Young James Meath Gets ON His Blood

Yesterday afternoon an ARRAY occurred

Some time ago the APPEAL mentioned in a
paragraph a rumor that Mr.. Pat Meath, the
well-known contractor, had had considerable
difficulty with his lsborers. A card subss-

several men, stating simply that they had
not been paid for their labor. Among them
WAS an honest hishman named Johu Kane.
The card was entirely uuobjectionable and
very respectful. Yesterday about 1890

could not withdraw his name, and that he
could not be brought to say that Meath
father had done right; he further said that
he had nothing against young Meath. A
quarrel aross, and Meath called Kane a
liar. Another witness TO the rumpus says
he also called him s. Of b..

Of July, 1881, DIR. G. B. Thornton, president
OF the Memphis Board OF Health, writes as
follows:
One OF the most reassuring CONSIDERATIONS lor

fatal extent curing the past winter, and which, In.
deed, are prevalent every winter and spring In
most of the Northern cities. obtained no perma-

poisons OF these diseases were introduced, ano
doubtless would have been attended with the

tons unsupported by facts. prove nothing. IN
troduce in this connection the following table
taken from the New YORK Sanitary Engineer, OF

The following extract from paper read
by DR.. Thornton, of Memphis, before the
American Public Health Association, at In
dianapolis, Ind, October 10, 1882, en-.
titled "The Negro Mortality of Memphis"
will also prove of interest:
The zymotic diseases which have proven SO fatal
in some more northern localities within the past
few years have contributed very little TO the death
rate of Mem phis, among either whites or negroes,
and now that the city is well severed, paved, and
has good surface and underground drainage, be-
sides being vastly improved in many other re-
spects, there Is substan tial reason to base the
less frequent in occurrence and less fatal in re-
suits. The following table, compiled from the
records of the health office, shows the ten dis
eases credited with the largest number OF deaths
each year in question, and which may be con-
sidered the most constant causts OF death;

NoTE-The decrease in Memphis is about 80 per
cent while in Chicago and Cincinnati it is less
than so per cent and In the other cities there is
an increase instead of a decrease during 1881. as
compared with 1880
During the two years just passed the three
zymotic diseases scarlet fever, measles and diph-
iberia caused only total of "a deaths in Memphis,
which is less than thct OF any city of its size in
the country, North or South There can be no
stronger evidence of an improved sanitary condi,
ton than this, especially when 1t Is considered

AMUSEMENTS.
Friend and Foe.

Last night VIM. J. Seaman appeared at
Leubrie's Theater in BARLEY CampbelPs
Friend and Foe, before large and 10 soms
respects enthusiastic audience. The APPEAL
m AN has seen nearly all the plays written BY
BARLEY Campbell, and most Of the very
mediocre plays of the day, but
he doubts If a more utterly trashy
and imbecile play was ever presented
on the Memphis stage than Friend and Foe.
Mr.. Seaman is a very clever Irish comedian,
but he is seriously handicapped by such a
theatrical miscarriage as the play in which
he appears. Miss Florine Arnold is sweet
and dainty little actress, and the other ladies
are acceptable. The male part of the cast is
fairly acceptable.
