Comforting with parties who we're at
the stockholders meeting of the Mem
phis and Charleston Railroad at Hunts
Vile yesterday, we find them averse to
any extended statement in reference
TO the questions discussed in the de-
tense made for the lease in what pur.
ports to be kilograms and newspaper
articles this morning.
These gentlemen say that a quarrel
is not what they are after. They sim
ply want to get possession of their
property. They represent, and voted
in the election for Directors yesterday
about 100000 shares, nearly 800, 900,
of the stock. The road is operated
under q lease made. as they say, with
out authority. And while the stock
has advanced it is because of the in
herent value of the property; for the
result Of the last years operations is a
deficit of $500, 000, while the gross earn
ings we're largely increased. These
gentlemen utterly refused to enter any
detailed statement of the facts above,
further than to say hal a bill, soon to
be6led, will show the most unremark-
able piece of fnancering that has ever
been done in this country. Here one
Of the gentlemen told US an anecdote
as illustrative Of a certain officials
connection with the lease who was
President Of both the lessor and the
lesses at the time the lease was made.

The local scandal involving the moral
reputation of Prof. Burnett, Superin-
tendent of Public Schools of Hous:
ton under the Peabody funds scheme,
and his assistant, Miss Mollie Cox,
formerly a leading young lady Of Shell
byville, Tenn, is still the local sensa-
ton. The investigation made by the
Board of Education terminated in
their accepting the resignation tender
ed by Prof. Burnett,who acknowledges
indisoretions. The Board passed a
resolution that his term of usefulness
in the schools was at an end; that as
far as their personal knowledge goes
they can indOrse him as a gentleman,
etc. Nothing is said in the report
concerning Miss Cox. Public senti-
ment is divided as to the guilt of the
parties.

A few weeks before the election a
we'll known Readjuster of Manchester
and a well known Funder of Chester
field made a rather curious wager on
the election. In the event that
Daniels was elected the Rsadiuster
was to receive ten stripes on the back,
aud if Cameron was elected the
Funder was to receive the same. The
time for the whipping to take place
will be sometime next week.

The Ma atoms Birthday.

According to arrangements the
Fourth of July was observed in Min
eral Point, yet not so extensively as
on some previous occasions. The
weather was all that could be desir-
ed. Ae every village and hamlet in
this section celebrated, the crowd
here was not equal to a multitude,
but was up to expectations. The
oration by Rev. Jenkins was master
ly ard highly enjoyed by all within
the compass of his voice. The city
band furnished delightful music,
filling the air with sweet strains con-
stantly the entire day. In the after.
noon the Buns amused the crowd
for an hour or two, representing
some exquisitely cute characters,
and the "take-o offs" on some OF our
citizens was greatly enjoyed by all
who saw the point. The fire works
in the evening were undoubtedly the
best collection ever witnessed in Iowa
county. Mirth and peace were the
rulers of the day. No brawls. no

an Estey Chapel organ. A short
time ago the same firm sold the
Odd Fellows Of Dodgeville an Estey
Organ. In both cases several or
gans were placed in competition
with the Estey, among which we're
the Western Cottage and Smith

much lower figures. Considering
the fact that the committee of these
lodges were composed of men who
were purchasing the most desirable
instrument regardless of parties
selling, and considering further that
the other organs were offered at
much lower figures, it is plain to be
seen where the lGstey organ stands
when placed in fair competition
with other instruments.
