judging by the numerous bills
presented to the County Court asking
compensation for inquiriDg into the
mental condition of alleged lnnatica,
an alarming amount of inranity seems
to be lurking in this vicinity. But as
justices Of the peace are paid for de-
tecting these cases, II is safe to assume
that they will not permit any snap OF
that sort to get away from them.

brought in the Circuit Court by
Henry Hempel and Frances Hempel,
his wife, for $4,000 damages. The
papers in the case allege that

In an interview with an APPEAL
reporter yesterday, President MADDEN
bhlu iuhJ luhsHuCH NIB Jn6 Nub OOHl-
pany had backed out OF its contrsc
with the city, that other methods OF
| lighting the streets would probably
be considered. Personally he was in
clined to favor the plan OF lighting the
city by electricity, as the expense OF 30
doing would not exceed the amount
appropriated for street lighting pur-
poses. The electric light companies
Of Memphis were together prepared
to furnish $50 arc lights, which would
be amply sufficient for lighting the
streets, aud the quality of the light
furnished is in itself the strongest
argument in it's faver. From the
draft OF President Hsdden's remarks,
the reporter ventures to predict that
the day Is not far distant when all the
streets OF Memphis will be lighted by
electricity.
