Miss Van Horne has taken up her work
and gives fifteen minutes each day TO each
room of the schools.
The study of the rudiments of music has
been taken up simultaneously in each room
and each day marks progress with the pu-
pills. By the end of the scholastic year in
May Miss Van Horne hopes to have every
pupil of the Jerseyville schools advance to
such a point that the pupil can read music
of the ordinary grade at sight.
The Monday Musicale Club has secured
the consent of one of its member to give
free instruction until the end of the present
year in the hope that that body will see 1t
to include music in the regular curriculum
and employ a teacher for its regular In
etrIIction.

james Burns. ihe noted murderer
Of Covington oSaaiy, escaped from
jail al Williamsburg last week. lie
was under sentence 70 BE- hanged On
June ?. He killed felloS laborer
while a. work on the Gulf & Ship
Island railroad in Covington county
several months ago. lie was indlct-
ed for murder and convicted before
Judge Enochs. When Burns was
called up before the bar Of the court
10 be sentenced be created a great
sensation by roundly abusing the
judge and insulting him in coarse
and vulgar language. He appeared
10 be thoroughly Indifferent to his
fate and made himself notorious by
his seeming coolness. No particulars
are given. but it is confidently be-
lieved thst Burns was assisted IN his
escape by eonfederates, as the class
TO which he belongs are elannish and
desperate when driven 10 straits.
His case was appealed TO the SUI
preme Court, and the brief submit
ted was br Burns himself in his own
behalf. although il =as drawn by
some lawyer who took that much IN
terest IN his case. A reward VIII
doubtless be- offered for his capture,
and every effort sill be made 10
bring him 10 justice.

Work will be commenced this
week on cleaning mp the new state
house and removing the mud
brought in on the feet Of the fifteen
thousand visitors who passed
through the building on the Sd Of
June.
IL is estimated that at least car
load of yellow clay il distributed on
the marble floors Of the corridors
and apartments Of the building, and
ii will require several days to make
the interior look presentable again.
The work Of cleaning up will be
paid for By the capitol commission,
the visitors to the city having been
invited by that body. The expense,
however. viii not be very heavy. and
il is fortunate that the souvenir
fends did not get in their work on
the walls, owing to the presence OF a
large number OF guards who kept
close watch for people of this class.

The negro Robert Dennis, who
few nights since 70 brutally assault
cd Miss Beulah Bishop, a telephone
exchange employe in Greenville. and
who but for the heroic resistance
made BY the young lady in tins pro-
lection of her honor would have
committed a deed which his life
could not have avenged, was taken
from the Jail Of Washington comfy
last week BY the enraged populace
and hung in front of the telephone
exchange in Greenyille. This event
took place in broad daylight. and
those engaged in il made no attempt
at concealment, and but emphasizes
that unwritten law. that, when the
hand Of fend, black or white, is
laid upon a defenseless woman,
North or South, the penalty is
death, even in the face Of officers,
iron bars and strong locks.

Railroad Commission.

The Mississippi railroad commits
sion met last week With all members
present and a large number Of prom
inens railroad officials in attendance.
The chief subject before the body
was the petition Of the Meridian
board Of trade for a fiat rate Of three
and one-half cents per 100 on grain
and grain products from Yicksburg
to Meridian. The board wants the
rebilling rate made an open rate, 10
which the A. L v. road protests. as
does also the other roads hauling
these products into Meridian. For
mer Attorneys General McClurg rep
resented the board OF trade, and the
Mobile & Ohio council made the
chief arguments against the action.
II was finally decided to postpone
the matter until the first Tuesday in
JulY.
assurance was given bv General
Manager Clark, Of the Mobile &
Ohio, that the union depot al Cor
inth will be built within the NEXT
ninety DAYS.
