NO INJUNCTION.
Judge Baxter's Edicts--He Will
Not Allow the Injunction
to Issue,
But Permits a Supplemental Bill to be
Flled-..PartiaI Text of His
Decision.

In his decision Judge Baxter holds
that no injunction is necessary, as any
one interfering With the assets of the
city in Receiver Latham's hands, or
attempting to take possession of the
same, would be in contempt of court.
lie, however, grants the prayer of
complainants asking leave to file a
supplemental bill, but refuses the in
junction prayed for. His language in
part is as follows:
The melton by complainants for
leave to file an amended and supple

for an injunction came on and was
heard by me at Knoxville, Tenn, on
Saturday, the 9th inst. These motions
were argued orally by Mr.. Sneed for
complainants and;Mr. Meriwether for
himself, and now, after lawful consid

it is ordered first, that the leave asked
to file an amended and supplemental
bill be, and the same is hereby granted,
and | notify that the application for
an injunction be for the present de-

Among other features of the decis-
ion, Judge Baxter, in his concluding
remarks says;
Nor it necessary to keep defendant,
Merlwether, from instituting or pre-
scriblng suits against other persons
not parties to this proceeding. All
that this court claims the right to dc
is to collect the accounts Of the city

apply the same to the payment Of com
plainants aud such other creditors as
shall hereafter make themselves par
ties to this suit.
Nor is it deemed unnecessary to en-

notice claiming to be the rightful re-
ceiver of the city, entitled to the
assets in controversy, nor from disuad.

But, in regard to the statutory lien, your

This is matter which, of course,
seriously concerns the railroads rather

THE New York Tribune, which Is
generally as unkind and unfair as
possible toward the South, goes so far
in the direction of the truth as to say
this much for Texas
The people of Texas are anxious to have
it distinctly understood that Currie, who
killed Benjamin G. Porter in Marshall,
was not Texan, but an Ifishman from
the banks Of the Shannon. His biography
is a bloody one, murder in one shape or
another having been the main business of
his lifeE The warmest opponent of capt
tai punishment must see the necessity OF
getting finally rid of this assassin, if hang
ing can ever be iustifable. He has killed.

Captain Fisher, of the army; 4. In Els
worth, Ks, woman and two men, besides
mortally wounding four other persons !;
). He participated in several bloody trays
in Memphis. Evidently he has always
been a most uncomfortable and danger
ous person to have anything to do with.
He was ignorant, self-important, passion
ate, and passed most of his time in quar-
reling with his fellew-creatures In May
he will be indicted for the murder of Mr..
Porter, and the probability is that he will
be found guilty and executed In Mar

lynch him; fortunately its own vindica-
ton was left to the law. But, to the cred

no more wants this Jim Currie, this two
legged Bengal tiger, than the most quiet
and easy-going country town in New
England would want him. Texas cannot
prevent such fry from drifting down
there, but she does not harbor nor defend
and protect them as she once did; and the
fact is greatly to her credit.

Pneumonia Preventive.

A Virginia physician states that new

water being more or less impregnated
with mineral solutions, some of which

system, but subsequently reacting apd

water used In such localities can. be
easily purified by putting from three to
five drops of nitric acid into each buck
ct of water and allowing it to stand
over night, or at least. eight hours.
Two thirds OF it should then be drawn
or poured Off for use and the balance
thrown away, as that contains the pre-

THE CHINESE WEBBING.
An Emphatic "N0" from the Almond.
eyed Bride.

Yesterday brief account of a Chin
ese wedding appeared in these columns.
One who was present when the cere-
mony was performed gives us the fol-
lowing particulars of the affair: The
groom was All Guy, one of the princi-
pal merchants of this place, and the
bride was Lin Que, one of the most
bewitching bellies of Chinatown. They
applied to County Clerk Job for a
marriage license, and took the usual
oath that they were of lawful age, etc.
Judge Bonnitield was called upon to
perform the ceremony, and s. s. Grass,
h. A. Pryor, Asa, the Chinese cook,
and other Cinnamon were the witnesses.
Asa, who was born in the United States
and speaks good English, acted as in
terpreter. The ceremonies were very
impressive, and the bride and groom
rather enjoyed the novelty of being
married according to the American
fashion, until the fair Lin Que was
ashed if she would love, honor and
obey All Guy. She answered No in
plain English. This created quite a
sensation, and the groom trembled.
The interpreter was equal to the emer-
gency, however, and he prevailed upon
the strong-minded fair one to change
her mini and her answer. S. S. Grass
gave away the bride after he had i'm
pressed kiss on her lips that sounded
like the noise made by horse when
dlawing his hooks out OF stiff mud; but
before the groom had opportunity to
embrace her, the Judge got in a smack
that resounded through the Court house
as if pot Of mush had been thrown
from the dome to the floor. When the
happy couple recovered from the shock,
they shook hands with those present,
hurried to the depot, and took the
train to spend the honey moon with
Celestial friends, elsewhere.
