The officers of the Ida Darrsgh, which ar
rived Sunday evening from Arkansas river,
brought intelligence of q stirring encounter
with an enraged mob at a point about thirty
miles above the mouth of The river.
A machinist employed on the Galbreath
plantation, near Red Fork, was arrested on a
charge of attempting to swindle Mrs. King,
with whom he boarded, OF 81 so and SEN
fenced TO hard labor with other convicts on
the 6 albreath farm. He was unaccustomed
to field work and could not keep pace with
the other hands. Three negro guards beat
him Tor his failure to do 30, and ALT Werner,
who stood by and to whom the
young man appealed in his agony,
did not interfere. The victim died
from the effects of the cruel treatm. MT
received. Werner, who is a sort OF over.eer
on the plantation, was arrested, together with
the three negroes, by the sheriff OF Dssha
county, and the party boarded the Darragh
Saturday to 60 10 Arkansas City for trial.
As the vessel nesred Burnett's Landing, a
short distance from Rid Fork, an enrsged
mob of several hundred people collected
along the shore and fred into her. Werner,
who stood on the forecastle of the lower
deck, w,s hit in the upper part of the thigh,
the ball lodging in his groin; another bail
also penetrated his back, passing around and
lodging IN front OF the stomach. One OF the
darkies under arrest in his fright jumped

or soot dead while in the wa
ter. The mob followed the vessel for
some distance down the river. No landings
were made after backing away from the at.

The SOUTHERN CIRCUIT
or the Mozart sOefety-DepartuTe Of
the Bnsiness Manager for
Atlantis

Mr.. r. Wsyue Wilson, the enterprisiug
manag Of the Mozart Society, left yesterday
evening for Atlanta, Ga, 10 make fnrther
arrangements Tor The Southern circui; cow
being organized fer the society. He carried
with him the following letter:
MOZART HALL,
AEHPHIs 6, TENN. July q, 1888. I
To the Cities OF the South:
Recognizing the fact that the cooperation
of amateur musical s~ocieties in the South,
org snizsd in circuit, will secure 10 each of
The p~srties concerned, for their respective
ciiies. a class OF superior entertainments at
prices az low as they are furnished TO the
larger Northern cities, the Mozart Society, Of
Memphis, Tenn, has effected preliminary ar
rangements in the East, with a view to &C.
complish this desirable result. Is pan con-
templates a division of expense and labor in
a cooperative confederation. Talent of the
highest description, including European
celebrities, as well as the better and more
expensive of the American combinations,
will thus be brought to the doors OF the
people of our section at popular prices
something never even attempted before, and
which would be thoroughly impracticable
should the whole expense OF railway travel
over a long route fall upon one or two of
our cities.
Mr.. r. Wayne Wilson, secretary and BUSH
ness manage of the Mozart Society, has
show bis rare executive ability in the sue.
cessful manner in which he carried out ia
plans culminating in the Theodore Thomas
Music Festival at Memphis-the frat and
only large music festival ever given in the
South. The rue cess of this giant undertsk-
ing conclusively proves thar the music-loving
and intelligent people of the South will pat
r~onize, support and continuously sustain
music of high order and educated merit.
Toe Mczlrt Society of Memphis, therefore,
sends its business manager Mr.. r. Wayne
Wilson, to you to explain lite views and plans
in detail. He will furnish you with the
methods OF the society which nave proven
so wonderfully successful here, and will, when
necessary, assist IN the orgsniz ,tion of simi-
lar musical associations. S satisfied that the
benefits iuuring to yourselves will prove am-
pie compensation for the email outlay OF
time and money required, your careful con-
alteration of the plan proposed and your
cordial cooperation in the same is conf
IDENTIFY r. requested.
By order OF the Directory, mozart Society,
G. v. RAMBAUr, President.
The ultimate success of the MOI arts liz
their new scheme is more than probable.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Mr.. Minor Meriwether Explains
the Editors of the Appeal:

Mr.. Minor Meriwether Explains
To the Editors of the Appeal:
Allow me space to explain in reference to
a part of my card in today APPEAL which
may be Misunderstood. Until July, 1881,
my con o rformed the duties of both clerk
aud book-keeper at 500 per month. Then
The court allowed me to employ at my dis
erection a book-keeper at 1925 per month,
which place I gave Mr.. Newsom, nv son con-
tinuipg ss clerk at 300 per month. Some
of the creditors unwilling to inclir the addi-
tional expense, very much opposed the allow
ance Of this additional aid, and kept up the
opposition 10 it till Mr.. Newsom resigned, in
March, 1882, when my con resumed the du-
ties of book-keeper, and l put another clerk
in his place. About the I'd of August, 1882,
the court, at the demand Of the creditors, re-
voked the order allowing a book keeper, and
my SON then retired from the Office, and the
clerical and bookkeeping labor was per-
formed By the one clerk at 500 per month
till the 18th Of February, 1888. when the
court allowed me another clerk. / repeat
the statement of the Avalanche that ] 'oustsd
Mr.. Newsom to give another place to the
family" is false in everv particular.
