—It ia in novels, says ths American, and
not in every day life we hoar of a woman
with two husbands. Them is ono in Nash
ville, snd her name-as she gives it now,
Annie Morbley. Bhe yesterday filed with the
Circuit Court Clerk a petition for a divorce
from one of her husbands, John Stokes.
The way it happened is this: In 1889, she
married John Stokes, who lived with her
about a year, and being infatuated with sol*
dler life ho j eined tho srmy, and has for the
past nlno years been traveling out West with
the army. His wife never heard from him
after he left. Believing that ho had been
killed, and aftor waiting for fire years she
was wooed and won by ono Morbley with
whom she now lives. Last week Stokes re
turned to Nashville, and was much surpilaed
to see tho turn things hal taken. Stokes
wanted his wife, bni she preferred to live
with Morbley and ebo filed tho bi’l for a

—Mr. Sprague, says the Washington Post,
now manifesto a disposition to hold Senstor

sayings and doings with reference to his
wife. Still, at the point of ths shot-gnn, he
now proposes to demand a certificate of
good character for Mrs. Spragae at the fes
tive Bosoce’s own hands. Tnero would seem
to be no reason why Mr. Oonkling should
not se'ss this opportunity to crawl out of
his aad dilemma with some little reputation
left, with eagerness, exespt that of natural
aversion to the somewhat peremptory man
ner in which the chance is presented him.
Pet, as he has played the coward in tbo most
conspicuous way twice already this year,
there ia really no excajoto doubt that he
will oveutually decide to entei the same role
fa tho present instsnoo. If Mr. Sprague in
sists, Mrs. Spragae will probably be famish

—Tho Sydney CN. 8- W.) correspondent of

close personal observation of oar precise

Ceuta and Jap.n Tho secret of much of
the distinguished recaption which both the
Chincss and ths Japanese governments have
extended to Gan. Grant, says the Baltimore
Ena, is revealed in the fact that thoaepowers
are likely to go to war with ono another
upon tho question of tho ownorahip of the
Loo-choo islands. Theso islanders have
long maintained a sort of semi-Indspandence
under tho joint protection of China and
Japan, paying tribute to both. BeoenUy
the Japanese have taken possession of the
Island?, established a new form of adminis
tration, and notified China that hereafter no
tribute would be paid. The Emperor of
China and the Tsung-li-Tamen have advised
Japan that this is a violation of an estab-
lished understanding and an invasion of
light which will notbs submitted to, and
both powers are evidently preparing for war
tad strengthsn'ag their navies with persist
ent industry. Tho supposed weight of Gen.
Grant's good offlQM, in the meantime, bavo
been what both governments have baen en
deavoring to secure, with a vague Oriental
idea that by courting him the friendly dispo
sition of the United States might In some
way be secured.

peril In Memphis,
Memphis is In a perilous condition.
She has, as we suppose, a white popula
tion of three to four thousand of all
sorts, and a negro population of at leaBt
sixteen thousand, many of them refagees
from plantation labor in quest of free ra
tions. She is a city of vaoant ware
houses, stores, ahop3 and dwelling, and
all depositories of valuable goods, fnrnl-
tare, eto., necessarily without any polioe
protection adequate to the emergency.
Meanwhile, under the direction of the
State Board of Health, and as a matter
ot transparently wisa precaution, It has
been determined not to ieene rations in
the city. If this floating and destitute
population will go into the camps pre«
pared for them, they will bo fed and oth
erwise provided for; but as a sanitary
measure, it is indispensable that the in
fected city 6hall be emptied of its popu
lation as nearly as possible. Bat this
population refuses to leave the city, and
demands rations under violent mnnaoes
of helping themselves by the strong arm,
if rations are longer withheld. On the
other hand, the whites and orderly ne«
gross are strengthening the military
and police force, as fas’ as they can, and
preparing themselves for a very possible
ollision.
There seems to bo altogether too good
a chance for trouble. The temptation to
violence is strong. The opportunities for
a successful raid on a large scale are un
doubted. Some robberies and incendiary
fires have already been accomplished, and
a judicious use of the torch coupled with
lively hostilities by a largely eupeior fores
of vagrant and disorderly negroes might
well give the champions of law and order
more work than they could conveniently
do; while,unfortunately,outside reinforce
ments would bo with the plunderers. The
situation is awkward and dangerous.
The Growing Cotton Crop.
Cotton his bean hardening within the
past few diy3 in Liverpool, probably un
der ths icflaenc9 of mere reasonable
opinions in relation to th9 probable
magnitude or tho growing orop. For
reasons uni u>va to as, it seems to have
been gen.r.lly assumed that a *'phenome
nal'’ orop is a thing certain, whereas few
conditions exist to warrant the expecta
tion of even an average crop. Those no
toriously nnpropitioas era the oontinned
wet waather—Iha backwardness of ths
plant, and the prevalence of rnst and cat
erpillar, particularly in the mist produc
tive regions.
We think tho fond expectations of a
largo orop must soon ba dispelled, and
prices reaot a little. The crop cannot b9
large, and may well bs very considerably
diminished from that of last year.
A Ktnurkahts HJDsrvv* m»—tor
In the great AUantio coast storm or
last Sunday night end Monday morning,
tho Atlantic Hotel, at Beaufort, N. C.,
was partially submerged, and finally
dashed to pieoes. A correspondent of the
Wilmington Review, giving an account of
it, say?, the storm had been brewing all
Sanday, and bnrat upon them about 9
o’clock Sanday night. It grew stronger
and stronger until about 4 o’clock in the
morning, when it wa3 at its highest.
Mr. Williams retired abont 2 o’clock, and
abont 3 o’clock some one awoke him
saying he should not lose the grandeur ol!
the storm. At that time the water was
within two and a half feet of the piazza
on tho first flior.
After looking around and taking in the
situation,he repaired to the room doors of
the ladies in his party, and told them to
get np, and then went through the house
waking the other guests. He again went
down etaire, and found that tho tide had
risen very rapidly, and that the water
was then abint waist deep on the first
floor of the building. Hurrying back to
the Bleeping apartments of the ladies, he
found that they had only partly dreBeed
themselves bat harried them oat as soon
aa possible. Some ran oat in wrappers,
others barefc it, none of them carrying
anything more than what they had on.
It was a rush for life, and no time for
gathering clothing, jewelry or soavenirs.
They were plaoed in the billiard room,
some distance in the rear of the hotel,
when Mr. Williams started back to help
rescue other ladies, and try to save what
little of their property he eonld. Daring
this time the tide had risen from 15 to
20 feet and it was then up to tho second
story windows ot tho building. Just at
this time two young men from Newbern,
Messrs. Guioa and Disosway, were seen
to throw a mattress ont of a third-story
window on the anrging billows below and
then immediately plange into the water.
They gained tho mattress and by its aid
succeeded in making the shore.
The tide was rapidly rising and the
ladies were moved from the billiard room
and as they waded ont tho building euo-
cnmbsd to the fnry of the waves and wind.
Almost immediately afterwards tho At*
lantic Hotel was seen to careen and in a
moment there was notone timber left
standing on the other.
The hotel seems to have been fall of
visitors, all ot whom, bat one, escaped
with their tires in very Imperfect oos-
tnmes, bat with the loss of all their bag
gage. They retreated to tho Ooean Ho
tel, bnt that wa3 soon unroofed and then
the gassts of both bonsos took their
etand on tbo nearest high ground and
watched [the storm till daylight. Bab-
lequently same of ths tranks and valu
ables wore recovered In a depreciated
condition.
Wbitherareyou bound?” said John Moore
as he stood to ths door-way ol his establishment
and aaw his old Iriend Bam Roarers walking

With a perfectly heavenly spire,
And perfect crowd* go there to hear

Was simply a modern mistake.

COTTON CBllP ASPECTS.
TUe Chances for the Flamers
and for the speculators.
The Now Orleans Picayune Bays: Of
late the Southern cotton markets have
broken down, and quotations have been
reduced at a rapid rate. At this season
of the year, especially with quarantine
difficulties impending or actually existing
holders are exposed to local inconvenien
ces, and the business is of such a char
acter as to scarcely afford a basis for quo
tations,the offerings being mainly of small
lots and sales meagro. New crop cotton
has made its appearance in Texas in
larger proportions than was expected.
Thts.is a late orop,and with the pinch for
supplies in Europe, the position depended
upon the extent of receipts at Southern
seaboard markets daring the eaily
months. Earopean spinners would bo in
a very awkward predicament in Octobe T
and November, were the American crop
movement to the seaboard retarded from
any oanse whatever oa account of the
email stock they have left to work on.
The disastrous drought which ha3 oc
curred in Texae, foroing tho plant to pre
mature development and furnishing ear
ly cotton for the market, though great
ly reducing the ultimate yield, whioh
must tell seriously on the final crop ont*
turn in a State producing so larag a per
centage of the aggregate growth of
ket. Toes fay’s receipts of 452 bales ot
new crop at Galveston set the New York
sharpers to calculating, and 25.0C0
was figured as the amount of new cotton
that port wonld furnish daring the month
of Augast. The subsequent day’s small
receipts caused a rally, and yesterday’s
figures a relapse. As it is now a ques
tion of “bales," and ths speculators fear
the aolnil staple, though'in imagina
tion they handle so many millions of it,
tho prospect of early cotton has causac
demoralization. However, we are far
from thinking that planters aro to be
prejudiced by the (turn the market has
taken. If we start the year with aver
age rates tho result will be more satis
factory to producers.
Last year the bulk of our crop was sold
at or below the cost of production.
Speculators rtoaived the benefit of the
rise a little later on, and manufacturers
were helpsd over a very trying period.
This season wo are likely to havo a dif
ferent order of things. The world’s sur
plus supply of cotton, accumulated dur
ing tho palmy daye of Indian acd Brazil
ian production, has been swept away, and
we shall start tbo now year with scanty
stocks m Europe, and a demand sufficient
to absorb a large American crop that wo
are likely to furnieh. Fiom tho planting
season to the present time the American
crop has fared worse than last season
The small increase in acreage has been
far more than counterbalanced by the
leas favorable condition, and as we enter
upon tho critiosl period, that of picking,
the conditions are again changing for ‘.he
worse ia comparison with last year. - Tho
old proverb, “A dry season for a good
cotton crop,” like all other proverbs, is
only half a truth. A dry spring is too
apt to be followed by a wet autumn.

“I should think wo were going neatly a

«A mile a minute?'* said Fraser. “J
doubt if you ever rode a mile a minute.
Few locomotives have driving wheels over
five feet, and I have my doubts whether
a five foot wheeler can bo pushed a mile
a minute. People have a very errone jns
idea of the speed of railway trains. We
are not going sew more than thirty.five
miles an honr, and this is very fast. Few
tra'ns make this speed. The passengers

The breath would actually be blown out

to an old engineer of that rate having
been made by a passenger tram, and
he wonld laugh. I made a mile a min
ute once, however. It was when I was
bnt 18 years of age, I was an engineer
then, in charge of a fine six foot-wheel
locomotive. There were a lot of railroad

make the best time we could. They

was the fastest I ever rode, before or

In 1865 the impoverished Secretary of Stato

of the Confederasy and the dispersion or its

residence in Paris, giving therefor 3J0,i

THE NAVAL CADETSHIP.
The Appointment mill Undecided.
The Board of Examiners were engaged
yesterday in examining the papers of
the applicants for tbs naval cadetship,
submitted at the competitive examina
tion held on Thursday last. Their deri
sion np to last night was not made, as
their labors had not ended.
The claas which has jnst passed tbe
examination ordeal is one of the bright
est that has ever contested for the posi
tion. It is pronounced by Vi-nfppaoc W,
M. Williams, who has been engaged as
a member of the Board of Examiners in
a number of these contests, prononnees
the present class the best that ever ap
peared before him.
The labor reqnired of the members of
the Board are very great, involving the
grading of the qnestions prepared by
themselves first, and then grading, one
by one, the answers submitted by tbe
candidates. There has been nearly a
ream of legal cap written by the appli
cants. It is tbonght, from the revela
tions of tbe papers so far examined, tba*
the oonlest will be close between many
of the young men. The oommittee will
not know the name of the sncoessfal
competitor nntil a derision has been
reaohed, and the sealed envelopes con
taining the names of the contestants are
opened.
The interest in tho city iB quite gener
al, as many of the bays applying
have many friends who are anxious for
their Bnccess. We regret. that each ono
could not receive an appointment and
that nine are doomed to disappointment.
The decision of the board will be reechcd
on to-morrow afternoon or evening.
COUNTY COURT;
Tits Corn Thief Sentenced.
Yesterday, in tho County Ccnrt, the
case of the Stato against Lewis Bryan,
tho darkey who was arreBted on last
Thursday for stealing corn from his em
ployer, Mr. J. F. Binfield, was tried. The
evidence fully sustained the report el-
ready made of the case, and the gnilt of
the darkey was very olearly and conclm
sivoly proven. Mr. Barfield prosecuted
the ease. The circumstances, as detail
ed from the witness stand, showed thBt
the dray load of oorn was driven into tbe
alley nonnesting Fourth acd Fifth etrcetB,
near Plam, and those tho theft wu3 com
mitted.
Judge Holt, after hearing the c-ie,
sentenced Bryan to pay a fine of one
hundred dollars or to serve on the chain-
gang of the county eleven months. It is
probable ho will be forced to oboosethe
latter alternative and contribute his ser.
vices to tho county for the above men
tioned length of time. Thq amount of
stealage from Mr. Barfield by the drayi
man cannot be estimated as he has been
in his employ some time.
Another case, rather singular than
otherwise, was disposed of. It came np
from tho Rutland diatriot and was againBt
a colored man by tho dame of Ben Pat
terson, tbe warrant charging him with
“turning a woman ont of doors.”
It seems some time since he compelled
hia wife t • leave his house. A warrant
was taken out against him for the offense
as stated above. As no offense of that
description is laid down by the code
Judge Holt dismissed the proceedings
without going into the evidence and sent
the prisoner on his way rejoicing.
An Escaped Cunrict Captured.
Yesterday evening there arrived in the
city Mr. J. E. Daokwortb, one of the
guards of the convict camp of Colonel C.
B. Howard, of Everett station, in charge
of Jim Walker, a colored convict who cs
caped two weeks since. He was captur
ed abont two and a half miles of Zebu
Ion, in Pike connty, on Thursday about
2 o’clcck, In the afternc on.
Walker escaped hith two others a* out
two weeks sioce from the field in whioh
they wo 10 wn.k.ng. Tue dogs were im-
mediately pat on their track and ever*
took them. They however, captured the
blotdconcds by feeding to them a portion
of their o#n food which had been left
over at their last meal, and reserved for
this purpose. Mr. Dackwortb bs3 been
on the traok of Walker ever sinoo, and
only succeeded in overtaking him at the
time mentioned.
He was kuownby them me of Bill
Adeti. When he saw ibat he wa3 abont
to be captured ho drew a knife and then
ran, foroing the gusrd to shoot him twice,
both shots taking tffeot in his hips near
the small of his back. Vy to last efening
neither of the balls had been extracted,
the wounds nit giving maoh Dain, and
the darkoy reqae3’.ing thst no attention
be paid them until be reaohed the
camps.
The prisoner was lodged in the connty
jail, was well oared for last night and
will be carried on to-day. Ho is a convict
from Crawford connty sent np for seven
years and bad served bnt two months of
his time. List evening he scorned very

Oa Friday night there was, wo learn,
a good deal ot excitement in Brunswick,
over an attempted assassination of one
of its worthy and wealthy citizen, Mr.
J. Miohealson.
Some weeks since, Mr. Miohealson wop
burned ont by the extensive conflagra
tion, which occurred in that city, and
which was noted in this paper. The
firm of Michealeon & Brother was the
heaviest loser. Sinee the] fire they have
been on a lively lookout for goods stolen
at the fire. The whereabouts of some of
the goodB were discovered, and a. raid
was made on the houses of several white
men of the place, and part of the pilfer
ed stock recovered..
Thia has created a considerable amount
of feeling in certain qnartors.
’On Friday evening as Mr. Miehasison
was leaving his residence, which is in the
center of the city, he was attacked by an
unknown party and dangerously wounded
with a knife, beingBtabb’d in a number
of places. xt thought he would not
live through the night. The excitement
in IBrAnswick .was very great. Three
parties were arrested soon after the cut
ting, on suspicion, bnt it is thought tbe
guilty party escaped.
How to Dlsinfccr,
The following is a simple method of
disinfecting within the reach of all:
Take an old oyater can or other tin box
of convenient size, make two holes in
the upper edge opposite each other, and
throngh them fasten a pieco of wire to
form a handle. Let the wire extend
abont a foot- and a half above the can.
Pat a small quantity of snlphnr into
the can and on the snlphnr poor a little
alcoboL Set the aloohol on fire and let
the enp down into the well or other place
needing disinfection by mean3 of a string
attached to a wire and let it remain
there till the snlphnr barns oat. This
process should be repeated two or three
times a week. The sulphuric arid ga3
generated will effectually destroy every
germ of malaria with which it cimee in
ointact. No one should breathe any of
the fames or gas from tbe snlphnr, and
they should be confined n.3 much as pos
sible to the place being disinfected.
