An irish Lads Career.

The history of John Lannon, of Alex.
andria, Va, who recently died, is
worth repeating. He came from Ire
land with his mother when q child,
and early had to work for a living, He
got a, place in the store of Joseph
Broders, who, when the Federal troops
occupied Alexandria in 1861, ran away,
leaving young Lannon, then sixteen
old, in charge. Broders hoped that
the boy would sell the goods in stock
and make an honest return Of the pro-
ceeds, he was therefore much surprised
when he returned at the end Of three
years to find that John had increased
the business, and had on hand a larger
stock of goods than when Broders ran
away, and had made six thousand dol
lars, which he had in bank. The mer-
chant gave young Lannon half of the
money and took him into partnership.
and before he died John had aocumu-
lated one hundred thousand dollars,
built the opera house at Alexan dria,
and the largest wharf there, and was
one of the most respected citizens a
the town.-N 7 Sun.

NO Low BRIDGES.
Is THE SENTIMENT OF THE TWO
EXCHANGES.
Resolutions Against These Impedi-
ments TO Navigation Adopted and
Forwarded TO Washington.

Alta Joint meeting OF the Merchants
aud Cotton Exchanges held in the
rooms yesterday, W. J. Crawford Was
unanimously elected chairman and
Henry Hotter secretary. The chair
man announced the object OF the
meeting to be to take action with ref
eIence to the proposed construction of
low bridges across the Mississippi and
Ohio rivers. On motion OF Mr.. r. Q.
Graves the following resolutions were
adopted and ordered forwarded TO
Senator Harris:
WHEREAS, We, the merchants and
citizens Of Memphis, see from the pub
lie papers that certain parties ara en-
desvoring to bridge the Mississippi
and Ohio rivers with what are termed
low bridges with draw span. Now
we beg leave through you TO protest
against the United States Government
granting charters for such purposes.
Said bridges are an obstruction TO nav.
igaton in all its branches for instance,
towbcat with an ordinary tow OF
barges entering a span OF 200 feet
would have only about thirty or forty
feet TO sTare. Boats with extraordi-
nary tows, such as coal towP, would be
compelled 10 break up their cargo and
take them through in detached por-
tons, A span OF 200 feet with its at
tendant cross current caused by the
proximity OF the piers, and more
especially in windy weather, would
not admit of an ordinary steamer
heavily ladened passing through with
out extraordinary hazard. Again,
suppose you place the draw over the
channel this year and the channel
changes to the other shore,
or even to the next 200
feet span, why the whole river would
be utterly blocked against navigation.
Rats and flatboats, in windy weather
especially, could with difficulty run the
spans. Thus You see that the low
bridge is nuisance and obstruction to
the natural cheap mode of water
transportation and az there is but 10
per cent, difference between low and
high bridge 1t seems to us that the
projectors OF the low bridge system
place very low estimate on the com
merce OF the waters of the United
States.
Resolved, That we earnestly protest
against the erection of any bridge over
the Mississippi River, south OF the
mouth OF the Missouri RIVER, with a
less hight or width than the channel
span Of the present bridge at ~. Louie,
Mo.
There being no further business the
meeting adjourned.

AT THE CLUBHOUSE.
Delightful Entertainment Last
Evening at MOntgOmery Park.

Everything combined to make the
ente tsinment at Montgomery Park
lest night one of the most delightful
which has been given there since the
erection of the clubhouse, which
grows in favor and popularity every
day. The necessity for postponement
en- account OF the rain during the first
three days of the week prevented the
attendance from being as large as
would otherwise have been, but
lite of real enjoyment was lest
on that account. What was lacking
in numbers was more than made up
in congenia'ity. The gathering was
more truly social one than any Of
the formal fashionable events of a
more pIetsn,ious character. The
night was IS delightful as Col.
Montgomery himself could have
des'r red. The stars twinkled in
a cloudlefs sky, and at little before
8 o'clock the moon rosa, bathing the
landscape in a soft light, lending to
the scene a charm lovelier than that
which could be lent TO any stiff gather
ing OF the city by artificial meanF. The
roads were in excellent condition, the
favorite drive being out Union avenue
to McLane, then to Central and out
Central TO the park gate. This route
Is now macadamized nearly all the
way and all the heavy grades have
been cut away. The tally-ho coach
made excellent time, doing the entire
distance in twenty-five minutes. Col.
Montgomery held the reins
and the dozen passengers held
their breath. The coaching party
was the first to arrive on the grounds,
but by Q o'clock dozens of carriages
had discharged their burdens of love.
illness at the clubhouse door, the We
randas were well filed with little So
cial groups, and within dozens OF
dancers wheeled to the music of an
excellent string band. The tinkling
of glasses kept time with the twink
ling OF toes on the sanded floor, and
at II o'clock a light, delicious supper
was spread in the diningroom. The
evening was thoroughly enjoyed by
all who were present, and the success
OF the clubhouse entertainment is
from this time forth assured. Among
the ladies present the following were
noticed:

ON TO BIRMINGHAM.
THE ROUTE OF THE KANSAS
CITY COMPANY.
Another Louisiana CHARACTERIZATION
Georgia Enterprises-Spikes
and Sparks.

A. J. Martin hes been appointed
Tennessee right of way agent for the
Kansas City, Memphis and Birming-
ham road and will begin work at once
at this end Of the line. A big batch
OF abstracts have already been ordered
and it is stat I'd that tue contract for
that portion Of the road between
Memphis and the Illinois Central will
be let as soon as Captain Grant re-
turns. He is expected the first of
next week. The permanent survey
places the right OF way in the south
eastern suburbs, adjoining the Mem
phis, Birmingham and Atlantic right
OF way, which it parallels to a point
about two miles beyond McGee's sta
ton. Then it branches off to the
southwark. AS stated by the APPEAL
a day or two since a contract has al
ready been let for eight miles on the
Birmingham end. There will be very
little difficult work for that distance,
but from that point on the line passes
through a rugged country through
which the cost 10 many places will be
$4,000 a mile. The course pursued
is suth that at any time until il
passes a point sixty miles this side Of
Kansas City a Joining with the Mem
phis, Birmingham and Atlantic will
be easy and natural.

ENJOINED FROM SHOUTING.
A & IOred Church at Dallas, Tex ,
All Broken Up.

DALLAS, TEX, June 16-The Dis
trict Court for two days has been the
scene OF excitement and tumult. An
order OF injunction was sought in or
der 10 restrain the colored Antioch
Baptist church members from SHOUT
ing, screaming and yelling at the top
OF their voices, and running up and
down the floor, and jumping up and
down on the same" The whole
neighborhood about the church, white
and cOlored people alike, poured q
volley OF stories about diabolical noises
and scenes into the judges ear. The
Court has been wrestling with the case
diligently, and to-day granted the in
junction OF restraint in the following
language;
"The constitution guarantees per-
feet freedom OF conscience. No court
OF law can dictate how q man shall
worship, but the exercise OF that right
NUT not interfere with the rights Of
another. A man has the right to en-
Joy, but not TO iniure; the right to
maintain, but not to tresPas5. Shout
ing in religious worship may be mat
ter Of conscience, but Il does not get
beyond State regulations by reason Of
that. l do not think that noise is a
part OF religion, but may not be
good Judge OF that. 1t seems to me
to be only the result Of emotional ex.
element, such as may be found at
conventions or theates. 1t may or
may not be necessary in religion, but
it can also be 3 nuifance. A man has
a right to shout IS long and as loudly
as he pleases, provided he does 1t
where he will not disturb others.
Sleep is essential, and to rob man OF
sleep is as much an infringement Of
his rights as If he were robbed OF his
chattels. The order Of the Court is
that upon petitioners giving bond in
the sum OF $500 the Clerk OF the
Court will issue a writ Of injunction,
restraining the defendants from dis
turbing petitioners or permitting same
in said church, by loud aud unusual
or unreasonable noise"

with the Vance street Stars Monday
next. Elicit and Rogers will be the
battery for the Shelby streets.
The manner in which Purcell,
Lyons, Stricken and Mappes acted with
the bat yesterday convincGs us that
they are uublushing toughs and that
it would be to the interes's Of all clIbs
that visit Atlanta TO insist upon their
release. The way they knocked the
ball about yesterday was a shameful
breach of hospitality and cannot DO
TOO severely condemned.
A DISPATCH from Cincinnati states
that the Enquirer this morning devotes
two columns Of it's tiret page to an arti-
Gle charging five players OF ths Gin
cinnati has ball club with Throwing
games The only player against
whom direct evidence is offered is
Tony Mullane, one of the pitchers OF
the team. In support Of the charges
two afiidayits are presented.
In the fourth inning yesterday
Mappes got to first on,s hit to third,
stole second, and scored on Phelan's
failure to stop a ball thrown by
Broughton. The Atlanta tcorer
thought Phelsn ought to have at
least stopped it. II was low ball,
and passed through his legs. Phe'au
never fails to do that sort of thing
when the chance offers itself,
and it is becoming tiIesome to
hear OF il. We fear that old man
Phelan is behind the age and cant
keep up with the boys nowadays.
He hits the ball sometimes and runs
bases well, but all that doesn't COM
