Educational Facilities Of E~scatawpa.

------- Il
A called meeting Of the school patrons OF
Escatawp a was held st the X. Of +. Hall in
Escatawpa, Miss, on Saturday evening" Sept.
%, 1895, for the purpose of considering school
questions for the ensuing term.
On motion Mr.. Jos. Cirlot was elected chair
man and s. Sutton secretary OF the meeting
In view of the short term of free school al
lowed us, and no satisfactory applicant for the
position of teacher for the free term having
presented himself, some of the citizens had
suggested a postpone,nent of the free term I'M
til next season, when It could be merged with
the succeeding term, giving us an eight
months session.
This question was thoroughly discussed by
the meeting, with the result that a motion
prevailed to that effect, after which, on a
further motion, Prof. s. II. Shannon, Of Esca-
tawpa was unanimously invited to take charge
of a private school, to be established in this
community under the direction of a board
composed of the present trustees Of the public
school, namely: Messrs. Sutof, Jos. Cirlot and
Will Rhodes.
Pref. Shannon accepted the school on its
merits, and the cost of tuition will be based on
grades Of pupils, which will be fair to all con-
cerned and bring the average cost to a very
moderate figure.
The people Of Escatawoa are congratulatlng
themselves upon having succeeded in arrang'
ing their school affairs so as to retain Prof
Shannon, who is regarded as a cultured, chris
tian gentleman, an earnest, good citizen and q
Competent, thorough and wise instructor
whose efforts in past school terms have beer
successful as regards progress made by h's
pupils, and warmly appreciated BY the schoo
patrons. The people are all alive to the IN
p~ortance and necessity Of a good school II w
are to amount TO anything as a community
We have the first requisite now, which IS,
good, efficient instructor who has the full con
fdeuce Of the people; the rest lies with TIN
people themselves in corporation and a con
~tinuous hearty interest in the schools affairs
and this we believe Prof. Shannon may fee
assured Of In advance.

S~WEETHEIRT, GOODBYE!



Amid the soft. sweet, tender glow
or twilight's deepening hour,
1 fingered alone mid the bcautions scene,
And felt loves gentle power.
The stars shown bright in their tender light,
In beauty from on high,
Whilst DER my heart there fell a blight
As whispered-.'sweetheart Good-bye!"
The night birds cooling safely sang
Loves sweet old tender lay.
The sad waves lashcd the whitened sands
And seemed to safely play,
That tender theme that sadly feels
With many a weary sigh,
Upon the heart that sadly calls
..Good-byel Sweetheart, Good-byeH"
IT'S cruel fate that bids US part;
That sleeps our hearts In tears.
His, mid the dark and weary days
Thro'out the coming years,
know that thou wilt faithful be,
To each find tender tie.
All, yes, thy love my guide shall be-
But,--Sweetheart, Goodbye!

New YOrk's Primaries Show Gains for
Thomas A. Platt.
Republican primaries were held in each
of the 1892 election districts of New York
city last night, and the results show VIC
tories for Thomas c. Platt, the Morton
leader, in most of them. The primaries
were held for the purpose of electing dele
gates to assembly district conventions
which will elect delegates to the state con-
vention and congressional district conven-
tions, where the delegates to the st. Louis
convention will be chosen.
While the Platt men claimed to have
held Their own in all the districts where
they are now in control, the Brookeld
men made strong claims to gains in the
fifteenth and twenty-sixth assembly dis
tr.cts, and the indications were that Will
liam Brookfield and Gen. Anson C. McCook
will be sent to ST. Louis as delegates from
the fifteenth congressional district. They
both assert that they are for Morton for
President, but have a strong leaning for
Mckinley. In the twenty-ninth district the
delegates were for Morton as a first choice
but were divided between Mckinley and
Reed for second choice.
T. c. Campbell claimed that he would be
chosen as delegate to st. Louis from the
fourteenth congressional district, but the
followers of Congressman Qu;gg and Abe
Grubef said there was no doubt but these
would be chosen.

AN ECHO OF THE BOND ISSUE.

Boston Man Who Made n Lucky HIT
Did Not Pay Those Who Aided Him.
Russell Sage was one of several defen-
dants in the suit of the Hancock National
Bank Of Boston, against Abraham White
motion in which case was before Justice
MacLean in the supreme court in New
York city yesterday. Abraham White was
one of the bidders for the late issue of gov
ernment bonds He is reported to have
had very little capital. The Hancock Ma
tional Bank and Russell Sage aided him in
handling the bonds. The bank people claim
that they did not get the commission prom
ised, and brought suit
An injunction was issued restraining sew
eral of the defendants-Mr. Sage among
them-from turning any moneys they
might have Of Mr.. White over to him.
When the tank asked to have the injunc-
tion continued, Mr.. Sage's counsel said
that so far as his client was concerned he
had disposed of his bonds and paid White
what he owed him before the original in
junction was issued. After hearing the
facts In the case Justice MacLean vacated
the injunction. and an appeal will be taken.
The injunction asked for by the Hancock
Bank was based on the ground that White
mad no right to give any part Of the trans
action to any one else after having entered
into an agreement with the institution.

the number of Mussulmans killed by the
Armenians in these villages and in the
neighboring ones, Zeitoun, Enderin, was
and that the number of houses burned was
about 500; that the Armenians committed
horrors by cutting off the breasts of wo-
men, by strangling children before the eyes
OF their parents, and then by killing them
after having burnt their eyes with gun
powder. Like veritable tyrants, they mas
sacred first the three children and then the
wife Of the unfortunate lieutenant whose
murder has already been described in his
presence and compelled the corporal of the
mounted police to endure the same fate,
and also the corporal Of the regular army.
"Advices from the Mutessarif of Marash
state that the vilayet Of Alepp has trans
mitted a telegram announcing the capture
by the Armenian brigands Of the two police
ofhcials, who had been secretly sent to
Alambich to open an inquest. It is stated
that the Armenians killed them in most
brutal manner. burning their bodies. After
having violated the wife and young children
OF the lieutenant, Assam Agha, they massa-
cred them, as has been already stated.
Government Property Burned.
''They burned the government house at En-
derin and eleven villages, of which they
nassacred the population. They seized
about $50 brides and virgins, and, taking
them to Zeitoun, after having violated them,
massacred some in the most barbarous man
ner, together with some sixty military pris-
oners. They fastened together the corpses
and threw them thus fastened into the
stream which runs through, the town. These
facts were proved by the production of these
bodies at the judicial inquest. Notwith-
standing all these atrocities the Mussulman n
population not only committed no premedi-
tated murders on women or children of the
Armenians but showed the greatest pity and
mercy In regard to them and watched over
their security.
During all these occurrences the Arme-
r.1ans made use Of bombs of dynamite and
of all sorts Of weapons, and sprinkled vitriol
on the soldiers and inhabitants"
Word From John Wannmaker.
The citizens permanent relief committee
of Philadelphia has received cablegram
from John Wanamaker, who at the present
time is in Constantinople. He confirms what
has been said and printed about the Arme-
nian situation. and declares that the present
necessity is appalling. Mr.. Wanamaker
strongly approves the transmission of funds
as has been done by the citizens permanent

SUPPOSED Thief CAPTURED

A Shrewd Domestic Detained the Man

For some time past residents OF Capitol
Hill, particularly in the vicinity OF LIST and
A streets northeast, have been troubled by
the visits Of young colored man, who re-
lieved their halls Of umbrellas, canes. hats.
ovsrcoats and similar articles. The fellow
would generally enter the front doors of
the houses by means of false keys, but
sometimes he would find the doors un-
locked. If detected before stealing any ar
ticle he would explain that he was looking
for Mr.. So and So, giving. Of course. a fic-
titious name. The robberies became SO
frequent and annoying that the police Of
the ninth precinct unusually exerted
themselves to catch the fellow. Their ef-
forts were unsuccessful. however. and 1t
remained for a private citizen, MIR. HI. C.

some one tapped on it, The girl, upon
light colored negro man Of about twenty
years Of age. He inquired IL Mr.. w.

told him that he did not. but that Mrs.
lived. The girl then called Mrs. Sholes,
who invited the fellow into the kitchen
until she could call Mr.. Sholes down
stairs, she at once being convinced
that the fellow was the man who had been
robbing her neighbors. The man became
somewhat uneasy, but Mrs Sholes quieted
him until the coming OF her husband by
telling him that Mr.. Sholes knew the man
he was looking for.

In a few moments Mr.. Sholes came down
stairs and, as the servant girl had inform

his pockets. AS soon as Mr.. Sholes saw
the young negro, ne became satisfied that
he was the thief, and as the fellow could
give no satisfactory explanation, Mr..
Sholes sent his son for the police. Then
the fellow became very indignant, and at
