Dead With a Baby in Her Arms.
Philadelphia Press, January 28tL.


Mollie L. Taylor, seventeen years of
age, was servant in the employ of
Mrs. Francis P. Smith, of 407 Locust
street. Mrs. Smith left her in apparent
ly perfect health at eleven O'Clock yes
terday morning, singing as she went
about her daily duties, and did not re-
turn until four o'clock in the afternoon.
Arriving at the house she was surprised
to find it closed and the doors locked
and, though she rang the bell persist
entity, no one answered the call. Officer
Green effected an entrance from the
rear and opened the front door to admit
Mrs. Smith. Together they went
through the house, the mother trem-
bling with fear and anxiety for the safe.
ty of her children. On entering their
bedroom a cry of horror escaped ler
AS she saw the rigid, upright corpse OF
the girl Mollie in the rocking chair,
while her youngest child nestled on the
dead girls breast IN calm repose. The
other two lay on the bed fast asleep.
Mrs. Smith removed the sleeping babe
from the death embrace of the young
servant, and the body was at once laid
out on the floor to await the arrival Of
the Coroner No cause IS assigned for
the sudden death.

The following letters speak for them
selves:
MEMPHIS, October 9, 1888.
Capt. James L. Cleary, Chiefof Fire Department:
DEAR SIR-Appreciating the gallantry
and devotion displayed by yourself and
the noble men under your command at
the disastrous fire last night, to whose
heroic efforts | am indebted for the safety
OF a great deal of my property, / have in
closed 500, which | desire given to your
relief fund, which / send with grateful
heart. Your department deserve and
should receive the thanks of the entire
people of Memphis. You have manifested
in the highest degree our efficiency
within the past two days, and without
your promptness, energy, courage and en-
durance a very large part of the business
portion OF the city would now be in ruins.
deem it not inappropriate to call the
attention of the Legislative Council to the
suggestions which you nave made to them
repeatedly. They should convene imme-
diately and make arrangements to pur-
chase two or more engines, hose and
everything needed by your depart
ment,. n above all, your force
should be increased. As a propertv-
holder, l feel that l nave a right to call
upon Capt. Hadden to move in the matter
at once. This is nc time to stand still, for
no one knows the day, nor the hour, when
we shall again be visited by the fire fiend.
The authorities, in whatever they do, will
be Endorsed by the people. The insur-
ance companies have grown fat and sleek
IN the hard-earned dollars which our
property-holders nave paid into their
Golfers. The great immunity from fires
heretofore, has enabled them to declare
large dividends. / call upon them to come
to Capt. Hadden's a~ssistance-let them adj
vance him all the money he wants, with
out interest, to purchase engines, hose,
etc, to be repaid them as taxes are col
lected. They cannot, should not refuse
this. Again thanking you and your force,
i remain, yours, respectfully,
JOSEPH LENow.
MEMPHIS, October ., 1888.
DEAR SIR-Your's of this day with your
check inclosed for 500 has been received.
In behalf of my department | return NV
sincere thanks, and am glad to know our
labors are appreciated. Our hearts have
been greatly saddened at the immense
losses sustained by our people within the
past forty-eight hours. We have had n
dreadful warning of what may be in store
for us. | am glad you appreciate the sit
uation, and l hope you, and many other
large prop~erty-holders will bring such an
influence to bear on our Legislative Coun-
Gil as to urge them to supply me with
every needed facility to put out fires
then, and not till then, can our force make
a good showing. Every one of the bows
would unite with me in saying, God bless
Capt Lenow.

The Louisville, New Orleans and Texas
railroad, as its official designation is, but
which is better known as the mississippi
Valley" line, has already completed the
greater portion of its road and laid nearly
half its track with steel rails. 1t has at
present a complete line to Baton Rouge, a
distance of eighty-seven miles seventy
miles running north and south from Vicks-
burg and a few miles south from Mem
phis. The road, therefore, consists at pres
II of three lines, with two breaks between
them, one of ia miles between this New
Orleans and Vicksburg, which which
will soon be closed, and another of
loo between Vicksburg and Memphis
but, as work is progressing at four
different points, these breaks can be
bridged within a very short time, giving
us a complete line from New Orleans
to Memphis, a distance of ASP miles, with
Vicksburg about half way between these
two cities.

Instant-The
Gaps in the New Orleans Road Being
Rapidly Closed-Proposed Extension
Of the Georgia Pacific.

The Oxford Miss Falcon proposes the
continuation OF the Georgia Pacific on an
airline from Columbus to Memphis. This
route would include West Point, Houston
and Oxford, passing through d Section of
the State capable of the highest agricultu-
raj development and now greatly in want
OF railroad facilities. Railroads these days
are not built by stock subscriptions along
.ue routes as they once were. They are
the most secure and profitable sources of
interest to large capital investment
now known, and especially so when they
are long trunk lines connecting large and
important commercial centers. The Geor-
gia Pacific is now nearly completed rom
Atlanta to Columbus, a distance of several
hundred miles, and will, of course, seek
important connections further West. The
question is where can those connections
be found. The answer unquestionably
points to Memphis. The numerous rail-
roads terminating there make it a great
center which through lines cannot ignore
or pass by if they would. The Georgia
Pacific will especially seek Memphis as an
outlet, since hat city is the nearest point
from Columbus at which it can reach the
Mississippi river. 1t would thus afford
the most direct line from Kansas City to
Atlanta, and thence to the seacoast at
either Brunswick, Savannah or Charles
ton. a matter of no small consideration
to the stockholders in the Kansas City
road. Besides, long competing roads-for
purely economical easons-are now built
as nearly On right lines as possible. They
cannot afford to 60 out of their way for the
accommodation of small towns or individ-
ual stockholders as was once the rule. In
this fact lest trouble with the Memphis
and Selma railroad ria Holly Springs. If
the Georgia Pacific should ever desire the
franchises of that road-with itsenormous
debt, bankruptcy and prospective litiga-
tion-it could not afford to follow its line
OF survey from Columbus by Aberdeen
and Holly Springs to Memphis. The
course is not direct enough, if no other
objections interviewed. The Georgia Pa
cific will no doubt be soon extended from
Columbus to Memphis, but it will never
be over a new and direct route taking in
West Point, Houston and Oxford on its
way.

The Memphis and Kansas city.

The Kansas City correspondent of the
Springfield Mo- Leader SAYS that the COM
pletion of the Kansas City, Springfield and
Memphis railroad to the latter point lis at
tracing great attention throughout the
Northwest and Southeast sections, hereto
fore as much strangers to each other as
people divided by oceans and deserts. Mr..
L. W. Towne, the general superintendent,
assures me that the road will be opened
to Memphis On the 18th, a week from next
Monday, and regular trains be put on by
the Goth. In regard to the excursion to
Memphis no programme has been an
nounnced and it is a difficult thing to han
die. 1t is impossible for the company to
furnish transportation to all who want to
go. All of Kansas City and a majority OF
all the people in all the towns along the
road want to go. Just how this problem
will be solved is difficult to tell but the
most rational view is to charge at least
half price. That will enable all to go who
really want to and shut~out the hoodlums
who desire a free ride and a free lunch"

OF RESPECT.
The following was read:

Since the last regular session of this
court two of its members-Justices Bled-
soc and ~Gowan-have departed this life.
This is a reminder that death is the COM
mon lot of man that as the flowers come
forth, blossom and fade, so man is born,
reaches his maturity OF usefulness and
honor, and then passes away. As We
honored our deceased brothers in life,
so we mourn them in death. Justice
Bledsoe was a man of marked influence
and usefulness in this court. Courteous
in manner, ready in debate, watchful Of
the best interests of the public, cour
ageous il the ~espousal of what he con-
ceived to be right, and prompt to resist
any encroachments upon the rights of the
| people. he at once became a tower of
strength and a leader of men. Having
filed many positions OF trust and conf
dence without violating either, he died as
he had lived, full OF honors and ripe in
the fruition OF a wellspent life.
Justice Gowan, though only connected
with us for a short period, by his modest
adherence to duty won our respect and az
lection. Therefore we hereby resolve that
We mourn our dead brothers and reverence
their memories. We further resolve that
this memorial be spreadupon the minutes
of this court and that a copy be sent to the
families of the deceased.
