THE LATE JUDGE CARMACK,
Chancery Court Adjourned i'm Respect
TO His MernOry.<

The Chancery Court adjourned yester-
day in respect to the memory OF Judged.
NJ. Carmack, who died at jackson, Tenn,
Tuesday morning, aged about ffty-seven
years. He was born in Hawkins county,
near Rogersyille, and spent many of his
summers there until recently, when his
mother died. He came to Memphis long
before the war, and had a large law prac-
tice. He was quiet, genial man, with no
public ambition outside of his profession.
During the war he was in the Confederate
service. Afterward he returned here and
was for a time judge of one of the courts
by appointment of Gov. Senter. OF late
years he has been in faiing health. For
fully ten years he was great sufferer,
and it was only at short intervals after
trip to Hot Springs or to the mount
to rally. When he was here last,
in August, he seemed to be better, and his
friends hoped that he had taken new
lease on life, but a few days ago news
came that he was seriously i'll at Jackson.
His death is not a surprise, but it will be
a matter OF serious regret in a large circle
OF friends. extending nearly all over the
| State. Judge Carmack possessed an mex
haustible fund OF dry, original humor, and
| could say the most unexpected things in
an inimitable manner. He was fond OF
| books and children and the friendship oi
| Il chosen few. He belonged to the Cath
Ole Church and was never married. His
remains were buried at Jackson Yesterday

FEAST OF BOOTHS.
Something of the Close Of tins Holidays
oTthe Sabbath Month.

Sukkos, the festival that closes the cycle
OF holidays OF the Sabbath month OF the
Jewish year, began Monday night, and
will continue until Tuesday next, the first
and last of - hich are regarded as holy
DAYS, while the intermediate period, called
Hoi-d-mods. is but slightly observed in a
religious sense. Formerly Sukkos was
one OF the grandest of Jewish holidays,
and its occurrence, following Immediately
after the ingathering OF the harvest, is re-
mindful OF the time when the lsraelites
were great agricultural people. The
changes in their condition and pursuits
during the latter centuries have of course
rendered the observance of the festival af-
ter the olden fashion impossible. The
Orthodox Hebrews-that is, some of them
still erect booths in which they spend Il
portion of each of the DAYS of the week
that will follow. This is done in com
memoration of the time when the Jews
inhabited Palestine. Then they We're
commanded to assemble thrice each
year in the Holy City for prayer,
and Sukkos was one OF these occasions.
SO proptious was the time that the num-
| bers that assembled at and near Jerusalem
| aggregated several millions, indeed, so nu-
meruus an assemblage that the city was not
| sufficient to accommodate them all, so
tents were erected in the fields and gar
dens around Jerusalem, and in these the
| people dwelt during their stay. 1t was the
Harvest Home" of Palestine. and the
way in which the Jews celebrated this
feast was in marked contrast with the
similar rejoicings of other ancient nations,
notably the Grecians and Romans, whose
| gala days were distinguished by riotoIs
outbreaks and licenaoVs performances.
The feast is also iRtended as a cpmmemo-
ration of the joVrneying OF the ancestors
for forty years after their departure from
Egypt fhs observance OF the feast is

BLANKETS AT AUCTION.
Trade Sale at New York by Manufac
turers' Agents.
The Range of Prices Very Low and the
Result Unsatisfactory.

New York, October 1.-THE feature of
the dry goods market to-day was the auc-
ton sales of blankets and lap-robes by Will
merding, Hoguet & Co., by order of Allen,
Lane d Co., Boston and New York, and
Rivinus, Rogers & Langford, New York
and Philadelphia. The offerings COM
prised 1923 packages of white and colored
blankets, 2166 packages of gray mixed and
horse blankets, lis packages of fiannels
and blanketing and 50,000 lap-robes. The
sales were very well attended by repre-
sentatives from all markets, but many
prominent buyers contented themselves
with watching the sales-aad marking cata-
logues. The sales opened well, but as a
whole the prices realized were very low
and unsatisfactory, and will mark loss to
every manufacturer represented. Between
agents prices and those realized there is a
difference of 80 to 40 per cent. White
blankets did better than gray mixtures
and horse blankets, and in the last named
the prices returned, compared with those
at private sale which agents will maintain,
show difference of from 40 to 80 per cent.

Murder Of u Siieep-Raiser in Kansas Tn

WICHITA, Ks, October 17.-C. Batham-
by, of Harvey county, started three weeks
ago from his farm near Newton, KS, with
1000 sheep overland through the Indian
Territory for Texas. He was accompanied
by woman named Nellie c. Bailey, the
eX-banker's wife at Sedgwick City Ba-
thamby hired William Dodson to help

shot by himself or somebody else, and
buried south of the Stataca ranch, and the
woman and man kept right on with the
sheep and teams c. NJ. Hollister, United
States marshal at Caldwell. KS, hearing
the facts, followed them, arrested and
brought them back to this city Monday
evening. He took metallic case with
him and brought the remains of Bathamby
back to Newton, and buried them beside
his deceased wife. The manner in which
Bathamby was shot shows that his death
was not suicide. The party will have an
examination before United States Commits

pearance of dark and bloody deed.

REFORMERS AT LEEDS.
AGXl SessiAil lament.


Next Session OF Parliament.
LEEDS, October 17.-John Bright arrived
this afternoon unexpectedly and attended
a reform meeting this evening. John Nor
ley, in opening the conference, was greet
ed with cheering. He announced that 500
liberal associations of the kingdom were
represented. He expressed a strong opin-
ion that the government should bring in
the county franchise at the next session of
Parliament, because the whole Liberal
party in the House OF Commons, except
ing, perhaps, Goshen, was united in the
belief that the question could no longer
be delayed. If the House of Lords raised
objection it would be dangerous for them.
Letters expressing sympathy with the ques-
tions to be discussed were received from
Trevylan, Chief Secretary for ireland !;
John Bright and Crawford, the miners
secretary. DIR. Dale moved a resolution
asserting that it is the duty OF govern
ment to produce a bill dealing with the
county franchise at the next session OF
Parliament. Mr.. Fierth proposed an
amendment in favor of the government
giving precedence to county government
and the London government bill. Josarth
the well-known labor agitator was present
Many distinguished members of Parlia-
ment were present. The hall was crowded
