TerrOriZed the Town.

Tom Dennie, young white man
who was twice arrested at Ripley for
fighting and fined in each case, came
to town again last week and imme-
diately went on the warpath. He
beat up a negro, it is alleged, with
brass knucks. He was arrested by
Marshal Wood on a charge of as
sault and battery, carrying a pistol
and brass knucks, and carried to the
mayors Office and placed in keeping
of Constable Campbell, while Mar
shall Wood went out to summon the
witnesses in the case, when he made
break for liberty. Campbell shot
at the prisoner three times in the
hope of frightening him to a halt,
but he made safe his escape. 1t is
claimed that his brother, Alex Den
ME, helped him to elude the officers
and outwit the bloodhounds, which
were placed on his trail. He is still
at large.

A Madison Shooting.

The little town of Toone, Tenn,
twenty miles south of Jackson, is
deeply stirred over a deplorable
shooting which took place there last
week. Miss Lizzie Hillhouse, a well
known young lady, shot J. E. Marsh
six times, fatally wounding him.
Marsh was a prominent man of the
community and had paid attention
to Miss Hillhouse until recently,
and it was reported that he was to be
married in a few days to another
young lady. Miss Hillhouse called
Marsh to the gate and asked him
what he intended to do in regard to
his marriage with her. His reply
was, 'I do not know; | will not mar
ry you," whereupon she shot him,
one shot taking effect in the left
shoulder before he turned, the other
four lodging in the back. He was
able to walk to a bed and fell across
it. A crowd soon gathered and the
girl was put under arrest. Her re-
mark was, ''I am satisfied if he dies :;
it will be all right if he lives. l will
kill him."

miral Coghlan, with division of the
North Atlantic squadron, will remain
in West Indian waters.

THE HUMBERTS IN PARIS.
The Notorious Gang of Swind1ers
Arrive at the French Capital
in Early Morning.
TAKEN TO THE CONCIERGERIE PRISON,
The ArrnnGements for Their Recep-
tion and Transfer From the
Madrid Train So We'll Made that
No Turbulence or Demonstration
of Any Kind Occurred.

Paris, Dec. 29.-The members of the
Humbert family, who were recently
arrested in Madrid, in connection with
the great safe frauds in this city, ar
| rived at Orleans railroad station here
at 7:40 o'clock Monday morning
There was no demonstration. The
prisoners were conducted to the Con-
ciergerie prison.
The arrival of the fugitives was de-
void of sensational incidents, as the
French police had chosen an hour for
their return here when Paris was
only half awake. The crowd at the
railroad station was comparatively
small, but large force of police and
soldiers, mounted and on foot, was
drawn up in front of the station and
guarded all street approaches to pre-.
vent the possibility of a popular DEM
onstration. number of the chief
functionaries of the prefecture were
on hand to personally superintend the
prisoners arrival.
Through Double Police Lines.
The men and women of the Hum
bert party were kept separate on the
trip from Madrid to Paris, and they
were brought from the train in two
separate parties. The women came
first, leaning on the arms of officers.
Nine. Humbert was dressed in black
and was veiled, but was recognized by
her stout figure. Her young daugh-
ter Eva was the most pathetic look
ing of the women. Nine. Humbert
was followed by her sister Marie, who
did not show the bravado she eXhib-
tied at Madrid, but was pale and APP
peared disconsolate. Frederick Hum
bert, Nine. Humbert's husband,
looked completely broken down. Ro-
main D'Aurignac and his wife, Emile,
maintained the calm, defiant attitude
they had shown throughout. NJ.
D'Aurignac still wore Spanish beard
which had served him as a disguise.
Men and Women Kept Separate.
The prisoners passed through dou-
BILE lines of police to the carriages in
waiting. Detachments of mounted
police surrounded the vehicles, which
were driven at rafting pace
through the gathering crowds to the
Conciergerie, where minute prepara-
tions had been made to receive the
berts to Paris is the absorbing topic
for discussion throughout the city,
indeed through France, for no event
since the return of Dreyfus has
aroused such intense interest. All
classes of society are equally inter
ested. as the Humberts' operations
were so colossal and so interviewer
with some of the foremost personages
in France that their return was
viewed with apprehension. Crowds
from all parts of the city were ready
TO assemble at the station and give
the prisoners a disorderly reception,
but the secrecy of the police baftied
the plans of the mobs and permitted
the Humberts to be landed silently
and swiftly inside the grey walls OF
the prison.

day, Though Details are
Not All Settled.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 29.-Ar-
rangements for the funeral of the late
Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont, whose
death occurred Saturday night, have
not yet been completed on account of
a curious fact. 1t is known to MEM

instructions are in a safe deposit box

tanned until the bank opened Monday.

will occur Tuesday, and the other ar
rangements will now be made. Mrs.
Fremont's grandson, John c. Ere

aboard the cruiser New York, at pres
ent off Santa Barbara, was not noti-
fed of her death until Sunday, be-
cause of the absence of the ship from
port.

will destroy the typhoid fever germs
in water is authoritatively announced
by the Chicago health department af-

I ennessee State News
Annual Report on Education.

The annual report of Morgan G.
Fitzpatrick, State superintendent of
schools, has been completed for sub
mission to the governor and the leg
islature. Superintendent Fitzpat-
rick makes a number of recommen-
dations looking to the improvement
of the public school system, and adj
vocates the increase of the school
tax. His recommendations embrace
the following:
1. The school district and the civil
district should, by act of the legis-
lature, be made co-extensive in every
county, and all acts creating special
school districts be repealed.
2. School directors should be
elected in each county at the same
time, in May or August.
3. Scholastic enumeration of chill
dren should be taken in May instead
of July, because of the absence of
families and children during the
summer vacation.
4. The school age limit should be
placed at Is years instead of 21, be-
cause the present limit makes school
statutes misleading, most children
leaving school before they are 18.
5. The State superintendent
should prepare and have printed, for
the use Of the schools of the State, a
course of study and grading, so as to
preserve uniformity throughout the
State.
6. The county superintendents
should be given authority to super
wise and pass upon the expenditures
of district directors on order to pre-
vent extravagances in the purchase
of school supplies.
z. The salary of the county super
intendents should be commensurate
with the duties they are called upon
to perform. In some counties they
receive only 500 per year.
s. The State superintendent
should be empowered by law to force
county superintendent to send in
reports at required periods.
9. Better methods for the examina-
ton of the persons seeking to teach
school should be provided, either by
the State board of education or
special board to be created being Civ
en- the power to supervise the work
and prepare the questions.
10. The annual appropriation of
$4,000 in aid of State and county in
stitute work should be continued.
II. The appropriation of $4,000
per annum to the Peabody Normal
College should be continued.
12. Salaries of teachers should be
increased and school terms length
ened
The total scholastic population re-
ported for the year was III, ,965; to-
tai enrolment, 484,663; average
daily attendance, 341, ,537, a marked
increase over former reports.
