President Evans and Commissioner Bradwell with the entire faculty, will be the toast of the State for many days to come on the great success they have scored for the teachers Institute. The work done the past week has been of a superior quality. The brainy faculty has delivered forcible lectures, on the fundamental principles of teaching, and each day has found more than two hundred interested teachers, imbued with a desire to gain informs tion assembled in the ltctnre halls. la an interview with President Evans on yesterday, he said, in speak ing to a Banner reporter: “Yes, sir; our srccess has been phenomenal. In the first place a much lsrger number of teachers assembled than we could rea sonably hope for the 1st session of the school, and their promptness at all lec tures showed clearly that they were thirsty for knowledge and information that they might be better equipped for the noble work before them, and their interest did not close with the leo.-ires either, but frequent discussions were held in the respective rooms of the teachers at night, when the work of the day would bo reviewed and dis cussed.” Do 'j ou think the past week’s work will materially aid the teachers in the common schools this year, Professor ? “Yes, iudeed,” came President Evans’ ready reply. , “They will be as a wholp, largely benefited for the work of ’92.

ATHENS TEAM SCORES ANOTHER VICTORY. FOSTER’S CURVES Puzzled the Visitors—“Pete” Wilson’s Pitching Was Very Good But the * , <Battery Did Not Have the Sup port to Win. It was a great game. That is the verdict of all who were out at the Athletic park yesterday af ternoon. There were some disaj pointed specta tors, however, for when it was an nounced that C mer was to play Ath ens everybody expected a close game. Those who bad seen the “HardBbells” from Madison county on the field be fore did not expect to see them so badly defeated. The Comer boys first went to the bat and failed to score, then the Athens team scored one. On the fourth inning the Conur team scored their only run; while the Athens boys scored one in tbe third, three in the fourth, two in the fifth and two in the eighth inning Following is the score - ATHENE.

Mr. Enloe called up os a matter of privilege the resolution calling on the postmaster general for a report as to all A^e-new service established since March 4,1889, together with copies of all tbe correspondence on the subject. Tbe Republicans desired the report to go back to March, 1885. Mr. Enloe de clined the amendment to that effect, and the Republicans declined to vote. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Holman, from the committee on appropriations, reported, and the house passed the joint resolution extending temporarily (until July 30) certain ap propriations for the support of the gov ernment. Mr. Holman also reported back the sundry civil appropriation bill with tbe senate amendments, with the recom mendation that all senate amendments be non-concurred in. The Committee from Homestead.

Va., July 15.—The theft of the papers aud documents in the Clonston case was the cause of great excitement. There are now in jail, charged with the theft, Charles Webb, porter of the Blenfierbasset Hotel; Wil lis Jackson, a negro barber, and E. Ward Clouston. Clouston was taken before the circuit court, when his old bondsman game him op and refused t-> have anything more to do with him. There were five capiases against him. and nobody would go on bis bond. He was then taken before Justice Stapleton to answer to the charge of theft, but waived examination, and was sent to jail. Jackson, one of the prisoners, con fesses that Clonston offered him $50 to steal the papers. Webb, the other pris oner, confesses that he located the box for Jackson, but denies stealing it. A man named Shumway, a witness in one of the cases against Oiouston, says that two hours before the robbery was dis covered Clonston: told him that he had secured and burned all papers, and that he was now free. There are other wit nesses whose testimony is strong evi dence against Clonston. It is generally beleived that Clouston has all along been protected during his trials by out side parties who have had a hand in the robberies, and that they wore afraid Clonston would blow if convicted. In fact Clonston openly threatened to make things hJt for certain parties if he was not palled oat of a bole. I THE DAL TheyvRoD alTKtp: DALTON GANG. STEVENSON IN NORTH CAROLINA. lie Will Meet with the Untorrlfled Some Time In September. Charlotte, July 15.—Some weeks ago it was suggested that a great politi cal rally be held in Cbarlotte some time in September, aud that Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson, the Democratic nominee for vice {^resident, be invited to address it. The suggestion was acted c4>on at once,* and a letter of invitation was dispatched to Mr, Stevenson. Mr. Charles W. Til- lett received a reply from Mr. Steven son. It was written at Bloomington, I1L, on the Uth. In his letter Mr. Stev- enson'says that it would give him pleas ure to visit Charlotte, but he is not now able to set an exact date for liis visit. He further acknowledges his indebted ness to the North Carolina delegation in the Chicago convention. Mr. Stevenson says further that lie will write again at a later date more definitely. It is qnite safe to say that Mr. Sterenson will be in Cbarlotte in September, and then tbe citizens of thiB city will have the great est political rally ever known in the history of the Queen City.

Adair, L T., July 15.—The Missouri, Kansas and Texas passenger train No. 2, south bound, was held np by a gang of mqsked robbers near here. They ex tracted the contents of the safe of the Pacific Express company, and made good their escape. It is believed the robbers are the Dalton gang, who are responsible for a large number of simi lar crimes in the territory, tbe latest being the robbery of the Santa Fe ex press, near Red Rock, a month ago. The express messenger in the mean time locked the safe and hid the key. after having barricaded the doors. The robbers broke through the barricade, drilled the safes, blew them open with powder, securing the contents. The amount stolen is said to be between fif ty and seventy-five thousand dollars. Four of the gang were recently oap- tnred near Gnthrie. A posse is on tho track of the others. SHILOH’S CONSUMPTION CURE.

Cedabtown, Ga., July 15.—The ap pearance of the Cedartown Standard, announcing Major Joseph A. Blance’s candidacy for congress, was a political sensation. He will most likely be the third party nominee, and this tarn of affairs gives Polk county the two proba ble congressional candidates. With Congressman Everett and Ma,i jr Blanco pitted against each other, the old bloody seventh will assume all the excitement and interest incident to its noted politi cal battles of the past.

Forming a Military Organization. Chicago, July 15.—Secretary Barns Of Sheriff Wler Recalls an inddentot 1864. Beaufort, S. C., July 13th, Mr. Editor:—Your picture is the Banner of the 5th inst, of Sheriff Y’ier brought fresh to my memory, an inci dent which occurred near Savanui, Ga., in Feb. 1SC4. Col. Mells regiment oj State troops front Athens was in camp below Savannah, near Thunder bolt. It was cold weather, said to lie the coldest for many years. J. W. Wier was then a boy, about 10 years old. He and I were in mess to gether. It was a cold morning, and we had drawn syrup the nigbt before, and put it in one of our canteens. There was only a pint of it, and Messrs. Thos. Ep L >s and Flisch, both of whom were in the same mess, with us, neither 0! them wanted syrup for breakfast. So “Jack” and I saw a good tiling in that, and that good thing was that we ware going to have the syrup all to our selves. With a tin pan for a plate, and each of ns with a piece of bread in our hand we sat down, and Jack took up tne canteen and commenced to pour out syrup. Owing to the cold weather it come out in a stream about as big aa broom-straw, and whenever there was as much aa a spoonfull in tbe pan, I would just wipe it up with my bread. Jack soon saw at this rate of pouring that his chances forgetting any of the syrup was slim. I saw Jack begin to get restless and look around as if things were not going on exactly to gait him, and Anally he said to me, call ing me by name, “I wish you woued pour awhile,” which I of course did and we never stopped until we dreaned the canteen of all the sweetness in it. But it will never be known which of ns got the most of the syrup. papers from the secretary of state which. The first monument was soon destroyed when filled out, will entitle the work ingmen of Chicago to form a military organization under the laws of Dlinois. It is estimated that one week from the day of its incorporation 3,500 men will have signed their names to the roll. Fifteeu hundred men have already signed. Vf. F. Ilarrity for Chairman. New York.

Mr. Field’s wife died Nov. 21, 1891. and soon after the firm in which his son, Edward M., was a lead ing member, went to wreck. Much of the father’s fortnne was swept away, and tbe son is left a stranded wreck in a mad house. .
