GEORGE E. SCHOOLEY.


The Missing Money Clerk OF the
Adams and SOuthetn Express
COmpnntea Arrested Full Par
tioulars of His Flight and cap
Nashville Banner, 6th,l
Our readers will remember that on the
10th Of April, George Il. Schooley,
money clerk Of the Adams and Southern
Express Companies, Of this city, OBJ
tanned leave of absence from j.. l.. Hop
kins, resident agent, to visit his wife,
who he said was sick al her fathers
residence in Louisville. He promised
to return Monday morning, but did not.
His absence gave rise to a suspicion
that he had deianlted. His books were
examined, and found correct. Il was
discovered, however, that a package
containing $4,000 had been sent to the
office by the Third National Bank, and
could not be found. 1t was then known
that Sehooley had stolen the money and
decamped.
His wife arrived in Nashville two or
three days efter this discovery, and in.
formed Mr.. Hopkins that her husband
had told her that he was going to Kansas
to work for j. NJ. Thatcher, Hopkins
predecessor.
kilograms were sent all over the
country, but nothing was heard from the
missing fugitive until noon to-day, when
a dispatch was received by Hopkins from
j. H. Rhodes, superintendent, at Gin
%cinnati, stating that Schooley had been
captured and was en- route for Nashville.
The Telegram did not state where
schooley had been arrested, but the gen
eral suppositiOn is that he was arrested
in Canada.
he will probably reach this city by
Monday. and be called upon TO account
for his misdeeds.

Court Of Knox county levied a tax on
tipping license to the tune Of $3.50 for
railroad purposes, and $3.50 for schools,
being an increase Of one huHdred dol
lars for each purpose over the tax here
tofore levied. hermann Stern, whose
license expired Don alter the tax was
fixed, demanded Of the Clerk of the
County Court a renewal Of his license at
the rate previously paid. This the Clerk
refused, but offered to issue license on
payment Of the tax as above specified.
Mr.. Stern paid the additional tax under
protest, and at once sued the Clerk for
the money so paid

length. Judge dali took the case under
Amusement on the argument and briefs
submitted, and some days after delivered
his opinion, resulting as in the court

The case is interesting and important,
involving as it does a question Of reve-
nue., and TO what extent, and hOi0 the
county may assess and collect taxes on
privileges. The case, we learn, will 20
to the present term of the Supreme
Court, where we hope the matter will be
definitely settled, as that is the court of
last resort.
The whole community is anxious that
the Supreme Court shall hear and adju-
dictate this question at this term.
