Memphis Bank Enters • t::. Against
Gambling liou^e.
Memphis. June 22.—A unique suit
was filed yesterday by the Memphis Na
tional bank against Patrick Quin and
others to collect about $1,000 alleged to
have been paid on a forged draft and
lost in the defendant’s gambling estab
lishment.
This is perhaps the first time in the
history of Tennessee where a bank has
entered suit against a gaming house.
The bank paid a draft ostensibly
signed by Major E. D. Smither, pay
master of the United States army,
which was presented by S. A. Byrne,
who turns out to be E. S. Grimmeii, a
crook of renown. After securing the
money the crook lost it in the gambling
house.
The hank claims the money was lost
illegally after being fraudulently se
cured, and that it is entitled to recover.
Byrne has been convicted in the cele
brated commissary case in California
and is doing time in the penitentiary.

absorbing topic of conversation in that
trade. But it is still largely a mystery,
and no two men have the same idea of

kind of a combine is being attempted, if
anv at all. This much, however, is a
fact: the Virginia and Carolina Chemi

fertilizer company, which uses cotton
seed meal largely for its ammonia in
manufacturing its phosphates, instead
of blood, bought the Atlantic Cotton Oil
company of Sumter, b. C., about 10

finery, aud has also bought the Iuter-
state company of Georgia, which is a
good sized company, but not so large as

There is more caiarrn In this section of the
country than ail other diseases put together,
and until thelast lew years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease, and pre
scribed local remedies, and by constanti
failing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore reauires constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con
stitutional cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

A Perilous Voyage From
to Florida.
Jacksonville, Fla., June 22.—A lit
tle craft, the sole occupants of which
are a hardy Scandinavian seaman, John
son by name, "nd his 12-year-old son,
has left Gibraltar for Florida.
The boat is only 29j£ feet long, with
a beam of 7>k feet and a maximum
draught of 3 feet. She carries a main
sail, with a gaff topsail, spinnaker and
staysail.
Given reasonable luck, the intrepid
crew hope to make the passage in £0
days, but they have victualed tfiem-
selves,for an additional three weeks in
order to guard against accidents.
The tiny craft’s safety is well pro
vided for by a large stock of oil with
which to break the force of any angry
seas it may encounter, while she is still
further steadied by a heavy false keel
containing some 675 pounds of lead.
The subject of open boat voyage has
always had a fascination for the Scandi-
navian tuiiia.
