TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept. S.-The as
signee of Coates's College holds out the hope
that perhaps the institution will be re-

by the defalcations of Charnley. who was
secretary of the Presbyterian Board for Col

when an effort was made to get the college
out of its financial difficulties, the board
promised to give $4,000 if the remaining
$4,000 were subscribed and paid in. The

PROMINENT GEORGIAN DEAD.
Col. Isaac w. Avery Falls from the
Porch of His RESIDENCE.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 8.-Col. Isaac w.
Avery, at one time editor of the Atlanta
Constitution and foreign commissioner to
Mexico and the South American republics
for the cotton State and international expo
sition of 1895, fell from the porch of his resi-
dence in Kirkwood, a suburb of this city,
last night and died this afternoon.
Colonel Avery was one of the best known
Georgians of his day. He was dashing
cavalry colonel in the Confederate army
and commanded brigade the last year of
the war. He was editor of the Atlanta
Constitution for several years and started
Henry w. Grady in his career on that pa
per. He wrote a history of Georgia which
holds high rank, and was a prolific con-
tributor to periodicals and newspapers. His
last work was the originating of a move
ment for direct trade between Southern
and European ports, which has since grown
to considerable proportions.

Held without warrant.

1t begins to look as though Noah Baney
and Guy Van Tassel are being held in the
Marion county jail without real cause. 1t
is the understanding that they are held
here merely to give the grand jury of Hen
bricks county a chance to investigate
Baney's claim that he, Van Tassel and
John Whitney are guilty of the murder of
Thurza Hinshaw: but there must be some
charge against the men to detain them
The records of the Criminal Court show
that Bancy and Van Tassei were indicted
with another man. Oct. 80. 1894, for rob-
bling Martin Fritch of SIS and a watch
But the indictment cannot be found and it
is hardly possible that another could be
obtained at this late date.
II. G. Cox, Baneys new attorney, says
that Baney's story about the Hinshaw case
is all a myth. He claims that he does not
know Baneys motive in making his al
legged confession but says he is confident
that his client will not be indicted at Dam
vile. He will make no objection to the
removal of Baney and Van Tassel to Hen
bricks county at any time, he says.
