EDUCATION IN kENTUCKY.

The colored teachers of Kentucky have
adopted a memorial to the Legislature ask
Ing for important modification or amend
meat OF the school law: They AK for an
equalization of the per capita and limit Of
chool age for the children of the State,

An EXTRAORDINARY CASE,
Acquitted Of Murder. hut sent to
Prison For an Assault.


Prison For an Assault.
JoyEs ECRo, GA, Sept. l2.-The most
thrilling trial that has occupied the Geor-
sia courts in a long time has Just closed in
a most unexpected manner. About two
years ago Mrs. Former, an old lady living
in the country, was murdered IN her door.
Her daughter, halfwitted girl, was
knocked down with an axe and nearly
killed, bat recovered. The detectives act
upon Julia Johnson, an old colored woman
in the nsighborhOod, "a the murderess.
The evidence against her Wa purely cir
cumstaDtial, but quite strong. She was
seen at the house the evening before the
murder, AID on the day Of the murder left
for Atlanta, where she spent an amount Of
money for which she could not account.
The people tried to mob her a. these facts
were developed. The life OF the lawyer
who appeared to defend her was threatened
and he Was sent TO Atlanta under guard,
and the train carrying him ordered to dssh
through the station near the scene OF the
murder without stopping.
The trial was intensely exciting. The
half-witted girl declared thai che recog-
nized Julia IS the person who struck her,
but upon Julia being placed With three old
negro women of somewhat similar appear
auce. and abe being ordered to place her
hand On Julia, che put it On the wrong
woman The clerk was also unable 30
swear that she was the woman who had
spent the money in his store. Her attor-
ney, Mel, fries, made a startling theory,
in which ne argued that there were more
circumstances against the white man who
married the old lady's youngest daughter
six dave after the murder than against
JuIi.. The old lady had declared this
marriage should never take place az long
a. she lived. Julia was acquitted OF the
murder Of the old lady.
She was then held TO answer Tor assault
Oh the Young woman. Mr.. JefIies did not
attend the last trial, and the old negress,
beipg without earnest counsel, was con-
victed Of the assault, and sentenced for ten
years 10 the penitentiary. No case has
ever created 40 much excitement in Clay
ton county, and it Is probable that no sp-
peal will be made from this extraordinary
verdict. The judge ordered the sentence
executed.

The Canadian papers are congratulating

Notwithstanding the gallsntry of the sv-

who will admit that women are fitted for
the pulpit With the Methodist ministers
of Chicago the case seems different. AT a
weekly meeting, yesterday, several of the
speakers favored the idea OF female cler-
gy, some of them advancing arguments IN
that direction OF considerable force. The
opponents of the ladies, one Of them bish-
op, were unkind enough to suggest that
their propensity to gao" should not be en-
coursged. The other side neglected to
make one excellent point in behalf of the

A SNEAK THIEE- On Sat-
urday policeman Doran ares
ted young mulatto named
Charley Richardson, aged about
IS years. Charley sold a pair
of elegant gold bracelets for
$3.50 and put up a very fine
pearl and diamond ring for the
repair of a watch. The jeweler
took the articles knowing them
to be stolen and for the pur-
pose of finding the owner. The
jewelry was stolen from a
dressing table at Col. Gidding's
residence; the thief had proba-
bly, been posted in regard to
the premises and is supposed
to have effected an entrance
through an open window. Char
ley has for some time been
known as a bad boy and at the
time of his arrest had an open
faced silver watch supposed to
have been stolen, but up to the
present time had never been
caught stealing.
