Oates, went to Montgomery to confer
with him in reference to the affairs of
the school. Having failed at the last
meeting of the board of trustees to elect
a president, it was deemed best by the
governor and the board to offer the place
to Mr. Reynolds in order that he might
properly equip and organize the school.
He has all along been urged to apply for
the place, as every one realized that
through his untiring energies and busi-
build up and prosper. This is the cause
of the good feeling in Montevallo.
We realize the Industrial school is now
a go and feel it is a reality. The
will embrace a literary education and
also the distinct industrial features
which will characterize the school and
make 1t second to none in the state.
Among the industrial branches will be
taught stenography, typewriting. book
keeping, telegraphy, dressmaking, milli-
merry, cooking, vocal and instrumental
music and art in all it's branches.
This school being intended to give girls
a business education at q minimum cost,
prices that probably are the lowest ever
known in the history of frst-class
schools have been made. Eighty dollars
covers the cost of expenses for the en-
tire session. This includes tuition in all
it's branches, board, lights and fuel, all
ordinary text books used in the school,
medical attention and laundry bills. The
faculty will be composed of the best tai
ent that can be had The most improved
school furniture and apparatus is being
ordered and everything will be in first
class condition on the opening of the
school on the 18th of September. Ar
rangements have been made to accom-
modate 200 pupils.
The sound of the hammer and saw is
heard on all sides. Today in our march
of progress two stately old magnolias,
which were landmarks and the pride of
the town, were felled to the ground to
make room for nice dwelling to be
erected.
Capt. W. r. Aldrich has generously
given years supply of his famous coal
to the industrial school.

New York, Aug. 27.-The details of

ficials in Europe learned that he had a
large quantity of Jewelry with him, and
Chief Custom House Inspector Donohue
received a cable dispatch TO that effect.
When the Ems arrived the trunk of the
Italian was searched. 1t was found to
contain false sides and false bottom.
When these were taken out 696 pieces or
jewelry were disclosed. The collection

were estimated to be worth 100000. The

cessfully 1000 stands of arms, 10000
rounds of cartridges, four cannon, 5000

SHE'S A GREAT SHIP.
The Brooklyn Is the Fastest Naval Vessel
of Her Glass.

Boston, Aug. 2Z--The new cruiser
Brooklyn today proved herself to be the
greatest naval vessel of her class in the
world by covering a distance of eighty
three knots in a run at an average speed
of 21.92 knots per hour. She still further
showed that she is capable of greater
speed than 21.92 knots by maintaining
an average of 22.9 knots during por-
ton of the run. This latter speed was
accomplished in the run back between
the third and fourth buoys, distance
of about seven knots. She also, be-
tween the first and second buoys on the
return, reached the high average of 22.4S.
In her run of eighty-three knots she had
a boiler pressure Of 100 pounds and an
average of 138 revolutions a minute, with
maximum of 140 revolutions. BY her
performance she earns for her builders,
the Messrs. Cramp of Philadelphia, boz
nus of at least $350.000 premium of $780,
900 being allowed for each full quarter
knot over twenty.

Now here is another story.

Now here is another story.
1t possesses the merit at least of that
minuteness in minor details which be-
longs to realism.
Walter James and j. p. Bryant of
Coalburg called at the State Herald office
last night.
Mr.. Bryant said that he and Mr.. James
were with Bart Thrasher at o'clock
Thursday morning, having spent the
greater portion of the night with him.
I'VE have known him." said he, "for sew
eral years and were anxious to see and
talk with him.
when the deputies, or detectives,
were shooting, as reported, we were some
distance away in conversation, but heard
the firing.
The man with Thrasher is named
Painter, and not Panther.
"Thrasher says he Is satisfied that If
captured he will be hung, and therefore
has fully made up his mind not to be
taken alive. He prefers to be buried a
free man rather than to be hung as a
criminal and prisoner.
"He says all these reports of his shoot
ing at people and committing robbery
are false. He has not been shot at nor
has he shot at anybody since he killed
Bass. His efforts have been to avoid ar
rest. He is not bloodthirsty and will
not even take advantage of any one who
manner, but will fight him to the DEATH"
James and Bryant say he looks sick
anc jaded. He has gone whole week
easing only two meals. His hand is never
Qff his gun. night or day. He has never
LETT this section since his escape from
prison. and he has spent the most of his
time in the mountains of Bibb county.
The deputies at one time walked all
around him, so near he could have al
most have touched them. He was lying
in a sink on a knoll partially filled with
leaves. There were seven or eight of the
deputies and he knew that he could not
kill them all before some one of them
would kill him.
Thrasher said he expects to be killed
sooner or later. He realizes that public
sentiment is against him and has fully
made up his mind to fight to the last.
While he has been accused of killing
several men and attempting to kill 9TH
ers, In fact he has only killed two-one
a negro and the other Bass.
Thrasher says he hopes that there is
at least some sympathy among the peo-
pie for him. He and his family have
been prosecuted beyond endurance, and
white he was raised to believe in here
after, he knows that in his case he has
already lived through all the torments of
hell three times over.
The narrative of the two callers was
very interesting, and occasionally In tell
ing their story they would correct each
other in minor points as to the exact Ian
euage Thrasher would use in talking
with them Their story, while 1t sounds
nIausihle Is given for what lit is worth.
