RAILROAD WARFARE.
The Southeastern Pitches into the

What the Latter Does for $3.50 the
Former Proposes to do
for $3.50.

Handbills were gotten out yesterday an
nOuncing reduction of the fare to Louis
vile, via the st: Louis and Southeastern
and Louisville, Paducah and Southwestern
Railroads to $3.50. The Southeastern has
thus adopted the same policy toward the
Louisville and Nashville that it began ashOrt
time ago toward the Nashville, ChattanOO-
ga and st. Louis Railroad. In both cases
il is the result alike of a refusal 10 recOg-
nize through checks or rates Of the South
eastern,
The campaign began yesterday, however,
il The more interesting on account of two
remarkable condolences: The warning
lines have a common track ten miles north
ward from Nashville and AZ miles south
ward from Louisville.
The new cheap route will be from this
city to Nortonville, KY, via the South
eastern-95 miles; thence 10 Louisville,
via the Louisville, Paducah and South

miles.
Length of the Louisville and Nashville,
1S5 miles.
Difference in favor of the latter, G0miles.
The fare to LOuisvillesby the Louisville

Difference in favor of the Southeastern,
$500.
Fare per mile by the Louisville and
Nashville, faction over cents.
Fare per mile by the Southeastern, a
fraction over 1 cent.
The common track referred to lies be-
tween Nashville and Edgefield Junction
and between Louisville and ElizabethtOwn.

NURDEROUS WORK.
Four Men Killed snd Two wounded in
an Alabama ARRAY.
M0nfrOmerV A0VertiseT, JuIV =


A fearful shooting affray occurred on
Monday last, near PeTididO station, in
Baldwin county, in which four men were
killed and two others wOunded-fatally,it is
said. The story, as we hear it, is in sub
stance as follows
Mr.. Buyers, a Justice Of the Peace, had
a stock range in which the stock of bis
neighbOrs ran At will. For some cause be
resolved to fence other stock OF this range,
aud did fence them OfI-lesviDg it open 20
his only. A family by the name of Had
ley and another by the name of Stewart,
friends snd relatives each Of the other, BE-
came enraged at Dryers conduct and called
to see him about il. What passed at
the interview we did not hear, except that
as the former turned % 60, one Of them
promised to see Buyers aga.n on the subject.
What this promise meant, may be inferred
from the sequel. On Monday last, the
Hadleys and Stewards, six in number, rode
up to Dryers residence ami called him out.
They were armed with dOuble-barrelled
shot guns, but not dreaming that they
meant TO harm him, the old man and one
Of his boys went out to meet them. As
these left the door the six men at the gate
opened fire upon them, killing both. Another
son of Buyers, who was in the house when
the firing began, seized a shot gun and rife
and ran into the yard. Meanwhile, how
ever, the party at the gate had taken 70
cover, and those Of them whose weapons
had not been discharged in the first onset
shot the third son, their shot taking effect
in his side. But he held his ground brave
" and with such effect that he succeeded
in killing two Of his assailants and wound
ing a third. The Others fed. Great in
dignatiOn is felt by the citizens Of Baldwin
county, and energetic efforts are being made
TO capture the abscOnding murderers and
bring them to justice. Il the details Of
this crime are as we have heard them, it is
one Of the fOulest deeds that ever disgraced
even the annals Of crime, in this or any
other country.

SPROUTED WHEAT.
How to Make the Most of Our Surplus.

How TO Make the Most OF Our Surplus.
Assignment ola thousand bushels of wheat
was made recently from Columbia, Tenn,
to st. Louis, but the wheat not passing the
test there, was rejected and returned.
The reason was that it contained a mixture
of grain damaged by the rains. This diff
Guilty is a very serious one. OF course it
cannot be helped where the wheat is dam
aged through and through; but in all cases
where the good bundles can be separated
from the bad, before threshing, it
will pay the farmer handsomely to
separate. 1t must not be forgotten
that, according to the classification in i'm
pOrtant markets, that a mixture of bad
with good, however slight, brings the whole
down to the grade of he inferior. A mix
ture of equal parts Of sound and unsOund
wheat will not command an average price,
but rather the price that the unsOund
see TenneSsee's farmers get the maximum
Of money for their surplus, and hence take
special care TO put this matter before the
attention Of such as may not already fully
appreciate its vital Importance.
Yesterday was comparatively
dry day-possibly the beginning
Of at least an intermissiOn
of wet weather. Il would be well for
those having wheat still in the shock, and
who are not prepared to thresh at once, to
stack their wheat as precautionary meas
Ure against further damage. We hope
there are few so discouraged as 10 neglect
this, and that all VIII make the most of
the situation. There is certain pay in
what We have advised.

The number of enterprises on foot in
Nashville and their magnitude are certainly
a matter for congratulation, when we hear
of nothing but the prostTation of the bust
ness Of the country. The signs of life and
progress here do not argue that there is no
depression or belittle the universal com
plant Of hard times. They only show the
character of this city.
Residents Of the locality complain that
there is an open cellar on West Broad
street just beyond McNairy, deserving the
attention Of the sanitary authorities, as a
nuisance of the first magnitude. 1t con-
taiDs enough water to put in solution an
immense amount of garbage coming into
it and breed frogs and mosquitoes of the low
est class. If it were hidden under a resi-
dence like a dozen or more other cellars,
equally as productive of mortal disease,
we would not think of calling attention TO
IL.
A South Nashville young man the other
evening forgot an engagement with party
till it was too late to meet it punctually.
He set out at as rapid a gait as he could
possibly 60, thinking to lose only a few
minutes at the most. His strides were so
long and his movement so swift that he
was stopped dozen times by friends eT-
citedly inqUiring what the matter was.
From this circumstance We draw the
moral that there is such thing as hasten
ing too fast. You will often get there
quicker by going slower.

The Type Writer.-The Indimqpoli,

The Type WriteT.-The Indianapolis
Mechanical journal talks as follows con-
corning the Type Writer:
We mentioned last month the intrOduc-
ton of the Type Writer upon this market
by Messrs. Hutchinson 4 Co. During the
past two weeks we have been using one of
them in our office, and from our experience
we can say much more in recommendation
Of them than we were previously inclined
to do. We have used it for our correspond
ence, and in so doing have effected very
great saving in time. The letters written
upon It copy perfectly and are just as easily
read as a printed page. We have also used
it in editorial writing, indeed, for every
purpose for which we would ordinarily use
a pen or pencil. Although not yet expert
in the manipulation of the keys, with less
than ten days practice, we are easily able
10 write fully twice as fast as with pen or
pencil.
The business men of the city who have
very much correspondence are learning and
approaching its advantages, and quite
large number Of them have already been
sold. Professional men, especially, find
them exceedingly valuable. We can say
without hesitation that in any office where
there is a considerable amount of cores
pOndence, they will very soon repay the ex-
penditure in the time saved, while it is very
much easier and healthier for the operator
than sitting over a desk. They are very
simple, can be used without any instruc-
ton, as the operation is eOmprehended at a
glance, are not liable to get out Of order and
fulfill every requirement Of a business office,
either for letter writing or copying.
These machines are now on exhibition
and for sale by J. Clary Il Co. at Sc North

Remington Sewing Machines and also for

TIE "ACME SHIRT"
AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.
NashVIIIe's Future Facilities for
Handling Cotton.


The object Of the visit made to this city
a day or two ago by Col. Fink, Superin-
tendent of the Louisville, Nashville and
Great Southern Railroad, was of consider
able local Importance. He concluded ne
gOtiatiOns which had been. for some time in
progress, by which the old Decatur depot
in South Nashville will be cOyerted into a
cotton warehouse, and other spacious
buildings erected near by, on the railroad
cOmpany's property, for a similar purpose.
IL is proposed to concentrate the cotton trade
of Nashville at that point, and with
this view the storage facilities will be on
the most comprehensive plan. Cotton can
be loaded on and unlOaded from the cars of
the Louisville, Nashville and Great South
ern and the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis railroad tracks with the greatest ease
and at comparatively little expense, while
a compress of ample capacity has been in
operation there for sometime past. Ar
engagements for handling grain can also be
made on the same extensive scale.
The enterprise is in charge Of the "Nash-
vile Warehouse Company" the incorpor-
atOrs of which are MeSsrs. j. p. Mcclure,
K. II. Dudley, j. 7. Wheless, II. H. Nc
Allister, j. II. Wilkes, Z. Hancock, j. Z.
Gilbert and Leonard Parkes. Having Sc
cured a charter, they are now maturing
plans for putting up such Improvements as
may be needed. II is a big scheme, and
cannot but result very beneficially to the
cotton trade of Nashville.

OFF-HAND WITH GUNS.
DiSagreeRbIe Meeting Between Two
CheathaIn County Farmers.

A DfsagreeabIe Meeting Between Tive
Cheatham County Farmers.
A little shooting affair is reported from
GuptOn's y Roads, in the Sixth Civil Dis
trict of Cheatham county. Mr.. George
Hale did the shooting, and a man named
McCarral was the man who received the
slugs, shot, bullets and things. The par
ties had a piece of land sOWed in wheat,
and when the wheat vas harvested they
disagreed about the amount which fell to
each ones share. The disagreement re-
suited first in a quarrel, and then as above,
and thereby hangs two tales:
McCarral says he was on his way to his
field to engage in ploughing, carrying an
empty gun in his hand to its owner, who
lived near McCarrals cOrnfield; that Hale
had concealed himself behind temporary
ratification, from which he fired several
times on him, shivering his right arm and
sending one or two loads into his right
side. Hale says that McCarral had been
carrying a gun for him for several days;
that as they accidentally met that morning,
McCarral leveled his gun and fired one
shot at him, but that he jumped behind
stump and escaped the load from McCar-
rails gun, and then turned loose his shoot
ing iron on McCarTal.
Hale surrendered himself to the authOTi-
ties and was required to give bond for his
appearance at the next term Of court,
which he did.
