KNIGHTS OF rYrH,,s REUNION.

Prescott Lodge of Knight" of Pythias held I R.-union, last evening at their hall which was v'ry pleasant uffhr. The room was fl led with lhc membersot the order. and large number of Prescott best citizens. The programme of exercises which consisted in an address by Hon. Paul Weber,recitaticns, solgs, duets, violin solos, etc. etc, was most excellent, and we do not remember of ever having attended re union where ev. ry- ming went If cqutlly smooth with that given by ihe lodge last evening. The r'ci' taiion by Mr. Newell was partcu'ariy good and rcceised the praise of all wh' were so fniiulaie as to be present The playing by Mrs. Brown was also appreciated, and the violin so'os by McMiian elicl,ed praise. Prescott (we arc happy to say) contains more musical taloLt than is generally met wlth, in frontier towns or places where the inhahi ants double that of ours. Although the Knights of Phythias are comparatively in their infancy here, they have nevertheless made great advancement, snd convinced the people that there Is meri, m tlner secret order,

TWICE SHOT.
Probable Murder About Dirty Dishes


The pantrymen at the Peabody
Hotel, a yellow boy named John
Logan, shot, and il is said, fatally
wounded a colored waiter named John
Wallace, shooting twice, hitting his
adversary in the lower groin and lower
bowels, and also in the knee. The
occurred shortly after dark last
night. Logan, in his statement, says
he and Wallace had a quarrel yester-
day afternoon about the latter placing
dirty dishes on the pantry floor against
the rules Of the house that he was
threatened by Wallace, and that he
went home and procured a pistol to de-
fend himself if attacked. Last evening
Wallace renewed the quarrel, and
stepped back with a motion of his
hand as if to draw a weapon. Think
ing he meant immediate business,
Logan made quick time, and 6redupon
Wallace, with the result as related.
The shooting Logan has been COM
mitted to Jail to await the result Of
Wallace'swounds. The latter boosted,
during the first quarrel, Of having
killed a darky in St. Louis, which
cost him 800 to acquit himself Of, and
he had an idea that he could kill an
other almost as cheap. Logan was
afraid he might be as good as his
word, so prepared himself.

tl,e Tenor.

The great tenor singer, Brignoli,
who sang with De Murska at Estival
Park last summer, sailed from New
York to Europe last Saturday, and we
are not likely to hear his voice again
in this country. He has been engaged
by MaplesOn as ono of the leading
%tcnors for his next London operate
season. No Italian tenor has held so
firm a place among Americans of late
years as Brignoli. On Friday last a
complimentary benefit was given him
in New York, the opera Of Don Pas
quale being given at Wallack's Thea
ter with the following cast Norma,
Mile lima de Murska; Ernesto,
Signor Brignoli DIR. Malatesta, Sig
nor Ferranti Don Pasquale, Signor
Susini. Speaking Of the tenor's in
tended departure the New York Her.
aid says:
The temperance Of Brignoli, the
silver-yoiced tenor, and Max Ma
retzok, the veteran conductor, rovives
memories of the musical past and sug-
gests the reflection hat it is now just
twenty-four years since Maretzek,
then a vigorous public servant, first
presented BrignOli, then a youth of
twenty-five, to the opera-going people
of this city. The memory of the great
Salvi was yet green in New York, and
as Brignoli came up the bay on the
I'D of February, 1855, the glees ofthe
Choral Union were echoed from the
shores of Staten Island, while Mario
wavodau rcvoir and passed through the
Narrows en- route TO London and the
continent. Maretzek announced Brig
noli, with Steffanoni and Badiali, on
Easter Mondon, and they achieved an
instant success in "Lucretia Borgia."
Brignoli remained here ten years,
making many friends in social and
musical circles. In 1865 he returned
to Europe to sing with Patti. In 1861
he came back with Bateman and
Parepa, remaining two years. His
next appearance here was with the
Christine Nilsson Troupe, in 1873, and
the last with Titiens, in 1875. During
his last quarter of a century Brignoli
made between $4,000 and 100000.
but little of which remains. He is
now under engagement with Mr..
Mapleson, and leaves for Europe on
the 10Th instant, twenty four years
since he first appeared.

The man VIM. Parker, who so
cruelty murdered Mrs. w. C. c.
Foster, near the Fair Grounds a few
weeks since. is expected here to-day
under charge of Sheriff y. l.. Nc
GOwan. The general opinion Of those
in a position to know is, that Woods
and Parker are equally guilty Of the
monstrous crime. The belief is that
one used the iron spike or top maui to
crush in her head, and the other a
Ratchet. The marks Of both weapons
were observed on her dead body. 1t
is stated that in the trial of Woods
the jury we're a unit on the subject Of
the guilt Of the bloody murderer; the
only difference was in their inability
to reconcile certain conflicting testi-
mony on the part Of tho woman Maria
to her child, she having made differ
ent statements in regardto the matter.
first four Of the jury were not in
favor of an unqualified verdict Of
murder. All, however, agreed to such
a finding after they had deIibcrated
nearly four days, and slept swoetly on
it several nights. 1t is to be hoped
that Parker will have a speedy trial
and a certain conviction. No punish
ment is severe enough for villains so
bloody and monstrous.

A person named james Wilson, said
to be formerly barkeeper at Church's
saloon in this city, has been p~raeticing
deception upon the people about Her
nandO and SenatObia He claimed to
be a white man, put up his sign as a
lawyer, said he was related to promi-
nent people in this city and elsewhere,
rented an Office and undertook to
marry a mulatto girl who was to
meet him at the depot. The wo-
mai was said by some to be
named Scilla Hill, and hailed from
LaGrange. Others called her Mary
Ann Dalap Of Memphis. Wilson
made all preliminary arrangements to
have the ceremony performed, when
upon the arrival Of the expectant
bride a squad Of roisterers pounced
upon him. This squad believed the
young man white, aud they gave him
a coat of pure whitcwash. This
ceremony occurred at fernando. He
next went to Senatobia where the
boys plaStercd him with a blacking-
ing brush. The Senatobia Express, in
reciting the details, says
The affair, so much to be regretted
by all, seriously considered, is melan-
choly in the extreme. If the young
man is whom he represents himself to
be, he has brought ruin upon himself
and shame to an honored family, and
there is but one theory Of explana-
ton to his strange and erratic con-
duct, and that is insanity"
