BROWNSVILLE.
Commencement Of the Females College,.
- Music, Muslin, Fans, Diplomas.
ETC., Etc.

A representative of the LEDGER
took a run up to Brownsville yester-
day evening and attended the com
mencement of the, Female College.
Half mile from the depot, in the
suburbs of the little city, he ap-
preached stately building with a
grove in front, lighted up by Chinese
lanterns. The weather had been
melting hot all day, but at $50 at
night a cool breeze swept through the
groves, and the brilliantly lighted
place presented attractions for the
pleasure seekers as well as the friends
of education. A large, intelligent
and rather stylish crowd was in at
tendance.
The regular programme was opened
with prayer by the Rev. Edgar Il.
Folk. This was followed by music
which was literally and charmingly
interspersed throughout the exercises
There were four graduates who read
essays, as follows: Miss Cordelia
Mathes, Yesterday aud To-day y;
Miss Carrie Felsenthal, Every Cloud
has a Silver Lining" Miss Mary
Wendell, "0ld Maids -; and Miss
Mosie Byars, THE Stillest Forces
are the Deepest" The essays were
we'll read and heartily applauded, and
the young lady graduates were the
recipients Of elegant floral tributes,
President Binford delivered, with
appropriate remarks, an elegant book
as a prize for spelling, to Robert Aus
tin, an intellec tual lad of ten or eleven
years, and neph of a Memphis mer-
merchant of the same name and a
beautiful silver cup to Miss Annie
Allen, the little daughter of DR.. j.
r. Allen, a prominent physician of
Brownsville, for the greatest improve
ment in penmanship
BY request, Mrs. c, w. Jacobs, nee
Miss Kate Bond, daughter Of Judge
w. P, Bond, sang Shamus O'Brien.
She has q voice of rare compass, dis
Effectiveness and sweetness. 1t has
evidently been cultivated in the best
of schools. Such musical talent and
education is rarely found, even in the
centers of art.
Prof c. w. Anderson, principal OF
the Brownsville Male Academy, made
a beautiful and eloquent address to
the graduating class, which was lis
tened TO with intense interest, even at
very late hour.
The people of Brownsville and sur
rounding country may well be proud
of this institution. 1t is evidently in
the right hands. President Binford is a
Virginian by birth and education, was
resident of Middle Tennessee many
years. is splendidly educated, has been
journalist by profession, aud now
devotes all his energies and fine at
tainments to the advancement Of
higher education.
In this hasty notice we have to omit
the details Of the programme which
we're carried out with promptness,
accuracy and good effect. The local
press will no doubt do the young la
dies ample justice,

If Ben Wilson would devote as much in
dustry and ubiquity TO some legitimate pur-
suit as he has done for the last few days to
stealing, bed become big success. satur-
day night Alderman Dowlan had his horse
stripped of blanket while standing at the
Lake Superior depot. Sunday night DR..
Stamm, on upper Third street, had buffalo
robe stolen cut of his buggy. The same
night Gatfney, hackman, had robe taken
out OF his hack while in front of Swede
Armies bagnio. The same night Flanagan,
hack driver, had his overcoat taken out of
MS carriage as it stood near the Merchants
hotel. Ben Wilson accumulated all these
articles in his rounds, and all were recovered
yesterday by Capt. Clark and Officer O'Keefe.
Aid. Dowlan's blanket was found rolled
up and buried in Carver's cave.
Gafney's robe was found under the side
welk in front of Mother Frances brothel.
Slamm's buffalo robe was recovered at Bob
Diamonds halfway house, where it had
been sold by Wilson for $50.

Cured In this way: So soon as the many
petty thefts were reported, the police took
the matter under advisement, and yesterday
morning tramp came into the city hall
from Carver's cave and said that
IA man was occupying the
cave who had horse blanket.
Capt Clark learned that Wilson had been
seen promiscuously around. As Officer
OKeete became we'll acquainted with Will
son last summer, while serving sentence
OF four months on the rock-piIe, he was set
to look after him, and did it by effectinq his
capture in St. Anthony yesterday afternoon.
Wilson confesses all the thefts. He says
he's been making a rendezvous of Car
Vers cave for several months, and that it is
general resort for his kind. just here
would it not be advisable to make Carver'e
cave uninhabitable by the judicious use of q
sufficient quantity of blasting powder?

ARRESTED ON SUSPICION.
Supposition That a Horse Thief Has BE


Supposition That Horse Thief Has Been
Bagged.
Along in October postal card was received
! at police headquarters offering reward for the
recovery of two horses stolen from Cannon
Falls, or for the apprehension of the thief. It's
likely that Capt. Clark and Officer Rouleau
will lay claim to the reward because of a cap-
| ture made by them last night. About night
| fail, yesterday, man sauntered into De Woes
livery stable, ON Fifth street. BE was quickly
| recognized as party who had been there be-
| fore, say In October, about the time the team
OF It, and acknowledged having
in the stable. The stable hands all remember
| ca the horses as pair of ''roans," Just the
kind described as having been stolen. The
| upshot of it was that the stable men sent out
word to officer Ro9leau of their suspicious, and
he telling Capt. Clark, the arrest of the man
and companion quickly followed. They were
gathered IN just as they were coming out of
! Mother frances naaiSon de .1oi. On reaching
the lookup the party recognized at De Woes
stable gave his name IS w. B. Terrell, and said
he was from Cedar Rapids and some other town
IN Iowa, not certain in his story,
sweet home" He confessed to having driven
pair Of horses into the city during October,
and declared he had sold the light draft team
up IN the pineries beyond Taylors Falls. His
companion gave his name as Organ Both
seemed we'll off in lucre, Terrell or Sullivan
had SlS5, and O. Ryan's wallet bulged out with
| a roll of $500.
The postal card which told about the theft,
somehow had become mislaid, or Terrell could
| be exactly identified. The matter, however,
| was com promised by Chief Weber taking Ter

him, after word was sent by telegraph To

Joseph Prior Non Est.

Last summer, Joseph Prior was arrested
in Waseca. He was charged with selling
liquor without special United States license.
The traffic was carried on in a bagnio run
by him and his wife. Marshal McLaren. in
making the arrest, had the assistance of the
Waseca town marshal. Prior attempted to
escape, and was badly wounded by e pistol
shot fired by the Waseca officer. The pris-
oner vas then brought to this city, and
placed in the Sisters hospital for treatment.
From that, long ago, up to the present time,
the public have known nothing of Prior. He
wasn't indicted by the last grand jury. It
seems that Prior has made good
his escape somehow. The somehow
happened in about this way: About two
weeks ago his wife came to this CITY and
pleaded to take him home to be nursed. and
promised to return him all solid within q
week. Her pleading softened the heart of
the custom house-which is limestone with
granite trimmings-and he was allowed to
depart, since when nothing has been heard
OF him, though inquiry has been made at
Waseca, and also in Owatonna, the last
named place being his ostensible objective
point when he left St. Paul. 49,. = :
