Return ofnrsiOr Murphy.

Major j. j. Murphy returned to the
city this morning from Colorado,
where he has been sojourning several
weeks. 1t is evident, from
his appearance, that the climate
agrees with him. He is largely
interested in some newly discovered
silver mines, near Silver Cliff, one Of
which is being worked, Major Hosea
Townsend remains to look after the
lnteres'S Of the company, IN
which Major Murphy has taken stock
Some fine specimens Of the ore can be

THERE are only two sanitary inspec-
tors employed by the city at present
and we understand that the hOuse-to-
house inspection has long since been
suspended. Hot weather is coming
on, there are several hundred earth
boxes used, and the people do not IN
every instance remove them properly
or regularly. 1t will be impossible to
connect all houses with the sewers
this spring, and in some quarters it
will not be surprising if there are very
offensive and unwhOlsome odors dis
covered in the next month or two. In
view of these facts, would it not be
well for the city government to en-
ploy a sufficient force of inspectors to
report all nuisances and compelevery-
body to keep their premises in good
order?

ATLANTA, May ia terrible ac-

this afternoon. A number of young
ladies and gentlemen were engaged in
an amateur performance of Moore's
Paradise and Peri" Just before
the curtain rose for the matinee,
while those taking part were in the
dressing rooms getting ready, one of
the young ladies, Mss Ellis, persona
ting an angel, went too near the
gas-light, and the combusti-
bic material of her wings became
ignited, In a second the fabric was
in full blaze. The room was nearly
full of other ladies, all dressed in
light material, suitable to the charac-
ters assumed. The fire almost in
stantly became communicated to the
clothing Of others, and a panic en-.
such. The ladies screamed. The
audience broke up in alarm. Gentle
men rushed from the building to the
street, her clothes in flames. and most
of it had to be torn from her before
it was extinguished. Five or six
were burned, to q greater or less ex-
tent, before the flames were quelled,
Miss Chapman. it is thought, fatally;
Mrs. Hammond severely, Miss Ellis,
Miss Bellamy and one or two others
not so badly.

INSTRUMENTATION.

We clip the following from an o.
hey, Illinois, paper,
Sabines Beaird says that in ride
Of 24l miles, while on trip south,
only l6 papers were sold by the news
boy. This in manner proves the as
sertion that not more than one in ten
southern families ever sees news
paper.
Ordinarily little attention is paid by
the southern press to such items as
the above in northern papers, because
the stock in trade of those papers is to
slander and misrepresent southern
people. In this instance, however
this man SabiGes Beard, who manu-
factures this falsehood, is well-known
20 the plow dealers in Memphis, as he
comes here every winter to sell goods,
and we want his acquaintances here, to
know in future the amount of relia-
bility and trustworthiness that exists
in the heart and brain of one who de-
scends to SO contemplate and despic-
able slander, so as to pander to the
hate and preiudices Of our enemies,
who always delight in hearing evil re-
uorts Of the south, even when they
know such reports are untrue.
He is all smiles when he comes here
drives \ $ sharp trades as possible with
southern merchants, and then goes
back north aud retails little cowardly
lies about our people around to the
radical papers. AS matter of fact
the white people OF the south are, as
rule, newspaper readers, and we ven
ture the assertion that they take al
many papers, in proportion to mum
bers, as the white people of the nortE
and west. There are over one hundred
daily and weekly newspapers pub
lisbed in Arkansas. There is paper
published at nearly every countysea
in Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama
Texas, and other southern states. D
course there are sparsely settled re
gions where papers are seen only oc
easionally, This is SO, probably, il

CHICAGO, May 14.-A Norway,
Michigan, special says that carly
Thursday morning No. 2 shaft of the
Lumberman mining company's Lud-
ingtOn iron mine, located eight miles
from here, caved in, burying alive six
teen miners. The shaft was fifty feet
deep, aud contained five feet of water.
John Fie, an Irishman, l. Flint, and
Oliver Gardner, Englishmen, who
were working at the bottom, were
taken out dead The others, who
were working in the drifts, were res
cued alive. Immediately upon the
caving in of the shaft, the alarm was
given, and miners from other parts
hurried to the scene and set actively
to work to release the imprisoned
miners. Work was necessarily slow
and as it progressed the half suffocated
cries Of the miners could be heard
growing fainter and fainter. AT about
nine o'clock an entrance was made
and thirteen of the miners rescued
from the drifts of the shaft uniujured
The remaining three, being directly
under the fallen rock, were killed OIL
sufFocated or taken out dead. The
shaft was we'll timbered down to thc
walls of rock, which were considered
