Jackson is announced that the
trustees of the deaf and dumb nsti-
'ute will meet in a few days for the
purpose of looking at sites for the new
enstitution which the legislature will
nave to construct in lieu Of the old one
which wac destroyed by fire. The las
legislature by joint resolution called
upon the trustees to locate new site
Tor the institution. This resolution
was adopted before the fire. It was
Inc idea of the lawmakers that the In
etltution should be moved to q su bur-
ban location where more ample
grounds and healthier surroundings
could be had. The site in the city
was also becoming valuable and would
net considerable sum at sale. The
trustees have already been consider
Ing the matter and several sites have
been offered to them. Under the res
olution they are to examine desirable
sites and report to the legislature,
making such recommendations as they
think proper for the guidance OF the
body in selecting location. One of
the sites offered is the Sligo stock
farm property just on the western bor-
der of the city. This is large and
splendid stock farm mpletely stock
ed with fine herd of graded cattle
and dairy outfit of the most up-to-
date pattern. The farm can be bought
with or without the stock and dairy
outfit. It is an ideal location for the
institution aud will doubtless attract
the attention of the legislature.
Paul Gilmore, who has been playing
such star engagement in the city
has been given preliminary trial for
burglary. The first witness examined
was Manager Smith, of the New Ed
wards, from which hotel large num-
Der of valuable things were stolen,
and later found in Gilmore's room.
Mr.. Smith identified the goods and
testified as to where they were located
before being stolen. A negro who
runs an eating house near the depot
testified that on July Gilmore rented
a house from him. He said that two
weeks ago Gilmore asked to hire a
wagon to move some furniture. The
articles were brought in about 10
o'clock at night. The witness said
that there was another white man on
the wagon when he drove up, and he
believes that he could identify him if
he saw him again. The mayor placed
Gilmore under a bond of 5000 to
await the action of the grand jury.
There are other charges against Gill
more. He will probably be tried for
seduction and abduction.
The announcement has been made
by Rev. w. G. Whitaker, Rector of
st. Andrews Church, that the conse.
Grafton of Rev. Theodore @. Bratton.
of Raleigh, N. c., as Bishop of Mis-
sissippi will take place in this city
on Sept. 20. The conservation will
be held in the new edifice which is
now being erected by st. Andrews
congregation. The conservation of
DIR. Bratton will be religious event of
of the first magnitude in the south.
and it is expected that there will be in
attendance large number of southern
bishops.
While going home from a vaudeville
entertainment at Suburban Park, Palm
Bridges, steward at the State hospital
for the insane, was compelled to stand
on the running board of large open
car because of the crowds. The car
had turned from Capitol street into
State street and was going at lively
clip. At the corner of Yazoo and
State streets Mr.. Bridges leaned ever
too far and struck one of the trolley
poles located in the middle of the
track, Mr.. Bridges was knocked off
the car, and when friends ran to his
aid it was found that he was insen-
sible. The physicians announced that
they hope for the recovery of Mr..
Bridges.
