BRADEN. TENN.
A White Woman BrutaIIy Murdered
by Negro.
ESPECIAL TO THE APPEAL.l


BRADEN, Tenn December 29.-Satur.
day evening Mrs. Bowman, living near
Lambert, six miles from this place, was
returning to her home on the Patterson
farm, having been to Lambert, making
some purchases for the family. Soon AFTER
leaving the store she was halted in the
public road by a negro, who struck her
several blows with heavy stick, and in
juriDg her so seriously that she died Mon
day evening from the effects of the bows
The brute then robbed her of what money
she had, about SIP, aud fed. The negro
who committed the outrage is ramed
Martin Van Busen, alias Martin NeFar-
land; is ABOUT nineteen years old, weighs
about $50 pounds, copper color, two front
teeth very wide apart.
Mr.. Bowman moved to this county from
New York about twelve months ago, and
purchased about 600 acres of the old Pat
terson farm. The family have proved to
be excellent citizens and enjoyed tie re-
spect of all who knew them. What adds
horror to the crime is that Mrs. Bowman
would soon have been confined. Every
effort will be made to capture the villain,
and it is hoped he will soon be made to
pay the penalty he has so justly earned.

THE RAILROADS.
The Ohio and mississippi Bonds.

BALTIMORE, MD, December pa
meeting Of the bondholders of the Ohio
and Mississippi Railroad Company was
held yesterday, when the committee ap.
pointed on the 22d instant presented re-
port affirming the decision of that meet
ing refusing TO accept 5 per cent. for the
Z per cent. bonds they now hold. The re-
port states that the conclusion reached by
the decision of the courts has been scqui-
eeced in and acted upon by the railroad
company for number of years. Judge
Drummond's decision was rendered in
September, 1879. In April, 1856, more
than two-thirds of the shareholders voted
to mortgage the entire property OF the road
to secure the issue of bonds to pay off its
indebtedness The report concludes by
saying that the committee not advised
"a to whether the railroad will drop the
matter, make another proposition, or take
steps for the trial Of the questions raised,
but suggests that in any event the forma-
tion Of an association of the bondholders
will serve 10 further their interests in
contest with an organized corporation,

TIE FRENCH CRISIS.
The KesiEnatIons of the BrfssOn Minis
try Accepted by President Grevy.
M. De Freycinet Summoned TO Form a
New Cabinet.

PARIS, December 29.-After a short ses-
sion of the Cabinet to-day Premier Brisson
called upon President Grevy and rendered
the resignation of the whole Cabinet. NJ.
Brisson, replying to NJ. Grevy, said he de-
sired to retire from political life for year,
in order to take niucb-needed rest. The
governments majority on the Tonduin
credit was too small, he said, for a stable
government, and the result of the Paris
elections was a further reasoning for re-
signing.
PARLIAMENT CLOSED.
The session OF Parliament was clcsed to-.
day. az
The French Government will send a
permanent agent to Corea in January,
with power to negotiate treaty with that
country.
President Grevy again summoned NJ.
Brisson to-day and strongly urged him to
durate, however. The President then re-
quested M. de Freycinet to form a
Cabinet, the latter promised to give an
swer Tomorrow. 1t is thought probable
that NJ. de Freycinet will accept the
premiership, and that he will hold also the
foreign and national portfolios and will
organize pr.tectorates over Madagascar
and TonQuin. NJ. Ferry had a long con-
ference to-day with NJ. Grevy. President
Grevy finally accepted the designations of
all the ministers.
THE BALLoTIEG FOR PRESIDENT.
In the balloting for President yesterday
M. Brisson received 6S votes, NJ. de Frey
cinet IA, and NJ. Ferry 2. Il is supposed
that M. Brisson's withdrawal from politi-
cal life ls only temporary, and that he re-
tires for the present with the object of in
creasing, eventually, his chances for the
Presidency.
A LIVELY SCENE.
There was lively scene tonight in the
Chamber of Deputies. Several members
charged that an inaccurate record had
had been kept of the votes on the ToDquin
credit. Shouts of "Liar' "Swindlerr'
were raised in all parts of the Chamber.
The official record was voted to be correct.
The uproar was repeated in the lobbies,
and at least two duels are likely to result
from the controversy.

came completely coated with ice. Twice
during the night the steamer was on fire,

done at 8. loes OF only $40 to $S5 for each
entry. But if a mans colts give any
promise whatever he will not draw them,
and that leaves him to the alternative OF
leaving the 500 up and starting, or with.
drawing the lay before the race and stand
ing the $50 forfeit. This loss in the course
! OF season amounts to tremendous sum
Of money. / will state, however, that in
the matter of forfeiturss, in stakes the
facing associations are each year becoming
more liberal. The stable service is quite an
expensive thing also. Take it all through,
and stable will average one boy to each
horee. J had nine hofses in my stable,
and keep my nine boys eleven months
in the year. The foreman; cook and two
head rubbers get $40 a month, and the
others from 80 to ST.. month. They are
all furnished by HE with food, blankets,
etc. A trainer is paid according TO his
experience and ability, some of then, get
ting big wages. Then the expense o.
jockeys is big item. In addition to the
SO for each mount, or $25 for a winner,
the c"storn has grown up until 1t is al
most an unwritten rule to present
OF importance with 500. This is in
addition to any salary he may draw
from the stable for making its mounts es-
pecially. 1t is we'll known that Mr.. Cor
rigan presented Isaac Murphy, the skilled
colored Jock with $500 when he rode the
winner of the American Derby at Chicago
lsst June. This was outside Of the salary
Of 5000 per year that Murphy gets from
him. As the stake paid something like
Sl0,7G0 it will be seen that Mr.. Corrigan
could well afford to pay the sum; but it
only shows that the jockeys are in the
habit of expecting something of this
kind with every important win. An
other heavy item of expense is the cost
of transportation. But l may say it is
not as heavy as some think. When my
nine horses were shipped to Chicago 1
sent them by express in a special car, and
the stable boys accompanied them, the
cost being S75. One of the heavy items,
however, is the transportation of baggage
and the stable outfit to the race track in
wagons, and the feed. This takes con-
siderable outlay. For instance, when hay
can be purchased for SIP it costs about SIG
to lay it down in the stable ready for use.
l consider the carrying OF stable of run
ners about the country is about as expen-
sive as running a circus, and the returns
are not by any means as we'll assured
