Judge Lacy, Of New Kent, made a
powerful speech Of az hours last

ler's amendment to submit the debt
bill to a vote Of the people. Col.

He was making very forcible argu.

evening in favor Of it and made 4
speech Of very decided ability. Mr. {.

A wife AbScOnds with all err ElCs-
bands Money

John B. Patton got ont a marriage
license on Tuesday morning, married
Miss Kitty Thompson in the enveing,
and last night was at the station house
seeking his bride. Patton came to
Memphis only a few days ago, and in
making the rounds met Kitty Thompson
alias Matte Williams, who was an in
mate ] of Lizzie Robinson's sporting
house, at 153 Main street He became
desperately in love with the fair damsel
at first sight, and the result Of the
meeting was q marriage. Yesterday
afternoon Patton awolle from a drunken
sleep to find that his dearly beloved
wife had taken all his money and fed.
He at once reported the facts to the
police station, but no trace of the
truant wife has yet been obtained.
Rumor says that she took the Louisville
train and ere this is out of the reach of
the taxing district officers. The young
man from Middle Tennessee viii no
doubt learn a good lesson from this
little romance. He does not deserve
any sympathy in this foolish transaction.

The telegraph last night brings informa-
ton concerning ight in which a manager
of Ward Barrymores company was killed.
The company will appear at the Memphis
Theater next week. The particulars are as
follows: A special from Marshall, Texas,
last night says: After the Ward & Barry
more Combination had finished the play,
the company went to the depot to await the
tain. Maurice Barrymore, b. Porter, and
female attacEe Of the company were IN the
lunch-room, when James Currie, detec-
tive, entered and made sighting remarks
about the lady, to which exceptions were
taken by Barrymore and Porter. After
some words, Currie drew pistol and shot
Porter in the abdomen, killing him almost
instantly. Turning round, he shot Barry
more through the elbow, the ball coming
ont under the left shoulder, making severe
if not dangerous wound. Porter and Bar
rvIuore were unarmed. Currie was arrested
and lodged in jail.
Porter appeared with the Furbuish Com
pany at the Memphis Theater in 1873, as
Capt. Lynde in divorce" In 1876 be was
with the same company when the " Two
Orphans was produced. In Diplomacy
he assumed the part Of Count Orloff.

The Assassin BufOrd Regrets his
Act.

Frankfort special IN Cincinnati En-
quirer; Thomas Buford is an altered
man to-day. After a nights reflection
he regrets the occurrence, and IN an
interview to-day said that he was sorry
it had occurred. He says, also, that he
wishes he had not met Judge Elliott,
or that the Judge had gone up the
stems of the hotel before the fatal meet
inc. His renorse comes too hate. lie
IS of the opinion that if he had had
a little more time to reflect, Judge Ell
lott would have been alive to-day. he
would have the impression 90 out that
the assassination was the suggestion OF
the moment, the offspring OF sudden
passion, and altogether the result OF an
irresistible impulse. For crime com
mittad in sudden heat and passion, the
preparation had been most elaborate.
The facts do not bear Mr.. Buford out
in his presentation of the case. His
dislik OF Judge Elliott and determine
ton to do him some personal injury
dates as far back as 1872, when Judge
Elliott delivered a decision i'll the suit
against the interests of Buford. After
the adjournment of court, Judge Eli
oft, meeting Buford, said, more out OF
kindness than anything else, that he
was sorry he had to decide against him,
but be was bound to rule according to
the law. Afterward Buiord, meeting
Judge VIM. Lindsay, also an Appellate
Judge, said: "Well, Judge, you de-
cided against me, but don't make any
apologies, like Judge Elliott" Lind
say answered.: "You are mistaken IN
the man; am not going to apologize to
YOU" Buford then said: "All right;
come and take drink" But the
Judge declined and went his way. He
was mistaken also in Judge EIliotts
apologizilg to him. Than John Nil
ton Elliott man more personally
brave did not live, but he was a politi-
clan by habit, and to this must be at
tributed his attempt to smooth Bnford's
ruhled feelings.
There is Il rumor on the streets to-
night that n prominent attorney has
been engaged to defend the prisoner,
and that the thread-bare and disgusting,
but popular, plea of insanity will be
entered as the defense. Judge McNa-
mama is expected here tomorrow, and
it is supposed that he will call special
term of the Criminal Court immediate
ly in order to indict Buford and give
him a speedy trial.
