THE ROAD BUILDERS.
Substance Of the Proposed Law
90 Levy a Highway Tax.

The proposed act to construct, re-
pair or lay turnpike, macsdamiaed and
graded gravel roads, presented before
and earnestly approved BY the mer-
chants at the meeting at the Exchange
yesterday, and which is to be sent 10
our Representatives a. Nashville,
embraces the following points:
A turnpike tax Of 10c on the 500
worth of property throughout the
county and city, and on privileges not
more than one-fourth the amount
levied for county purposes. The rev.
enue thus provided to be used to con-
struct or lay roads in the county in
which it is levied, and the levy to be
made at the same time the County
Court levies the general tax for county
purposes. The tax to be due and to
be collected by the County Trustee al
the same time and in the same way
as other county taxes, the fund to be
kept separate and distinct from other
funds, and to be subject to warrans of
three commissioners, Of which
the Chairman of the County
Court shall be ex-officio
Chairman. The other two Commits
sioners to be free holders, and 70.
members of the County Court, nut
to be chosen BY said Court. One Of
the two not Chairman to be made
Secretary, and 10 receive salary of not
more than $1,000 per annum; the other
two to receive not to exceed $3.50.
The Commissioners not 10 be inter-
ested in any road building contracts
for work or materials. No part of the
tax to be expended within the corpo.
rate limits OF towns or cities, except TO
connect with paved streets, and all to
be expended by the Commissioners on
such highways as in their judgment
will be most conducive to the public
good. The resolutions endorsing the
bill say that not more than two or
three miles of turnpike is to be found
10 Shelby county, and that the cit.
izens Of Memphis feel the
absolute necessity eff improving the
highways OF the county, as for four
months of the business season they are
almost impossible, and in such condi-
tion as to virtually prevent the trans
portation Of supplies toor from depots
in the country. The bill is intended
only for such counties as choose to!
take advantage OF its provisions, and
is obligatory on none, and in all cases
it is left with county courts to say
whether or not this tax shall be lev,
led, or the commissioners appointed
The measure, if it becomes law, and
is applied here, will yield from $25, 900
to $50, 1000 per annum for road builds
ing in Shelby county.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Concert Las, Nirht

A large and very cultivated, as we'll
as fashionable. audisnee greeted the
Kellogg, Brignoli Concert Troupe last
night, and the general expression was
exceedingly favorable to the artists OF
the company. The first part included
piano solo, THE Tamhauser March, "
arranged by List; the Flower Song,
from Faust" by Miss Dickerson,
whose rich contralto voice was greatly
admired; the "Toreadr," from Carmen
sung by Mr.. Gottschalk, the bari
tone, was rendered with excellent eff.
feet, and two selections on the violin
BY Adamoyski. The latter is
great artist and his reception was
extremely Hattering. In the second
part, besides selections from Balfe's
exquisite opera, the Bohemian Girl, {"
several ballads we're INTRODUCED. Miss
Fanny kellogg sang "SuFaDee River"
most charmingly, and aroused much
enthusiasm by the brilliant way she
ran her voice up and down the chro
matte scale in an aria expressly ar.
ranged to test a vocalist's ability.
The lady has a fine soprano voice Of
considerable power, and she under.
stands how to use it with good effect
Miss kellogg has evidently studied
hard to perfect herself, and she made
quite a hit last evening. The
we'll. known tenor, Brignoli, who.
twenty-five years ago. set many people
half wild with his silyery notes, sung
last night with as much power, sweet.
ness and purity as he ever did and it
is al unquestionable fact that Brignoli
can sing whenever he chooses to do SO.
His singing Of You'll Remember
Me" aroused such enthusiasm that
the veteran stepped to the front and
sang a verse from Sullivan's YOno,
Again" after which he gave a verse
Of his fayorite ana ai0ays popular
Good by" and the latter he was
compelled TO repeat. On the whole,
the conceEt Yap ? decided success,
and the entire aEdiepee appeared TO
be well pleased. 1t was over BY ten
O'Clock.

POLICE POINTS.

Of6Cer Brown brought in five prowl
ers last night.
Five dollars in cash was realized
from seventeen cases.
?, Summers, Knight of the Greer
Cloth, was asked to mount his steed
and HE away or pay a fine of$50. He
agreed to HE.
George Bullener was fined $50 to.
day for striking Mr.. johnson, and $40
OF the amount RENTED because the
prisoner was shown to be trihe sbaky
in the upper story.
Pompey johnson, who is no relative
of the hero of PhaIsalia, but had
something to do with blood stained
bootjack and quart Of gin. was given
a twelve days buck at the bluff.
Mack Seaford was seen to write bis
name Nc. Q. Ford, and looked upon
at once With suspicion. He was not
seen to exercise bis talent in any
other direction particularly, and SO
has to face the charge Of vagrancy.
A fellow named G. W. Trace, who
was employed by the Mississippi
authorities to take crazy man to the
asylum, put up with his prisoner at
the statiOnhouse last night, and to
save hotel bill deposited his money,
S23, with the keeper and slept in the
dodgers cell.
Billy Pork took little too much
piety in his'n last night. He made
his couch on the aisle of carelessly
secured church. He was so accus,
toned to going to church, he said to
the Court, that he went there Ivy in
stinct when his burden grew too heavy
for him to carry. He was allowed to
depart in peace with a blessing thrown
IN.
Two young bloods who fought at
the Exposition building the other
night and were fRed for it next morn.
ing, renewed the difficulty yesterday
evening in front Of the Peabody hotel.
They were both arrested, and when
brought before President MADDEN to
day the Judge wanted to know, you
know, if that Exposition ball wasn't
over yet.
The authorities at Helena tele-
graphed Chief Davis last night to re-
lease Monroe Uastell. the bogus
preacher, as his victims would not
pay the expense of taking him back
tor trial, inasmuch as none OF the
stolen property was recovered. Castell
kept his mouth shut when his cell
door was opened, and got away as
quick as he could.
The police are busy renewing their
bonds, not because their bondsmep
have signi6od their intention of with.
drawing, but simply because the Com
mlssioners, in the plentitude Of their
power and mercy, see fit to re appoint
them every year. AS the ROIioe are
appointed during pleasure, and their
bonds given that way and good as long
as they are on the force, the reason for
this is past finding out.
Night before last countYyman
complained to the police that he had
been rOped into q saloon on the corner
of Second aud Monroe streets, and
robbed Of $4l. Chief Davis ordered
the arrest Of John Green and Jock
Eagan, who put up fOrfeits of $50.
The prosecutor did not answer when
his name was called, and the cases
we're continued to next Wednesday
morning:

Several persons had their nerves
stirred and fearfully strained at eight
o'clock last night when the steamer
Kyle turned her whistle loose at the
river, while approaching the landing.
One man declared it to be drove Of
wild beasts swimming the river to
attack the inhabitants, and he wanted

man at the theater thought it was a

quake, and there we're many who this
moment have no idea from whence
the unesrthly sounds emanated.
