Yesterday, when the St. Louis train

phis train. There was a mild express
sion about the man, and his entire
structure denoted refinement.
"Who is that?" asked a Gazette

ADJUSTMENTS.

MEMPHIS THEATER.-The poet of
the Sierras, joaquin Miller, won fame
some years ago by writing rhymes de-
scriptive Of wild mountain scenery and
imaginary events west of the Rockies.
Recently he tried his hand in the con-
structiOn of a drama, depicting life
among the Mormons, the Indians and
the half-breeds in the regions of the
Pacific slope. 1t is called The Dan
ties, after a secret order of MOrmons,
whose leading feature was to prey upon
passing caravans of Gentiles. The
play is chiefly illustrative of a desire
for revenge on the part of the Nor
mons against a whole family, on the
allegation that some of its members
had aided in killing their first prophet
Joseph Smith, near Nauvoo, in
1874. A pair of Danites murder
nine members Of a family
and pursue the last survivor,
in the person Of a young lady, with
pertinacity, and through many imagin-
airy scenes. The villains are eyentu-
ally discounted, and meet the usual
fate of the bad, in a play, and the
young lady triumphs by settling down
into a quiet retreat to pass her days in
happiness. The play abounds with
striking situations, string events and
exciting tableaux. At the same time
it affords a fine opportunity for the
depletion of character peculiar to the
far West. Mckee Rankin per-
formed the leading role in the
first representation here last night,
while Kitty Blanchard enacted the
heroin, with a poetic temperament,
but wearing the very unpoetic patro-
nymic of Nancy Williams" 1t is
perhaps high sounding enough for an
Illinois belle, travelling to the Pacific
slope in search of a home and sweet
heart. Mr.. Charles Parsloe has no
equal as a representative of Chinese
character. He first made a hit in this
when Bret Harte's Two Men Of Sandy
Bar was put on the stage in New York
a few years ago, a drama that fell flat
upon the public, even though such
actors as Stuart Robson and others as
good had leading parts in it. The
Chinaman, as given by Parsloe, was
regarded at the time as the very best
feature of the play. He does it now
even better than then. The entire
performance last night gave satisfac.
ton to the audience present.
The Danites will be repeated to.

ARCHBISHOP PURCELL.
A Letter to the Public from the Arch.
bishop Explaining His Finan.
cial Troubles.

CINCINNATI, March 2O.-A letter to
the public from Archbishop Purcell
is published this morning. After re-
citing the struggles Of his early life.
his removal to this diocese, the neces-
sity of going into debt to provide for
the wants of the diocese, ETC., he
dwells on hispresent financial troubles.
He states it can be safely said that
not more than $500, 900 was money de-
posted. The rest is recompounded
interest. As proof, he cites an in
stance which occurred Yesterday
when a creditor called with a claim of
$llO0. in presenting it he admitted
that $500 dollars of it was interest.
and expressed a willingness to accent
$500, the amount of the original de-
post, and he claims that hundreds
are of the same nature. The indebt-
edness of the diocese in equity does
not amount to more than a million
dollars, to place it at the highest
figure. He says further that for
twenty years no general collection has
been taken up for the support of the
diocesan seminary-the entire bur
den of educating the priests falling on
the archbishop. He paid the salaries
of the professors, fed, clothed and
educated the seminarians. He also
paid the expenses, during the same
period, for the ecclesiastical students
at Mount st. Marys, Emmettsburg in
France and at Rome. In twenty
years these expenses, which in Justice
the whole diocese should have borne,
amounted to a vast sum-. While in
Europe he bought for the library six
teen thousand volumes, with philoso-
phic apparatus, etc, which required
a large expense, which, with the sum
spent on the orphan asylum, cathedral.
and other buildings, finally swamped
him. The archbishop then rehearses
the situation, declaring that but for
the generous sympathy of the Cath
olics and Protestants alike he would
have sunk under the weight of his
troubles. He then appeals to all
Catholics, and others who feel for
others woes, to help him out of his
troubles.

AN ACTOR KILLED.
An Insulting Detective Shoots B. C.
Porter, Of the Diplomacy COmblua-
ton, at Marshall, Texas.-.He
Also Wounds B. C. Bar.
rymore.

Mr.. B. c. Porter, who will be re-
membered as one of the most finished
actors in the Kurdish troupe when
that company visited here a few years
ago, was murdered at Marshall, Texas,
yesterday. Mr.. Porter played the
part of Captain Lynde, a friend to
the family, in the society drama Of
Divorce. He was a fine looking man,
and in his profession he was regarded
as a valuable acquisition to any troupe.
MIR. Barrymore, the manager of the
Diplomacy troupe, was wounded in
the ARRAY, and the company have can
celed their engagement here in con-
sequence, 1t is likely the troupe will
be disbanded on account Of the trouble.
1t is stated that the row occurred in
an eating saloon neal the railroad
depot at Marshall, while the company
were waiting for the train to leave for
Little Rock, where they were to have
appeared this evening. Mr.. Porter and
Mr.. Barrymore, with one of the ladies
of the company, had entered the res-
taurant to get a lunch, when a detec-
tive named Currie made an insulting
remark to the lady. 1t was resisted
by Porter, w~hereupon Currie shot him
in the abdomen with a pistol, Porter
dying on the spot.
After killing Mr.. Porter the enraged
Ourrie turned and shot Mr.. Barry
more, the ball passing through his
elbow and out under the left shoulder.
inficting a severe and perhaps dan
gerous wound. Neither Porter nor
Barrymore had weapons upon them.
The murderer was arrested and is in
Jail to answer for the killing. The
bloody difficulty occurred late night
before last.

Snow, my man, out with your
tongue said DR.. Naylor.
Good" he exclaimed, as he ex-
amined that member. Then he felt
the pedestrian pulse, and said good"
again.
Meanwhile Aspen and an assistant
were rubbing him, washing his face
and taking off his shoes. This latter
they did very tenderly, as though the
feet were very tender. /
You'd better leave the shoes on, y
said Rowell, in a strong voice. But
Aspen thought better, and the shoes
came off.
How do you feel now, old boy?o
asked a friend.
"Oh, | feel first rate" answered
Rowell, but I've a bad cold"
The little man then turned his at
tention to his lunch. He concluded
to have tapioca pudding, beef tea and
ginger ale. Then he was given a salt
bath and a gentle rubbing, had his
lunch, which he relished, aud then he
went to sleep. AS the reporter de-
parted Rowell said I'm all right.
l will be out tomorrow and take a
walk"
He is in excellent condition"
said the doctor. His pulse is good,
his tongue good, and he feels we'll.
There is nothing the matter with his
legs, not a single thing, and his feet
are in excellent condition. He couldn't
have quit the track in better shape.
We will let him sleep three or four
hours, then wake him, and then let
him sleep again. ! dare say he'll take
a walk tomorrow

Ladies' shoes cheap, at Miller's.
the Court.

There was a peck of fun in the Cir
cult Courtroom yesterday over the
amusing details of evidence as given
by that big fat oyster man JOS. Farrell
in his testimony regarding a suit
against Sam Jackson. Farrell is a
loquacious genius, and yesterday after
noon he lifted several glasses of beer
before going on the witness stand.
This shaped him up handsomely for a
fine effort, and he succeeded SO well
that a crowded courtroom, the attor
neys, the jury and even the digni6ed
Judge Pierce were at time convulsed
withlaughter. The s@ceneis described
as rich in the extreme. Even the
solemn p. Tracy, who is the leading
witness, was unable to contain himself.
Farrell agreed to pay ten dollars for
the privilege of keeping a fruit and
ice-cream booth on the bluff last sum-
mer. lie was to put his traps in a
shape so as not to obstruct the view.
This, it is claimed, he failed to do,
and those in charge first gave him s25
and then scared him of, so he says.
AS Jackson was about to leave the
city after his fire display, Farrell sued
him for $500, though, it is claimed, he
had nothing whatever to do with the
affair. There will be a neat bill of
costs to pay by the party who loses in
the contest. The case was resumed
! this forenoon.
