Mr.. EDIroR-Please publish the
following for the benefit Of all persons
passing up Union street after dark.
Last evening on my way home, when
| reached DeSoto street, | found the
earth thrown up on the sidewalk. l
attempted to so up the middle Of the
street, but could not trace my steps
and passed around the pile Of dirt,
with umbrella hoisted las it was rain
ing and very dark. l plunged head
long in the ditch cut across the pave
ment, four feet deep and full of water.
1t was with much difficulty that |
could get out; only by digging my feet
in the sides. After | got out l could
scarcely 6nd a passway, as there we're
no lights.
l am thankful l received no serious
injury, only my clothes being spoiled
and very wet and muddy. The au-
thorities should see that lights are
placed at every dangerous point, or
some very serious accident, with loss
OF life, will soon occur.

Of some forty c%olored travellers who
yesterday came up the Mississippi and
Tennessee railroad, less than twenty
were destined to Kansas. Thirteen
went to Forest City, Arkansas, and
the remainder emigrated to the cotton
lands Of the valley on the river to the
south Of there. There are now some
twenty families of colored people here,
who emigrated from the vicinity Of
Hardy's, ninety miles south of here,
a month or six weeks ago. Several
squads went to Kansas with from $500
to $500 in their possession, and they
have come back here m~oneyless. Ia
deed, several are so destitute Fiat
they cannot pay their passage BAG K to
Hardy's from this place. Others
having emigrated from there DO not
wish to return, and are anxious to
find homes elsewhere. Those who
went to Kansas and arc coming back
here, do not wish any more Kansas in
theirs.

Private dispatches received in this
city announce that a destructive FIRE
occurred at Batesyille, Arkansas, yes
terday forenoon. 1t was attended by
loss of life, but who or how many per-
sons were injured or destroyed is not
stated. The grocery and supply house
of e, W. Clapp & Co. was burned.
Mr.. Clapp is well known in this city,
where no resided for many years, and
from which he went a couple of years
ago toestablish a businessat Batesville.
The firm had built up a
thriving trade, and the disaster at this
particular time strikes heavy against
their interests. 1t is understood that
policies Of insurance in our local COM
panies cover the loss to the amount OF
$4,000. The total loss by FIRE is roughly
estimated at $50, 900, about one-fourth
of which is believed to be covered by
insurance. the following dispatch
has been received in regard to the
FIRE.

A written opinion was delivered
in the Chancery court yesterday, the
decision being in the case of John H.

Others. Mr.. Bartlett was guardian
for the plaintiff, and the controversy
has been going on for twelve years

points are involved.
