Hollins Institute, Virginia

Hollins Institute, six miles from the city
of Roanoke, is one of the educational insti-
tutions that have made Virginia famous in
the field of learning. 1t was founded in
1872, and has steadily grown in capacity,
scope and reputation. Today it ranks with
those schools for young women which COM
mand the entire confidence of arents. Since
1870 the school has grown too large to be
limited to Virginia patronage, so that all
parts of the union are now represented by
pupils. Besides the thorough educational
work accomplished by means of ten courses
from which the student chooses, the insti-
tute has unusual natural and acquired ad-
Vantages. 1t is In the Valley of Virginia
region possessing climate unexcelled for
healthfulness, and mineral springs of
famous health-giving powers are on the
grounds There are 300 acres of land sur
rounding the buildings which are utilized
for outdoor sports. The fifty-seventh ses-
sion will begin September 10, 1899.

1t is rumored that many farmers, white
and colored, living in the Brazos bottoms,
reliable particulars are yet obtainable. The
big and little Brazos rivers have joined at
Navasota, where they are ordinarily three
miles apart, and the whole country be-
tween is a ruin. There is no accurate news
regarding loss of human life, but it is re-
liably stated that one family of six people
persisted. The loss in cotton and corn alone
will reach a million dollars, while another
million will not cover the loss to railroads
and other property.

CAPTURED AT PARIS, TEXAS

Huntsville, June So-(speclaL)-After sue
cessfully eluding the officers for seventeen
years, Charles Adams, a negro who is want
ed in Huntsville for the murder of Police
man William Street, has been captured at
Paris, Tex. and in despair has demanded a
trial by habeas corpus to avoid return to
the scene of his crime
Adams had an accomplice in the crime
who was taken from the Madison county
Jail three days after his arrest and hung on
tree In the court house yard
ADAMS arrest recalls an exciting time in
huntsville. 1t was in the autumn of 1882,
when great agricultural fair was in
progress. Adams and a negro whose name
Is forgotten were charged with a small Of
tense against the city, and they were ar
rested by Officer William Street, who
was one of the most popular men in the
city Adams and his companion submitted
quietly, and the officer was thrown off his
guard.
Turning his back to Adams for moment,
the negro split the officers head to the chin
with an axe. The negroes fed, and nearly
every man in the town Joined in the hunt
Tor them. Adams accomplice was cap
tured by the sheriff and lodged in Jail, and
on the third day of his Imprisonment mob
of one thousand men broke into the Jail,
secured the prisoner and hung him in the
court house yard.
Nothing was heard of Adams until recent
ly. Shortly after leaving this state he mar
ried, and during the honeymoon he con-
fided in his wife and told her he had killed
man in Huntsville After many years the
couple quarreled, and the woman revenged
herself by notifying the Texas authorities
of her husbands crime.
