TWO BODIES
From the Wreck OF The Steamer Golden
City Discovered Sunday.

Sunday afternoon two bodies from the
wreck of the Golden City were discovered
near the floating docks moored in the neigh
borhood of Fort Pickering. About noon the
steamer Commonwealth was coming up the
river, and the acsion of her wheels caused
two bodies to rise to the surface of the water.
The bodies were seen near the shore, half a
a mile probably above the place where the
wreck of the Golden City lies. As men were
bodies, the two hoaters were soon discov-
cred by them and skiffs started ont and
towed them ashore. The bodies were those
of a negro man and woman. The man
was ascertained to be John Jones, the
colored roustabout, although his features
were decayed almost beyond recognition.
The woman proved to be Mrs. W. II. Stowe
Her face was greatly discolored by the pro-
cess of death, but her form was not much
swollen. On her fingers were two rings which
were blackened considerably, and gave evil
dence that the lady was scorched by the
fire and jumped in the water, preferring that
death to the more terrible one of burning.
She was in her night robes when found, and
besides the two diamond rings found on
her were valuable ear rings. The body of
Jones was inferred in Eimwood cemetery
Sunday aft rnoon, the expenses of burial
being betrayed by Captain Mcintyre. The
body of Mrs. Stowe was taken to Walsh's
undertaking establishment Sunday night,
and two men guarded it to keep it from
being despoiled. Esquire Fleming held the
inquest. Yesterday afternoon Chief Davis
had The body sent on to New York to friends
of the deceased. Captain Mcintyre is doing
all in his power to discover the bodies, and
he has shown such pluck and Willingness to
face all consequences as have commended
him to the admiration of everyone

JUDGE HORRIGAN
Thanked and Requested 10 Maintain
the Special Guard in the Suburbs.

To the Editors of the Appeal:
We, the undersigned residents Of the Fifth
and Fourteenth civil districts, take this op-
portunity of expressing our appreciation of
the wisdom displayed by our very able and
popular judge of the Criminal Court. L. B.
Horrigan, in issuing the late order for
patrol to guard the suburbs of the city, as
we'll as the city proper; OF the prOmptness
and discretion exercised by Sheriff Athy in
the organization of this force, and OF the
very efficient manner in which it was handled
by Captain McMahan. While under its
protection we experienced a sense of security
against the attacks of the midnight prowler,
thief and assassin which we have not felt for
a long time; and, if not deemed incompati-
bic with the interests of the county, we would
respectfully ask the honorable County Court
to continue this very useful organic alton, at
least for little while longer.

Esquire Bledsoe offered the following:

DieusOc OIeTeQ INC IOilCWlDR.
"WnEREAs, There was, according to the re.
port of c.. Wetherford, State and county
agent for the collection of back taxes about
two years ago, the amount Of 100000 due
the State and county on property mostly in
the old city of Memphis; and, whereas, &C.
cording to the report of the receiver of the
extinct municipality of Memphis, there is
due on the same property the sum of 81 ,500,-
900; and, whereas, the same property is in
debted for taxes to the Taxing Distric. OF
Shelby county, Tenn, in the sum of S1l3 000
which aggregated sums in many instances
exceed the true value of the property SO in
debted; and, whereas, it is highly desirable
that said property be disincumbered, so that,
instead of it being, as it now ia, practically
exempt from taxation, it may be made to
pay its proportion of the burdens Of the
State, county and municipality; therefore
Resided. That the General Assembly be
requested to make it the duty of some cffi-
Ger to file bills 10 the Chaneery Court to en-
force tax liens on behalf of the State and
county, and when a sale is hsd, that it be
free from the equity of redemption"
The resolution was referred to committee
composed of Holeman, Bledsoe and Winters.
J. E. Beasley and Louis Daltrof were ap-
pointed notaries public.

MIR. PARCIIMENTS NEW CLIENT.

Mr.. Parchment generally regarded a
new client with certain amount of dis
trust, being an old-fashioned family So
hcitor OF conservative notions, with a
very respectable and wealthy connec-
ton. But Mr. John Downing came to
him with an introduction from a relia-
BILE source, and at glance Mr.. Parch-
ment was favorably impressed by him.
He turned out to be an elderly gentle
man, somewhat infrm, with an air of
Importance and quiet dignity which the
lawyer had learnt from experience to
associate with a good rent-roll and a
prediction for the three per cents.
Mr.. Downing commenced by apollo
giving for the lateness of the hour he
had chosen for his visit, it being then
between six and seven o'clock in the
evening. Observing that the old gentle
man was mufiled up to the ewes, and
spoke in a hoarse whisper, as though
he was suffering from some affection of
the chest, Mr.. Parchment remarked up
on the imprudence of his venturing out
after dark.
If it does me any harm l shall have
