a Damage SHIT,

NJ. J. Ney, n VOL Known telegraph
operator, has filed suit for damages
against tho Union Pacific Railway
company for $4,000. Tho complaint
sets up that %piuintiff was in tho en-
ploy of tho defendant company at
Rock Springs, where he was involved
in n dispute with ono of the em-
ployecs. The result was that the
plaintiff was shot ut four times and
subsequently went to work for the
Western Union Telegraph company.
He had worked there four months
when he was dismissed since which
timo through tho efforts of the Union
Pacific no has been denied employ
ment. In conversation with tho re-
porter, Mr.. Ncy stated that no had
made frequent efforts to secure en-
ployment but was boycotted by tho
alleged system OF black listing to
which the companies were subscribers.
The result Of tho suit which IS being
conducted by Messrs. Critchlow,

THE SENTENCE.

The sentence OF Beni. A. Morris to
the po~nitentiary for life, pronounced
by Judge Talbot this morning, gives
universal satisfaction to the people.
The Judge did his duty manfully and
while tho people regret that the jury
could not e their way clear to bring
in n verdict OF murder in the first de-
gree, they uro satisfied With tho sen
tence.
The defendant when asked by the
Court il he had any legal cause to
show why sentence should not le
pronounced against him, made no re-
ply but with II emile turned toward
MI. Harrington, his counsel. who re-
piled that no. had nothing to Say.
When the solemn words OF tho judge
werc pronounced that consigned him
to u living tomb in the penitcntiary

twitch n muscle, aud at the conclusion
smiled tho same sickly smile that
played on his c~ountcnance while tcs-

The natural gas theory may have
been exploded in the minds of Chat
tanoogans, but the existence of the
fuel is yet a mOoted question with
outsiders. There is now on Walden's
Ridge a gentleman interested in the
Ohio gas regions and he is authority
for the statement that no less than six
representatives of oil and gas cons
Germs of Ohio are in Tennessee, Ala
bama and Mississippi. These con-
Germs, states the Ohioan, have had
for three months past three of these
"spotters" in the vicinity of Chatta-
noOga, and the contract has been
really let for the boring of three
wells within five miles of the city
limits. The same parties who have
secured the contract have been oper-
atiBg in Alabama, and from the re-
cent reports n oil and gas finds in
that State the story appears plausible.

NASHVILLE, Jan. %. - Business
and collections were reported fair

bad weather had the effect of making
most of them feel little blue. Sugar,
coffee and lard are steady, while ba-
con is inclined little to dizziness.
The fruit and vegetable dealers are
doing fair business. Country APP
Piles are getting scarce, and as there
are very few Northern apples prices
have again advanced. Oranges are
dull, as there is superabundance of
them on the market.
There is no change made in the
quotation prices of eggs, though they
are considered little unsteady with
downward tendencies. A great many
old hens are being offered on dull
market for them.
The fur and pelt season is fairly
opened and considerable quantities
are coming in, though less business is
being done in this line at this season
than for some years.
