mentary notice OF the club: "We would
direct the attention of owners and trainers
OF race horses to the stakes which will be
run at the spring meeting of the Memphis
Jockey Club, in April next, which are ad-
vertised to close for nominations Friday,
vast importance at Memphis within the
past eighteen months. AS a matter OF
fact, it was one of the first of the Southern
cities which recovered from the effects of
the disastrous civil war and to revive rae
| ing, which had fiourished prior to that
lamentable epoch. The meeting of 1882
was surprise even to its managers for the
success which it met. The surrounding
country emptied its population into the
city, filling it with people who are never
so generous as under the influence of the
festival spirit of race meeting. Hence
the railroads, hotels and all business in
Memphis profited by the influx OF stran-
gers, aud these enterprises have not been
slow to appreciate the fact and subscribe
to the racing fund OF the club. Both the
spring and autumn meetings last season
were marked bygood racing, liberal purses
and large attendances, and already the
| club has taken a position OF prominence
among the jockey clubs of the country"

TRIED FOR HIS LIFE.
The Evidence BEING Taken in the Case
of Frank Lewis.
Charged with BrutaIly Numbering His
Mistress With n Bed-SIat.

In the Criminal Court Yesterday morn
ing Frank Lewis, colored, was put on trial
for the murder of his mistress, Lou Davis
alias Lou Hill, whom he killed with bed
slat at their room, on Desoto street, neal
Beale. The jury are all colored men,
whose names are: Robert Fleece, Cash
Mosby, Alf Froman, jr., K I. Brown, A.
Paine, Phil Gwynn, Harry Wiburn, Peter
Morris, j. NJ. Maddox, Joe DAVIS, l..
Brooks and David Armour. A large crowd
was in attendance-mostlyc colored people.
Considerable laughter was INDUCED in by
the crowd, at the answers of the first wit
ness. Judge Greer announced that if it
occurred again he would have the court
room cleared. In few minutes the crowd
again indulged in hearty laugh so loud
as to interrupt the proceedings of the trial
whereupon the judge ordered the sheriff
to clear the courtroom, and all persons
except the members of the par and officers
OF the court were put out and the door
guarded, when the trial proceeded in the
usual manner, but with few specta-
tors. This is the first time the
Criminal Courtroom was ever clear
ed of the crowd during a trial.
Those who had conducted themselves in
an orderly manner were allowed to re-
main. Maria Evans, a colored woman,
who had a room in the building across
the hall from that in which the murder
occurred, testified that George Pratt and
Frank Lewis entered her room that night
and the latter asked for a stick with
which to open the door OF his room. lie
said it was locked and there was man
with Lou. Pratt and Lewis went out but
LOUIS visitor had departed in the mean
time. In few moments Lewis and Pratt
went back into her room and Pratt in
formed her that Lou was dead. He
picked up lamp and she followed him
into the room, leaving Lewis behind.
Louis eyes were half closed and her mouth
partly opened. She lay in heap on the
side of the bed. Very shortly afterward
Lewis entered the room, and picking up
bed-slat which leaned in the corner said {:
"Give me this slat and if she is not dead
will finish her." Witness told him she
was dead and not to strike her again.
Lewis then said Lou had been killed by
the man who had just left the room.

To the Editors of the Appeal:
JoNEsBoRo, ARK, January 31.-Permit
me to make an explanation of my dispatch
to the APPEAL, of Monday. 1t appears
| was mistaken about the engineers and
firemen of the Texas and St. Louis railroad
having quit work here. 1t now appears
that the trouble was that a portion OF the
engineers We're unwilling to take trains
from this place to Birds Point Mo-, after
night, fearing that a mob might attack the
train. There are number of men living
along the line of the road between here
and Birds Point, who have been working
for the road, and not having been paid
their money they have become desperate
and say if they don't get tEeir money soon
they will tear up all the bridges and take
up the track. Some of these parties being
desperate characters the engineers were
afraid &c take trains asts at night. Enough
men were gotten'up, however, TO carry the
train through and not being molested
there has not been fuithe trouble, and
trains are now moving regularly. Please
publish this explanation in justice to the
company and to the employees. Receiv-
er Woodward passed through this
place yesterday, and he says the employees
will be paid up in full very shortly.

THE FRANCHISE IN ENGLAND.
Its Extension Urgently Demanded by
All Glasses.

LONDON, January 31.-A deputation OF
the Leeds Liberal Conference called upon
Gladstone and submitted resolutions in
favor OF the further extension of the suf-
frage. Gladstone said they would be made
aware of the intention of the government
in few days. 1t would be out of place to
give particulars now. What was wanted
was union in the government itself. 1t
should have a clear apprehension of the
purpose it had in hand, and resolute de-
termination to strive for the attainment of
that purpose. The country should be on
its guard against direct and indirect meth
DDS of opposition. In conclusion, he ex-
pressed the hope that the deputation
would find that the promises held ous by
the various members would not be unful-
filed.
A deputation of Indian residents in Lon
don, many of them brilliantly attired in
their native costumes, presented Glad
stone with birthday address. The pol
| icy of the government in India was eulo-
gized. A suitable reply to the address was
made by Gladstone amid great applause.
Gladstone received o deputation OF
| 250 trades unions delegates. They were
| introduced by Jos. Arch, champion of the
agricultural laborers, and by Broadhurst
| and Burt, Radical members of Parl ament.
| They urged the extension of the county
| franchise. In replying, Gladstone said
their delegation had done much to dispel
| the doubt as to the desire of the people
of England generally for the extension OF
the franchise throughout Great Britain
and Ireland. The government were con-
vinced that the time for action was at
hand. There were no truer supporters of
the rights and claims of all classes in the
country than those called workingmen.
| He was glad the Clyde shipwrights and
| agricultural laborers were so fully repre-
sented by delegates. In conclusion he
said action would presently be taken
which would give effect to the pledges OF
the government, and he urged them to
judge the government accordingly.
In replying to deputation of the metro
| politan Liberal associations, Gladstone
| thanked the deputation for leaving the
government to decide the order in which
the principal measures should be present
| ed to Parliament. The condition OF LON
| don, so far rs regards the municipal and
| local government, was nothing less than
scandaleus. The responsibility for this
rests with the legislature, the powers of
| which were greatly oyerta1ed and could
only accomplish its work by the strenuous
endeavors Of all parties. The government
would do everything in their power to
further the progress of business. He
| urged the deputation to assist Ethe govern
| ment to overcome indirect methods OF re-
sisting the progress of legislation.
