On the East Tennessee and Virginia Road
Near ChattanOOga-The Sheriff
and His Deputy
Killed, the Train Captured and Pris-
Oner Reseued-A Sad Tragedy
Bogus Nautch Girls.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, September H.
The sheriff and deputy Of this county
were shot and killed to-day while en- route to
Knoxville with q prisoner. 1t is one OF the
most daring murders in the annals Of crime.
John Taylor two years ago killed captain
Fletcher on the Tennessee river. He es-
CAPPED at that time, but was finally captured
and brought 10 this city. He had several
trials, and at the last term of the court was
sentenced to ten years hard labor in the PEN
itentiary. He got an appeal to the Supreme
Court. The court is now in session at Knox
vile. To-day at noon Sheriff Cate and
Deputy Conway took the East Tennessee
train, having Taylor in charge. He was
haudcuffed. Several men boarded the train
at Sweelwater, or Philadelphia, about nj
teen miles from here, and while the
train was between Philadelphia and
Loudon deliberately shot and killed
Cafe and Conway, and wounded another
man, released the prisoner and took charge
of the train, running it through Ioudon.
A. Lenoirs Station John TAYLOR and his
brothers, Bob and Andy, got of, and forcibly
took horses and left for the mountains.
John Taylor was wounded in the arm. The
city is in intense excitement. A posse OF
thirty men, with Springfield rifles, left on a
special train on the Cincinnati Southern
for Kingston. Another posse will leave over
land. A posse has already LETT Kingston,
and another Loudon. Cate has been sheriff
two weeks to-day. He was one OF the
most popular men in the city. He was
about fifty years old, and leaves q
large family. Deputy Conway was about
thirty years of age, and prominent
local politician. Such excitement has moi
been in Chattanooga since the war. A spe-
cial train will bring the bodies here tonight
The shooting occurred about 4 O'Clock
Governor Hawkins offers reward for the
apprehension of the murderers.

MEMPHIS APPEAL
11Y. SEPTEMBER Is, 1882
,1ERIT REMARDED.

The unanimous nomination OF the Hon.
Poiudexter Dunn, at Forrest City on Wednes-
day. as the Democratic candidate to repre-
sent the First Arkansas district in Congress,
was a grateful tribute to public servant
who has been tried in the service of the peo-
pie and proved himself faithful and efficient.
The people of Memphis rejoice in the nomina-
ton Of Mr.. Dunn, as he has been the unvary-
ing friend OF this city in matters of local
concern and leading champion OF every
great measure in which our people are in
terested. Indeed, no Southern member OF
Congress exercises a greater influence than
Poindexter Dunn, of the First Arkansas
district. On all questions involving the
interest of his State, his constituents and the
Southern people, his power and usefulness
have been felt on all occasions. His atten-
tiveness 10 his duties has been made the sub
iect o: comment at Washington. Instead Of
passing the greater portion Of his time at
the capital in eleg ant leisure, at home at
tending to his private business, or in politi-
cal intrigue, or on the streets in gay 80
ciety, he is always at his post, zealously
watching over the great interests that have
been intrusted to him. He has been ipstru-
mental in pushing through Congress much
legislation, chief among which we may mem
ton the river and harbor bill, by which
Arkansas will derive as much benefit as
any State in the Union. The tests OF
capacity, honesty and political trustworthi-
ness have all been applied to him and in
nothing has he been found wanting. He
has therefore established his right to the
nomination which was unanimously bestowed
upon him by the convention at Forrest
CITY on Wednesday. Mr.. Dunn has a broad,
comprehensive mind, clear and cool iudg-
ment. great force in debate, and the
sagacity, courage and determination neces-
sary to constitute the successful leader. The
influence of Poindexter Dunn in Congress
is known, felt and respected. Arkansas
never had a more faithful and efficient mena-
Der of Congress. We presume he will have
no serious opposition, as the people are
almost unanimous in the opinion that he
ought to be kept where his labors have
been unremitting. He has many years
experience, is familiar with the unfinished
business, and will 90 back to Congress
knowing his duties and ready to perform
them. We presume Mr.. Dunn will never
again be a candidate for reelection to the
House of Representatives, as it seems to be
understood in Arkansas that he will be
transferred to the Senate as the successor OF
James d. Walker, whose term will expire
March 3, 1885. With Garland and Dunn in
the Senate of the United States Arkansas
would be as ably represented as any State in
the Union,

Boeu. Nautch GirIs-A clever SEN.

CINCINNATI, September 14.-The Gazette
exposes the fact that the "Nautch girls" who
travelled with Snelbsker's show were no other
than the Vivian Sisters, company OF we'll

missionary, who had just returned from
India, accompanied by young Hindoo girl,
was to give lecture in the city the same
night on which the "Nautch girls" performed.
The reporter borrowed the Hindoo maiden
and attempted to interview the "N autch
girls," when the managers owned up to the
fraud The "Nautch girls" themselves thus
relate their experience: "Oh, what dread

RUsr AND REET7L Nv WHEAT

As many farmers in this section
have held their wheat in anticipa-
ton of better prices, and as wheat
is generally stored in bulk, the
weather since harvest having been
unfavorable for the preservation of
grain free from mustiness and Wee
vii which are produced by damp
ness. thereby greatly damaging the
quality of the grain. We give the
following from one of our oldest and
most successful farmers: To pre-
vent the dampness from producing
mustiness and weevil in wheat, it is
only necessary to procure some
clear and thoroughly dry bricks,
such as are used in the erection of
houses, and scatter them through
the bulk grain so that there may be
about one brick to every two bush
els of grain, and they will absorb
the moisture and keep the wheat
perfectly dry, thus preventing any
tendency to mustiness or weevils.
In case of n long, continued rainy
season the brick should be removed
and be replaced by fresh ones every
four weeks" '... rf o.
1t is Twell-known fact that q
common clay brick will absorb more
than a pint of water, and while the
above may seem simple we would
advise farmers to test its value be-
fore condemning it for its simplicity,
as the cost would be comparatively
nothing, and the benefit might be
great.-N0Sh World. -
