instead Of being sent to Memphis, as we
had been informed, ana on last Tuesday
MT. A. Vaccaro, of Memphis, relative OF
deceased, reached here, had the body dis
inferred and transported to Memphis. This
extra trouble and GelIy was CAUSED by the
ineliiciency of the telegraph service. The
railroad authorities here telegraphed to
know what must be done with the body,
exi Getting to receive orders forthwith to
forward it, but the answer was 50 long
delayed, they had buried the remains Ire ore
1t was received. We understand that Mr..
Vaccaro is going to bring suit against the
telegraph company. For awhile Tuesday
1t seemed there would he a complication
Of troubles growing ont of the failure OF
the telegraph company toperiorm its duty.
The stencil arising from the decOmpOsing
body when it was placed in the depot was
so great 1T drove out all of the employees,
and MT. Bee hunted up Justice Baggett
and was about to bring action aga .nst
MI. Vaccaro, before he could be prevailed
upon to have the body removed to less
public place to await the arrival of the
train.
