LAST SATURDAY NIGHT TWO OF NASHVILLE'S ACCREDITED PO LICEMEN, WITH TWO OUTSIDE PALS, ASSAULT A WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN OUT ON THE SAD ER RAND TO GET ASSISTANCE TO HELP WITH HIS DEAD WIFE. On Inst Raturdav nteht two police men and two civilians committed one of the most, cowardly assaults ever heard of in the history of Nashville Mr. Frank Mills, who lives at 180fi Jeff fcrson street, was out at a late hour on a very sad mission. Mr. Mills' wife d'ed about midnight, and as there wpvp onlv a fpw friends present, he was compelled to go out for assist nnce. There was no one he could send, all of the friends present being ladles. Mr. Mills had been to the nlice and was returning home. "When he was near the Jubilee Hall yard Tate on Jefferson street he saw four men break across the street toward hlpi TTf was nlrondv mrnprvprt ovpr the erent oss he hafl Slistained, and was in no mood to receive another great shock. When he saw the men rushing toward him he called to them to stop. He least suspected that two of them w"ere officers, for they had their coats off and were lounging around on the curbstone. Their ap- pearance led Mr. Mills to believe that he was about to be attacked by a gang of cutthroats. He had nothing to pro tect himself with save- a little old broken knife that would be harmless to a three-year-old boy. On they came rushing upon the man already stridden, and now before he can ar range to bury his dead wife he must be possibly murdered himself. But he kept cool. He called out to the in tnulers: "Who are you?" and to his neat surprise the response was, "We I n I'O (pomon " Tint 4 Vi mr nrara no i-....... v. n.j ;ui ijuntenit'n. j wo or me men were not Oft pors for ono of tho not onicers, ror one or tne the officers was only reef ' cnargeci nom tne me flepai insubordination.

TENNESSEE SCHOOL BLIND. FOR THE The State of Tennessee may not be contributing an equal share of the school funds to the educating of the Negro youth blessed with health, strength and with good sight, but cer tainly she has deported herself admir ably in her care for the poor unfortu nate blind children. The Colored De partment of the Tennessee School for the Blind located in South Nashville on Tennessee street, is an example of the care the thoueht and the affec tions with which the state, through its officers, is looking after these children. Not much attention, however, is paid uy rne parents oi sue a cmiaren, ana especially has it been noted that few of them are interested in those seem insly neglected ones that nature has tied to them by family connections. The colored department of this school has been established for more than a quarter of a century. In fact, Mrs. S. M. Lowe, the present principal, has been at work in this department for twenty-seven years. She has travelled extensively. Hardly a summer passes but that she spends it or a part of It in different parts of the state, pre sumably for rest, yet it is not known that she ever ceased from her untiring labors In the interest of these unfor- innate little ones. At present she is in the evtveme eastern portion of the state looking for a little recreation and at the same time thinking and ,M ?Ty e0crt nt school. Tt is hoped that every parent within the borders of this great Vol- ctofo if tw vo n rhnH toti. Iv or partially blind, will make an ap Mill.'

It is not known at this writing whether an addition to this number will be made for the term or not. At any rate the present prin cinal and matron will not lose their iptevest. and the children will be fav ored with the same, if not increased number of instructors, and at the same time receive the benefits of all improvements that are being made from time to time along this line.
