ACCUSED OF MURDER.
A Drunken Man I'm Ihe StatfOnhOuse
With n Damaging Letter.

Day before yesterday Detectives Pryde and
McCune were put in possession of pointer
regarding railroad brakeman, Familiarity
called "Happy jack" who has been loafing
about the city for several weeks. Happy
Jacks real name is Jack Kinsley, and he was
formerly freight conductor on the Mobile
and Ohio road. About four months ago he
became brakeman on the Little Rock road
This man, the detectives were given reason
to suppose, was murderer. They were told
that he had on his persen a letter that
would convict him. They were also told
that he had made up his mind TO kill any
officer that attempted to arrest him, and were
warned not TO attempt it. Yesterday they
heard that he was putting up in the neigh
borhood of the Chelsea Baptist church, on
Fifth street, and that he had attended church
the night before. They accordingly kept in
the vicinity during the day, and finally they
found him in his room dead drunk. A lady
was spongipg his brow, and endeayoriDg to
cool his perturbed brow, which was bulgiug
unusually from excess of drink. When the
officers caught him he so drunk that he
could not walk, and cart had to be secured
10 take him to the stationhouse.
His pockets were gone through and sew
eral letters were found. One of them
answered to the description already given
the officers. 1t was a letter from a cousin OF
his, Sallie Williams, living at Mobile, Ala.
She warns him that the officers are on his
trail; that he had better skip out pretty
quickly if he don't want to be caught. She
informs him that one OF the men he
shot had died and that the other could
not live, according to the statement
of the doctor who was attending him.
She also cautioned him against coming
in the way of the officers, saying that she
knew his disposition and that he would muir
der the man who tried to arrest him. The
superstition is that he killed somebody at
Mobile. He has been wearing a green patch
over his eye if something was the matter
with his vision. This was discovered to be
a blind. The officers have telegraphed to
Mobile for particulars.

To the Editors of the Appeal:
"Mother Goose's" article in the APPEAL of
late date is timely and to the point Truly
your good people can't afford to let such an
opportunity pass by unimproved; this prof
fered jewel viii certainly find a casket
at the hands of your phianthropist and cap
italist As looker-on in Vienna we are
delighted always to see new enterprises sgi-
tated and pushed to completion. Memphis
needs much yet to bring her abreast of her
sister cities of the same population, and
while she should welcome and foster every
new enterprise that has for its object the
advancement of her people, yet you should
in no wise neglect those you already have.
As a stranger in your city l was kindly
driven by one of the trustees of

and was sgreeably surprised and delighted
to find so we'll equipped and ably conducted

peal go forcibly 10 all that is noble, and gen.
erous and good in man. {. those who are

formed by the gentleman that the afable
and competent lady who presides with such
tender and motherly solicitude over the in
stitutiou as matron at this time, was reared
under the fostering care of this asylum, and
this alone speaks more forcibly and elo-
quently than the brush of the painter or the
pen of the poet could possibly speak. Homes
for no less than a dozen of these little or
phans were provided last year, and with an
obligation to the trustees that a suitable
trade and education would be taught them.

Memphis Race Horses.

While at the track yesterday an APPEAL
reporter made some inquiries as to the num-
Der and standing of the race horses about
the city. At the track are the two splendid
stations of Mr.. Waldran. They are not
running horses, one being we'll bred trotter,
now showing considerable speed, and the
other Ia superb animal) a combination sad
die and harness horse, likely 10 sire the most
useful class of animals The best horse in
the stable at Olympic Park is the great
Quartermaster, famous racer in his day,
wonderfully successful sire of racers consid-
eripg his opportunities, and likely to get
fast ones whenever mated with good blood.
Nearly all the running horses in this locality
are by Quartermaster. Two notable excep-
tions are the splendid brown FLY by Long
fellow, owned by Mr.. c. S. Farrar, and the bay
colt Burnside, owned by Mr.. Gallina and
sired by JEFF DAVIS. Mr. Weatherford's
Tennessee Girl and Brian Boru are both by
Quartermaster, and are frst-rate performers
in short races. Jerry Crowley has Commits
sary, by Quartermaster, dam Reelfoot, that
promises to become q speedy and reliable
horse. Yesterdays race was the first for
both Burnside and Commissary.
OLYMPIC PARK
1t is frequently asked whether the Memphis
Driving Club will keep the park for driving
purposes. 1t is believed they will. There
are enough gentlemen about Memphis with
good road horses to justify the club in hold
ing the park and securing the membership
of all honest gentlemen who love racing for
the amusement in it. OF course, it takes
money to support horses, and those who ran
or trot them ought to have an occasional
pure hung up for competition. Let the
club offer such an inducement occasionally.
Enough interest ought to be maintained to
justify the club in offering purses for an
evenings racing each month during the sum-
mer.
