HOW TIIE WHIP IS APPLIED

Refractory Boys at the Reform School Sometimes Given Several Lashes. The Sjstem of Tanishment "ot Unnecessarily Severe Governor Hovey Thinks the Institutiou Is Under Good Management. .Governor Hovey went to the Reform School at Plaiuficid, Wednesday afternoon, and remaining over night, looked through that institution yesterday. Recently there have been several complaints of excessive punishment given to hoys, the last case boInsc that of Georgo Haines, sent to the school Irom this city. No special investigation of it was made, the Governor evideutly not deeming it necessary. "I have looked over the place," said the Governor to the reporter, when the latter met him at the institution, "and find everything satisfactory. 2 feel proud of tho school, which is well adapted to the class of boys sent there. I tlo not think there is ( anything more in tho way of punishment than there should be. I saw the boys at Bupper and at breakfast. They had good food and plenty of it, and they seemed contented. The entertainment given by them last night I enjoyed very much. The bright boys of the State are there. They are not to be regarded as criminals. Doubtless, tne offenses of many of them are to be attributed to the way in which they have "been reared; largely a matter of their surroundings and many of them are orphans. it is a reformatory and a good school in the English branches. They are at work, learninglittle trades, brick-making, brick-laying, fihoemaking, gardening and other things of like character. If the fathers of some who are there had been whipped themselves it "would have been better for their offspring. The punishment is falling on the wrong generation. However, I regard the corporal punishment there as all right." "In reference to the punishment of that boy Haines. I was abf nt at the time," said Superintendent Charlton, "but if I had been at home I would have granted the same permit for the whipping. When 1 naw the boy I had him stripped. There was no evidence of undue punishment. Mr. l.atta, the otlicer who punished bini, is one vf our most judicious oilicers." "What punishments are used here!" inquired the reporter. "We have but one," said Mr. Charlton, "outside of markings, which prolong their May, and the deprivation of privileges, such lis keeping them from play. These aro for tmall otteuses. The only other is corporal punishment, with a small, round, sewingmachine strap." This strap was handed to tho reporter for examination. It is a tmarter of an inch in diameter, and when doubled makes a sort of cat-'o-two-tails. It is not formidable, but looks as if in the hands of a man entirely great it might be juade cllective. "I selected it instead of switches." the superintendent continued. Switches mako marks, no matter how carefully the knots are trimmed oil. I really thirfk this strap is harder on the oQicer who applies it than on the otlender who receives it. This matter of punishments has been discussed in our xeform-fichool conventions. I have shown this strap there, and it received approval as one of the best things, better than rattan. Every otlicer who administers a punishment has to get a permit to do so from tue." ' "Do yon ever lock tho boys up as a punishment!" "No. sir; we have no place in which to lock them up." I)o yon change theirdiotl" "The bread-aud-water line was broken tip years ago." Judge Jordan, one of tho trustees, who, rith Captain Vanarsdel and Li, A. Barnett, "Wll the other trustees, were present, at this point said: "1 stopped that myself years ago. I want credit for that, it used to he that -boys with had reIorts when they marched to the dinincroom, ; instead of being allowed to go into the dining-room, were sent into the collar to feed ou bread and water. "We feed such boys." said Superintendent Charlton, "tho samo as the others. Another case of severe corporal punishment mentioned in the papers was that of young Hwisher, who is now in the northern prison. Ho escaped, and was given, it was charged, lifty lashes with the machine strap. Ho did not receive that punishment, but before that time he was punished, and admitted that ho deserved it. He was sent to tho school on a commutation of sentence, and after his escape, being captured with stolen property in his possession, was sent to prison to servo out his original sentence. "How many lashes aro jriveuf" The number varies the average heing ten or twelve. The worst case 1 riave ever granted a permit for was thirty, and that was reduced." "What aro the worst cases!" "Attacks upon officers and escapes. Another case cited is that of Weathers, who claimed to have had a whipping that threw Lim into convulsions. He had an infirmity, and as a matter of fact, he never was punashed at all" "How and when aro these punishments administered?" . "In the building whero the offender lives; in his family building; never outside the iresence of tho family of boys who aro with dm. from forty to fifty in number." "Why before so many!" "We do not administer private punishment. We desire witnesses for the reason that, should an otlicer go beyond the permit, he will be reported. The permit system was adopted to control tho punishments. We once had an officer who punished too much. This school has scut out into the world 2,400 boys, 1,00 of theso in my time. Had there been much or unusual punishment surely more would have bceu heard about. Tho post master at Plainii.ld, who is hostile to ns, brought a general complaint against tho institution." "What is the character of that witness?" "He is now under a suspended sentence in the United States Court for embezzlement of tho funds of his ollicc. As to punIshments, there is not a boy in tho institution who would not profer corporal punishment to anything that would alloc t his standing and delay his discharge." There is no attempt to conceal anything sit the Reform School, and the reporter was readily granted a private talk with the boy Haines. He is twelve years old, a nervous little fellow, and what probably would not be over-punishment for another boy of a different temperament would prove quite severe in his case. He thought ho had been unjustly punished for breaKing a rule when new to the place and unfamiliar with the regulations. He said that great welts did appear over his body, and he thought he had been cruelly treated. Superintendent Charlton has placed tho bov in another family. He is now better informed as to the boy's condition, and as he will get better nourishment than ho had in his own home, he will improve physically, and be better able to sustain a whipping when next he may deserve one. CtTiLIXGS FKOMJTIIE COURTS. rilerkamp Charged with Inducing a Woman to Get Money for Him from a Man. Chris Ellcrkamp, who has a saloon at the corner of Dillon and Prospect streets, and Lillio Stout, No. 27 Prospect street, were arrested Wednesday night on a charge of petit larceny, it being claimed that they had robbed Alfred Martin of $3. When the case was brought before the Mayor, yesterday, the girl was discharged, but sufficient evidence appeared agaiiut Kllerkamp to warrant his being bonnd over to the grand jury on a charge of grand larceny. Tho testimony of the girl showed that Ellerkamp had attempted to induce her to become a part in a scheme to get money from Martin, who owed Kllerkamp a small amount. A Claim for a Large Amount. A claim for $13,000 was tiled by the Columtus and Hocking Coal and Iron Company against the Chicago fc Atlantic railroad Jesterday afternoon in the United States Court. The claim is a coal supply accouut. Hannah 31. Dkkion't Guardian. James C. Dickson was yesterday appointed guardian of Hannah M. Dickson, whose property is valued at $x,0CXJ. Speedily Adjusted.

Barlow's grove, one and one-half mile from Plaintield, this being their sixth annual meeting. There was ;i large attendance and the meeting was a most pleasant one. Among the old settlers present were David F. Cox, aged eightytwo; Harris Almond, eighty; Samuel Little, seventy-nine; Elijah Osborne, sixt3-eight; Cornelius Veatch, seventy-seven; John Hardin, sixty-six; Henry Holdcrmaji, seventy-one; T. H. Barlow, sixty-nine; Jonathan Tomlinson, fifty-four; Barney Fox, sixty-seven; Isaiah Hornaday, sixtyeight; Amos D. McCormick, seventy; Wm. T. Fawcett, sixty-two; Wm. Tincher, sixtyfour; Obed II. Dennis, sixty-one; Charles W. Stewart, sixty-two; Willis II. Wilhite, sixty-five; John M. Carter, fifty-eight; Walker Caviness, sixty-live; Amos Alderson, sixty-four. Amos D. McCormick claims to be tho oldest living person born in Indianapolis. Governor Hovey, who came over from Plainfield at 10 o'clock, was introduced by Hon. L. M. Campbell in a witty speech. The Governor spoke briefly, but iu a very clever vein. As a native Hoosier, born iu Posey county in the 3-ear he claimed to be one of tho oldest ot old settlers, and had come of a long-lived race, his grandfather living to be 107 and his father eight-0110 years old. He referred to the rough sports of the early times, and how he, as a boy, had climbed on top of a blacksmith-shop and saw fifteen lights in progress at the same time. He Epoke of the lighting mettle of that day, and of the swaggerer who, at a gathering of tho pioneers, went about saying. l'm a mean man and a b-a-d man. and 1 orter. be licked but whar's the man kiu do it!" As the (iovernor finished his speech, the ever-present photographer took him and his audience, in the twinkling of an eye, from the top of a neighboring shed. The speeches that followed were by Judge Lewis Jordan, Capt. Van Arsdel nd a number of the old settlers. A glee club of sixteen boys from the Reform School stoig a number of songs, patriotic, sentimental and comic, among which were 'Blessed is the Nation Whose God is tho Lord." "The Old Wooden Kocker," and one with the refrain: God's g'wine to 'liver up Dan-u-el; Why not 'liver up inel" One droll song that captured the audience, it being received with long-continued laughter and applause, was: Oh, de fust news yon know day '11 be breaking, llev oh, hey oh, up an' down de baniro. Fire be a burnin' an' de ash-cake a bakin'. Hey oh, hey oh, Miss 'Cinda Ann. Tho Governor left on the noon train for French Lick Springs. Jeffeksonville, Ind., July 13, 1S80.

A cTAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Demoralising Rate War Threatened. CniCAGO. Aug. 1. The Times, to-morrow, will say: There is danger that the cut in passenger rates inaugurated by the Panhandle road will spread over much more territory than it now occupies. The Ohio, Indiana & Western makes the threat that, if these rates are not soon restored, it will

adopt rates between Indianapolis and all Western points on a bais to correspond with tho Pennsylvania's Chicago rate. Such a steD wilL in fact, be necessary for "The protection of the interests of the road, and, beyond a doubt, the Ohio & Mississippi, and all the lines leading westward from Cincinnati, Louisville, and Indianapolis will be forced to the necessity of taking similar action. If the ball is set rolling in that direction there is no telling where it will stop. Passenger rates Vill be so demoralized that the Chicago west-bound roads wiU find it difficult to keep out of the light The threatened reduction by the Ohio, Indiana & Western will cut the rate via Peora to points competitive with the Chicago lines, and may lead to a general pulling down of rates in all directions, unless measues are speedily taken to check the spread of the epidemic. Although it is claimed that the scalping of mileage tickets is at the bottom of the trouble, it is generally believed that this outbreak is in reality a part of the boycott scheme inaugurated by the Pennsylvania and Lonisville fc Nashville against the Monnn otiA tli OMn Ar. M aniiTini oil account of the failureof the last-named roads to use the Louisville bridge. The Louisville & Nashville has ordered all its agents to dis continue the sale of tickets over the jMonon.

At present the trains of the L. &N. run into the Panhandle station. Under the proposed new arrangement they will arrive at and depart from the Central Union Passenger fetation. The C. II. &. D.Niagara excursion proved to bo a record-breaker. The total number of cars, includine sleepers, chair-cars and coaches, embraced iu tho several sections that passed through Dayton was eighty, and the number of passengers was 2,100, This is nearly double the number of cars handled by tho company in its Niagara ex cursiou of last year. Johu Ewan. superintendent of tho Indi anapolis division of the Uig Four, has mado tho following appointments, taking ellect yesterday: H. 1). roock. a cent at Ander son, Ind., vice I. N.

Hoover, agent at Bellefoutaiue, O., vice L. C. fecarll, resigned. Chairman Walker, of the Interstatecommerce Uailway Association, has issued a circular giving his opinion as to the legality of the tariff published by the Chi cago iV Alton railroad, making through rates from points in Kansas to Chicago on live stock snipped over the IJock Island to Kansas titv and over its own line from that point to Chicago. Air. Walker linds that the taritf is illegal, and will appeal to the Interstatc-commerco Commission for action. Suits were filed, yesterday, at Greencastle, against the Vandalia. tho Louisville. New Albany &. Chicago, the Indianapolis & St Louis branch of the Big Four, and tho Indianapolis. Decatur Cc estern. claiming damages for failure to comply with tho law passed by tho last Legislature. requiring railroads operating in the Stato to post at everv station a bulletin announcing the time of arrival of each train. The complaint sets forth that the abovo named roads have for a period of thirty days failed to comply with the provisions of the law. Should damages bo recovered thev will amount to a very considerable sum about S&VWO in the aggregate. The Vandalia has live stations in Putnam couuty, and eight passenger trains daily. The passago of eacn train at eacn station where no bulletin is posted constitutes a separate offense. The Wabash yardmaster at Toledo, on Wednesday, refused to switch any cars to or from the tracks of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City road. The latter road is be ginning to receive heavy shipments of new grain along its line, most of which has been shipped to the Wabash elevators, and it is the opinion that the abash took advan tage of this fact to make the shut-out more telling. Division Freight Agent Osborn, of tho Y abash, said they would not switch any of the Kansas City cars into their coaldocks or lumber-yards to secure business that properly belonged to the VS abash. Ho also intimated that tho KansasCity officials had cut both grain and coal rates. Presi dent Calloway, of the T.. St. L. & K. C. said he knew nothing about tho matter; it was General Freight Agent v eed's duty to make rates and cet busi ness for his own road and no other, especially one that had a line to Chicago. If the Wabash handled cars for any other road. the T.. St. L. fc K. C. officials would cer tainly compel it to do the samo for their road. C. P. Huntington is quoted as giving ut terance to the following statement recant iuir the transcontinental situation: "There vrill be no settlement of transcontinental troubles until the Canadian Pacific irives up its differentials. The Southern Pacilic is bound by the interstate-commerce law. and the Canadian Pacilic is not; hence arise the difficulties. As to the Pacihc Mail, tho transcontinental roads are buying tonnage from it to the extent of (i.,ot)0 a month. This is the largest subsidy ever received. considering tho number of roads and the amount of business done. Tho Pacilic Mail people have talked informally about asking for an increased subsidy, bnt thu transcon tinental roAlshavedoue nothing about it. I think the Pacific Mail is doing better than it could if it went out. As to the railroad situa tion in general, the trouble we are hearing so i . . a r muc-u auout among tne ranroaas arises purely and simplj' from tho fact that tho owners of the railroads are not their mana gers. The stockholders will have to learn by hard knocks and blows what they aro reiusing to learn by arguments." D. C. Brady, Southern passenger agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, has issued a circular in which he gives assur ance that the G. A. K. Catherine at Mil wankee will be a howling success. Ho says: "Notwithstanding the ill-advised circulars issued by a few department eoinmanders requesting comrades to refrain from going to Milwaukee on account of their failure to bulldoze the railroad companies into making excursion rates below the actual cost of transportation, the rank and tile of tho Grand Anny are going to the reunion in overwhelming numbers. The advice of Commander-in-chief Warner to go, if possible, seems to meet the inclination of a largo majority of tho veterans who fought to save th Union, and who. now that the war is over, refuse to be 'ordered by individuals possessed of a little brief authority." He assures all who may attend that they will be well provided for; that there will bo ample accommodations and plenty to cat and drink. All visitors are advised, and very wisely, to tako enly

h:inil A vrv short. tim will settle the

question as to whether Mr. Brady has uiaguoseu tne case correcny. Tho wreck on the C. II. & I., reported in dispatches to the Journal yesterday riti!i vr tvna tint an ltail net first. TPDOrtS indicated. There were no passengers injured. Fireman C. W. Caswell of the "pusher" engine, was killed, and nreniau Levi Dotv, of the passenger tram, had a leg eo badly injured that it had to be amputated, but he is doing well.
