 Professor" Jim Glass, the pugil- 1 ist from Pensacola who fought
 the ten-round bout with Mike Cal l lahan at the Athletic club rooms on Mon 1 day night. is languishng now behind the 1 bars at the county jail, and until he sue l ceeds in making a $250 bond will remain l there. He was tried before Recorder
 Sanford this morning. and a mighty
 .strong case of grand larceny made out, With the extenuating circumstances of l drunkenness and a broken face The circumstances of the case are sub l stantially as follows:
 l Pusilist Glass got on a big booze after
 his boxing match with Mike Callahan. 1 and early in the morning he wound up
 in the vicinity of the Windsor hotel. MT. T. V. Stevens, a drug clerk, with
 $200 in his pocket, haling from Selma,
 arrived on the o'clock train, and in
 front of the Windsor he in some manner 1 formed an acquaintance with Glass. l Drinks were in order. and Stevens says l they only had two rounds of whisky. 1t
 must have been terrible stuff, since the l two drinks effected the complete knock l cut of Mir. Stephens, for to all intents 1 and purposes, particularly walking and l talking, the young Selmian was par | alyzed.
 l It would seem that Glass stood up un- l der his load of liquor, however, and or l dered hack for the train, leaving Mr. l Stephens handbag in a bar. The negro l driver was ordered to drive to q cer 1 tain house on Dexter avenue. At that | certain house, or resort, Glass. so the l hackman says, got out and paid him l and then turned back down the street, | ordering him to carry MT. Stephens up l stairs. This he did, meeting the pro l prietress at the landing.
 1 T want to tell you, madam, that this gentleman had a big roll of money in
 his hand, and while in my hack, the l man who was with him. took it away l from him. He went back down town"
 You call policeman right now. and l tell him about that. This man will get l sober and want his money. and suspi- | cion might rest on you or somebody il | this house." replied the woman. l The hackman at once called police man and related what had occurred. l Messrs Payne and Murphy were called l in and found MT. Stephens in a Stupor | that appeared to them more like the
 effects of opiates than liquor It was l several hours before Stephens revived. l When he finally recovered his senses l Stephens stated to the officers that he 1 had been robbed of about $200; that he l had more than that sum when he met l Glass, and $15 was then all the money I left him.
 1 Going to the station house Stephens l swore out warrant charging Glass l with grand larceny. It was promptly l served, but no money was found on Glass 1 or about the pugilists room.
 This morning S160 of the $200 stolen l was recovered by the police. It was l found in the possession of member of the Memphis baseball club, who is stay 1 ing at the Windsor. He says that Glass, l to whom he had been introduced during l the evening" gave him tha men>y and l asked him to keep it for him. As soon | as the baseball man learned that the | money was stolen he hastened to turn 1 it over to the officers. in whose possession 1 it now is. Chief Gerald attaches no 1 blame to the ball player, as 1t is com l mon occurrence for men when drinking l to turn what money they may have over l to friends for safe keeping.
 Upon the recommendation of Chief l Gerald young Stephens was placed under l a bond of his own recogniZance. Superintendent Turner's Circular. l Superintendent Turner has issued the l following circular to superintendents and l teachers:
 State of Alabama. Office of Educational Department, Montgomery, Ala, July 9, 1895.
 To County Superintendents and Teach CTS.
 It is with the deepest regrets on the part of the departments here that an other delay on the part of the school | fund, due the teachers of the state, | could not be avoided. Having been both teacher and county superintendent, I | know full well the disappointment real ized both by the individual teacher and l the county superintendents In my circu- lar letter of February 26, 1895, sent to county superintendents, set forth the f,,11 s,,fO ,ix7o fhn and duties of all connected with it. By reference to page of circular you will find that I stated immediately after the receipt of the pay roll the same was approved and turned over to the au- ditor and that here the duty of the state superintendent relative to the pay roll ceased until the pay roll is returned by the county superintendent properly re- ceipted."
 On page 9 of the same circular stated, If from any cause not the fault of the
 county superintendent the money is de-
 layed and does not reach him in time
 for the. regular pay day, then in that
 event the county superintendent will be
 allowed his regular number of days in
 which to pay teachers"
 After consultation with the depart
 ments connected with the school funds,
 have decided to inform the county SUD-
 erintendents and teachers that just now
 it is impossible to say definitely when the
 money for the third quarter will be forth
 coming. It is now thought that the same
 wil be ready in thirty days or less time;
 still, it may be longer, but no day can
 now be fixed on which tosfix the pay day
 for teachers with absolute certainty.
 All can say is that at the very earliest
 day possible the money will be for.
 warded, and ample time will be given
 county superintendents in which to ad- vertise new pay day and pay teachers.
 Therefore, until county superintend.
 ents receive further notice, 1t Is entirely
 useless to spend time and money by writ
 ing and telegraphing the departments
