Colum bia Record, 3Olh ult.
Work will commence at once
upon the proposed improvements
to the Methodist female college
building ut cost of about $50,
900 and by the opening of the
next session there will be accom-
modations for $50 students. The
executive committee of the board
of directors of the college consls-
ting of DR.. w. j. Murry, Messrs
Il. II. Jennings and Edward
Ehrlich met today, Rev. E. O.
Watson, n member Of the board,
also being present The plans
submitted by the various archi-
tects we're gone over and it was
finally decided to accept that Of
fered by Mr.. {. &. Wilson as
being the most convenient and
coming nearer to the ideas of the
committee. The original build
ing on Plain street will have Otwo
wings added, each of which will
he capped by small towers. The
wing facing on Pickcns street will
be known as science hall and the
entrance will be supported by tall
pillars made of cement material.
The other wing will contain a
large chapel capable of seating
thousand people and over the
science hall and to the chapel
number of rooms will be added,
making the total capacity about
25O, and there seems little doubt
but that there will be this num-
Der in attendance.
The board has elected DR.. j.
a. Duncan, of Virginia, financial
agent and he will at once com
mence the canvass of the state in
the interests of the college.

way and l did it the best could. I"
Mrs. Coombes corroborated
Mrs. Mary johnson in saying that

officers Battle With COnViCtS
Members of Sheriff's Posse Killed,
and Soldier Fatally Wound
ed-Details Hard to Get.

PIacervllle, Cal, Aug l :
Reports of an encounter between
the law officers and tbs 13 cln.
victs who escaped from Folsom
prison are being received toni 5ht,
but owing to the remoteness of the
scene of the battle, and the fact
that night fell almost immediately
following the receipt of the first
news, details are coming in slowly.
1t i. known, however, that the
sheriff 5 posse, assisted by force
of the Placerville militia, came
upon the fugitives near the Grand
Victory nine about dusk, and
shots were exchanged.
Dallas Bosquit, the son of Sher-
iff Bosquit, is said to be among
the slain, and u message by tel
ephone says his body was found
along the roadside. Militiaman
Dill was shot through the body,
and Is not expected to recover.
The greatest anxiety prevails here
concerning the safety of the sold
iers. 1t is known that SIX of them
went into the bush after the cap
ture, and the only trace of them
was the wounded men Dill, who
was unable t. give any clue CON
corning his companions. The cons
victs are believed to have taken
refuge in the Grand Victory
mine, and there is talk of setting
fire to 1t and driving out the crim>
iuals. Additional forces are being
hurried to the mine. Another ac-
count of the battle reached Brai n
ard +. Smith, chief clerk of the
Folsom prison. He was notified
that three of the attacking party
were killed, and that it was pre-
sumed two of the convicts were
badly wounded:
The killed are presumed to be
Brosquit, Dill and one of the
! sherilf's posse. The scene of shoot.
ing was near .Cool,a small place a
few miles outside of Placerville.
