A Mississppi murderer occupies cell in the
city prison, where he will remain until an Off
Ger and requisition can come from Percy, a
small town in the southern portion OF the state.
The prisoner is q negro named James Hopkins.
Last night about O'Clock Detectives Bed
ford and Cason were moving through the
Georgia Pacific railway yard when they OBJ
served man passing cautiously between two
freight trains with a trunk upon one shoulder
and large valise in his hand. He. appeared
to be trying to avoid being seen, and the detec-
tives decided to interview him. They ap-
preached him cautiously, and when within a
few feet, Detective Cason said:
"Stop a second, please"
The man quickly dropped his trunk and
wheeled around. AS he turned he threw his
hand upon his hip pocket.
"What doyou want?" he asked.
'Who are you?" asked Detective Bedford.
swered the negro.
"Well, we will just make it our business, -
said Detective Bedford, advancing a step.
stop there or I'll blow you to HI and
gone" said the negro.
AS the words dropped from his lips the ne
gro threw pistol in the officers face. His
finger was resting upon the trigger and the
muzzle was within few inches of the detec-
tive's face. The situation was not pleasant
one and Bedford stopped.
But his associate was on hand.
AS the negro was leveling the pistol on
Detective Bedford, Cason sprang to one side,
and, almost before the negro had finished his
cammand, large, heavy stick came down on
his wrist. The blow was given by Detective
Cason, and was haE,. enough to paralyze the
negro's hand. Bis arm dropped to his side,
but as it came down his finger pressed against
the trigger, and there was a loud report
The negro, though disarmed and crippled,
fought the detectives stubbornly, and even
after he was inside the prison made an attempt
again. His trunk and valise were carried TO
the city prison with him, and as he refused to
answer any questions, the detectives decided
to open his trunks. In the valise they found
a letter with the Percy postmark on it. This
caused Detective Bedford to recall the circu-
lar, and among the papers filed away it was
found.

his hand in his pocket.
The officers pulled the hand out after
struggle and on the back found an ugly scar,
such as a burn would make.

Cason. at ought to DO an inch andsa half by

Later in the night the detectives ascer-
tanned that the negro had sister living in
Atlanta, and that he had been with her about
two weeks and was going 20 Birmingham last

Opening of the archaeological School.
The archaeological school was formally pre-
sented to the state yesterday.
The exercises were full of interest.
few minutes before twelve o'clock the
trustees, headed by Ex-Governor Mcdaniel
and Hon. n. j. Hammond, went in a body to
the machine shop, followed by large number
of ladies and gentlemen, Everything was in
readiness to start the machinery.
AT the end of the machine shop, in scrupu-
lousy neat engine room, the forty-horSe en-
CINE stood motioness with polished slides and
steam chest. 1t was beautiful piece of ma
chinery, made on tho Buckeye pattern, by last
years class at the Worcester chronological in
stitute.
On each of the two eccentrlcs was fixed a
small United States flag, and the hand wheel
of the throttle was ornamented with three
blue, red and gold rosettes.
When the hoarse whistle blew the signal
for twelve Miss Nellie Inman was escorted to
gloved hands. took firm hold of the throttle
wheel and turned it steadily back about six
inches.
The steam Kissed and spurted the eccentrics
jumped back and forth. waving the flags as
they moved the steam valves, and the big fly
wheel drove the machinery. There was a
humping ofapplause on the floor of the ma
chine shop and the crowd turned to
hear Professor Higgins. who addressed
the trustees for about twenty minutes, ex-
pitsiuiiS INC WOrh Ol tllS ttCnHOlORlcal SCHOOL
and taking up the shop aud foundry in detail
from the cupola, where the pig iron is taken
to the machine shop where the perfect ma
chine is turned out.
"We have very fine equipment" said Mr..
Duncan, the foreman. 81 think it is fully as
good as that of the Worcester shop, and with
the improvements it is better. We have the
advantage of a better arrangement of the
building than they have at Worcester. We
have fifteen laths varying from ten to twenty
inches in swing, and in length from four to
eighteen feet
Mr.. Duncan was asked how many boys he
could work in the machine shop.
"Just as many as they will give me-" he re-
piled. "We can't take them in this shop,
however, until they have learned something.
They can put them to work at once in the
woodworking department"
"What will you make?"
Anything in the world of iron or steel. We
will be busy for while making tools for the
shops"
There are now % students at the technology
cal institute. and DR.. Hopkins has letters from
half dozen more who will be here within a
few days. The boys get board for fifteen dol
lars month in neighborhoods convenient to
the school.
There is only one pay student, and that
1s MIR. Stone, from Kentucky, who pays $3.50 a
year-almost a prohibitive price.
