street Railroads in BaltimOre--Great
Excitement.

BALTIMoRE, June 3O.-It having been an
nounced that subscriptions for city railroad
stock were to be received to-day, 4 large crowd
gathered at tho Office of the Company at an
early hour this morning. During the forenoon
there was a great rush for the subscription book,
and at one o'clock about 100000 had been
subscribed. Subsequently the crowd increased
and an intense excitement prevailed, there be-
ing a struggle on the part of some to get at
the book, unmindful of the interests of those
who were ahead of them. A squob bble ensued,
during which the clerk took the book and hand
ed it to one Of the grantees; but before it was
safe in the latter's hands it was seized by a
Mr.. Dougherty, Warden of'the Penitentiary,
who had subscribed for 500, 900 worth Of stock,
and carried off by him.
The excitement was increased to fever heat
by the act, and a meeting was called to inves-
tigate the proceedings on the spot. A commit
tee was appointed and the book recovered, Mr.,
Dougherty disclaiming any other intention
than the desire to prevent its destruction.
Many of the subscriptions are very large.
half IA million tits supposed being intended fol

EDITOR DAILY PREss-You are, in your pa
per this morning, complaining of a want Of
charity, because chain gang men are dismissed
without dime to buy loaf of bread. You
err If you suppose persons from the chain-gang
are not treated with the same liberal charity
as others in distress. One of our kind hearted
Judges lately sent a poor woman to Jail for
begging dime in the street to keep her from
starving. We had, some years since, kind
christian feeling for poor persons, who were
starving, or in winter freezing in the streets
from extreme poverty. The law provided that
no relief should he given by the 0verseers of
the Poor to persons freezing or starving in the
streets, unless they had resided year in the
city, without notice to leave, and go to a moro
christian country. When Adam Riddle was in
the Legislature no got this clause in the law
changed, and required aid to be given in cases
OF extreme distress. Iregret to say, that some
of the 0yerseers tell the poor that the old law
is still in force, and some of the City Directors
so declared. is not a law disgrace TO our
city, that imprisons persons in extreme dis
tress who beg in the streetY A CITIZEN.
P. S,-one of your brother editors recently
advocated the imprisonment of poor persons
who were begging in the streets. To what

COLUMBUS, Thursday Evening, June 80.
CHILD ABDuoTED.-A- little girl, daughter of
Samuel Hutchinson, was abducted by its
grandmother at an early hour this morning,
while its parents were asleep. Although q
vigiant search has been kept up all dayjno
trace of the whereabouts of the grand-parent
and child, other than that she visited her house
at about FIVE O'Clock this morning, and a note
received by the father this morning that they
had left to 60 about ten miles in the country.
The little girl is about three years old, has
dark bright eyes, and is very small for her
age. If she has left the city with the child, it
is supposed that she has gone toward Cincin-
natl. The grandmother is supposed to be
insane. Any information by which the pa
rents can again get possession of their child,
will be thankfully received.
SOLDIERS OF 1Sl2.-There will be meeting
of the veterans of the war Of 1912 held at the
Mayors office, on this Friday evening, to
make the necessary preparations for celebra-
ting the coming Fourth of July. The Com -
mittee of Arrangements have either forgotten
that there remains any of those gallant heroes
u
tentionally. Will the Committee see that they
have a prominent position in the procession.
The old soldiers should have a celebration of
their own, since the Committee have acted SO
coolly towards them. - &AJ -
SPIRITUAL.-A gentleman from one Of the
southern counties Of this State, has beon in
this city on a spree for the last day or two,
and to-day he performed the singular feat of
drinking half gallon of "rife whisky" all
at one draught. He, no doubt, is preparing
his system for the coming celebration on the
Fourth. x 1AJH9 ava T7TG HET
SHoT.-John Gabriel was accidentally shot
in theEarm yesterday by a neighbor, who was
shooting birds on his lot. No serious injury
was sustained by Mr.. g., and it is to be hoped
that folks using firearms in the city win be
more careful hereafter. There is an ordinance
preventing the discharge of firearms, but it
seems to be "dead letter." H'fIf gr taa.a b
GOING HoME.-The depot was filed this
morning with the pupils of the Deaf and
Dumb and Blind Asylumss They all seemed
anxious for the trains to leave, and were highly
delighted at the idea of spending the summer
vacation at home. 4
A RE-UNIoN.-A large number of young
ladies and gentlemen left on an early train this
morning, for the Marble Cliff Stone Quarry, to
spend the day by,a social gathering, regaling
themselves with singing and dancing.

THE daughter of Major N. G. Macrae, U. S.
A., enlisted in the army, Wednesday evening,
under command Of the gallant Lieut.. Rob-
inson. The marriage ceremony was performed
at the Episcopal Church, by the Rev. Mr..
Jeifres, where the beauty and chivalry Of
Newport gathered to witness the imposing
scene, after which the whole party returned :
to the residence of the Major, where every
thing was arranged to please the most fastidi
Gus mortal. The United States Band was in
attendance, and, as usual, discoursed most
eloquent music. r -a.go- fgotgg ,n,--,

Mount s.. Mary,s Of the west--COm-

mencement Exercises.
A few years since, Mr.. Patrick Considine, an
old and esteemed citizen oC Storrs. Townsbip,
donated five acres of ground, on the brow Of
one of the Western hills overlooking the val-
ley in which our city is located, for the pur-
pose of furnishing suitable site for a Catholic
Theological Seminary. Other gentlemen, inn
bued with like liberality, contributed to a
fund to be used in erecting suitable chapel
and cdifce. Among others, Mr.. John slcvin,
made the munidcient donation of twenty five
thousand dollars. 1t is with much regret that
the treacherous memory of the writer precludes
him from giving the proper credit to the re-
mainder of those whose faith and liberal hearts
have prompted them to contribute their means
in the erection of this institution. There is
one, in particular, widow, who, from her by
no means bounteous portion, gave five thou
sand dollars. If some one will send in her
name, we will give her the proper credit.
The building soon progressed to completion,
and is the most substantial and imposing col.
legiate structure, within our knowledge, in
the State of Ohio. About three years since, it
was determined by those having the Seminary
in charge, to connect with Il a collegiate de-
partment. Its convenience to the city, its
quiet seclusion, and the adventitious aids of
pure air, and healthful location, made it pecu-
liarly adapted for that purpose, and they have
now eighty pupils in the collegiate depart
mont, and twenty theological students in the
Seminary.
| Yesterday, the commencement exercises OF
the College took place in beautiful grove, on
the grounds of Mr.. VIM. Nef, adjoining those
of the Seminary. The following was the pro.
gramme:
Address to the Faculty, by j. p. Ward, Esq
1. Latin salutatory-- -"Enervating Power o.
Modern Pantheism," 7. NJ. Healy.
II. "Individual Influence" M. d. j. Ryan
| III. "The connection between Philosophical
! Theories and Popular Ideas" NJ. j. j. Ahern
". Reverence" James f. Callaghan.
V. "Catholicity necessary to the Stability o
our Government" William Manly.
VI. "The Spirit Of English Literature.
Valedictory, John L. Spalding.
Tho address of Mr.. Ward was one of thos,
master efforts of the mind for which we wert
little prepared in Que so young. Itwas earn
est and impressive, and well expressed.
Mr.. Aherns address was generally consid
cred the star success Of the evening.
At the close of tho exercises, large numbe
of books were distributed as premiums among
the students by Archbishop Purcell, after whicl
the degree of Bachelor of Arts was conferred
on the six young gentlemen whose names ar
above mentioned.
In the afternoon a most sumptuous Dime
was provided in the refcctory of the Seminary
and which was enjoyed by large number Q
| visitors.

Two POLICEMEN STABBED.-0n Wednesday
night, between ten and eleven o'clock, the po-
lcemen of the Bremen street station house
were informed that man named Adam Kiessr,
residing near the vicinity of Liberty street and
the Miami canal, was abusing his family.
