OBITUARY.

On Saturday afternoon. just as the

terry, loving hands laid to rest the form of
Sydnor, the lovely eight months old son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. B. S. Jerman. Funeral
services, simple and beautiful, had been
conducted at the residence by Rev. G. F.
Smith in the presence of close friends and
neighbors. Tenderly the casket was
borne by the younger associates of Mr.
Jerman in the bank-Mr. Edward Crow,
Mr.. Miller Hughes, Mr.. Albert Bauman
and Mr.. Burke Little-and tenderly they
placed the body in ''its narrow celP' by
the side of the two little children of Mr..
and Mrs. Jerman who had gone before to
the Better Land. There was the stiffness
and quiet of the summer evening as pro-
fusion of flowers hid the earthen grave
from view, there was a sorrow and sym
pathy too deep for words, there was
saeredness such as comes only at Goods
acre" Prayers-silent and sincere-went

greatly bereaved parents who have often
been called ito pass under the rod" d.

At St. Augustins's school.

A large congregation was assembled IN
the chapel OF the school on Sunday after
noon. The baccalaureate sermon was de-
ivered by the Rev p. Robert Bennett,
a colored clergyman who is rector OF st.
Marks church, Wilmington. His text
was taken from St. Luke VII, IS, but
wisdom is justified of all her children, =
and the sermon was a plea for absolute
business in the thorough training OF the
negro. At the close of his sermon he made
an address to the graduates Of the school,
who were seated in front of him. and EN-
phasized the three relationships in which
they stood as children of wisdom: toward
God their neighbors and themselves. The
Rt. Rev Thomas E. Gailor, d. D., Bishop
of Tennessee, was in the chancel and made
a very happy address to the students and
spoke of his great pleasure at seeing the
work of the school.
The offerings of the congregation were
for the useful work that is being done by
st. Agnes -.ospital and the training
school for nurses. Three graduates have
already been sent out this year, and three
more are to receive their diplomas at the
commencement on Wednesday
Last night musical and gymnastie en-
tertainment was given in Taylor Hall, the
new assembly hall of the school, and a
long program of thoroughly good music
was rendered, which reflected great credit
upon the teacher in charge of this depart
ment, Mrs E. A johnson. Between the
parts gymnastic drills were given by the
girls of the school
The commencement of the school will be
held on Wednesday morning at II o'clock.
The AlIeluia Gnorus of Handel will be
sung, Gounod's "Send Out Thy Light and
Thy Truth and the Magnificat and Nune
Dimittis Of Tours viii be rendered, along
with addresses by the graduates. Friends
of the school are always welcome.

large lots of stocks therei was a great
deaI of confusion during the first quar-
ter Of an hour. 1t represented largely .ne
liquidation Of orders from the country, of
which hundreds had poured in over sun
day. The sharpest declines were in the
issues which were the objects of attack
on Saturday, 5000 shares of Rock Island

ultaneously at 1898 and 81 ga, as com
pared with 81 5-S Saturday and st. Paul

the weak feature, declining to 81, new

Following the close of the stock mar
ket it was rumored in Wall Street that
conference of the leading financial in
terests would be held up town in the
evening to reReiw the situation, and if
necessary adopt measures.
A canvass of the clubs and hotels failed
to bear out these reports and inquiries
in authoritative quarters all showed that
the liquidation which was so conspicuous
in today's market would be allowed to
run its course.

GUILTY THE VERDICT
Jett and White Declared to
be the Assassins of
Marcum.
(By the Associated Press.)

Jackson, KY. May 25-After an all
days session of the special grand jury To
and from which the principal witness was
escorted under protection of a guard OF
soldiers. Curtis Jett and Tom White were
tonight indicted for the assassination OF
James B. Marcum. The action taken by
the grand jury was prompt and decisive,
and tonight there is growing impression
That justice will at last be administered
In the Hargis-Cockrill feud, of which At
torney Marcum was the latest victim.
Aside from the protection accorded Cap
tain j. b. Ewin, the proceedings were
unmarked by any unusual incident The
work of selecting a grand jury was brief
only eight witnesses were examined
Captain Ewin, the principal witness. mas
been prisoner in his home since it be-
came known that he would testify. At
the time Marcum was killed he was stand
ing beside him in the court house door
with his hand on the attorneys shoulders
A crowd of soldiers escorted him from MS
home to the court house and back again
after he had been for two hours in the
grand jury room giving testimony.
The indictments were returned this
evening AFTER tne jury mad spent two
hours in weighing the evidence.
Curtis Jett is already under arrest at
winchester, having been arrested several
days ago on a warrant charging him with
the murder of Marcum Tom White, who
was indicted with Jett, lives in the noun
tains some distance from Jackson. 1t is
said that witnesses testified that be was
the man who passed near Marcum and
Ewln moment before the shooting.
Tonight a deputy sheriff with a squad
OF soldiers started for Whites home in the
mountains to arrest him. The party car
Fied provisions for two days Another
squad OF soldiers with a deputy sheriff
viii bring Curtis Jet from Winchester to
Jackson tomorrow
1t was stated tonight by attorneys that
Jett and White may be tried this week
and that the militia may remain on
guard until the case is finished.
The trials will in all probability be held
In Jackson, but before a jury composed
of citizens of some other county in this
judicial circuit
There is nothing as yet to indicate that
Judge Redwine viii be sworn of the bench
and trial judge appointed.
The town is quiet tonight.
