ORovILLE, April 7th.-F. W Miller, pro-
prietor of the Palace restaurant, was bru-
tally murdered in his restaurant about 5
o'clock this morning by some one un-
known. The murder was evidently done
with a narrow bitted Ratchet, very sharp
the right side of the victims face and lead
being all chopped to pieces. There is no
clue yet to the murderer, though several
persons, both white and Chinese have been
arrested on suspicion. The till of the res
taurant was also robbed. Miller was not
dead when found, but was speeches., his
jaws being split wide open, and, although
he got up alone and after the chopping
was done walked some distance, he was
unable to make any sign to indicate the
murderer, and died in about an hour The
town is wild with excitement. No cause
for the murder is known, other than the
presumed one of robbery

LITTLE ROCK TO VICKS-
BURG.

The Memphis & Little Rock Rail-
road and the Grand Pralrles of
Arkansas--The Louisville, New
Orleans g. Texas Railroad and the
Great Valley of the Mississippi~-
Vicksburg.
Special Correspondence Commercial Herald.
VICKsBURG, MISS, Feb. 10, 1886.
The writer in passing through your
beautiful city from Little Rock, Ark,
may be allowed a few notes by the
way. The trip over the Memphis g.
Little Rock road was pleasant in every
way, and that road isnOw in excellent
condition and supplied with all the
modern improvements. 1t has got rid
of the Gould grip and is now ably
managed by Randolph Fink to the
profit of the company and the public
satisfaction.
The grand prairies oVer which this
line passes, and so well remembered by
all who have seen them, are well dotted
over with houses and farms, and these
lands produce oats, corn and fruits
abundantly.
The Railroad Company have sold
most of their grant, but have some left
which they offer at reasonable prices
and on easy terms at their Land Office
in Little Rock.
The trip from Memphis down over
the Louisville, New Orleans & Texas
Railway was a constant surprise at the
unsurpassed wealth Of soil in this. the
grandest valley Of u country. 1t
can be compared to nothing but the
valley of the Nile in Egypt, which
gave glory to the Pharaohs and built
the pyramids.
No wonder that Vicksburg is the
prosperous city that she is, and her
possibilities for the future who can
tell? The opening up Of the L., N. o.
& T. railroad through this magnificent
valley, and through your city, must of
necessity open up agricultural and
commercial prosperity that must ever
increase. This road is but a link in
Huntington's great chain across the
Continent, and SO far eclipses the glory
of the Gould system as the u does
the moon, and is the direct outlet for
the grain and meat of Kansas, and the
Northwest to and through your city to
New Orleans and the markets OF
Europe.
The road is in splendid order, mag
n~ihcently equipped and ably managed.
and is a great benefit to the great
Mississippi Valley and to our common
country. Let the people know what a
country you have here, and let them
come and be happy.

Thief Caught,

Charles Johnson, alias Harry Miles,
was lodged in the city work-house
yesterday, on two substantial charges
of larceny. The facts as related by
the officers and interested parties are
as follows Monday morning Mr.. Ike
Block, a drummer, gave his overcoat
toa porter at the Washington hotel
and took a check for the same. Re-
turning in a short while asked for his
coat, and was told that it vas missing.
A detective was called in and the mat
ter was placed in his hands. About
noon another coat was missing.
The detective found that Sam
Graham, a colored tailor, had
bought a coat from a stranger
for $3.50 and Mr.. Block soon selected
his coat from the number hanging in
Graham's shop, which he said was the
one he had purchased. Yesterday morn
ing two policemen and Mr.. Ben Hume,
under direction from Graham, traced
johnson, who was identified as the
man, into Mrs. Sheehan'S house, on
Washington street, opposite the V. &
M. railroad depot. He was taken to
the work-house where another drum.
mer, who had lost a valise at the V. &
M. depot Monday night, identified him
as the man he had suspicioned as hav-
ing stolen his valise, and identified the
clothing which johnson wore as those
belonging to him and which he had in
his Valise at the time it was stolen
There is no doubt as to Johnson's
identity and that he is a member of a
gang of sneak thieves who are now
making our city headquarters. A
number of cases of petty thieving are
reported daily. and there seems to be
no remedy for it.

Thoaa PrlvIleee Lloenees.

It is said to be an Ill wind that blows
no good. The decision of the supreme
court in the insurance case Monday, a
synopsis of which unpublished in the
Jackson special to this paper yester-
day morning, caused something Of a
sensation in business circles here yes
terday. Early in the day the sheriff's
Office was beseiged by tradesmen of
various grades and classes who were
anxious to increase their privilege Ii
cense so as to make them tally with
their insurance policies. This class
of citizens had paid in an additional
amount of State tax up to four
o'clock of $485, many of them only
having one-third the requisite amount
necessary to make them safe insurance
beneficiaries under the law, according
to the rulings of the supreme court.
A number of persons went forward
and procured their privilege license
who had not been in possession of
them before; and it was a notable fact
that this was the first time the sheriff
of this county has ever seen the bust
ness men of the town anxious to pay
their privilege taxes. A number of
small vendors, who had already pro.
cured their license. were in
quest of information as to whether
it was not necessary for them to
increase the same or not. Insurance
policies generally throughout the city
received an airing and the information
from attorneys was sought by many.
The result of this will be a material
increase in assessments which will re-
dound to the general good of the city,
county and State treasury at the next
gathering of the "tithes."

A Mule Thief,

Levi Elli1 gton stole a valuable mule
on the 24th OF December from Sam
Lawson, a tenant On MI. Jesse Fergu-
sons plantation in this county and
sold it to Mr.. D. w. McBroom, a
farmer and justice Of the peace of the
Afth district of this county. Nothing
was heard Of the mule until yesterday,
when Mr., Ferguson identified it hitch
ed in a wagon in front Of the
courthouse when an investiga-
ton saddled the theft upon Levi FL
lington, and he vas arrested and
placed in the county Jail to await a
hearing. County citizens complain
that there is too much of this thieving
going on, and say they are getting
very tired of it. The city has its share
of thieves and some decisive action
should be taken by the officials to put
a stop to it..

Arrested.

About six months since Arthur
Nightingale, a negro laborer at Mat
tingly, Son & Cos coal docks, was
found in the lake below the elevator.
1t was supposed at the time that he
had struck his head against the side of
the boat in falling, as his skull was
crushed in or injuries shown which
would indicate that such was the re-
suit of his fall and such was accepted
as the version Of it until yesterday,
when Constable Grimes went to the
coal yard and arrested another
laborer by the Name of Charles
Dorsey, on a warrant based
upon an affidavit made by the mother
of Nightingale, charging the said
Charles Dorsey of having killed her
son with an %ax-handle on board of one
Of the barges about four o'clock in the
evening, and having thrown him over
board, then giving the alarm and
stating that he had struck his head
against the barge as he fell. Dorsey

The property of the Bell telephone
monopoly is perfectly enormous. The
New York Times figures it at $50 per
cent. from the local exchanges Of the
company, and says that by the COM
pany's own admission the cost of its
instruments was only $564,000, and the
value of its telephones for the calen-
dar year of 1884. was entered in its
statement Of assets at only $558,319.
Still, upon this investment Of less than
$600.0G0, it demanded and received

rent Of $4,000, 900.

BLOOD BALM Co.: Its a great pleasure to
us to state to you that your B. B. B. takes the
lead Of all purifiers in this country. on account
of the cures 1t has effected since we have hand
led it. We had q case Of scrofuli in our neigh.
bOrhood, Of long standing, VIII had used all
patent medicines which were recommended to
him; besides this, he also had several doctors
attending him, but everything failed to effect
any good. He grew worse every day. and had
not left his bed for the last six months. We had
seen him several times in our little town, though
it has been more than fifteen months since we
last saw him, and we suppose this was the last
time he was fable to CONT TO town, as he lives
about eight miles in the country. His name Is
servenka, and e got a neighbor Of his 70 par-
suade him to try B. B. B. and. after using only
ONE BOTTLE he left his bed for the first time In
six months.
To the present time he has used less than
three bottles, and he is walking around visiting
his friends in the nighborhood. He has gained
strength and flesh rapidly. All scrOfulous sores
are healing finely, and you never saw a happier,
man than he is. Nearly everybody for miles
around has heard Of this wonderful cure, aud all
who need a blood remedy call for the b. B. B.
We had a case Of nasal catarrh in our own
family "a little girl four years old, who has been
using B. b. B. for about two weeks, and already
seems to be about well.
We have only three bottles left, and want you
to ship US six dozen bottles.
We take pleasure in recommending b. B. b.
as a medicine worthy Of the entire conn denco
the public. Its action is more rapid than any
blood remedy we ever handled.
