PARISH RETURNS.
VIII Be Resentenced to Hang at De-
catur.

Decatur, May 1S.-(Specia1. )-Jim Par
rish, the negro murderer who was ar
rested in Illinois a few days ago, was
brought to Decatur last night and placed
in the county Jail.
Some months ago Parrish killed an
other negro by cutting him with knife,
here in Decatur. Parrish was tried and
found guilty and sentenced to hang. A
short time after the trial Parrish es-
capped from the county Jail here and
nothing was heard of him until few
days ago when Sheriff Thomas r. Shipp
received telegram saying Parrish was
under arrest in Illinois, near Chicago.
Parrish will be re-sentenced and the
date of his execution set within a short
time. In the meantime Sheriff Ship has
a strong guard at the county jail to
see that Parrish does not escape again.

Error In Names.

Decatur, May 1s.-(special)-A typo
graphical error in a dispatch from Deca-
tur yesterday made special read that
Hugh H. Mcconnell had been appointed
a substitute mail carrier here The
name should have been Hugh H. McCon-
veil. Maj. Hugh H. Mcconnell is in the
cotton business in Decatur and is one
of the best known cotton men of the
city. He could not afford to give up his
connections with the cotton business here
for the position of substitute mail car
rier. The error in the Decatur dispatch
was the subject of much comment among
Major McConnell's friends, hence this
correction.

Of Doubtful Sincerity.

The Jackson News opposes the
use of detectives in ferreting out
blind tiger operators in Jackson,
at least that is what the News says
and we believe tells the truth.
But the News goes further and
says it believes in strict enforce
ment of the prohibition law by
other means. We are not sure
the News is candid in this state
ment. We always doubt the man
who has a certain way Of doing a
thing and is willing to accept no
other way, even though a better
and surer one is shown. When
one is earnest and anxious to
achieve an object, he usually ac-
cepts all aid that may be rendered
and takes all short cuts possible

sent out from New Orleans stat
ing that a Catholic church in that
city had been dynamited and par
TALLY destroyed. Considerable
excitement was created in the
city and the outrage was attribut-
ed to religious intolerance and
other causes. A full and COM

has satisfied the majority of peo-

minute particles of dust spontan-
eously exploding. Such exolos-
ions have frequently occurred,

A War Incident.

In skirmish between the fed
eral white horse brigade" and
that of Gen. S w. Ferguson, near
Kingston, Ca, May II 1864, the
Federals were driven back leaving
several dead and wounded on the
rocky hillsides upon which the
conflict was fought. A private
belonging to a Confederate caval-
ry regiment searched the pockets
of one of the slain Federals, ex-
tracing therefrom several articles
of jewelry. On his way back to
camp he passed a residence al
stopped to get a drink of water.
A young lady brought him the wa

bandaged he asked her the cause

The Crime Of kidnapping.

Twenty five years ago such a
thing as kidnapping was practi-
cally unknown. Then came the
famous Charley Ross case, the
most battling and the most mys-
terious as we'll as the most pathet-
ic. The father of Charley Ross
spent every dollar of his consider
able fortune in the hunt for his
darling boy, and at last went
down TO the grave with the wish
unsatisfied. We trust the heart
broken old man has been united
with his beloved boy in the upper
world, for probably his abductors
extinguished his young life tc
avoid detection. Since that time
there have been many noted cases
of kidnapping, including the Cud-
ahy boy and the recent one of the
Whitla child, and parents who
have great wealth are all the
time uneasy lest the kidnappers
should vanish with their loved
ones. Of all systems of robber,
this seems the most diabolical anl
inhuman. The using of an limo
cent child as a means of extortinl
money from the grieved parents
is a crime for which there is NJ
adequate punishment provided
Death should be the penalty il
each and every case.

The Republicans have for many
years fought shy of tariff reform,
but their last platform called for
it and the party in congress is now
endeavoring to make good this
promise. They find, however, that
is live wire and that it has al
ready done much to disrupt the
party. While the tariff bill, in
some shape, will be whipped
through by Aldrich and Cannon
it will leave fostering sores on the
party that will likely produce great
changes in the near future.
