THE CORINTH MURDER.
Man Arrested at Austin, Miss, by
PinkerfOp.s Men.

Another man charged with the mur-
der of Express Agent Williams was taken
to Corinth yesterday afternoon. He was
arrested at Austin Miss, and put on board
the train at fernando evening before last,
at about O'Clock. This is the fourth ar
rest made for this crime. The large re-
ward out offers an extra incentive to the
officers OF the law over the country, who
are making the chase a very warmone. 1t
is not known whether the evidence against
the last man arrested is sufficient to con-
Vict him.

Notice..

Having had much complaint from those
who had purchased the KRdbe piano OF
me, and having failed to satisfy them, not
withstanding the great expense and trouble
I was put to in exchanging their defective
knabe pianos for others, that afterward
proved equally unsatisfactory, besides
having had to return to the factory new
pianos which were defective, or TO sell
them at reduced prices, as defective
pianos, i laid these complaints before the
manufacturers. Instead Of remedying
these defects and supporting a FAITHFUL
and PRoNPT-PAYISG agent in his demand
for first-class pianos, when he paid first
class prices, they suddenly withdrew their
agency without notice or any cause what
ever, expressed or implied) fiom an agent
who must have proved TOO discriminating
and exacting a Judge and placed it where
their pianos are not likely to suffer by
comparison with 'betisr pianos for less
money" The above reasons, coupled with
a recent act of bad faith practiced upon
me, their legitimate and authorized agent,
induce me 90 relinquish the agency with
out regret. and / hereby offer to close out
my stock of KIsdbe pianosstill on hand the
best way possible, but without my guar
anteeing them. -,

Now .Jane Eyre"

At Leubrie's Theater last evening
Charlotte Thompsan and troupe opened
an engagement with the new Jane Eyre.
On account of the miserable state of the
weather the audience was small one, but
quite enthusiastic in its praise of the per-
formance. Miss Thompson's reputation
as an actress is well established, and her
manner last night cannot be said to be in
ferior in any particular to that of her best
days. Her knowledge of the stage and its
requirements is perfect, her movements
always graceful and easy, and her acting
at all times pleasing. Her very presence
upon the stage has an influence which is
felt at once. As "Jane Eyre" Miss Thomp-
son is all that one could desire. The sup
port is excellent. George Learock, as the
cynical. Lord Rochester" has tru e
conception of the part and acquitted him
self last evening with considerable credit.
The part of LADY Ingraham was well
taken by Miss Olga Brandon, who pos
sesses all the physical beauty requisite for
the part, and has enough of individuality
to make it interesting. j. l.. Wooderson
acted the mjor dOmo with so much
effect that he was once or twice recalled
The candle-lighting scene was excellently
done. The other roles were very well in
terpreted, and the performance, as whole
was a delightful one. QuecRd, new play

spent another very delightful evening at
the bazar, where number of new fea-
lures were introduced. The stereopticon
views, in charge of Mr.. NJ. T. Garvin, and
the puppet show, managed by Mr.. p. E.

items of the programme. The music, as
usual, was excellent, and the scene in the
bazar was as lively as could have been de-
sired. The cake donated by the Peabody
Hotel is to be voted to the most popular
young lady. The contest is between Misses
Mamie Dwyer, Florence Wesby and Alice
Stoddard. Among new things in the
booths was noticed an excellent portrait of
the Rev. Father Dinahan, in that of Mrs.
J. J. Duffy. 1t is the work of Master Ed
ward Boyle. What promises to be the
most exciting contest of the bazar season
was inaugurated last night, in the shape of
a massive silver service. to be voted to the
most popular local packet. The affair is

by Messrs. l.. =. Cummins. +. Il. Thomas,

Illustrated Correspondence Neao North Vest.
Personal and political differences are the
cause of the Hlll-Teller controversy, which
at present directs public attention to the
Senator from Colorado. Senator Hill charges
Secretary Teller with using the power of his
office to further his political aims and max
ing personal attack upon himself, and with
giving undue privileges in the leases recent
ly granted to Rufus Hatch and others, In the
Yellowstone Park. Senator Hill also claims
the right to be consulted in the matter Of ap.
pointment and removals from Colorado. He
accuses the Secretary with having given re-
porter garbled and distorted account OF q
confidential conversation recently had be-
tween them. He challenges Mr.. Teller to
make, over his own name, the charge that
his (Hill's) election to the Senate was Sc
cured by the corrupt use of money. The
Secretary asserts that the leases are the same
as any one can obtain, and that they were
sanctioned by the law adviser of the depart
ment as within the law. He declines TO an
sver the personal charges Of bis adversary.
Senator Hill was born in Orange county,
N Y, February %, 1882. His father was q
large farmer, and at the age of sixteen, the
boy was left in charge of the paternal estate.
He prepared for college, and in 1858 entered
Brown University, where he devoted himself
to the study of chemistry. In this he
achieved such success, that in 1860, he was
appointed Professor of Chemistry in the
University. In 1864 he was sent by some
Boston capitalists to investigate mining
properties in Colorado. The imperfect
