MEMPHIS EXCURSION TRAINS.
Many Negroes Left Memphis to Avoid
Dire Calamity Prophesied for
Tuesday, March 27.
—
At 1 o’clock Monday afternoon
the first “Fleeing From Mem
! phis” flyer, a special train, car
rying those who feared that on
Tuesday the city will cave in and
be buried in the Mississippi
river, left over the Illinois Cen
tral road for Paducah. The train
consisted of six coaches, four
filled with blacks and two with
whites, and a baggage car, and
early in the day it was apparent
there would be few vacant seats.
Every car was crowded when
the train pulled out promptly on
time.
While most of the passengers
were negroes, there were many
whites on the train when it went
out. Most of these pretended
they had business in Paducah
and simply were taking advant
age of the low rate of $2 for the
round trip. The negroes made
no attempt to conceal the fact
that they were fleeing from the
“destruction,” which, according
to Annie Osborne, is to take
place Tuesday.
All day street cars brought
negroes from various sections of
the city and it was no uncom
mon sight to see three or four of
them walking together through
the streets, carrying big bundles
and telescopes. Some seemed
to be taking all their earthly
possessions with them, while
others were content with smai.
bundles and grips,
i “You can’t tell me there ain’t
i nothin’ in this prophecy,” said a
l tall, lanky man with long, scrag
gly locks. “D’you know what
happened at New Madrid? It
was just sunk in the ground and
there’s a big lake there now.
The tops of some of the taliest
' trees show above the water near
the banks, but nobody ain't
never been able to find the bot
tom where the houses went
down.”
A chorus of groans ar.d hall -
lujahs greeted this remark and
some of the negroes began to
sing.
“I don’t remember that,” said
another white man. "‘When did
that happen?”
“In 1811, sir,” answered the
tail man, ‘‘ana there’s hardly
anybody left to tell the tale.”
No specials were sent out over
the Iron Mountain or Rock Is
land roads. They had special
cars attached to regular trains,
and the excursion tickets were
good only in these cars. The
former road carried about 50 and
the latter about 75 passengers.
Most of these were whites.
A score or more negroes stood
in the drizzle around the Federal
building Monday waiting for the
white dove to appear, as foretold
by Annie Osborne. Neither the
dove nor the yellow dog had ap
peared up to a late hour, but the
negroes called attention to the
fact that it was a dark and cloudy
day, as the seeress predicted.
Col. H. H. Eagle’s Will.
The will of the late Col. H. H.
Eagle, who died at his home in
Little Rock, March 12, has been
admitted to probate at Lonoke,
devising an estate valued at
about $300,000. It was drawn
by the late ex-governor J. P.
TP o nrl Ck r\f fVtO f'OdfQ tVlY*
and witnessed by Gen. W. E.
Atkinson, Hon. Kie Oldham and
Rev. Bane. A codicil was ap
pended naming Miss Bessie
Eagle, his daughter, as one of
of the executors, in place of his
brother, deceased, the others
being Joe P. Eagle of Lonoke
and R. E. L. Eagle of England.
It is provided that each of his
twelve children shall share
equally, and that Mrs. Eagle
shall have $10,000 in cash and
the income from the Gray plan
tation at England for life, sup
porting the minor children out of
the same. The realty and the
personal property is each esti
mated at about $150,000.
Contract for Sprinkling.
The sprinkling of the streets
of this city has never been done
upon any systematic basis. One
man probably paid for a privil
ege that his equally able neigh
bor also enjoyed, and to put all
on the same footing, the water
company this year proposes to
make contracts for the season
from April 16 to November 1
and to sprinkle only those blocks
where the property owners or
renters are willing to subscribe
for the service for that time.
And as stated, unless the people
are willing to get together, there
may be no street sprinkling,
whereas if all pay a proportion
ate rate to the frontage of their
property and guarantee it for
the season by subscribing to
such a contract, general service
may be secured without the cost
falling heavily upon any indi
vidual.
