DEATH or MR.. INMAN's FATHER

Referring to the death of Mr..
Shadrach Inman, father-in-law Of Mrs.
Sam Inman, formerly of Raleigh, the
Atlanta Constitution says:
THE death Of Mr.. Shadrach Inman
yesterday was the passing away of a
father in Israel--of one of those sturdy
oaks in the forest of life which have
withstood the storms and the ele-
ments, and which in old age stand in
solitary grandeur overlooking their fell
lows.
Mr.. Inman's' life, measured by the
patriarchal standard, was. one of sue
cess, blessed by providence and wit
Messing it's fruition even in this world
Within the shadow Of his eighty-sixth
year, his head silvered by the sunlight
of eternity, he lived to see a large
family of sturdy sons inheriting his
rugged qualities of integrity and his
sterling industry. Such sons as he
has left behind him are record enough
for any man and will keep alive the
name which he has adorned and illu-
minated.
"a typical American patriarch, grow
ing out of a pioneer age Of young
nation, he will be remembered as one
of the fathers of the people whose life
win be lesson and inspiration to gen
erations vet to come"

PRETORIA, Jan 1S.-It is officially stated
here that DIR. Jameson and the others who
are in prison with him will be released un.
conditionally by the Transvaal govern
ment, and that the Uitlanders, in due
course of time, will be enabled to make
their demands clearly understood
1t is aided, however, that the govern

Great Britain or any other country They
are firmly resolved to maintain the indie

1t Is stated to be quite untrue that Presi-

intention to invade the Transvaal territory
On the contrary, the president, after hay
ing been told that he had crossed the Dor
der, said: Don't tell me that Englishmen
would do that. Whatever may be said of
them, they are open and brave, and would
not make a cowardly, unprovoked attack
upon us.
President Kruger readily accepted the

about IA settlement of the disturbances

PETERSBURG, Va, Jan. 1S.-William H.
Green, colored, of New York city, was ar
rested yesterday on telegram from the
chief of police of New York. The charge
against Green is chat of stealing a diamond
breastpin and four diamond rings from
Mrs. Manson, of New York. Green denies
that he committed the theft, but claims
that the jewelry was stolen by another
party, who divided the stolen jewelry with
him, The prisoner further says that he re-
turned the jewelry which was given him
to Miss Jeanette Manson, Mrs. Manson s
daughter, to whom it belonged. There
appears to be a slight suspicion that Green
is also implicated in the Burden diamond
robbery in New York.

A CHESTER county school teacher a young
woman, was arrested the other day and
taken before the Justice of the Peace,
charged with having whipped two boys,
pupils of her school. The case was settled
by the defendant and plaintiff each paying
half the costs. Not many years ago no one
would have thought Of having a teacher
arrested for whipping nruly pupils. In
those times disobedient pupils were more
likely to receive a second whipping at home
for having deserved the first whipping at
school. Now it seems, bad boys are too good
to be whipped, paradoxical as this expression
may appear.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-When Gonzales

informed If the intended appointment of
General Polavieja,to replace Martinez De
Campos he exclaimed with enthusiasm;
Good, that is worth ten battles to us
,Chis is considered as a confession of the
fate Of the Spanish government in Cuba,
as General Campos was the first military
chief of Spain, and also one of the ablest
politicians In this opinion we are borne
out by General Azcarraga, the minister of
war of Spain who on Jan. Z, in denying
the rumor of the resignation of Campos
said. The retirement Of General Campos
will be the first national defeat before the
rebels, before Europe and before the United
States.
"Now if General Campos, who succeeded
in getting the Cubans to accept compro-
mise in 1873. has been unable to crush the
rebellion, it cannot be expected that Gen
eral Polavieia, who never showed any
military ability, as he was only an aide Of
