A GOOD SELECTION.
Professor james III. Smart Elected President
of Purdue University, to Succeed

The Journal, last night, received the folio wing
special from Lafay ette:
James III. Smart to-day elected president

mathematics. E. e. Smith, late principal of the
academy department, was advanced 10 the chair

A Journal reporter called upon Prot Smart at
his residence on North Pennsylvania street, last
night, and that gentleman said that he did not
care to make public his intentions regarding the
matter as he had received no official notification
of his election-only mere announcement from
apersonal friend. He would however, decide in
day or two what he would do From another
source it is known, however, that Prof Smart
will accept the position.
Prof. Smart was born in Center Harbor, n. H,
June 81. 1841. When he was twelve years old he
began to support and educate himself, and gradu-
ated att Concord high-sohool. He taught school
IN his native State for several years and became
prominently known in educational circles,
OelnR one OF the editors Of the
New Hampshire Journal OF Educa
ton. In 1868 he removed to Toledo, where he
taught In the high-schoOl, and Two years later
was chosen SUPERINTENDENT OF the Fort Wayne
schools, and was unanimously reelected to that
was elected State superintendent of Public In
struetion, and was twice re-elect ed TO the same
position, which he filled with marked ability.
In 1878, he was appointed by the President as
one or the commissioners of Indiana to the Paris
Exposition, and in 1880 was elected president
OF the National Teachers Association at
Chautauqua, N. Y. Since his retirement from the
superintendency, he has acted as agent for In
diana of the publishing house of d. Appleton &
CO.. OF New YORK. He is one OF the best-kHow1
ana most competent educators-in the State, and
hls appointment will give general satisfaction.

indeed, SAID nothing whatever to me about their

them beyond any doubt that the services of the
men were Indispensable. They were not acting
for the interests of the institution however; but
they were determined upon political barter,
regardless of consequences, which 1 was
determined should not be made as long as I was
superintendent. The acts OF the trustees, in
their efforts t. prostitute the trust which they
mold, to pay political debts, are infamous and
outrageous. Nothing could be more exasperat-

DR.. Rogers spoke of the changes and reforms
which had been made in the institution since lie
was made superintendent and when asked how
long he had held the position, he said:

simple reason that would not permit them to
prostitute my trust for the sake Of giving posi-
tlon to an incapable person at a salary of only
5000 year. There are 5,136 patients In the
institution, and there many thousand

KentOns by a Score of L to o.

The Indianapolis Ball Club met the Kentons,

grounds, yesterday afternoon, and defeated
them by score Of to 0, in six innings. During
the last inning there was light rain, and time
was called. IL continued raining for some time,
and the umpire, Mr.. Will johnson, announced
TO the crowd that, according to the American
rules, game must be called, as it had rained
thirty minutes since time was called. This an
nouncement not received with
much favor as it showed symptoms OF clearing,
and the visitors clicked" with astonishing
yigor and fervor, but ii did no good, and the
game was ended. Although short, it was full OF
striking features. During the entire six innings
the visitors failed to make a single base-hit off
of Donnelly, while the home club only made

boys were two 1umbles by Clifton, who had
sore hand and played short-stop, and they were
partially excusable account of the condition

sixth inning, however, By fine catch Of a line

that James Hough made disclosures to him con-
eerning the Foreman murder, was brought down
from tho Northern Prison, to testify in the pre-
limnsry examination of Hough, before Justice
Feibleinan this afternoon. A Journal reporter
made commendable effort to Interview Bush
in the county Jail last night, but he was not dis
posed to be particularly communitive, saying
that he would save his story until to-day. He
said that Hough admitted to him that he knew
all about the Foreman murder, but did not ad-
init that he was active participant in it..
Bush says that he talked about the matter freely
with the inmates OF the Jail before Milton G..
Foreman was arrested for the crime.
