A Chicago telegram says: “The fact that the high-license bill is almost certain to become a law in this State is the general topic of conversation to-night. There are about 4,000 saloons in this city, paying $52 each per year, or about $200,000. It is estimated that the number will be decreased to 3.000 under the new law, yielding a revenue to the city of $1,500,000. From a senes of interviews among parties interested the following is found to be the prevailing opinion: The Citizens’ Temperance League rejoices, and will celebrate by a mass-meeting. The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union views the bill with dislike and suspicion, as a scheme of the rumsellers to prolong the life of their traffic. The leading liquor-dealers will accept the situation and will not contest the constitutionality of the law if passed by the Senate, admitting that it cannot be successfully attacked.” Uon. Johc 11.

END OF THE COLLEGE YEAR The State University Expects a Season of Unusual Interest. A Large Attendance of Alumni and Friends —Programme of the Coming Week at Wabash. INDIANA UNIVERSITY. Tlie Opening Exercises of the Week at Bloomington. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomington, June 8. — The commencement season, just begun here, has been looked forward to by the old students and friends of the State University, as exceptional. The liberal endowment of the University by the late Legislature, which assures it permanence and a larger future, has awakened an unprecedented interest among the alumni in their alma mater. Asa consequence there will be a larger attendance of old students and visiting friends at this commencement than ever before in the history of the institution. Hon. John W. Foster, Minister to the court of Madrid, has written a very earnest letter to his brother alumni, urging their attendance at the approaching alumni conference on next Tuesday. Many prominent alumni will be apt to be present to give their encouragement and counsel in the commencement of anew era in the work of our State University. Alumni day, next Tuesday, and alumni dinner on Wednesday, will be the occasions of great interest and importance. Examination of college classes closes on Thursday afternoon. The work done throughout the year has been of a high order, and the University closes an eminently successful year. The board of trustees are now in session. Their action will be of unusual interest. as plans for the future of the University are under consideration. The Scientific Association, composed of those who are engaged in special scientific work, gave its first aunual entertainment on Thursday night. This is anew feature # in the commencement exercises. This performance was unique among college exhibitions. It was not simply an exhibition for show, but a serious and successful attempt to represent the work done in the various scientific laboratories. After the scientific papers, Mr. C. L. Goodwin gave a graphic account of the late senior tramp to Cumberland Gap and Mammoth Cave. The following is the programme: “Mazurka do Kew” Bckuloff Mrs. Augustus Armamiac. The Fermenta-F. W. Cook, jr., Evansville, Ind. Evolution or the Vertebrates—G. B. Kaln, Bellfontaine, O. “Playful Rockets”—Cook Bros., Evansville. Ind. Methods ot l'eaohiug Chemistry— Lizzie Long. Columbus, Ind. The Senior Trump—C. L. Goodwin, Bowling Green, Ky. The valedictory exercises of the three societies were attended by an immense audience to-night. This, usually one of the most attractive of the exercises of the week, was especially so this evening. The following programme afforded a literary entertainment of unusual interest: Philomathean Valedictory —“Selfish Environments,” J. R. Becket; respondent, Scott Stevenson. Hesperian Valedictory—‘‘Lucretia Mott,” Fannie L. Swain; respondent, Kate Snyder. Athenian Valedictory—“ Equality,” Will J. Bryan; respondent. A. M. Adams. Mr. Bryan’s speech, on the subject of “Equality,” on this occasion, was one of high literary merit. The strict attention of the andience indicated the deepest interest and sympathy with what he had to say. His strong hits on the growth of an American aristocracy: his plea for the extinction of race prejudice; his glowing tribute to Charles Sumner and John Brown; his thoughtful discussion of the rights of the individual elicited the warm approval and applause of his audience. Mr. Bryan is a natural speaker, and he gave the andience, to-night, one of the best college orations it has ever been our pleasure to listen to. “To-morrow night will occur a reunion of the class of ’7B; Sunday afternoon the baccalaureate of President Moss; Sunday night, an address before the university Y. M. C. A., by President White, of Purdue; Monday night, annual address before the society by Mr. James Whitcomb Riley, of Indianapolis; Tuesday night, the annual address before the alumni by Dr. Auderson M. Wylie, of Newton, Pa. SOCIAL. The social life of Bloomington Is one of S1 chief attractions. The happenings in society attracting attention are more numerous than usual, and especially inviting to those who enjoy the gayetv and excitement of social life. The members of the Sigma Chi fraternity, with their ladies, were entertained by a banquet, on Wednesday evening of this week, at tne residence of Hon. 11. C. Duncan, on West Fifth street. The Sigma Chi is one of our strongest college fraternities. Their banquet, on Wednesday evening, was one of the most fashionable and pleasant of social entertainments, as it was sure to be, under the management of their host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Duncan. The most important society event of the college year was the reception given last night by Dr. J. D. and Mrs. Maxwell to their son. Dr. Allison Maxwell and bride (nee Routh). of Indianapolis. More than a hundred guests were present at the Maxwell country residence, in the suburbs of Bloominton, to pay their respects to one of Bloomington’s most popular boys and his fair bride. Though the occasion was one of eclat, the fashion and elite of our little city being present, yet formality and style did not interfere with the real social pleasure of the evening. The young couple have a host of friedds here who wish them happiness. Rev. T. B. Stewart, pastor of the Second United Presbyterian Church, in |San Francisco, Cal., was married, last evening, to Miss Sal Lie Wylie, at the residence of the bride’s father. Captain Mack Wylie, two miles south of Bloomington. Only a few friends of the bride and groom witnessed the ceremony. Miss Wylie is most favorably known in Bloomington. Mr. Stewart, late of Richland. Kush county, is one of the rising young ministers in his church. They will go, immediately after commencement, to their field of labor in San Francisco. Hon. J. E. Henley, our prosecuting attor-ney-elect, and sister, Miss Laura Henley, entertained a large number of invited friends at their home this evening, after the valedictory exercises. The royal yet easy manner with which Mr. and Mias Henley are so capable of entertaining, made this one of the most enjoyable social evenings, as your correspondent can testify, that Bloomington has seen for a long time. The junior class—the class of 'B4—has introduced anew feature in our college life. At the time of year when the juniors make it a point to Interfere with everything the seniors attempt, and the senior party aud

serenade are interrupted by the college rowdyism of the juniors, and fights and bitter rivalry are in the order of proceedings—this year the sensible juniors sent a polite invitation to the seniors to partake with them of their class banquet. The juniors are entertaining the seniors to-night, at the residence of Professor Atwater, with a most elegant supper, and the heartiest good cheer and tie best of spirits prevail. WABASH COLLEGE.

VENGEANCE OF THE MOB. The Barber Outlaws Transferred from Independence to Waverly, Where a Mob Breaks Open the Jail and Hangs the Men to a Tree—Other Criminal News. THE BAKBF.R OUTLAWS. Their Transfer to Waverly, and Speedy Death at the Hands of a Mob. Dubuque, la., June B.—A telegram rora Waverly says that the Barber boys were returned to jail, at that place, to-day, from Independence, where they had been taken for safety. At 11 o’clock to-night a mob attacked the jail with crow-bars, pickaxes and other weapons. A half hour later they succeeded in effecting an entrance, took the boys out and hung them to a tree, half a mile east of the jail. The mob was composed of men from Fayette county and was led by a brother of the man Shepherd, whom the Barbers killed last fall at West Union. The sheriff refused to gite up the keys, and the mob battered down the doors with a sledge-hammer. After a delay inside, they brought the criminals out with ropes around their necks. The boys did not flinch a particle, and did not even plead for mercy during the whole ordeal. [Fora detailed account of some of the events leading to this lynching, and a brief sketch of some of the crimes ot the Barbers, see ninth page of this paper.] CRIME IN GENERAL. A Boy’s Reason For Committing Arson Was That He Wanted Rest. Cincinnati, June B.—John Bittner, jr., fifteen years old,is on trial before Mayor Lord, of Riverside, for arson, being charged with burning the Debus Cooperage-works in April, 1882, entailing a loss of over SIOO,OOO.

St. Lou is, June B.—lnformation received from Collinsville, 111., is that the striking miners who were expected to arrive there sometime last night or early this morning have not yet turned up and all is quiet there. Inquiry of Belleville, Pickneyville, and other places in the raining districts, fails to reveal the presence of the strikers, and there is no information at any of these points of any band or body of men moving about the country.

Portland, Me., June 8. —Eliphalet Clark, the oldest homoeopathic physician iu Maine, died this morning, aged eighty-two. He was the founder, with Dr. Gray, of New York, of the American Institute of Homoeopathy. AN ANCIENT CITY. Nottingham, with Its Laces and History— A Thousand Years Before Christ. K. P. Porter, in New York Tribune. Nottingham was a town a thousand years before Christ. The old city was known by the rough British name “Tiggocobawc.” The son of Alfred the Great has been credited with founding Nottingham, but antiquarians now say that he founded half of it, uniting the ancient city of the unpronounceable name by a bridge with the new city he had formed. He fouuded what some have called an opposition city, partly military, partly commercial, to awe and to stimulate. This he did at Nottingham. He settled as many Danes as Saxons. “Enemies,” saj's Dr. Doran, “then became friends; we cannot doubt that the old people entered into partnership, and the young people followed the example of their parents. The shy Olga learned to raise her soft blue eyes in trusting love upon the straight-limbed Saxon Edwv; and on the broad chest of the Danish Sciold lay the fair head of his young wife Ethelfleda, ‘like Hebe in Hercules’s arms!’” Os such ancestry (with a cross of wholesome pagan blood) comes the present Nottinghamshire race. Unlike the cities which formed the topics of my last letters (Coventry and Worcester), Nottingham was never stormed and taken by an invading army. It came nearest to it when the thrifty Y orkshire royalists, not caring about making those “clothing towns” the seat of war. persuaded Charles I to go to Nottingham and hoist the royal standard. But it was a stormy day and the wind blew the standard down,and when, after a few day’s, it was finally set up again, no one paid much attention to it. To use the words of Clarendon: “There appeared no conflux of men in obedience to the proclamation; the arms and ammunition were not yet come from York; a general sadness covered the whole town, and the King himself appeared more melancholic than he used to be.” But Charles soon left it, I have no doubt to the great jov of the inhabitants, and tlie Parliament kept possession of the town and the castle till the close of the war. The castle long before the days of the Stuarts, had acquired a gloomy preeminence on account of the procession of royal murderers, who. in some way or other, were connected with it. It was originally built by an illegitimate son of William the Conqueror. Poor Edward II held a great feast within its gray walls, drank wine and laughed at the jests of his subsequent murdeiers. Ilis wife, the light Lady Isabella, with Mortimer, fled into this stronghold, and for a time defied Edward 111. The Queen, it is said, ridiculed their efforts, and slept soundly, with the keys of the castle under her pillow. The young King for a time was obliged to bite his lips and kick his heels in the market-place below, w hile his mother looked down from the high parapets of the castle with scorn upon her enemies. But through treachery admission was obtained, and while Mortimer was hurried off to London to adorn a gibbet, the Queen was taken to prison, where she ended her days. Again, I have no doubt, Nottingham rejoiced, for royalty rarely visited the town but to perpetrate or plot some crime. In Nottingham Castle Richard II planned the murder of his uncle, the Duke of Gloucester, and for this deed Kent, Rutland, Huntingdon and Somerset won their steps to the peerage, while Thomas Mowbray, for superintending the affair, w r as raised to the rank of Duke of Norfolk. Many distinguished prisoners have been reduced to skeletons in the dark, damp cells of Nottingham Castle, and this reminds me that when the grandfather of this Richard 11, Edward 111, was old, “a year or two only before his death when Alice Ferrer was as saucy and imperious as even the Du Barry was with Louis XV and his people, there was carried through Nottingham, up to the castle, a prisoner at whom the citizens stared in respectful wonder; but they felt much indignation at the woman who w’as the cause of his captivity. For a stern word uttered to this Alice Petrus de la Marc, Speaker of the House of Commons, or holding an office equivalent to that called so now, was thrown into the keep at Nottingham Castle, where he lingered a couple of years.” But I had almost forgotten a memorable event in the history of Nottingham, which took place In 1485, when, no doubt, the magnificent market place (the largest in the kingdom) was “alive, trembling or rejoicing,” at the mustering hosts Richard 111 had called there just before the fatal battle of Bosworth Field. The Silver Boar, it is said, sparkled on the banners. The gazers, at his passage through the streets, flung up their caps, or held their voices mute, according as their judgments, caprices or impulses prompted them. I have no doubt, as when Charles I left the town, the good people of ancient “Tiggocobawc” breathed freer and in their secret hearts rejoiced. The Nottingham folk have always been noted for their capacity to enjoy good beer, and centuries ago the town was noted for its ale. In olden times the jolly laborers “after dinner 3at and drank, with liberty to leave the hall three times and return as often to drink as much as they could carry under their girdles.” And then, in joyous procession, they were allowed to carry away a bucket containing eight flagons of beer. The Nottingham municipal corporation, noted for its hospitality to guests, never feasted itself, and in this was exactly opposite to the neighboring city of Worcester, After the ceremonies inaugurating the new mayor came a frugal banquet, in which bread and cheese satisfied the appetite, and pipes and tobacco were added as luxuries. Nothing is said about fine old ale. Nottingham to-day has more than a thousand public houses and beer-shops, and at night they arc crowded. A recent city official said to me: “Nottingham has the reputation of being the most drunken city in the Kingdom.” While I think this rather a strong statement. I must admit j-hat a tremendous amount of heavy beer drinking is going on, not only among the men but the women and even girls. There were about 1,300 convictions last year for drunkenness, against 264 convictions in Bradford, a larger town, but contained less than half the number of drinking shops. Nottingham, to-day, is gay, the spacious market-place at night is thronged, the bril-liantly-illuminated gin palaces glare without as the glasses clink within. Music issues forth from half a hundred concert-places chorused with peals of laughter; money is being earned and spent. Let us hope the good times will continue There are few more interesting places in England than the line old town I have attempted to describe. Its narrow, winding hills only mounted by steps, the long, zigzag courts, with butting gabled houses, all bespeak its antiquity. In the low quarters of the place filth, squalor and poverty abound more than in Bradford, Derby or Leicester. But for all this the beautiful meadows which surround the old town are already clothed in their wonted rich greeu, and are “converted into a teeming lake

of violet crocuses.” There indeed may the Nottingham lass find “a charm for the eye and a charm for the ear in the songs of the birds that hang enchanted above the magic carpet.” It is truly said that Nottingham is Flower Town, the English Florence, for young and old go forth to collect and carry away the precious treasures of the fields, and all return laden with sweets to the town, joyous beneath their double burden and rich in the twofold fragrance of youth and of flowers.
