THARPE NOW A FREE MAN.
The Charge OF Assault With Intent
10 XII NoIIe Prossed.

The charge OF assault with intent TO kill
against Dock y. Tharpe, who was last
Wednesday acquitted of the murder of
Aaron d. Bishop. was yesterday nolle
pressed, and the prisoner was discharged
from custody. Tharpe was arrested the
night Of May 81 al the Baltimore and
Potomac depot for the murder OF Bishop
and also on the charge Of making q assault

ton he was tried for the murder Of Bishop
IL Criminal Court No. ], Justice CIabaugh
presiding, on Monday, and the jury which
heard the testimony returned d verdict Of
acquittal He was not liberated. but held
for trial on the charge OF assault TO Kill
Both offences were committed at the
same time and place, and the testimony
given at the trial OF Tharpe for murder,
showed that they were so closely con
nected as 10 be practically one and the
same act
When the matter was called 10 the at
teuuon Of the court yesterday. Prosecuting
Attorney Thomas C. Taylor stated that the
prisoner had been tried and found not
guilty q the charge Of murder made
against him. He also said that the testi-
mony against Tharpe. If he should be tried
for assault with intent TO kill, would be
practically the same as that given In the
=
ed upon that evidence, in connection with
the grayer offence with which the prison.
er was charged. and found ii not sufi-
cient 10 convict the District Attorney rec
commended that the charge OF assault TO
kin pending against Tharpe be nolle
pressed.
Justice Clabaugh. who presided al the
trial Of Tharpe. stated that in his opinion
il was proper that this course should be
pursued.
The essential element Of the trial for
murder he said, was the intention with
which tie defendant had fired his pistol
al Acton, the policeman. AS this was
proved 10 be without q malicious intent
there could be no murder as 10 the killing
o. Bishop. The jury, the court said. failed
TO find any malice in the act OF Tharpe
and found him not guilty. Under the cir
cumstances, then, Justice Clabaugh said
there is 10 likelihood Of any other Jury
finding a different judgment based upon
the same testimony.
Major Fred BeaIl Tharpe's attorney.
stated 10 the court that the lesson taught
his client would be lasting. and he felt no
fear IN promising that the prisoner would
never again carry q deadly weapon or enter
d saloon.
AS soon as Justice Clabaueh made the
order for the release OF Tharpe he shook
hands with Assistant District Attorneys
TAYLOR and Semmes, who conducted the
prosecution. and then, bidding goodbye to
Justice Clabaugh, left the court room.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Three Men Believed to Have Been Gre
 mated in Hotel

Waco, Tex, January 2Z-Ross Leary, agen 26, and Andrew Griswold, aged 5O farmers from the upper edge of Hill county, were burned to death in the Commercial hotel at Hillsboro, thirty miles north of Waco, this morning, and John Mcclure, another guest of the Commercial is miss- ing and his body is supposed to be in the ruins.
 The men went to the house about 10 o'clock last night and at 3 o'clock this morning the building was discovered in flames it is supposed of incendiary origin. A fierce north wind was blowing and the firemen were helpless to check the fire, which spread from the Commercial across 2 space of forty feet to the Windsor hotel. Both hotels, which were frame structures, were quickly consumed. In the excitement caused by the fire the sleeping guests were forgotten and not until both hotels were in ruins was anything thought about them.
 When a search was made the charred trunk of Griswods body and few bones and yiscera, supposed to be those of Leary, were all that remained. No signs of Mo Clures body could be found and it may be that he escaped. The loss on buildings and contents was total and is estimated at $20000, but a small portion of which is covered by insurance.

GIRLS INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
Deserving of the Appropriation Which
 It Seeks.

Montevallo January 27.-President Rey holds, of the Girls Industrial school, Is spending the week in Montgomery, looking after the interests of the institution in the legislature. If. ever a school deserved ap- propriations, this one does. So far, over 400 girls have taken advantage of its won- derful training for this session. Fifty-eight counties in the state are represented. New pupils continue to come in order to get their names on the preferred list for next ses- sion.
 During the past summer the president had applications for places in the school from Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee. Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Already applications from pupils are coming in for the next session. More class rooms, more accommodations are needed For this the president is striving.
 The millinery department of the school will be opened next month. Nothing is done is this department in the fall on ac- count of the lack of demand for such goods during the winter season. It is. of course,
