MANNING AND CHALMERS.

AN INTERVIEW WITH THE FORMER, IN
WHICH HE EXPRESSES HIMSELF IN PLAIN
LANGUAGE.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-Ex-Congressms
Manning, whose claim to 3 seat in the next
House is disputed by Gen. Chalmers, was in
the city day or two ago on some personal
business. He has not much affection for
Gen. Chalmers. The terms in which he
speaks Of him and his supporters are any
thing but complimentary. "Rene-
gades," political adyenturers," "political
outlaws" "corrup,ionists," and other
like epithets testify his opinion
OF Chalmers and those who support him.
Chalmers, he saws, has forfeited and lost the
respect OF everyone in both political parties,
except few desperate characters in the
Republican party, who think they may yet
retain their hold upon Office by the aid of
such treachery as that of Chalmers.
does Gen. Chalmers still expect to preps
his claim to the seat in the next Congress?"
your correspondent asked him.
81 suppose so; he is siill actiog as special
assistant district attorney in his own case,
appointed for that purpose by the Attorney
General. Pretty state of sffsirs, isn't il, that
m an should be appointed district attorney
TO draw salary to spend in bosteriDg
up his own claim TO q seat IN Congress, es
pSCtdllN 81 when Clhim IL DaeSu
on fraud encouraged aud made possible by
the Republican leaders? II was only by the
use of large sums of money, which they seut
there, that he was able 10 lay claim to the
seat"
"Nhat do you think will be The result IS
to the posi ion itself?"
81 don't think there is much doubt about
my success. If civil service reform means
anything it means that the interference with
elections by government officials, by the use
of money or otherwise, will not be couute-
nsnced. The Republican party processes TO
be very anxious to see the civil service bill
law, and tried to take the credit of it 10
themselves so far as possible. Now let
them practice its principles"
seen. Chalmers is still acting az assistant
district attorney in his own case, then?"
"Yes. A remarkable performance, isn't it?
And this old-well, the Encouragement,
when questioned iboui it, justified the course
by the remark that this has been the custom
in similar cases."
Il is not beyo ond the range of probability
that Gen Crook may wind up bis little jaunt
into Mexico with a court.martial. At any
rate, the department has washed its hands OF
him, and he is going ahead upon his per-
sonal responsibility.

A NEW RACE TRACK
To be Located ON the Bank of the River,
Near Jackson's Mound.

The AAPPEAL is informed that the Memphis
Jockey Club will locate the new rsce course
Immediately on the river bank, at come point
south of and contiguous to the city railroad.
1t will be convenient of access by every
means of conveyance. This is one of the
best locations that could have been selected,
not only for a race course with all its appli-
ances, but for picnic grounds and place of
general pleasure resort, especially dur
ing the spring and summer months,
when people most desire to escspe
the heat and dust of the city. The river
view from that point is unsurpassed in beauty
by almost any other locality in the Souts,
while the facilities for reaching il are greater
tnan can be found elsewhere in the neigh
borhood Of the city. -Four lines of railway
will have their union depot near by; the
street-cars will be run to the very place,
while barges, steamboats, and other water
craft can reach it by the river. lighthouses
can be built at the waters edge in it's front,
and yachting and boating clubs will soon be
organized, which will give it additional at
traction. 1t would not only yield an in
come 10 the proprieiors during the racing
seaeon, but all the year round, while it will
furnish suburban pleasure resort such as

TERRIFIC CYCLONE
In the y elzfgh and wyoming Valleys
heavy Storm at Chicago.

, EAsToN, May 9.-Passengers state that the
hurricane which visited Lehigh and Wye
ming valleys last evening was the severest
ever known. In eastern Pennsylvania, be-
tween Pennhaven and Hszslton, the trees in
the woods, for a distance of 1000 feet, were
moved down like grass. The wind and rain
beat 80 hard against the windows of the cars
that the passengers had to place the cushions
OF the seata against them to prevent them
from being blown in. The engineer of one
train, to avoid wreck by falling trees, re-
duced the speed to coal-train time. At
Gould's siding, near Whitehave the engine
of passenger train was struck by falling
telegraph pole and damaged. The same pole
struck a passenger car, making splinters Of
its front. About the same time a tree fell
and broke the windows on the right side,
alarming the passengers. All this occurred
while the train was running at full speed.
A short distance below, the trainmen had
removed two telegraph poles that lay across
the track. Near Rockport, a rock weighing
thirty tons rolled from the hillside and lodged
ON the track. The wstchman saw it in Tins
to stop the trains going either way. Near
Honey Creek Station, four freight cars of a
moving Lehigh Valley train were overturned.

PHIL THOMPsoN's TRIAL.
A Jury Secured and the Case opened
The FeeIfog Against Jessie

HARRoDsBURG, KY, May 9.-When the
twelve jurors were accepted and about 10 be
sworn, counsel for the prosecution asked
that the jury be sent out of the courtroom
while he made a statement. The jury re-
tired, and the counsel stated that he had
sscertained since the acceptance of the jury
that one OF the number, Theodore Banto,
was under indictment in this court for shoot
ing with intent to kill, and be asked that he
be excused from serving on the jury. After
hearing the argument the Court granted the
request. The defense noted exception to
the ruling. Another Juror was accepted.
The Hon. Phil 3. Thompson, jr., defendant,
was arraigned, and pleaded not guilty. The
statement OF the Gaze was made by counsel
for the prosecution.

ing. One gentleman said yesterday, prefsc.
ing the remark with great B. G.: "If she
were man l verify believe she would be
hanged before sundown, for there is no doubt
only thing that saves her is her sex, which
we have all learned TO respect"
The sentiment of the community is rapidly
undergoing change, and the plea that
Walter III. Davis was innocent of the crime
for the alleged cosmittal of which he was
slain is taking fast hold on the minds OF
many, who, ss time passes, are growing
bolder in their expressions. With his fellow
townsmen, Phil Thempson's chief mistake
Lies in the fact that he killed Walter II.
Davis on the strength of information re-
ceived from Jessie Buckner, preierring her
smoothly worded assertions 10 the word OF
bis own vile, TO whom, indeed, it is reported,
be utterly refused 10 listen. A few days
only before the dreadful affair occurred
Phil Thompson, ST., was standing on the
street engaged IN conversation with Mr..
james III. Moore. president of the Mercer
County National Bank. The talk turned to-
ward the reported scandal in which his sons
wife was implicated, and the colonel said,
with much ferver, that there was not one
werd OF truth in the story, and that if it were
true little Phil would not be necesstated to
come home to kill any body. Mr.. Jerry R.
Morton, OF Lexington, one of the brightest
criminal lawyers in the Stale, has been en-
gsged as assistant counsel for the defense
iu this case. The defendant is anxious
for an immediate trial. Said a gentleman
yesterday: 'Do you know the reason he's so
anxious for trial? think he feels little
shaky, and is anxious, if convicted, to have
sentence passed upon him during Black
burns term of office, inssmuch as it is be-
lieved that the governor will pardon him.
On The contrary, 1 think" he continued,
lowering his voice, shat the prosecution
will try to get it continued until next fall, for
Blackburn's term, yeu know, expires on the
9th of September"
