ARGUS BUREAU,
RALEIGH, Jan. 10, 1895.
This morning Wyatt H, Perry,
who was last week convicted in
Superior court in the second de-
gree, for the killing of Tom
Bailey, was this morning SEN
fenced by Judge Starbuck to
Imprisonment in the penitentiary
for 20 years. Mr.. Purnell, Per
rvs counsel, made a motion for
a new trial, which was refused.
He then took an appeal to the
Supreme court.
This afternoon at o'clock the
executive committee of the
Teachers Assembly met in the
Park Hotel. The members of
the committee are, Capt. c.. B.
benson, Raleigh, president; Maj.
E. G. Harrell, Raleigh, secre-
tary; E. p Moses, Raleigh; G.
W. Tones, Durham; c. F. Siler,
Holly Springs; M. L. Shipman,
Brevard; Joseph Kinsey, La
Grange; P. P. Claxton, Greens
boro.
All were present. The meet
ing was called to arrange a pro-
gram and engagement for the
next meeting Of the Assembly.
Major Harrell tells me that the
meeting promises to be the most
successful and enjoyable one yet
held. Engagements have been
made with prominent Northern
educators to be present and ad-
dress the Assembly, Among
those already engaged are DR..
| Winchell, of Boston, Dr. Budem,
of Syracuse, n. Y, and DR..
Morey, of Cambridge II is also
expected that the celebrated Col.
Parker, of Chicago, will be pres
ent. The committee meets again
this evening.
Work has commenced on the
water works system and electric
light plant that are to be added
to the A. & NJ. college dormitor-
les. The cistern from which
water will be obtained, is al
ready in place and work has
commenced on the piping. An
electric dynamo has been pur-
chased by the college and is now
being put il place. The dormi-
tories and the buildings and
grounds will be lighted by cleo
tricity.
At the wreck at Wake Forest
it is learned that one of the en-
! gineers was badly hurt. He is
now at Wake Forest. The rail
road people keep the wreck very
quiet.
Cotton receipts have been
quite heavy the past week, the
lateness of the season consider
ed. The farmers seem to haye
given up all hope of higher
prices and to want to get rid OF
their cotton as rapidly as pos
sible.
The destruction of bridges by
the recent floods will, it is said,
cost the county upwards OF
S5, 900 to rebuild them. Several
county bridges were washed
away.
It is a curious thing to see the
way in which Republicans deny
the charge that Butler is boss.
The very haste and indignation
with which they deny this is
both amusing and suspicious.
Whether Mr.. Butler is boss OF
not it has been very noticeable
so far that whatever Mr.. Butler
particularly desired has come tc
pass.
In this connection it might be
said that Barnes Brothers, who
want the public printing are very
confident, for no apparent reas-
on. 1t is we'll known that Barnes
Brothers and Mr. Butler ''stand
in" very well Perhaps the
'.boss" has condescended to put
his fingers in that little pie.
1t is strange what change
can come over a man or a set o1
men in a few days. A week age
the Baptist Legislators were in
for entirely abolishing the Uni
versity, if such a thing were
possible; now they say they viii
be very conservative in any &C
ton that they may take on the
educational question. DR.. Dur
ham is in favor of only limiting
the appropriation to two years,
while DR.. Tyler, ofWal<e Forest,
simply wants the Legislature te
knock OFF a portion of the appro
priation to uphold his principle.
1t may be stated, on authority.
that the plan of limiting the ap
preparation will be the one which
the anti-appropriation people
will undertake. Either of these
measures will be decided come
down from their former plan ane
again there is a strong sugges
ton of Buffers influence.
There was not little commen
