The Memphis game markets do not
flourish at present. The Tennessee game
law, now in force, preveD4H the shooting or
capture of game. The states of Mississippi
and Arkansas furnish nav all the game for
1 this market, bat the warm weather has
| stopped, to a great extent, shipments from
| those points. The quotations yesterday were
! cock, % cents each; quail, Is cents each;
game fsh-shad, Is cents each; white fish,
| salmon and redsnapper, 1913 cents per
| pound; perch, 50 cents per pound; dressed
| turkeys, Is cents per pound; celery, IS cents
! per dozen.
The case OF the State us. +. Solomon
has been occupying the attention of the Grim
NAL court for several days. Mr.. Solomon
! was arrested at Humboldt. Tennessee, on the
charge OF defrauding Clarke, johnson & Co.,
merchants of this city, out of several hundred
dollars. Inc jury that heard the case was
composed of good citizens, and the Jurors
acquitted Mr.. Solomon, they believing from
the testimony that there had been no inten-
| ton to defraud on his part. A number of
leading citizens of Humboldt testified as to
Mr.. Solomon's good character and honesty,
as did also many citizens Of Memphis. Mr..
Solomon was defended by General Horrigan,
OF this city, and Mr.. Spiral Hill, of Gibson
county. The latter gentleman made the
closing argument for the defense in the case,
! and it was pronounced by lawyers to have
been able, learned and brilliant. Mr.. Solo
mon was released from custody, and was
warmly congratulated by his friends on the
result.
Smoking 10 street cars is a common prac-
tice Memphis. 1t is wrong, however, and
many Of the men who do so admit that it is
wrong. Barney Hughes, III his March num-
Der OF the RailIOay Record, seizes the cigar
question by both ends when he says: 1--WE
hereby petition the abolition of smoking IN
in the street-cars. The summer time draws
near, and let the Car horse do all smoking;
but stop, by legislation, the sinner who puffs
the vlllainous perfume of a villainous cigar
through the entire car and its occupants. He
may think he looks well behind it, and per-
haps suffering from the delusion that it is
finely favored; he will pardon US for conced-
ing the former vanity, but as to the latter, we
prefer the steady aroma from goat. If he
could only realize the sensations of his fellow
smellers, he would conclude that his car com.
panlors would, II on Jury, hang him for the
slightest indiscretion."
Colonel Barney Hughes is out in his
monthly, the Railroad Record. On the Sun
day law he IS clear and sound. Hear him
preach: "We despise man who cannot
drink enough whisky or beer il six DAYS to
allow his tortured stomach one days quiet
recreation. Yet how few they are. To en-
force this, as a contract, we suggest that
closing sap-mills (saloons) tloes rot meet the
end desired, and that as a cooperative CO.
lahorer, the authorities should cause to be
placed over the mouth of the sewers drink
ers) a pink strip of Alcock plaster every
Saturday night, and if it showed any evil
dence Of being tempered with before Mon
day moruing, the offending mouth should be
locked up. Both saloon and schooner being
closed, the trouble is over; but if either is to
be opened we pronounce in favor of the
saloon, but keep the mouth closely clinched.
Now let's recruit this reformation.
The following is the mortuary report for
the week ending six o'clock Saturday even
