BISHOP RADEMACHER'S
Visit TO Memphis and Inspection of the
schools, Academies. the Orphan
age and the Refuge.

Bishop Rademacher, the recently con-
secrated Bishop of the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Nashville, OF which this is
part, has been in the city for a week past
making yisitations and performing the
usual functions OF his sacred office in the
many churches, schools and orphan asy-
lums he finds here. He administered the
sacrament OF confirmation on Sunday to
300 children in st. Peters church, on
Monday consecrated the chapel of St
Peters Orphan Asylum, visited the
Home OF the Good Shepherd, and
the academies OF st. Cecilia and St
Agnes, and the churches OF st. Patrick,
st. Bridget, st. Mary and st. Joseph, and
no doubt the schools attached to these
churches The good bishop, on Thursday
visited the Christian Brothers College, on
Adams street, where Brother Maurelian
whom everybody delights to honor, with
his scholars gave him hearty reception
Bishop Rademacher is no doubt surprised
to see his flock in Memphis in so flourish
ing condition, evidencing their loyalty
and devotion to the mother of all Chris
tian Churches by maintaining orphan
and reformatory institutions, free schools
academies and a college, for which
its graduates speak most eloquently. No
where else in his diocese can he find such
marked prosperity nor will it be easy to
match it in any city of the same popula.
ton in the United States. Quietly and
without ostentation but zealously the
priests of the Church have labored to
strengthen it by accessions of faithful men
and women who would learn to love the
work of maintaining schools, churches and
asylums as among the first duties OF good
Christians. The waves of war and
pestilence came to interrupt this
work, but the heroic martyrs who
died at their posts were succeeded by
others who, taking up their cross, have
borne it triumphantly as the bishop
has seen in the institutions and churche,
so creditable to laymen as well as tc
clergymen and brothers. The Catholic:
of Memphis can point with pride to their
work, work in the benefits OF which al
their fellow-citiZens share.

PHILADELPHIA, October 12.-In the
Episcopal Convention report was made

the Whole on the report of the Joint
Committee on the Revision of the Prayer
Book, Judge Sheffey in the chair. After
some discussion the convention took re-
cess.
The Committee on Canons recommended
that the words Protestant Episcopal be
not left out of the canons, and was dis
charged from further consideration of the
matter; it also reported that courts of APP
peal cannot be affected by canons; also,
that they did not deem it eXpedient to
advise any legislation at the present time
on the subject of the organization of re-
hgious bodies.
The proposed canon making a mission
ary bishop diocesan of the diocese formed
from his jurisdiction was referred.
A message from the House of Bishops
informing the Deputies of the amendment
adopted by them in relation to the con-
secration of bishops during the recess of
the General Convention was referred.
L. Bradford Prince, of New Mexico,
offered resolution that the words, "The
Lord is in His holy temple, let all the earth
keep silent before Him." be restored to
the opening sentences in the order for
evening prayer. Referred to Committee
of the Whole on the report of the Com
mittee on the Revision OF the Prayer Book.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT
At Jail Delivery at Birmingham, Ala.
FOiIed by the Jailer's Wife.
One of the Prisoners BADLY Wounded
Policeman Streets Murderer.

Special to the Appeal
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, October PA des-
perate attempt at Jail delivery, which
created great excitement, was made here
at O'Clock tonight. Jailer Hagood at
that time went into the main gallery ad-
joining the cells, as usual to return few
prisoners to their cells who had been al
lowed outside during the day. He had
opened the door of cell in which was
negro named Massie, to put in
three more negroes. Massie and the
three negroes sprang on the jailer,
threw him to the floor, and taking
his pistol and keys from him, opened the
cells and let seventeen prisoners into the
gallery. Meantime the wife OF the jailer
heard the noise and gave a vigorous
alarm. a crowd collected, the first of
whom found one negro with the bunch of
keys trying to unlock the gallery door
with the other prisoners at his back. The
door was opened, and the negro Massie,
crying to his companions to come on, fired
two shots with the jailer's pistol into the
outsiders. The latter returned the fire,
ten shots being fired, and the prisoners
retreated to the cells. Massie was shot in
both arms. The prisoners were finally
secured. Jailer Hagood was badly choked,
but not otherwise hurt.
Detective Clint Lanier, at Huntsville,
received a dispatch FROM the mayor OF
that city to-day that the negro arrested at
Blount Springs yesterday, supposed to be
one of the murderers of Policeman Street,
is not the right man. The detective has
been on the trail of the real murderer
Charlie Adams, all the way down the
North and South road from Decatur. He
has been recognized by the description by
number OF persons along the road, who
gave chase without success. A section
hand near Newcastle caught Adams, and
a desperate fight ensued, in which the
pursuer got the worst of it. This was the
last seen of Adams. He is likely to be
caught, as he was seen near here last
night at y o'clock. Officers are on his
track.
The mayor to-day proclaimed quaran-
tine against the Pensacola navy-yard
Washington and Woolsey, Fla, and Brew
ton, Ala.

THE WEEKS TRADE.
Very Considerable Decline in the
Volume of business.

NEv YORK, October Pr. G.. Dun &
Co.. OF the Mereqntile Agency, report that
the figures availabls show very consid-
cradle decline in the volume Of business
at this point, which is somewhat disap-
pointing in view of the fact that month
OF presumed activity is yet to be antici-
pated. In purchases of general merchan-
disc payments, however, have been very
satisfactory thus far, and the amount OF
goods taken during the season yielded a
fair profit 10 lobbers, though manu-
facturers have not much to show, owing
to excessive production. Lower prices
generally prevailed in the speculative
markets during the week, though cotton
was a little higher in the early part, owing
to reports of damage to the crop. There
seems to be no doubt of very consid-
cradle damage To the crop, though
prices went several points lower
amid good deal OF excitement yesterday
on the strength OF denials that the dam
age was not so great as anticipated. The
condition of the South, however, is so
much improved that even a partial fail
ure can be better borne now than ever
before, and if prices improve as antici-
pated the loss by underproduction will
be somewhat made gp. 1t is clear from the
showipgs made, owing to recent failures,
that lines of credit have become widely eX-
panded, and that IS a rule the volume OF
Indebtedness has und9ly increased. 1t is
believed that the decline in values in the
stock market, and the important failures
which have occurred, and the general
want es confidence that prevails, will al
ford Wholesome check 20 unwlse extern

ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE
Made by an Unfortunate Member of the
Chain-Gang.

\ white man who gave fictitious name
when arrested and was fined S. for some
misdemeanor, and who was sentenced to
serve twenty days on the chain-gang for
failure to pay his fine, made two deliberate
attempts to kill himself by letting out the
blood in his veins. When taken from the
stationhouse to the Jail by Foreman Jewel
he begged to be given morphine. Mr.
Jewel refused to give it to him, and
the man replied: 'If you do not I
will be dead before tomorrow night" He
was not given the drug, in spite of his
threat, but was taken out 10 work on the
chain-gang next day. He went about
gloomily, and worked but very little. That
night he managed to secure bottle some
where, broke it, and was in the act of bar
ing the big veins in his arm when guard
who had been aroused by the
crash, and took the pieces away from him.
The following morning he was taken out
to work again, and during the forenoon
picked up a piece of glass somewhere,
again barred bis arm, and was saving away
frantieally With the sharp edge of the
broken glass when the guard ran to him,
took il from his hand, and staunched the
flow of blood which was squirting out in u
stream over the ground. He was con-
veyed to the stationhouse, and yesterday
managed to get enough money to pay the
balance of his fine and left the city.

PURSUANT to q call by Commissioner
New hirter of this State. n meeting was
held on Thursday in the Louisville Ex-
position building for the purpose OF form
ing permanent Southern Immigration
Association. The following named gentle

Col. A. ]. McWhirter, Commissioner of
Agriculture, Statistics, Mines and Immi-
grafton, Nashville, Tenn; Maj. Z. q.

Union railroad, Lexington, KY; s. t.

Agriculture and Immigration Tor Georgia
ii. W. Wilkes, Florida Information Agent,
and S. II. Nowlin, secretary Arkansas Board
of Commissioners. These gentlemen, sus-
tanned by the official power and authority
of their States and by the press, can do a
great deal TOWARD inducing immigration TO
the South, bat they never can hope to be
successful Hntl they can control large
bodies OF lands, as the Western States do,
and are thus enabled to invite people from
the older States or from Europe TO definite
localities where lands can be had at from
50 to s. per acre. To issue pamphlets
with maps and giving statistics Of growth,
products and population does great deal
OF good, but it cannot accomplish the
work desired unless it is accompanied by
effers of lands at the prices we mention in
localities where all the advantages Of
schools, churches and railroads are to
be had.

The Election.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: Hopeful
Republicans abounded yesterday, and there
were deSpOndent Democrats, but there was
a systematic loss for the Republicans in
many of the rural districts, that could
leave to those able to clear their heads OF
emotional politics but one meaning-the
defeat of the Republican party. judge
Hoadly was one of the last persons to be-
lieve in his own election, and was doubt
ing and questioning, and Il determined ag-
nostic until after gas-lighting. Then came
the cold-blooded Associated Press news,
putting Hoadlys majority at 10000 and
more. 1t was not worth while to work up
fractional returns against such lumpy
dispatch as that. Even Hoadly came out
through the fog of his malaria, and saw
that he had been elected Governor of Ohio
and was a candidate for the Presidency.
What he needs now is to 90 a-fishing
where the ehills and fever are not known,
and read up on the protection Of wool, the
manufacture OF native wine, and the
propagation of Temperance legislation of
graduated kind. In addition to
the Governor, the Democrats have
to accept the responsibility of the
Legislature, and they can repeal the Scott
law and submit few amendments to the
constitution if they please. They are ex-

The great cry about a little wool duty
helped the Democrats some, and the no

its influence in the making dis

voted more heavily than was anticipated
for their own particular ticket, and they
would not put up with reasoning or listen
to remonstfance, but from enthusiasm
they became violently excited, and grew
rapidly intolerant. They have sacrificed
a great good, and have nothing to show
for it. Perhaps they will get the Demo
crats to submit their favorite amendment
to the people the next time.

REINPORCEMEsTS,
The Fire and Police Departments In
creased Four Men Each.

Steps were taken yesterday by the city
government to increase both the Fire and
Police Departments. Chief Davis has in
both his annual reports called the atten-
ton of the City Council to the inadequacy
of the force, dwelling especially on the
increase in population, and in the value of
property, and consequently the increased
risk. ! bill was passed at the last Legis-
lature allowing fhe Council to increase
their pay, and by the charter they have
the right to put on duty one man 10 each
l0eo population. Accordingly, under
this act, Chief Davis was Instructed
yesterday to put four men on, and ap-
pointed b. l.. Basket, A. +. RoaFk, W. {.
Faver and w. j. Kelly. They win go on
duty Monday. The Fire Department is
also to be increased. Chief Cleary was au-
thorized to employ one additional man for
each Of the existing companies. Two
thousand iest II hose were ordered, and
two new fouF-wheeisd hose-carriages, TO
cost SEC or $500 each, win doubtless be
purchased very soon. The depsrtmena
wiz be kept fully up TO its present stand

THE Methodist Church in Canada has
stricken the word "obey" from the mar.
riage service, believing that the woman
should moi promise to be or do any more
than the man does. They are equals, and
should promise and live as equals do in all
the relations of life. 1t is asking enough
of a woman to promise to love and honor
her husband, as he promises to love and
honor her. If they both make it a daily
duty to try and do that, lifelong happi-
ness is sure to follow.
