family row Mr.. Brown locked his better half
out of the house, but she sent several playful
bricks through the windows and fred few
shots from pistol into the domici, which
made Brown believe that he was besieged
and cannonaded on all sides. A policeman
approached to raise the siege and relieve the
garrison, and arrested Mrs. Brown, and with
her was captured the artillery in the shape of
a cartridge-pistol of the pattern stamped,
''Smoker No. g." Mrs. Brown was locked

Several Main street stores are being
painted up in front, the bank buildings on
the corner of Main and Madison, and the
building on the southwest corner OF Main
and Monroe streets. There are fine business
blocks on Main, Madison, Front, Shelby and
Union, but yet many of them present woe
tegone, dingy appearance. A coat of paint
of some light color would add one hundred
per cent. to the appearance of all such build
ings. The Germans, the world over, eele-
brated for their industrious habits and thrift,
have maxim that painting is no expense. "
This theory, taken in a comprehensive view,
is undoubtedly correct. An occasional coat
of paint on the outside of buildings prolongs
their durability, and on metallic surfaces pre-
vents cGrrosion.

the mississippi river. We ventured ques-
ton about the probability of rebuilding the
elevator, but Captain Storm assured us that
he knew nothing of Captain Scudder's inten-
tons In that respect; the matter was IN the
hands OF Captain Dodge, who alone could
give any information on the subject. Alter
glancing around the splendid new wharf
boat, recently placed at the wharf by the
Anehor-llne company, we bowed oursef out
and for the present gave up the chase after
street gossip and rumors concerning the
future movements of packets, believing that
as yet the interests of Memphis commerce
are In no very great danger of being swal-
lowed up, as long as Hopefeld can be kept
on the ether side of the river.
MAJOR ADAMs's STATEMENT.

money when they work, and the merchants want

OUR RIVER INTERESTS.
An Interview with the Memphis Su
perIntendent OF the AEchOr-Line
Company, who Sets at Rest All
RumOrs of War against
Memphis Com
meFce.

The recent general swap around IN steam
boat matters has set the world to talking, es-
pecially the commercial people of the Tax
ing-DistrIct, and all sorts of stories have
been in circulation the past several days as
to future movements II was ANNOYING to
the APPEALS professor of marine science,
and he has been hard at work since the
change was made trying to find somebody to
interview who would give up what he knew
about river matters and future movements of
boats. His industry was rewarded, yester-
day, In the finding of Captain AID Storm,
Memphis superlntendent OF the Anchor line,
or st. Louis, Memphis, Nlcksburg and New
Orleans packet company. Captain Storm re-
ceived the APPEAL artist with characteristic
courtesy, and expressed Willingness to tell
all he knew about river matters. The only
thing, and perhaps the one that led to SO
much discussion, was the fact that hereafter
the Anuhor-line will carry one of Major
Adams's Memphis and Vicksburg mails,
the major having withdrawn one of
his semi-weekly packets. Captain Storm
would not speak positively as to
what caused the major to take off that
packet, but supposed it was on account of
the falling off Of business to the extent that
two packets could not live through the sum-
mer. Captain Storm knew nothing of the
transfer of the Illinois to the Anchor-line
beyond the fact that Major Adams, who re-
Gently purchased her in connectian with the
Phil AllIn from the Citizens Memphis and
Vicksturg line, had ordered the Illinois
turned over to him Storm as the agent of
the Anchor line. AS to her future move
ments he is perfectly ignorant. We men
toned the rumor that some Memphis mer-
chants contemplated putting packet in the
lower bend trade in opposition to all existing
lines, to which Captain Storm replied that hes
knew nothing whatever, but expressed
sympathy for the authors of such an enter
prise On the subject of rates Captain
Storm had much to say. We referred to the
charges made so often that the Anchor-line
had always Disseminated against Memphis.
The captain emphatically denied that such
had ever been the case, and such rumors are
without foundation in fact. In substantiation
OF what he said, ne handed US the following
local tariff rates, from which he says there is
never any deviation, except when there is
raise or lowering from these rates, made
necessary by circumstances which transpire
in the regular and legitimate course of busi-
ness events, when the changes are made in
the same proportions:

THE RECEIVERsHR.
The Agreed Case Between state Re-
ceIver MerIwether and MIR. w. r.
Wilson Made Up, and a Bill
of Exceptions Filed
Outsiders Left
Ont.

A spirited and animated discussion took
place In the chaDcery court, yesterday, upon
the announcement of the disposition by the
chancellor of the agreed state of facts and
questions presented in the agreed case be-
tween Major MINOR Merlwether, State re-
ceiver, and w. P. Wilson, of which full men
ton has been made IN the APPEAL. Chan
cellor Mcdowell, in his opinion, announced
that he had had no time to investigate the
constitutional question involved in the cause,
but as the presumption IS In, favor OF the
constitutionaity OF the statutes, decreed for
complainant in order that the cause may go
to the supreme court for its adjudication of
the questions submitted. The decree passed
by the court is in substance as follows:
That the acts and proclamation recIted confer law
full authority to collect back taxes imposed and due
peal of charter and c0nfers such authority through
the officer appointed and qualified In the mode pro-
vided That lawful authority was conferred upon
said officer to demand payment In the mode and
manner set forth II. the act. And decree rendered
pronouncing Judgment accordingly. The defend
ant Wilson, appealed.
Upon the announcement and passage of
the decree by the court, Messrs. Randolph,
Myers & Sneed and Taylor q Carroll APP
peared and presented petition to the court,
claiming to be of counsel for divers creditors
In divers suits pending in the United States
circuit court, In equity, for the purpose OF
having the assets and property of the extinct
municipality of Memphis, including taxes,
subjected to the payment of their debts
against the said city, and asked leave to be
allowed to file their petltIon In the agreed
case, claiming that all the necessary facts es-
sential to the proper adjudication of the
questions to be determined settling the
rights of all parties interested, are not before
the court. The necessary facts being the
action of the Federal court in the appoint
ment of T.. j. Latham receiver, that the very
assets, the taxes sought to be collected IN the
agreed case, are already impounded In the
Federal court; that Receiver Latham has
possession of the tax-books and is now pro-
ceeding to collect the taxes, and that the APP
pointment of the receiver in the Federal
court his qualification, and his possession of
the tax books, were all prior to the passage
of the act creating the officeiof State receiver;
and further claim that the chancery court
has no jurisdiction, the Federal court having
first obtained jurisdiction under proper pro-
ceedings, and various other grounds of
objection to the action of the State court.
The application to intervene by petition
without the parties would come in and have
themselves made parties was opposed by the
parties to the agreed case. The petitioners
declined an invitation to come in, but only
claimed the right to present the facts to the
court.
The chancellor refused to allow the petit
ton 10 be fled in the agreed case. A bill of
exceptions was made.

The captain also assured US that no open
orders were taken by the Anchor-line steam
era. but when an order to any Memphis
house was offered it was taken and faithful-
ly attended to as ordered. No goods were
sold by the packets, either directly or indi-
rectly, nor any business transacted as regards
freights or supplies, except in the most le-
gitmate way. The captain spoke of irregu-
larities in freight rates by other packets.
Shippers came to him, were furnished the
regular rates, and then other packets would
cut under just enough to secure the ship
ment. He had oftentimes been grumbled
at because the regular rates of the Anchor
line were so low as to not admit of a cut He
had often known, however, of barrel freights
being shipped to bend landings on other
packets at forty and fifty cents per barrel,
when the regular Anchor line rates were only
twenty-five cents. While we knew Captain
Storm to be telling what he knew to be the
truth, we could not see the consistency. The
interests OF the Memphis merchants and
those of the Anchor-line were as identical as
those of any city on the river within the ra-
dius of the business of that line,
and as for the Anchor-line pursuing
the suicidal policy of discrimination there 10
nothing upon which to base any such notion
Tne captain then commenced telling us about
that splendid new steamer the CITY of Green
vile, Just built and added to the Anchor-line
fleet, which, he says, is the finest and
best appointed steamer ever built She will
arrive Monday and, Of course, will attract
much attention. Oar interview with Cap
tain Storm resulted in the clear conviction to
our mind that there IS nothing Objectionable
in the management of the Anchor line; on
the contrary, it is Of the greatest benefit to
our commerce since 1t IL, as no one can gain
say, the best managed, most regular and
reliable OF any packet line ever conducted on
