THE MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL. SATURDAY, FEBKUAEY 19, 187Q.A SAD CASE.

Father in Search of an Erring Child

Fines Her In a House of Prostitution.

Somi weeks agoaprominent a team boat-man, irell known to the fraternity fromPittsburg to the Gulf, came to thiscitynnd pl.t up at a second-clas- s hotel. Hehad with him, and, as he said, "under hiscare," very handsome and showy younglady, whom he registered as Miss , andwhom he introduced as bis niece. At thehotel every attention was paid her, be-

cause her "uncle" was known to have lotsof money, and threw it up in the mostreckleta manner. For a week or so theattentions of the uncle to the niece weremost aisiduous, but gradually be began toneglect coming around to the hotel., andafter paying the bill for the second week'sboard, lie ceased to show himself there atall. V'hen the third week's board wasdue, the proprietor carried their bill tothe voting lady, and she promised to seeCaptain and have it paid. A day ortwo ehipsed anil the Captain did not comearound, and she sent for a carriage andwent cut ostensibly to find him. She wasabsent a couple of tours and on returningpaid hdr bill. She retained the coach andafter making a settlement with the land-lord, picked her trunks, and taking thesame hack disappeared. Nothing wasthought of the affair by the hotel-keene- r,

and tb? matter had nearly gone out of hismind, when yesterday an old gentleman,with white hair and a long gray lieard,dimetohiin and asked him if Miss ,

from Cincinnati, had stopped at his hotelwit hit the past three weeki. At first hedid not recollect the party, and answered"No," but after reflection he describedthe lady friend of the "gallant" captainaoeurt tely and asked if she were the partyfor wliom he was seeking. The old gen-tleman instantly answered that she was,and the landlord told him all that he knewof her, giving the number of the hack inwhich she went off. The stranger ouhear-in- g

t lis seemed terribly agitated, butcontrolled his feelings and immediatelystarted out to find the hackman. Thiswas eiisily done, and when on meetinghim Die old man asked about the lady,the driver told him to "jump in" and hewoulc. carry bim whereshewastobe found.He got in, and was soon whirled to a fash-iona- b

e bagnio and ushered into the parlor.The landlady asked him if be wished to

see ar.y of the ladies, and on his answer-ing "yes," she called all of her boarders in.Foretiost in the troupe, singing a bawdysong, came the "niece" of the Captain.As soon as she entered the room the oldman leaped to bis feet, stretched out hisarms toward her and exclaiming, "mydaughter, oh, mv danghter!"fell headlongto the floor. The girl rushed up to bimend '.brew herself down on his body,screaming and weeping in the most pit-

eous manner. Water and the usual res-

toratives were used, and the old niau soonreoovsred his senses only to receive ashock which again sent him into a swoon.While he was lying iu this condition, thedaughter, the cause ot all his misery.ran toher rcoin.took her jewelry and such ready,money as she had, and throwing on ashawl, left the house. When the fatherstitfic:ently recovered to ask for her, showas gane.'whither no one knew. After adiligent search for her throughout thehouse and premises, she was not found,and the poor old man left the house broken-

-hearted. He is still in town, and stillsearching for his missing, erring child,

to save her if it is possible.

Shelliy Circuit Court Judge Swayne.The nrgiiliient of counsel in thecaseof

Mrs. Broker vs. Southern Life InsuranceCompany will be concluded this morning.This is a" suit on a policy of insurance for

lo.ono on the life of E." J. Beoker. dee'd.The deieased Booker was an insuranceagent, ind through the general agent ofthe company at .New Orleans obtaiued ancUejr of insurance on his life for the ben-efit of his wife. The defense set up is:

i. That the agent at New Orleans tookthe not? of Captain Booker for the pre-mium, when he ought to have receivedcash.i Tht the stamp on tho policy was not

properly canceled.;;. Thit the statements of Captain Book-

er in r.- - application for insurance wereuntrue.

It is in proof that the deceased CaptainBooker understood that certain per cent-age- s

due bim a sagent should be creditedupon h s note; that he was born in Notta-wa- y

county. Virginia, instead of Ott a way,assisted in the xlicy; that he lived inJefferson ville, instead of New Orleans;that be was a steamboat agent, instead ofsteamboat agent and merchant; that heserved in the Confederate army two yearsinstead of four. Captain Booker diedSeptember 20, lSn, and the company re-

THE FREIGHT BLOCKADE.

President Wicks' Letter to Chamber ofCojnmerce.

President Wieka, of the M. A C. R. R.,supposing that there would occur n meet-ing of merchants yesterday afternoon,sent to President Kelson, of the Chamberof Commerce, the statement of Mr. Anderson, Superintendent ot Transportation,

'tbat up to the 17th ins!., the movement ofcars for this month from Memphis, has i

beeu, for through ireight, l(s cars; localand Mississippi Centra! freights, 314 ens.The loiter of President Wicks is as fol-lows:

MEiiriiis and Charleston Ratlkoa n.lOFF1CK OK THK 1'HBlDENT, V

Memphis, Tznn., February m le?0.)Thomas A. Nelson, Esq., Prettidunt Chamber

of Commerce:Dear Sir: The enclosed note shows

that the charges made through tho citypapers in reference to preference beinggiven to freight shipped from otuor pointsare without foundation.

Permit mo to call your attention to theinjury that may be done to the trade ofMemphis by such notices. If believed bycountry dealers they would, of course,go to other points to make their purcha-ses This note is iulcnded to lie used asyou may see proper. It will afford mopleasure' at any time to do all we can forthe mutual interests of the city and thM. C. R. R. Co. At this time we havea large accumulation ol through freightin our warehouses, nnd must get rid of itat once, as we risk fire and damage. Wehave stopped shipments of throughfreight to us, and trust that after a lewdays we will be able to move all

without delay.In future I trust our merchants will

see the proper officers of tho road inreference to delays Instead of complaintsthrough the papers, which do mure inju-ry than good to their trade.

Respectfully, M. J. WICKS,President.

. THE CANVASS.

Editors Appeal: Tho communicationsigned "Fair Play," which appeared inyour issue of Saturday, the 12th inst., is,in my opinion, calculated to lie injuriousto the Democratic party of this county.

"Fair Play" commences his remarks onthe velvet glove principle, concealing thetiger's claw beneaihby suavely observingthat he is a "Democrat of the straigbteatsect." To the word "straighUst" I ob-ject, coming from one who is so free withquotations of school-bo- y latin, eventhough it is but a quotation, for if any-thing is straight nothing can be straijriit-er- .

But I pass this matter by; tho termis certainly expressive, and conveys, Ipresume, the idea of an immaculate Dem-ocrat, flow he exhibits this character inThe spirit of his letter is n matter of wou- -der to all not seeing that writer's views asbe does himself. But strange to say, aftertho ingenious writer establishes to hissatisfaction, I presume, t he law ot chang-ing-s,

yasciil itions and waverings of opin-ions, which he does by au accidental ap-pearance of some such idea iu a latin sen-tence, be confesses to the appreciative pub-licth-

he altered hisdetenuinationoi"ourwholo tickot." Alas for the

whole ticket! Aud why has "Fair Play"donethis? Hestatesiuiply because "sincethen Major Strange has been brought outin a manner that might make any one feelproud." From tho writer's language, hewas not one of the friends who broughtou'. Major Strange, and his argumeut furhis action iu the mutter at present ist thatsuch a large call has b e., m id '; or, ino' her words, he hss followed a big crowd,echoing an idea he never originated.

But lot us intelligently and fairly ex-

amine Ihe magnitude of Mr. Slrange'scall, as compared wilh that of the regularnominee of the Democratic parly. Weconcede the wealth of the genilenn nmaking the call on Mr. Strange, but wemust remember they are only mere voters.The vole f a man wor.h fifty thousanddollars counts one; the vote of a manearniug two dollars a day counts one,also. Tho law of the laud perceives nodifference. Now, the delegales of theSeventh Ward, for instance, representedmore votes cast even at tka primary Wardmeeting than the whole of Mr. Slrange'slong list, and combining all the city op-posite Mr. Slrange's call, it will siiriukinto a small space, even with "Fair Play"as its advocilc.

The whole of " Fair Play's " letter issuch a medley of contradictions that itwould lie useless to follow out hissophisms in detail. Afier declaring him-self a Democrat of th-- t " BtfSdgfctMl sect,"be distinctly declares that he is no"mere party man, aud never was,"although he coii'inuos "an

Democrat all my life."An uiiconiiiroinisinas Democrat, anil

nfli'l no piny Man! Strange paradox!I v ho can fathom so deep as to MM how

such athtni; is possible? liut the writerwrongs himself; he was a mere party man,though but for a short time, lor he men-tions his original intention of going forthe whole tickoi, though he acknowledgesthat he kuew It to bo au imperfect one.Was not that acting as a mere party man?I'ndoubediy; and surely "Fair Play"need not te told at this time that all trueand staunch Democrats are aud must beSMS pariy men in that sense. It is verystrange in au uncompromising Demo-crat " to brand the actiou of his party byfollowing a party of bolters leti by such aleader as healed Mr. Strauge's call.

" Fair Play's " Idea that u c the" straight est sect " aud the " mere party"men. he means, of course are trying tobuild up " a party again." is very good,and his arguments as to boa; we must setin order to succeed are so true I hat theyevidently are the lingering echo of Lissentiments when a " mere party " man.Ho says, to do this, "is it not by provingby our acts that all worthy and compe-tent men who enter our fold shall partici-pate equally with us in all our privi-leges?"' Certainly; "Fair Play" is un-doubtedly speaking sensibly how. Butafter uttering this d truth,what coursed ties the writer practically ad-vocate? Just the reverse of this. Headvocates the defeat of Mr. Keillv,e. "competent man who entered our fold"when as an Irishman It had no earthlyclaim on him, when he might have goneover to tho ranks of our oppoueuts wilhmore profit surely, as being ih- - strongerside. And worse than all'FairPlayVem-phasise- d

reasons are because he objects toan "Irish succession" in oflLv. This ispracticing what he preaches with a ven-geance. But in what consists the Irishsuccession so unpleasant to this moinberof the "straightest sect?" Simply onepredecessor si nee th oilloe was establishedmany years ago. Truly a startling suc-cession. Surely the animo-ii- y must bevery strong that can bring forward such ajioor, prejudiced objection as this. "Thewhole world," wrote a monomaniac mu-sician, "is divided into two classes: Thosewho play the fiddle and those who donot." Memphis, si ems to imagine "FairPlay " is divide.l into two classes: Thosewho are Irishmen and those who are not."O tempora ! O MSI f,

The friends of Major Strange are toblame. They kaew of our Conventionand its object. Surely they should haveknown nelorenaud the peculiar fitness otlhat gentleman for the office of Clerk ofth iwh ti, .hoirf h ! . ..

known his being of the ni j.irityas "Fair Play" now asserts. aud knowingthis, why SKM bring him before the Con-vention? Hid they consider of no im-portance the nomination of such Conven-tion Did tbey tear to trust the menwho nominated General Wright, Wood-ward and others, with au opportunity todecide ou Mr. Strange? If not, then thequalities of M.jor cUrunge for the officemust not be so very prominent, or itwould not have taken tiuio to discoverthem till it was beyond the pow6r of thoDemocratic jutrty to do anything in thematter. In any case the friends ot MajorStrange did not certainly consult tiiowishes of the great Hemocra'.ie party, andoonseiiient!y should not, and cannot ex-pect its support.

"Fair Play's" remarks respecting Mr.Reilly are very wtak and hollow. Withregard to Mr. Loagtie's making his clerkscomfortable for Hie, just Isstause he didwell hlmserf, It is an iden that would bevery popular wilh all employees, audwhen "1'ront Street" acts up to it himself,then it will bo time anoni'li for him toexpect Mr. Loague, for whom he apparent-ly enteriidus no very exalted opinion, todo likewis". Neither does any one iuia- -

iyluties without adequate reward. Nor areany such whimsical grounds which couldbe found only with one of "Fair Play's"cultivated imagination placed before thepublic as reasons of Mr. Reilly's capacityfor the office. He was nominated simplybecause be is known to be honest, cApnblo,gentlemanly, e.itentive and obliging,well acquainted with all the detailsof the office, a matter no' obtain-able iu Less lhau a year, aud iu ad-dition to this because be waspopular with the Democratic party. Audlie was not nominate 1 because he is auIrishman; or.as ''FairPlay" has it, ti'iitaaIrishman, while he stated lhat Mr. Loaguenone, vv ho cares whether he was or jsof foreign blrtb, except bigots? Is he notan American citizen by : Constitution

for aud signed by bis countrymeu,!o were nio foreign bom ias tint

man of foreign blctij right to office aswell as " Fair Play ?'T Doei not the old Cou-stituti-

so assert?I totally object to the words Irishman,

Gorman, or Frenchman, being introducedtor or against office.

Iu conclusion, I have vet to learn whatIs meant by "Fair Play's'' allusion to "un-reasonable deuiands ""on the part of Irish-men iu this cit v. When did Irish men de-mand Mr. Reilly's nomination? Never.But they will demand it, now that such aquestion U raised, and that nationality lamade a lest of not eligibility. Thsy havea right to do so; for why should iheircountrymen, as such, be objected lo iufavor of any Independent candidate?They have always been faithful Dsnio- -

crate. They have never held aloof iu athreatening attilude, to fall in with themost favorable pirtv.

But, although " magnanimous," Irish-men are also nigh-spirite- and ready toresent a slur or stigma on their national-ity; hence it is unwise, and, mayhap, un-safe to the whole ticket, to act In the pre-judiced manner indicated bv' the support-er- a

of Mr. Strange. JL'STICK.

Concert. The grand vocal and instrn-meut- al

concert to bo given by the Ger-man Casino, Gexangrfi ein, on Wednes-day, tho i'Sd inst., bids fair to be one oftho most delightful and enjoyable affnirof the aort ever given in Memphis. Thepmi;r.imiiio embraces some of the verypearls of song, and the high character ofthose engaged in tho affair is a guaranteethat surety thing wtD he managed in thevery Ijest II1Snil fir The object of the as-

sociation is purely charitable. Hnd allthone who wish to "enjoy good ninsic, anilat tho nne time to eontribute to a goodcause, cannot do better than to invest :i

dollar in the concert. We understandthat Miss Wilkorson, Mesr. ProfessorsSebatsky, Seyfert, Schmidt, Kink and theCasino choir, consisting of twenty-tw- o

singers, wiil be present, and " take ahand" iu the evening's entertainment.

The Tiif.ater was not as well patron-ized last night as we could wish. The billwas a good one, and, as usnul with thecompany now occupying our cozy littlestage, it was well and admirably performed. Miss Titian v left nothing to liedesired, and Johnny Thompson provedhimseir an that the most favorable of bisfriends have claimed for him. The billfor the matinee y is one thuttoughtto till the house in every part. Look tothe advertising columns on our tirsl page,and be sure to attend. Tho bill for to-night is also very attractive, and will, wehope, attract a full honse. The manage-ment of the Theater Shave done all thatwas possible to make this season a mem-orable onfl in the theatrical annuls of ourcity, and they should be supported to thoutmost of the means of our theater-goin- g

THE NICOLSOW PAVEMENT. '

Eiliton Appeal The surface of onrroads and streets will form a becomin:;subject lor a space In this paper, aud it lato be hoped they will be examined close-ly, for it may bo presumed there will notlie another fool of Montana pavement laid

i

in Memphis; aud since this is decayingrapidly, and the old system of gravelinghas p issed away, the next ntssattaa is,what is to succeed these different systemsto give us permanent and healthy thor-oughfares.

It is thought by a great many of oarpeople that If tho blocks bad beeu boiledin tar tbat it would have made a good andpermanent pavement. This is all illusive.We believe tbat ibe use of wood fiber forstreets is a great mistake, iu any shape orcondition whatever. For instance, lakesblock of wood aud cast it into a kettle ofhot tar; it is thought that the tar will per-meate to tbe center, but the truth is thatas soon us the latent sap.eveu in tolerablyseasoned wood, feeia the heated tar it ex-pands and keeps '.he tar from penetratingthe block.

But let us give wood fiber the fairesttrial; let it be put in an air-tig- cylinder,and by means of a poer steam en-gine, every particle of the sap sucked outby inoaus of a powerful vacuum. In thisstate a powerful mixture of corrosivesublimate is turued iu upon it. and with aBrninah forcing pump forced i'Uo. the'wood, and the pressure uoollc.l untilevery part of the timber is saturated tous cenirr.

Now, corrosive sublimate, or the salts ofmercury, is tho most ;'erfeot auticeptic orpreservitig medium kuowu to the arts.1'ar bears no comparison beside this pow-erful agent. What are the lessons to oedrawn from the above? They are, thatwhile prepared timber will do good ser-vice in latitudes where the thermometerwill not exceed fifty or sixty degrees, inother climates, where the thermometerthat rauges aay eighty degrees Fahren-heit,

j

will decay rapidly nuder the etfectsof the combined agent's of heat aud mois-ture. The advocates of wooden pave-ments, and those that hyive btirtat pocket-book- s,

and pay heavy taxes, better shakooff the film that covers their eves, am!look to the practical workings of t i

a little more closely, and not concludetat while tMugs work well in EnglandFrance, and Chicago, or even Xew York'the same1 things will always work-we- il in

t
