More About That CoIIeee Scrape.

It seems that the interest in the Clare
mont College affair, reported by the
Jonesville correspondent to The State,
has not yet subsidized. The college presi-
dent was pretty severely censured for re-
fusing to let the young ladies return, and
holding their trunks until forced to de-
liver them by law. The teachers Of the
college come out in reply in The York
vile Enquirer. We hardly think the
gentlemen, at Jonesville, who went after
the trunks, would willfully misrepresent
the facts. The teachers say:
A MALICIOUS FALsEHooD.
"We, the undersigned, teachers of
Claremont College, know the following
statements from the Jonesville, S. c.,
correspondent of The State, Of Sept.
Oath, to be entirely false:
lst. After the young ladies arrived
and spent one night at the college and
looked around, they were dissatisfied
and would not be matriculated and re-
fused to enter.' These young ladies
were dissatisfied before they came. One
was heard to propose to the rest that they
return. This was before they were with
in DO miles Of Hickory. Miss Littlejohn
frankly said she did not come to study
and only came to have good time. She
also said she would return any time she
wished. We understand that one of
these girls attended Converse College,
became dissatisfied with this institution
and returned in one week. The other
young lady attended Columbia, s. c.,
female college and was not satisfied with
the college. These we understand are
considered good colleges.
End. The president demurred and re-
fused to let them go'' Mr. Hatton did
not refuse at any time to let them leaHs.
But said he would not give them his con-
sent for them to 60 until he heard from
their parents in reply to his letters. In
this, he consulted with the faculty and
acted upon their approval. Most parents,
we think, would approve of this course.
3rd. 'One Of them-Miss Littlejohn-
managed to get away and returned,
The facts are she caused considerable
merriment among the students by her
ridiculous behaviour.
Miss Hames even disapproved of her
leaving without Mr.. HattOn's consent,
and promptly informed him whose only
action In the matter was to send a serv-
ant to request her return, until she
could hear further from home.
Mr.. Hatton acted in this matter to.
ward these girls as most parents would
have expected him to do.
We wish to further state that the
main statements Of said letters are false
and misleading. Mr.. Hatton acted with
considerable forbearance in this matter
and in way that thoughtful parents ex.
pect Of one in his position.

Misfortune Not Single.

Last week the HERALD noted the fact of
the dealh of Mrs. H. H. Hart. sister Of Ms
James A. Norris. On Friday they left for
Milwaukee to attend the funeral. At Avon
Mr.. Norris stepped from the train to send
word by wire to Jack Mccullough, acting
station agent here during his absence, and
as his foot struck the platform his leg, which
had been weak for a long time, failed to
support him, and he fell heavily, striking
his face against the car, blackening his eye.
and he fell between the platform and the
train, which was fortunately standing still.
As it was, his other leg was so badly
strained that he has not been able to put it
to the ground since, and the weak one was
bruised also. He can only get about with
a crutch. ..... .-..s-
Arriving at Milwaukee he was met by a
relative who informed him tn a cousin
of his wife, J. P. Tichenor, whose guests
Mr.. and Mrs, Norris were to be, had died
suddenly the evening before. Mr.. Tichenor
has been visitor in this city on several oc-
casions. 1t will be remembered that year
ago Mrs. Norris attended double funeral
her father and sister-in Milwaukee.

AS Lewis Bedore was returning home
from Melrose just before midnight,
driving team belonging to James
Connolly, he drove into an excavation
made for the waterworks in front
of Anton Larson's residence on
Birch-st. The team went down into
the pit, which was about five feet deep
and young Bedore pitched headlong
over the dashboard, landing between
the frightened animals. Fortunately
he was not badly hurt. The horses
were COTTON out after an hour of hard
work, and save trifing scratch, were
not hurt. The excavation was not
protected, nor was it lighted. The city
should see to it that more care be ex.
ercised in the future.

Just before the soldiers left the old
stockade, two of them stole the re-
volvers of Gen. Sibley and another
officer. Fearing detection they bur-
ried the revolvsrs, wrapping them in
an army blanket and turning kettle
over them. The two soldiers were
immediately called away from the
stockade, and Mr.. Pendergast says
that he has no doubt the revolyers are
still buried somewhere within what
was the limits of the enclosure. One
of these days some one will unearth
them, and they will be greater
curiosity than the big keys found by
young Jesse Smith.
