THERE is one church in Memphis
out Of debt or virtually so al least, and
its members and friends are CORES
spondingly happy, The officers Of the
Strangers church received yesterday
from the Congregational Union in
New York contribution and long
time loan without interest; a sum Of
money which pays off the last dollar
Of Indebtedness incurred in the en-
largement Of the church. The mems
bership ofthe church is small although
the attendance is large and its friends
on the outside have been very liberal.
MeD have voluntarily contributed to
its support who do not attend any
church. The bulk Of the debt has
been carried in bank by Major W.
Holder Berry, DR.. Ed D. Mitchell,
two active and useful officers Of the
church. They are now relieved of this
burden as we'll as the church and con-
gregation and the Strangers starts in
for another year under very encourag-
ging circumstances. Il takes work
and business management to run a
church as well as anything else and
those who determine to pay as they go
after once fairly started as this one is,
generally get along the best, The
Scriptural injunction; "0we no man,
but serve the Lord" applies to
churches as well as church members
and other individuals.

A Splendid Railroad Project TO
Connect West and East
Tennessee.

The Nashville papers are devOing
much time and energy to the building OF
the Green River railroad, which is to give
them new field for commerce. This
opens up fine scope of country for that
city, it Is true, and will give it some very
desirable connections. We have now and
then read with interest what the Nashville
papers have said, also about a proposed
connection with East Tennessee by the
extension Of the new road built 10 Leban.
on throuSh the mountains. To our mind
Nashville will find the building Of this
road Of intellectually more importance TO
her than the Green River road. This is a
favorite project Of Colonel Il. w. Cole,
who has built some Of the most important
roads in the South. East of Lebanon and
between that point and the Cumberland
mountains is a section Of the State which
has no railroad outlet 1t is rich in
timber and mineral products, From
Lebanon to Kismet, q distance of sixty
miles is all that would have to be built In
connecting Knoxville and Nashville. At
Kismet the mountain is pierced by the
Cincinnati road. There is every reason
to believe that Cincinnati will then build
the remaining forty miles, This will
open up to Nashville the whole of East
Tennessee with her cheap Goals and iron,
what the Nashville editors covet for
Nashvilles use. The line Of traffic be-
tween Memphis and the great Eastern
markets which finds its way through
Chattanooga would thus be changed by
Nashville Us a more direct route. 1t will
place Nashville one hundred miles nearer
Norfolk, Baltimore and all points East Of
these than she is now
1t will save East Tennessee one hun
bred miles every time she wants to make
little trip West. II will unite two sec
tions of great State which are ~ each
other as strangers, not only in traffic, but
in the halls Of their common Legislature

WAS WHISKY
A Well known Detective and
Witness ia the Tiffany Case
Die In Tucson, Arizona,

SAE Francisco, October "a Tucson
Arizona letter to DIR. Gregory, OF Guag-
maso, says; Ten days ago two men ar.
rived here. They seemed 10 be on some
secret business -Four days after both
suddenly died, apparently from the effect
of drink. They refused to give their
names. Both had plenty Of money.
They arrived by way Of Altar, and said
they had been on the road several days
before reaching this place, The only clue
10 the men is that one called the other
Billy, who looked like an Englishman.
He had light compile xion and was about
sixty years Of age
This confirms the report circulated on
the streets yesterday Of the death Of VIM.
Justice, who is a well known in detective
circles as having spirited away George
Smeardon, prominent witness IN the
Tiffany cases, 70 Altar. The description
of the above men given Gregory answers
exactly 10 Smeardon and Eustice. As
far rs SmeardOn IS concerned whisky
never could have been the direct cause Of
his death. Yellow fever has probably
settled Tilany's case forever II appears
that they left here and went 10 Altar on
horseback then TO Hcrmasilla They are
reported rs having plenty Of money. As
Smeardon had no money here, and Eustice
was not particularly wealthy, it IS II
curious question where they got their coin,

The report that Chief Ju was
drowned on the Dist Of September
while drunk, lacks confirmation. If
however, it turns out that he was
drowned while drunk it will prove
that whisky or mescal, or whatever il
was that he drank, may be a blessing
to mankind the same as gun powder,
when properly used. Old Ju was a
bold, bad man, and the world will be
better off when it is known that he is
gone. His operations along the iron.
tier has caused great trouble on both
sides. The Mexicans have made many
attempts TO capture or kill him, as
they did Victoria a few years ago, but
thus far have failed. His band is
only small one, a fragment of Veto
ria's forces, but it is ubiquitous and
powerful for deviltry. .lr

The Woman That is BOtheriOS
senator sharon.

When we knew Miss Sarah Althea Hill,
the young lady who is making the life OF
ex-senator Sharon, Of California, some
thing more exciting than "a DID barren
ideality,N she was handsome,blonde- OF
Cape Girlrdeau, Mo, where She was bsfn
and reared, a little above the medinm
heighth Of woman, with handsome face,
shapely figure that swayed gracefully
when in motion, not overly stocked with
brains, shallow in conversation, and ex-
ceedingly vain as are most girls who
know that they possess more than the
common share Of beauty. Her hair
was the color of ripe corn in
the sun, her foot small, shapely and
daintily arched. She was descended
from an old Creole family, and was proud
Of her blood. In the summer of 1863
she and her brother went TO San Fran
cisco, where they had relatives, and have
both succeeded in creating matrimonial
sensations out on the slope" II seems
that Miss Allies marriage with the old
Gold Bug was civil contract, I'M
blessed by the church, but perfectly legal.
She is now thirty-three years ofago.
The above is reliable; it comes from
the pen Of Wallace Gruelle, an ac-
cOmplished journalist, now editor Of
the Breckenridge News, published
at ClOverpOrt, Ky. Years ago he was
on the staff of the Louisville Journal,
Democrat and Courier at different
times. Afterward, for several years,
he published paper at Cape Girar-
deau, Mo-, where he saw the fair
blonde who now makes the life of an
ex-senator a burden.

POSTAL AFFAIRS.
Persons Misled by the Changed
Rate OF POstage-rhe Postal
Notes Convenient for the Black
List Firms tla
Special to the courier-JOurnal.

WAsHINaToN, October 4.-As was t
be expected many persons have con.
fused idea of the postal changes, and, II
consequence, make awkward mistakes
Hundreds Of foreign letters have beer
posted with merely the two cent stamp
under the impression that the reduction
applied to foreign as well as domestic
postage, and many local letters are dis.
patched with one cent stamp with
the understanding that the re-
duction Of one cent in the rate
included all classes of postage. The latter
mistake is not an unreasonable one, as To-
cal postal always has been and should b.
lower than the lower rates.
II Is said by officers Of the postofIice de-
partment that the new postal notes arc
proving a great convenience TO lottery
companies and to the many firms and cor
poratons throughout the country which
have been black listed by the department
and denied the privileges Of the money
order and registry system. These COM
panies and firms are now having remit
tances made to them in postal notes which
are payable TO the bearer and which do
not come within the scope Of the depart
ments orders forbidding the payment OF
money orders to certain persons and firms.
