ST. EDWARDS COLLEGE.
Work Will be Commenced on the
New Building To- Morrow.


We are glad 90 learn that Rev. Presi
dent Hurth, of St. Edwards college, hat
at last decided to begin work upon th,
new college buildings, and that he ha'
chosen College HILL on the old Robard;
estate, for the site. A better one coulC
hardly be chosen from among the many
fine building sites on the south side of the
Colorado. IL is half a mile nearer the
city than the old college buildings, close
to the main road elevated and within full
view of the city. The place attracted the
attention of the Very Rev. Edward SOrin,
the founder of St. Edwards college, and
after whom it was named many years
ago, and he purchased it then as the site
for the new college when the old buildings
should have outgrOwn their usefulness.
That time has happily arrived, and hand
some new buildings of native limestone
will soon loom up and ada new gem to
Austin's beautiful surroundings.
The new college buildings are to be of
the modern Gothic style, three stories and
basement, with slated roof and central
tower. The material selected is white
limestone, nearly similar to that of st.
Mary's academy, which is abundant in
this section of the country. The cen err
building will he 10 feet long by 80 feet
wide. Two wings, at right angles with the
central building, will be each 80 feet lon
by A. feet wide, giving total frontage Of
100 feet and depth of so and 30 feet.
These wings and the tower Rbutting from
the rear of the center building make the
whole conform somewhat TO the general
outline of the letter Il.
The plans were designed and drawn 10y
Mr.. N j Clayton, Of Galveston, who also
prepared the pan of st. Mays church.
probably the finest church ediiice in Texas
Bids for the work were handed in for some
weeks past, and, after being submitted foI
the approval of the local administrative
board of the college, the contract wa'
awarded to Mr.. Michael Cough for thu
mason work and Mr.. Chas. Shurr for thu
carpentry and roofing. Bonds have beer
signed and secured, and work will begin
Immediately and he pushed towards com
pletion as rapidly as possible.
1t must crafty the citizens an'
especially the business men of Austin e
know that President Hurth has at length
taken these decisive steps, and that >
Edwards college is to be permanently
located at Austin. II is an open secret
we believe, that many strong induce
ments, both in money and land have o
late years been offered for its remoYa
to various points in Texas, n removal tina
would turn greatly to the disadvantage
of Austin as business and educationa
center. We have it from President Hurtt
that each of the students at the college
averages an expenditure of from $50 tC
5000 year in the city, sggregGkiDg thou
sands of dollars which go into the hand:

What further benefits of this kind may
not be expected with an attendance of two
or three hundred students in the future
and this a reasonable expectation. But

81 cannot bring you fame OF place
Among the nO.ed of the race,
But can love you.
"When trials come to test you, sweet

My kiss your precious lips shall greet,
Because love you.
"When daylight dies along the west
You will come home to me to rest,
And shall sleep upon your breast,
Because | love you.
"If sickness comes, beside your bed
| will bend low with quiet tread,
And Pray Gods blessing on your head,
Because love you
"As dew clings to the violet,
Making the fragrant chalice wet,
So my life into yours is set,
Because | love you.
"Only myself, my all bring:
But count 1t, sweet, precious thing
To give my life an Offering,
Because love you.

No hand is outstretChed in fond pity
To welcome her back to the fold.
But thanks to the Shepherd, whose mercy
Still follows his sheep, though they stray,
The weakest, and cen the fOrsaken,

And in the bright mansions of glory,
Which the blood of his sacrifice won,
There is room for the PrOdigal Daughter

AClUE TO THE FlENO.

London Police Get a Description of the
Supposed Whitechapei Butcher.
LONDON, Nov l4-The hopes of the police
of catching the VIII techapel murderer,
which had almost entirely died out, were
raised to the acme Of buoyancy yesterday
in consequence of the testimony at the Kelly
inquest of George Hutchinson, groom, Who
had known the victim for some years, and
who saw her with male companion shortly
before O'Clock on the morning Of the muir
der Hutchinson ties flied that he saw a well :
dressed man with Jewish cast of counten-
ance accost the woman on the street at the
hour mentioned on Friday morning, and the
circumstance Of his acquaintance with her
induced him to follow the pair as they walked
together He looked straight into the mans
face as he turned to accompany the woman,
and followed them to Miller court, out of
mere curiosity. He had no thought OF the
previous murders, and certainly no suspicion
that the man contemplated violence, since
his conspicuous manifestations of affection
for his companion as they walked along
formed a large part OF the incentive
| to keep them in sight After the
couple entered the house Hutchinson heard
sounds of merriment in the girls room and
remained at the entrance TO the court for
| fully three-quarters OF an hour. About
| o'clock the sounds ceased and he walked into
| the court, but finding that the light in the
room had been extinguished he went home.
| During the hour occupied in standing at the
entrance to, or pr0menading ths court, he
| did not see a policeman
There is every reason to believe Hutchin'
sons statement, and the police place great
reliance upon his description of the man, be
lieving that it will enable them to run hin
| down.

occupy it by force although the building
was claimed to belong to an American citi-
zen. The soldiers locked up the building, re
moved the coat of arms, and prevented the
consul from entering his office for week.
The American minister at Lima,
when apprised of the trouble, called
his government the details of the affair, and
was instantly instructed to demand an apoi-
ogy. The Peruvian government perempto-
rily refused to make an apology and rather
States mffRfsfsff telcgraphed the intelligence
OF the refusal, and the department of state

The recent treaty concluded between the
United States and Peru secures from out

sulates in Peru, and it is difficult to see how
serious trouble can be avoided.
