TO admitgirls iNT 0 THE UNIVERSITY OF GEOR GIA. T ;IR BOARD OF VISITORS Recommended thls-The Report of ,ho Board Filed With the Gov- ernor-Many Important Re- _ commendations. The Board of Visitors, having com peted their labors, filed their report with the governor Thursday afternoon n Atlanta. The report is somewhat full of sensa tions, it is said, but it shows that the jioa d has been very conscientious in its labors. These visiting boards always make a report and many recommendations are OI lered, and this year the recommenda tions ire of such nature as will rather ft j r i.p aiscussion all over the State. And the most imptfrtant recommen dation is that the State University open its doors to the young ladies of the Slate, and that all the facilities of edu cation offered by the State University be placed tc the benefit of the fairer sex. As to whether this recommendation will ever become an active law of the University cannot be told at present, but it will set. the people of the State to thinking on Ihe question. The people all over the Union are talking over this quest ion, and as the Board of Visitors tay, “ he trend of the times is with this movement.” This movement will be one to popularize the University and often t e question is asked, why should not the young ladies of Georgia be piven as nood a chance as the young r en to a quire an education. The Board of Trustees now has before it a resolution looking to the consum mation of this end, and it will he disposed of at the meeting of the Board next Commencement. Steps vill b) t ken to put this recommenda- ticii of the Board of Visitors into effect. t-1 to Wear Uniform. The B a:d commends very highly the management of the military feature 01 the l niv rsity, and the work that lias been done by Col. SnelliDg. They recomnvn 1 that more attention than ever be paid to this department, ant' also that the wearing of the uniforms by the studt nts be made compulsory. The Board is desirious of every boy wearing uniform on all occasions, a id the main idea to be sub served is that of economy. The uni forms are cheaper than other clothes and then it enables the poor man’s son to dress as we 1 as the rich. Id all prob ability this recommendation will be carried c ut. Gymnasium and Athletics. The Board highly commended the ef- f jrts of thi boys in the domain of Ath letics and we: e of the opinion that a first class gymnasium should be estab lished. They were well pleased with the At iletic side of the University. Qther Points. The oard i ecommended the estab lish mint <i chair of electricity in the 1'uivers ty, be ng of the opinion that ibis subject is one of the most impor tant beiore the people of the world. The Board also recommended that all. applicants lor admission into the Law School should be compelled to pass an txanination l.:io the Sophomore class. The b ard recommended the erection «t houses for the professors on the cam- pis. ufco rsj it is not desired for hose professors who now own homes in the cit . to mot e to the campus, but the bnrd is of the o, inion that the pres ence of tie professors on the oampus nill be of goad moral effect on the stu dent,. ihe board consisted of Capt.

Atlanta, Ga., June 15.—The Agri cultural Bureau yesterday made tbe following encouraging we.kly report: Another favorable week has advanced in thecrcpi rapidly. On the whole the past week has probably been the mo t sstisf c qry of the present season. With a got. d degree (f heat and plenty cf sun shine thi re-have been abun lent show ers in most districts except in the south west. In seme isw eases the rain has been too heavy, washing the groui.d; and some point-, also, failed to rectivc auyra nfali. A general and slow rain woul l probably be the m >it beneficial thing that coul I now occur. As it is, the cr. p outlook is reported as above the avtrage in the northern portion of the State, and in all sections farmers are hopeful. Toe condition of cotton haacontinued to improve, and the cropia now making rapid advi>nc.ment. The plants are still small, anu their growth is some what retarded by cool nights, especially in the southwest section. In the north ern part of the Stite it seems fully up to the average for this date. With the deficient rainfall and the cool nights in Che southwest li :e have again appeared to. som j t x.ent. Chopping is about at «n end, and no comp’.aii t is now made as to tbe stands obtained. At some points the buds have develop’d and a few blooms are out. Corn is everywhere in excellent con- cition, and growing rapidly. In gmer.l it is small, but of good color acd heal thy. Early fields are in the tassel and stlk. In tbe easier a and southern counties it is being generally “lay d by.” Except fir slight damage by hail at scattered points, no complaint is m ade as to tbe condition of upland corn. On the bottoms there has been some washing, and consequent damage, from heavy showers. The harvest cf oats and wheat is nearly completed- la noithern dis tricts the oat crop turned out better than was anticipated. More than an average wheat crop is reported in the same section. The acreage of wheat is small, but the yield is excellent. Rust is reported in a few cases, but there is no general complaint. Peaches are ripening, and the earli- est are already coming to market. The crop will be an abundant one. Occa sional complaints are made of their rot ting and dropping on moist lands. The crop cf early apples is not so abundant, bui fall »p: les are p’entiful. Pears will be abort. Small fruits are abuu dant— 1 lackberries unusual'y so. Mel ons stanu in nted if rain to give them size. They are being shrppeo, but are sma 1 With early and abundant rain in the melon districts, a fair crop would be marketed- Without rain, it will be somewhat short. The past week has afforded an excel lent opportuuity for setting out tobac co and potato plants, which has been indus'nously improved. These crops are in good condition, although late. More potatoes and peas are being plant ed than in former years. In many cases peas are being planted after the early oats, Cane and rice are in excellent con dition in most cases, but in some in stances inland rice has been drowned out for the want of proper diainage.

Thirty Workman Were Hurled to the Water Below.

The Bay Line Steamers' Warehouse Burn ed and Several Vessels Damaged. Baltimore, Jane 15.—The big ware house of the bay liue of steamers, at the foot of Union dock, took fire from an unknown cause, and, within five minutes was a roaring mass of flames. Stored inside the warehouse, which is several hundred feet long, were between five hundred and one thouBft id bales of cotton, several ship loads of rosin in barrels, and a greater number of hogs heads of molasses. The inflatnable na ture of the contents of the warehouse caused the blaze to spread with light ning-like rapidity. Fire plugs were scarce, and the engine had to hunt for openings in lumber piles in order to get water from the dock. The big four- masted- schooner Augustus Weil, the steamer Caroline, and a number of other vessels lay at the pier when the fire broke out. The Caroline caught fire, but the tugs made a desperate effort to save her. The schooner Wirt was wrap ped in flames in a few minutes. The heat was terrible on the firemen, and several dropped at the hose pipes. The loss will approximate $1,000,000. The fire is thought to have originated from spontaneous combustion among the cotton. None of the vessels lying at the docks were totally destroyed, be cause a tugboat drew them into the stream, where the fireboat, Cataract, and streams from the tugs saved them from total loss; but several fine vessels were badly damaged. The warehouse was totally destroyed with its -contents, including 5,000 bales of cotton and over one thousand, two hundred barrels of whisky, intended for foreign shipment. THE ARKANSAS CONVENTION.
