Houston. Texas, April IA noted New

months and who is supposed to have made

mans House Catches Fire.

Claude Chandler went out to the
Island Ford, on Grand river Sat-
urday to notify Peden Toloert OF
the arrival of Sheriff King, OF
Clarksville, Arkansas. Arriving
at the river he sighted the ferry
boat high and dry on the opposite
bank, left there by the recedlng
high water. After considerable
gesticulatng and loud talking his
wants were made known and some
dozen men undertook TO launch
the boat to bring him over, but
unfortunately, the bank was quite
steep and the boat went into the
water end on and filling up sank.
While the men were still strug-
Cling with the sunken craft, a
small column of smoke was seen
coming from the Bumgarner house,
short distance from the river,
and the workers quit their first
task to aid in putting out the fire.
After a half hour they returned to
the river bank and, began anew
their labor. The watcher on this
side knew there had been ship
wreck and fire, but on account
ofthe distance and strong wind
could not learn what the damages
amounted to. A little later on Mr..
Tolbert happened up the river and
Joined Chandler and the two came

still under water, and without any
definite knowledge of the extent
of the loss at the Bumgarner
home, but from appearance it
seems the fire was of small inn

College Slang

In every university" said a collegian
quoted by the Philadelphia Record, there
is a slang word, bone that means to
study. DO you know how this word origi-
mated? II came from 'BOhn'-frOm the
BONN books that are so familiar to stu
dents-and in the beginning it was spelled
'Bohn,' and its significance was easily I'M
derstood, but now that it is spelled bone
the significance is lost. The derivation of
other pieces of college slang is not so easily
traced back. Thus, there is the word pole,
'poler,' "A greasy poler,' which at Lehigh
means a hard student. 1t would be hard
to say whence that word comes. There is
rush to rush a freshman a Cornell
phrase, which means TO seek to induce a
freshman to join NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. hard
word. To bust at Cornell means to fail,
or funk; COW juice means milk; a pony
means a device for cheating at eXamina-
lions; a log wagon means a lunch wagon.
Those words have their derivation patent
on their face; but where, | wonder, can to
gray have come from? To gray at the
University of Virginia, means to get drunk"

send the goods, on approval, through the

1t is reported here now that q further
examination of the clothing of Joe Cole,

a second pistol through his clothing. This
is supposed to be the shot that wounded
Jim Mitchell.

anyone had been killed, and that he had
done nothing"
Information received here is that Mr.
A. p. Crumpton, of Louisburg, who was
bringing the negroes from Lyrchburg to
Louisburg to work in tobacco had reached
Louisburg with thirteen men. having
started with sixteen. With the three
men in Jail here all are accounted for,
and it is probable that if two men got
OFF the train they got back on. A war
rant for the arrest of Will Mitchell ami
Jim Payne has been sent to Louisburg
and they will be brought here tonight.
The Seaboard Air Line authorities Of
fered a reward for the capture of the ne
groes who escaped, and telephaph and
phone messages were sent out 20 arrest
any negroes who boarded a train.
1t was one o'clock last night before
the crowd of fifty or more men with the
bloodhounds gave up an unsuccessful
search for the negroes reported to have
jumped from the train.
From all these circumstances one fact
is certain, Joe Cole, ST., is the murder
er of Roadmaster Stievers, and if he had
two pistols, also shot the negro porter.
One theory advanced is that he threw
away one pistol as he ran out on the
platform. If Cole had but one pistol it
will depend upon the testimony of Cap
tain Clements and Joe Mitchell as 10
which negro fired the second shot.

Mr.. John Pugh, of this city, was on
the train when the riot broke loose above
Henderson, and played an important part
in capturing one of the young negroes.
He says the boy had almost gotten away
from him, and was crawling off the lower
step of the platform, having got all clear
except his legs. The only hold Mr.. Pugh
had was on the bottom of his pants leg.
He held on, however, until another pas
senger came to his assistance, and to-
gether they pulled the negro up and Sc
cured him.

CONSERVATORY'S 35TH
SEASON

The Peabody Conservatory of Music of
Baltimore, Md, will shortly begin it's
thirty fifth year with promise of in
creased usefulness in its various we'll
equipped departments of study. The
faculty of professors is exceptionally
strong, among the eminent musicians on
the staff being Director Randolph, Otis
B. Boise, w. e. Heimendahl, Joan c. Van
Hulsteyn, Ernest Hutcheson, Pietro
Minetti, Emanuel Wad and numerous
others, thirty-seven in all An interest
ing phase of the Conservatory broad
work is seen in the selection of teach
ers of the Preparatory Department, all
of whom are holders of the Peabody
Teachers Certificate, the Conservatory
thus maintaining it's solid methods in the
earlier grades as we'll as stimulating the
advanced pupils by appointing graduates
to these important positions on the
teaching staff. Other graduates are fill
ing prominent positions in schools and
colleges elsewhere, thus spreading
throughout the country the indirect infu-
cnce of Peabody's benefaction.
The Peabody Recitals having been for
many years one OF the most important
educational factors in the art life of Bal
timore, a series outside of Baltimore
was instituted in order to still further
extend their usefulness and give to the
people of Maryland and the neighboring
States the opportunity Of benefiting by
this important phase of the Conservatory
work 1t was believed that the design
of the founder of the Peabody Institute
ito diffuse and cultivate a taste for
music, the most refining of all the arts
would thus be greatly furthered
In pursuance of this plan recitals have
been given for the past two seasons I'M
der the auspices of leading universities,
schools and other educational organi-
cations. These performances were re-
ceived with such remarkable enthusiasm
and appreciation and proved such stim-
illus to musical activity in the places
visited that it has been decided to eX-
tend the scope of the enterprise by es-
taolishing a sort of musical headquar-
tiers at the Conservatory for arranging
concerts, historical lecture recitals, or
gan recitals, etc. by prominent artists
connected with the Peabody staff. Ar
engagements may be made for single reel
tails or for entire series of performances.
