WAS A PLOT TO ROB TRAIN.
Another Story of Shooting of TIVE
Maj; Clerks by Negro.

Another Story of Shooting of TIVE
Maj; Clerks by Negro.
According to reports received IN BIT
mingham by the Alabama Great South
ern railway, the shooting OF two pos
tai clerks on northbound train No. z
early Monday morning, Two miles
north of Meridian, Miss, was part OF
bold plot to rob the train.
The shooting was done by Jim Par
is, negro, who boarded the train IN
the Meridian yards, as it was pulling
out. Before it was fairly under good
Roadway, Paris entered the postal car
and opened fire on Postal Clerks J. T.
Stockton and A. J. Bass, killing Stock
ton instantly and woundlng Bass ID
the arm.
The negro then seized a package OF
registered mail and jumped off.
In leaving the train he fell and had
one foot crushed under the wheels, but
managed to drag himself three miles.
Bloodhounds were secured at Nerd,
ian, the train having backed to that
place, and they traced Paris, who they
found with a number of registered let
tiers in his pocket. He is now In jail
at Meridian. A mob was at once form
ed to lynch the prisoner, but Governor
Vardaman called out the militia and
frustrated their plans.

Gordon Fund Increases.

Reports from numerous committees
were received at the meeting of the
central executive committee Of the
John b. Gordon Monument Association
in Atlanta few days ago.
In the first place, all of the Atlanta
committees were heard from, and
nearly all of them came forward with
additional subscriptions. Some $500
or $500 in new subscriptions were re-
ported, bringing the total now actual
ly subscribed, about $4,000.
President w. L. Calhoun read re.
ports received by letter from quite {
number of the committees in various
Georgia cities. These have just about
had time since their appointment to
organize, but they all report an enthu-
siastic readiness to take hold of the
work and push it in their respective
communities. President Calhoun also
read extracts from letters received
from other states showing that there
is good prospects of receiving substan.
tial additions to the fund from many
sections of the south. Several south
ern papers have taken the matter up
and are. calling for subscriptions to
the fund.
President Calhoun said he estimated
100000 as the amount which would be
needed to build the statue contem-
plated.

The contract for the Georgia build
ing at st. Louis has been let by the
state commission to James Lawrence
Brown & Co., of st. Louis, the work TO
be completed by April 80 next, in full
time for the opening of the exposition
This conclusion was reached only af
ter an all day session of the commits
sioner of Agriculture 0. B. Stevens,
Commissioner General Dudley M.
Hughes, Vice Commissioner Hugh V
Washington, Assistant Commissioner
Glascock Barrett and Captain H. H.
Tiff, of Triton, president of the Geor-

tives of two firms, Brown & Co. and
Broderick & Wing, with the result that
they secured the lowest possible price
or some $4,000 lower than the first
bids.
The result of the work of the COM
missioners is that a building which
will be reproduction Of Sutherland, !"
the home Of the late General John B.
Gordon, will be put up for the state on
the fair grounds at st. Louis, and will
be ready when the fair opens for use.
The building will be the exact size IF

production, as was contemplated some
weeks ago.

John Dyal, formerly section boss
of the Atlantic Coast Line, has been
arrested and is in jail at Hinesville,
charged with the murder of Section
Boss Leland Murray, who was assas-
sinated from ambush. The arrest was
made by officers Of the Coast Line.
The arrest of Dyal was upon circum
stantial evidence. He was in the en-
ploy of the company up to the time OF
the recent strike of maintenance OF
way employees, and it is said that he
had been heard to make threats.
The assassin fired on Murray from
ambush, striking him in the face and
killing him instantly. Murray's men
started toward him, whereupon the as
sassin fired upon them also, one of
the negroes being hit in the arm.
The railway authorities at Savannah

sassination and at once offered a re
ward of $1,250 for the arrest of the as

AtIanta,s Present PopuIatlon.

The 1904 city directory of Atlanta
has just been issued. 1t contains Al,
34S names, which, using the multiple
of rs, gives Atlanta a population of
14O,5S2. This is a gain of about 49,,
coo in population since the last city
directory was issued The increase
however, is conceded by the manager
of the directory to be more than that,
for the reason that he has left out o.
the city directory this year, about 1000
names of negro men and women, who
have no permanent abiding place. who
were entirely irresponsible and who
were thought to be unfit to have their
names in the book.

Methodists to Have Hospital.

By filing an application for a charter
in the Fulton county superior court at
Atlanta, the Methodists of Georgia
have taken definite action in the mat
ter of establishing a large charity hos
pital and training school for nurses IN
the center Of the city to be run in con
junction with the Wesleyan taber-
nacle.
The application for a charter IS
made by such well known Methodists
as Bishop Warren A. Gambler, George
Winship, Rev. M. ]. Cofer, Colonel H.
Warner Hill, DR.. Floyd McRea, Colonel
George M. Napier, Henry S. Johnson,
Asa G. Gambler, J. n. McEachern DR..
l.. G. Fisher, S. B. Adams. Rev. w. B
Lovett, w. P. Wallis, G. G. Goodrich
and Robert T. Daniel.
These applicants also compose the
board of trustees which will control
the hospital when erected.
The application for the charter
states that the object of the hospital
is the promotion of the Christian re-
ligion, education and charity particu-
larly for medical and surgical treat
ment of all diseases and intrmities OF
every kind whatsoever"
1t is also stated in the application
Of those desiring to be incorporated
that it is their wish to have training
school for nurses in conjunction with
the hospital and they pray the court TO
allow the granting of diplomas tc
young women graduates.
The concern is to have no capital
stock, but asks for the privilege of buy
ing and selling real estate. The hos
pital will depend largely upon contri-
buttons for it's maintenance.

College Training.

From recent statistics we learn
that there are sos colleges and univer-
stiles in the United States, with to-
tai enrolment of 5000 students or
one student for 100 of the population,
When we consider how few go to col
lege and how great is the percentage
of success among these, the value OF
college training is made manifest. In
all ranks, in all great places the names
of the immortals are in the proportion
of SO to 1 in favor of college men. In
state affairs university men hold a
large majority of important positions;
in the ministry the graduates of En-
DRY and Mercer and the University
FIJI the chief appointments; in farming
the largest farmers are graduates,
and in the great army of industry col
lege men hold nearly 100 per cent. OF
the positions assigned to generals. IN
the army and navy none but college
men need apply The great leaders on
both sides of the civil war were col
lege men. The civil service makes it
imperative for any one hoping to Sc
cure a really valuable position under
the government to have a college edu
cation in order to pass the rigid exam
inations. The demand is everywhere
for the trained intellect, men who can
think, who can originate, who can
bring things to pass, who can do things
and know why they do them. The de-
mand is not so much for the mere
manufacturing of machinists or chem
lists, but for highly skilled, fully cul-
utred intellects of broad, deep human
istic culture. Sam Spencer said that
he could find many four-dollar-a-day
men for the shop, but the men OF SUI
perior mental training and executive
force were at a premium. I met 4
young man recently who came south
to install $4,000 electric plant He
was only thirty, yet he was getting a
salary equal to that of a congress
man. In reply to my question as 10

AS result of the study by Miss
Leavitt of the photographs of the two
Magellanic clouds. the Harvard OBJ
servatDry announces the discovery of
more than 100 variable stars in the
so-called large cloud.
The two clouds had long been objects
of careful study on account Of the ex-
traordinary physical conditions which
prevail in them, but heretofore they
have not been known as regions in
which variable stars are numerous.
After the discovery of a large number
of such stars in the small cloud. pre-
viously announced. Miss Leavitt was
led to make an examination of the
large one.
The variability of all of these stars
and Of those announced as variable in
circulars have been confirmed either
by Mrs. Fleming or by Miss Leland,
and preparations are being made for
determining the precise positions. pc
riods and light curves of all these
variables. This will be a big piece OF
work and progress will necessarily be
slow.
