THE CITY R~ECEIvERsHIP.
Hls Appointment Postponed. The Police
and Fire Fund to be R~eIeased---
Points In the Case, etc.

A crowded audience assembled at
the United States Court rooms in the
county courthouse this morning, in
anticipation of hearing Judge Baxter
announce the appointment Of a re-
ceiver for the late city of Memphis.
The public interest in the matter may
be imagined when it is stated that not
only was the courtroom thronged but
the street in front of the court house
was also blocked with people.
Judge L, s. Hammond occupied the
bench with Judge Baxter, but took
no part in the proceedings.
Judge Baxter announced that he
decided to postpone the appointment
ola receiver until the last moment,
that the State of Tennessee might be
heard in the case if she desires to be
a party. 1t had been suggested that
the State is largely interested in the
matter, as the legislature has, in a
measure, taken charge of the assets Of
the late corporation Of Memphis. The
State is to be allowed time for prepar-
alton to participate in the argument by
counsel if she so desires. A number
of attorneys expressed the opinion that
the State would not take any action,
or lay herself liable by making an an
swer.
Judge Baxter declared that the po-
lice and fire fund should be at once
released from attachment, as it cannot
be permitted to come under the re-
ceiver's jurisdiction. He directed the
attorneys interested to ascertain the
amount so that it may be released as
soon as possible.
Judge Baxter also checked one of
the attorneys who began a long argu-
ment concerning the duties and pow
ers of a receiver, and the rights of
m%ultifariOus creditors. The judge
said the question of rights, duties,
ETC., was not under advisement at
and he could not listen to remarks
on these points. The remainder OF
morning was consumed in a varie-
ty of discussions on unimportant
points connected with the question
also as to what portion of the assets
would come under the receivers juris-
LECTION, and whether OF not he would
90 before the Cnancery Court to take
possession of the assets now in charge
If that tribunal. At the hour Of
noon the court took a recess until 4
o'clock this afternoon,

Captain James Lee. sr.

A correspondent writing in refer
ence to our local packet lines, thus
speaks Of one of the Oldest comman-
ders on the river:
Recently VI enjoyed the pleasure Of
a trip on hal bijou of marine archi-
lecture, the steamer Coahoma. com
manded by Captain James Lee, sr..
chief of the Lee Line, whom we first
met quite thirty years ago. Though
the lapse of a century third has
somewhatscarredt the veteran, yetit has
seemingly abated none of the fire,
sleepless vigilance and wondrous en-
ergy of this remarkable man. In 1892.
when the writer's father, then one of
the Oldest captains. retired, Captain
Lee entered upon his river career.
since when he has been without inter
mission identified with the commerce
and navigation of the Southern and
Western waters, the last twenty years
devoted to furthering and building
up fhe local or coast lines, having
for their northern terminal Memphis.
Many of the boats he commanded
were Of his own design and con-
structed under his supervision. To
characterize him as a remark
able man, types a life not un-
eventful, with sharp-cut outline,
marked methods Of thought and truer
instincts of our nature. So watchful
in consulting the comfort and vigilant
in providing for the safety of the pas
sengers land their enumeration now
swells to milliOns) that their number
alone marks the measure of his pop
larity. Boats under his charge rank
high in commercial and insurance cir
cles, and in the Offices of the latter
maintain the highest figures in the
scale of risks. What he has contrib
uted to the building up of your local
or coast lines Che was the protector
and founder of the Friar's Point line)
is known to the merchants of Mem
phis, no little of whose past prosperi-
ty received its first impulse, moving
stimulus, from this source. Captain
Lee then having done so much in pro-
motion of the prosperity of your city,
the writer feels that your readers will
require no apology for the few lines
he has penned in reminder Of one who
has proved himself a public benefac-
tor, and assured that his brief notice
will hardly arouse the envy or chal-
lenge the criticism of antagonizing
rivalries, when it is remembered that
the subject Of his communication hav-
ing almost attained the limit allotted
by the Psalmist, will necessitate
withdrawal from a field where victo-
ries have been won, 'twere by grand
effort, and defeat was ~uustained by the
shame Of dishonor.

MEMPHIS THEATER.-The advent
of MOdjeska and her party at the
Memphis Theater last night during
a pelting rain-stOrm drew a good au-
dience. The actress received a hearty
welcome, establishing herself as a de-
cided fayorite before the close of the
FIRST act. Camille" appears to be one
of the lady's favorite representations.
She at least performs and portrays the
character with an effect that proves
her to be a true artist in the school of
emotional and powerful acting. Ca
mile is full of beautiful expressions
and affords scope for the display of the
warmest passions, the highest tragic
power and the most varied pictures of
life in Its many varied phases. 1t is
not to be commended for It's moral
tone as a whole, but there is not an
immoral thought or sentence in the
entire play. On the contrary it is
clothed in charming language through
out, and Modjeska's conception of the
leading role is a wonderfully pure one.
The ideal picture of the heroine as
she presents it hides the real charac.
ter of Camille and causes the specta-
tor to almost forget that she was ever
other than a refined, beautiful and
spotless woman.
From the opening to the close last
night Modjeska carried the hearts Of
the audience, winning as she pro-
crossed the heartiest expressions of
admiration. Her support is consid-
cred good-in some respects excellent,
and a fine week of theatrical enter
tainment is promised. Tonight the
Modjeska troupe will present Frou-
Frou.

PITTsBURG, Pa, February 9.-Can.
tain Paul Boyton, who entered the
Allegheny river at Oil City THURSDAY
morning, arrived here at half-nast
three this afternoon, and was enthusi-
astically greeted by nearly fifty thous-
and people, who lined both sides of the
river from the mouth of the Alleebe-
ny river to the eastern city limit. Bow
ton had expected to make the trim of
l32 miles with but one stop, but the
weather was so severe Thursday night
that he had to stop at Emlenton. Fri
day night he stopped at Mahoninp, and
last night at Freeport. He made AZ
miles on Thursday, 35 Friday. q YES
terday and Il to-day, and was in the
water altogether about Al hours. His
face was badly frosted, and when he
arrived here he was greatly exhausted.
He regards this as the most sever ex-
perience he has had yet, but expects
to be all right again in a few DAYS. The
weather was unfavorable, being BIT
terly cold, with occasional snow-storms
and considerable floating ice in the
river.

THE SOUTH PASS JErrrEs.
Al Interview with Captain i, B, Gads.

Captain James B. Eads was inter.
viewed at Cleveland, Ohio, a few days
ago on the Mississippi %jetties subject.
When asked how much money had
been paid thus far on their account he
said about 81, sol 900. He also gave
vent to the following:
| have had this in four payments
one Of $500,000 upon getting twenty
feet of water; one of $780, 900 upon
getting twenty-five feet an advance
ment Of $500, 900 to satisfy some of my
creditors, and a payment to-day Of
about 100000 for work done since
the 10th of December. | have now
done four-ffths of the work on the
%jetties and have only received about
one-quarter of my pay. To-day New
Orleans, the Mississippi river and the
entire country are receiving the bene-
fit of the j%etties. | have spent all the
money | a possibly raise on them
have assumed all risks of failure and
almost made them a perfect success ;
but my means are exhausted, and |
want congress to help me out. 1t is a
general rule that all contractors for
the government receive about ninety
per cent. of the cost of what they are
doing. Why should not / be treated
in the same way? This has turned
out to be a mighty hard bargain fnan-
cially, although practically | am fully
satisfied with its success. So are the
engineers of the government; so are
the sailors, who have abandoned the
old pass and adopted theroute through
the %jetties
When asked if a new bar was form

some predicted, he said
Not at all, as they predicted but

and a west current spreads it over a
large area to the west. AT present
the water directly in the mouth of
the jetties is deepening, and ! calcu-
late that when completed they will
not require to be extended for 400
years.
Do you intend closing up the 9TH
err passes through which the rest of
the river finds its way to the sea ?"
No, sir; we do not. That would
us too much water, undermine
the present jetty banks and swamp us.
We at present use but ten per cent. of
the river. When we get thirty feet

the reply.
How long will it take to complete
the j%etties, captain?"
About four months"
When will there be thirty feet of

to answer; but | am confident
that we shall have it in fifteen months
