TO TILE MEMORY OF LITTLE CHRISTINE
DtI Pre-.

Little one, My little one,
With span of life so brief,
A mother weeps and mourns for thee
In bitterness and grief!
Wecps for tile early lost, the hope
That blossonled at thy birth,
Mourns thy pale and lifeless clay,
Too frail, too fair for earth
Suffering marked thy short career,
But except thy mortal birth,
We laid thee, little one, away, @
With no stain or faint of earth
And pure and undefled thou art,
All perfect with the just,
While nature signs in requiem soft,
Where sleeps thine infant dust!
The great Recorder marked no path
For thee Of human strife,
But over and over in thought, my pet
Will | live thy little life!
And now, the Heaven of Heavens
Is thy spirits eternal rest,
Better there, with the Savi0ur's love,
Than on thy mothers breast!
But, should I reach that land of peace
And the angels know each other,
Of the cherub tlrong, 0, white-winged
babel
Haste Hastel to thy motllert

WITNESS
Against Joseph HansOn.-Letter
From COriuth.

Several days since Chief Davis got
information that an important witness
in the Moore murder case resided at
Corinth, Mississippi, and wrote to
City Marshal Owens, receiving the
following reply:
DEAR SIR;--"Mr. Harry says he
went to Memphis about July, 1875,
and engaged to work with George
Pain, with whom Mrs. Moore had an
interest at that time. Hanson and he
became very intimate and conversed
freely with each other. Hanson
intimated to him that he had already
put one of the Moore family out ofthe
way and if the Moore family did not
treat him right he would add another
to the list. He says Joe Hanson got
some Of Moore's money, also g
heavy silver watch with the initials of
Moore's name engraved upon it. He
says he slept with Hanson frequently
and Hanson always seemed to be rest
less and uneasy at night, sleeping with
a pistol in his hand and bal Hanson
finally acknowledged to him that he
killed Moore, showing him the pistol
he did it with. The pistol was a 80
calibre Smith & Wesson. Hanson
also called his attention to a notch on
one barrel of the cylinder and ex-
planned that it was the barrel that
killed Moore. Hanson also told
Harry that Mrs. Moore sent for him
the second time before he did the
killing. Hanson looked at this time
to be about % or % years old. Han.
son also spoke Of how Mrs. Moore let
him into the room to accomplish the
deed. Harry says he heard of Hanson
in this State last spring, and thinks
he IS in the State yet. Harry is a ma
chinist working at. this place and
came here six or eight months Since
Several lawyers have expressed an
opinion that even a confession would
not now convict Hanson. The case
of Mrs. Smith nee Moore did not take
place yesterday, but will probably be
taken before the grand jury without
further preliminaries Her counsel
are Messrs. Luke 4. Wright and
Eugene Lehman.

city Railway Rumpus.

Several months since, as noticed in
the LEDGER at the time, suit was
brought in Chancery against President
T. S. Davis ct al. of the city railway
by Leonidas Bills, a stakeholder, ask
ing that the court estop the company
from paying any more salaries and
from buying stock or issuing bonds.
Chancellor Mcdowell in his decree
gave the company permission to issue
100000 in bonds, but no stock, and
required a bond Of 5000, which was
given after the death Of Mr.. Bills,
but before the court met. This bond
the court declared void in conse.
quence of that event.
In the meantime the company went
on in the face Of the decree, paid SAL
aries, issued $4,000 stock and also
paid $4,000 of outstanding bonds
which the court decreed should not
be paid until it could be decided
whether they were valid or not. The
defendants were cited before the court
to-day for contempt.
