COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES

An Interesting Week's Programme in Trogress at the State University. Address by Ex-Senator Wright, of Iowa Preparatory School Graduates Oratorical Contest and Class Reunions. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomixgtok, June 11. The annu.il address before the alumni of Indiana University was delivered by Hon. Geo. G. Wright, of Dea Moines, la., iu the College-avenue M. E. Church at 11 o'clock this morning. Judge Wright, famed as an able and brilliant United States Senator from Iowa from 1881 to 1887, and a distinguished member of thp American bar, attracted a splendid audience. He is immensely popular here and was similarly honored by his fellows of the alumni two years ago, and also in 1S7& He was introduced by Prof. James K. Beck, aud betraa by iiing that somewhere it is writtenlhat when a man begins to write his recollectipns it is a snre indication that he is growing old. Let this bo admitted, and jet it is said to be equally true that nothing keeps the heart so fresh nor so yoongas the habit of recurring to the best days of our fellows, and especially our compeers, and forgetting the worst. I submit to tbe indication, claiming, however, the promised recompense, for I propose, in response to your invitation, for the passing hour, to recall somewhat of the past, recur to the early daj-s of thi place, .institution, and State, to speak of those who assisted in their history and upbuilding, remembering the best forgetting, if need be, tho worst. 1829 lbi lH'ty years! This way forward how long the time! Mrautes wero hours, hours days, days weeks, weeks months, months ycars. That way back how shortf ears months... months weeks, weeks days, days hours, hours minutes. Then followed a brief outline of thesalient characteristics of his seven clafismates, viz., "John A. Clement, Seth M. Levenworth, .Adam Marshall. Thdma's Wier, Francis West. Elani Wangh aud, last and least, m3'6elf." It was on a September' day, in 16S9, when theso seven young Tnen spoke their high-sounding '"pieces'' .find received their diplomas at the hands of Andrew Wylie, the lirnt president of Indiana University. Tlif) subdivisions of the instructive and eloquent address following wero, in their order: First, ''Description of the University" (or college buildings: Becond. "Literary Societies;" third, "History of Legislation" (touching the university): fourth, "Thin Locality;" rifth. "Theijtateof Indiana." While describing'the early heroes of Hooaierdom, tjie speaker delivered a handsome eulogy upon Samuel Bigger, T. A. Howard and the fourteenth President of tho United States. Jen. W. II. Harrison, and in speaking of a number of noble Hoosier families, such as the Nobles, Lowes, Wallaces. McDonalds, Ilemlricknes and Smiths, he said, "and last but not least tb Harrisons. On greatly distinguished in the military history of the Northwest; one Governor of the Territory, and fourteenth President: one ion a member of Congress, and a grandson now occupying the seat of the grandfather. the highest position in any land or nation." These heroes had helped the State University by founding a good educational system. "Haviug done so well, therefore we must do still better." The distinguished speaker closed by portraying the crying aenyuids of tho age. "This is the great demand of the age, especially in this land, the freest and most favored of earth. 'Strong minds., great hearts, true faith and ready hands. Men whom the lu.ts of office do not kill, Men whom the spoils of olttee cannot buy, Men who vossess opinions and a will. Men who have honor, men who will not lie. Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries Without winking.' " Almost one entire day was devoted to the preparatory commencement of Indiana University. There were forty-five graduates, and the performance, that began at a o'clock, did not close until 4 p. M., each of the graduates making six-minute speeches. The entire exercises were a great credit to the class, as well as tbe instructors under whose care it had been for the two years past. Three scholarships were granted as Lonops, one to Walter T. Brown, Ellettsville, one to George M. Howe. Atlanta, Ga., and one to Bessie Hewson, of Bloomington. The names of the graduates were ad follows: John T. King, Stanford; Alfred II. Guthrie, Tunnelton: Alfred H. Perring jr.. Clear Creek; Carrie Kandall. Clear Creek; Osten L. Wool ley, Vermont; Bcnj. F. Rhodes, Andrews; Elias Brewer, Messina; William A. Hollway, Colfax; Samuel 1. Gwaltney, Medway; Everett Oskins, Heilman; James W. Balnian. Bedford; -Wm. S. Sharp. Ellettsville; Charlotte S. Perring, Clear Creek; Carl 11. Cochran, Logan, Pa.: Geo. M. Howe, Atlanta, Ga.; Walter T. B rown, Ellettsville, and from Bloomington Blanche A. Lyon, NcraKirby, William D. Allen, Olive D.Jackson.

Clark, ITarry Rhorer,' Addie Perry. One of the most interesting features of tile commencement week was the oratorical contest last night. There are four literary societies in the university, and all were represented. The performance was of a very high order, all the contestants showing special ability. Colonel Robertson, Professor Swain and Rev. John L. Pitner were the judges. Charles A. Rhetts was awarded the first prize of $40, W. A. Masprtt the second prize of $20. and Walter A. Wood the third prize of $10. There were seven contestants. Two class reunions took place during this commencement. The class of 1SS4 on Sat-, nrtlay night and the class of 1S72, which was held yesterday evening. Seventeen years ago. when the class left the univenyty. there were twenty-six members, and for the third reunion ten returned to take a part: Prof. Samuel Lilly, Hon. Georgo W. Cooper, Edward Mooney. John E. Malotte, James rfale. Rev. Thomas J. Clark. Wm. E. McCord, Be,n. U:. Cravens, Prof. Robert A. Ogg. ami Minnie E. H. James. There wero no formal exercises other than tho history of tti class by Mrs. James, which was of unusual interest because it gave the whereabouts of all the twenty-six members' from the time of graduation up to the present. The" class promises to return again live 3tars hence. The class of 'S." has not failed to hold a reunion each year since graduation. This commencement is no exception. Yesterday afternoon Professcr and Mrs. Green entertained the members and their wives if they had any, Tho followimr.of tho class were present: I. C. Batman, M. M. Dunlap, E. C. Fhtcb. Mrs. (McCaughan) Russell, J. Z. McCanghan. Prof. J. E. Wiley. Miss Grace Wpodburn. Miss Minnie Brvan, L. I. Oakes an Miss Kate Pearson. There wero twenty-tivo members of the class on graduation day.

Walnut, Ind., June 11. The commencement exercises of the common schools of this township were held at this place yesterday evening. The graduates were Miss Florence Wright, Miss Carrie Shaforand Master Harvey Curtis, theatter being but twelve years old, Drobablv the youngest gradual from the common schools in Indiana. The music was furnished by a choir of select vocalists, nvith Miss Lantie Wickizer as organist. The chureh was very much crowded, and many could not gi t even standing room Largo numbers were present from Plymouth, Argos and the surrounding country. THE CLAY COUNTY COAL MEN. Concluded from First Page. missary in charge of two or three men, under the supervision of a committeeman lfke Mr. Naviu, who distribute the supplies to the needy. As lonir as the strike Lists, and relief continues this commissary will be maintained. The apportionment of the money obtained by the central committee is made upon the number of families in each district, not upon the number actually requiring assistance. Thus, one day last week, tho committeeman of a district got one-third of the monev then available $15. With his $5 he purchased liour and bacon. He parceled the Hour out in small quantities to those whom he found in need of relief. After he got through he had a little Hour and a good part of his bacon left. Miner after miner saya promptly that there is no absolute want, but that the condition pinches many and that if the strike eon-tinues starvation may stare thein in the faee if relief is not given. Starvation is therefore only contingent npon the duration of tho inactivity, and it is to get things in readiness for a long tight rather than to meet the present pressing necessities that just now leads to the method and form of ielief. The people of Brazil are becoming restive under the reports that are going out cf wide-spread starvation in their midst They resejit the idea that appeals outside of Clayx county impress the people of the country with the belief tliat there is suffering which they cannot alone alleviate. Every merchant in the town said there was no sutl'ering. "If there was," say they, "we can attend to it and would be doing so now if it existed. There cannot be such sullen ng in our county that cannot be readily relieved by home people. We have not bo far been asked to contribute, but it is true a little assistance has be asked here and there by the committee. No, the politicians who are imposing upon the strikers had a purpose in going to Indianapolis and have the representations of sutlering brought before the people. The politicians thought it would attract more attention there than elsewheroj and they have succeeded in having it paraded through the press that people are starving here. They aro not starving, and if it ever reaches that point we can provide for our own." There wero at the out sot not more than 1.800 meni nvolved in the strike. Some of them have gone out of the State and procured work. Others have gone into the bituminous mines where they get G5 cents a ton, and others still are going there, for yesterday in Cardonia a substantial-looking miner was moving his householdellects. "Where are yon going!" asked the writer. "To the bituminous mines and to work." he replied. The Brazil Block Coal Company lias a free ttain, night and morning, to Coxville, to carry all miners who will go there and work in the bituminous mines. By migration and acceptance of work in tho mines not affected by the issue, the number of strikers is being reduced, although there are many of the block-coal miners still idle, enough in fact to keep the committee of relief in existence. Yesterday it held its regular semi-weekly meeting, at which reports of the sub-committeemen were made. All of the latter we're present except those of the Sixth and Tenth districts, which a week ago reported 1,204 dependents. The other committeemen reported as follows: Ja?n- DeDtitrirts. ilies. pendent.

W. li. Roberts, private secrotary oGovernor Hovey, was present aud read a letter of inquiry from that official. He wished to know the exact condition of affairs, and if it warranted lie would issue a proclamation for relief. This was received with applause, while a statement from one of the speakers that in one of the districts themiutrs wero talking about going to work received no at tention. A vote of . thanks was tendered the Governor for the interest manifested. Mayor Ilerr, of Brazil, also attended the meeting and heard tho statement of the miners. His presence suggested m an effort for homo relief and he was appointed one of a committee of five, three citizens aud two miners, to canvass Brazil for contributions. The Mapor was appointed chairman of the committee, with discretion to appoint his two citizen associates. While Mr. Uavin reported to the committee that there were 2n) dependent families in his district, Braidwood, he told the writer there were but 1U). Perhaps he can account for tbe discrepancy. When relief is necessary, no matter to what extent, the citizens of Brazil will respond with open heart and hand. While the committee was thu 8 arranging for further assistance ex-Mine Inspector McCuade and roper-in-for Isaac P. Gray, was standing on a 6treet corner with the air of a coal baron, of whom he talks so much. He was waiting for returns from the committee, and a miner stepping up to him. was received with ail the graciousness of tho urbane politician, suggestive of tutelage under Sim Coy. The miner said something and chuckled. McOnado said some thing in reply, and chuckled. The vninertook his pipe out of his mouth, and lauched. McQuade did tbe same, with the additional exhibition of delight in heartily slapping the miner on the back. Thus the strike continues, with a probability, growing stronger from day to day, of a settlement. 'J 'hat could be done tomorrow on the 70 and 75 cents scale if tho operators would allow extra for digging low coal. But as long as the strike continues it permits Democratic politicians and the press that supports them to shout about millionaires and coal bnrons. In that connection it is worth a lino to refer to 6omo of these coal barons. The wealthiest of them can be found at tho head of tho Brazil Block Conl Company. "That companv." said a miner, "is the worst to deal with." Its president is E. E. Lawrence, of Chicago. lie made his monej in margins, invested in coal and a brewery, is worth S7.000.000, and votes the Democratic ticket. lie contributed the largest sum to the Cook county Democratic campaign committee. Roswell P. Flower, of New York, worth $10,000,(00. is another member of the company. Of course, everybody knows his politics, H. H. Porter, of Chicago, is a Republican, wealthy and retired. Slevin, of Boston, worth S20.000.000,' is also a member of th com-, pany. Andrew Crawford, of Terro Haute, and of tho Crawford Coal Company, is said to be worth 500,000. ZollerandZieg-

ler are Democrats and mine-owners. Mr. Zoller is tho wealthiest man in Clay county. George A. Knight, to whom Senator "oorhees addressed his letter of sympathy, is the attorney for the Brazil Company. He is an ardent Democrat, and helps to make up the cost of mining by exacting from tif teen cents to twenty-tivo cents a ton royalty for all coal mined by the company on his lands. v. a. "W.

A Demagogic Statement from a Political Charlatan and Pretender. Hot Springs, Ark., June 7. The Hon. George A. Knight: - My Dear Sir It has been in my mind every day for a week past to writo you in ac knowled gmont of your kind favor of May 0. and now, this momint. comes yours of the 5th inst., and breaks the spell of lazy procrastination, which usually prevails in this "bleepy Hollow." . I thank you most sincerely for your approval and words of good cheer. I had noticed, from Republican papers finding their way here, tfcat my little mite, bestowed upon men, women and children in want, had started the Pharisees and hypocrites to snarling at me, but I have seen nothing as yet from Indiana. 1 learn, however, that the Journal at Indianapolis is howling like a wolf, and that papers of like politics and less note are joiaing in the cry. I am glad of it. Their rfngry howls will only emphasize the already palpable fact that by pursuing a dishonest, inhuman, brutal and criminal policy in levying tariff taxation, the Republican p3rty has made itself responsible before God and man for the penury, want and suffering now darkeniug the homes of thousands and tens of thousands of unemployed laborers throughout every State in the Union. As to their personal abuse of me, I accept it as a compliment paid by oppressors of the poor to ono who has pricked their guilty consciences by a simple act of justice in contrast with their crimes. But instead of railing abuse, and the resurrection of old decayed lies, would it not be better for them to attempt to answer me by contributing according to their means, as I have according to mine, and also by: ceasing to plunder, cheat, deceive and swindlo the laboring men and women, not only of Clay county, but of the whole country! Their promised tariff protection does not protect the laborer, and well they know their falsehood when they tell him it does. The protection fastenedon this country by Republican legislation protects the Carnegies, and no other kind. To them it gives sumptuous palaces for their homes, gilded yachts for their pleasure-boats and European tours and presentations to royalty for their pastimes. To laborers it brings meager wages, long periods of enforced idleness, scant clothing, and often empty plates on the table. Thi is the one mighty question now before the American people, and involves all the ugly brood of monopolies and trusts, as well as all the giant evils and corruptions of the money power in politics. Nothing more dangerous ever threatened the 'liberties of any people in ancient or in modern times than the money wrunjc from labor by a dishonest system of taxation, and then nsed bv the million to corrupt, debauch and overthrow, the governing power of popular majorities. Unless the pruning knife of reform is freely nsed on the tariff aud its kindred and consequent abuses, corruptions and oppressions the American peoplo may look forward to adark ami tronuled future. On this issue I take my stand as I have in the past, without fear or favor, by the cause of labor in whose ranks I was born, whoso toils I have tasted, and the weight of whose burdens I know. I am aware that I am sometimes styled conservative on the subject of tho tariff. It is true that I am, and always have been, conservative of the rights, the homes, the comforts and the prosperity of those who live by daily toil, but as against their oppressors I am at all times and under all circumstances a radical for reform. Expecting to be at home next week and hoping to see you soon, I am. as ever, faithfully your friend, D. W. Yookiiees. Outrages on Florida Negroes. Ma maxx a, Fla., June 11. At Haywood's Landing, a few miles from this city, on Saturday night, a posse of unknown but undisguised white men went to the cabin of Noah Whitehurst, colored, and as he appeared at the door in answer to their call, n red on him with rifles. He was wonnded but sprang from the doorway and ran lor his life. A second volley, however, riddled him with bullets, and he fell dead in his tracks. The mob then went to tho house of Isaac Robinson, another negro, living near by, and not finding him home, burned his house to the ground, with its contents. Both of tho negroes bore good reputations, and no motive for the mob s work can be imagined. It is believed that the men comprising it came from Alabama. X.oses br Fire. Rochesteb, Pa., June 11. The Rochester pottery-works were burned to-night. Loss, about 25.000; insurance, $12,000. RELIEF FOR JOHNSTOWN. Additional Contributions Received Yesterday from Miscellaneous Sources.

BUTLER'S COMMENCEMENT WEEK. Tythonian Society's Exhibition The Directors Eeconiiaeud Extensive Improvements. In the college chap el at Irvington, last night, the Pythouian Literary Society held its thirty-third annual exhibition. The society is by one year only younger than its ancient rival, tho M athesian, and has for a long time been one of the very strongest of Butler's numerous literary organizations. The music, by Arbuckle's orchestra, and the literary efforts of the young Pythonians were received with all the enthusiasm and tireless applause that college audiences know so well how to bestow. Mr. B. Marshall Davis. '00, presided over the exercises of the evening. Mr. Charles L. De Haas, ?91, spoke of "Luther in the Reformation." Mr. J. D. Nichols, '90, chose for his theme "The Development of Individual Liberty." Mr. Fred Hitter, 'Ol, portrayed in his essay "The Future of American Literature." Mr. Emerson W. Matthews, '91. declaimed "The Execution of Montrose," and Mr. Luther Thompson, M3, recited a protest against "Unjust National Acquisition." Edgar L. Maine3, presented a diploma to Mr. Troussean Dailey, the society's grad-' uate, with the usual ribbons and speech. This morning, at 10 o'clock, the younsr ladies of the Demia Butler society will have the floor, and tho Philokurians will wake the ochoes to-night.

M.; tbe alumni reunion, at 7r. m. at Miss Noble's, and Professor Butler's reception, at 8 P. M.

During the afternoon the board of directors held its annual meeting. There was a full attendance, and manv important matters were brought up. The degree of A. B. was conferred on Miss Jennie E.Armstrong, of Kokomo, and Mr. William F. Koss.of Irvington. B. S. was given to H. Edwin Frazier, of Irvington. and Will G. Irwin, of Columbus.

CCTJJXGS FROM THE COURTS. ' Mr. Catterson Makes a Statement Notes of Litigation New Suit Filed. Referring to the suit recently brought by J.T.WTilliams against Scott Catterson and H. llerriman, Mr. Catterson states that he has always been willing to pay Williams what was rightfully due ifim; but as there was a controversy as to the amount and quality of the lumber involved, he would only settle for what ho received. He also states that the car indisputewasouly half loaded, and that with the cleauings of some old mill-yard. And further, that the suit was brought with charges of fraud in order to force him into paying the claim, as Williams had it. .The case was settled yesterday at Catterson's offer $75 and costs.
