A narrow escape from r.ro waxexperlettoedmorning in tbe store of Pease
grocery', on Front street. The sillnext t.e ..replace caught lire and burnednearly to a blaze. A few hucketaol water sudsome incitement soon extinguished the tireand relieved the people concerned of all ap-
prehension. Two firemen arrived and exam-ined the premises, and found that everythingwas all safe after the Ignited spot had beencooled down.
-- A correspondent says that "the finest speci-mens of forensic eloquence ever uttered InMemphis were speeches made In the Gravescase. 11 is aaid that Mr. McBae's argumenttrails fsullleas in logical construction aslnllstasteful rhetoric John F. Sale did the hardwork, and was the manager of the delense.To these two Mr. Grave owes his acqnlttal, aswe are told. The attorney-gener- tailed onlyIn effecting a conviction. He and his adju-vants were wanting l n nothing save In triumphover lmposslbiliiua.''
The falrat rtocco hall last night was crowd-ed with ladlesand gentlemen. Numerous ad-1- 1
11 nus were made to the stock npon the ta-llies, and considerable excitement was shownIn th voting 'or the gold watch and theIiuncb-bow- l. The fair Is the only place In thecity now, except the lbeater, where anyamusement is to be found. This is the princi-pal cause of the rush last ntghL The musicand dancing, which unndertheefflclent man-agement of Mr. McKeon, is also a great attrac-tion.

branch to extend Uiat to Jackson at .i
and that some concert should be bad to tbatend bv the parties interested; or both roads

cerned showld be given ana urged to this sub-
ject, as otberwtMM It would be useless to Incurfurther tronble or harass the people with ex-
pectations in regnxfd to either road. It Is letterto wm s safely and wisely than fruit 'easly oror mahlv.
rtecond Tbe line from Somervllle or theabove luncUon to Memphis ought to be earlysettled, so tbat tbe energies of the people maybe applied to a settled Una, and so tbat nolieartburnlngsor onmpialnl of duplicity maybe made. Doubtlessly, considerate men andenglneMra, with tbe map before them, andwith auy knowledge at all of tbe country, canhave little difficulty aa to tbe proper generalronte from Memphis to .somervllle ; for theroad. If intended or needed for any purjtoMe atalt, should supply and answer the railroadwants of the people and ixmntry concerned.Tbe map shows a large and wealthy country
etweeii the Memphis and Charleston and theMe up his aad Louisville roads, or thewaters of Wolf and Hatch ie rivers. Theseroads run. generally, with those rivers re-
spectively. The new road shou.d not runalong with either of those roads or streams,therefore, unless the wants and business of thecountry along either demand it, aa nobody Is
foolish enough to think. Neither the IjOuIs-vll- le
nor Charleston road has heretofore sus-tained itself. Tbe one, after being leased, hasnow sold Itself, and the other is about to dothe sane thing, In efleet: and both furnish,and are desirous, to supply, all necetaary war tsalong their lines. How ridiculoua would betbe Idea of running this new road by Bartleiton the north or Gsr man town on the south!What profit could result? What bat ex-
pense, from such occupation, jointly, ot a:errltory which the existing roails are morethan able to accommodate? The new road, em
a railroad, thus run, would not pay the cost olthe lubricating oil. It would be wholly uae-,-s-
in lbe meantime there Is a fine, richcountry Intermediate and on the direct line,and needing and well able to support railroadfacilities, and to help build the road. See the
d country from Mempbls toColonel Clayton and thence, crossiug Wolfriver at right angles, to Fishervllle; andthence by or near line: ' to Somen iUe or theabove junction! it will he observed that,treatise Wolf river and its hottcm seperate
this fine highland country from tbe Charlestonroad, it is almost entirely without railroadfacilities. It la comparatively mmote fromeither rood, and if the middle loute be notadopted. It will he readily conceded thai i heconnection west of Somervllle with MempbUneed only le by tbe oa- - or other of the exist-ing roads 'named the Lou-viR-e or .'bar lesion L
and that the vast amount of unn.cessary outwould be thus saved to tbe people and lbeompanle.1 concerned. But an latorraedtaie
road ought to be built and would pay, and noother can ie built or would pay oven for oper-ating it this side of Somervllle, Steer clear,then, or the Louisville and Charleston roadsalike, so far as possible, if It is Intended toaccommodate the country and socure a largebusiness for the road, a buslotsvi worth a! leastan hundred thousand dollars annually morethen It tbe road abould be run within theimmediate influence of either of these roads.

In answer to Colonel itutiock. she ilthat tier husband kept tbe ferry over Wolfriver, beyond i lielsea ; he told nor husbandthat tho only way to hat e peace was to have aseparation between his wife; yesterday morning, wrier ne was preparing iocome in, he ooatd, "Nov.

Qneetlon -- Did you ever know Joa to bear.rested ior beating bis wile?
i never i.now him to be arrosteaonly once for beating her. I u all the attempt-ed settlements, Mr- -. .Musso was the eaceabl- -
party ; the object we had In coming m yester-day waa to have a peaceable settlement; wewanted to settle it with lairyers. To olonelimllocki I think you would settle it. Herfather said he must come up to the scratch.
This finished the testimony of .Mrs. Grovea,and ihejury moved back Into the room whereMr. Grovea lay dead, and proceeded, alterwsltlng half an hour, to examine Mrs. iraclt.
Mrs. Hock, In answer to questions pat toher by Coroner Moflait, sold tbat she . ed attbe corner of Poplar street and Qulnby ave-nue; knew Groveaoiuoo she was a child; knewMnsso several years; was In his store Thurs-day eve dag, between four and five o'clock;after that saw Groves gulng there- - be did nuttell me be was going, bat I stopped and talkedto blm and told him not to go. becausi, i.:.s -
woa prepared for blm ; I said 1 woopassing there, and Mrs. Musso called me in;obe showed me the marks of violence ho badindicted upon her: mm I woo going to leave tbestore, Musso ran out and said to Tils wife,"lfyour father cornea,! am prepared for him.t. What caused him to soy this?
A He oold some one hod told him he woocoming, and he was prepared for him; I mere-ly told Groves not to go there, hiswas much excited, and I wss afraid somethingwas going to happen to hint; he appeared ex-cited, ana moved oft; .Mr. Musso told me I'dbe mixed up In the affair If I stayed.
Mrs. Hock's teoUmony concluded here, andMr. John Grehan was examined. Ho saidthat Ihe night before the day uf the shooUngMr. Mu-s- o went to his store, which is In tbaneighborhood, and said,
"HONEY AND I CANT AGREE;We cant get along together. I want yon togo over there and tlx things.

A youngman named Mahony cant after me in themorning, and sold Joe wanted to see me. 1
was eating my breakfast, and my wife re-marked: 'Yes: tbey are fussing again; I willgo over too." We went over to the store. Theywanted ine to see uuiunei nuiiocx. i wentdown town during the day, and had a conver-sation with llullock, and made some arrange-ments.

lign t company ileal re to declare. In an authoritative manner, the future policy of their company In regard to the sale of gas :
our company la poMseoaed of the most complete and ample appurtenances neoessary forthe manufacture and distribution of an adequate supply of iiluminating gas for the cityol Memphis, the right to vend which we claimaa an exclusive and vested right, .n additionto the extensive works for the max ulacture ofcoal gas, we have in operation a,rsraTus tori nan uXaclurlng gas frum naptha. under tbeuioccus secured by the Rand i Gale patent.Ily this method (owned and controlled en-tirely by us;, an illuminating gas Is manufac-tured by our company superior to that whichany other company can manufacture in thisetty, by from fifty to one hundred per cent.This Is a fact which will become patent toevery gas consumer of tbe city should anothercompany enter Into competition wlLh us.Within the present week an Improvement hat....mi made at our works which will forever

We do not propose to lose oconsumer on aceonntof mice. Should another company commence to sell gas at a price lower than the rotefixed bv this company, we will at once reduceour rate lo a point fifty cento per thousandcubic feet lower than the amount fixed uponby such other company, and will keep de--mi ndiniT !u be same ratio.
V- - e would remind the public that we desireno assurances or guarautleo on tho port of oarconsumers, as we believe that whenever mat-ters com- - to open competition, the superiorityof the light offered by this company, to saynothing of Inducements tn price, will recure acontinuance uf the patronage it has so longetj'tyeda
it is made the imperative duty of every offlcer and employe of this company to paystrict attention tu the wants and reqmrementsof onr patrons, and any lack of courtesy orneglect ol complaiais will subject the onenderto severe rebuke or prompt rAUmiaaai from our
