The Nashville American sass:
The election Of John G. Carlisle to

The Savannah News says: The

1t is too soon to make predictions as

The golden ears were not yet brown

THE COOLEY GANG.
''0ld Fiat The Home of Criminals
Comes to the Front Again.

John Pastorius Of Cooley gang
fame committed one of the boldest
robberies at Masontown, Pa, a few
days ago in the history of the town
and the audaeity of his escape from
the posse of citizens who pursued
him is almost without a parallel in
the county. Pastorius is about 20
years old He was visiting his sis
ter, Lids, the Cooley Queen, who
married VIM. Cummings and resides
here. He walked into Rhodes Bros.
store and loaded up with merehan
disc principally rich laces. r. p.
Rhodes, one Of the proprietors. dis
covered the theft and overhauled
Pastorius recovering all the goods he
had stolen. While Rhodes was hunt
ing an officer to make the arrest
Pastorins went to his sisters home
and stole her husbands best suit of
clothes. A posse started in pursuit
and soon came ny with Pastorius,
but the latter forced them to keep
their distance with his revolver AS
they were not armed he had the ad-
vantage. When the fugitive tired
of the fight he sat down under a
shade tree to rest. His pursuers
had to stand by until he chose to go
on. John Hunsaker undertook to
capture Pastorius and started toward
him with a club but Pastorius fired
on him and drove him back. Miner
Gray intercepted the fugitive some
distance out of town and tried to
capture him but Pastorius pulled
his revolver and made him fly, At
last after enjoying the chase till he
was tired Pastorius leaped over into
corn field and was lost to view
Pastorius was arrested with the
Cooley gang but was released on ac-
count Of his age

Numerous Notes.

The work, in the college, which be
gan so auspieiously last Wednesday,
still goes on. Everything bids fair
for this to be the most prosperous
year in the life Of the University.
In point, of numbers it far exceeds
any previous enrolment for the same
length of time The number that
has already matriculsted is 293. The
new professors seem to be getting
their work well in hand, and will
soon be at it like veterans.
President Goodnight introduced
something new on the afternoon of
the first day by having DR. Hartigan,
Dean johnson and Prof. Brooke give
talks to the students on various
subjects. They were very interest
ing and entertaining; especially in
structive, was DR. Hartigan's talk
on physical training, in which he
touched upon diet. Could the Doc
tor have his way, tough meat and
unwholesome food would disappear
from the tables entirely. What re
joicing there would be, if he should
succeed in having his way.
At mass meeting on Wednesday
afternoon the boys elected Prof Cut

team this season. There are a great

there is no reason why they should
not succeed.
Dean johnson gave his inaugural
address to the law classes on Thurs
day. He was followed by Professors
Brooke and Wiley. The law de-
partment is full to overlooking. 1t
will be but a short time until a new
building will have to be erected for
its accommodation.
The assignment Of seats in chapel
took place on Monday. The absen-
tees will be called by the file leaders,
thus shortening the long tedious roll
call.
The work in the military depart
ment began on Thursday. The new
cadets were assigned to companies.
Forty three were enrolled the first
day. Quite number have been ia

cadets is now 81 which is the high
