trial, which came off soon after her arrest
and at which she gave her name az Alice
| Jones' she was convicted OF an attempt TO
murder the child, and sentenced to five
years imprisonment. All the efforts of Judge
and jury to obtain the name of the author
OF her ruin and her former home proved
unsvailing, and she was socu after
brought to this city and placed in the peni-
ieutlsry. Yesterday Governor Churchill
pardoned her. The pardon was given be-
cause OF petition signed by the Judge be-
fore whom she was tried, the attorney who
prosecuted, the jurors, and hundreds of citi-
zens. The strangest rart of the story came
TO light yesterday. Alice Jones is no other
than beautiful Alice Asche, OF Lonoke
county, whose mysterious disappearance
caused no little comment at the. time. The
mother believed VIXEN she left she had gone
TO visit relatives in Georgia, the girl having
caused such report TO he circulated. A few
weeks caused the fact to be known that she
had not gone there. Weeks rolled BY and
no tidings of the poor girl could be heard
At last The broken hearted mother was in
duced to visit Batesvile, where Alice Jones
was on trial. She arrived there the day the
sheriff started for Little Rock with her as .
prisoner. The meeting between mother
and daughter was heartrending beyond
description. Both women fsinted, and
the kind-hearted officer found himself very
much out of place. Thsre was no scolding;
no recriminaiions. Inc mother took her
daughter to her heart and said she would 60
with her. Alasl the strain was too much for
the poor old woman, and she fell i'll. 1t was
a month or so before she saw her daughter
behind the prison bars. From the day of
her recovery to yesterday she had worked
necessarily, and her face wore q look of
purity and motherly holiness, as che walked
about the statehouse, that was absolutely
sublime. "Psrdoned. blessed word" she
said. 1t is said that Miss Asche was ruined
under promise of marriage by a handsome
young farmer, of Lonoke, by the name of
Houndsley. He persuaded her to go to
BatesvIrfe, whore tho baby WAS born, telling
her he would follow. Instead of doing so,
and showing an inclination 10 right the
wrongs he had cansed, he fed the State
God will surely wreak His vengeance on
such william as Houndsley.

Au Editor,. Nose bitten Oa.


The community were shocked this morn
ing to hear of the outrageous assault made
on Mr.. John w. LAWNS, editor and pro-
prietor of the Hornet, at or near the corner
o: Grove and Walnut streets, about IL o'clock.
From the most reliable inform alton that can
be gathered it is stated that Mr.. LAWNS and
Jack McKenna had some words at the
saloon of HIbou, on Washington street.
From there Mr.. Lawns started for home in
company with Marshal Groom. When near
the Trowbridge Heuse they were met by
McKenna, VIM. Bushelnan and several
others. The attack was made on Mr.. LAWNS
at this point, and the result is that Mr.
Lawns is dis6gured for life, his nose being
entirely gone, having been bitten of by one
of the brutes. Mr.. LAWNS fred one shot
without effect Ii is not known what Mar
shall Groom did in the premises, but he
stated to DIR. Robbins that he wss pres
man were arrested. Cily-Clerk Trow-
bridge went on the bond of the two
last named. The attempted asssssins-
ton was evidently premeditatsd. Mr..
Lawns was moved from the city prison 10
his residence at 8 O'Clock THIS lnornips in a
dangerous condition from his mutilation and
bruises. 1t remains to be seen what measures
OF justice may be taken IN the matter, but
one thing is certain, that District-Attorney
Fitzgerald will spare no efforts. Affidavits
have been m ade against John Groom, J. H.
McKenna, W. II. Burnett, Simon De Young
aud William bushelmsn for attempt to kill
and murder and for conspiracy. No mans
life can be regarded as safe in this city,
which is yet provided with an organized po-
lice force, il such brutal outrages and evident
attempt to murder can be perpetrsted under
the very eyes of the chief of police. John
Groom, W. Fl. Burnett, simon De Young
and William Bushelman were arrested this
morning and taken before Justice Mann for
examination. Distriet-Attorney Fitzgerald
appeared and notified the justice that he in.
tended TO conduct the prosecution, and re.
ouested the release of John Groom on hi,
recognizance, and that the others be held
until such time as Mr.. LAWNS might be able
! TO appear in court.

First Meetisg sr fhe Tariff Com mission
In Boston.

Boston, Aueust 24-The Tariff Commits
sion held its 6sst meeting in this city to-day.
John G.. brown, Boston iron importer,
said that the classification of bar-iron for the
purpose of lexyiHg duties was unjust. He
would change the systenn of classification so
that the basis would be the quality of the
iron, and not the size of the bars, and would
reduce all duties to three quarters of cent
per pound.
S. F. Gates, Of Cambridge, advocated a
change of the tsx on the cosl of raw material
for the construction Of ships, so that AmerI-
can commerce could compete for foreign
trade.
Royal T. Robbins, treasurer of the Ameri-
can Watch Compsny, favored an increase of
the tariff on Eaichee, and the abolition Of
duties on jewelsused in the construction OF
watches.
Elijah P. Whitehead, treasurer OF the Illi-
rois Watch Company, followed in the same
vein, and said the great success which had
attended American manufacturers of watches
was due to the nacbinery which had enabled
them 10 compete successfully with cheap
Swiss labor in spite of the inequalities of
the tariff.
A Communication was read from ii. A.
Houghton, OF Cambridge, in opposition 10
any chsnge in the tariff on books, which is
low enough now. Owing to the low price of
labor in England books are produced there
at about half their cost here.
The Commission then adjourned until to-

GENERAL GORDON DOES NOT WANT TO sue
oEED THE LATE SENATOR HILL
WASHINGTON, August 24-The talk that
General Gordon will succeed the late Sena-
Tor Hill seems to be without authority
or probability. A gentleman we'll acGu tainted
with General Gordon, spoken to to-day on
the pbject, only laughed when the question
of Gordon's election to the Senate was men
tioned.
"Why," he said, it's nonsense to think OF
IL: Gordon was senator and resigned, and
there ia much greater reason now that he
should refuse to be a senator than there was
then"
ssWhat was the reasont" was asked.
"Most people consider 1t an honor to be a
senator"
cit is an honor-yes,p he answered, "but
there isn't enough money in 1t. General
Gordon is now travelling in Europe at sal
ary of $4,000 3 year and expenses paid.
He has lust negotiated 100000 OF bonds
for his road, the Georgia Pacific, and even If
he is ready to come home he will have sll he
can attend to here in the way OF business"
"Is the general a successful business man,
then"
IHe has been quite successful since he re-
signed his seat in the Senate" was the reply,
9but he was cot before. Why, his house IN
Atlanta gas sold over his head by the sheriff
twice, and vas bid in by ms irienos auo
given TO him again. He adores his vie, ouI
she has no more business ideas than he. :
never saw couple more devoted TO each
other than they. She accompanied him all
through the war, and at Winchester, when
he was trying to rally his regiment, she
rushed 10 the front, seized the flag, and wav-
