submit that we have diligently en-
CURED into all offeIses, that was

We have examined the county jail

in good condition, and the prisoners
well treated.
We therefore beg to be dis
charged. THos. G. CLAY,

Hook and Ladder Banquet.

The Hook & Ladder banquet
Tuesday night, celebrating the
Oath anniversary of their organiza
ton was one of the most elaborate
affairs of the kind ever held here.
The banquet was given to the fire
department and a number of invited
guests at their hall, and was grand
success. Col. D. C. Giddings made
the speech of the evening reviewing
the history of the fire department
in BRENNAN, and relating many re.
miniscences of its early history that
were revelations to many of the
present members.
The supper was served on the
first floor of their hall, and consisted
of a large list OF substantials as well
as some of the daintiest delicacies,
served with punch and beer.
Judge Kirk, president of the Com
pany was master of ceremonies and
called out toasts quite freely naming
the respondents, until everything
that deserved it had been toasted.
Owing to the late hour of its con
elusion only a meagre report of the
affair, which was grand success in
every respect" could be given in this
mornings paper.

THE NEW LUrHERN COLLEGE.

Now that this institution is in full
working order, and its machinery is
running smoothly, a few words
about its condition may interest
those who take a pride in the educa.
tional advantages our city now of
fers.
The courses provided for in the
school are the preparatory, CONNER
claI, classical and music. The pre-,
paratorY includes all classes from
the 4th grade up to the normal,
but, as this is the first year
the management have arranged
temporary primary department
under the belief that there would
be time for the teachers to attend
to such a grade, now, however,
the number of students has in
creased so rapidly that it will soon
be necessary to separate the lower
grades entirely from the rest and
relieve the teachers from any atten-
ton to them IN order to do justice
to their rapidly increasing numbers
in the more advanced courses. There
are asyet only three teachers, viz: G..
Langner, c. klaener and R. L. Gan
non, but the number will beincreased
as needed, there being now forty
students.
The school year at this college is
divided into three terms, the first
ending at Christmas, the second at
Easter time, and the third about
the first of July. The college has
adopted the latest approved methods
of records, and it is natter of but a
moments work to ascertain what
each pupil was doing at any time
during the term.
One of the strictest requirements
of the college is regularity, and
students are not admitted to any
course until they are thoroughly
competent, hence the large atten-
dance in the preparatory department
this year.
It is common fault to push
students ahead too fast that the
managent of this school try to avoid.
There are half dozen students
taking the commercial course, and
altogether the outlook for the sue
cess of this new Brennan College
is very fattering, and it one day
promises to rank second to none in
the State and be the pride of this
section.

A Cutting ARRAY.

About 2 p. m. Tuesday Henry
Garrett, sixteen year old colored
boy, who was boot-black and brush
boy at Joe Parker's barber shop on
Sandy street went into the bakery
of Mr. G. H. Welkens, two doors
west on the same street, on some er-
rand, and difficulty that the negro
boy had had with Charlie Haffner, a
young white man, one of the en-
ployees in the bakery, a few days. ago
was renewed, the negro viciousiy
lunging a pocket knife into the left
side of the young Hafner, cutting a
cash about two inches long, making
painful, if not dangerous wound.
Deputy Sheriff Sallus arrested the
colored boy and locked him up.

Perry Jones Captured.

Perry Jones, the notorious house
burglar, who has been burglarizing
houses in Brennan for the past two
or three years has at last been cap
tured as will be seen from the fol
lowing, which is Fridays dispatch
from Bryan:
''This afternoon about 5 o'clock
the city marshal had a lively chase
after negro, Perry Jones, wanted
in Brennan for burglary. After
spotting the negro Marshal Nall,
aided by deputy, called on him to
surrender, instead of which he took
to his heels. Mr., Nall in vain called
on his coonshlp to halt, but he
would not. After firing several
shots and a lively race, he gave up.
He saws he is the right man."

A BRAVE GIRL
Thwarts a Negro Brute in an Attempt
to Rape.
During White Mans Absence From
Home, Near Kinney, Negro Brute
Assaults His Fourteen Year
Old Girl.

Tuesday morning Joe Hall was
arrested and lncarcerated in the
Austin county jail at Bellville,
charged with an attempt at one of
the most henious ofenses known to
the decalogue of crime, which at
tempt he made Sunday night.
Sunday last Mr.. Wilmington, 3
white man residing near Kinney left
his home with two of his children to
go to Chappell Hill, leaving seven
year old boy and a IA year old girl
at home. He did not return during
the night, and some time between
midnight and day the girl heard
some one at her door, and was
awakened just in time to see that a
negro man had entered. She leaped
from the bed, screamed and called
her father, as he grabbed her, pre-
tending that he was at home hoping
to brighten the brute away, at the
same time rushing towards trunk
for pistol. The negro was taken
by surprise and retreated to the
next room to see if the father was
really coming, and before he had
time to get back he was looking
down the cleaning barrel of a six
shooter and lodged out at the back
door. As he passed the young
ladies window she saw him and rec
ognized him as Joe Hall, a negro
buck, living near by, and sent a A
crashing through the window at
him as he ran by. FEELING herself
equal to cope with him now she
threw open the front door and fired
at him as he came around the house,
and again as he ieaped the front
garden fence, which he fell down be
hind for safety and the fourth time
as he ran of.
Alone there the children spent the
remainder of the night and until the
fathers return next day. He lis
tened to her story and went to con-
suit a neighbor as to what he should
do, his first inclination being to take
a shot gun and shoot the scoundrel.
but his neighbor advised him to
send for Sheriff Glenn and make an
investigation and have him arrested.
Sheriff Glenn went up and worked
faithfully to secure evidence corrob-
orative of the girls story, and sue
ceeded, and Tuesday morning
locked him up. The negro claimed
that he could prove that he was at a
negro ball all night at Kinney by Jer-
ry Wilson, but he only proved his
whereabouts until midnight, and the
girls testimony was to the effect
that the assault occurred between
midnight and day. The matter was
kept quiet until Tuesday to prevent
a lynching.

In Memoriunl,

Mrs. Leonora Campbell, who died
at her home in this city, at II
o'clock Friday night, after an illness
of several weeks duration with
typhoid fever, brief mention only OF
which was made in Saturdays Ban
NER, was 81 years of age, and the
widow OF Geo. ". Campbell, the
gallant ensign of JEFF Davis regi-
ment of dauntless Mississippi volun-
teers, who bore the colors to victory
on his bayonet at Monterey in the
war between the United States and
Mexico, after they had been shot
from his hands the third time and
the staff shattered, and to whom she
was a model wife. But the grim
messenger of death with his invert-
ed torch, who stalks abroad, is no
respector of persons, and beckons
from among us the purest noblest
and best. The life of Mrs. Camp
bell was one so sweet, so amiable,
gentle and kind, that she had drawn
around her large circle of warm
friends who grieve with the be-
reaved family at her demise. She
was faithful mother, a desirable
neighbor and a true friend, and
words can scarcely express the polg-
nant grief her demise has caused, so
many hearts who had hoped to pass
still further down life's rugged path
way with her.
Her funeral took place from the
family residence Saturday afternoon
at 4 o'clock and was largely at
tended.
