Lew Smith, who was brought up bere yesterday on a requisition from Metropolis by Officer Hoyer, was arraigned in the police court for grand larceny and house breaking this morning. The first case was for stealing from Mr Julan Greer’s grocery, and the other case was for he burglary of Mr. Clements’ store at Tolu. Crittenden county. The defendant was represented by Judge Campbell, of this city, and Judge B. O. Jones, of Metrorolis. They wanted to waive examination, but Marshal Collins objected because there was evidence he wanted to get now. Judge Sanders continued the case until Monday. A case against Will Hamilton for receiving stolen goods, and also one against Mrs. Charity for the same offense, were also continue until Monday. The woman was recog- nized in the sum of $300 for her appearance to answer Monday. The case against Wm. Martin, colored, who was arrested Louis- ville and brought here yesterday afternoon by Officer Joe Bouteilier, of that place, was left open for more evidence. The accused was arrested for cutting Ed Castleman on the New South here last week, and claims that Castleman was advane- ing towards him with a knife when he cut him. C. A. Grimes, the youth charged with calling Robt, Oakley names, was fined $5 and costs. TAKE NOVICE! Now is the time to make con- tracts for sewer connections.

Councilman Fowler and Dr. Robert- son, however, who have been strong Postlewaite men and would doubt- less support the city engineer no mat- ter what he did, in preference to rep- resenting their constituency, did not like the idea a bit, and Capt. Fowler weol's» far as tosay afew naughty things that would sound im- proper in Sunday school, and the Mayor was forced to call him down tell him he was outof order. Some of the Postlewaite gang were beside themselves with impotent rage, apparently, a least, and when the mo- tion to rescind the former action was put it carried by a vote of 7 to 5. The Postlewaite gang was then convinced that it was all over with them, and when a motion was finally put to instruct the sewerage commit- tee to employ Mr. Lyon, the deposed engineer, it was carried by the same vote, namely: Mes: Jones, Elliot, Smith, Wio- stead, Ezell, Clark and Jackson, for the election of Mr. Lyon as assistant engineer. Messrs. Johnson, Eades, Fowler Robertson and Davis voted against it. Mr. Postlewaite has threatened to resign in case Mr. Lyon was rein- stated, and it remains to be seen if he will now do it, {tis evident from last night’s action that his course in the profile muddle has not set well on the stomachs of at least two of the councilmen, and should he iesign, his resignation would doubtless be accepted.

C. were in arude pire box, and there was a large crowd at the depot, com- posed principally of colored people Additional particulars of the lynch. ing are that young Garner, who was shoved off the train, did not identify Mitchell, simply saying that the man who shoved him off was the head brakeman, It was on this that he was strung up After being caught by the mob, Mitchell was led out of town by the mob, and pulled up on the rope. In some way he got his hands loose, and climbed up to a limb. He was shot off by the desperadoes, and fell limp and dead, riddled with bullets. Mitchell was Conductor Foster's head brakman, and was a member of the colored Odd Fellows bere. One of his arms was shot almost off, and neck was 80 mutilated that it had to be enclosed in plaster of paris to hold his head on, Of the young man Garner, an ex- change says: Henry Garner was 1% years of age and well and favorably known, LHe was only recently married to one of Rives’ most charming and beautiful LOOK PRICES Elsewhere in this from tit rN NOW'S THE TIME 0 BUY ScreenJDoors, Screen Windows Cream Freezers, Hammocks, Refrigerators, Lawn Swings, Ice Picks, Ice Shredders, Water Coolers.

HOW E Epidemics born of unsanitary con- ditions will reach the well appointed home as well as the hovel. The time to stop epidemics is now with us and always with us, Eternal vigilance is the price of immunity, and by well- directed effort only can we guard against these conditions so inimical to the public welfare. Asickly and diseased population engenders and propogates vice and crime. THe CRIMINAL’S NURSERY 18 INTHE UNSANITARY QUARTER OF EVERY FAIR- sizep erry. Clean out, tear down every unsao- itary building for the general good ; in this the city’s power should be ab- solute and beyond e: Foreign ions have taken action in their and have spent millions in raz- ing to the ground disease-breeding quarters, and putting in their place model terement houses. The de- crease in sickness, vice and crime ple proof of the value and wisdom of these undertakings. We of thi ly of increasing pop- ulation cannot afford <> ignore the lessons tanght us by the older cities. Their remedies, if heroic, have been forced upon them after years of pal- liative efforts, The inevitable will come to us it we ignore the lesson of their action—s lesson burn of expe- rience. Our building laws and sanitary of- dinances should be so intelligently administered that every invention and discovery of better methods may be utilized for the publis good and public benefit, while those charged with their administration should have that practical knowledge necessary to successfully administer advice, and co-operate with the citizen who seeks relief at the hands of the health de- partment. Our duty, having the welfare of the community at heart, should be to promote the welfare of the common man, to make the miserable tess wretched, and to make a Tittle more comfortable those who are disio- herited of this world’s goods. We can all, nO matter what our station in life, do something to add to the sum of hawan happiness, to smooth the way for misfortune and poverty, It is said our country is the paradise of the rich. It should be our duty to see that it does not become the purgatory of the poor. We can all aid, citizens and officials, in doing something to make the life of all: our citizens, especially the poorest’ of them, somewhat better, nobler, greater and happier, As we sew we shall reap, and if something is not done to prevent the present condition of the whole south, epidemics will prevail and malaria will always be in the air, What we need is a de- IS STILL AT LARGE.

The dastardly assailant of Mrs. Lee Stanley has not yet been capt- ured, and it begins to look like be has escaped. Vosses of determined men avail. Mrs. Stanley was this afternoon reported as getting along nicely, with good chances fur recovery. Additional particulars of the bratal assault are that the negro entered the house with « pistol in his band, having previously ascertained, no doubt, that she was alone. He ordered her to give him all the money in the house, saying that if she did as he demanded she would uot be molested. She went into the next room and got about $1.50 and gave him that, and he then ordered her to go into the kitchen and get him some dioner, It was then that he drew a chair on ber and threatened to take a Winchester rifle that stood in the room and blow ber head off. He then said he believed it would be best to kill her, and seized a knife and began cutting her. She had already taken the chair away from him, and by this time realized that be intended to kill her. She began screaming, and at the same time fighting him off. It was this junctare that her little sister- in-law arrived and beard ber screams. The negro, fearing capture, then drew « pistol and shot her, whe ball lodging in her forehead, and passing out near the temple, After she fell he shot her in the back, but she neyer lost consciousness, and was half way to her father-in-law's house when met by her husband. The negro had escaped by this time, He was described as @ black negro witb chin whiskers, wore a brown cap and brown coat.
