SOUTHWESTERN BENEFIT GUILD.
Resignation of its Worthy President,
Judge l. L. r. Sn0ed-GenspIf-
mentaTy REGULATIONS.

At full meeting OF the board of directors
of the Southwestern Benefit Guild on Satur-
day, January 18th, the following letter was
read from Judge ]. l.. t. Sneed, the president:
MEMPHIS, TENN January Il, 1882.
To the Board Of Directors OF the Southwestern
Benefit Guild:
GENTLEMEN you honored me last
May with the chief executive Office of your
new and attractive order, accepted it on
the condition that should be allowed to re-
linquish it whenever its burdens became in
compatible with my regular business. After
few months experience in the management
of its affairs, / find that / must either sur
render the chosen profession of my life or
sever my connection with the Guild. The
first alternative will scarcely be demanded of
me. The excessive labors of the ofice-in
creasing every day-haye compelled me very
often to put aside other duties and trusts
quite as delicate and imperative-ani l find
that | am obliged ia tender my resignation
as president, which l hereby do, to take
effect from and after this date. In severing
my connection with the board, l venture the
suggestion, that the rapid and remarkable
growth of the order and the vigilance and
constant labors that the faithful administra-
ton of its affairs demand, absolutely re-
quire that the incumbent of that office
should be some experienced business man,
who can devote his entire time and attention
to its duties, and that he should receive
compensation which will enable him to do
so. Allow me to say, gentlemen, that my
connection with you in the discharge of this
delicate trust has in all respects been agree
able; that l have experienced at your hands
the utmost courtesy, and that l can bear
cheerful testimony to the conscientious man.
ner in which you have endeavored to dis
charge your duties; and it is proper that /
should add that to the wisdom of your coun-
sells the order is indebted for its present salts
factory condition. Ies rapid growth and de-
velopment in this and other States have
shown that its management and benevolent
purposes alike command the confidence and
appreciation of the public. With certain
changes in your organic law, which expert
ence has demonstrated to be necessary, and
which are now being favorably considered by
you, am satisfied that your order will prove
a great and permanent benefactien to society.
/ have the honor TO be very respectfully
yours, JOHN L T. sNEEo.
Whereupon the following resolution was
offered and unanimously adopted
Resotred, That in accepting the resignation
of Judge John L. L. Sueed az president of
the Southwestern Benefit Guild, we deem it
but Just to him to say that his reasons for
retiring from Office are known to us to be
almost compulsory; that his s.rvices in the
establishment of the Guild have been arduous
and faithfully and ably rendered, and this
with a pecuniary reward far below the value
of such service, and that in his voluntary re-
tirement from Office he carries with him our
unqualified confidence, respect and good will.

AN OFFICERS SHOT
Pats an End to the Existence of a Worth
less Negro Convict at OyertOn
Station.
He Tries to Brain Sergeant Scott and
Officer Butler With an Ak,
But Fails.

Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Scott and
Officer Butler boarded a chesapeake and
Ohio train tor Oyerton station, in search Of
a negro named Bill Williams, an esca ped con-
vict from Eusley's plantation. Williams was
arrested over a year ago for the shooting Of
Monroe Alexander, by Captain O'Haver and
Sergeant Kuhnholtz. He was sentenced to
five years in the peuitentiary. He worked
on Ensley's plantation for several months,
and finally made his escape. Before doing
SO, he set fire to a storehouse, which was
TOTALLY BURNED.
For six months the police have been looking
for him, and information reaching them that
Williams was seen in the neighborhood of
Overton, the two officers, as already indicated
set out to catch him. Arriving at Overton
Station, which is about six miles from here
they left the train and walked about three
miles to the east until they came to the
shanty of a negro named Cousins. Here
they expected to find their man. Officer
Butler approached the cabin and
TAPPED AT THE DOOR.
"Who's there?" came from within.
"a friend, said Officer Butler
You can't get in"
LET me in"
"No, sir; the owner OF the house told me
to let nobody come in"
The officers held short and decisive con-
yersation. "Push in the door," said the
sergeant. Officer Butler did as directed. The
door yielded, and opened as it did so. Off
Ger Butler saw the CLEAN of ak in the air,
and blow directed at him cut the rim of
his hat. He raised his pistol and
PULLED THE TRIGGER,
but the cartridge snapped and the negro
bounded out and began slashing at Sergeant
Scott with his mur6erous weapon. He cut
the officers pants with his ak, but cid not
hurt him. Seeing that the man was desper-
ate and determined not to be taken and
the lives of both the officers being in danger,
the sergeant coolly took aim at the negro
and shot him. The crimin nal ran some twenty
yards, and then, in the popular criminal lam
guage of the day, 'fell with dull thud."
The officers held a rapid consultation. The
negro was evidently dead, as they heard the
GURGLE IN HIS THROAT.
Knowing that it was a colored neighbor-
hood and that the negroes would all be
soon aroused, the officers started away as fast
as they could, leaving the body. They heard
the whole country bowling shortly afIerward,
and they prepared to give the dusky recreants
a warm reception if they had appeared. On
the way to the railroad station, they passed
many negro cottages, but the inmates had
not yet heard of the killing and SO could not
give the alarm The officers reached The
station safely, boarded the train and arrived
at the stationhouse here covered with N nd
last night, and gave an account of themselves.

BITTER SWEET.
The Story OF a Handsome Girl Who
Was Married to a German in a
Beer Garden.
She Says She Has Been the Victim OF
Disgraeeful CoBspiraey-The
Man Deserts Her.

Yesterday afternoon very handsome
young lady came TO Clerk John J. Shea,
and in the presence also of an APPEAL re-
porter told a very pitiful tale. Her com
plexion was a rich, warm olive, her eyes
dark and attractive, and her lips rivaled the
proverbisl rcsebuds. She had soft. mellow
voice-an excellent thing in woman. Il wss
evident that she was in woman's sorest
trouble. She told her trials without any
hesitation to the clerk, because they had
taken posse ssion OF her mind completely
that II seemed to her not improper to do so-
BEIRAYED.
The APPEAL reporter reproduces her state
ment. About six months she-her name Is
Mary Cregel-was work ing at the Franklin
HOnss. While there her handsome appear
ance made an impression on a German, who
called himself VIM. Wilcox, as well as upon
gallant fireman. The latter was very much
In love with her, and was, as she said yes
terday, her true friend. The German, how
ever. succeeded in winning her, and she
agreed to marry him. He we Mt to the County
Court and secured license on September
18th The two then repaired
TO BEER GARDEN,
where they were pronounced one. The girl
says she doesn't know who the preacher was.
She never saw him before and would not
know him If she were to see him again. She
thinks now that he minister at all and
that he was merely a confederate OF Wilcox.
A young man BY the name OF August Steele
went on the marriage bond obtained by Viii
cox. After the two had been pronounced
man and wife by
THE ALLEGED MINISTER,
they went to the Worsham House, remaining
there short time Then they repaired to
the Franklin Hou3e where they have been
living ever since until about a week ago,
when he deserted her.
As soon as he left her she began to suspect
that all was not right, and she accordingly
began a search for his papers to see if there
were any signs of the license.
SHE sEARcHED HIS TRUNK,
but could not find it. From remarks he had
made before the dessertion, it appeared to her
that all was not right. Yesterday she came
to Mr. Shea to know whether any license had
been obtained, and reference to the books
showed that it had, but that it had never
been returned. Ii it is true that
A CONSPIRACY WAS FORMED
by Wilcox, Steele and the alleged minister to
chsat her of her virtue, the police would do
well to look into it. Too severe a punish
ment cannot be melted out, if the girls story
be true. She says she does not think Wilcox
is the real name of the German. She in
clines 10 the idea that Steele was an accom-
plice of her so-called husband, who is a
barber. She shed tears at her plight, and
said she was a fool for not marrying the fire.

The cheapness at winch elegant pictures

the shrewd merchants of this country to at

keep their name and business before the peo-

Care of the Worns-When the worms first
appear they are very small and dark. Place
over them small twigs of the mulberry, with
few young leaves on them. The worms
will very soon climb upon these, and begin
to eat. When the twig is we'll covered with
