Reporters and PsIIee Authorities.
Half a dozen arrests appeared on the
station'bouse docket last night, bat the
parties were arrested for minor oFenses.
There IS many q man arrested and i'm.
prisoned in the station-house for DAVIS
whose name does not appear on the
station.kouse docket, and this fact al.
ways causes a row between the newspa-
per reporters, who want to publish
everything, and the police authorities,
who want to suppress things until it
suits their pleasure to make it public or
keep it feom public notice altogether.
Numbers Of people are arrested whose
names never become public and for the
reason that the police authorities bull.
doze the reporters, but yet they ask more
favors OF reporters than any other class of
men we know Of, and they take the favors
more kindly than anybody. We give an
example: A robbery is committed, a
clerk or book.keeper has been knock
ing down" or stealing, for instance.
The employer visits the Office Of the DO.
lice authorities and the thief is arrested.
He is locked up at the stasion-house, no
name is put on the docket aud a com.
promise OF some kind is effected. The
criminal is turned loose and the news.
paper reporters are swindled out Of an
item. When it suits the pleasure of the
police authorities, whenever they want
notoriety or q puff, or an article advocat-
ing their especial interest with regard to
pay, they DO not stand back IN asking
for it. Their coyness disappears when
they want something, but when a re-
porter wants to solve some problem or
mystery the authorities are too often as
coy as maidens. Newspaper reporters
understand ali this.

Fire This mornine.

At 3 o'clock this morning a FIRE broke
out ia the kitchen in the rear Of Nos. 2l2
and 2l4 Main street, near Adams. The
former number, on the ground floor, was
occupied BY Herman Phillips as a mil.
linery and dress-makiug establishment,
and the latter BY G.. Doernberg as a mer.
chant tailoring establishment AID fur
nishinG goods. The upper story was oc.
cupisd as a clearinghouse by Mrs. App.
The alarm of FIRE was given by one of
the boardera, who was nearly sufocated
by the dense smoke. The fire started in
the kitchen in the rear and adjoining the
main building, and soon the flames
caught the stairway leading up TO the
third story Of the main building. Those
sleeping on the second floor got out,
but those sleeping in the thiyd-story
rooms had to be taken outof the windows
by the hook and ladder boys, commanded
BY Captain Pat Haley. The fire steam.
ers were put to work and in an hour the
flames were subdusd, The roof and IN.
per story of the building were DESTROYED.
aud considerable damage was done to
the second story. The goods in the two
stores underneath we're badly damaged
by water. Mrs. App had an insurance
for $500 on furniture, bedding, etc, in
Ton.linson's agency. The stocks of
goods in Phillips and Doernberg' 8 stores
are also insured. The building belongs
to Isaac Nsvills. The FIRE was evidently
the work Of an ~iucendiary.

His Lecture ut the GFeonIaW OneFa
House Last Night.
A very large, critical and fashionable
audience was present at the Greenlaw
Opera House last night and enjoyed the
humorous lecture on Irish PECULIAR
ties" which the Hon. S. S. Cox delivered
in an inimitabls style. The subject of
the lecture was Irish Humor," and for
an hour and a half the lecturer gave
pun after pun. which kept his hearers in
a broad grin and in fine humor. Many
passages in his lecture we're oratorical
and eloquent and we're received with
rounds Of applause. Mr.. Cox is a me.
dunn man in size, and aged between
ferty and fifty years. His hair, mus
tache and chin whiskers are dark but
tinged with gray. He wore a suit of
black, and used spectaCles. His style Of
delivery was not oratorical, but calmly
congressional. He enunciated distinctly.
as doall members Of congress, and made
but few gestures. He is a capital story
teller and gets of humorous remarks in
a comical manner. In closing his lee.
ture he launched off into a depression on
national and State politics, and uttered
many truths and statesmanlike views,
which met with a hearty response from
the pleased audience. Mr.. Cox delivered
the lecture for the benefit Of the Ladies'
Christian Association, and the result Pc
cuniarily was a big success. Mr.. Cox
was evidently pleased with his reception
in Memphis, aud the Memphis people
we're no less pleased with him.

Tax Collecting suit.

James Reilly, County Court clerk, has
fled a petition in the Chancery Court
alleging that under an act of the legisla-
ture to collect municipal revenue, ap.
proved March "a, 1875, be was invested
with power to collect all privilege taxes.
and under said laa he did collect said tax
to the amount o. $ll2, 1928 10 for the city
of Memphis. Thyt said statute was re-
pealed on March %, 1877, and that in
making q settlement with the officers of
the city of Memphis a controversy arose
as to the amount Of compensation which
should be paid him Tor collecting said
taxes. The act Of March "a, 1875, being
silent as to the matter the city officers
claim that such compensation is to be
governed By section GO of the act ap.
proved March %, 1875, or if not there is
an absence Of all law on the subject!
He, the petitioner, relies on section 455l.
subsection 81 Of the Code Of Tennessee.
as clearly fixing his compensation at q
per cent. on collections, and be prays
the Chancery Court to grant him a judg
ment for the amount, under said section
of the code.

most fashionable audiences ever seen

she render the lengthy aud difficult part.

while to appeal to the Mayer. When they
reached the arsenal gates he asked Major
Burlington TO supply the regiment with am

manner, telling him to clear out, as the regi-
ment would not be allowed to remain there a
