WILL ADDRESS CITIZENS
ON GOOD ROADS
e. L. Ferguson, Expert on Road Build
ing, Will Address Citizens Of
Bryan, SEPTEMBER II.

The Eagle has received communi-
cation from the Houston Post in
which the information is conveyed
that that paper, in conjunction with
five other Southern newspapers, has
undertaken to select an. open-all-the-
lyear-round transcontinental auto road
from ocean to ocean. To this end
they have secured the services of E.
L. Ferguson. road expert, and he is
now touring the route of the proposed
road and addressing the citizens of
the various towns through which the
road is proposed to run. The pro-
posed route, Denison to the gulf in
Texas, includes Bryan and Mr.. Fer
guson is scheduled to address the citi-
zens on Thursday, September IL.
What he has to say will undoubtedly
prove of interest and value to every
citizen in the county, and The Eagle
would be glad to see every section OF
the county represented Thursday.
Judge Maloney, in speaking of the
proposed road through Brazos Coun-
ty, told an Eagle man this morning
that he had in view a plan to build
a 60-foot road through the county,
running from the Navasota River to
Benchley, a distance of about thirty
miles, and that some action in the
matter would be taken in the near
future.
Mr.. Ferguson is accompanied by a
reporter for the Post, who reports the
reception received and the conditions
of the roads over which they pass,
and it's up to the people of Bryan to
provide entertainment for them when
they reach here.
An effort was made to see the Sec
retary of the Comemrcial Club, but
he was out of the city, hence 1t can
not be stated what action will be
taken, but as Bryan's business men
are a live bunch and believe in doing
things it is a safe bet that the party
will receive a warm welcome when
they reach here.

EIGHT NEGROES sMOTH-
Erred IN A DARK SELL
Men Were Being Punished for Refus-
Ing to Pick Cotton-Four Sur
vivors Suffering No ~ Ef-
fects from Experience.

Richmond, Tex, Sept Sin the
dark cell'' at Camp No. on the Har-
lem State Farm, eight young negroes
were smothered to death Saturday
night.
The cell is room constructed OF
three plank walls and roof, nine feet
eight inches long, seven feet one inch
wide and seven feet high
To ventilate this cell there are four
holes one inch in diameter through
the floor, terminating just above the
ground; six holes. also one inch in
diameter, bored through the roof to
carry off the foul air.
The negro convicts died because
they were poisoned by the foul air,
which had been used time and again.
Four other negroes were in the
small cell at the same time and all
of these will recover. Three of the
four were in corners near the air
holes and the fourth was very close
to the door and got breathing air from
the cracks about it; though the door
fits very closely and the black asserts
that there wasn't more than enough
air for his personal use.

VILLA MARIA ACADEMY
OPENS FOR SESSION
The Twelfth Annual Session Of This
Fine School Opens-Fair
Enrolment.

The 1894 session of Villa Maria
Academy opened this morning under
favorable auspices and bids fair to
be a most successful one. This is the
twelfth year of this institution and
the enrolment for this session is bet
ter than for years, and quite num-
Der of out-of-town pupils are yet to
come in. Taken all in all, the session
just beginning has a brighter future
before it than any heretofore, and
with the increased enrolment much
good will doubtless be accomplished.
The opening exercises today were
informal, the time being spent in re-
ceiving new students, enrolling and
classifying. The regular daily pro-
gram of work will begin in earnest
tomorrow, though new students will
be arriving for several days yet.
The new schedule arranged over
the interurban will be great con-
venience for the school and greatly
facilitate the splendid work this
school is doing.

cell remove one dead negro. He made
a further investigation and told the
