THE ELOPING COUPLE
From ST. LOuis Supposed TO be i'm Men,
phis-Traeke ed by "a scribe.

Yesterday afternoon an APPEAL reporter
got information that the eloping couple from
St. Louis, Young Curtis and Mrs. Barnett
Dixon, would arrive in Memphis on the
Louisville road at $50 o'clock. The re-
porter accordingly posted himself TO catch
them and interview them. When the
train came in the scribe interviewed
the sleeping-car conductor, who pointed out
young couple the suspected parties.
The girl was very handsome, apparently
eighteen years old, and the young man was
of runty stature. Every body on the train
regarded them peculiarly, and they were said
by all to be the young couple under discussion.
The APPEAL's sleuth-hound was not satisfied
of it, however, and resolved to follow them.
Everybody at the depot watched them curl
ously as they walked away. Their baggage
was checked for the Peabody, but they
had only valise and a bundle they took it
with them, and began to walk down Main.
The young man stopped at Deiss's saloon
and got glass of beer, and, rejoining
his companion, went through to Second
street and promptly put up at a house,
which the reporter ascertained to te one OF
iIl-fame. Rumors in the meantime spread
all over the town that the clipping couple
were in town. The APPEALS Deck Hand who
takes an aesthetic interest in such matters,
was dispatched 10 the place where the
young girl was putting up. She was
found and interviewed.
"Are you Mrs. Dixon?" asked the d. III.
mo; but the people in the car thought
was | am a Kentucky girl, and ran away
from my home some months ago and went
to st. Louis, where l remained for some
weeks at No 1O3 North Tenth street, with
Mrs. Harris. My parents heard ! was there
and took me home. Then | ran away with
my present companion
"Who is he?n
"a Kentucky y printer. He paid my way
here"
"What is your name"
"Effie; that's all you'll get out OF me-"
The Deck Hand could not find what town
she came from, but she spoke of Paducah.
She is afraid her father will find her out.
She said she was seventeen, and she Is strik-
ingly handsome. She played some music on
the piano for the ID. II. and he left.

THE New York IIibunes Washington cor
respondent, in letter on the unofficial cabi-
net of the President, says that Cameron, Of
Pennsylvania, stands closest to Arthur and
has more influence with him than "any
other man." and that next 10 him comes
Senator Jones, of Nevada, and Senator Lo-
gan, Of illinois. Senator Jones is not a
"boss," and has no State organization to
build up. He is not supposed TO take much
personal interest in appointments, but to
hold rather an sdvisory relation to the
President. He had strong influence with
President Grant, a counselor and friend,
and is thought to stand in much the same
place with respect TO President Arthur.
General Logan, it need hardly be said, is a
"boss," and, ss the "boys" would say, "bully
one at that" His great object now is to con-
troll the election OF the new United States
senator from Illinois TO his liking, and he
has even been suspected of being candidate
for the presidency in 1884, but, of course,
that depends upon what his master "Arthur"
says, and all the world now knows he wants
to be his own successor. Logan will, there
fore, have to be content with being part of
the "power behind the throne greater than
the throne ITSELF"

Mr.. j. III. Lane, inspector of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
and Animals, reports that: During the

sixiy-eight cases, among which were forty
nine overloaded vehicles, three cases of cruel
beating, twelve sore, lame, poor and diseased
animals, protected three children, made
eleven arrests, nine of whom were fined, and
two repremanded and discharged. The
burned buffalo had my attention until his
death. Besides the above cases, l was en-
gagged more than a half day to prevent
about fifty cruel draymen from driving pell-

CORNERS AND FUTURES.
Meeting of the Special Committee OF
the New York Senate.

NEW York, April 29.-The special Senate
Committee on Corners and Futures continued
it's session to-day.
Isaac III. Reed said that he could not see
why the Legislature should interfere in the
legitimate business of dealers in options; any
legislation that would limit speculation in
corners and futures would result in decrease
of the volume of business in the Produce
Exchange unless the members in some way
evaded the law, and it would certainly affect
the pecuniary interest Of members. Witleas
could not see how law could be framed
which would correct the existing abuses with
out affecting legitimate speculation.
Charles Partridge, the next witness, showed
that the sales in wheat alone at the exchange
from July, 1879, to April 20, 1882 for spot cash,
amounted to $244, ,737 900, while the sales at
options, puts and calls, futures and straddle,
amounted to 81, l54. .267 900. He was strong
ly opposed to the latter way of doing bust
ness, as it was demoralizing, and in no bust.
ness will 50 many financial wrecks be found
as among grain spectators. The system
was contrary not only to sound public pol
icy, but to the best interests Of the people.
He thought there should be a law making it
penalty, punishable by fine and imprison-
ment, for any person to engage in sales, the
products of which they never see or handle.

RIO JANEIRo, March 31.-The telegraph
brings us news that the question between the
Italian minister and the Uruguayan govern
ment has become a serious one, the latter
having pulled down the legation arms and
embarked on an Italian frigate on the 26th
instant, his ultimatum for immediate salts
faction having received no reply. This in
ternationsl difficulty arose as follows: A
rich Montevidian was murdered and robbed
in February. The police arrested two Ital-
ians, and in order to force them to surrender
the money and confess subjected them to bar
barous tortures. Finally the innocence of the
Italians was proved by the confession of the
real murderer, a Montevidean ex-policeman,
and they were released. Their story created
an intense sensation. From strong, sturdy
men they were reduced to cripples, with
hands and arms paralyzed. Their bodies
were covered with marks of kicks and stabs
and their feet with those of burning. Ac-
cording to their story they were on three
days submitted to the Columbian cepo; that
is, with arms and legs stretched out TO the
fullest extent, with dry ropes from their
wrists and ankles to distant stakes and
left in the dew 10 allow the ropes to
shorten and strain the joints still further;
their fingers were forced asunder with an
iron rod; their mouths were filed with sand
to choking; they were forced to eat red her
rings and other salt food, water being denied
and placed in sight but out of reach; their
feet were roasted, and they were kicked and
cut with knives in rage that they would not
confess. The Italian minister demanded the
punishment of the officials who had ordered
or connived at the maitreatment and $50, 900
gold as compensation, and finally, as no sat-
isfaction could be had sent IN his ultimatum
on the 25th and broke off relations on the
18th. He is supported by the Spanish minis
ter, who is ordered to push for satisfaction in
the case of Sanches Cahallero, also tortured
in the interior and made away with when
ordered to be cent to Montevideo. The
French minister has a claim on account of
French mariner killed by the police, and
the Brazilian government has reclama alton
for over forty Brazilians forced into the
army, for many cases Of maltreatment OF
and for a recent affair in which
an Uruguayan authority crossed into Brazil
ian territory 10 seize an obnoxious person.
Brazil has, il is understood, threatened to
send an army into Uruguay TO protect her
citizens, but the Argentine government is
trying to arrange a settlement which would
prevent 80 serious a measure.

Vi EMPHIs AND SELMA ROAD.
The Work 10 Begin at Once and NOT 30
Stop at Holly Springs.

Yesterday an APPEAL reporter called on
Messrs. Busby & Toof to ascertain any addi-
tional points they might have concerning the
Memphis, Selma and Brunswick road
Major Busby said it was a mistake to sup
pose that the road would be built only to
Holly Springs. 1t would be built as rapidly
as possible To that point, and an engineer
corps will begin at Holly Springs and extend
to Pontotoc. The route between here and
Holly Springs, except two miles, is graded,
as well as from Pontotoc to Okolona
Major Busby said that instead of advertising
the full thirty days they would advertise
only twenty, so as to put everything in order
as coon as possible. By the lst Of October
the work will be done. The arrangements
nearly all made, and Mr.. Wolfe has a
lot OF iron at Chattanooga. Mr.. Busby says
there is no trouble about the money, and
that Mr.. Wolfe is in earnest.
Mr.. Toof said the interview OF the day
before with him was calculated to be wrongly
construed. He did not say that the road
would be built only to Holly Springs, but
that this section would be Immediately built.
The advertisement for bids is in course of
preparation, and will be published in a few

SEVERE REBUKE FROM COUNT KUToUsoFF
Count Peter Kutousof, a grandson of the
illustrious soldier who defeated Napoleon /
in 1912, has administered a severe rebuke
to General Skobelef in the shape of a
pamphlet published at Berlin, in the French
language under the title Les Hrdis Lltereks
du Monde Stare ct Ia Ruir Europeenne. In
this brochure, which is addressed directly
to the "Victor of Geok-Tepe," Count Ku-
tousof pronounces condemnation, in the
plainest and most uncompromising terms,
upon the bellicose and dishone3t policy OF
the Panslavists, and calls their sell. elected

tion now striving to commit Russia to a
course of bloodguiltiness and greed, the
count proceeds to attack him thus: "Your

Austria in Russian society have brought you
