CENTENNIAL MEMORIAL HALL.
Alumne Society of s. f. A. Want One
Erected in 19O2+Their Meeting

Alumna Society of s. f. A. Want One
Erected in 19O2-Their Meeting.
The executive board of the AlumDa
Society of the Salem Female College
met last Friday at the principals
house, there being about a dozen
members present. The principal bus
mess In hand was the preparation for
the approaching commencement sea-
son.
A pros ramme for the morning busi-
ness session was laid out, the Alump a
day to be on Tuesday this year. In
the afternoon banquet will be given
by the school complimentary to the
members of the association, and the
Executive Committee assumed all re-
sponsibility in connection with the
management of the occasion. The
admission will be, as was the case last
year, by ticket, without charge, and a
full announcement will be made to
the members later. The presenta-
tion Of the Memorial entrance to the
Park, by a member Of the Glass of '96,
will be one of the features OF the day.
In addition to the other routine
business the committee unanimously
passed resolution urging the trustees
OF the College to arrange for the erec-
tion Of Centennial Memorial Hall
in the year 1902, IL they can see their
way clear to inaugurate the enter
prise. This celebration, which is now
so rapidly approaching, is one of
great Interest to the community as
we'll as to the school and 1t is hoped
that all of the friends of the Institu-
tion will assist in making the occa-
sion a worthy one. The Alumn8
Committee adjourned to meet again
on the 9th of May.

SYRIAN ASSAULTED.
Struck Twice on the Head With a
Stick in the Hand of Negro,
Who Tried to Steal Money

VINO 1TlSQ TO steal money.
K Honey, Syrian, who conducts
a small store at 128, Fourth street,
near Mr.. Hinshaw's store-house, was
brutally assaulted in his store about
10 o'clock Thursdao by a negro, the
name of whom Honey does not know.
Honey says he was standing be-
hind his counter changing some can-
dy from one box to another when a
burly negro stepped in the store with
a stick in his hand. When the Syrian
turned around to put a box on the
shelf the negro struck him a terrible
blow over the head. The stroke was
repeated and Honey dropped down to
prevent being struck again.
The negro, thinking his man was
dead, ran around the counter and
grabbed the money purse, containing
about S22, which was lying on a shelf.
When Sambo put his hand on the
pocket-book Honey raised up and
caught his antagonist In the collar
with one hand and the stick in the
other.
The disturbance created evidently
frightened the negro, as he left with
out getting a cent Of money or any
goods. His stick was also left in the
store.
Honey says he would know the ne
gro il he could see him When asked
II the stick was broken over his head,
the Syrian's brother replied: Yes,
he broke stick aud head BOTH"
The wounds inflicted were two or
three inches long. They were sewed
up and dressed by DIR. Summers. The
wounded mans brother spent the
night with him. His wounds gave
him much pain but he was much bet
ter today.
The officers have no clue as yet to
the guilty party.

WINSTON WATER WORKS.

Supt. Magruder's Fine Report-Col-
lections-water Good.
Mr. J. o. Magruder, City Engineer
and Superintendent of Water Works,
submitted an excellent report to the
Winston Aldermen, at their meeting
last week 1t speaks for itself
and proves that Mr.. Magruier Is ''the
right man in the right place." The
report, which was highly satisfactory
to the Board, was accepted. It reads
as follows.
Amount of cash collected from Oct.
1st, '96, to April 1st, '97, S3, 3S1 %; un-
collected bills on shand April 1st,
S6. As, which will be paid in before the
10th inst. This shows an increase
over the preceding six months OF
8400. The annual income is now
about S6, $50 In cash. which amount,
added to the 81 $50 which was former
ly paid the old water company for
hydrant rents, is an equivalent of
s8, 200 per annum.
In August, 1896, the State Board of
Health analyzed all the water sup
plies in the State and reported that
there was q suspicion OF objection
able matter in the Winston water. i
then had each or the sources OF supply
analyzed and found the trouble to be
In a very small stream, which entered
the creek just East of Depot street,
flowing from the southeast. The
course of this stream was at once
changed so that all of its water now
| flows around the supply pond and is
not used. ] then had another analysis
of the water which is as follows
"Sample clean, no sediment, no fer
mentation In glucose or lactose, bouil.
Ion; water very good.

THE TARIFF BILL.
Probable That Will Not Get Through
This Session.


This Session.
By Telegraph to The Sentinel.
WAsHINGTON, April 9.-There is
said to be serious trouble over the
tariff bill in the Senate committee,
and there is absolute indifference in
that body to the action Of Mr. Reed
in rushing the bill through the House
and afterwards adjourning every three
days. 1t is the impression now that
the tariff bill will fail to be passed by
this extra session OF Congress. Sena-
tor Chandler is authority for the
statement that the demand for pro-
hibitive duties on various products is
so great and imperative, and the SEN
timent Of some Republicans so yield
ing to this demand, that the defeat OF
the bill is almost foregone conclu-
sion.
The Senators, the Republicans es-
pecially, are in no hurry with the
tariff bill, and they are not at all
frightened by the attitute OF Mr.. Reed
and his do-nothing policy OF adj jo Irn-
ing from time to time ia order TO de-
monstrate to the country that all the
delay in legislation is caused by the
Senate. There is also growing discon-
tent in the House against the Speaker
and his deSpotic rulings.

A FALSE ALARM.
The Report That DIR. Wheeler Had
Been Appointed Postmaster.

The Report That DIR. Wheeler Had
Been Appointed Postmaster.
A report was current here Wednesday
last week that DR.. wa. Wheeler had
been appointed postmaster of Wins
ton. This is not true. Mr.. E.. H. Wilson,
our present efficient postmaster, will
hardly go out before next January,
when his four years expire.
The report referred to originated,
it appears, from statement In the
Washington Post of the 9Th inst,
giving the names of North Carolin-
ians who were in Washington and
"hope to make political landing be-
fore many days" The Post has it
that DR.. Wheeler, the .ormer post
master, has the promise OF receiving
his old place again. DR.. Wheeler is
at home.
The Post has it also that Col. Mott
has withdrawn from the race for Dis,
trict Attorney in favor OF Chairman
HOltOn.

THE NEW ELECTION LAW.
1t Has a Provision About Holding
City Elections.

1t Has a Provision About Holding
City Elections.
Grants new election law passed by
the last legislature makes some i'm
portant changes. One of these pro-
vides for board consisting of the
clerk of the Superior Court, register
of deeds and chairman of the
board of county commissioners,
who are constituted committee to
appoint poll holders, registrars, etc,
for the general elections.
Another provision says all city cleo
tions shall be held on the first Tues
| day in May. This conflicts with the
charter of Salem, which provides for
| elections on the first Monday in May,
arrangements for which have already
| been perfected-before the new law
/ was known.
However, the full text of the new
| law has not been seen here. 1t is said
| there is provision in it excepting
| those cities or towns whose charter
makes provision for holding the reg
| ular elections.
| Clerk Of the Court Wilson does not
| think the new law will interfere with
/ Salem holding her election on the first
| Monday in May. as usual.
