Several weeks ago Mrs. Sam. Frierson of
Columbia. Tenn, made visit to Alabama,
and while there had watch and lot Of yalu-
able jewelry stolen by unknown persons.
Last Saturday Mr. FrierSOn mentioned the
fact TO Rev. Mr.. BrysOn, of Shelbyville,
who was in Columbia, and the latter told
him he had seen two very suspicious char
acters prowling about Shelbyville, evidently
strangers and without employment. Shortly
after the conversation with Mr.. FriersOn,
Mr.. Bryson happened TO step into the jew
elry store Of Mr.. James, 10 whom he related
the circumstances, as told him in regard 10
the larceny Of the jewelry and watch.
Mr. James stated that he had seen two
strange men only a few minutes before
in his store, and that one Of them had a
watch corresponding in description TO the
one lost by Mrs. FriersOn. An officer was
Immediately informed of the affair and ar
rested the two strangers, on whose persons
was found the watch stolen from Mrs.
Frierson, together with miscellaneous
collection of jewelry and articles supposed
10 have been stolen. All of the jewelry
stolen from Mrs. FriersOn was found in
their possession, except a gold cross. Upon
being asked for the cross one Of the arrest
ed parties drew it from an inside pocket,
where he had il concealed so that it was
not discovered when the officer searched
them and found the other jewelry. The
parties are now confined in jail, and as the
evidence, though Of d circumstantial ma
ture, is quite strong, they will doubtless
visit the peniteutiary.

The services al the Cathedral on Sunday
last were Of an unusually attractive char
acter, whether we consider them in their
devotional, intellectual, or musical charac-
ter. The Grand High Mass, with the
dense throng of worshippers, Of course WAS
the main feature. The sermon was apprO-
pirate, instructive and edifying, even TO the
large number Of Protestant in attendance
The music was solemn aud grand, the six
teen voices harmOnizing beautifully with
the orchestra OF fourteen instruments, and
the sweet and sOul-SiirIiug notes Of the or
gan. Sixtyfolr Of the orphans were in at
tendance, with their "Sister Guardians"
having been brought to the corner Of Cedar
and Cherry streets by the South Nashville
street cars, kindly given giatuitously 10y the
Superintendent, Mr. Thomas Caldwell, for
the occasion.
Speaking of Easter, We should not forget
the little ones in the Sunday School chapel,
where the choir Of fifty or sixty girls and
bows sang beautifully. The altar was taste
fully decorated, and the boys and girls ell
tered into the spirit of this great festival in
a manner truly remarkable in girls and
boys so Young. In fact, the little boys de
serve special commendajiou.

Howell Smith was arrested yesterday af-
ternOoE in the graveyard, back of st. Ceci.
liza Academy, aud is now confined in jail.
He is supposed to be- an accOmplice of Bill
Smith, who shot officer Starke, and has
been absent from the city since the morn
ing Of the shooting. He fed from the city
last Saturday, going in the direction of
Edgefield Junction, and when near Madi-
son Station met two brothers named Fer
gtIsOn, to whom he stated that by mis-
take his name had been connected with
the Smith who shot Starkie and that as he
was innocent he was trying 10 elude arrest
by the police. After making this state
ment he succeeded in getting horse from
one of the brothers and came TO town that
evening. The police aScertained this fact and
went In pursuit Of him after dark but without
success. Since then Smith hasIbeen lodging
around the suburbs Of Edgefield and Nash
Vile, being all the while closely watched by
the police, whose efforts to capture him
would prove quite thrilling story did We
but have space in this connection 10 relate
them. After much maneuVering the
peice came up with him yesterday
afternoon, lurking in the grave
yard near st. CeCiliaS Academy and
succeeded in efiecting his arrest. Smith is
now in jail awaiting an investigating trial
as to his alleged guilt in being an accom-
plice of Bill Smith. While we have heard
much, yet We are unwilling to say he is a
pUrtjceps criminis 10 the shooting Of
Starkie, until proper evidence 10 that effect
be addqCed on trial

YantiOn.


At a meeting of the State Executive
Committee of the Democratic party of Ten
nessee, this day held in Nashville, in ODE
dlence to the call of the Chairman, the fol-
lowing proceedings were had:
Believing that the time has come when
the welfare, not only of our State, but of
the nation, demands that the Democracy Of
Tennessee should take counsel together and
prepare for harmonious action and an intel
ligent and patriotic discharge of their
duty in the approaching contests, both

tive Committee for the State of Tennessee
do therefore, resolve
l. That a Democratic State Convention

May next, to nominate candidate for
Governor, and to take such other steps, In
view of the approaching State and Presi-
Dental elections, as the condition of the
country and the circumstances then exist
ing may suggest; and that to this end we
urge upon the people in the different coun-
ties to assemble at as early times as practi-
cable, in primary meetings, and select suit
able delegates to represent them insaid con-
vention.
2. That recognizing the fact that the
people Of Tennessee have a common inter
est in resisting the entertainments of cen
tralization and preserving a republican gov
eminent, as well as in correcting the cor
ruptions and abuses which have become so
widespread and alarming; ard believing
that upon these great questions there is lit
tie or no material diversity of opinion among
them, we invite a cooperation of all con-
sentative patriots by whatever party name
they may have heretofore been called.

tons a convention of the Democratic party
