Yesterday was some what of a busy
day with Superintendent Ballard, of
file public schools, and during the day
ii- fit roiled many m .-. pupils for the

to apply for admission cards to the
schools and they liegail to come early
and continued for several hours.
While u is known that the schools
will be wed crowded this year, it is
thought and hoped that there will he
room lor ail. The schools will be
crowded owing to the fact that toe
old academy building will not be use,,
this year, and these eaiidren of the

placed in .the brick building. However
it is thought that they will ati he ac
commodated.

"Wo have seen evils brought about

BRUNSV/ICKIAN IN TROUBLE.
I. Borochoff Leaves His Family In At
lanta In Dire Distress.
flit' following from the Atlanta Con
stitufion of yesterday will be of in
i crest here;
i. Borochoff, of 140 Peters street,
mysteriously disappeared from bis
home Saturday morning, and the po
lice. were notified yesterday to look
out for him.
M r Borochoff is a prosperous mer
chant tailor of that section of the
city and hi wife can offer no explana
tion for iii disappearance. He left
homo Saturday morning to go to his
i father's on Butler street. He reached
j nis father’s ond when ne left there
lie was going to return home.
About 11 o’ clock he telephoned his
wife that he would be home in a few
minutes. Since then ho has not been
heard from, and has not been seen by
anyone who knows him.
His wife when seen yesterday was
wild with fear and grief over his mys
terious disappearance She stated
that her husband did not drink, and
that he was not in any way alilicted.
;ne said he was a devoted and
loving husband and father, and that
his domestic life was as happy as
could be.
Mrs. Borochoff said that they had
he. u married twelve years, and that
during the time there had never so
much ns a cross word passed between
her and her husband, lie had. she
said, always been industrious and had
provided a good support for her and
their four children.
•As it Happened, when he left home
be did not leave any money with his
wife, so she is at a loss to know what
to do to support herself and the chil
dren. all of whom are very small, the
oldest being only 9 years old.
If is believed by friends that there
has been foul play with the man, as
lie has never before been known to
leave home without a pretex.
It is believed that if nothing has
happened to him he will leave for New
York and instructions have been giv
en by Chief Ball to watch all the north
bound trains.
T. Borochoff is described as being
about 35 years old, medium size, black
hair and eyes, heavy mustache, dark
complexion, soft black felt hat, red
striped shirt, and black sack.
Borochoff once lived in Brunswick
and left here leaving many debts be
hind.
Work Resumed.
Contractor Bowen yesterday resum
de work on the Catholic convent on
1 Richmond street. A largo force of
, hands were put to work on the liand-
some structure and it will now be
rushed to completion.
