divine OF Memphis, entertained a very
small audience at Liberal Hall last
night on MAN, His Origin and Des.
tiny" The doctor is a good logical
speaker and made several excellent
points, but the general impression
made on the unbeliever in things
spiritual is that his religion will do to
live BY but an awful thing to pass
over" on. He started out BY saving
that he didn't know anything about
mans origin, whether he was a Oar.
winian monkey or an ideal angel, and
that he didn't believe ainAle word Of
the mosaic aqQoUat Of the creation Of
man. Adam was not the first man
nor Eve the FIRST woman, the sernept
Is simply myth. He don't think
there is anybody else believes it. he
asserted that man was divine. and in
thls Age OF change aud rapid progress
10 q few years everybody will be a god
divine, and perfect, and in a short
time theology, law and medicine will
be thing Of the past, and everything
will move by the influence of departed
spirits.

A MURDEROUs ASSAULT.
Two Private Policemen Resort to the Mace
ana Revolver in Settling Their
Differences.

Jacob L. SHUT and Martin Powers, the former
merchant policeman and the latter private
Waterman, both of whom patrol the same beat,
on South Illinois and Louisiana streets, INDUCED
in sangunary battle mt o'clock yesterday
morning at Guetigs saloon, at Illinois and
Georgia streets. According to the admissions of
both, there has long been feud existing be-
tween the men, each insisting that the other
should abandon the beat, but neither being
willing to consent to such arran cement.
They met indicated above, yesterday morn
ing, and hot words ensued, Shut charging
Powers with standing in with thieves, and
Powers, in retaliation, accusing Shut of being
interested in the earnings of certain members
of the ill-fame element in the neigh
borhood. Both men deny striking the first blow.
but certain it is that the two repaired to the
sidewalk, where they exchanged blows with
heavy canes, Powers head being laid open from
the scalp clear to tine forehead Powers drew a
revolver during the melee and fired two shots,
taking effect in SHUTS baud and the other
In the groin. Shut claims that Powers first
struck him with cane, and that he retaliated
by striking his adversary with his fist, where
upon Powers drew revolver and fired One shot,
which took effect in his hand He claims that
Powers then walked over to the surgical Insti-
tute corner, toward which lie followed, and that
when he had reached point about tine middle
of the street Powers returned and shot twice at
close range, the bail lodging In his
groin. Powers states that, on the con
trary, Shntt first assaulted him with
a caue, knocking him to MS knees, ana that while
in tins position ne fired both the shots. Powers
was soon afterward arrested on the charge of
shooting with intent to Kill, but was released on
hail to answer to the charge next Saturday.
Shut was removed 10 his residence, No. 223 East
Market street, and DR.. Eastman summoned. The
surgeon prOnOunces the wounds insignificant,
unless Inflammation should set in, in which case
the one IN the groin would lie dangerous. Shut
was several years member OF the regular police
force. Powers has been for six years an the beat
he now patrols. He shot and killed IA man here
during the war.

Ermlich, superintendent OF the car-wOrks. The
car bodies are thirty feet long eight feet wide,
thirty-s1x inches deep, and have a carrying ca
paoity of 10000 pounds; the trucks, which are
of new pattern, will safely carry 10000
pounds, being so constructed as to give swing
ing motion to the cars. AS a result tile strain on
the truck is NOT so great when the Car is heavily
loaded as the ordinary truck.
