Mr.. Davitt spoke TO an audience OF

He ssid he had found on his trip a re-
maykable growth Of sympathy with

America eight years ago. MIR. Psrnelfs
aggressive but dignifed policy was the
best way OF CONDUCTING the movement.
Parnell's fight at Westminster has
made it impo sible for English parties

home rule was correct and TO deepen
the sympathy of the American people

the plaps of the National League for

provement Of Ireland when it comes
into power, asserting that they would

A GAMBLING SUIT
On Trial Before Judges Estes of the
Circuit Court.

The case Of BarllifI VS.. Holthofer,
which appeared on the calendar of
the Circuit Court yesterday, has got
into an amusing iangDe. 1t appears
that F. J. Bartlif rstl d his horse and
buggy soma time ago at so much a
chance, and it was won by August
Holthofer and A, Kupterschmidt.
They made a demand for the pr'za, and
to their establishment, so they declare,
Bsrtlih declined TO lelinquieh it. A
suit was the result, The point vas
raised in the Circuit Court, however,
that the rnffle was a gambling trans
action, and that suit could not be sus-
tanned. This view was held by the
Circuit Judge, who declined to give
Holthofer and Kupierschmidt pos
session Of the buggy won by a throw
OF dies.
Under the law, anyone who brings
suit to recover articles won in gambling
may be sued for 800, half Of which
amount, il recovered, goes to the pros.
ecutor, the other half to the State.
Not content with having beaten Holt
hoier aud Kup'erschmidt out OF the
horse and buggy, Bartlif promptly
entered suit against them for $lOO
under the law cited, and the end ia
not yet. The affair having reached the
ears Of Attorney General Peters he
declares his intention to prosecute the
trio for gambling, pure and simple
An effort was made by Bartlif yesler
day to withdraw his suit for the 500
but when Judge Estes learned tina
$50 went to the State he ordered thu
Attorney General to prosecute.

DEMOCRATIC TX
VOTE AND WORK FOR THE

The busin tss in hand today is to
vote for the straight ticket and to work
for it. No appeal is necessary to the
true and reliable Democrats, who, from
8 o'clock this morning to o'clock
this evening, will faithfully perform
their duty. But TO those stay a.
home Democrats who cloee their
business houses and fail to vote UNI

Hay that you are deeply interested in
this contest. Republican triumph te-
day will strengthen them in future
county elections, give them renewed
confidence and make it difficult 10 de-
feat them two years hence. Unless
Democla ats turn out and vote today
the Republicans will electZlch Taylor
to Congress and their entire legis-
latiye ticket. The Democrats know
this as well as we dc. To avert such
a calamity every Democrat within the
corporate limits OF Memphis should
let no consideration interfere with his
duty TO vote. Tie task will not occu-
by ten minutes, and be certainly

support Of the Democratic ticket
which in every comparison that may
be made, leaving psrtiranship out Of

Democrat votes u ticket will be Il
sloriopsly defeated and the Republic
ans will carry Shelby county, which
elected the Democratic tickle
by a majority Of nearly 5OOt
three months ego, and th'
enemy will be given new backbone
in future county elections. This dan
ger can be sveited today and success
secured II every Democrat will do hi
duty. But il will not do for anyor'
TO conclude that his vote will not b.

New York, November 1.-The COu-
rier des Etdts UnS this morning pub
fishes the following special from Paris:
For the last three day s Paris has been
not in France but in America. All
ayes have been turned toward New
York 1t is difficult to describe with
what eagtrness the French people
waited for news Of the inauguration Of
the Statue Of Liberty. They fairly
deyoured the kilograms as they ar
rived, and all the papers published
end commented on them. NJ. Floquet,
President OF the Chamber Of Deputies,
received dispatches from NJ. Spuller
and Dsamons, the Representatives OF
the Chamber in New York, who were
delighted with the reception accorded
them by the American committee, by
the authorities and by the people.
Hers is the language in which the
delegates informed NJ. Flcquor OF the
inauguration ceremonies: "To the
President of the Chamber Of Dspu-
lies: The Statue Of Liberty vas un-
unveiled today With imposing SOL
emnities in the presence OF the
President OF the United States, the
French delegation aud an immenee
concourse of spectators. The Cere-
mony was made the occasion of a
waEm and fervent demonstration in
favor OF Republican France.
SPULLER,
DESM0NS.
It is regarded here that the honor
paid to the sta ne and to Bartholdi ia
an honor paid to the French Repub'
lie. This feeling does not arise from
national vanity it ia the old rational
sympathy finding vent anew. French
men think OF the past aud think Of
the future, and they rejoice over the
new era of friendship which has
opened before the two nations which
Rave SO many Ie7sons for good will
tow ard each other and 30 few for
standing sloof. This sentiment finds
expression on all sides. The details
Of the celebration are awaited with
impotence, but enough is known
already to justify the enthusiasm
which all Frenchmen manifest owe
the event.
The English are furious over thi
international episode. France Laughed
at their fury, which does not in tn,
least interfere with the general salts
faction.

Justice John l.. Graham, co,ored,
was foully assassinatsd last Saturday
night about 7 o'clock, at his home,
near Germantown.
The Justice had just finished laying
a hearth, snd a.ked his wife to hold
the lamp at the door 30 that he could
see how TO get to the woodpile and
gather some chips, with which he pro-
posed to build a fra aud test his work.
He started out and had barely reached
the second step leading down from
the porch when a shot rang out from
the garden a ysrd or two away, and
Justice Graham fell forward on
his face, mortally wounded. This
weapon used by the a ssssin was a
shotgun loaded with buckshot. One
OF the shot struck Graham in the cen.
ter of tie forehegd, another entered
his right eve, aud two others entered
the right temple. He fingered until
last night, when he died in great az
oDy. The identity Of the assassin is
wrapped in my terry. Mrs. Graham
saw a man Jump from the garden into
the road and run away as soon as the
shot was fred, but could not disiin-
guish his features in the dim light Of
the lamp she held in her hand. Grs-
ham was not known TO bave an enemy
who would have taken such vengeance,
though he had in his magisterial ca
pacity offended people, es all public
officials are liable to do. The victim
WAS elected a member of the County
Court in 1882, and had two years tc

The general business accounts are
still OF a cheering character, but there
have been checks that have lightened
the amount OF transactions in some
cases. The late lingering OF warm
weather has delayed the call for win
ter goods, but the "cold wave" that
has visited us this week will probably
bring increased activity. In some
lines holders Of merchandise have de-
manded higher figures imprudently.
Business Is increasing but the recent
depression has left a high degree of
caution at work and the tone OF the
markets is too sensitive not to shrink
from premature advances, The clear
ing house returns on our business
pkge again show a decrease at New
York, IS compared with the CORE
spending week in 1885, Of 1913 per
cent; the entire total shows a decrease
Of b.3 per cent; leaving out New
York, the country generally shows
an increase Of IL per cent. This in
crease is less than has been usual o.
late, but the reason for II shows thai
the smaller increase by no means in
dicatea a business decrease. This will
be evident TO the reader when 1t Is re
membered that at this time Of thu
year the impulse Of reviving trade wa
making itself felt, and clearing hous'
reports were beginning to show more
favorable figures. The comparison
with last year is therefor not nov
against full depression but against re
viving Influences. OF the thirty clear

crease as compared with last year on tn,

A sugar Refinery Shuts DOwn.

ST, LcUs, Mo-, October 3l.--The St.
Louis Sugar Refinery, the largest in
the West, shut down last night and
discharged about l25 Of their en-

with Sandwich Island raw sugar,
which is admitted into The country

not closed permanently, but will start
