Loan or Merchants Tax.
The retail liquor dealers nave now to

ia called. Under the present ordinance
in force a liquor dealer cannot get GU,

as a kind of a forced loan to be collected
from liquor dealers and merchants in
January. When the assessment of tax
on capital was made in June-if the
amount Of said tax due by merchants
amounted to more than the twenty f ge
~dollars-they got credit for the latter
amount when paying their merchants
tax, but the liquor desler whose me

no credit, nor would one cent Of the over.
plus paid in the forced loan be refunded
him This curious law or ordinance is
still in force, and gave rise to a suit
brought by the liquor dealers resisting
the collection of the loan on the grounds
that it was unjust, illegal and oppressive,
The case has been argued before Judge
Heiskell, Of the Circuit Court, By Gen,
Horrigau for the liquor dealers, and by
City Attorney Walker for the city. Judge
Helskell has not as yet announced his
decision, but in the meantime pendtng

sci, liquor dealers are permitted totaka
out licenses by paying the regular priv.
isge tax, and without paying the twenty.

these rules-if you do not hang around

The Woodworking Tramps.

The steamer Grand Republic, which
was in port yesterday, needed deckhends
aud the captain offered fifty dollars per
month for such hands, but notwitt stand.
ing the fact that the town is infested with
a~ble'bodied and lazy trsmps, no bands
could be secured. The tramps prefer
haunting the station-honse, soup houses
and private residences. Tbef make
enough by begging, and stealing when
they get a chance. Real charity is to
hunt up your poor neighbors aud give
them what you q spare. The prowl.
ing tramp is a nuisance, and generally a
desd.beat. In Northern and Western
cities they put the tramps to work break
ing stone aud sweeping the streets. They
give t6em board and lodging and twenty
five cents PEI day, but if they wish 10
leave the city or town at any time they
are permitted to do so. The same sys.
TEN, il adopted in Memphis, would soon

tramps who have drifted down here into

The Appeal Of this morning contains
the following additional particulars:
After the murder. Drury returned to
Lords clearinghouse, on Promenade
street, where be had been stopping, and
procuring Lords gray horse. made haste
to leave the city. At the corner Of Beal
and Wellington streets he was discovered
by officer Mccall aud Captain Weather
ford, who fred several shots at the fUgi
tive. Captain Weatherford pursued
Drury for O mile, but was soon distanceC
by the murderer, whose horse was Aeetei
than the officers.
This morning it was discovered thai
Drury had visited Lords clearinghouse
after the murder, and left it Immediately
on foot. The mar shot at by the officers
was a German, who was on his way home
out in the suburbs, aud believing that he
was attacked by robbers, put spurs to his
horse and escaped from his pursuers
without being wounded, but the horse
was not so lucky, it having received a
pistol ball in the hip from the trusty
weapon OF Captain Weatherford.
THE MAN ON HORSEBACK.
The man on horseback shot at on Beal
street by Captain Weatherford was Julius
Maggie, who resides out near the GENE.
terry. BE says that he did not hear the
officers calling upon him to halt, and be-
lisying that he was attacked by robbers
he put spurs TO bis horse and gallopsd
homsward. de was fortunate in escap.
ing the bullets that we're sent afte' him
by the police officers, who had coed rea-
son to believe hat he was the fugitive
from justice, Robert Drury.
SHERIFF ANDERSON on A SCOTT.
As soon IS Drury committed the MUIR
der be hurriei to Lords DO clearinghouse,
on Promenade street, and entering By

MEMPHIS THEATER Next Thursday.
Friday and Saturday, nights, and Satur.
day matinee, Mrs. Henrietta Ckanfrsu
will appear at the theater in Tayleure's
comedy Of Parted. The Baltimore San
says of the actress aud the play, which
was presented at the Academy of Music
in that city recently:
Mrs. Henrietta Chanfrau, for whom
the piece was written, p~ersonated the
h%eraine, and in several scenes, notably
in the strong situation at the end of the
third act, challenged many enthusiastic
recognitions OF her power. She was
complimented with a recall before The
curtain at the close Of every act. The
support accorded her by Mr.. Tay leUre's
New York company was in the main
good Mr.. Mordsunt and Mr.. Burroughs
among the gentlemen, and Miss Came
ron and Mrs. Burroughs among the la
dies, having deserved attention. Parted
was superbly cestumed and beautifully
mounted. The scene in the first act
representing a view of New York bay
from Staten Island was quite effective.
