the association, as the result
Of the friendly feeling engendered by
the fact that both were employed in
the same family. Della, when ques-
toned, said that although Gibson was
black he was good man. Michael
Farrell finally informed his sister that
she must cease her association with
Gibson. Gibson was also warned by
young Farrell that there would be
trouble if he continued his sttent ous
10 Della, and he promised 10 take the
Young mans advice and let the girl
alone. Subsequent developments in
dictate that plans were made for
speedy marriage and flight. 1t is
said that on Mondav night the negro
applied to Father Nassalo at Summit,
and asked him to perform the mar
rage ceremony. The clergyman re-
fused, and advised them to give up
their project, as 40 happiness could
result from such a union. The couple
left, and that night they disappeared
from Summit. Young Farrell at once
started in pursuit. As Gibson had
friends in Newark, Farrell fiut went
to that place, but after a thorough
search he was. obliged to return TO
Summit. He notified the Newark
authorities to be on the lookout for
the pair, and to send word to Summit
If they were found. 1t is thought

AGAIN ENDORSED.
The Brownsville "Bee'' for PheIRn
for Congress.

Brownsville Bee: "The coming man
for Congress in the Memphis district
is James Phelan. The APPEAL OF Sum
day pays him high compliment in
saying that he is the most available
Democratic candidate in the district.
He is Democrat by blood and con.
viction,' continues the APPEAL, and
Looks at questions from their real side.
He rides no hobbies. He regards a
public man as a public servant. A
man to lead with frmness and obey
honestly. The peoples interests would
he sate in such mans hands. He
would try to rise 10 an equality with
their wishes, aud above al things TO
b. equal in every instance to his
own standard of excellence, very
much higher than the average The
States and Bee Endorses every line OF
what the APPEAL says, and, further,
tina! the Democracy, outside OF the
Memphis district, are looking to Mr..
Pnelan u redeem the district. They
believe be possesses the necessary ele-
ments OF strength to defeat the best
man the Republicans could put for
ward. We are glad, therefore, to see
public sentiment centering upon him
as the most available man, and we
hope when the time comes that the
Democracy OF the Tenth District will
act in perfect harmony in nominating
him."

ST. VALENTINES DAY.
Some of the Beauties True Lovers
Will Send Their SweetheRrts,

"How is the valentine trade?" asked
an APPEAL reporter yesterday CT Mans
ford, who was engaged at the moment
in arranging a number c t satin-painted
affairs in glass case.
"The weather has had some effect
upon it," he said, "but very little.
Tomorrow is the day, you know,
when they must be delivered, and the
sales have been very brisk all day."
Glow are the styles as compared
with last year%
Like Christmas cards, it seems to
me they grow handsomer every sea-
son. The variety this year is infinite.
You have no ides what an industry
the manufacture of valentines has be-
come. While the sales of the cheap,
comic affairs are very large, great
maryland not altogether the sickly,
sentimental sort, either-purchase
something like this which is really a
work of art and quite an ornament
for ones dressing case, mantel or CEN
tire table or the psrlor wall"
The valentine alluded to was made
Of plush, with Stars of white satin, an
exquisite landscape being painted by
hand upon the satin center.
"Here are several others equally as
handsome" he said, exhibiting a
lovely white satin affair cornered with
light blue plush, decorated with brill
liant birds, and bearing the motto, IN
german silver, "Token of Love-" An.
other in light pink plush aad satin,
hand-painted, had an oak tree, from
whose branches hung basket filled
with violets.
One OF the most expensive in the lot
was in white satin, covered with
light blue plush, and bore the motto
in beautiful flowers, Forget Not the
Sender" surrounded with white
swans down, with nine white doves
in different positions. A motto tina
struck the reporters fancy most wa

REORGANIZATION of the ERst TennCs-

Mr.. Henry Fink, receiver OF the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad, who arrived in the city yes
terday, says that the plans for reor-
gauization hal been made, but the
read would remain in the hands of a
receiver until matters were settled in
court next July, and the reorganiza-
ton would probably not go into effect
before November. He denied the re-
port that A. Pope had been appointed
Superintendent Ogden's successor.

Shall we not hope that Memphis Will follow
the example Of Atlanta?
We all know that the manufacture and use
of alcoholic drinks is the greatest evil of the
country; that the traffic enslaves women,
wrecks manhood, Injuries publ ic and private
service, peoples prisons, breeds paupers and
criminals, and thereby imposes enormous
burdens Of taxation; destroys capital and
ruinslabOr, and prevents many man from
having a good home of his own.
Knowing this, shsll we not all unite and
try to secure for the state of Tennessee the

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.,

Now that the CULLoM interstate COM
merce bill has passed the senate, it may be
relied upon to pass the house and become a
law. 1t must be admitted that there is a
very strong public sentiment in support of
the measure or it would never have passed
the senate. This fact will have its weight
in inducing the president to give his assent
to the measure, if he is not already favor
able to it. 1t will be the first expert
ment of the general government
in an attempt to regulate rail-
road transportation, and the results will
be watched with interest. If the provisions
are strictly enforced it will produce a revo-
luton in the transportation business of the
country. But whether or not the change
produced by it will be public benefit re-
mains to be tested. There are so many
ways of whipping the devil around the
stump that it is not altogether impossible the
measure may be perverted so as to be of
more ben eft to the railroads than to the
shippers. At all events the people are
likely to have chance to test its merits
and prove to their satisfaction what benefits
are to be derived from it.

CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE.

The blood of the little children who per-
ished in the wreck Of the Lathrop school
building rests upon the heads of the Kan
sas City authorities. The authorities are
not responsible for the cyclone which de-
stroyed the building, it is true, but they are
responsible for permitting it to be daily Oc-
cupied by a hundred children after the
building had been condemned and pro-
nounced unsafe. 1t was the groSSeSt GRIM
inal negligence, which should be visited
with the severest punishment that the law
infllcts. The Missouri state authorities
will be equally culpable if they permit the
Kansas City municipal authorities to escape
the punishment that is due them. There
is altogether too much negligence in the
matter of school buildings, anyway. 1t is
too often the case that proper attention is
not paid to the construction of school
houses. Like all other public buildings
that are let out to contract, with nobody in
particular to look after their construction,
they generally 60 up in the lick and a prom
Use way An evidence of this is found in
the wind storms which so frequently prevail
in the Western country. If there is a school
house in the track of the storm it is sure to
go down, even when every other building
stands up against its fury. Now that there
is proper opportunity to do so, it is alto
gether right that an example should be
made of the Kansas City officials that would
be warning in the future to those who
have the oversight of school buildings.

KANSAS C1TY,s VISITATION,

It seems that while the storm which
visited Kansas City and the adjacent coun-
tgy was rather more of hurricane than a
cyclone, it was of sufficient violence to
almost deserve classification as of the
latter order, even though the inevitable
funnel-shaped cloud was absent. But
there is even more than possibility that
the loss of life in Kansas City was not due
to the storms violence alone. Buildings of a
substantial character suffered no damage
whatever from the storm, while in the
Sank Rapids cyclone the contrary was the
case. To one acquainted with the flimsv
character of many of the buildings erected
of late years in Kansas City, the only
wonder will be that the loss of life and de-
struction of property should be so eompar-
atively small. No doubt this extremely
unsubstantal kind of building is a
consequence of Kansas City's rapid growth.
but there is no reason for it. 1t is not ONLY
foolish, but criminal, as the storms ter
rible work at the LATHRoP school, which
had already been condemned, well proved.
A city, no matter if it is increasing rapidly,
can just as WELL and certainly with more
economy, be built of good materials. in a
workmanlike manner, as thrown together in a
haphazard manner IN order to secure a
larger immediate profit. The lesson taught
Kansas City is severe one. 1t should not
be lost upon other Western towns and cities
which lie open to the suspicion of flimsi-
ness in their building operations.

GREEN-EYED pREAcHEPs

That branch of the Methodist church to
which SAM JONES belongs. and in which
he is recorded as a preacher in good stand
ing, at a recent conference adopted a reso-
luton expressing doubt as to the orthodox
character of the noted evangelists revival
work, and appointed committee to inouire
into the matter. During the discussion
which preceded the vote On the resolution
the opinion was strongly expressed that
the free lance revival methods of
the RevS. JONES and SMALL were
not in accord with the dignity
of regular church discipline and they ought
to be checked in their headlong course of
saving souls. This is rather a peculiar
position for church conference to take
and more particularly Methodist organiza-
ton which owes its marvellous growth and
prosperity very largely to the pioneer spirit
which SAM JONES displays. The IVES
LEYs and the AsBURYs and all the pioneer
hosts of Methodism were men who went
into the cities and out on the from
tiers proclaiming free gospel
without regard to conventionaIities.
Whenever and wherever they ran
across sinner they made it a rule to stop
and preach to him. 1t is little singular
in these latter days to hear the same church
which WESLEY and AsBURY established.
contlemning one of its own members for
doing exactly what the pioneers of the
church did. Their action in this respect is
SO singular in fact as toexcite the suspicion

A HIDDEN MEANING.

The Atlanta Constitution reiterates its
Endorsement of the JEFF DAVIS domonstra-
ton because, as it says. sit understood pre-
cisely what these demonstrations meant :"
Just so. The Constitution doubtless did
understand the meaning of them. That
meaning as interpreted at this distance, is
that the Constitution has candidate who
is being groomed for the gubernatorial
nomination in the state of Georgia. That
candidate is Gen. JOHN B. GORDON. In
order to work up boom for Its candidate,
the Constitution finds it necessary to fire
the Southern heart once more, by the reap
pearance ofJEFF DAVIS and the resurrection
of BEN HILLS ghost, with Gen. GORDON
sandwiched in between them. The demon
stration may have answered the Constitu-
tons purpose. but it was hard blow on
the South all the same.

A BROKEN HEART.

All, how well do remember how one day in
last December a blue-eyed little maiden to
the preachers dwelling bore.
How we not moment tarried till he said that
we were married, and we vowed that we'd
love each other as no being loved before.
How we talked of love and pottage, in a cheer
full little cottage with bright flowers by the
window, and lot of other SluSh.
Though some people like this diet you had
better never try it, for I'd sooner have Il
beefsteak than world of love and mush.
But as intended saying when my fancy took
to straying, was never SO discouraged as
1 am this blessed night.
For I've found beyond suspicion that hold
mean position as the husband of awoman
who is artificial quite.
For her bangs, which looked so human
never grew upon the woman, they were
purchased for five dollars at u warehouse
down the street.
And her long and sillSen dresses which have
known my fond caresses, hide the most I'M
calmly CATERS, which are worn on mighty
feet.
And the teeth, which looked so pearly to my
eyes when love was early, she immerses in
a tumbler when she crawls into her bed.
And her form that looked so Queenly as she
moved along serenely is not such as men
are proud of, but made up one instead.
Lynn Union.
