A Stampede from Memphis
MEMPHIS, July 21st.-Another
genuine stampede of citizens is in
progress. The rush for railroad
tickets recalls the scenes Of last

the city. The desire of all who can
go is to go at once, and there will
be jam on all the trains leaving
Memphis. The officers of the He

furnished 100 Je wish families with
the necessary funds to obtain means
of transportation to distant cities.

ing all widows and children out of
the city. Three new cases were re-

ing at No. 62 Clay street, and his
two children. These make seven
new cases reported for to-day.

the neighborhood of Clay street

The crime was COumitted August

negroes. The condemned man adj
dressed the assemblage from the
scafiold, warning his hearers
against evil temper. He said that
he was the happiest man in Sardis
He had violated one of the Ten
Commandments. 1t was right that
he should be punished. After the
black cap had been put on, he
asked that a handkerchief might
be placed in his hand, and he would
give the signal, when the trap
should be sprung. This was done,
and when Sheriff Martin had ad-
justed the rope, the condemned
man gave the signal for his own
death by dropping the handker-
chief. His neck was broken by the
fall.
