STUDENTS HAD A NIGHT OF TER
ROR.

Augusta Tribune: A very uncom-
Portable. restless and sleepless night
was passed by those students of the
Paine Institute who could not find
lodging accommodation elsewhere and
were obliged to spend the night on the
premises. 1t seems that a rumor had
reached the credulous ears of the 200
or so students of the institute that
Mrs. Ward the famous clairvoyant.
has predicted the blowing up, the COM
plete destruction by unseen forces, OF
the Paine Institute on the night of the
18th of November Ammo Domini. 1901
Last night was to be the fateful one,
the students were expecting the de-
struction of their loved school with
great awe and trepidation of the heart.
When night arrived they congregated
into the large dining room and spent
the time in singing hymns and pray
ing and making the night hideous TO
the. inhabitants in the neighborhood
until grey dawn. 1t was great re-
lief to the students when morning
came and the school was still in its
place, and a shout of Thanksgiving
was sent up and general handshak-
ing was INDUCED in.

be we'll pleased with the police situation when
he was seen yesterday afternoon in his home. at

deputy such as Devery certainly is Devery has
been on the police force twenty-four years. and
he will carry out Murphys instructions better

Mr.. Sexton said he did not know whether or
not Mr. Croker would approve the selection of
Devery As TO Lewis Nixon's attitude he said:
Nixon is an able and conscientious man. hut
he is still young. and has great deal to learn
about politics I think. possibly. he is inclined
TO talk too much. He is a good Tammany man,
but l think he will resign either from Tammany
Hall or from the Tammany committee on vice"
