in which a mistake occurred should
read as follows:
1t is not probable that these children
can be civilized. 1t is, however, con-
coded that the methods of the mission

nations laid the foundation of all real
progress in educating the Indians. Our

On the fourth day Wall died of the dis
ease known as peritOnitis, or inflammation
of the lining membranes of the interior
of the abdomen. The pistol bullet was
the undoubted cause of Wallis death.
Mary CrIdup, who was living at Henry
Wallis, told identically the same story as
that related by Emma Stewart. John
Dunn's version of the affair also varied
but slightly as to the occurrences of the
night as related by the other witnesses.
He said, however, that when Groves went
away from Wallis house Jack Young
went with him; that after Wall had left
his house, he (witness) was the only per-
son left in the house. The witness lived
there, and Wall lived with him. Quarter
of an hour later Henry Mitchell came in,
ten minutes later came Caesar Baskerville,
then Jack Young and Groves returned.
The witness asked Groves if he had beat
en- the people that had been talking about
him. Groves said no, they 'plenished'
things up so that he let them off. They
(Groves and Young remained there but Il
short time and left together.
All Caesar Baskerville knew about the
case was that he was at Walls house
when he was brought home.
The defendant, Groves, offered no test
mony, and his attorney consented that his
client be committed without bail. This
was done.

more than a change of the names of some
of the asylums, and of the officers.
The corporate tons are the same in every

INSTITUTION FOR THE BLIND.
Design for New Dormitory Building Ac-
cepted by the Directors.

The design for the new dor1nitory at
the Institution for the Blind here was
adopted last night by the Board Of Di-
rectOrS.
There were three competing architects.
Mr.. Frank p. Milburn, of Charlotte, was
the successful man. With the under
standing that two or three minor
changes IN detail and perspective are to
be made, his design was unanimously
adopted.
The total cost of the building will be
$4,000. 1t is to be built with home
material. The plans will be out in about
six weeks, then the directors will adver-
tise for sealed bids from contractors and
an award will at once be made to the
lowest responsible bidder. Work will
begin as soon as school closes and the
building pushed to completion during
vacation. For this purpose the directors
last night ordered the school closed two
weeks earlier than usual.
The main building is to be To by 100
feet, three stories high, slate roof, with
equipment for steam heating apparatus.
The general treatment is Romanesque in
design, with two circular towers on the
front corners. There are to he five stair
ways in the building. conveniently locat-
ed.
The main or first floor will be divided
into four dormitories for small children,
with halls crossing in the centre.
The second floor is to be divided and
sub-divided into smaller dormitOries for
larger children, with halls crossing in
the centre.
One third of the third floor is to be
used for gymnasium and two-thirds of it
for an auditorium. These two rooms
are divided by a rolling partition and
can be thrown into one large hall with a
seating capacity of / ZOO persons.
The three floors are to have a IA by %
annex for layatorieS, spray bath, water
closets. pipe organ and dressing rooms.
This annex is to he connected with the
main building by a narrow passa geway,
we'll ventilated. The annex will be in
the rear. so that it will not affect the gen
eral appearance of the building.
The architect, Mr.. Milburn, is Ken
tuckian by birth. He has been in this
State about two years, but in that time
he has designed many costly buildings
churches, court-houses. buildings
and private residences. The handsome
court houses at Winston and Charlotte
are his work, as is also the new building
at Slater College. Only last Saturday
night his plans We're adopted for the new
Piedmont Insurance building in Char
lotte. which is to cost $4,000.
All the members of the Board were
present at the meeting of the Directors
last night except Mr.. h. \. Duke, of
Durham. No business was transacted
beyond the adoption Of plans for the new
building.

its introduction to other localities. An
expert will be sent at once to visit all the
nurseries lin the State and to locate any

which will be enforced will be the regis

stock that is sold will be free from such
dread infection.
The people Of the State will doubtless
cordially cooperate with the commission
in destroying these pests. Their interests
demand that great care should be exer-

fbe bought from unreliable parties, and
certainly not from aprties that can not
