finement, what the effects may be can
not be foretold. It was truly sad and
affecting scene to witness the grief of
the wife aud the little children, of
which there are seven, when they
came to gaze upon the familiar form
and face of their husband and father
now lying apparently Hfeless, from q
suicidal shot. Crowds gathered around
the stable all day, aud had to be kept
out. The body was kept covered up,
his wound dressed and ice kept to it
all the while. Late in the afternoon
Mr.. Andes had it removed TO his
house, near by. There he remained,
attended by physicians and friends,
still breathing and existing, appar-
emily lingering between life and
death. What will be his fate can net
yet be surmised.
A messenger was dispatched on a
swift horse, as soon as the act was dis
covered, to Sewer county, to notify
his relatives, some of whom were
expected to arrive last night. His
father is Col. James Murphy, his
wife's father is near neighbor of the
former, Stewart Dickey, Esq. Both
leading, influential and wealthy fam
lilies of the county. In
fact the unfortunate man has
a brothr Gam" Murphy, who is, by
general repute, the richest man and
largest taxpayer Of Sewer county.
Even he himself, (Arthur) was still in
well-to.do circumstances, even though
he might have had some temporary
financial embarrassment. Thus there
was no excuse for his com milling the
rash and terrible deed.
He has now twenty seven head Of
horses and mules ready for market.
Part of them are in Andes stable, the
rest in a stable owned by himself in
Sevierville.
The many relatives and friends, as
well as the wife and children, have
the sympsthies of all good citizens in
their distress. Mr.. Murphy has al
ways been regarded, by those who
knew him best as 8 stTaigh t.forward,
clever, good, citizen. He was q mem
Der OF the Baptist Church. He was
brave ard gallant Federal soldier in
the la'e war, aud When it ended, be

We are constantly hearing of some
new and wonderful invention or dis
covery, such as the Telephone, Phone
graph, Electric Light, Sc, which
tends to revolutiOnize all the old-fash-
Toned ideas of what is what. The
principal drawback to the use of these
new appliances has been the consider
able outlay necessary for their intro
duction but this difficulty as regards
the Telephone has been satisfactorily
overcome. A Boston firm has sue

that works one mile, which they are
