Col B. w. Wrenn .

The Knoxville, Tenn, Tribune of April
2, referring to a very complimentary
sketch of the general passenger and
ticket agent of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railway system,
says
THE sketch is from the pen of Sam.
W. Small and relates something of the
life and achievements of Col Wrenn, who
enjoys the distinction of being one of the
best and most successful railroad men in
the country. He is a thorough master
of the business in which he is engaged
and for which he has that enthusiasm
necessary to success. He is energetic, a
man of ideas, a hustler, an originator
He has achieved marked success as a
manager of passenger raffic, not an easy
business to master, but which he under
stands in all its manifold and intricate
details. Col Wrcnn is an enthusiast
upon the subject of the south and south
ern development, and through his large
acquaintance in the east and north has
done much 10 attract attention to the
south and its advantages. A Virginian
by birth, and proud of his nativity, as all
Nlrginian are, he is also a TenneSSeean
and Georgian, and a southerner always
standing for and advocating advance
ment, improvement and progress in all
their material forms"
The MORNING News endorses every
word said by the Tribune. No railroad
man in the union has done more to de-
velop modern passenger traffic than
Col. Wrenn, and none in the south has so
perSistently advocated every measure
that tended to the advancement its pros
perity. He should long since have been
the general manager or some great rail-
road system.

AN OKLAHOMA FIGHT.
Repeating Rifle Against Revolver II
the Hands of Two Men of Nerve.

From the Daily Oklaaoman.
The peace of the city was disturbed
Sunday morning by the killing of Hank
Cunningham. a VIGOROUSLY desperate
man, by Bill Mcclure, well-known
scout, cowman and pioneer. Little won
der was expressed at Cunningham having
died with his boots on, for such fate
had been foretold for him long ago. 1t
was from the beginning a fight to the
death Two men were engaged in NOR
tai combat at an early morning hour with
only four witnesses to the deadly en-
counter. One or both of the men were
surely to die They were both what is
called game, and on this occasion were
nerved to the utmost tension-both
conscious of the desperate chances they
were running, and yet steady as ma
chimes, their muscles firm as steel as
they faced each other with the deadly
firearms
IL was an awful scene, aud the wit
nesses will remember il to the day Of
their death. Every man in the room
stood with blanched face waiting to see
one or both of the principals fail Nc
Clure stood ali of the time awaiting the
advance Of his determined adversary
who never faltered even after receiving a
bullet which had cut It's way through his
breast, but came forward with his
cooked repeater until he dropped at the

TO DISPOSE OF THE MEDALS.
The Ladies Auxiliary Of the Veterans
Association to Meet To-day.


Association to Meet To-day.
TheLadies Auxiliary of the Confederate
Veterans Association will meet at the
residence of the president, Mrs. George
". Lamar, this morning to arrange for
the celebration of Memorial day on April
26
The Jackson medals which were turned
over to the Ladies Auxiliury by Mrs
Lamar, will also probably come
10 for discussion. The ladies
decided some time ago to dispose
of the medals for the benefit of needy
confederate veterans, but have delayed
doing so on account OF the claims made by
some of the members of the Stone
wall jackson brigade that the
medals were originally intended for it.
The claimants were allowed until to-day
to substantiate their claims, and as they
have not been able to do this the ladies
viii proceed to dispose of the medals
The claims which have been made are of
very indefinite character, and no proof
has been brought forward in support of
them.
II is intended to send portion of the
medals to the confederate veterans re-
union at Birmingham next month TO be
disposed of to the veterans there.
The report that another supply of the
medals has been discovered in New York
may be true The medals which We're
brought over from Paris by Col. Lamar
in 1868 were run in at Wilmington,
from which point they were shipped to
Augusta, where Jhey were stored until
some years after the war While the
union army was in Augusta the ware
house was broken open and a quantity of
the medals carried away by the soldiers
II is possible that the medals which have
been discovered in New York NAV be
portion of those which were stolen from
the warehouse in Augusta.
A large quantity OF the medals were
sent from Savannah to Virginia several
years after the war to be disposed of
there The medals were lost sight of and
perhaps may have found their way to
New York.

WEAPONS ONLY FOR DEFENSE.
The Mayor Fines the Police Who Shot
Phillips.

Phillips.
policemen C. w. Dyer and P. Rahilly
r-are before the mayor yesterday for
the shooting of the young negro
phillips. The charge against them was
.rf9lating section 50 of the rules and reg
nations of the police department, by

80 on the street, thereby shooting
md younding one Thomas Phillips,

Tnev were sharply reprimanded and were
fined SO each.
This ends the mystery as to who shot
the Young boot black. 1t is lucky thing
fo~ the policeman and the boy that Dyer
and Rahllly are not accurate shots.
II is also fortunate for the policeman,
tn that it was the boOtblack who was
shot and not some one who would have
made inquiries into the rights of the
n1-fce to make a target of any one who
b3uuens to run from them.
Tie shooting of Phillips was clearly I'M
nroyoked. 1t took place in Congress street

the corner of Congress- and Price streets

Ipfs at that time bringing several of them

lane in a sharp trot. He was seen by one
of he policemen. who exclaimed; Look
At that negro. boys, see how he is run
The other policemen Immediately took
off down the lane in pursuit of him. BY
the time the crowd reached East Broad
street several pistol shots were fired
The negro kept on running and turned
towards Bay street, when the firing was
resumed. Seven or eightshots were fred
In ALL The negro fell near the corner of
East Broad and Bay streets. The police
ambulance was telephoned for and he was
taken to the barracks.
The statement, shot by unknown par
ties, was entered against his name on
the books Phillips was sent out to the
Georgia inirmary from which he escaped
the next morning, his wounds being
slight. An investigation of the matter
was begun and ended in the discovery of
the officers who did the shooting The
action of the mayor will probably lessen
the tendency to use their weapons except

Manohester's Cotton Market.

Manchester, April 1.-THE Guardian,
in its commercial article says: The
tone of the cotton market has been quiet
and steady Only a minimum amount of
business has been executed, and the
slackness of the demand has caused a lin
tied stoppage, but it is not likely to be
very extensive. Unless the prices of
silver exchange recover a general raduc-
ton of prices seems inevitable. There
has been little change in yarns There
have been some home trade orders
for American crops and also for Egyp-
tians, the transactions being generally on
buyers terms"

Lequefied Air in Glasses.

Prof Dewar, lecturer before the
royal institute class, London exhibited
to his audience something which upset
many of the old notions respecting the
constituent parts of the atmosphere-viz.
Pure liquefied air in little claret glasses.
The boiling point of the liquid air
is 1922 centigrade, l0o lower
than that of pure oxygen.
The professor said that it was not true
as is generally supposed, that the oxygen
in the air hqueties before the other ele-
ments do; on the contrary air l1quefes as
air, and is not resolved into its elements
before liquefying. Mr.. Dewar calculates
that if it were possible to cool this globe
down to 200 degrees below the era of cen
tigrade, it would Immediately be covered
with a sea of liquefied gas 80 feet deep,
and that one strata Z feet thick would be
pure liquid oxygen.

A Plucky Woman.

Last Tuesday morning Mrs. John
Holderbrand, who resides near the
South bridge, was out feeding her
chickens when she spied tramp en-
tering the house by the front door.
She Immediately made run for the
back entrance and came upon the
tramp unawares, who was seated upon
the lounge with a revolver lying upon
the table beside him. Acting upon
the spur of the moment she rushed in
calling out: "Here he is John, bring
your gum" when the fact was she did
not know if her husband was within
ten miles of home-he having gone to
Newkirk. Her sudden entrance and
call for John" frightened the tramp
so that he made a break for the door
forgetting his revolver. She coolly
picked up the weapon and fired three
shots at the fleeing tramp. The last
seen of him he was still running
