Prominent Minister Dies in Memphis

Memphis, Tenn, March 22.-The
Rev. Albert G. Burrow, one of the old
est residents of Memphis, died late
Thursday at his residence, 200 N. Will
lett street, at the age of "A years. He
had been in poor health for several
years, but the last spell of illness lasted
about ten days.
The deceased was, up to few years
ago, an active minister in the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church. His father,
the late Rev. Reuben Burrow, remem-
bered by many of the older citizens, was
one of the founders of the denomina-
ton in the early part of the last CEN
fury. Rev. A. g. Burrow served as
chaplain through the Civil War, and a
greater part of the time was in the COM
mand of Gen. N. B. Forrest. In Skin
mish near Brownsville, Tenn, he re-
ceived severe wound, part of his skull
being shot away, and in his late years
the wound gave him considerable trou-
BILE and pain.
R. B. Green, of Union City, is cous-
in of the deceased, and was named for
his uncle, the late Reuben Burrow.

The General Education Bill.

Dear Sir: The General Educationa
Bill passed the House of Representa-,
tives, March 5, by vote of 6S to 10.
There is little doubt that it will pass the
Senate by a good majority when the
Legislature reconvenes in April The
bill contains provisions for a State ap-
preparation to assist counties to estab.
lish and maintain public high schools,
on the following conditions:
1. Public high schools may receive
from this fund in proportion to the
amount received from other sources for
current expenses.
2. No county may receive from this
fund more than one-half as much as
the county provides from public taxa
ton or other sources for current ex-
penses of high schools.
8. No county may receive more than
one-fftieth of the entire amount of the
appropriation for any year.
Under these provisions your county
of Obion should receive annually be-
tween 81 900 and 81, 200; but in order
to share in this fund this year your pub
lie high school or schools should be in
operation next fall. l am therefore
writing to suggest that your County
Court should take action on the matter
at its April session, levy high school
tax and appoint high school board
to locate and govern the school, etc.
The assessed property of your county is
about SO, 100000. A tax of ten cents
on the hundred dollars will produce
about $500 which, added to the sum
you will receive from the State, will be
about SO, 900.
If you establish more than one high
school in your county, this fund will,
of course, be divided among them as
your high school board may direct.
If II can do anything further to assist
you in this matter, please let me kncv.
Yours sincerely,
P. P CLAvToN.

What We Are Doing.

We wish to call the attention of the
public to the fact that good order and
business principles make business. For
an illustration we will call your atten-
ton to the Brackin House. When the
present management took it in charge
it was run down to an extent that it
hardly paid anyone to lend it their at
tention. We will submit few figures
to show you what business methods
will bring, even under adverse circum-
stances. The first five months that the
present management had the care of it,
with all the energy that could be put
forth, 1873 people were all that could
be drawn to the house. At the close of
the next five months their registration
showed 5, 1852 or 3,643 for the next five
months, which was gain over the first
five months of 2, 124 people. Their reg
istration shows to-day (Which is the
close of one years business) 5,609 peo-
pie. While the present management
does not regard this as any great
amount, under the adverse conditions,
with the panic on and the nightriding
trouble combined reducing business
of every nature, we think this is worthy
of consideration and worthy of note.
We will further add that their doors are
open day and night, not only to the
public, but to the officers of the law,
and not one arrest has ever been made
in the house. They are law in them
selves and all have learned to honor and
obey their rules, and we can say to the
public at large that you cannot find

purchased some of the Burley Society
pool last fall, had thrown many hogs
heads of their purchase back on the
hands Of the society. By taking adj
vantage of clause in the contract
in reference to the delivery of
the tobacco, it is alleged that many

ASSAULTED AND
TIED IN ROOM
Unconscious Girl is Discovered Sc
cureIy Bound in Room Of Hotel
Great Mystery Connect
ed With the Case.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Evidence which
is believed to indicate tiendish
crime was found today when the un-
conscious form of Ella Gringles, an
Irish laceworker, was found in room
OF the Wellington Hotel, down town
hostelry of first repute. The girl was
securely bound, suffering from laud-
mum poisoning, and apparently had
been assaulted. One leg was tied to
the bedstead and the other to the
washstand. The hands were tied
above the head A mysterious letter
signed in Miss Gringles name, but
which may not have been written by
her. and in which was said that she
was about to be, or was being murder
ed, figures in the case.
The theory of the police is that the
girl was lured to the hotel, piled with
drink and ultimately made the vic
tim of a horrible attack. There Is
evidence on hand to show that she
had been subjected to extraordinary
tortures and that she fought with des'
peration. This is shown in burns
bruises and cuts about the body and
head. A lighted candle, it is be-
lieved, was used in an attempt to
subdue her. While being taken to
the hospital, the unconscious girl
raved, frequently mentioning a man
and woman.
