THE FREED FAILURE.
MIR. FREED RELATES THE STORY
TO A REPORTER.
He ExOnerates His st. Louis Com
mission House from Bad
Treatment.

The Freed failure, which created so
much excitement in financial circles
here snd elsewhere, and came very
near causing q panic, is still discussed
on Change. The following, from the
Little Rock Democrat Of yesterday,
will be found interesting:
Yesterday a Gazette reporter ascer-
tanned that Mr.. G. NJ. Freed of Darda-
nellie was in the city, and called on
him. His failure on Saturday was the
business sensa,i ion OF the season in
Arkansas, and public attent.on has
been directed to it all the more partie-
ularly from the causes that led to it.
Mr.. Freed wss found looking quite
baggard and worn. He nevertheless
showed that he was possessed of the
grit that causes a man ID rise under
difficulties. Almost the first words he
laid TO the reporter were:
81 Go not wish newspaper notoriety F;
but | do want 10 say that l expect to
pay dollar for dollar for every cent
that l owe. | am not as cd a man as
l look and have got lots of work left
in me vet. l have children growing
up, and for their sakcs, il nothing else,
l will never rest until l have paid
every dollar"
"Mr. Freed, there has not yet been
published an accurate account Of your
liabilities will you give them TO map
"Yes, sir. | noticed in a paper that
/ owed some ladies about three or four
times what l do, and here is a list Of
the jldgments and attachments up to
the present time"

ST. BRIGID'S FAIR.
Attractive Entertainment ne the
knights of InnisfaiI Hall.

The entertainment and fair now in
progress at the knights Of lnnislail
Hall for the benefit OF st. BriRid's
church, increases in attractiveness
every night, and is visited by throngs
CT ladies aud gentlemen, who express
themselves highly pleased with Prof.
Woodrutfs illustrated lectures and
the volunteer contributions to the pro-
Rramme furnished by local amateurs.
The subject of last nights lecture was
the career OF Gen. Grant in peace and
in war, embracing over 100 Colored
views upon a screen about fifteen feet
tquare. All the pictures were ex.
cellent in design end coloTing, aud
some OF them so pleasing 10 the eye
that an irrepIessible "ah" Of admira-
ton passed from mouth to
mouth in the audience. The
lecture for tonight will be
"Sceues in the Wild West" and
those who desire to see life pictures cf
that lively country should not fail to
attend. Among other features OF the
programme announced for tomorrow
night are an RGrobstic song and dance
by Houlihan and Ward, an Irish liz
by Jerry Sullivan, and selections on
the guitar by Sol Ward.
In constant attendance AZ the vari-
GUS bco.hs of the fair are some Of tue
h%andsomest young ladies' in the city,
who possess the rare virtue on coca
sions OF this kind Of not impoftuning
visitors TO take chances A visitor
may take a chance If he p%leases, but
is not pressed to do 30. If this feature
of the st. Brigid fair were more gen.
orally observed fairs would be more
popular than they have hitherto heen.
The bszlr table, a collection Of val
uablA donations in the way OF obi cts
o. at, fancy work, needlework silver
ware and brio a.brac, which will be-
disposed of by laHl5, is presided over
gracefully by Miss Maggie Holleran,
assisted by the following charming
corps of young ladies: Misses Annie
HolleraU, Celia Winters, Mary 0'Neil,
G,ace 0'Meara, Mary Murray, Katie
Markey, Annie Ryan, jennie Ooyne,
Lizzie Marley, Loretta Byrnes, Maggie
Rice.
Not the least OF the many inviting
features OF the fair ia the refreshment
booth, under the supervision of Mrs.
NJ. Milla'd, who, with the assistance
OF the following-named polite and
hospitably-minded ladies, manage
TO give royal entertainment to all com.
ers: Mrs. A. Carmichael, Mrs. d.
Harvey, Mrs. II. Stanton, Mrs. Kate
Seaman, Miss Mary Mackin and Miss
Mary Dryer.
The fair will be kept up during the
entire week, concluding Saturday
night. The FeSiire Simnel is the name
of a newspaper published by the En-
tertainmept committee and circulated
among the patrons of the fair. IL is e
breezy ard spicy little sheet, under
the editorial charge Of John j. Mason

ANOTHER GAS COMPANY,
Backed ny Eastern Capital, sRId 10
Have Been Formed.

Another gas company is talked Of.
and will unfurl its standard to the
breeze to morrow. 1t is rumored that
E1gtern capitalists are interested in
the scheme, and that they are in a po-
sition 10 deliver gss at ~ % per 1000
cubic feet and make all the money
they want. II has long been n matter
of surprise that Memphis gas con-
eumerf are content TO pay exorbitsnt
prices for gas when q general reduc-
ton In the price has been for months
going on in Northern cities. In Bllti-
more o fight between rival companies
has resulted in R reduction TO 70 cents.
While a similar result is not to be
hoped for here, yet it is tal3 to pre-.
dict that SO or 81 for 1000 cubic feet Of
gas in Memphis will soon be among
the things t0at were.
