TRIANGULAR BATTLE.
One Man Dangerously Cut and
Another Shot.

A bloody conflict took place between
three darkies about eight o'clock last
night at the curve on the fernando
street railroad, two OF them being
dangerously wounded. Jealousy was
the cause of the triangular conflict.
John ingram met Tom Cary at the
corner and reproached him with hav-
ing stolen his wifes affections. High
words followed, and Ingram drew a
knife with which he struck viciously
at Cary, inAicting wounds which may
prove fatal.
During the fight Buck Shaw dashed
in to the rescue of his friend Cary and
ingram drew his pistol, pulled the
trigger and put ball in Shaw's right
side near the right nipple, Buck
piled over by the side of Cary, while
Ingram aOurished his pistol and
shouted for the crowd to come on, but
as hispolite invitation was disregarded,
started home.
Deputy Sheriff Andrew j. Harris
was informed, and arrested ingram a
a short while after.

There is considerable inquiry as to
what was the trade recently made be-
tween the E ,st Tennessee, Virginia
a. Georgia Railroad Company. The
exact figures, as obtained from relia-
BILE source, are as follows:
For $4,000 in Memphis & Charles
ton Railroad stock, the East Tennes-
see system issue Of their own securities
$1,000 in preferred stock, and $4,000
In common stock.
The East Tennessee road pays all
the floating debt of the Memphis &
Charleston Company, and finish laying
the road in steel rails, and both com. +.
panies are merged into one. The East
Tennessee road has paid three per cent
semi-annually on the income bonds,
and it is believed that they can aud
will continue TO pay this rate Of inter
est. The stockholders will have 10
meet and confirm the trade, after an
advertisement Of sixty days, before the
securities can be given in exchange for
the Memphis& Charleston stock.

Mr.. Job M. Nash, a retired busi-
ness man, Of Cincinnati, who is we'll
known to many of our older citizens,
has tor seven years past kept standing
an offer Of $4,000 to the city for the
purpose of supplying public library,
provided the people will raise as much
more to provide suitable building.
The people Of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, his
native place, offer $4,000 to erect a
building if he will give them the
$25, 900 to furnish the library. He is
in the city, but will leave tomorrow.
His face, benignant as his heart, is
sympathetic and generous. He desires
to gi7o Memphis the preference, but
the offer caunot remain open much
longer. Some liberal subscriptions
have been obtained among our public
spirited citizens. 1t would be very
unfortunate to let such a prize slir
from our grasp The Nash library
would be an inestimable blessing t.
our young people, to all classes and tt
generations yet to come. Mr.. NasE
made much of his fortune by South
ern trade, and desires to give thi
splendid testimonial as an evidence o
his affection and good wishes.

The disclosure of the real author
ship of the newspaper communication
signed Southern Democrat" does not
surprise any one who wasat all familiar
with the circumstances at the time.
An attempt was made to fasten it on
G. w. Gill, man who in times past
was fond Of writing to the papers on
various subjects. But newspaper
men who had waded through his
badly constructed sentences, his
miserable grammar, and still
worse spelling, knew that
he could no more have written such
an article than one of the Psalms Of
David or the whole Book OF Job. 1t
was generally understood who wrote
the article aud why it was published.
Gill left town suddenly, and has not
been heard Of since. Mr.. Krekel, a
goodnatured, quletman, was the cats
paw in the case, and the only real suf-
ferer. 1t is safe to say that he will
not be picked up to do such work
again. Public opinion was pretty freely
expressed in regard to the matter at
the time, and nothing has occurred to
change the deliberate verdict of the
community. The responsibility having
been located at last, the affair can be
dismissed, but it will not be forgotten
1t affords an insight of human charac-
ter and motives and long.pent-up bit
terness and feelings Of revenge that
the better elements of society cannot
afford to forget if they would.

Duty Of the Democratic Party
NashYille World, 26.l

Nashville World, ISL
The members of the low tax COM
mittee who met here in obedience to
the call Of Chairman Wallace have
acted prudently and wisely. There
now seems to be but little doubt that
the party will be again invited for the
coming struggle, The resolutions
passed were conservatively and time.
ly and in such spirit as should and
doubtless will characterize the action
Of the other wing Of the party. We
have urged all along that it was the
duty Of the two Chairmen to call a
joint convention Of the Democracy OF
the State and the committee recon-
mends that such a cali be made.
The tone of the resolution about set
Ting the debt upon some middle
ground should be appreciated by all
Democrats because it is unquestion-
ably the key to the situation.

THE TENNESSEE BROKERAGE
An ,OCIATION.
Dealing ia Futures is IL Legiti.
maie Business Under Ihe Law.

Great interest was manifested last
week in the suit brought against the
Tennessee Brokerage Association, and
it is no more than the statement of a
fact to add that the verdict ofthe jury
in the Criminal Court of mot guilty"
gives general satisfaction. The prin-
ciple is established that a specula.
tive transaction through this Associs :
ton is not gambling as defined by the
law. 1t is as legitimate as any other
species Of speculation, Judge Horri-
gan charged one branch of the indict-
meut out of court: that Of keeping a
gambling house. The other branch,
that Of wagering, went to the jury, and
verdict was returned of mot guilty.
The contracts are valid upon their
face and this kind of business can
go ON now without interruption.
That is to say those who are dis
posed to speculate or take chances
in the rise and fall of grain, meats,
stocks and bonds can use the associa.
tiOn as an agency for bringing them
face to face as it were with the dealers
in these articles in Chicago or New
York. This is mere matter of con.
venience. Men who desire to specu.
late will find way to do so, and there
are great many who regard the bro
kerage associations as apublic benefit
and this class is particularly gratifed
at the result of the case lately in court
Those who do not believe in this
method of courting dame fortune, OF
are afraid to take any chances, should
keep away. Manager Golsan will
not send out and rope any Of
them in, nor will he guarantee tc
anybody certainty Of winning. He
does not keep an insurance agency.
