Messrs. Logan, Hunton, DR.. w. M. Nc
Pheeters and E, II. Chapman, recon-
mended that the church society try and
punish the members of the church who
were engaged in originating or mali
ciously circulating the ISLANDERS. The
pulpit OF the Webster street Presbyte-
rian church was occupied by Rev. AL
bert Shotwell, editor Of the st. Louis
and Memphis Presbyterian. Rev. Mr..
Shotwell was delegated by the commit
tee of the presbytery to read the report
of the committee to the congregation.
This report, as published in the Times
of the sixteenth instant, was read amid
the solemn silence and earnest at
tentiOn of the listeners. The
meeting Of this church society or seq
sion was called for next Wednesday,
when all the members are expected TO
be present and act upon the recommen-
dalton of the presbytery committee. At
this meeting it is probable that COM
mittee will be appointed to try the TWEEN
ty-five or thirty members, mostly ladies
OF responsibility and position in the
northern part of the city, who are &C.
cused of slandering Mrs. George. Rev.
Robert G. Drank, pastor Of the Central
Presbyterian church, will be the mod
orator or Judge at the trial. The church
trouble causes considerable excitement
in church and society circles. 1t is said
that the persons accused will make an
effort to have the trial secret, but that
the majority of the members will try to
have the proceedings public.

How q Business Man who Came TO
Memphis was Deceived by his
Wife In Little Rock.

Little Rock Gazette, Goth.
Generally it is the case that with truth
they cry "fsitbless husbands" but for
once at least, within the recollection OF
young men, they can cry faithless wife.
The wife to whom we refer is cookbook
ing and young; in fact, several years
younger than her husband, probably
about a dozen years. To keep out of
trouble we suppress names for the
present, as every effort has been made TO
keep the affair from becoming public
talk. The husband is engaged in BUSH
ness in Memphis temporarily. He left
Little Rock, as the story runs, about
two weeks ago, to be absent until Sep
TENDER. For reasons best known 10
himself, he concluded to pass Sunday
with his family, and arrived in town
about two o'clock Sunday morning.
Taking hack he hurried to his resi-
dence, anticipating, no doubt, hearty
welcome from his heretofore faithful
wife. He was surprised to see light
burning in his Wiie's room, and supposed
at once that she was i'll. Knocking
hastily, and, perhaps, little nervously
at the door, he was astOnished to see the
bright rays eXtinguished. Voices were
heard within, and, at last, timid voice
inquired, "Who is it?" The wanderer
gave his name, and his wife gave
scream and tainted. The door gave
away from force, and stepping over the
PROSTATE body of his wife, Mr.. with
cooked revolver, bounded up stairs
two steps at time. A half-dressed
man he saw, who sprang through the
second. story window and escaped. He
fired one shot at the fugitive, but,
blinded with rage, and nerves unstrung,
his aim was anything but accurate, and
the LothariO escaped. The villain is a
clerk; is absent from town to-day. The
husband returned to Memphis, and the
wife, spurned and held in loathing con-
tempt by her husband, has "gone to

WADDY THOMPSON.
A Jury Impane1ed and the Trial
Commensurate. w. Carroll Turns
States Evidence and Tells
His story.

In the criminal court, yesterday
morning, the jury in the case OF the
State OF Tennessee UerSuS Waddy
Thompson, indicted for alleged larceny,

George Roots, w. s. Taylor, J. w. AL
lison, II. F. FarnswOrth, J. S. Smith, J.
c.. Fleming, w. B. Battle, B. Skipwith,
and J. Il. Washington. B. W. Carroll,
who, with st. Louis lawyer named Ar
nett, was indicted with Thompson,
turned States witness, and yesterday
told all he knew about the alleged lar
ceny for which the accused is now being
tried. His story was replete with in
terestiDg features, and has ELECTED gen.
cral comment, as no one expected him
to testify against his friend Thompson.
However, he has unbOsoued his secrets
to the court, and there is now much
speculation as to the effect his
evidence will have in determin.
We are informed that no forfeiture has
been taken in the bond of Arnett,
and have made this statement to rectify
any erroneous impression that may
have been caused by our publication of
the matter in yesterdays APPEAL. In
addition to Carroll, w. B. Gates, United
States Marshal l.. B. Eaton, and Horace
E. Andrews, clerk Of the United States
circuit court, were examined. The
indictments against Thompson, Ar
nett and Carroll are as follows:
One for horse stealing from w.
B. Gates, one for hOrse- rea il
from D. Patrachi, one for ATTEMPT ~
steal, take and carry away two ln',hr.d
barrels of liquors from Hendrix, Carter
& Co.; two for perjury and one for steal
ing shrubbery from F. GOebels. The
jury was placed under charge of Deputy
Sheriff5 Dreyfus and Powell yesterday
afternoon, and the court adjourned until
nine O'Clock this morning, when it will
resume the examination of witnesses for
the prosecution. The case attracts large
crowds to the courthouse, and will be
closely contested, as an able corps Of
lawyers appears for the State and the
defense. Mr.. Thompson is defended by
Judge Archibald Wright, General W..
Y. c. Humes, G. P. NJ. Turner and ].

Shelby county and w. B. Greenlaw as.
Shelby county, decided in favor OF the
plaintiffs for the respective sums OF ST.
1859 90 and S24, 743 "a. The actions were
instituted by the plaintiffs for services
rendered by particular persons and ma
terial furnished in the building of the
Shelby county jail, for which they re-
ceived what is known as the Barbour
Lewis warrants. The supreme court,
however, having decided that the county
commissioners were not legal board,
and that the warrants issued were not
obligatory upon the county, the plain
tiffs presented the same as evidence only
of services rendered and material fur
nished the county. Hence, they sued
for actual services, etc, and the warrants
were only intended to show what ser-
vices, ETC., were rendered. In the
CASE OF W. H. CHERRY,
the Jury allowed the following claims:
]. D. Davis, register, $3.50; Fred Schap-
er, tsx-collectoT, 500; Martin Ryder,
painter, $500; John p. Rodgers, $500;
NJ, T. Williamson, registrar, $50: Hugh
CloustOn, S55; total, Sll55; interest on
the same, Sl3S go, making 1928 so;
also Lunn & MallOn for divers gas-tit-
ting, ETC., S2O76; J. B. Cook, architect,
S410O; ]. J. Powers, contractor, $4,000;
making the total judgment for plaintiff,
SII, 469 so. The following claims of the
plaintiff were disallowed: Jail guards,
Sl475; Memphis Avalanche, $S4; J. e.
Merriman for poor, Sll55; Barbour Lew
is, $3.50; w. a. White, $500; Ed Shaw,
1888 SO; F. w. Lewis, 1888 80; William
Huck, 500; J. E. Merriman, 1888 SO;
Mrs. NJ. J. M'COmbs, $500; sundry war
rants, $500; total, S8353 SO. The same
jury in the
CASE OF w. B. GREENLAw
allowed the following claims: J. J.
Sears, $500; John P. Boughner, registrar,
$500; w. II. Bridges, building bridges,
work, S4S3 80; total, 1888 80, which,
with interest (S165 96), amounts to
Sl549 90. The following additional
claims were also allowed: Lunn Mall
lon, gas-fitting, 1892 Is; J. B. Cook,
architect, SI100; J. J. Powers, contrac-
tor, S17,700. Total amount of judgment
for S24, 743 "a.
The following claims were disallowed:
Jail guards, 1875; supplies for Jail,
1868 p; funds for poor, $500; clerk hire
and advertisement, Sl65; salaries of
commissioners, S2563 80; losses on war
rants, Sl843; election services, $40; to-
tai, S6l25 05.
We would state that the county court
paid all of the Barbour Lewis jury war
rants which were deemed to be just, but
refused the others, and appealed to the
supreme court. The plaintiffs in the
causes decided yesterday purchased the
warrants and instituted suit to recover
the amount due for services and mate.
rial, etc., as shown by the warrants.
