burst Of the citizens Of Nash
vile, crystallizcd in tho form
OF q petition to President Cleveland
Tor the appointment to the postmastership
made vacant by the generals death. Per-
haps no longer petition was ever sent to
the government for any purpose. Much
OF this honor, OF course, growing from ade-
sire to do honor to the dead chieftain, but
when her appointment came back she did
as Gen. Cheatham had done, went into the
Office, learned tho duties, and did them
herocally, despite her daily falling
strength. She was worthy successor in
Office, as she had ever been worthy com
panion during his life. Five children,
three boys and two little girls, eight and
six years, are left TO grieve over an irrepara..
bic loss. The State Of Tennessee should
take the little girls and educate them as a
suitable tribute to her second greatest
soldier. X"

TIE WEATHER..

The youngest inhabitant of Memphis
has now an advantage over the oldest, for
the latter certainly never saw weather OF
the character which signalizcd yesterday.
At o'clock in the morning peculiar fine
slect, driven by swift wind, began TO fall
and continued for hours until there was
an average precipitation Of not less than
three inches. The Wind came directly
from the north and was a genuine blizzard.
The meteorological freak known as n biz
zard Is rare even in the northwest, its
native lair, 40 TO speak, but il visited Mem.
phis yesterday. The distinctive features
Of this atmospheric phenomenon are
driving wind, fine pellicles Of sleet
or hard snow, and low temperature.
People caught out Of doors die in II be-
cause OF the rarity OF the atmosphere and
their inability TO sustain continuous mus
cular excrtion owing TO the difficulty OF
filling their lungs. II was therefore a real
blizzard that greeted the early riser In
Memphis yesterday morning. and when
the readers Of The ArPEAL, at their break
fast tables, noted the terrible reports Of
suffering that the virus brought down
from Dakota, they had but 10 look out Of
their windows TO Sec an arm Of the same
storm which was working such frightful
havoc In the northwest. It's coming,
though II was the middle Of January. was
heraldcd by thunder and lightning, and
those who were AROUSED by the rumblings
In the heavens and the swish
Of the slect against the windows,
might well have imagined for a
moment that they were afflicted by a
most gruesomc nightmare. There seems
TO be ground for tho. belief Of No many
persons that the weather, summcrand win
tcr, Is not In this country what Il used TO
be. Years ago the farmers did not com.

now do. They could calculate with reason.

Having occasion to 60 over to Artesia
last Tuesday night, saw quite novel
wedding. 1t was a runaway couple, and
the parties were Mr.. T, II. Pope, pros
porous young planter, Of Octibbeha county,
and Miss Minnie Henry, daughter OF Mr..
j. Q. Henry, of Starkville. 1t seems that
the arrangements having been made, the
groom procured his license in Lowndes
county, and then went to Starkville after
his girl. They boarded the train at the
Agricultural and Mechanical college, two
miles from Starkvile, and came to
Lowndes county, bringing with them a
justice OF the peace from Starkville. The
program was to be married when the
train stopped for water, the tank being
just on the county line. Everything
worked all right until the train stopped
and the license was handed the Justice of
the peace, who, as soon as he looked at it,
told them he could not marry them, for
the license was not good out Of Lowndes
county, and he had no jurisdiction in
Lowndes county. They came on to Ar
tesla and sent for the mayor, Mr.. George
Dewitt, but found him sick in bed. This,
however. was not enough to stop them.
So they went TO the mayors house and
had him propped up in bed with pillows
while he performed the ceremony. They
were thoroughly in earnest, and, having
started out TO get married, were not going
to stand back for anything. Mr.. Rutland.
baggagemaster on the train, being friend
10 the parties, acted as master Of cere-
monies, and performed his part both with
dash and grace, and his ever-ready wits
helped them out Of every trouble. After
the ceremony they boarded the train and
returned TO Starkvlle.

Proposition to Cremate Their Bodies

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. l5.-Thc proposition
TO cremate the bodies OF the dead anarch-
lists was practically shelved at a meeting Of
the defense committee today. DIR. Ernest
Schmidt reported to the meeting that the

sorting in the deed the restrictions against
demonstrations and unapproved monu.

friends insisted upon having that document
rewritten, in order that tho names
Of certain extreme radicals be appended IA

Schmidts advice, decided 10 let the old
commemorative trustees remain for the
present. Some Of the committeeman,
however, warned the meeting that there
would. be trouble on November IL, next,
when the gates OF the cemetery would be
closed before the throngs Of pilgrims"
Much Of the committees time
was taken up with the puzziine
question rs 10 whether Eliza

Of by the committee and be given share

tween the two factions that have been
fighting for the control OF the defense
fund was ratified by the election OF an en-.
