could be discovered. A good, healthy
9 charge of buck-shot is the greeting such
night prowlers deserve-no odds whose
donicile they invade, if it is not their own.
Mr. H. C. Depue, railroad man of
much experience, will fill the position in
this city, formerly filed by Capt. james
johnson. Mr.. Johnson will continue to
act in the very responsible position of
Southern agent. 1t is the purpose of Mr..
Lufkin, we hear, to resign the position he
has filled so long and satisfactory We ex.
tend welcome to Mr.. Depue. He sue
ceeds gentlemen who managed to win the
friendship of our entire community; and
we are pleased to hear that he is equally
deserving, as well socially as in bust
ness.
During the month Of June the small
force at the Car hoist changed the gauge of
1864 freight cars and ia passenger coaches
nearly fifty cars every tweny-four hours.
| During the month of July business was
considerably checked by the prevalence OF
the yellow fever in Memphis, and the record
shows the hosting Of only 1,144 freight
cars and ca passenger coaches. Revisions
to the summer Of 1878 the average was
only 6S5 cars month. An increase of
over one hundred per cent in so short a
time certainly indicates very successful
management.
The family OF Charley AFTER desire us
to extend an expression of their thanks
for the evidences OF sympathy and good
will shown on the occasion of the funeral
and burial services, yesterday afternoon.
That so large a number should take such
long walk or drive in oppressive heat of a
MONDAY sun, and a scarcely less fatiguing
railroad ride of thirty miles to the cemetery
and return, is certainly indicative of kind
ly sympathy and friendship that can be but
lily repaid by tender of thanks. 1t was
especially gratifying to the bereayed family,
and will be held by them In grateful re-
membrance.
II is not often that ones mirthiul feelings
become so intense. and continue so long
that the expression of them in laughter
command the presence Of the police, and
call out an admonition that, unless the up.
roar is stopped, arrest and imprisonment
will be the consequence. But a night or
two ago the ubiquitous and irrepressible
Miss BLACK Hat" INDUCED in precisely
that kind of an outburst. She kept up her
guffaw until it became as exasperating to
her neighbors as the incoming whistllng of
the Fisk and Champion is to the Cairo
community at large. 1t was a paroxysm
that the woman actually seemed unable to
control; but was finally checked up In
''snubs," and quiet again reigned in that
end OF our Warsaw.
The motion for new trial in the Glass
murder case was argued before Judge Har
ker yesterday. The motion was grounded
on the affidavit of Glass that he had never
been arraigned, and the absence of any re-
cord of the arraigment gave the affidavit
the air of plausibility, at least. But, on the
other hand, Judge Dougherty, Prosecutor
Mulkey, Bailiffs Olmsted, Redden and
others, swore unequivocally that Glass WAS
arraigned. With such testimony beforeit
the court could do nothing less than decide
that the arraignment had been made.
The over.ruling Of the mo-
ton for new trial followed,
and Glass was called to the bar to receive
his sentence Of death. The Judge decanted
upon the enormity of the crime Of which
accused stood convicted, spoke OF the abil
ity and diligence Of the attorney who de-
Tended him, and then proceeded to the SEN
tence, substantially as follows: at is
therefore the sentence of this court, Charles
Glass, that you be removed from hence to
the Jail of the county, where you shall be re.
tanned until the 2lst day of August next,
and then be removed from thence to an en-
closure on the court house premises, to be
prepared for the purpose, and therein, be-
tween the hours Of and o'clock p. H.,
Of said day, be hanged by the
neck until you are dead! dead
dead; and may God Almighty have mercy
on your soul" The Judge and many Of
the audience were deeply affected but
Glass was as stolid and Indifferent as he
could have been, had he been in no manner
concerned in the ceremony. We do not
exaggerate when we say that, to all appear
ances, he was the least affected man in the
court room.
