excellent taste, but yesterday she
wore a costume of a light shade of
blue, almost white in fact, which was
richly ornamented in front by an
elaborate frontal Of white bead passe-

white and attracted general observa
ton. Miss Aggie's five year old rival,

Al Baltimore.

B4LTIMoRF, MD March H. st. Pat
rick's day opened bright and beauti-
full, and at an early hour the green
emblem was everywhere visible. st.
Patrick's church was crowded to
overlooking Archbishop Gibbons
occupied the throne, and the solemn
high mass was celebrated by the Rev.
Francis Fowler The Rev. Father
Hicky of Germantown, Pa, delivered
the panegyric. Mr.. Alexander Sulli-
van of Chicago was among those pres
ent, and delivered an address. The adj
mirers of Parnell and his sympAthizers
in his efforts to obtain home rule for
Ireland, celebrated st. Patrick's day
by holding the largest and most en-
thusiastic meeting ever held in this
city in aid of the Parliamentary fund.
The Concordia Opera-House was filled
to Overlooking, and presented a
brilliant appearance in its de-
sign of green intermingled with
the stars and stripes. The stage
was occupied by some of the
most prominent clergymen and pro-
fessional men in the city. Letters OF
regret were real from Archbishop
Gibbons, Senator'S A. p German and
John A. Logan and Congressman
Findlay. Mgr. McColgan, vicar-gen-
eral of the archdiocese of Baltimore,
was one Of the vice-presidents OF the
meeting. 4 subscription was started,

CARROLLTON TRAGEDY.
DETAILS OF THE
SHOOTING OF
The Negroes In the COurt-HOuse-
The Cause for the IerrlbIe
Crime.

New ORLEANS, L., March ia
Winona, Miss, special to the Picdyune
says: At Carrollton to-day fearful
tragedy occurred in which ten negroes
were killed and three wounded. Some
weeks ago two negroes attempted to
assassinate j. M. Liddell, jr., inhicting
some painful but not serious wounds.
The negroes engaged in this dastardly
attempt are known to be the most de-
fant and lawless in the country,
and since the attempt on Mr..
Liddell's life, have been more openly
defiant than ever. For some reason
not known they swore out warrant a
few days ago for Mr.. Liddell's arrest
1t was at this trial to-day that the kill
ing occurred. The negroes present
were mostly armed. About l O'Clock
party of armed men, numbering
about forty or fifty persons, rode up
to the courthouse, dismounted and
entering the building at once com
menced firing on the negroes with the
above result. They then returned by
the same route they came. They do
not live near Carrollton.
A later dispatch from Winona
throws little more light on the assas-
sination. At the trial about twenty
colored men were present. The fifty
white men, well mounted and each
carrying a Winchester rifle, came gal
Looping up and surrounded the court
house, They then fired into the
building, instantly killing ten ne.
groes and wounding three others so
that they died soon after; and, with
the exception of a few who escaped
through window, all the other ne
groes in the building were wounded,
some of them seriously.
The trouble between Liddell and
the negroes occurred three weeks ago.
Liddcll had interferred in arrow be-
tween two negroes, and afterwards
heard the crowd cursing him. He
walked up to them and inquired why
they were abusing him. An alterca-
ton ensued, and a number of shots
were fired, Liddell being severely
wounded.

AT TIE DANGER PAINT

The labor troubles are beginning to
afsume an alarming aspect. The
United States Marshal of the Eastern
District OF Texas has found il neces-
cary for the protection OF property to
purchase Winchester rifles. This is a
Sep that shows a serious condition OF
affairs. When strikes on as large a
scale as is now in operation in the
United States begin, there is every
intention at the start to conduct them
quietly. But as the days go on with
no earnings coming in, when wife and
children are but scantily supplied
with the neCessaries OF life, the temper
OF the husband and father becomes
soured and his feelings excited, and
calm reason fails to guide his actions.
When this crisis comes on there is
danger. Events that at another time
would be taken with coolness, cannot
now be regarded dispassionately. Ar
rived at this point, the public peace is
at the mercy of accident, aud any
cause OF provocation, real or faucied,
ezcites slumbsring discomfort to the
pitch ofuncOntrollable fury. Violence

among her signal triumphs, and the
well filled house that witnessed her
performance last night was ardent in
its applause of her admirable acting,
In the second act Mile Rhea appears

charming impression The play is
well constructed, and bristles with
bright and witty dialogue. Lovers OF
good play, well acted, should not
neglect this opportunity. Miss Julia
Wheeler as "Althea" was exceedingly
clever, and Miss Annie Malkley made
a very satisfactory and piquant
"Lucy." Mr.. Putnam did the lovers
part with grace, discretion, tact and
fine feeling. Messrs. f. r. Wilson, as

The effort making in England to ex-
tsud the anfitage 10 women is carried
out with more energy and seriousness
than with US. We suppose the cause
OF shis must be that the women in
that country take more interest in the
question than the American women
do. During the present session Of the
English Parliament, in the discussion
OF a bill before it to admit women to
vote, l42 members voted against mo
ton 10 postpone the subject, and 1877
Tor the postponement "A favorable
vote. AT ! o'clock in the morning
another proposition to postpone was
voted down, when 100 opposed post
ponement and l02 voted for tia vote
still more favoable--and the bill was
read second time without division.
This shows that the matter is taken
up with ardent correctness. The
London Times argued against the bill
in one Of its heavy articles, but the
thin, attenuatsd arguments it
used showed tina! even the Times was
unable to bring forward cogent
reasons why women should not have
votes. 1t asserted that the fan
chise mad just been extended by Par
lament, aud that to take a new step
in the same direction would be ven
turesome and risky, especially as there
are in England more women than
men. This last argument is special
noticeable. II is evidently feared that
the conscientiousness and moral senti-
ment of women, they being. in the
majority, might upset some Of the
masculine legislation that will not
bear moral Inspections, such as forcing
opium upon the Chinese, for instance.
The Times is evidently distrustiul Of
the pJim Engliah mics and the virtu-
GUS British matron, for it declares that
in public affairs woman sis not only
untried but, as far as we can discover,
is wholly unfit for the powers and
duties which are to be conferred upon
her." II the English women were
stirred up on the subject before, we
should think such an aspersion upon
the sex OF the nation will excite them
still more. The Times adds to its
powerful logic by saying that
although the present bill does not
give vote to every woman, the door
once opened it will rot be long before
the whole sex will press through, and
to suffer them to enjoy the same polit-
ical right" rs men would be almos: a

sion, for they have evidently fear
Of the sex. The summit of absurdily
is reached by our Loldon contempor-
srv when it declares that woman sui
fwge will be only a step t. the en-
fIanchsemeDt Of the children. A new
election in England is expected, and by
such a.d as the Times logic is giving
taem the women will not fail to make
another step in advance on that occs-
sion.

LoNDoN, March IA banquet in
honor of st. Patrick's day was given
at the Canon Street Hotel this even
ing, There were $500 guests, including
Earl Ashburnham and many Parnell-
tie members of Parliament. Many
kilograms were received expressing
confidence in Mr. Parnell and the
Irish commoner. MIR. +. Dwyer Gray,
who presided, regretted the absence
of Mr.. Parnell who was unwell. Amid
great enthusiasm he proposed the
toast, "Ireland a Nation, adding that
if ever race on the face of the globe
had proved its right to nationhood,
the Irish had done so. In spite OF
centuries of bitter struggles, unparal-
leled sacrifices and unequaled suffer
ings, Irishmen had shown that they
were determined to obtain the rights
of a nation, and never was their deter
mination stronger than now. He
hoped before long Mr.. Gladstone
would be enabled to solve the prob
lem. Irishmen wished to legislate for
themselves in their own country, and
would Loyalty accept any measure
giving them that privilege, thus bene-
fitting both countries instead OF
endangering the empire Other
toasts followed.
Mr.. O'Brien, at a meeting of 1000
Irishmen at st. Genges, in Bradford,
this evening, made a speech in which
he said Ireland's prospects were never
before brighter than now. 1t would
not be the fault of the Parnellites II
the most promising chance OF effect
ing a reconciliation of the two peo-
piles should be madly and wickedly
sacrificed. Acknowledgement Russell
was banqueted in London this even
ing bv his constituents. In an adj
dress he said that .Englishmen
might rest assured that Mr.. Glad
stones Irish scheme would ejust and
equitable, and would unite the Lib
eral party and strengthen the best in
terests of the empire. Coercion, he
said, had failed, and it would, there
fore, be wise to give Ireland judicious
home rule. If Mr.. Chamberlain
should resign his seat in the Cabinet,
the country would accept the resigna-
ton. There was no excuse for de-
serting the government short of very
grave reasons.
Mr.. Mccarthy, speaking at Glasgow
this evening, said that the Nationalist
wished to welcome the 0rangemen
because Ireland should be the country
in which the Irish should sink all
differences of opinion.

about 1880 O'Clock a little woman,
dressed in gray, whose name be did
not know, came into the sto Q and
asked for mixed pickles. He told her
he had none, and directed her next
door. She looked around rather SUE
piciously, but left the store and YVES
Joined by another woman, and the two
passed the store, going ia the direction
Of Main street. His brother Henry,
who had just entered the rear
OF the store from the yard, adj
vanced and asked, "Who are they ?"
aud witness replied / DO not know.
Henry then ft1od in the doorway,
facing fernando street. The next
thing he saw was the figure Of VIC
man darling swiftly toward his
brother, and firing a pistol into his
back. His brother fell, and the wo-
man fed across the street in the di-
rection OF fernando street.
p. S. Schneider testified that he
heard the shot and saw a wo-
man running in the direction
Of fernando street. He pursued
her, overlook her, aud caught
her by the arm. She grabbed
a pistol from basket she carried, and
said, "Turn me loose" and he turned
her loose. Then a tall, elderly man
came to the woman's rescue. Then
Policeman Randolph came up and ar
rested the woman, who quietly sur

shot, saw woman running up Her

made no resistance, but refused to
give up her pistol, her and her father,
who was the tall man, both insisting
that she needed the pistol TO protect
her life from the vengeance of pur-
suing mob. At the Station-House she
gave her name as Emma Norman.
The pistol was Smith & Wesson i'm
proved thirty-eight caliber, and the
ball extracted from the wound was of
a corresponding size.

Mundinger's singular Confessions.

A singular bill was fled in Chancely
yesterday by John Scheibler, assignee
OF g. Mundinger. After setting forth
the fact OF MundiDger's embara7s-
ment, the appointment Ct S. |. Nc
Dowell as receiver and his subsequent
assignment, he says: "The estate OF
ssid Mundinger is worth about $780,
600, and the debts he owes exceed
$4,000. He was in failing circum-
stances, and owed debts in excess Of
his assets and estate on January |,
1886. He was begging extensions
and getting extensions from some of
his creditors at exorbitant rates OF in
tsrest, far beyond the legal rate,
during the latter part OF this
year 1885, and was in great peCuniary
straits in January, 1886. It was evil
dent to him that he must soon sac
cumb to the pressure of liabilities
which he had no NEAR ct hand OF
meeting. He therefore contemplated
general assignment in the early part
OF January last, but he hesitated
about making it because he wished to
give preference to certain creditors
to whom he felt under greater obliga-
tons than others. He was advised
that he could suffer judgments or at
tachments to go without resistance by
default or collision, and in that way
allow them to secure preference, and
then make a general assignment.
Among the creditors that he desired
thus to prefer were and are de-
PENDANTS, F. L. Warner, 7. B. Edging-
ton, s. M. Stualt and others
He suffered them to get judgments
and TO attach without resistance or op-
position. He aided them, or some Of
them, to the extent Of executing notes
on which they might sue before a
justice of the peace and speedily get
judgment, and have execution and fix
liens on his property. He submitted
to an attachment without grounds for
the same in favor OF defendant War
ner. Under the attachment CT said
Warner said Mundinger's entire stock
Of goods and other effects were seized
and placed in the hands of the re-
ceiver of this court Jp the - day Of
January, 1885, since which the same
have been in CustOdiG IegiS and not
subject to further attachments or
seizure, as complainant is adj
vised, except by permission Of this
honorable court. Other attachments
were issued and judgments taken
soon after the judgment was rendered
in favor OF said Edgington, and which
said Mundinger was induced not to
resist, and did not resist, because it
was the only way, az he believed, that
be could make effeCtual the prefer
ences designed for those who wished
his favor. The result was that no at
tschment or suit was resisted, but sll
were submitted to, with a view OF
making a general assignment within
three months in such manner as
would secure said preferences, aud
then leave all the balance of his
assets to pass under the general assign
ment which he had in contemplation.
##% Complainant is advised that all
the liens effected in the way mem
toned are void; that some of the cred
itors favored have already realized
their whole claims.
Complainant prays that all attach
ments and executions be declared null
and void, and that the proceeds from
the sale of goods be divided equally
among creditors.

The Coroner,n Inquest

At $40 O'Clock Justice Thomas
Fleming summoned Jury and held
an inquest over the body at the store
Of j. j. Arnold, the dead mans
brother, where the shooting &C.
Cured. The dead mans body
lay stretched upon the floor,
and presented ghestly sight
Though but one shot was fired, and
that into the back, the dead mans
face was smeared with blood, doubt
less due to a hemoirhage from the
mouth as his life throbbed away. His
thin and dark mustache was glued to
his lips and cheeks by the dark fluid,
and here and there were spots on his
face the size OF q penny where no
blood had gone, and where the white
and Colorless skin shone out pale
as marble. He lay ia his shirt
sleeves, but his white shirt showed
no track OF blood except where the
ball had been extracted. DR.. w. w.
Taylor, who was the first to arrive,
made po5t-mortem examination
and extracted the ball, which had
entered the back below the left shout
der, ranged toward the heart, and was
cut out under the skin little

is the consequence, and bate and
passion bring deplorable results.
That there are already signs OF such
a crisis the call for weapons by
United Stats Marshal makes evident.
So widely spreads the effects OF the atti-
tude Of labor and capital toward each
other in this country, that even one OF
the large religious bodies becomes en-
tangled in the whirl and connection,
and the Roman Catholic Church in
the United States is driven to point
in which II seems likely - be viewed
as en- adversary to the association OF
the Knights Of Labor, a position its
people certainly would not W llirgly
occupy. In many other ways grew
ancee, snnoyancee, hindTauce to bust
ness, and spreading feeling OF I'M
essiness and apprehension is becom-
ing prevalent. This is & condition OF
things that public sentiment will GER
tainly not allow to continue long.
How is ii TO be put an end to? II will
not do, on the one hand, to deprive
employers Ct the power TO regulate
and manage their own establishments.
On the other hand the general love Of
Justice will not countenance the utter
subjection OF labor 10 capital by the
use OF policemen and soldiers. AMIGA
BILE arbitration appears TO be the only
res ource and arc Of safety, but this re-
source the capitalists appear reluctant
to make available. The strikers OF
the Gould roads have applied
for it and have been refused.
From whatever motives this reluct-
snce arises, it places the employers at
disadvantage before the public.
There is another thing that works
a. ainst them. On many occasions
wages have been declared too high by
the employers, and notice OF less pay
given; or workmen, believing their
pay too small, have demanded an ad-
vance. Frequently declines have been
insisted upon and advances refused
under such circumstant es, on the plea
that the state OF business necefs tated
a decline or forbid an advance, and
the result has been a strike. Then, in
many cases, the effort 10 reduce wages
has ceased, or the advance demanded
conceded. The workmen see that the
employer still carries on his business,
apparently doing very well, aud they
draw tho conclusion that unless the
strike had been made capital would
have pocketed more, from the mutual
product Of capital and labor, than was
Just. This breeds and encourages
strikes; and unless q sense Of justice,
not a rage for gain, actuate both CAPT
tai aud labor in their relations with
each other, disputes and striker, with
all their evils, will continue, The un-
happy result is before the country
to-day, and when authority has to
seek q resource in firearms, that result
is of more painful as well as danger
| Gus character.
