Special to the Appeal
NASHVILLE, March 17.-Much uneasiness
is felt tonight over the disappearance of Mr..
Sparks, assistant sergeant-at-arms of the
house. On leaving the hall at noon he COM
planned of an acute pain in the head, and
told Speaker Fowlkes that he must go home.
On reaching his hotel physician was sent
for, who announced that he had sudden
rush of blood to the head. During the after
noon he became delirious, seized a revolver
and rushed out of the hotel. The proprietor
of the hotel attempted to follow him, when
Sparks drew his revol yer and told him not to
follow him, that he was going home and
would not be stopped, The police were mott
fed, and they and the members of
the house were out searching for him to-
night, but up to midnight no news had been
received regarding him. The worst fears are
entertained as to his safety.

CHATTANOOGA, March 13.-This place is
recovering rapidly from the effects OF the yell
low fever last year. They do not apprehend
a return of it this summer, or at any future
time. They, | understand, intend, however,
to prepare a yellow fever hospital near the
city, 80 that if any cases should accidentally
come here they may be provided for with
safety to the city. If all cities would take
this precaution it would prevent the spread
of the disease. This saved Nashville last
fall. Chattanooga being a manufacturing
city cannot afford to permit this disease to
spread here if it can possibly be prevented.
The board OF public works bill, which has
Just passed the Legislature, will help them
very much. They are now making at this
place sixty tons of steel rails per day. The
Duck River Valley railroad marrow gauge)
is buying it's rails at this place. and the peo-
pie about Columbia say they vii! have a di-
rect railroad connection with Chattanooga
this year. l regret that l did not see Hon.
E. A. James. He is at Nashville
working for the interest of Chattanooga.
He is one Of the most useful,
intelligent and photographed men in
Tennessee. The people here appear to be
''star-chamber committee. They tell me it
is condemned by all the people from Chatta-
nooga to the Virginia line. The question
here is, does Governor Marks indorse it? Did
he see 1t before 1t was publ1shedT Some say
it expresses his views; some deny this. No
man can sustain that report and live politi-
cally in Tennessee. The people are thor
oughly aroused, and will demand settle
ment of this debt question. There are men
here from all the States in the Union, FEEDER
ais and Confederates, northern and southern,
down casters and western men, all moving
on in perfect harmony: The connection be-
tween Memphis and Chattanooga Is very in
innate, as they are on the same great line of
railway, and so Memphis must be the best
market for Chattanooga manufactures. Mis-
sionary Ridge and grand old Lookout stand
as they did when Bragg, Sherman and Grant,
with their great armies, were here; but oh,
how changed the scene. Some of the noblest
and best of Memphians fell near here. l
could but think of Preston Smith and Bed
ford Forrest and their NOBLE compatriots,
when gazing upon these romantic scenes.
Soon Chattanooga will be connected by a di
rect railroad route with Cincinnati, and then
she will mount upward as on eagles wings.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Memphis Cheater.

Hsverly's great minstrel troupe gave
their initial performance at the Theater last
night before a crowded house. Forty per-
formers appeared on the stage, presenting
an artistic picture. The opening, or olio
part was excellent, the songs being finely
and artlstically rendered. Many OF the
songs were gems, new and pleasing. Billy
Rice, in his comic songs, and Pete Mack, in
his feline solo, brought down the house. In
deed, each song was well rendered. Harry
Kennedy, in his specialties of ven
triloQuism, was very clever, and
brought forth rounds of applause.
Billy Rice, in his lecture, was absurd and
comlcal to high degree. The twelve clog
dancers was a new feature, and their fine
dancing was received with applause. Their
posturing tableaux were artistic and pictur-
esque. Their temperance as twelve song
ambulance experts, all singing and dancing
at the same time, was another novelty origi-
quartette, Messrs. Gale, Rapier, Roe
and Freeth, sang several songs in excel
lent style, and had to accept several
eHc0reS. The performance included now
elites and specialties, and concluded with
society burlesque entitled InmOlGtiOn, or
Broken Vons Mr.. Haverly may fairly claim
to have originated the largest minstrel
troupe that has ever been brought before the
public, and not only in numbers, but also
In ability they may be said to excel any
troupe that has hitherto appeared. Having
but recently started out on their tour, it is
safe to predict that an ovation
awaits them wherever they go, and
Mr.. Haverly's enterprise will inset
with the success it Justly deserves. The pro-
cess of this well-known Chicago manager
was to select the best members of three DIFF
ferent minstrel companies and roll them into
one organization. A change of programme
will be given tonight. The troupe will ap-
pear at the matinee tomorrow, and will
close the engagement by performance to-
morrow evening. Complaint was made last
night that scores of boys up in the gallery
were smoking cigarettes and cigars, to the
great annoyance and danger of many people.
These boys continued to throw paper at and
to spit down upon the people in the par
quette. No policeman was in the gallery to
prevent these proceedings, which might
create an alarm of fire and a stampede of a
frightful character. Z szEE

The Greenbackers in the house are the
Iaughing-stock of the country. The New
Orleans Picdyune says: Even Mr.. Lee
Crandall, their national secretary, does not
initiate the party so as to take in more than
twenty-five members. Other calculators do
n Ut give them more than twelve. At the
hie hest computation they do not constitute
one-t Nth of the whole number. At the

s,dering. and yet this absurd squad of per-

render of the two great parties between
which nine-tentIls OF the house are divided.
