| had been very late In going to
school on this particular morning, the
morning Of the last class, and | was
much afraid of being scolded, the
more so as M. Hamel had told us he
would question US concerning the par
ticiples, about which | did not know
the first thing. For a moment, | even
thought of playing truant and running
of cross the fields.
I heard the blackbirds whistle in the
border Of the wood, and the Prussians
drilling in the meadow down behind
the sawmill; the weather was so
warm, SO clear, and all this was much
more attractive than the rule for par
ticiples! But l resisted the tempta-
ton and ran quickly to school.
AS l passed the office of the mayor,

little bulletin-board; for two years
this bulletin-board had given us moth

s%itions, orders of the administration.
We'll, what is 1t this time?" l asked
myself without pausing to find out.
But as | ran across the public squares
Wachter, the blacksmith, who with
his apprentice was reading the plac-
ard, called to me: Don't hurry so,
youngster! You will get to school
soon enough" But l thought he was
merely making game of me, and pant

din of desks opening and shutting, of

rapping of the masters great ruler on
the tables as he called: "Silence!"
On this morning, however, all was
quiet as though it were Sunday.
Through the open window | saw my

black silk which he usually wore only

ERWIN POPE PLACED
 IN COUNTY JAIL
WAS RECENTLY CONVICTED OF MURDER IN CALHOUN COUNTY AND IS BROUGHT HERE FOR sAFEkEEPING.

Erwin Pope, the negro charged with having shot and killed J. H. McClurkin, a well-known miller at Oxford, near Anniston, in Calhoun county, was com mitted to the Jefferson county jail yes terday morning for safekeeping
 Pope was brought to Birmingham yes- terday by Sheriff Legrand of Calhoun county. The negro has been placed in one of the most secure cells in the local prison, where he will probably be detained until the state supreme court decides his case.
 Pope is alleged to have killed McClurk- in, we'll known and quite prominent mil Ter at Oxford, the claim being made that he was attempting to rob the mill when discovered. The keeper of the mill got up in the dead of the night and followed the robber out into the streets of Oxford and the next morning he was found dead. Clues followed up by detectives on the case seemed to duplicate Pope, and in a very sensational trial the negro was con victed and sentenced to hang He ap- pealed his case, which is now pending in the state supreme court.
 Shortly after the murder feeling ran very high at Oxford and at Anniston, where Pope was confined It is stated that this feeling has never subsided, and the authorities are cautious. It is also stated that the Calhoun county jail at Anniston is considered insecure and that within the past few days saws and other like instruments have been smuggled into &l, tion Pope is confined In the Jefferson county jail.

 ThO Murders Yesterday

and if he shot any one he made no re- port to the sheriff. Coroner Brasher started down to Bessie mines early last night, but he learned that the streams separating Birmingham and the scene of the murder were so swollen that he would be unable to drive down, and there be- ing no train running in that direction last night he put the trip off until this morn ing.
 The killing at Brookside appears to have been a somewhat mysterious af- fai, although six negroes are being held in the jail at Brookside on suspicion of having committed the murder. From all that can be learned negro woman was the attendant of a dance near Brookside Saturday night, and while she was sit ting by one of the windows of the dance hall some one fired from the outside and killed her. The coroner will hold an of ficial investigation of the case tomorrow morning.

URGE DR. STAGG
 TO RECONSIDER
COMMITTEE FROM CONGREGATION WILL CALL ON HIM WITH URGENT REQUEST. TO WITH DRAW HIS RESIGNATION.

At congregational meeting held yes- terday morning at the First Presbyterian church, resolutions were unanimously adopted looking to the appointment of a committee of five to wait on the Rev. Dr. John W. Stagg to request him to withdraw his resignation as pastor of the church. It will be recalled that Dr. Stagg has decided to accept the presi- dency of the Alabama Synodical college at Anniston. The text of the resolutions adopted yesterday was as follows:
 "rhe congregation of the First Presby- terian church has received with sadness and regret the resignation of its pastor the Rev. John ". Stagg, D. D. We rec ognze In him faithful and sympathetic friend. a sincere, devoted and courageous minister of the gospel and one of the ablest preachers within the confines of the southern Presbyterian church. We feel persuaded that his withdrawal from the pastorate at this time to enter an- other and a different field, means so great a loss to the ministry of the Pres byterian church in general, and to this congregation in particular, that we should unite in an effort to secure from Dr. Stagg a reconsideration of his decision Therefore, be it
 Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed by the moderator of this meeting to call upon Dr. Stagg, and on behalf of this congregation to request him to withdraw his resignation as the pastor of this church, and said commit tee to report to called meeting of this congregation next Sabbath morning, June 27.
