REVOLVING STUDENTS.
Chatting Under Restraints at a
Normal SchOOl-Withdrawal OF
One Hundred Students.

LANCASTER Pa, June lO.-The village
Of Millersville, located about four miles
south Of this place, and the seat OF the
State Normal School, is just now i'll
state OF excitement, owing to rebel
lion on the part OF the students OF that
institution. For some time past there
has been bad feeling on the part Of the
students on account of their being de-
MED the privilege OF social intercourse
with the lady students who attend the
school. Some months ago an entertain
ment was given by thestrical company
at this place, and number OF students
OF both sexes were in attendance.
A Street Car Incident
After the entertainment was over the
ladies' were taken in charge by one OF
the professors and placed in street cars
preparatory to returning to the school.
A male student entered one OF these
cars in order TO return TO the school. He
was ordered out by the Professor, but
having paid his fare, the man refused 20
90 out. The conductor was appealed to
by the teacher, but would not remove
the obnoxious student, consequently he
occupied his seat until the college was
reached. The case was reported TO the
Faculty, and the end of the matter was
the student was only allowed 10 remain
at the school after he. had made an am'
pie apology for his inlraction OF the
rules. The present trouble has its orr
gin in the foregoing incident
Wholesale Exodus of Students.
Some days since another disturbance
occurred between Professor Brooks, the
principal, aud some OF the students.
| The latter claimed that they had been
badly treated, and at meeting severely
criticised the regulations OF the school
and its authorities. Professor Brooks
reported the case 10 the faculty and as a
consequences two Of the students were
expelled. A number OF the other stu
dents threatened il expulsion was re
sorted to they would also leave. PRO
lessor Brooks advised the students rs
rea enable men and women not to take
any rash or hasty action. This failed to
have the desired effect, and to-day the
matter eliminated in the withdrawal OF
about one hundred oi the students, who
concluded to Ro out with their expelled
brethren, J. w. Coates, OF Wyoming,
aud o. B. Hipple, OF Lancaster.
A Triumphal Procession
A proces sion, numbering about two
hundred persons, including the students
and their sympathizing friends, and
headed by the MillersviIle brass band,
marched to this place to take the cars
for their respective homes. Each stu
dent wore a white badge, and they were
marshalled by two leaders with white
sashes. The heroes of the occasion were
the two students, who rarried boquets.
A banner bearing the inscription Free
Speech" was carried in the line. After
parading the town the party halted At
two OF the newspaper Offices aud ten
dered a serenade OH account oi these
papers having championad their cause
The line of march was then taken ior
the depot, and the students left for their
homes, after which the balance OF the
crowd disappeared.
The Faculty claim that it is case ol
di5ciplne against disorder, aud that the
former has proved victorious.
