room for fortv-two residence buildings,
will have completed their labors. Al
together nearly eight thousand oodles
have been removed from the cemetery,
although it does not cover a very large
area Evidently the employees OF the
corporation that formerly owned the
cemetery believed i'll turning an honest
penny, and as many OF them as posSl-

fifteen bodies have been eXhumed from

EDWARD PARKER DEACON
On Trial for the Murder of His Wife's
ParamOur.

NEW YORK, April pa London dis
patch SAYS that the spring term OF the
district Court at Grasse, France, opens
to-day. Usually this tribunal ATTRACTS
but little interest outside OF It's own
jurisdiction, but an international naNOf
il given to the present session by the
fact that the most important case on Ihe
docket Is lat Of Ed ard Parker Deacon,
a wealthy American, who in February
last shot and killed NJ. Emile Abellle,
" nom he found in his wife's bedroom
at the hotel Splendid, at Cannes, under
peculiar circumstances, Whlch leII no
doubt but that there was a larson De
tween the couple. There Will be for
midable array Of counsel on both sides.
Deacon's plea will be justification. Full
details of the tragic affair were cabled
to this country at the time OF It's occur
ence.
Deacon, who is a member of a Paris
banking firm, had taken up his abode
at the hotel with his wife, who was at
one time the leading belle in Boston,
and his four children. On the morning
of the tragedy he left Cannes, saying
that he would not be back for several
days. He returned, however, late the
same night, and, proceeding TO ms
wife'S room unannOunced, 1Ound InaC
his place had been usurped by Aoellle,
who was a member of the diplomatic
service and brother of A memb Der OF the
Chamber of Deputies, and lad reputa-
| ton of a noted gallant. Drawing re-
VOlver Deacon fired at his Wlte'S con-
sort, who was partially undressed, and
killed him in his tracks. Meanwhile
| the wife had seized the hands OF her
! husband, and throwing herself at his
! feet irnpIored him to spare her and not
to fire again, and not to make scandal
! for the sake OF their children. Deacon
at once surrendered himself to the
police, explaining that he had no inten-
tion Of killing Abeille, but only desired
| to mark him, as he had long suspected
| a laison and was desirOus of stopping
| it. He has since been on bail.

that il he ever spoke at all II would

position that it would be to the best
interests OF the party to give him a

which he declares that he has never

A Ia GREAT HOUSE WARMING.
Memphis VIII Celebrate Her Bridge
Opening i'm Grand style.


Memphis has put her best foot for
ward for q great house warming on
the l1th of May, TO which she IN
vites everybody far and near. The
occasion will be the formal opening
of the new 81, 800, 900 railroad passen-
ger bridge to public traffic. The
bridge is not only a triumph of en-
gineering skill, but will prove wol-
derfully economical, quick and safe
method of transportation from the
Western and Southwestern markets,
across the Mississippi River to the
Eastern markets and seaboards, and
vice versa, from Eastern seaboard and
market, to the consumers West and
Southwest.
A remarkable fact is that this bridge
is pitched at the exact point where in
Nav, 1871, fernando DeSOto, with
a band of fearless followers, pushing
westward first sighted the Father of
Waters and set up a sort of military
post. The excavations for the I'M
mense abutments on the eastern
banks, at Chisca Mound, have dis
closed a number of rude warlike i'm
pIements used by the Spaniards.
Memphis has been trying for thirty
wears to secure the building OF this
bridge, but what with the opposition
of the river transportation companies
and persons more or less selnshIV
interested i'm the enterprise as specu-
lation, it was delayed for a quarter of
a century, but now the magnificent
steel and stone structure is practi-
cally completed, and Will be ready
for traffic before the day set for the
celebration.
Memphis proposes to do the honOrs

every Southern citizen aud American
will be proud. A program which
will involve the expenditure of $25,-
600, subscribed by the people of Mem
phis, has been arranged for the enter
tainment of visitors. The railroads
will offer a very low rate for the
round trip, and the doors of the city
will SWING wide for royal welcome
to all who visit the celebration.
