LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Moro Schools Opened.

The north rooms in the secOnd-story of
the new Lemon street public school build
ings, which were not fully furnished last
Monday when the other rooms were occu-
pied, were formally opened for school pur-
poses this morning. One of them is in
charge of MIR. Clarence V. Lichty, teacher
of a boys secondary, and tine other in
charge of Miss Lizzie Carpenter, teacher
of girls secondary. All of the eight
rooms of the Lemon street building arc
now occupied, and it is doubted if there
are anywhere in the state more comfort
able or convenient school rooms.
The most southern Of the row of old
school buildings on West Chestnut street,
recently remOdeled so as to make it con-
form to the single room plan, was also Oc-
cupied this morning by the schools taught
respectively by Mr.. Levergood, Miss Pal
mer and Miss Ida Hantch. The build
ing was altered by running a partition
through the centre Of the old study hall
and removing the Partition between the
two old class rooms, thus making three
rooms large enough to comfortably ac-
commodate from As to 5Opupils each. The
old fashioned pine desks have been re-
moved and their place supplied with the
" Triumph desks and seats, each pupil
having the exclusive use of one. The old
school house has been so completely meta
morphosed and improved, at very light
expense, that it is probable that tho board
will make like improvement on the other
old houses, which arc sadly in need Of re-
pair.

Shocking Outrages.

d. NJ. Smith, an attorney of Conway
Ark, assaulted Jessie Martin, his cousin,
twelve years old, during the absence Of
her parents ON trip to New Orleans,
Col. Lincoln, uncle of the child was in
formed of tho fact. Tho little girl con-
fessed, stating that Smith said he would
kill herif she told anyone about it. Smith
fled to tho woods, but was arrested. Last
night strong guard stood around the Jail
to prevent lynching.
William Henry Priester, a young man
of twenty-five, who killed his father at
his home in Barnwell county on the % th
of April and fled, w1s captured in Green
Vile, s. C. He reached the city on the
carly train, and was in street car when
recognized by citizens, who called police
man and had him arrested. He is we'll
known, having been cadet at the
military institute, and his return is re-
garded as an evidence Of insanity. He
was making his way to the house of his
father-in-law, about eighteen miles from
the city, and had engaged conveyance to
take him there. The crime was a horrible
one. He fired five balls from his revolver
into the body of his father, who was a
prominent citizen, Immediately after ris-
ing from the breakfast table. He also
killed man in Charlotte, N. c., few
years ago, but was acquitted.

Innocent and Ignorant.

Congressman Harmer declares that he
is very innocent of any connection with
postal contracts. He hardly seems to
know what sort of things they are. His
partner in the coal business, Mr.. Black,
told him that he had lost ten thousand
dollars in his postal contracts, and Mr..
Harman vouches for Mr.. Black as an
honest and truthful man. Mr.. Black
says the same of himself and there is
no doubt that upon their own standards
these men are both right and both honest; !;
yet the standard may reasonably he OBJ
jected to, since Mr.. Black admits that
he got his friends - to sign contracts
as principals, when he was the principal,
and to swear to their pecuniary respon-
sibility, when they had no property.
Mr.. Black says that he does not intend
that the government shall lose by these
men which would, so far, be very we'll,
if Mr.. Black meant all the time
to be thus careful of the govern
ment's interests; but, if he did, little
less false swearing would have been
wise; as he now no doubt thinks him.
self. But Mr.. Blacks good faith may
be reasonably questioned even though
he asserts it SO stoutly. A few months
ago he was afforded an opportunity to
explain his good intentions to the gov
eminent agent who called upon him for
information. But he said that he would
20 on next week with Mr.. Harmer to
Washington and fix things up. He did
not 20, however, and does. not appear
to have called on Mr.. Harmer to 90
at least SO it seems from Mr.. Har.
mer's ignorance of his friend Blacks
and his innocence of postal

had inquired frequently for him, and at a
period of his illness when he seemed un.
able to speak, the fact of her having done
so for time reused him in manner sur,
prising to those around him.
