A PRIVATE INFIRMARY
To be Established I'm This City by DIR.
w. T.. Rogers.

Dr. w. E. Rogers has consummated pre-
liminary arrangements for the establish
ment of a private infirmary in this city,
which will supply long-needed want.
There is hardly a city in the Union of half
the proportions of Memphis but has its
private infirmary, at which persons in
good circumstances, but without relatives
or immediate friends, can be treated and
receive all the attention that could be be-
slowed at their own homes. Particularly
is it great benefit to railway employees,
strangers visiting the city, single gentle
men employed in the various lines OF busi-
ness, etc. These institutions are generally
located in the central part of cities, con-
venient of access from hotels, boarding
houses, railways, ETC., and are conducted
in such manner as to be in no way often
sive to the most fastidious neighbors. DIR.
Rogers has secured building with ample
accommodations for such purpose, and we
are informed will at once prepare it for the
reception OF patients, and which he de-
clares shall be conducted in the most or
derly manner, supplying all the comforts
and attention that could be secured to the
most wealthy at their own homes. DR..
Rogerss reputation as a physician and
surgeon, as well as the enthusiasm with
which he undertakes any enterprise. is
sufficient assurance OF the unexception-
able character OF private infrmary under
his management. He declares that no
contagious disease will be admitted, and
the institution will be managed with Il
view to furnishing safe and comfortable
retreat to any and all who might otherwise
suffer for want OF proper attention while
under treatment. The institution will
certainly receive the support and influ-
ence of the community, since it will be
the means of bringing thousands OF dol
lars to the city, as well as making it, as the
Memphis Hospital Medical College has
done, the great medical center of the
Southwest. The private infirmary will, of
course, be devoted to DR.. Rogers's own
patients. The opening of the institution
will he duly announced in these columns.

IF the statements that come to us 10y
telegraph are true that the law officers OF
the British government are eXerting not
only their almost illimitable powers to
convict O'Donnell of numbering the infa-
nous informer Carey, but are using their
influence as government agents to prevent
the unfortunate man from putting his
ease fairly before the world through the
witnesses he has summoned, it Will 60 far
to convince the American public that it il
not the vindication OF the law, but ven
geance that actuates the British govern
ment wherever and whenever Irishmen
are to be dealt with under a criminal
charge within its dominions. This is to
be regretted. A fair trial is more neces-
sary in this than any other case that has
recently come before the English courts.
There is good reason for believing that
ODonnell acted in self-defense in shoot
ing Carey, and he ought to have the
benefit OF all the testimony Forthcoming
to reiute and rebut that which the Crown
lawyers rest their charge of assassination
upon. His wife, whom he deserted in
Philadelphia, and who speaks OF him as
an incurable rover, does not believe that
he is an "Invincible," or would, had he
known Carey, have killed him as an
avenger of the Irishmen whom the worth
less scoundrel betrayed to save his own
neck. She thinks, aud most people who
have given the ease any study believe,
that he shot Carey in self-defense, deter
mined, as they say in the West, that the
informor should not get the drop on him

A CASE OF DEVELOPMENTS.
Arrest of Two Men on a Simple Charge
of Dis0rderly COnduct.
Who Are Afterward Proven TO be Thieves
Of the First Grade.

What at first appeared to be a very inno-
cent case when taken charge of by Patrol
man Jackson yesterday morning, deyel-
oped into very complicated one before
two hours had passed. Jackson took
charge of fellow for acting in disorderly
manner on the streets. When searched
at the stationhouse pistol was found in
his pocket, and a charge OF carrvin" con-
cealed weapons WAS lodged against him.
Just before court met Ed B. Murray and
Ed Wells, employees of the Louisville
and Nashville railroad, called and gave
descriptions OF three watches and three pis-
tolls that had been stolen from them while
asleep in the caboose in the yard of the
Louisville and Nashville depot. Officer
Hedrick hearistsxe description read, and
when he went back to turn the prisoners
into the courtroom spotted the man who
had been arrested by jackson a short time
before. He was again searched and an
other watch found in his pocket. One had
been found with him when the pistol was
taken from his pocket. Both watches and
the pistol were identified. Shortly after
ward a description of coat and a pair OF
boots stolen from G. I. Reeves, in the Kit
Williams block, was handed in, and
led to the discovery that they
too had been stolen by Harris,
whose feal name is Harry Larkin
and that he had pawned them at barber.
shop. They were recovered. A man who
gave his name as Mike Brady was de-
scribed as having been concerned with
Larkin, alias Harris, in the robberies. He
| had also been arrested for disori1erly con
| duct, on Thursday, and put on the chain
gang. Larkin was brought in, and, after 8
little parley, acknowledged that he was {
comrade of the fellow first arrested. The

SAFE-ROBBERY.
Four Hundred Dollars stolen from J.
NJ. Davis, at Bartlett.
The Burglar Arrested Yesterday by
Depufy-Sherif MeKeOn.

Some time before daylight yesterday
morning the safe in the grocery store of
j. NJ. Davis, at Bartlett, was burglarized
and $500 in money and S10O in notes and
checks stolen. The safe is of the Hall
patent, with a combination, and was prob
ably left unlocked. Mr.. Davis does not
remember having turned the combination
of when he left the store.A shutter in
the back part of the store had evidently
been "doctored" on the inside the night
before while Mr.. Davis was busy with his
customers. A top was found to be miss
ing from one of the bolts securing the
cross-bar, so that it could be easily re-
moved by anyone from the inside. Sus-
picion at once rested upon Henry Bed
ford, darky who had just finished
serving term of seven years in the State
prison, and who has not shown much de-
sire for hard work since his release This
suspicion was confirmed by discovery
made during the forenoon. Jack Me
Dowel, who lives about 400 yards from
Davis's store, and who rents u room to
Bedford, found small drawer in his well
which was at once recognized as that taken
with the money from Dayis's safe. Search
was instituted and several of the stolen
checks, broken drawer lock and bottle
which had been sold Bedford filled with
brandy were found. Bedford had disap-
peared, and notice was at once given to
the sheriff, and other officers that could be
reached. About noon Bedford was seen
in the act of boarding Poplar street car
at the corner of Main and Poplar streets
by Deputy-Sheriff Tom Mckeon, who
promptly arrested him. Bedford was
searched, and in his watch-pocket SlOC
note was found. In another pocket 50 in
silver, So gold piece and two silver
dimes were discovered. He was sent tc

ONE OF the best and most satisfactory
results OF the election in Mississippi is the
heavy Democratic majorities in all the
counties save Pamela composing the Con-
gressional district from which Gen. Chal-
mers claims 10 have been elected last year.
DesOto county went Democratic by 1900
majority, Marshall by nearly 1000 and
Lafayette the home of Senator Lamar, by
200 majority, elerting two Democrats to
the Legislature and all the Democratic
nominees for county offices. The Vicks-
burg Herald, calling attention to these
sweeping rebukes of Chalmers by what he
calls his constituents, says: Chalmers
had set his heart upon carrying 'Lamar's
home, but the wretched renegade counted
without his host. The true-hearted
Democrats of Lafayette refused to be led or
driven, like sheep to the shambles, and
they have repudiated Chalmers and his
methods. Honor to the gallant fellows
who trampled our little Mississippi Ma
hone into the dust and mire. They have
deserved well of the country, and have
rendered the name OF Lafayette still more
illustrious."

THE 40Oth anniversary OF the birth of
Martin Luther, the Great Reformer, was
yesterday celebrated by Protestants every
where with enthusiasm. In Germany,
where, by his example of courage of con-
viction and his unyielding bravery as the
leader of the Reformation he made his
deepest impression, princes and mobiles
united to do honor to his memory and
thus revived an event the most momentous
in modern history. With Luther's dogma
and coarseness of language the world has
long ago made its peace. 1t remembers
only that he declared for the inestimable
rights Of private Judgment and liberty OF
conscience. What he believed or what
he taught as to religion were matters
that concerned himself and those-who be-
lieved with him, but the great underlying
and basic principle of individual liberty,
the right of every man to think and act
for himself in things spiritual as well as
temporal remains imperishably linked
with his name His differences with the
Roman Catholic Church, which hourishes
nowhere better than in this country, are
still matters of controversy and dispute
With these the world at large does not
concern itself. 1t is the spirit OF
freedom which he unfettered to tighten
the slavery OF heart and soul in which he
found the masses OF Europe stepped, that
still inspires the people and endears his
name to all lovers of liberty. The age was
ripe for him and he for it, and he proved
himself equal to the hopes born OF pre-
vious struggles for freedom. Luther, IS
an apostle of liberty, viii live long after
religious contention has ceased and the
bgotry of the sects has been forgotten.
His is one of the names not borne TO die.
He was the hero of an immortal renown.
A man Of the people he fought for the
people, and above all other men made the
.Ainsrisa republic possible.
