A Chattanooga special to the Ava
lanche of a few days since says that
Miss Jessie Carroll. prominent and
wealthy young lady, was arrested on
her farm in Rhea county this even
ing for completely in the embezzle-
ment of Frank Jones, chief book
keeper of the Champion works at
Springfield, o. The arrest was made
by Pinkerton detectives and develops
an extraordinary sensation in con-
nection with this matter. Miss Car
roll came to Rhea county, Tenn.
from Springfield two years ago. She
paid $4,000 cash for finely built and
elegant residence, purchased valuable
property and at once became q leader
in society. She posed as q wealthy
heiress and was courted and greatly
admired. As soon as she learned of
Jones' arrest at Springfield she left
Rhea county and started to Florida
but was decoyed back by kilograms
from the detectives and at once ar
rested. The chief books Of the cham
pion Company were buried in her
house at Spring City, and other evil
dence secured that she is privy to his
defalcations, which may reach $780,.
900. Only small amount OF
money was found on her person, but
it is known that she left here with ar
immense sum and has 1t concealed
somewhere. She will be taken to
Ohio. She is beautiful blond Of on-
ly twenty-five.

After duly considering ell the re-

After duly considering all the re-
ports that have come before our eyes
and within hearing Of our ears, con.
cerning the fearful tragedy which oc-
CURED at Carrollton on Wednesday
Of last week, we are led to believe that
the Brown negroes were at fault and
should have been punished-as the
law it such cases directs. But, we
are unable to see any reason why
even these notorious characters
should have been dealt with as they
were, to say neth!ag ef the taking Of
the life ofsome twelve or fifteen other
negroes who were perhaps as inno-
cent of crime or o thought of perpe-
trating crime, as any good white citi-
zen Of our sister county. While, per-
haps, some ofthe parties implicated
In this bloody, life-taking affray, are
among our warmest personal friends
in that section, we are compelled by
sense of honesty, duty and q proper
respect for the laws of our land,
to put our foot fatty down upon any
such proceedings, no matter in what
part of our common country or by
what class Of citizenship perpetrated.
Such actions on the part of any peo-
pie show that they have but little
faith in the laws of our State and in
the officers who have been chosen by
the people to execute them. If mob
law is to reign in Mississippi we had
better turn the legislative halls and
court houses that deck the hill-tops
in about seventy-five counties in
Mississippi, into orphan assylums
and begin to make provisions for TAX
ing care of the widows and orphans
who will in a short time constitute
the greater part Of our population.
And again if this mob law is to reign
among us we had better abolish the
jury system and let the men who
generally compose the juries go along
in the even tenor of their way in the
pursuit of their respective avocations.
Taking political view ofthis matter,
we are led to believe that it will fur
nish more fuel for the Republican
party thay any event which has oc-
Cured in the South for the past ten
years-fuel Of an easily-ignited and
combustible character-likely to
"bust" the Democratic party into
smithereens. There seems to us to
be but one means of rectifying this
wrong and placing our grand old
commonwealth upon her former sub
stantial footing, and that is that eve
ry man who was implicated in this
ever-to-be-regretted affair, be arraign-
ed before the courts with a special
committee of twelve men of his peer
to wait upon him. Regardless of con-
sequences, we say let this matter be
thoroughly investigated and justice
meted out to the guilty and innocent,
and this blemish upon our next door
neighbor be removed, even though
the whole executive power of our
State be required to lend helping
hand toward that end.

1t cannot be but matter of pride
to every Mississippian to see what
rapid strides Gen. J. z. George is
making towards leadership III all
great questions of constitutional law
in the Senate of these United States.
His recent speech on the Blair Edu-
cational Bill is by far the ablest and
most exhaustive yet presented on the
subject, and places him at the head
of progressive Democratic statesmen
in that august body. A Washington
correspondent says of this distin-
guished gentleman: "Hon. J. q.
George, Mississjppi's senior senator,
who carries on his manly, rugged
shoulders one of the best brains in
the United States, let loose string
of most incisive and original chain
lightning "wherefores" against the
constitutional objectors to the Blair
bill in the Senate yesterday. Where
fore, he asked, If this bill be obiec-
tionable on constitutional grounds,
wherefore did we send corps to OBJ
serve the transit of Venus? And by
what token could we send an expedi.
tion in search of the north pole? And
how did we appropriate money to es-
tablish the congressional library?
And educate the Indians? And do q
thousand other things? Senators
Gray, Harris and Morgan were kept
busy lodging the bolts hurled by this
able constitutional lawyer"

SHAVING ON SUNDAY.
A History OF the Law for the su
doy Closing of narber Shops

A History OF the Law for the Sun
day closing of barber Shops.
EDITOR CRITIC: During the dark days OF
our municipal existence an ordinance was
passed by the then City Council at the inst-
CATION Of some narrow-minded BARRIERS who
experienced sudden shock OF what they
call religion, or were dissatisfied with their
station in life, to close the barber shops on
sunday. But a test case being brought be.
fore Judge Wylie In the Criminal Court,
that distinguished and enlightened jurst
dismissed the suit, taking the ground that the
council had no right whatever by the char
ter Of the city to pass a law Of that nature,
which might be Justly termed law against
cleanliness, and MS a sanitary measure bar
Der shops should be allowed to be kept
open. This was thought to have set
tied the matter, but some time afterward,
prompted by the same old crew, another
case was brought up before Judge Hagner,
who sustained the law and decided that the
councils had a right to pass IL, as It might
be considered police regulation. Now,
In the name OF common sense, would ask
why police regulations should be consid-
cred necessary for a profession, which,
from the time Of the ancient Romans to
Peter the Great, who imported BARRIERS into
Russia and made his scmi-bai berous sub
jects have their long hair and boards cut
off, up to the present time, has been con-
sidered one OF the great levers of civiliza-
tiop, which, as Mrs. Kicker In her argu-
mcnt Lefore Judge Smell the other day Iitly
stated, by promoting cleanliness, tended to
create self.respect, and consequently good
orderp Whoever heard OF any dis
order occurring in barber-shop on
Sunday morningP Even churches might,
with more propriety, be put under police
regulations, as the record Of the Police
Court shows that the officers of the law are
frequently called upon to suppress breaches
OF the peace IN these edifces. For a short
time the BARRIERS, put on the level with
rum sellers by the action Of members of
their own fraternity, were forced to ply
their trade behind closed doors or run about
on Sunday morning to shave their Gus
toners at their houses, that is, those that
could afford to pay extra. The poor, who
could not make 1t convenient to shave on
Saturday, had to do the best way they
could. Sunday restrictive laws are only
made against the poor, because the rich, by
the use of their money, can get all they de-
sire in spite of them. But public opinion,
that great power which sets aside all laws
In this country not founded on justice and
common sense, soon made this ridiculous
law dead letter. The commission insti-
tuted by Congress a few years ago for the
purpose Of codifyiDg the laws Of the Dis
trict, In their report had u clause distinctly
allowing barber shops to be kept open un-
til o'clock p. m. on Sunday. But for the
Incidence Of our legislators this would
have certainly passed long ago. Several
other bills for the government Of the Dis
trict, introduced by individual members,
contained similar clauses, thus clearly
showing the will Of the representatives Of
the people on the subject. RS

Baseball Comment,

The championship season Of the National
Baseball League opened yesterday through
out the country, and in this city by game
between the Washlngtons and the Philadel-
phias. To the great delight of the home
mines friends Washington won by score
Of to 3. The early defeats Of our nine
benefited them. They discovered their
weak points, and have taken pains to Grad
icate them. AS THE CRITIC claimed, those
weak points were the batting and the bat
terry. That the former has improved is
shown by the score, which gives the home
nine ten base-hits. Gilligan had one passed
ball, but no errors. Shaw is credited with
two errors, and did not pitch in his usual
form. Philadelphia made but five base-hits
and nine errors. The result was wholly
satisfactory to the Washington people.
Other League Games.-New York 3, Bos-
ton 4; Detroit o, st. Louis 9; Chicago
Kansas City game postponed because OF
rain.
American Association Gamcs.-St. Louis
o, Cincinnati 4; Baltimore II, Brooklyn .;
Athletics 8, Metropolitans 81; Louisville
