GAVE HIMSELF UP.
Griffin at Oxmoore in Self Defense Surrenders and Is in Custody.

Yesterday morning P. s. Hickman bookkeeper for the Tennessee Coal, Iron 6, Railway company at Oxmoore, walked into the sheriff's office and gave himself up for the killing of Bill Griffin, alias Bill Sprague, a negro, at the above place last Wednesday.
 Griffin seemed to have been one of those officious kind of negroes with a revenge ful mind. He called at the company's of flee several times Wednesday morning and asked for a check on the commissary. He was told that ne was garnisheed and that until the amount had been settled he could get no checks This seemed to an- ger him and he went away.
 A short time afterwards he returned and struck at MT. Hickman with heavy pick handle and then assaulted him with a knife As the negro approached him with the latter weapon MT. Hickman through the heart Instead of falling the ten steps and dropped dead. q
 A warrant was sworn out against Hick- man and he was placed in the custody of a deputy sheriff. The warrant is out of Justice Martins court and there MT. Hickman will be given preliminary hearing today.
 Griffin had the reputation of being "bully" around the Oxmoore furnaces. and he seemed to think that no one had any right to refuse his demands or cross him in any of his purposes Hickman is well thought of and has the sympathy of every one in his unfortunate situation

DISGRACE OVERTAKES THEM
An Advertisement Locates An Indiana Couple In Birmingham. and the Po-
 lice, as Usual, Do Their Duty.

For some time past a foreign paper has contained an advertisement for in- formation and the arrest of a young couple who ran away from Indianapolis last July. This advertisement was shown to Chief Mcdonald yesterday morning, and at noon, with Officer Bodeker, he arrested Henry c. Hall, young white man about 20 years old, and a girl calling herself Pearl Hall, in a house of ill- fame. Hall is now confined in the city prison, and will be tried this morning be- fore Judge Feagin for violating section 56S of the city code. The girl was taken cut to the Mercy Home and placed in care of the matron. She claims to be only two months younger than her companion, but it Is thought that she is underage. She will be held until her parents, who did the advertising, can be communicated with.
 It is said that the girls father is an engineer on the Illinois Central railroad and runs an engine out of Indianapolis. He is said to have given his daughter all advantages possible and had her at school at the time of her downfall in last July. Her family and that of Hall are said to be very friendly but the former are supposed to be in ignorance of their daughters disgrace. She is fine look ing girl and plays the piano and sings very we'll indeed.
 It is said that the couple came to BIT mingham about six weeks ago and have since resided in houses of i'll repute. Hall, it is understood, has not been at work since his arrival here. He was at tending school at the time they decided to run away, and has neither trade nor profession.
 Hall has told people in this city that he came from Chicago by way of Nash willie, where they resided several weeks The girl is said to have stated that she went from home to Nashville and then ca ma bara

They Get Up Too Soon.

HoLyoKE, Mass, Dec. 12-The faculty
OF Mount Holyoke College is trying to
devise plan by which it can keep the
girl students in bed until u reasonable
hour in the morning. As a rule girl
students are wont to rise late rather than
early; but in the case Of the Mount Hol-
yoke girls the conditions seem to be
quite the reverse. The students are up
and about sometimes as early as 4 a. m,
and seldom later than $50. The mania
for early rising is not confined to one or
two, but it is quite general through the
college, and this is what troubles the
faculty.
The question how to put a stop to the
practice is yet to be answered. Appar-
emily there is no other way than for the
teachers in each dormitory to rise with
the chickens and patrol the halls until
s1ch an hour as it is proper for young
women in search Of an education to rise.
The idea OF this solemn morning patrol
is 50 pleasing to the girls as almost to
compensate for the possible loss of study
hours. From their point OF view, if
they can't sit up long enough to study
their lessons at night, they ought to be
allowed to set up when they please in
the morning, or the amount OF study
required should be lessened.
