The School Board has chosen the
following as teachers for the next
term: Prof. w. 6. Riste, Principal;
Miss Ossie Hughes, Asst Principal;
Miss Matte DAVIS, Grammar Depart
ment; Miss Jesse Pratt, Intermediate;
Miss Julia Close, ID Primary; Mrs. E.
D. Hickenlooper, LIST Primary The
school commences Sept. 9TH. During
the past two years our schools have
been more or less disorganized by in
ternal warfare At the last school
meeting the people cheerfully voted
to tax themselves twelve mills, so that
the Board should not be hampered
for money, and they confidently ex-
pect that peace and harmony will pre-
vail. The corps Of teachers is a good
one, being made up of instructors of
experience, but can do nothing sue
cessfully unless patrons of the school
help them. There is no tax that the
people pay more cheerfully than that
for the support of the public school
system, so let the Board, the teachers
and the people of the district cooper
ate in order to get full value for the
money expended.

The game of ball at this place
Tuesday last between the Smith Cen
ter and Phillipsburg clubs resulted
in a victory for the former, as our
boys were ont played at every point.
DR.. Slagle, of Smith Center, umpired
the game in a very satisfactory man
ner. Very little money was put up
on the game. The Smith Center club
brought with it a battery for which it
expended considerable money, and as
some of the clubs hackers were out of
pocket by the transaction and could
gam no money from our people with
which 10 pay their losses. they let
their passions get away with them
and started a row. Two or three
blows bestowed by the strong arms OF
some Of Phillipsburg's warriors soon
satisfied the fighters that they were
not in it. This row is to be regretted
as the people Of the two towns could
have some very enjoyable meetings,
and as both clubs are organized fol-
sport rather than for the money the
games should be conducted peaceably

Last Friday n. B. Mccormick,
County Attorney. fled with the Clerk
of Court four indictments against
various parties for violations of the
Prohibitory laws, and issued warrants
for their arrest. He found nineteen
counts against William Baker; twelve
against John Y. Close; twenty-one
against John Lynch, and sixteen
against Louis Bierman, for whom
warrants were issued. Sheriff Scriv-
ner arrested John Y. Close, but failed
to find the others. who in some way
or other received limitations of their
danger and fed. The only man ar
rested was John Close, who was dis
charged Tuesday by the County At
torney. Monday afternoon a jury
was empaneled before Judge Friant,
composed of DR.. Brothers, g. w.
Cole, Frank Strain, n. Polling, G. D.
Heath, and z. e. Brainerd, to pass
upon Mr.. Closes sanity. The jury,
after listening to the evidence in
troduced, decided that Mr.. Close was
not capable of transacting business
and that a guardian should be ap
pointed to care for him, accordingly
Judge Frlant appointed F. j. Close
his brother, who Tuesday evening
took John to Troy, where he will b.
placed under treatment. The great
er portion Of our people are very
much dissatisfied about the way these
vlolaters get away. These failure
to arrest and convict are making
many converts to the idea of re-suh
mission.

HUNG FOR AN ASSAULT.
JAMES THoRoUGHGOOD DIES ASSERT
ING HIS INNOCENCE.

He Declared on the Gallows That He Was
Not Guilty-His Little Victim Heard HIS
Voice and at Once Became Terror
Stricken.
i DOVER, DEL, Aug flames Thorough
good (colored) was hanged in the Jail here
at 80 this afternoon for assault upon an s.
year-old girl. James Thoroughbred was a
negro, 26 years old, a native of Milford, and
had lived in that neighborhood all his life.
He married three years ago and had wife
and one child. He had steadfastly denied
that he was guilty Of the crime for which
he was executed, declaring that he was at
Greenwood. about 20 miles away, when the
crime was committed. On the 18th of
January William Burlington, a colored man
living near Viola, sent his s-year-
daughter into that village on an errand
On her way the child was Intercepted by
Thoroughbred, who carried her into the
woods and assaulted her. Thoroughbred
was captured at Harrington. When his
victim had sufficiently recovered to stand
the journey to Dover, he was identified by
her. and the Identification was supplement-
ed by strong circumstantial evidence
Thoroughbred was led from him cell
moaning and shouting, and leaning heavily
on the arms of his spiritual advisers, Rev.
DR.. Gibson and DIR. Jackson. He was
scarcely able to walk to the scaffold. Rector
Gibson read the service for the man, but his
voice was drowned in Thoroughgood's pit
eous appeals to heaven. As he walked he
kept his eyes straight above him shouting:
"Glorv to Godr' He was assisted I'D the
steps to the scaffold, averting his eyes from
the moose. After every preparation had
been made for the drop, Rev. jackson asked:
"Did you do it; you know what mean?'
The negro on the verge of eternity re-
piled: 81 am not guilty. Just as the
black cap was drawn over his head Thor
oughgood shouted: 81 am not guilty Thank
God, and as stand here on the scaffold, L
declare to God have never done injury to
men or women, living. God have mercy on
my soul"
Scarcely had the words died away when
the hatchet fell and the doomed man shot
through the trap. There was some muscu-
lar contortions but his neck was broken
and he was pronounced dead in 6}5 minutes
and cut down in 10 minutes. The hanging
was witnessed only by the jurymen, the
legal witnesses and the press representa-
tives. ThoroughgoOd's victim, little Louisa
Burlington, came in from Viola with her
mother during the morning, but could not
be induced to enter the jail, though efforts
were made to get her to confront Thorough
good When she came near enough to hear
his voice, she became so terror-stricken
that it was necessary to remove her.
