These were qnlokly dispersed, and s line was drawn so that only those per sons who had business In (he oity hall were allowed to pass even within the outer doors.

How do yon plead." “I did not hear, you,” said Czoigoez, thus ottering tho first words he had ever spoken in oonrt. Mr. Penny repeated the statement made in the indlotment. "How do yon plead?" asked the District Attorney. "Guilty," replied Ozolgosz, In a fli-m tone. Jnstloo White promptly aaid;_ "The court cannot accept that plea, and a plea of ‘not guilty' will be entered.” Jndge Titns then rose to nddress the oonrt. Jndge Titns said he did not wish to say anything in apology for the presence ofjhimseif and his assistants, but he wished to explnin the reason why they were there. "At the time we were assigned to de fend the prisoner," said he, "I was ont of the city, and neither myself nor asso ciates wero consulted about the assign ment. At first I declined to aoaept, bat Inter considered it a duty that I owed to the court to nocopt the tusk, disagree able though it was. So we are here to see the defendant, If he be guilty, oon- vioted only on such evidenco os the law of the land requires in cases of this obaraoter, aud that in the trial the forms of law be observed as the statutes de mand in cases of this class.” Justioe White Bnid the court wonld order a plea of "not grnity" In behalf of the prisoner, jnst as though he had not pleaded guilty. The calling of tales men for a jury was then ordered.

President Egan ao Announces—Will be Turned Over to 0. S. S. Co. Oct. 1—Will Oo on Line Some Time In Decomber. From the Savannah Press, Sept. 13,1001. President John M. Egan, of the Cen tral of Georgia Railway and Ocean Steamship Oompany, returned from New York today, where he went to meet officials of the Plant System with refer enced to the pnrohase of Plant steam ship La Grande Duchesso. "The Ocean Steamship Oompany has acquired the Plant System steamer La Grande Duchesse,” said President Egan this morning to a Press representative. "La Grande Duohesse will follow the international yacht r ices about the clos ing days of the month, if they are not postponed, aud about Ootober 1 will bo turned over to tho company. She will be entirely overhauled, her passenger accommodations considerably decreased and her freight room likewis.e increased. Her freight room, when the proposed alterations are completed, will be about the same as those of the Kansas City. It will probably take about two months to make the changes we desire in the ship, which will put her in the service of the company about December 1. Cer tainly the ship should be on the line by the first of the year. "As in all cases of buyer aud seller we were apart when the negotiations began, the sellers asking more for the ship than we offered. Finally we got together on the price, which was in the nature of a compromise figure " The people of Savannah will rejoice to read the above news, as the Grande Duohesse has always been a prime fa vorite in this section. When this mag nificent ship was first launched she ran on the line between here and New York for a time and on every trip her passen ger accommodations were filled to the utmost limit.

A Baltimore young lady, just baok from a vaoation, tells this one: Way baok inthe mountains of West Virginia a Presbyterian minister some time ago fell in with some people who seemed to be well fitted for the mission ary efforts on whioh he was bent. He had been riding nearly all day, and late in the afternoon oame npon a oabin set in the midst of a woodland. Near the dooijwas a spare,etraight-haired woman, who gazed at him curiously. The min ister spoke to her courteously and made some Inquiries regarding the neighbor hood. Her husband was a hnnter, the woman said. "And is he a God-fearing man?” asked the preaoher. "I reckon so,” oame the slow reply, "’cause he always takes his gnn with him ” ' The visitor hastily changed the anb- jeot and inquired if there were any Presbyterians in the neighborhood. "I dnnno," said the woman, simply; "bnt there’s a lot of skins hanging np in the cabin; yon oan look at them and see if yon oan find any.” A Sunday school organized in the same district has old men and young lads in the same elans. Wishing to test the knowledge of her soholars the teacher began by asking each one who made him. An old man at the end of the benoh didn't know, the next man didn't, and no one did until a small boy deolnred he knew, aud said "God.” "Well,” cried theold fellow first ap pealed to; "’Taint been so very long since he was made."

Promptly at the appointed hour, teachers and several hundred pupils were in their plaoes, and tho principal’s bell announced the resumption of studies laid aside for more than three months. The Academy begins the term under bright auspices. The last school year was ono of the most successful in the history os this popular institution, and with the training they have already re ceived, the pupils are prepared to make rapid progress in their studies ’ during the coming nine months. As is always the case, quite a large number of those who will be pupils failed to present themselves this morn ing, aud it will be a week or ten days before the classes present full ranks. It will take two or three days to perfect organization in all the rooms aud allow the pupils to procure their books,* but by the end of the week 'matters in the school will have adjusted themselves, aud regular work will be moving along smoothly and satisfactorily.
