The Pool Room Cases.

As stated in the Gazette of that date,
John Nelson, James La Fontaine, IL.
c Kqnoze, G. w. Smith, Johu Shipley,
John rghe aud ]. A. Ryan, who were
arrested at the alleged poolroom in Jack
son City, Wednes day afternoon, on
charges of vagrancy and violating the
gaming laws OF the State, were admitted
to bail yesterday evening, an appeal
having been taken.
James Bennett, of Washington, but
who is said to own considerable proper
ty in Alexandria county, became their
surety. 80,
1t is said that the contention will
probably be made that Jackson City is
located on territory that really belongs
to the District of Columbia. A promi-
nent attorney of Washington says:
"The question as to who has Juris-
diction over Holmes or Alexander Is
land has been practically settled in the
case OF Robert A. Phillips VS.. Charles w.
Payne, reported in 80 u. S., page 100. In
that case r. A. Phillips was resident
and taxpayer of Alexandria county, and
was a property owner, and as such
was assessed with taxes by the State of
Virginia. Phillips paid the taxes,
amounting to sl65.18, under protest,
and aflerward instituted suit to recover
payment, claiming that the same had
been made under compulsion. The Su-
preme Court held that as the State of
Virginia had exercised jurisdiction
and authority over the territory known
A Alexandria county since 1916, the
time when it was retroceded to Virginia
by the Congress ofthe United States, it
was certainly government detaclo, 10
firm possession of the territory, clothed,
while it existed, with the same rights,
powers, and duties as government DE
lure. During all this time, that is,
sluce 1916, Virginia bad exercised Jurls-
dction over the territory in all respects
as before It was coded to the United
States. The State of Virginia does not
complain of the retrocessiOn. The po-
Iitical departments of her government, by
their conduct, have uniformly asserted
her title. and the head of her judicial
department has expressly affirmed it.
The United States has not objected.
And no murmur of dissent has been
heard from either OF them, but, on the
contrary, the possession of Virginia has
been acquiesced in by the United States
and both parties to the transaction have
been, and still are, entirely satisfied. No
person, under the circumstances, can VI
cariousIy raise the question nor force
upon the parties to the compact an issue
which neither of them desires to make.
That is, as long as the State of Virginia
and the United States are satisfied with
the present condition Of affairs and gov
eminent of Alexandria county, no per.
son can be heard to dispute the right OF
Virginia to govern this territory"

came confused, for the reason that tne

north, aud instead of following the pain
running south to King street, or taxing
the board walk which leads to the street,
she wandered about in the darkness TO
the west of the electric railway track un-
til she fell into the qusgmire and pool
of water at that point. Her condition
was discovered by passerby, among them
Captain r. H. Atkinson, who is the
train announcer at the union depot, and

and found her stuck in the mud and en-
tangled in barb wire. He,extricaied hel
and led her to the street, after which she
wended her way to West End, where
