SHOT TO DEATH.
Sardl.Gras killing at New Orleans.

Sell Howell, well known among rail
road men in this city, has met has fate.
Yesterday in an affray at New Orleans
with A. t. Wimberly, of C~ofeeville,
Miss, he was shot and instantly killed.
Mr.. Howell was a resident here for
ten years or more after the war, and
on several occasions was mixed in
broils and quarrels. In one of his
fracases he killed Jerry Riorden, and
the trouble was a source of annoyance
to his friends. Sell Howell was a
mar Of generous inquiries, and he pos
sessed many good qualities. 1t was
only when under the influence of
drink that he manifested a turbulent
disposition, but at such times he was
regarded as a dangerous man. The
dispatch from New Orleans says Ed
Howell, a brother, shot Wimberly in
the back after the latter killed Sell
Howell, and that Wimberly will not
live. Ed Howell, like his brother,
was at times anything but a genial
spirit. He is reported to be under ar
rest to answer for the part he took in
the ARRAY.
1t was at the French Garden, a pub
lie resort beyond the southern limits
of the city that Jerry Riordan received
a bullet wound from a pistol fired by
Sell Howell, from the effects of which
he died several months later at his
rooms on Jefferson street. The suf-
ferer fingered until he fell away to a
skeleton, and in the final trial of the
case it was shown that death may have
resulted from other disorders there
fore Howell evaded punishment. In
the same row Mr.. Albert Beer
received a shot in the leg.

MEMPHIS THEATER. - Geneyieye
Rogers, the sprightly and pleasant
little actress, aided by Mr.. Frank Il.
Aiken, will make their last appearance
at the Memphis Thcater tonight in
Cousin Roxy, a domestic play, written
expressly for and exactly suited to
the talents and capacities Of the
fair Genevieye. The attendance at
last nights performance, at which
Miss Rogers enacted the part Of
a" Sam Willoughby, in the Ticket
of-Leavc-N an, was only fair,
owing, doubtless, to the numerous
balls, concerts and other festivities at
various places throughout the city.
The matinee in the afternoon, at which
Maud Muller was performed, also
drew lightly. The troupe, however,
acted their several parts on each occa-
sion with the same spirit and good
will that attended their first appear
anee.
Tomorrow night Milton Mobiles aud
company will make their appearance
in The Ph@nix, or the villain still
pursued her.

Nashville American, 25th.l
Jere Baxter, Esq, editor Of the
Legal Reporter, has received the APP
pointment of assistant reporter by the
unanimous voice Of the members of
the Supreme Court of Tennessee.
This is at once a recognition of pro-
fesslonal capacity Of a high order, and
a selection upon which the legal pro-
fession Of the State, who have long
lamented the delay of the Supreme
Court reports, may be congratulated.
The office was created by the present
general assembly. Mr.. Baxter will
fill it creditably to himself and most
acceptably to the members of the
bench and bar.

are w. S. McTeer, Joseph George, o.
II. Wilson, Henry Porter and D. +.

Charles c. Plummer was yerterday
appointed assistant journal clerk Of
the house.
After a good deal of Glibusterlng
yesterday afternoon, during which mo-
tions were made a dozen times to
adjourn and as often failed, the house
finally adjourned over to this morning
at 8 o'clock. Quite a number fought
hard for a night session, the holding
ofwhieh had been resolved upon, but
the session was prolonged to such a
late hour that it was notthought worth
while to meet by gaslight.
1t is probable that Mr.. Harwelrs
bill, providing that executions shall
take place inside of Jail yards, will be
passed into a law by the time Knox
Martin is swung of into eternity.
The bill has passed one reading in the
house and is recommended by the
judiciary committee for final passage.
