Show IVo Negro Institute for Them. New York, November 18. Herald special from Quitman, Georgia: A building used as a colored female seminary in this town was destroyed by fire at 1 o'clock this morning. Several months ago the Northern Methodists purchased the building. It was situated in the most desirable part of town. The citizens citi-zens objected strongly to the location of a negro institute on the site, and every effort was made to effect an agreement which would change the location. Soon after the opening of the school an unsuccessful attempt at-tempt was made to assassinate the principal. Two lives were lost by last night's fire. Its origin was a mystery. |
