eoveTnor toraker intervisv.d,

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June THE fol-
lowing interview was had with Gov.
ernor Foraker, relating to the nomina-
ton of Judge Thurman: Governor
what will be the effect of the nominal
ton of Thurman for vice-president2''
Governor Foraker replied: ST don't
think that his nomination will add
any strength to the democratic ticket
in this state, and don't know why it
should in any state. He is now not
only old, but apparently infrm. This
will weaken him somewhat, but the
truth is he was never stronger than
his party, In fact not quite 50 strong.
The only time since the war that he
has been candidate before the people
was when Hayes defeated him for the
goV6rnorShip in 1887. He then ran
behind his ticket, and every man on it
got more votes that he received. The
democrats got the Legislature that
year, however, and he was sent to the
senate, but it was not his strength that
carried the general assembly. The re-
suit would have been the same in that
respect had their candidate for govern
or been Payne, Pendleton or Rainey.
It was the question of negro suffrage
and the prejudice it excited that de-
feated us as to the legislature that
year, and not Thurman or any other
man, and so it was that they carried
the state six years later in 1878, when
they again got the legislature and re-
elected Thurman to the senate. His
personal strength had nothing to do
of the Rise UP William Allen
Campaign" and the panic. His
election to the senate was
due both times to what were for him
such fortuituOuS circumstances as
these. He never had any special
strength at this time; he has less than
ever before. He will have difficulty in
commanding the full strength of his
own party. The dissent to his nom
fairly represents the sentiments TO him
among Ohio democrats
''Will he get any republican vpteS on
the ground that he is especially
honest2''
'sNo," replied Foraker, 'she will not
get any republican votes. He is no
more honest than most men are or
than all men should be, and so far as
his abilities are concerned, whatever
they may be, he has at least not made
much use of them, in political sense.
He opposed the war, emancipation,
specie resumption and almost every
thing else that has been accomplished
during the last thirty years of
which any American is proud to-day.
He has simply been a life long, unfaI-
tering democrat of the pro-slavery
anti-war bourbonism character, who
has stood by his party through good
report and bad report, always aiding
to the full extent of his ability in ali
its copperhead, free trade, money and
obstruction policies and tendencies
Oh no. indeed, he will not get republi-
can votes ,,

The New Departurs At the COLLEGE Of EmUOris.


EDITOR DAILY NEWS: Allow me to
call the attention of our citizens to the
highly important action taken at the
last meeting of the board of trustees Of
the college. After mature deliberation
it was resolved unanimously to abolish
all tuition fees, and henceforth charge
only the small sum of $40 per annum,
as an incidental fee. This is probably
the most significant action ever taken
by the board. 1t brings to Emporia the
splendid facilities of college fully
equipped for the most advanced in
struction, and offers to our own citi~
ZenS, and indeed to all others, these un-
surpassed advantages gratuitously
Henceforth the privileges of the higher
collegiate education are to be, as far as
EmpOria is concerned, like heaven
air and light, without money and with
out price.
Allow me to say that the abolition of
tuition fees does not mean the lowering
of the high standard of training
adopted by this college. Nor does it
mean a cheapening in any sense of the
high quality of instruction hitherto
impaired iii this institution. On the
contrary our present plans contemplate
increase and enlargement of all our
facilities. The splendid library just
bestowed on the college by its friends
and supporters is but an earnest of
other and larger gifts that are coming
to US in the near future. The fixed
purpose of the synod and the trustees
of the college is to place it abreast of
the best colleges of the country, and to
do this at the earliest day possible.
1t will be seen at glance that EN-
pOr1a is, by this action of our college
authorities, lifted to place of great
prominence as an educational center,
From the primary school onward
through all the grades to the com.
pietiOn of the most thorough classical
course, all is offered gratItously.
munity must be Obvions to all at q
glance. Thoughtful parents cannot
fail to appreciate these advantages
[ while families of means and influence
in increasing numbers must be at
| tracted to our fair city by its eVer-en
larging educational facilities.
The authorities of the college ask II
return the hearty cooperation OF al
| our citizens. Much can be done b!
our own people to foster and sustain
an enterprise of such priceless valu
to us all. A just local pride should b
manifested in all that pertains to tn
welfare of the institution. Especial.
should some provision be made b.
which the line of street railroad woul'
be at once extended to the college
This is an imperative necessity, and
is to be hoped that both the propert,
holders in that vicinity and the cit
Zens in general, as well as the mana
gers of our street railroad. will recoe
nize the opportunity and the call fO
liberal action in the matter.
| If our citizens generally will NEE
the liberal action of the college boar
of trustees in like broad and generou
spirit. the step here taken may prov

ture also for the city of Emporia.

Chased His Son wien a Knife.


EVANSVILLE, Ind, June IA very
sensational incident occurred on Main
and Third streets to-day, the princi-
pals in the affair being Mr.. Hiram E.
Read, ST., and his son, Hiram E. Read,
Jr. The trouble is another chapter
growing out of the real estate transac-
ton which caused two fights in the old
national bank on Monday, in which
H. Z. Read, ST., made an assault on
Mr.. j. w. Jeuner, and H. E. Read, Jr.,
assaulted ex-Congressman William
Human. Shortly before o'clock this
morning II. E. Read, Jr., was standing
on the corner of Second and Main
streets talking to friend, when
his father drove down Second
street, en- route to his Office. Espying
his son, he refined up his horse, leaped
from the buggy, and drawing dan
gerouS-looking knife from his pocket,
made dash at his son. The latter at
once saw his fathers intention, and
being unarmed, turned and ran down
Main street as fast as his feet could
carry him. Upon reaching the corner
of Third street he whirled around the
corner and made for his Office, with
the irate parent close at his heels and
making his best effort to reach the
young man, and crying at the top of
| his voice, ''Stop him, stop him. "
After a hard chase of square and a
half, however, his strength commenced
to give way, allowing the son to gain
ground. Reaching his Office, he rushed
inside, boiling the door. The madden
| ed purSuer stood at the door few
minutes, shaking his fist and giving
vent to his feelings in manner much
more forcible than elegant, and finding
there was no chance to carry out his
object, he left for his own Office. I'm
mediately after his departure Mr.
Read, Jr., went before the prosecutor
and had an affidavit for a peace war
rant made out. The warrant. howev-
er, has not been served. Both the par
ties in the case are prominent citizens
and have be6n engaged in tho rea
estate business for a number of years
The father claims that his son has
practiced some underhand work OF
him in a real estate transaction.

January to June 1, 1888, 2,212 miles
of railway track have been laid. This

risOn Garrett of the firm of Robert

had he remained aboard the yacht.
AS soon as the collision occurred both
the crew of the Joppa and the Clean
went to work to rescue the passengers
of the yacht. The lifeboat of the latter
was manned and the passengers trans
ferred to the steamer. The Clean was
expected at the South street wharf last
night, and carriages were waiting to
convey Mr.. Garrett and his guests to
Baltimore with the rescued passengers
at O'Clock this morning. Mr.. Asa

ATTACKED A TRAIN.
BungIing Attempt at Train Robbery
at Delhi, Indiana.
A Baggage Master Fatally injured in
the Scuf1s.
No Booty Worth Mentioning Carried
Away.
Four Suspicious Characters Arrested
on the River.

CINCINNATI, June 9.-The exciting
attack on a railroad train at Delhilast
night is discussed in all quarters this
morning. Chief Hazen of the police
force is disposed to regard it as the
work of tramps and the facts show that
if done by professionals they made a
poor choice Of booty. It is certain,
however, that it was q case of intended
robbery. as it is now known that after
shooting Baggage Master Ketchum and
putting to fight Express Messenger
Zimmerman the robbers entered the car,
rif1ed ketchum s pockets and reloaded
their revolvers, but then seemed to have
been frightened away, probably by
the failure of their partners sent to
take possession Of the engine and to
have fled from the car as the conductor
enteredft.i la struggle between Engineer
Boyd and the robber being desperate
one, but ended by the rObber being
thrown off, leaving his hat behind.
News from the scene this morning is
meagre. The police are still actively
searching with a posse Of citizens.
Four market men coming to the city
last night report that they were met
by four highWaymen not far from the
scene of the train robbery and were
robbed. One of the victims was
bold enough to go back after the rob
bers, and thought he saw them take a
skill and row across the river. An out
going train on the same road was shot
at in the vicinity of where the incom-
ing train was attacked. No report has
been received yet from the police of
any arrest. Baggage Master Ketcham,
who made such gallant fight with the
robbers, died at 1890 this morning at
the hospital, from the effects Of his
wounds. The utmost possible efforts
will be made to capture the murderous
assailants.
A special to the Time Star from Au-
Aurora this morning arrested four men
who were rowing down the
river in skiff. They were
not able to give satisfactory account
of themselves and are thought to be
the train robbers. The whole
country is thoroughly aroused
over the matter, the exciSment being
intensified by the news of the death of
Baggage Master Ketchum. If there is
fair proof of their gnilt it is highly
probable that these four men viii be
summarily punished by the excited
pOpulace.
LATER,
CINCINNATI, June 9.-Report of the
death of Ketcham the Baggage master
shot last night was premature. An
operation was performed at 1890 of
most critical nature. He endured it
well and there is bare possibility that
he may recover though his condition is
very serious.

much mistaken if the judgment of these men is not accepted before that of a troop of sneaking Ananiases and corrupt Judaseswho have run thewhole gamut ofpohtical treach- cry and dishonesty. It will take more than the sneaking innuendoes and vile insinua- tions of Ananias Troup and his heelers to snatch one gem from the coronet that en- circles the patriotism of James Reynolds. A sneaking cynic who has aspersed the motives of every man that ever contributed for the Irish cause, who has befouled even those republicans with whom he is now cheek by jowl, will not be accepted as a censor of the motives that inspire honest and honorable men. Such a nature as Troup's is fit only to consort with the hog for which he once publicly expressed m affinity.
