back a few feet and fell unconscious to the door The negro fled Some one passing sawthe door open and heard Mr Wrenne groaning within Neighbors were at once euMtnoned The unconscious man was lifted out of pool of blood carried back and placed on a bed and Drs Wells and Crutcher were summoned The physicians found a large gash cut In the side of his bead and though the okull is not fractured they think the wounded man is inter nally injured Under their treatment Mr Wrenns soon regained ness The police were notified anti about 10 o'clock PatrolmenLooney Frasier and Conroy arrested Hutu Reynolds at WI borne on Marks street The negro was taken before Mr Wrenne and thelatter said he thought he was right man Reynolds wan locked up but no charge was placed against him as the pollee were not

walks around this building were ilret attended to This will be kept ug now till completedand when the staking and grading Is finished there wil be fences of a temporary' nature built around the walks no that the wagons and vehicle may not get off the paths and roads Everywhere Outside the roads and walks will be sown blue grata at the earliest possible mornent This will be given every chance to grow and as the fields will not be traveled it can make a gOod stand by the time it fa wanted for the purpoae of 'beautifying the grounds The trave on the roads will do good by settling them down as hard and firm as possible and when the work of putting the asphalt on ie to be begun only a alight rock foundation will be required It is the idea as has been published in "The American" st numser of time tc bare all the walkways laid in asphalt The usual meeting of the Executive Committee will not be held to-morrow 1 afternoon but will be held Friday morning at 10 o'clock in order to give the

other important business transacted The Executive Committee of the Woman's Board will meet to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock in their rooms in the Willcox Building The erection of ia History Building le now as good as a certainty The demands for an ample display relating to the history of the State grow daily and the management realize the need of making ample provision for the costly and valuable relics which will be presented There was an important conference in the office of the Director General yesterday morning on this matter at which there were present representativea of the Colonial Dames the Daughters of the American Revolution the Daughters of the Confederacy the Confederate Veterans and the Chairman of the History Section of the Arts Department There was a free interchange of opinion and It was the general idea which was sanctioned by the Director General that there should be erected a commodious History Building in which a room should be turned over to each of the interests represented as well as to others desiring quarters provided Director General Lewis proposed and it was unanimously agreed to that there should be accommodations for the Grand Army of the Republic and that this organization should be invited to take part in the history exhibit as over thirty thousand soldiers of the Federal Army were enrolled from the ranks of Tennesseans The conference was very satisfactory to all the interests participating and some of the greatest exhibits ever seen in any exposition will be put there This building will be an exposition and a museum in 'Melt The ideas advanced will be submitted to the Executive Committee for action The scene at the grounds to-day wil be made a little more lively by the beginning of work on the great Comineree Building Hughes Rives the contractors have a man in Alabama shipping them lumber as fast as It can be procured and five cars came into the grounds yesterday morning Three cars are about unloaded and the planing mill will begin this morning sawing the foundation pieces Ther the work will be pushed on with the utmost speed possible The beginning of work on the Transportation Building IS a matter of

piece of good fortune that befell but few Be was very anxious to hear Pederewskt Monday night but business prevented his attendance Last night however while Paderewskrs car was standing under the shed previous to the departure of the train or Chattanooga Mr Wrenne passed by and heard Paderewski practicing He threw his whole soul Into the work and gave a performance that unquestionably could not be equalled on the stage before the embarrassing gaze of an audience Mr 'Wrenne says he got fully worth The car windows were closed however and this doubtless explains Mr Wrenne's criticism that the fortissimo was much better than the decreaendo for a eonviction of such i grave charge and would respeetfully sulk inthename of justice that the field Boyer be rehoteed as eeon at possible Yount 'very

the prison and subsequent developments "Nashviile Tenn January 21st 1896 To Whom It May noticed some of the comments in the papers In regard to the pardon of one NV Boyer sent up from Cocke County for twenty (20) years for murder in the second degree I desire to make a statement of the facts so far as I know In regard to the papers by which Boyer received his pardon It is one of my duties as Warden to inspeet all mall coming in and going out of the prieen and I have noticed since my connection with the prison in May that Boyer has 'reeelved a number of letters from various parties in regard to securing a pardon "Several weeks ago while opening the mail I noticed a package of papers addressed to Boyer postmarked Newport Tenn and also having the city poet-mark showing when It had been received here The papers bore an official seal of Cooke County and It seemed to be regular and in good shape and when I showed then' to Mr Cox the man who assists me In reading the mall it was remarked that Boyer stood a good chaace for a pardon He had received a letter from his mother at or about the same time stating that she had open certain parties (whose names appear in the file of papers) and that they had gotten up the papers- and would mai them to him I called Boyer to the window and handed the papers to him after having carefully read them "A few days after he requested me (whieh Is not an unusual occurrence among the prisoners) to present them to the Governor for him I stated tc him I could not do so es I never took part in securing pardons for prisoners more than to make a etatement (wher requested by the Governor to do so) of a prisoner's record while in my charge "Soon afterward one Sunday afternoon a young lady who hat been hit Sunday School b-acher since his confinement bore and who is a lady of fine family and highest Chrietten charactVr came to me in the after Sunlay School and stated to me that iloyTr had requested her to present hit papers to the

Strother As Rev Frost was prevented from attending the earlier portions of the services his address "God's Work In Raising Up Missionaries" was given to Prof A Purinton Prof Purinton stated however that Rev Collier a retired missionary was present and it would be more appropriate to have an address from him Mr Collier proved an interesting and fluent speaker He gave hie experience as a missionary to China and spoke of this noble work which is being done there The next address was by Rev Rust on "The Work of the Church In Finding and Developing Missionaries Among its Members" Dr Rust satcl the instruction from the Bible was to "pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest" It is our duty to pray for that particular thing by that means only can the church find and develop missionaries among its members In the absent of Rev A Holt Rev I Van Ness spoke on "Going Abroad for God" Missionaries go abroad he said by God's own providence they have home and loved ones are virtually ostracised from all society all for Christ's 'sake How great will their reward be in Heaven Rev Frost made a few remarks relative to Miss Sale's Christian life and her approaching departure Miss Sale was then escorted to the pulpit platform by Rev I Van Ness In a few eloquent words Miss Sale thanked the congregation for their kindly interest in her She said she fully realized the magnitude of her undertaking of the heart-aches at leaving home family friends and country but not a regret has yet been experienced She asked for the prayers of the Christians in Nashville for herself but more especially for her family which she is leaving While the congregation sang the old familiar song "God Be With You Till We Meet Again" all present came forward and shook hands with Miss Sale wishing her a successful voyage and that great good be accomplished in her new geld It Will Give a Handsome Reception This Evening Joel A Battle Lodge of will celebrate the
