THE OLD SEMINARY BOYS

They Bear Marks of Age, bat Are Young Enough to Play Old-Time Games. Addresses bjEer. James Kemper, a Teacher Forty Tears Ago. Calvin Fletcher, Mrs. Moores and Others of the Old School. ' The Marion County Seminary Boys, the chool-days of eome dating back fifty or more years ago, held their ninth annual reunion at the Exposition grounds yesterday. Among tbem were many who have not passed the prime of life, but these, with their younger blood and vieor, did not enjoy with more zest the revival of pastimes now almost forgotten in these days of base-ball than the veterans. There was no rigid observance of conventional restraints to cool the ' ardor of - the old-time seminarians. It was taking one day out of the year to be boys once more, and through the welcomes and greetings old friends extended to each other, the bountiful dinner spread by the wives of the boys, the speech-making in which many took part, and the games of long ago in which the old fellows showed that they bad not lost their skill in bull-pen, shinny and town-ball, every minute was one of enjoyment. Three generations were represented among the one hundred people who enjoyed the reunion, bat the presence of none revived more stronfcly the recollections of the oldest boys than that of Rev. James S. Kemper, of South Charleston, O. lie taught in the seminary from '33 to '45, and is the only surviving teacher of an institution that was then known throughout the State. His visit to the city, with that of his two daughters, was especially timed to give him an opportunity of meeting once more his old pupils of fifty and forty years ago. - Among other visitors from a distance were Rev. A. M. Atkins, of Wabash, and Calvin Fletcher, of Spencer, accompanied by bis two daughters. Of the home people present there were Fielding Beeler, Bannibal Taffe, B. R. "Sulgrove, George W. Sloan, Frank M. Thayer, John II. Qrr, Gen. John Coburn and wife, Henry Coburn and wife, Joseph K. English and wife, Bishop Osborn, Alex Wood, George P. Anderson, Volney T. Malott, Col. Samuel Merrill, Martin Byrkert, Pleasant Griffith, Thomas Chill and wife, Rev. Wm. Sickles, Ipnatiu3 Brown, Edward E. Bassett. Benj. F. Haugh and wife, and others. Among the ladies present were Mrs. Abraham Bird, Mrs. Sol Claypool, Mrs. Jane N. Ketcham, Mrs. Eliza R. Eckert, Mrs. J. S. Spann, Mrs. Martin Igoe, Mrs. John P.Wood, Mrs. Foudray," Mrs. Julia Moores, Mrs. Eliza McReady and Miss Julia Bassett. While the boys, and their wives and friends were waiting for the dinner hour each bad some story to tell or incident to recall of a time when life had not become troubled or its happiness marred by sorrow or misfortune. The schoolboy experiences of the seminarians were like those of all boys the world over,' bat they were none the less relished in the telli ng. When dinner was ready the diners found that the ladies bad contributed a large share to the material enjoyment of the occasion. There were coffee and substantial, sweetmeats ' and delicacies to tempt the appetite and please the taste. After the cloths had been taken up all went to the south room of the Exposition building, where the speeeh-makinp, the singing and other exercises were gone through. By right of ace, bis long-time service in the institution and his presence as a guest. Rev. James S. Kemper began the series of speeches. He told of the old days, and, with great emotion,' spoke of the pleasure he bad in meeting his pupils once more. It was only saddened by the recollection that death had claimed many whose memories were held in the tenderest regard. Calvin Fletcher spoke in memory of General Ebenezer Dumont, who was the first teacher in the Seminary. That was back in 4, and tb ranks of the pupils of that year bad been thinned. Only a few remained, and fewer still were present to relate the events of that time. Miss Catherine Merrill, was to have delivered an address, but she could not come. Her sister, Mrs. Moores. took ber place on the programme and read a tribute to the memory of Mary Jane Axtell, principal of the female academy that existed with the seminary. Mrs. Moores said that Mary Jane Axtell and her sister. Harriet, left their home in Cortland, N. Y.. fifty years ago. By canal and stage coach they came to Indiana, then considered the far West, to establish a female academy. "These ladies," continued Mrs. Moores, "were beautiful, modest, cultivated and graceful. Coming here to teach, they meant to do their duty, and they did. The first building occupied by the school was on Washington street the William Sanders block. Great attention was paid to the pupils' manners. We had been allowed to leave the school-room pellmell One of the first innovations was the requiring each girl as she left bur presence to turn at the door, saying as she did so, "Good evening. Miss Axtell and young ladies.' This caused infinite amusement. It did not take much to set the girls off iu those days. Miss Axtell's nature wai a very religious one. In some things she was narrow. She thoueht all fiction immoral. Miss Axtell taught in Indianapolis ten years. Her health failed, and she went to St. Augustine, and there ended the sweet life which had been devoted to the service of others. Miss Harriet married and went to live in Vmcennes. There in a short time she died." Among the members of the association two deatbs had ocenred during the past year, one that of Wm. Sullivan, once a lecturer in the institution, and the other that of Sandford Morris, a pupil. These sad events were remembered in tbe adoption of resolutions of regret. General Coburn then spoke of the days when Wm. S. Hoi lid ay and Rev. James S. Kemper were teachers. Col. Samuel Merrill, in a pleasing address, remembered the time of Dr. Safford. Frank M. Thayer referred to the teaching and school-boy experiences under Professors Long and Hibben. but the speech of Rev. J. M. Atkinson relative to Josephus Cicero Worrell was the best of tbe afternoon. It abounded in humor and pleasing anecdote. He also referred to Mrs. Richmond and Sarah Smith. At the close of these exercises officers were elected as follows: President Col. Samuel Merrill. Vice-president B. P. Haugh. Secretary George P. Anderson. Treasurer Ignatius Brown. After a short speech from the retiring president, Henry Coburn, and tbe singing of a part-' ing song, the boys went to the grounds where, the rest of tbe afternoon was spent in playing bull pen, shinny and town ball The veterans in these games opposed the younger men, and in shinny excelled them. It was near dusk when they separated to go their several ways until the next reunion. A CAR-DKIVEK'S BRUTALITY. It Causes the Citizens' Street-Railway Cornpan j To Be Sued for $5,000 Damages. George A. Buskirk, deputy county clerk, yesterday, in behalf of his ten-year-old son, instituted a $5,000 damage suit against the Citizens' Street-railway Company for the whipping of the boy by a car-driver on Tuesday. Mr. Buskirk was on the election board in his ward all day Tuesday, and in tbe afternoon gave his son 10 cents for street-car fare, and sent him to the court-house for his mail. The boy rode down town on the car, and. after getting the mail, star.ted home on an Illinois-street car. He paid bis fare as soon as he got. on tbe car, and, after the ear had gone several squares, he - went out on the rear plat form. When the car reached Third street the driver discovered him standing on the platform, and told him to get off the car. The boy told him be bad paid his fare, but the driver said be bad not and, stopping the car, ran to the rear end with his whip and struck the poy sev eral blows across the legs that ur'-jght the blood. The assault was continued until tbe boy bad to leave the car. Several passengers saw the boy pay his fare. With the help of one of the passengers, the boy reached home and has since een confined to his bed. A Thief Test I flea Against Hie Partner. St. Paul, Oct 12.
