Playful College Students,
Waterville Reflex.

About twenty-five students from
Hamilton College came here a few
nights since and brought with them
mission 10 one of the college societies.
They arrived about midnight and
disembarked for the wagons on Mil
street with SO much ostentation that a
resident appealed to the night watch
man for protection. The boys, how
ever, offered no violence to anybody
buS their own. The candidates were
all bIindfolded and were led to the
American Hotel over every possible
obstacle, and then singly Or in pairs
rushed through the iron bridge to the
opera house. Here the wild initia-
tlon ceremonies of the guild we're
commenced. Creased plank, tossing
blankets. and 3 shaving lather of corn
meal and molasses were part of the
apparatus used, and the spare mo-
nents were filed in by rushing the
victims about the rooms in the most
unceremoneious manner. The oath Of
secrecy and allegiance was most ex-
travagant in phraseology and appall-
ing in accompaniment. When all had
been initiated supper was served in
the American dining room, and the
party returned to Clinton in the early
morning.
On the American register for that
evening appear the following names:
John L. Sullivan, Boston; Victor
Hugo, Paris James D. Fish, Ludlow
Street Jail; Matthew Arnold, Lon,
don; George Washington, District of
Columbia, and the Devil, He'll, and
other curious signatures

that the fight for Temperance is

CLEVELAND, July 9!-There are no new
Developments in the strike. The Union
Street Screw works announced their inten-

fow men scattered around the works, but
the strikers have made no effort to stop them
A telephone message Just received states
that procession of strikers has just left the
corner of Hamm street and Broadway for
Newburg. The object is not known, but it
is rumored trouble may be expected when
they arrive.
Ward Forty is now becoming the princi-
pal campus and headquarters of the strike.
A large field near the corner of Broadway
and Hamm street is the scene of mass
meeting at this hour, where crimson flag is
faunted. Four hundred Poles have just ar
rived from the South side, and Joined the
strikers
A large number of men obtained work
from the street contractor, and entered upon
their duties.
A delegation of strikers called shortly af-
ter, however, and compelled them to stop
work, and join tho strike.
Sheriff Dewstoe. who has been sojourning
at Flint, Mich, was telegraphej to return
Immediately.
The police board is in continual special
session, swearing in special policemen for
service during the strike.
The strikers seem devoid OF leaders and
parade the streets aimlessly, starting for
certain point, and perhaps before proceeding
a hundred yards changing their mi nds and
going in other directions.
When it was announced at the q ass meet
ing held by the strikers that the Uaion Steel
Screw and Shovel works had resumed opsr-
ations motion to march to the works and
pull the employees out was unanimously
adopted. Later they decided to wait while,
as it was decided to have another conference
with Mayor Gardner, who they say, prom

they will die before giving them up, and de
clare if interfered with by the police they
will be many dead policemen in town. The
strikers are very ignorant lot, not more
than quarter of them able to understand
the English language. They have become 81
elated at the recent success of stopping othel
mills that now they labor under the impres
sion that the city is at their mercy.

Good News to Workmen and the General
Public.
CINCINNATI, July 14.-Great volumes Of
black smoke pouring from the mills of the
Swift's Iron and Steel company at River
side announced to the world that they had
resumed operations. From their vast re-
cesses CLEANED the red glow Of the furnace
fires, while the clang Of hammers and din OF
machinery seemed chorus Of gladne1 and
p usperity.
Last Saturday the secretary Of the COM
rany, Mr. john L. Pfau, went to the then
idle works and rang the bsll which hangs
above them. The men knew the signal as
well as the farmer and his hands know ths
meaning of the bell which rings at dinner
time, and they gathered at the call. They
were told to be on hand. Nearly 25O men
are already at work and the full force Of 800
will be on before the week is over.

do you think that the tone of tho busi-

II most certainly do, in fact there is no
doubt about the matter The reports OF the
clearing houses all show that. The clear
ings last week in every city in the Union
were much larger than they were month
or two back. But it is very evident that the
iron business is better, and I think it IS SC

are getting over the hari times. People
have paid their debts and have refrained
from making new ones, the fall trade will
soon be coming on and feeling of conf

accused by Terril in his confession,
as being the person who killed the
Weldons, is in another scrape. He
has been leading vagabond life in
Columbus. On last Saturday he

in many peoples heads that Bill
Terril's statement, duplicating Joe
King with the Weldon murder is
true. King is a bad man, and as

threatened with a party by the

BOSS BROOKE.
He thimble-rigs the Katy dds.
And juggles the Convention.

At the Republican State Con
ven!ion, All Brooke, the Chinese
Juggler of Hooking, aspired to a
place on the State Central Com.
mittee.
In order to secure this position
he must have solid support Of
his own county. On the pledge
that he would withdraw from the
County Central Committee, he
was given the solid report of the
Vicersonian Katy di S, and
was appointed State Central
Committeeman for this District
Last Saturday the County Cen
trail Committee met. The Katy
dds swarmed the room as thick
as grasshoppers in hay field
Brooke had previously elected
himself Chairman. In Chinese
diplomacy, the man behind the
throne is more potential than the
throne. So Brooke resigns his
place as Chairman and selects
his willing servitor, Mcdonald,
who lives in the country. The
further out in the country the
Chairman resides the better it
answers the purpose of the tor
tuous policy Of the Yang Use XII
ang Administration.
The Katy dds called on Mr..
Brook for his withdrawal from
the committee, reminding him of
his premises. Boss Brooke has
a peculiar faculty of dismissing
his recollection. His recollec-
ton was dismissed, and his mem
orY was asleep.
1t was suggested that he could
not attend to the lofty affairs of
the State and at the same time
give attention to the lowly con-
Germs of the county.
The Boss has the notion that
he can turn his eye from contem
plating the planetary worlds to
watching the Katy-dids in the
grass at his feet. Brooke did not
and would not resign. He swell
ed himself to imposing proper
tions and shooed the swarm Of
Katy dds from his imperial pres
ence.
The -didn'ts are kicking
themselves, and making the
streets ear distressing with their
plaintive screeches. 1t is sad,
but it is so.
Won McClintock, a great Ger
man naturalist, who publishes a
newspaper, which is a natural
curiosity in itself, is going about
trying to bottle some of the
noisiest of the Katy dds, for the
sake OF harmony. Thus far he
has only secured the Postmaster.
He has him corked up and kept
silent.

THE SILENT SUFFERER.
DR.. Newman's Sermon ON Mt. DIcGrogor-

DR.. Newman's Sermon ON Mt. HIcGrogor-
General Grant.
MT. McGREGoR, N. Y, July IA
When Gen Grant awoke Dr. Douglas con-
graduated him on his Improvement over
night. The change was slight, but tho gen
eral seemed at last about to mend after
a weary waiting of three days, and that was
a hopeful sign.
He spent the morning in his room. The
train that came up before noon brought 2OO
visitors from Saratoga. They filed slowly
up from the station, many of them inger'
ing near the cottage. Governor Hill and
]. w. Drexel were among them, going into
pay their respects to the sufferer. Chairs
nearly filing one side of the hocel porch had
been set out before the train came, and
whom the visitors reached the hill top there
was an audience for the Rev. DR.. Newman
Of about three hundred persons
It had been intended to hold service ut
some place so that the general might over
hear, but on account Of his condition DR..
Newman chose place on the hotel porch,
furthest remote from the cottage. A choir
and orchestra from Canajoharie began the
service Several Of the Grant family came
up to the hotel and by the time the sermon
began LuoI0 WoI0 euOuSu otuor oIIANoAS WIZ
had come up the hill from the surrounding
region to make an overflow audience, which
reached out on tho lawn in front.
The preacher spoke on the value Of char
acter. In the course Of the sermon, speak
ing of happiness proceeding from what was
in person rather than from outside infiu
ences, DR.. Newman referred to Gen. Gran,
as an illustration Of nobility of character In
these words:
"Oh, illustrious sufferer in yonder cottage
what lessons thou art teaching to rulers and
statesmen of the world, and to the youth OF
that country which thou hast saved by thins
own hand. Thy silent and heroic suffering
commands the admiration Of mankind AND
fills the hearts or angels with delight"
The preacher made a touching reference
to the general in his prayer. When service
was over and the people were going away
the general came out on the porch, sitting
with shawl over his shoulders for over az
hour. He coughed somewhat in the after
noon, but toward evening was out again.
DR.. Douglas thought he had passed re
markably good day and expects the nigh
will bo comfortable one.
