HE WILL RETIRE.
President Lille Refused to Make Contract With Board and Will Retire from Gen. tral College at Close
 of Session.

At meeting of the Board of Trustees of Central College held in this city few days ago President Lille was unanimously reelected for another six years term as presi- dent of the institution. Another meeting of the board was called for Wednesday it Little Rock. At this meeting Prof. Lille was offered the same contract he has had, with some additional advantages, but he refused to make contract on the terms offered. He wanted guar anteed salary and desired the board to purchase the furniture he had in the college. The board did not desire to make this contract and President Lille will retire at the close of the term in June.
 It is universally regretted that Prof. Lille has decided to retire. The college has prospered under his management and those inter- ested in the welfare of the school did not desire any change. The board was unanimous i'll his favor and urged him to continue for an other;six years, but he seems to have made up his mind to make a change.
 The members of the Board say that applications for the place oi president will pour in as soon as the fact of MT. Lilies retirement becomes known. They believe that the school will continue tc progress.

THE S.. ROMA FLOATED.
In Galveston Channel Again After a
Year ia the Mud.
THE INJUNCTION WAS DISUEGARDED
City Attorney Will Take the Matter Up
and Call the Attention OF the
Court to L.
THE INJUNCTION WAS DISREGARDED

Galveston, Texas, September THE
steamship Roma, which has been aground
at the railroad bridge since the storm OF
last September. was floated this morning
and taken safely through the draw OF the
railroad bridge and over the water main
leading to the city Of Galveston. As pre-
viOusy stated, there has been an injunc-
tlon Issued prohibiting the moving OF the
ship over the water main leading to the
city, but notwithstanding that this restrain-
ing order was still in effect, the ship was
brought over the main and is now IN fair
way to be at the wharf in short time.
The Roma is the last OF the ships that
were stranded here during the storm TO
be hoated and from her position near the
railroad bridge has attracted more atten-
ton than any OF them. The delay in
floating her was caused by the fact that
there was no draw for some time In the
railroad bridge through which she could
be brought, even though she were ioated.
Since the draw has been placed In the
bridge there has still been considerable
delay in making satisfactory contract for
the floating Of the ship. Finally the firm
of Charles Clarke & Co., which rescued all
the other large steamers which were
stranded here during the storm, took the
contract for floating the vessel into deep
water
The readers Of The Post are familiar
with, the demands made by the water com
missloners of the firm of Charles Clarke
Go. for bond OF 10000 aud for a
certified check for $4,000 before the ship
should be allowed to cross over the water
main leading to Alto Iona and with the
difficulty and delay that has been expe-
rlenCed since that time. The failure OF
Clarke & CO. to comply with the demands
OF fhe water commissioners led to the is
suauce OF an injunction preventing the
moving Of the ship over the main until
the requirements set forth In the agree
ment by which the water commissioners
would allow the ship TO cross over the
Win. This was issued by Judge Charles
=. Ashc of the Eleventh judicial district
In Houston and was afterwards renewed
bY X. NJ. Franklin of the Fiftv-siXt tudi-
clal district. The restraining order was
ln eject this morning. but the ship was
brought over ani dld not harm the pipe
'Ihere was three foot tide this morning

OF damaging the water main also The
