THE STORY TOLD BY AN EYEWITNESS :
COURsER s FINE DEFENSE.

l think it was on board this vessel that
heard the following very interesting
story from Capt. (now GEN. Wellington.
who was himself an eyewitness to what
took place. Before the declar alton of
peace this gentleman had been ordered to
proceed with body of artillery on furth-
er voyage up the Tigris. Owing to the
tremendous force ofthe current and the
difficulty of always feeling sure as to the
channel suited to an ocean steamer it was
only possible to proceed during the hours
of daylight. As the shades of night ap-
preached the vessel would be moored in
deep water till the morning. Once, while
thus at rest during very dark night. one
of the artillery horses, through some acct
dent, fell overheard, and was instantly
swept out of sight at speed that render
ed all help to the poor animal quite out
of the question. The first thing IN the
morning, every one vas 9st ss'ioosss SSattss s

w The missing steed, for the country
around was fat and open, and there was
no reason to suppose that the animal, if
he should be fortunate enough to effect a
landing. would wander to any great dis
tance from the bank, where there was
certainly plenty of water and more fodder
than elsewhere. 'sSee!'' exclaimed some
one. ''there he is" Yes he was all right
and grazing contentedly on poor patch
of cultivation which was mixed up In
struggling sort of way with low scrub
jungle. ''Why,'' said another person,
| "there's a pig following him about.''
| On this. telescopes and binoculars were
brought to bear upon the distant scene,
which was nothing more nor less than
horse being stalked by lion! In vain did
the beast Of prey use all its cunning to
advance, under cover of the bushes, to
springing distance. The horse always
seemed to know the whereabouts of his
enemy, whom he invariably foiled by
trotting just at the right moment into the
center of another scanty grain.feld, and
there grazing, with such feelings as only
another horse can describe, for few hui
man beings would think of eating under
these circumstances. At last the lion
judged the time had come, and, with
bound swift as lightning, was seen flying
through the air with a force and precision
that seemed to mean instant death to his
intended victim.
But an artillery charger, trained in the
arts of war and armed with sharp hoofs, is
not so easily to be made minceDmeat of.
A II were delighted to witness the fine de-
Tense made by the courageous courser.
Lashing out vigorously, he received the
lion with such right and left" that the
blows could be heard like the sound of
fail by the people on board the steamer.
Not only did the monarch of the forest
fall crumpled and worsted to the earth.

ARRIVAL OF EX-PRESIDENT JEP.
PERSON DAVIS AT ATLANTA.
NO Such Reception Ever BEFORE
Given Any man by the People
OF Georgia.

ATLANTA, GA, April e0.-The two
special cars that left for Monteo merry
yesterday to bring Jefferson Davis to
Atlanta arrived this afternoon. An
immense crowd greeted him at the
depot. The whole city is beautifully
decorated. At every station along
the route from Montgomery Mr.. Davis
was met by tremendous delega.
iiens, who shouted and cheered
fom tho moment the train
came in sight Until it was
out of hearing. At each station
speeches were made by different mem.
bars Of the Hill Statue Committee
and ex-Confederate Committee. At
several places Mr.. Davis spoke, though
ne was very weak. At Lagrange, Ga,
the committee endeavored to prevent
him from speaking, but he fajd that
he must speak few words there, as it
was the
OLD HOME OF BEN HILL.
The Mayor of Montgomery accom-.
panied the party, and upon their ar
rival they were met by the Hill Statue
Reception Committee snd Gov. Nc
Daniel, and the whole party, au i'd up
roarions cheering, were driyen to the
residence of M. S. B. Hill, whose
guest Mr. Davis will be. The children
of the city, numbering not less than
5000, were in line all the way
from tae depot to Mr.. Hll's residence,
a distance OF over mile, and scat
tered flowers betote the ex-President's

crate veterans followed the carriage to
Mr.. Hills residence. Mr.. Davis was
accompanied by his daughter and
Gen. Gordon and his wife and daugh-
ter.

New York, April so Special tele-

Encouraging a view of general trace
as in the preceding week. At Chicago
and Kansas City there is relatively the
most active demand, but at a number
OF cities, at which an improvement in
the movement of general merchandise
was noted week ago, there is none
now. Purchases at Chicago are still
characterized as for immediate wants
only. There are at least $4,000 en-
ployes on q strike against 43 600 last
week, in addition to those seeking to
enforce the adoption OF the eight-hour
rule. Bradareets finds that at least
$4,000 men at industrial centers are
actively moving to secure fewer hours
of labor dsily. Of this number 5000
are on strike, 80, goo have had demands
granted and los, 900 threaten to strike.
There are 5000 who have not yet &C.
companied their requests with threats

ditiOn of the labor situation is
primarily responsible for the

HELENA, ARK, April 30.-The stu
alton of the inundated district on the
Arkansas side remains unchanged,
with the exception OF the water con-
tinuing to back up and submerge
the country still deeper. The steamer
Belle Pippin made trip to-day to
the Robards plant ton, and brought
in load OF stock and citizens. From
those who came out it was learned
that below the break great damage
has been done by the powerful cur
rent that is sweeping through the

dwelling houses being washed away.
The negroes who came up on the
Pipp'n report that the negroes
on the plantations have already
begun to suffer somewhat for the
necessaries of life. They say that
some of the managers of the planta-
tons stopped issuing rations when
the levees broke, and that those they
had on hand have become exhausted.
The managers Of the plantations were
visited, and Indignantly deny the re-
ports, saying that the hands had been
given their regular quantity OF rations
and that the darkies started the re-
port thinking that the government
might respond, as they did in 1882,
and feed them. This a question, how
ever, that will be promptly attended
TO, and if they

yielding to the desire of the powers,
would not disturb the peace. Conse-

NASHVILLE, TENN.
The Last Day OF the Referees Court
what it Has Accomplished.
ESPECIAL To THE APpEAL.I

AeNANAAh " ~ ~ thAAasN
NASHVILLE, TENN, April 30.-The
Court Of Referees to-day cessed its Ia
bors, expiring by limitation. The
original act creating the Court of Ref
erees provided for a separate court fer
each grand division for the period OF
two years. At the end OF this period,
by legislative enactment, the middle
section was prolonged one year. This
period has just expired. Toe Judges
who have presided are John A. Tin
non, W. G. Caldwell aud W. L. Eakin.
They had found about 100 cases on
the docket and about 500 have been
filed since. They leave about 200
cases on the docket. They have tried
nearly 1000 eases. The difference be-
teen this and the whsle number of
cases represent those which were com.
promised and settled outside of the
court. The at required that a de-
tailed report be filed in each cause,
which necessarily greatly increased
their labors, else the disposition would
have been more rapid. About 80 per
cent Of the causes tried have been
unexcepted to, and, comparatively
speaking, small percentage of those
which went to the higher court have
been reversed.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Referees yesterday filed their
report IN the case nt Thomas S. Mari
vs.. the Western Union Telegraph
Company, involving the liability Of
the defendant Tor the erroneous trans
initial OF night message delivered to
the proper official here, and directed
t. plaintiff 3 agent in New YORK, di.
rectipg the purchase OF 1000 shares of
railro ad stock. Through the negligence
OF the comnany the message az
delivered in New York called for 100
shares instead OF 1000 shares. The
agent bought 100 shares at g. ceats on
the dollar, and could have bought the
remainder Of the order at that price
had the message besn correctly trans
mitted. The remainder was subse-
quently bought at q much higher
rate, owing to the intermediate sd-
vance in the market price. The mes
sage was written on one OF the forms
Of the company, stipu ating on its face
FIR a release from all liability for loss
or damage arising from eny
cause, including the negligence of
the company beyond ten times the
price of transmittal, which was in this
case 80 cents. Mari sued the COM
pany in the Circuit Court, and Judge
Reed. before whom q c case was tried
without q jury, while conceding the
ne lligence Of the company, held the
stipulation in question to he binding
contract in the nature OF liquidated
damages, and accordingly limited
the plaintiff to a recovery
of So. The Referees reversed
Judge Reid, and assimalated the
employment II telegraph company
to that Of a common carrier, and de-
cided that the company could not con.
tract against its own negligence on
grounds of public policy, and fixed
the measure Of their liability upon the
basis Of The actual damages sustained
by Mari, aud not upon the basis OF
damages stipulated for in the illegal
contract. The question YVES a new
one in Tennessee, and was argued at
length and with ability by counsel, F.
q. Maury representing the plaintiff
and J. W. Bonner the company.
