a FEW ARRESTS NERDED.-There Is
standing complaint from people living
along the line Of the P. W. 4 B. Hemp
field Railroad, between this city and Elm
Grove, concerning the disorderly conduct
OF rowdies and blackguards who loaf along
the railroad,and anney everybody in their
vicinity by reckless use Of firearms and
bad language. These offenders seem to
think that as soon as they are out Of the
city limits they are free from all restraint.
It Is a frequent practice on their part to
begin shooting as soon as they have passed
the first tunnel, and not long since, a little
child, living Just opposite the railroad, at
Mt. De Chantal, was struck and hurt by
one OF those stray shots. In addition TO
this danger Of injury, respectable persons
who live along this part OF the road, and
have occasion TO walk over it, are insulted
daily by hearing the vilest language from
shameless scoundrels, who vie with one
another in uttering indecent and profane
epithets.
1t Is no credit to the county authorities
that they have not taken hold OF this nui.
sance and abatedi It before this. The por.
ton OF the road referred to has become a
common thoropghiare for large numbers
OF pedestrians from this city and vicinity.
The offenders above mentioned who infest
it, are punishable under the State law as
readily as though they were within the
reach Of the city ordinances and the pun.
ishment is a good deal heavier under the
former than the latter. II the county
constables will put in some Of their leisure
time in that neighborhood their assistance
will be appreciated by the public, and
meantime those who have suffered most
heretofore from the outrages described,
propose TO make an example otthe next
offender against whom they can secure
testimony sufficiently to convict.

THE GAME OF CRAPS.
An Amusement OF Doubtful
Character which has Cap-
sured the Memphis
Darby.

During the last few years a game
has been introduced among the me-
groes here which seems to possess an
irresistible attraction for young and
old. 1t is known as craps" and
many a quart Of gore has been spilled
on Its account The levee rousta.
bout plays craps as regularly as the
day goes by and even the little boot
blacks may be seen squatted about the
pavements in groups of half a dozen.
deeply engaged in a courtship with
the Goddess of Fortune as her smile
is reflected from the polished side of
the upturned cube. Rarely day
passes that some fight, which origin
ated over the classic game, is not in
yesiigated before the police court. 1t
IS not rare thing that when asked by
the court where the fuss be.
gan or what were the parties
doing, the answer is playing craps +"
Not many months ago, on a beautiful
Sunday evening, in the suburbs, a
murder was committed during the
progress Of a game. 1t is said that at
least ten per cent of the negroes
arrested and searched at the station.
house are found to have crap" dice
in their possession. The "greaser"
whose fondness for gambling is 50 well
known, could not be more deep
ly fascinated in his faverite
game of monte than the
Memphis chrome is in craps"
There is too, one very peculiar
feature about it. Though the darky,
however ignorant, seems to master ali
its intricacies with perfect ease, the
average white gambler cant fathom il
at all.
1t is played with handful Of dice
and though a smooth inclined surface
is preferable, it can be adapted to any
kind of a table, or even played
on the ground as it is usually
done. The stake is usually small
but yet large enough to
bankrupt many "crap-struck" boot
black. There are several low negro
dens in the city, where the gime is
carried on upon a larger scale and
loaded dies used. Toward these the
efforts Of the police are now being di-
rected, and a concerted effort to break
up the game being organized, under
the well founded belief that it will di
minish the daily number of negro
rows.

BE not deceived, The Wright or
qans have taken new tack altogether.
They have quit scolding, dropped the
denunciatory style, and started out at
the tap Of the drum on square race
OF brag. Dispatches are manufac-
tured in all Parts Of the state and sent
to headquarters A wonderful boom
is going on; Wilson men have sudden
ly come to their senses and are joining
the noble high credit band. A state
c,odit, high tax revival is going on from
tho \ irginia line to the Mississippi,
and tbe ,rourners bench is so crowd
ed with re,, udiation mourners, that
the truly right. Gus have to spend
most of their time IN bringing more
straw. And there is more fuss over
one one imaginary bounty jumper than
ninety and nine old stagers wh} never
went astray. THERE'S great boom So
ingon in the papers butnot among the
people. Nothing has occurred to
make any change. Wilson has not
only held his own but has made steady
gains wherever he has spoken. Wright
virtually abandoned the race and got
off the track when he threw up his ap-
Dointments. Wilson used him up. 1t
was ap uneven contest and the state
credit men felt that it was ruinous to
have Wright daily slaughtered in
the presence of great crowds

p.ople will not be misled or imposed

the reckless assertions Of the
high tax advocates. The spontaneous
outpourings Of the people to hear
Wilson have been represented as mis-
erable failures. This policy might
win if the people were the dupes and

There is a movement on foot in

two executive committees join in an
appeal to the democrats Of the state

a Negro Killed at Germantown.

Esquire James Brett yesterday held
an inquest near Germantown upon
the body Of William Mccoy, colored.
returning verdict to the effect that
he was shot by w. T. Kimbrough
The circumstances are as follows:
William Mccoy bas been
working piece of land on the place
OF Mr.. KimbrOugh, a mile and a hall
from Germantown, and certain cir.
cumstances led Mr.. Kimbroueh 10 be-
lieye that Mccoy had been selling the
cotton, which was grown on shares.
Returning from town yesterday to his
place, he summoned Mccoy and ac-
cused him ofselling the cotton without
his knowledge or consent. Mccoy re :
torted by calling him damned liar.
and Kimbrough then struck him.
The negro returned the blow, upon
which hlmbrough drew his pistol and
fired, the ball striking Mccoy just
under the ear, and penetrating the
brain An inquest was held as abovs
stated, but Mr.. Kimbrough has not
been seen since the killing. The au-
thorities will use every endeaver to
find him. Sheriff Athy has the affair
