miles west of Memphis and blew

Ing the Mississippi bridge. AS the
messenger started to pass from the
FIRST car to the second, he was con.
fronted by four men, in whose han ds
were two revolyers and two shot
guns. Its the old story Of men lv-
ing off their wits. too lazy to work
and who claim that the world owes
them living and they are going to
have it. The thieves shot the COL
ored porter through the thigh and
beat the messenger over the head
with the butt end Of their revolvers
after he had obeyed their every
command. The authorities are
after the thieves with bloodhounds
and repeating rifles. But what's
the use except to give the authori-
ties a chance Of showing their in

KILLED HIS BRIDE.

Brookhaven. News has reached
here that Luther Lambert, a young
farmer of Lawrence county, had killed
his bride of two weeks with bullet
of a 44-calibre Colts, which took
effect In the abdomen. There wero
no witnesses, and Lambert claimed
that the shooting was accidental.
The young wife lived thirty six housr
after receiving her death wound, and
is said to have made an ante-mortem
statement to the effect that she had
told her husband just before the
shooting that she was going to see
her mother, who lived in the neigh
borhood, starting to leave the house
as she did so. He then told her to
hand him his coat, which was hang
ing on the wall near by, and on her
turning to do so, he called to her to
look out, he was about to shoot. At
the same instant the pistol, which
was pointed.toward her, went off. At
last accounts no arrest had been
made. The bride-wife was not quite
fourteen years old and had eloped
with Lambert and married him exact
ly two weeks before the shooting &C.

EXPLOSION INJURIES THREE.

Canton. "A shocking accident from
dynamite occurrd at Moore's Quarry
on Big Black river, eight miles north
west of Canton Saturday noon. AS a
result Henderson Parrott, deputy
sheriff, will probably die. William
Walker, a blind man, and Frank Par
rott were terribly shocked and the
boat on which they were all seated at
the time was totally destroyed.
A party of five were in boats on the
river for the purpose of dynam iting
fish and by premature explosion the
accident occurred. All three of the
occupants of the boat were blown out
of sight into the water, but were res
cued by the timely assistance of Dor
sey Parrott and John Richards, who
were near them in another boat.
There is very little hope for Hen
derson Parrott, who had his left arm
entirely blown off, as also his chin
and two fingers off his right hand.
Both eyes are thought, to have been
destroyed besides having one leg
mangled. The others were badly
shocked Mr. Walker being made en-
tirely deaf, though he may recover his

STREET RAILWAY FRANCHISES.

Biloxi.-The City Council was
called in special session to consider
petition for the privilege of estab-
fishing an electric railway over the
streets of the city. The projectors,
as shown by the petition, are w. A..
White and John Carroway. The petit
tion was before the council Wednes-
day night, but when discovered that
a majority of those present would
oppose granting same until thor
ough examination had been made into
the matter, it was withdrawn and a
special meeting called for Friday
night, when there was q full board
present.
Alderman Heidenheim of the first
ward offered a motion that the petit
ton should lie on the table for three
weeks, until the members could have
time to consider its provisions, which
was voted down. The petition was
then read, when two additional petit
lions for the franchlse, ana oHerlng
to pay the city for same, were pre-
sented. The first petition offered the
city nothing, and asked for unre-
stricted use Of the streets. After con-
discussion the petitions
were withdrawn for am sndment, and
if they come again before the board
it will be in different form. 1t is
generally supposed White and Cara
way represent the company which
formerly operated street car line
here, and whose franchise prescribes
a penalty of 800 day for every day
the line is not run, and different
franchise is now desired. The failure
Friday night is regarded as final.
