MEDICAL EXAMINERS.
Three of Our Leading Physicians Ap pointed On the Hoard By the
 County Judge.

In accordance with an act of the last Legislature, County Judge w. D. Jones has appointed Drs. z. Orto, I. l.. Goree and J. P. Stanley, as a Board of Medical Examiners for Jefferson County. 1t will be the duty of this Board to examine all persons who desire to practice medicine in the county, and if the applicant passes q successful ex- animation to grant him a license. These physiciansa are so well known and stand so high in the estimation of our people that it will be unneces- sary for the GRAPHIC to say that our Honorable County Judge could not have selected better material for the Board. Their appointment is an assurance that q higher standard for physicians will be created and it will do away with quacks and ignorant persons who have in past years preyed upon certain class of our people.
 The bill creating the County Board of Medical Examiners-a most ex- cellent law-was introduced by Dr. Clemmons. of Yell County. It be- came a law only by being passed over the veto ot Governor Clarke.

There is mistaken idea that "culture" means to paint q little, to sing little, to dance little, and to quote passages from popular books. As matter of fact, culture means nothing of the kind. Culture means mastery over self, politeness, charity, fairness, good temper, good conduct. Culture is not q good thing to make display; it is something to use so modestly that people do not dis cover all at once that you have it.-Ex.

down to the ferry dock and in con versation with Mr. John Couch stated that he wanted to make the trip to Hound City. Mr. Couch told him that the boat would not go to Mound City for some time. but that he could go across to West Memphis if he SD desired. Mr. Talley stated that he did not care to make that trip, but wanted to go to Mound City, inasmuch as he had never been there and desired to have q look at the place.
 "He WAS cheerful, ; said Mr. Couch, this morning, "and l noticed nothing unusual, whatever, about him. did not think for a moment that he contemplated suicide" This morn ing, half an hour before Talley threw himself under the train, he again went to the ferry dock. talked with with Mr. Couch and spoke ofmaking the trip that he discussed on. yester- terday. Soon afterhe walked up the hill and stood around few minutes at the northwest corner of the Gus tom-house yard. near where Alice Mitchell cut the throat of Freda Ward.
 George Reeves, a watchman at the crossing, stated that he saw Talley standing there, but did not know him.
 He walked down 10 the ferry dock, said Reeves, "then came back and I saw him walking around while one train of ears passed. Another train came along moving south, the cars being in front of the engine, and this man walked down the track. He was then loo feet from me. When the train reached within a few feet of him, he took off his hat, walked over, stopped down aud placed his head on the rails. He seemed to do this deliberately. The cars struck his head and 1 at once went down there"
 The engine pushing the train of ears that struck Talley was the Ches- apeake, Ono & Southwestern engine No. 57S, in charge of Engineer Joe 3rusco. The Chesapeake, Ohio X Western track is the one nearest the Custom-house yard, and it was on the western rail that poor Dick Talley lay his head. It is probable that the wheel striking his head showed it aside, because, had if re- mained in it's original position, it would have been crushed from his body.
 Dick Talley is well known in this city. He has lived here for many years and has host of friends among business men and railroad men. He is one of Pat Rogers num- erous victims. Talley was for many yeors in the service of the Memphis

X Charleston railroad, after which he entered the service of the Chesapeake, Ohio X Western. and the Louisville, New Orleans X Texas as joint ticket agent for both roads. Rogers was at the time general passenger agent for the Louisville, New Orleans X Texas system. Talley had some money and Rogers proceeded to get hold of it. Talley indorsed for him extensively, and, of course, had to pay. Later on, through the influence of Rogers, Talley lost his position. He also lost his position with the Chesapeake, Ohio & Southwestern Company and Howard Jolly sue ceeded him. He had some stock in the Tennessee Midland Railroad and lost that. Healso had some bonds in the same railroad and the result of the sale few days ago he realized some money which he used to pay certain debts in the bank.
 For some time Talley was secre- tary of the Memphis Passenger Asso- citation, but he was such a kind hearted man that he would not re- port the boys, or disliked to do 1t when they violated the agreement. For some time past his health has not been good and for the last three or four months he has fancied that he vas a victim of heart disease. It is known that he has been despond- ent for some time, and his friends sought by every means possible to cheer him up and get him to look on the bright side of life.
 In speaking of Talley, John Scott this morning said to Scimitar re- porter: "There never was more honest man than Dick Talley. He was a thorough gentleman, q good fellow, loved his friends and would make any kind of sacrifice in the world for them.''
 Mr. Scott's remark was warmly in- dorsed by Harry Wilson, Ike Samel- son, Bob Newsome and other rail- road men who knew Talley.
 Mir. Talley has one brother, F. D. TaIley, who is in the cotton business here. and one sister, Mrs. J. Frank Hicks, the widow of the late Capt. J. Frank Hicks, the well known steamboat man. For some time Mrs. Hicks has been living in this city and Mir. Talley has been living with her.
 About noon Mir. Talley expired at St. Joseph's Hospital. Dr. Hermann did yerything possible for him, but the poor fellow was beyond human aid. 1t is not known when the re- mains will be inferred. The deceased was 50years of age and unmarried.

Belief 1t Hot Spring. That Preparations
Are Making tn Pull II on in Private.
LITTLE Rock, Oct. 2s.-Constable Allen
p. Davis, of Hot Springs. was in this city
and gave out information which leads
those who talked to him to believe that
Corbett and Fitzsimmons will fight in pri-
vate not far from Hot Springs one day
about the latter part Of this week. The
prevailing opinion in Hot Springs sport.
ing circles Is that the fight will certainly
occur at some point i'm Or near Garland
county. Such an air Of mystery surrounds
the whole proceedings that it is very hard
to get any thoroughly reliable informa-
tion on tho subject, but that preparations
arc being made in a quiet way for fight
no one doubts.
A close friend of Governor Clarke has
been shown letters from Hot Springs
which tend to confirm the belief that q
fight will occur One Of the letters is said
to have come from Attorney Martin and
states that preparations were being made
for a private fight. Governor Clarke, in
speaking Of this Information, is said TO
have remarked that he did not care how
much they fought SO long as it was con-
Quoted in private and without being
advertised.
MEMPHIS, Oct 2s-A special to The
Commercial Appeal from Little Rock
says: Governor Clarke has received in.
formation from Hot Springs which con.
vinccs him beyond question that an effort
will be made to pull off the fight at HO.
Springs on schedule time. The governor
still says he will prevent it. He cares not
