Saturdays Storm In the West
Suicide of an Ex-Priest
In Jail.

CHICAGO, March 29.-Saturday's
storm appears, from reports coming
in, to have been most severe in central
and southern Illinois, Missouri and
eastern Indiana. In some places con-
siderable damage has been done, but
mostly in the way of broken fences,
glass and roofs.
Champaign suffered loss aggregating
$4,000. Farmers report fences lcveled
and land under water. The wires
have been down in Iowa, but reports
from that state don't speak of any
great damage inflicted.
W. MeManus, formerly a Catholic
priest in Canada, who was confined in
the Madison street police station last
night, while under the influence of
liquor, was found dead in his cell this
morning.

MASONIC MISSION.
An Envoy from the King of Swe-
den TO Settle - Disputed Point
in Masonry.
Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.


New YORK, March 26.-The Swe-
dish corvette in this harbor had on
board an envoy of King Oscar II. of
Sweden, assigned to visit England and
the United States for a special pur-
pose. The corve te is under the
charge ofCommander A. Schonmeyer,
and the envoy is named Chevalier
Ernest Frolict, a knight of the Ma
sonic order. During the recent visit
of Mr.. Albert G. Goodall, president
OF the American bank note company,
to Europe-where he was empowered
to act as representative Of several of
the higher Masonic orders in the
United States-he visited Sweden.
where he found a difference existed
IN that country relative to what is
here known as the Masonic Order of
Knights Templar King Oscar II. is
grand master of that order in Norway
and Sweden, where it is known as the
Poor and Holy Order of Jesus Christ
For five hundred and sixty years this
order has kept itself aloof from the
religious and military order of
Knights Templar, of which the
Prince Of Wales is grand master in
England, and Vincent Hurlbut, of
Chicago, grand master in the United
States.
1t is claimed in Sweden that the
seven Knights templar who escaped
the general massacre ordered by Philip
H., over five hundred and sixty years
ago, took to Sweden the ritual of the
order, written on palm leaves, and that
the same is now among the archives
of Sweden. 1t is, however, known to
the king of Sweden that the order of
Knights Templar has extended largely
over the civilized world, and the OBJ
ject OF the masonic envoy is TO ascer-
tain and report to the king the result
Of whatever investigations he may
have the opportunity to make. AS
such masonic envoy, Chevalier Ernst
Froliot visited the masonic temple in
this city at the last oonelave Of Nor
ton Commandery, No. 4, of which Mr..
Goodall is the eminent commonder,
and there had an opportunity of wit
Messing the comforting of the order Of
the temple. 1t is understood that the
envoy will pursue his investigations
still further through the country, and
will doubtless visit Chicago, where
next August the majority of the
knights, to the number of many thou
sands, will assemble in triennial con.
claYe.

Sholby COnn1Y Politics.

Special to the Nashville American.l
MEMPHIS, March 26.-Politics are
looking up in Shelby county, and are
being discussed in a general manner
by all classes. The first important
event to transpire will be the election
of delegates to attend the democratic
convention, which meets in Nashville.
The name of Col. j. NJ. Heating. of
the Appeal, has been mentioned in
connection with the position of dele
gate to represent this district at Gin
cinnati, His long service in the
party and his known ability eminently
qualify him for the position, and if
his consent to serve can be secured,
he wifi not likely meet with any oppo-
sition.

Blaine and Grant.

Special to Courier-Journal.l
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The
feeling between the third-termers and
Blaine men here is daily growing more
bitter. The former are beginning to
indulge largely in commenton Blaine's
connection with the Mulligan letters,
railroad bonds, Jay Gould and Jobs in
general. The Blaine men are retail.
iating with copious references to the
numerous scandals of Grants admin
istration. They are also full of sneers
at Grants electioneeriOg scheme in
the south 1t is evident the Blaine
ties are getting nervous over the sue
cess Of Grants visit in Texas, ard the
capture ct the Texas delegation to
Chicago, and his prospect of similar
result in Arkansas and Other southern
states. This feature of the s.tua-
COP is causing much comment in po-
liticai CIRCLES.

NAsHvILLEs NUMEROUS GATHER
INGS.

1T has been suggested that the dem
ocratic state executive committee
should change the time Of holding the
convention to appoint delegates to the
Cincinnati convention and to choose
electors, from the Sth of June to an
earlier date, which will be embraced
in the period of the Nashville centen-
NAL and exposition. This, we
an ee, is a good idea. Many of
the ei,qht or nine hundred dele
gates who will probably attend the
democratic state convention would
like also to be al the Nashville CEN
tonnial. yet will not feel able to
make two trips to Nashville. The
centennial will be celebrated on the
2ith of April and the exposition will
be kept open month longer. IT the
9th or the Goth of April is deemed
too early day for the democratic
convention, it could certainly be held
some time before the exposition closes.
Very few men living in West or East
Tennessee, care to, or can afford to
make three trips to Nashville this
lsummer. Yet the executive commit
tee, utterly unmindful of the centen-
nial, in which every citizen should
feel pride, has called two state con-
yontions, one on the Sth Of june and
the other on the 10th of August. This
may suit Nashville hotels and board
ing house keepers, aud a few people
in the vicinity who can come and 60
at small cost, but it will certainly
keep q good many citizens from at
tending the Nashville centennial. The
9t.h of June was selected apparently
more out of desire to know first
what che Chicago republican conven-
ton would do than to suit the con-
venionces on a majority who would
be likely to attend. We have no OBJ
5eetion on general principles to Middle
Tennessee running the democratic ex-
ecutiye committee. for a good demo-
cnt can be trusted wherever fsupd
without regard TO locality; but we
would like for it TO be understood
that it costs something to be on a
constant trOt to Nashville, sad that
some who propose to attend the demo,
cratic convention will, under present
arrangements, have to foregO the pa
triotic pleasure Of attending the CEN
tennial Of the state capital.

THEs SHELBY COUNTY RAILROAD
STOCK.

In reply to our Fisherville CORES
pondent, whose communication ap-
peared Saturday, we state that Shelby
county owns about $75, 900 in the stock
of the Louisville and Nashville rail
road company. This was given some
years ago in exchange for 100000 Of
the county's stock in the Memphis
branch of the road, which had been
as low as 10 cents on the dollar. The
county court atits late quarterly term,
ordered an election to be held on
Tuesday the 18th of April, to test the
sense of the people as to whether
this stock of $4,000 shall be sold or
not. Owing to the late combinations
end aggressive movements Of the
louisville and Nashville railroad,
khereby it has gained the control of
YER $500 miles of railroad, its
stock has gone up to fancy
figure, which, in the course
of time will be likely to settle down.
1t is now quoted at 162. Hence the
Shelby county stock would bring, if
sold now, the handsome sum of $l21,-
500. The stock which we exchanged
would at that time have brought $780,
600. 1t is thought that now is our
best time to sell, though it is barely
possible that the stock will decline a
little before the election and the sale
can take place. We are not aware of
any negro in the wood-pile, and have
no reason to suspect that there is any
thing wrong in the proposition. The
amount we hold is comparatively
only a drop in the bucket and gives
Shelby county no voice whatever in
the management Of the road. AS
common sense proposition we regard
it as safe and advisable to sell while
the stock is up and in demand, even
if it should drop a little before we can
get it off our hands. We can never get
the original cost paid by the people
many years ago, but we stand a chance
to get something back, which is rare
thing for Memphis and Shelby county,
1t happens, unfortunately that Shelby
county does not own any Of the bonds
Of the railroads, but owes them, as
our correspondent will understand
if he will look at his last tax receipt
This statement, we hope, is clear
and explicit, and it indicates the
MLEDGER's position on the question.
5herjf McGowan will hold the cleo
ton on Tuesday, the 18th of April,
and the proposition to sell seems likely
to prevail. In fact, no opposition has
yet developed.

be too strongly rebuked. 1t is impos-
sible to find name in our language
for such heather. Appeals to their
sense of decency would be worse than
casting pearls before swine. Nothing
but the strong arm of the law can de-
ter them. The officers of the Elm
wood cemetery company are deter
mined to make an example of the first
offender that is caught in the act, and
will prosecute without fear or favor.
A few private detectives in the guise
of visitors would perhaps put stop
to this shameless and nameless crime.

UprOar at Central Point.

A crowded house, with standing
room at a premium, was the state of
Esquire Quigley's courtroom this
morning, and the attendance was
made up of colored folks from Cen
tral Point, all because on Saturday
last Kate Farris and Camille Polk
were sadly trounced by Alfred Ben
son and Viney his wife. At least so it
was said in the affidavit. A witness
said one of the women bantsred an.
other to come outside of the gate and
she would tear her to pieces. Finally
the women got themselves on the same
side of the fence and locked horns
not in loving embrace. Then the
witness pulled them apart only to have
the same difficult job to do over again.
The result Of the row is unknown, ex-
cept that it is generally conceded Cen
tral Point was in a state of general
insurrection on Saturday last.

German Gazette, discussing the
church question, states that to enable
the government to practice concilia-
tion, modification of the May laws is

caution is advisable. The Gazette,

ask the diet to accord them certain
discretionary power in carrying out
the May laws.
LONDON, March GA dispatch
from Cabul says Hurried and in
complete settlement is above all to be
deprecated before the country had
a ruler strong in our support Our
retrenchment would be attributed to
weakness, and would occasion the ris-

awur, notwithstanding the execution
of Chief Rupa. The rebels are still
under arms, under the command Of
his lieutenant. The villages appear
to afford shelter and supplies to the
rebels.
ENNIsoARTHY, March %. = The
cause of the riot yesterday was as fol-
lows; Chavalier O'Clery, member for
county Wexford in the late plrlia-
ment, seeks re election as home-ruler,
while Parnell has nominated two
other candidates as "obstructionists,
one OF whom is very unpopular. Chav-
alier O'Clery's party, some ten thou
sand strsng, took possession of the
platform. When Parnell arrived, ac-
companied by members Of the Ennis
earthly club, he attempted to get on
the platform and was received with
shouts Of" No dictation." Hisfriends
were attacked, beaten and thrown
down, several having bleeding heads.
A body Of armed police was drawn up
near the platform. Had Parnells
party been numerous, the list of
casualties would have been very large.

Cartridges ior the Chinose.

New York Herald.l
1t seems the contemplated war be-
tween Russia and China will have its
effect in the United States. An order
has been received by the Winchester
Arms company to make from 15,000,-
600 to 2O,OO0,OO0 cartridges for the
Chinese government. This is the first
order, we believe, ever given by the
Chinese government to foreigners for
the manufacture Of cartridges. All
the nations of Europe are forced to
buy our cartridges, or, if not, to use
Ameriman machines and American
copper and zinc in their manufacture
