SHERMAN. June 6.--Last evening at
$50 O'Clock the annual concert of the
Sherman institute came Off at the on
era.house and was attended bya large
audience. The exercises consisted of
choruses, instrumental and vocal solos.
duets, trios, etc, that were sufficiently
attractive to hold the company TO
late hour. The programme was SO
varied and ample that the SPACE nj.
lotted to an ordinary communication
would be far too circumscribed for us
TO do justice To the subject.
Among the vocal SUCCESSES
was duet, 1.-TWO Little Birds.n bv
Misses Manson and Millet, that called
for rounds Of applause, and the same
may be said of similar piece, "Go ASK
Mother, sung by Miss Carrie Burnett
and Master Richard. These little folks
did admirably and everybody praised
them.
Instrumental pieces of great merit
were played by Miss Minnie Wood.

Miss Ida Bledsoe, Miss Bond and Miss
Eula Hare, Miss Suttle and Miss Belle
Phillips and others, while the vocal
solos by Misses Lena and Ida Moore,
Miss Vassar and Miss Louise scott
Miss Belle Phillips and Miss Merton
Miikins were most excellent indeed
and called forth rarturous applause.
Perhaps If any one of these deserve
especial mention more than Others i,
was the "Flower Girl by Miss Lena
Moore, who exhibited vocal abilities
far above the average to be found in
school concerts. The whole entertain
ment was success, and left the i'm
preston both on the minds of our peo-
pie and visitors that Sherman ought
TO be proud of her schools, because of
the high order of instruction and the
accomplishments impaired by their
superior facilities for cultivating the
young ladies of the state.
| A great sensation was created here
this morning by telephone message
from Bells, stating that the east-bound
passenger train over the Texas 4 Pa
cific road was wrecked between Bells
and Savoy, and that fourteen passen-
gers Were killed and about half that
number wounded. AS soon AS your
scribe heard the startling news he
fastened to the depot to take passage
on the wreckipg train for the scene OF
disaster, but when he reached the
office was pleased to learn from
The operator, Mr.. Wood, that
the whole story was a
sensational yarn told by some grace
less fellow at Bells, who had not the
fear of the law or the Lord before his
eyes. The truth was that the engine
TO the train had given way at the point
named, but not n truck got of the
rails, and the damage was so ttiiliDg
that the train would move Oh in one
short hour 10 its destination. The gen
tleman whose story created so much
excitement ought to be ashamed of his
thoughtless folly, and would be, II he
knew the heartaches and anxiety he
created among those whose friends
were passengers on that train.
Judge Maltbie came up to Sherman
this morning to try the habeas corpus
cases of Allison and Smart, charged 10y

Allison, and John Allison for partici,

of Gordonsville, in this county. In
the first case the defendants were adj
mitted TO bail in the sum of $1,000
each, and in the latter John
Allison was required to give
a bond of $500. The prisoners were re-
manded to Jail until the second bail /
given. So soon IA Allison's friends
