New street cars, with seats arranged
cross way, and just wide enough for
two persons on each side of the cen
trail aisle, are in course of construc-
ton, for use here. Ere long, from
the way things now look, our Street
Car Company will have everything in
ship-shape order. The cars now move
with more promptness and regularity
than ever before known here. The
bells on the mules announce their ap-
preach, the drivers are required to
keep passengers seats in decent order,
and a general system of renovation and
improvement has marked Mr. Semmes'
management since he took charge of
the lines. A few more systematic
rules and a well repaired track are all
that is now necessary to render the
street car lines all they ought to be.

Death and Funeral Of General
Dixon.


Dixon.
General John Dixon died in this city at
the Park Hotel on the first of September
of debility. He was born in Ireland and
lived to be nearly seventy-four years old.
At an early age he came 10 this country,
and spent the greater part of his life in
Virginia, though he lived for n time in
New York. After the war he came to
Memphis, and lived here the rest Of his
life. For a number Of years he was con-
nected with the clothing house Of Grubbs
& Austin. During the war he was in
tonsely Southern, and afterwards came
South by natural selection, as it were.
He brought his wife, children, and grand
children, who soon became as he did,
thoroughly identified with Memphis.
Hunter and Gilbert Raine, w~ell-known
yorng business men, are his grandsons.
Only a week or two ago he was on the
streets, apparently enjoying nearly his
usual health. But the vital forces Of life
had run down. and he passed away, sud
denly and easily, surrounded by every
attention and comfort. His memory will
ever be respected by his family ard many
friends. Yesterday his funeral took place
from the hotel where he died, and was
attended by a large gathering of our lead
ing citizens. The remains were conveyed
to Elmwooa and deposited for the present
IN a Vault.

THr FUTURE OF NEVADA.

The New York Sun remands the State
of Nevada to territorial vassalage. 1t
asserts, in an editorial paragraph, that
the question is asked along the Pacific
coast, What is to be the future of Ne.
vada, if, as seems more than likely, the
Comstock mines are wholly exhausted ?"
We will tell you, Mr.. Dana, briefly.
In the first place the Comstock has not
petered; and, secondly, the Comstock is
not the State by a long shot. We are
going to gridiron the State with railroads,
and in less than five years our taxable
property will be tribble and our popula-
tion double what either is to-day. That
is what is going to be the immediate flu
ture of the Silver State, and we will try
to wag along in the meantime without
outside sympathy.

Congressman Williams of Wisconsin
relates an experience with Colonel Inger-
soil in Maine during the campaign. Both
were on a small steamboat travelling from
one appointment to another. Grouped
about them were a lot of earnest temper
ance advocates, who were dwelling upon
the fine effect the Maine liquor law was
having upon the future generations OF
that State. Children born of temperate
parents were to beget noble stock, devoid
of bad habits. Turning to Colonel In
gersoll one temperance advocate said to
him: Colonel, do you not think that
the desires of a parent are pretty apt to
be transmitted to his children ?" II
do" said the Colonel, with a twinkle Of
his BYE, 81 should say if a man were to
90 without a drink all his life that he
would be pretty apt to transmit a very
strong desire for one to his children"

Particulars of the Affair from {
Eureka Man,

Particulars of the Affair from a
Eureka Man.
William Perry, we'll known here, writes
Jack Moore as follows regarding the kill
ing at that place. The letter bears date
May 8, and says: "Jack Sales shot and
killed . man here this evening. Jack and
q man named Brown came here two weeks
ago from Cherry Greek. This evening
Brown and q man named Smith played q
game OF billiards for $40. Smith, being
barkeeper, held the stakes. After tae
game was out Smith refused to give ND
more than half the money, and in conse-
quence they had some hard words. Then
Jack Sales shot Smith in the head, killing
him instantly. Jack immediately left for
parts unknown, and up to the present
writing has not been captured. I don't
think there will be much of an effort made
TO apprehend him, as the man Smith
went a great deal on his fighting qualities
and had previously insulted Jack. Jack
Sales is generally known in Eureka"
Speaking Of this ARRAY, the Ogden Pilot
says: A coroner's jury. composed Of R.
H. Tregaskis, Henry Conant and -
Chapple, returned q verdict to the effect
that Henry D. Smith came to his death by
q pistol shot wound ct the hands of Jack
Sales. 1t is said that Smith had been
blowing during the day that he would kill
somebody and was not very particular who,
only that he was spelling for . fight. About
the only regret among the citizens Of KEEL
ton appears to be that the killing should
have occurred In their tG ,vn. Sales has
not been arrested. and will most probably
stay away from Kelton In the future.
Where he Is at present, IL unknown.
