It is recommended by the board that a portion of the campus be graded for use in athletic sports and the lower floor of Philosophical hall be turned into a gymnasium, as the hoard thinks the physical development should go hand in hand with the mental. The lioard found the rooms and furni ture in the literary department far infe rior to those in the scientific department, where the professors have elegant rooms and furniture secured with funds appropriated to thb State by theTeileral Government through the Hateh bill. The board deplores the fact that the professors of the literary department have reoms into which they w ould be justly ashamed to invite visitors. Some of the quarters where teaching is done are condemned as a disgrace to the State, and the low salaries paid some of the professors are deplored. The board ends its report by appeal ing for more money for the University. Chancellor Boggs was seen at the Kimball house by a reporter and asked if he had anything to say in regard to r««lfrine""and recommended what the hoard had said about tl 1 * . i .i, JV mnttai* faculty. He replied that he was a little sur prised that the report should have been given to the public, but he did not deem it proper to express any opinion concerning it, further than to say it w as very thorough document and one that showed the board to have been alive to its duties, as everything had been ex amined into. h, trustees look into the matter.

Jackson County Sends a Sensation—Sov oral Men Scalded, Perhaps Fatally. Mr. J. M. Booth, of Jackson county was in the eity yesterday, and gave the particulars of the bursting of an engine on Thursday, owned by Mr. George Lavender, and stationed on the road from Jefferson to Santa Fee. There is no one who can give any cause for the bursting of the engine, as there was only a small head of steam on, and all at once it was lifted from the earth and blown fiftv yards, the engine going one way, and the doors to the engine aud irons going one hundred yards in an opposite direction. The report made by the burstiug was heard for many miles around, and as the engine went whiz zing through the woods, it tore down large tree that it came in contact with There wee/several of the workmen, who were standing near, badly scalded, and one of the men may probably die. Mr Booth says the destruction around the engine was terrible, and it is a wonder that no one was killed. $40,000 Lost. “I lost forty thousand dollars by periodical attack of nervous sick head ache,” said a Chicago capitalist to a cor respondent, pointing across the street to a handsome corner lot. “That lot was sold for ten thousands dollars at public auction five years ago, and I intended to buy it, hut was too sick with head ache to attend the sale, qnd it is now worth fifty thousand dollars.” if he had known of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purga tive Pellets they would have removed the cause of his headaches—biliousness —and he would have made the money Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets cure sick headache, bilious headache, dizziness, constipation, indigestion, and bilious attacks; 25 cents a vial, by drug gists. More cases of sick headache, bilious ness, constipation, can be cured in less time, with less medicine, and for less money, by using Carter’s Little Liver Fj pills, than by any other means. THE FIREMEN. [CONTINUED FROM 7TH PAGE.] eba the THE STEAMER CONTEST. The steamer contest occurred at 11 ’clock. The following was the gov-: erning rules: The steamer to come to eistern empty and cold. To be filled with cold water by the committee up to the first guage. The fuel to be furnished by the com mittee, and to lie the same ds fired with in ease of fire, (either wood or coal.) Time to be taken from the first appear ance of smoke from the top of stack, and the engine to throw water fifty yards through not less than forty-eight feet of hose. Howell Cobb steamer, of Atliens, first took the stand, Engineer Williford, in arge. The engine was examined by ie committee, and pronounced ready for the contest. The boiler was filled, and fuel placed in the fire box ready for starting. Two torches were placed under the engine, and in a second a volume of thick smoke was seen coming out of the top, “Go,” said acting Judge Platt. The -engineer and assistant were at every part of the machine at once. Fans were used to create a draft, and in three minutes Engineer "Williford touched the whistle as a signal.that the water should be turned on. In a second it came, and at the expiration of 5 minutes 51 1-5 seconds from the time the fire was started a bold stream was playing across the fifty yard mark. The result called forth loud cheers as the time was a seepnd earlier than the Howell Cobb had ever made it be fore. The machine was moved off, and the Queen City, of Gainesville then took the stand. The Queen City, like the Howell Cobb, is a first class steamer and is handsomely finished oft'. The judges made their examination, and pronounced her ready to he filled. In forcing the water in the boiler from the plug, the steamer was accidentally flooded, including the fire box. The engineer of the Queen City stated that he could not give his engine a fair te for getting up steam in that condition and jy* there was no prize for distance he would withdraw from the contest Assistant Dorsey asked if they wanted anything for drying the box and was told “no,” so the Queen City withdrew. The foot race, the most exciting fea ture of the tournament, then fol lowed. THE BRASS BAXBS. The Wide-Awake hand from Aineri chs, gave an exhibition of their skill On the horn l efore they left at 12 o’clock and after the foot race the other visit ing bands appeared before the judges A protest was filed against the Harmo ny Grove band on account of their leader being a professional musician,but this was overruled when the leader de dared himself a bona-fide member of the band. The boy band bad the sym pathy- of the crowd on their side, but the judges could not give them a prize A purse was made up on the spot, and the little fellows went home as happy as any. Wide-Awake band, of Americus, cap tured the prize. This gives Americus two prizes. The Hook and Ladder contest was declared oft', as the members'of Pioneer Hook and Ladder were too ancient to make the race. TnE FOOT RACE. The interest in the foot race was far above all the other contests. John Knox, of Lexington, had the call-on all the bets made, and he was even offered against the field with small odds in his favor. Gus Nicholson did not give his back ers any comfort only that he would “get there Eli,” if his legs would carry him, The following were the rules governing the race: Man to run one hundred yards in quickest time. Three men to be selected by Captain of each company-. Any man causing foul play to be ruled out. Pulaski, of Hawkinsyille, showed up with J V P. MeGriff, whose well trimmed muscles showed him every ineh a man and one that would get there if possi ble. Pioneer No. 5 led out their old favor ites, Gus Nicholson and Bill Reaves who have never failed to show up ^when there was any running to be done. The old reliable Hope No. 1, trotted out their best man, and the odds were in their favor. John Knox, Fred Gann and Charlie Childers. The hopes of the company were centered in Knox for he had never known defeat, and was confident that he would throw- the dirt in the other’s eyes. The judges in the stand all held their fingers on stop watches, and were de termined that the race should be given to the man coming out in front. Bang w ent the pistol. Here they come, their le^s and arms w r orking like a 30-horse pow er engine. Knox makes a slip on the send off. Gus Nicholson takes the lead. Knox recovars, hut i3 in the rear He works nobly and puts forth all of his * strength, but alas I it is too late to recover, aud Gus Nicholson crosses the line in 111-5, withJohu Knox a gt o’ second, while the other runners close on their, heels. Gus Nicholson as soon taken on the shoulders of No- , and a perfect ovation given him. The friends of Mr, Knox, seeing his mishap nt the commencement of the roce, of fered to bet $500 that he could beat the race in tweety minutes, but the money was not taken. SIr.i Knox is a runner, and it is rougn on his backers that he made a slip on the start. . Such Is life; the fastest horses some times bolt the track or stump their toe, but is is too late after the race is run. HARMONY GROVE Besides sending down two good bands of music the beautiful little town on the Northeastern sent- down their chief, Col. Adolphs Little, with his small band of firemen. Chief Little w’oultl not enter the contest, as his men had only practiced with water buckets, and were not used to running withreels and working steamers. Chief Little offered to back his. company for any amount when water buckets were allow-ed in a contest. GRAND JUBILEE. After the program on the track had been completed yesterday, the differ ent compauies gathered at Pioneer Hall where a general jubilee was indulged in for a conpie of hours. The winners were congratulated on their laurels and all joined in the uni versal merry making. Champagne and wine flowed free, add all the boys were in a gale of pleasure. Numerous speeches w'ere made and all in the hap piest strain. It w-as a perfect meeting and a most suitable finale to the great firemanlc celebration. From the hall, the different companies were escorted to their trains as they were forced to leave anil many w-ere the pleasant con gratulations and warm adieus at part- Each company w as presented with a keg of beer and a dozen goblets to re fresh them on their joujney. Capt Beusse, our veteran fireman, says the meeting at the hall was the pleasantest occasion he ever witnessed and is de lighted With the way the boys acquitted themselves. He says they have hail fun enough for two years. GOOD BYE. The Athens firemen disliked very much for the Americus firemen to leave before the contest w-as over, The Wide-Awake is a splendid com pany, 'anC have a fine band.. We hope to see them again in the near future especially the young ladies who came with the firemen. The hearts of seve ral of the Athens firemen have been captured, and if the C. & M. will give cheap rates they will be seen in Ameri cus soon. A Baseball Man Has a Victory. Ralph Staples, first baseman for the Greenstockings, and Maude Keen,a din ing room girl at the Reynolds House bought a twentieth ticket in the Louisi ana State Lottery in partnership, and at last Tuesday’s drawing got $15,000, or $7,500 each.—South Ben (Ind.) Weekly Times, April 19. Never Contented. There are people who are never con tented with their surroundings, clouds amt darkness appear before them wheth er it rains or shines. Skiff the Jeweler recommends for such, a pair of his dia mond spectacles or in extreme cases a pair of the marked glasses.

Macon, Ga., May 18.—A Telegraph man was talking to a gentleman yester day, who is usually well informed on such topics, and he expressed the opin ion that Tom Woolfolk would probably he tried in this county, in spite of the change of venue to Houston county. “You know,” said the gentleman, that the trial is now conditionally set for June 5th. It has already been post poned once, and it may be again, which would not be sur prising, it would then have to go over until the October term. Well, there-is an undercurrent of im patience about the whole matter that suggests the propriety of getting over with it some way or another as quietly as possible. Now, the jury-box of Bibb county will be revised in August, and a great many more names will be added to the list. When this is done there will be no trouble to get a jury. There are nine indictments against Tom, and what-is to prevent the State from taking up one of the eight on which he has never been arrainged and bringing him to trial before the new array of jurors?” . The reporter was not lawyer enough to answer the question, and the gentle man said that he could see nothing in the'way of carrying out such a pro gram. What Pat Gave the Drum a good heating.
