With a companion to carry the

$500 prize shotgun on his shoulder
and a copious supply of ammunition,
both solid and liquid, Mr.. Thomas O.

his usual hunt. He is a noted sports

siders himself a fair shot, and was
never known to suffer with the buck

BAKER N FARRoN.

BAKER AND FARRON,
The tuneful and lively comedians,
Baker and Farron, gave another sue
cessful entertainment at Leubrie's
theater last night. Their play Sparkles
with beautiful and amusing songs,
while the drama isfull of perplexities,
which the stars unravel generally in
the shape of being a hero or heroine.
The piece is handsomely mounted; at
least as far as costuming is concerned.
Baker and Farron will appear again
tonight.
M'INTYRE AND HEATH's MINsTRELs,
This troupe of artists closed their
engagement in this city last night to a
moderate attendance. They play at
Jackson, Tenn, tonight. Upon their
arrival at st. Louis some time hence
William Mack, the popular tenor, will
join the company and reinforce the
San Francisco quartette, making it q
quintette.

sassinate the ear were those made by
the young revolutionist Vera Sussul-
Itch in 1873, and the subsequent ef-
fort of the nihilists to blow up the
emperor in the dining room of the
Winter palace. These desperate at
fairs shocked the civilized world, es-
p%eoially as the attempts Of HOdel and
Modelling in Germany to kill the En-
peror William developed the fact that
there was an organized movement,
as in 1913, to kill as many Eu-
ropean kings as possible.
However Americans may OBJ
ject to the governmental abuses in
Russia, and they have been very
at%Iocious, more especially under the
Romanoifs who preceded Alexander
ii, they have no sympathy 1oy the
methods employed by the revolution
lists known as nihilists to produce a
tabula rasa upon which q new govern
ment could be constructed. The
atrocious deed Of yesterday will be
condemned the world over by all peo-
pie who prefer government to anarchy.
The masses of the Russian people
are not in sympathy with nihilists.
That dark anarchism has penetrated
but slightly the peasant masses, who
compose the largest part OF Russia's
population. The Russian people, too,
owe much to the czar, who, since he.
succeeded his father, the Emperor
Nicholas, on March 2. 1855, has shown
himself most earnestly DESTROYS of ad-
vancing the true interests of the peo-
pie aud the country. The history Of
his life proves it.

Exp AsrRAY.
Al ElOpsmsaa and rs Ssausi,

A telegram was received by Chief
Davis yesterday morning:
paris, TENN, March l6.-Arrest
and hold G. w. Crutchield and Miss
S. r. johnson"
A search was at once made and re-
suited in the discovery Of Mr.. Crutch-
field on upper Main street. He was
arrested, and when searched at the
statiohhowe a pistol was found on his
person, besides 1924 in money.
WANDERING.
A rigid search was made for the young
lady, but she was not to be found.
Upon inquiry the police learned she
had arrived in the city last Sunday
morning alone, and lodged at the same
house on Main street. She seemed
nervous and uneasy, and after pacing
the floor all night, in an agitated man
ner announced her intention, on the
following day, to leave. She enQuired
the way to the l.. and N. depot,andleft
the house, saying she was going home
to Paris. She has not been heard Of
since.
A DOUBLE CHASE.
A few hours later Crutchfeld ar
rived, and was dismayed to find the
the young lady had left. After a short
study he concluded not to ask the assis-
lance of the police in the matter, and
began a still hunt for her himself, in
which he wal unsuccessful. Last
night Mr.. w. johnson, the
young lady's brother, arrived
and registered at the Peabody. He
was around at the stationhouse early
this morning and entered a charge Of
grand larceny against Crutchield. He
identified two $50 notes that were
taken from Crutch6eld as his fathers
property, and stated that about $5tO
in all was stolen.
THE SECRET
Of the affair as cleaned from several
persons is that Crutchield has been
paying Miss Johnson a good deal Of
attention for some time, and finally
the young lady's health became deli
cate. Ar %elopement was planned, and
while the old folks were away from
home the money was to ken from a
wardrobe well supplied with funds.
The couple boarded the next train
and came as far as Milan together,
where they stopped at a hotel and
registered as man and wife. Here they
separated, Miss johnson coming on
ahead, followed the next day by
Crutchfeld.
BEFORE THE COURT.
Crutchheld was brought IN before
the police court this forenoon, where
a warrant was sworn out against him
by Mr.. johnson. The case was con
tinued until Friday to await the ar
rival of the young lady's father, and
the young gentleman was lodged in the
county Jail. In appearance he is about
twenty-four years old, very tall aud
slender, with brown, curly hair and an
exceedingly fresh mustache. He and
the young lady's brother have the APP
pearance of belonging to a good class
Of society. The police are on the
lookout for the young lady, but have
gained no positive clue to her where
abouts as yet.

The school board has Sl29.46 on

The quantity Of cotton moving into

We have read a long list of dra-

man, and pronounce them accurate,
terse and spicy. Mr.. Coleman is a
correspondent of several N. Y. jour

dramatic representations are consid-
cred excellent and have been favor
ably commented upon by prominent
New York journals. But few people
are aware that we have such a writer
in u midst. 1t is even so, yet Sol
finds more money in selling No. 10
cigars than in newspaper correspond

advocating the pas age of a bill making
it a felony, punishable by imprison-
ment in the pe%nitentialy, for white
men and colored women to live in
cohabitation. When he first intro.
duced the measure it was thought he
was only in fun, but it turns out he
