Fatal Runaway Accident.


A little before one o'clock to-day a
horse, attached to a heavy furniture
wagon, ran away, and the wheel col.
liding with some large loose stones
on the corner Of Adams and Third
streets, the driver, Charlie Keith, a
twelve. year-Old son of Mr.. Keith, the
upholsterer was thrown out. The
wagon turned over, his body being
caught under the wagon bed, from
which he was extracted with consid-
cradle difficulty.
DR.. Black was summoned, and,
though no regular diagnosis
of his case has been made,
thinks the boys condition very dan
gerous. Owing to the crowd of heart.
less people who crowded around the
unfortunate child, it was impossible
to get any information except by sec
ond hand. tits said his back was
broken, and he has sustained severe
internal injuries.
Since writing the above, the boy
has died Of his injuries. His heart
never beat after being taken from
under the wagon. Before dying, he
said Tell mamma goodby." the only
words he uttered.

The Great Display.

Thirteen well-grown young ladies
are needed to make up the tableau Of
states for the anticipated procession on
Wednesday next. The meeting at the
Peabody parlors this forenoon was a
satifactory beginning, thirty ladies
and children putting down their
names and enrolling themselves as
representatives for the beautiful spec
tacle. Another meeting is called for
tomorrow at 10 O'Clock, at the same
place, and it is to be hoped the neces-
sary number will volunteer for the in.
teresting occasion. lnasmuch as the
male portion Of our people are labor
ing with vigor, energy and money to
make our great celebration worthy of
the,occasion, it is as little as the fairer
members can do to render such aid as
may be necessary, in volunteering for
a brilliant spectacle so attractive as
that Of representing the states and
territories Of our common country.
Step forward, young ladies', and make
yourselves one of the original thirteen
American colonies for this occasion
only. The exhibition is going to be a
splendid success in every respect.

this is absolutely undeuiable and un-

little to say about it, except that he
only represented one client, banker,
who had rendered small amount of

70 THE READERS OF THE LEDGER.

Owing to the press upon our adver-
tiaing columns and general increase of
business, the LEDGER will be en-
larged and otherwise improved in ap-
peegance and general makeup, on and
after Wednesday next, the 22d inst.
Thanks to the patronage Of a generous
public, this paper was never in its
history in a more prosperous condi-
ton than at present. 1t not only has
local circulation equal to or above
that Of any other paper, but reaches
out into and beyond the field Of Mem
'phis trade. We have subscribers in
every county in Middle and West
Tennessee, as we'll as a good circula-
ton in Mississippi, Arkansas and
other states. Our facilities are unsur-
passed for the publication of live,
cheap paper, adapted to the tastes
and requirements Of the people,
With an increased staff, and additions
of new printing material from the best
foundries, we expect to present a
better newspaper than ever before.
Every department will be worked up
to the best possible standard of jour-
nalistic excellence. 1t is needless to
iterate that the LEDGER will continue
to be a fearless, independent demo-
cratic paper, ever striving to do TIE
greatest good for the greatest number
of the people. Identified with the
fortunes, misfortunes and triumphs of
Memphis for many years, it is a cher.
ished object to assist in making this
great commercial center, whose trade,
and population and wealth may be
more than doubled in a few years by
proper enterprise and effort.

The streetS are enliVened by the
presence of many strangers tO-day,and
the city has already assumeda holiday
appearance, in anticipation Of the
great influx of visitors expected with
in the next three or four days. We
hope that all will find comfortable
quarters, and that no cause will be
given for complaints about eK-
toytion, such as came back
from, Chicago. No more than
usual rates should be charged by ho-
tells, boarding houses or families, who
consent to take boarders temporarily
for accommodation. Those who take
such advantages do the commerce and
the good name of the city an injury
and themselves but very iittlS benefit.
However, it is due our people 10 ssy
that no such complaints have ever
gone out from Mamphis, even upon
Mardi Gras occasions when the city
was Overcrowded. Let US give our
visitors at the opening of the business
season, such hearty and generous
welcomS, that they will come back
very soon and very often 10 the future.

JOHN G. Carter, Of Bradley county,
said to be an excellent man, was
nominated at democratic convention
at Athens, on the llth instant, to
represent the Sixth senatorial district
in the upper house of tie next general
assembly. The convention adopted
the following resolutions, indicating
that the democrats of that district in
East Tennessee are all right on the

com promise, adjust and settle the bonded
indebtedness of the state debt proper on
the best terms possible.
ID. The railroad bonds now in litigation
between the bondholders and the rail-
roads shalt not be settled by the incoming
legislature, and any legislation on these
or any other bonds not constituting the
state debt proper shall be submitted to
the people for ratification oE rejection at a
special election to be held for that pur-
Sd. We declare that the coupons Of sny
bonds com pr0mised and settled shall not
be made receivable for taxes.
