The President Receiving 4 Rousing Re-
ception Everywhere.
KNOXVILLE. Tenn, April 16.-1t was
nearly midnight when tho presidential
train left Washington. The run during
the night was uneventful as no stops Of
importance we're made. But from early
morning when the train crossed
the line into Virginia, until night, the
president received continuous ovation.
Thousands Of people gathered at every
station through which the train passed,
and the presiuent was compelled to
make several speeches which were not
on the programme. His allusion to the
late unpleasantness and the evident dis
position of the Southern people to now
stand by the stars and stripes were re.
ceived with rousing cheers.
The presidential party is now south Of
Mason and Dixon's line, but the well
come President Harrison has received
could not be more sincere had there
never been occasion to ofiguratively draw
a line between the states of the North
and South.

Examined by Mr.. Murray-He had
sold lots at that time for less than the
sums he received from the city, but he
really considered he made present of
the lots to Albert Lawton out of pure
friendship.
In answer to further questions by At
torney Phillips, witness admitted that
the property which had been taken
from him was still vacant, and had been
so for the last ten years. He would not
state whether any of the lots were un-
der water or not; he did not know. He
thought the lots were worth 5000 each at
the present time. He was not inter-
ested in the case as an attorney, but
was fighting the cause of old soldiers
and widows, and also looking after his
own interests. He was anxious for the
Improvement when the property
was taken, but did not think
the damages awarded were fair.
He did not as lawyer take any steps
at the time to appeal to the district
court against the award, and did not
know as lawyer that the city had its
own time in which to make the improve
mentS.
The attorneys for the city then stated
that they would call the members of the
board of public works, who were in Of
flee when the lands were taken, and the
hearing was adjourned until this after
noon.

MELODY OF STRINGS.

Badger Boys Use Threats and In
struments to Sweet Effect.
The students of the various UNIVERSE
ties in the United States are famous in
some manner or other upon the posses
sion of certain abilities outside of those
of studying the classics and mathemat-
les. Some are known to the world for
their aptitude in tossing the sphere,
known as base ball, others for their
proves in the game of football, while
mauy have immortalized themselves by
their skill and strength upon the
swift bosom of lake and river
while engaged in a desperate battle
for supremacy with rival collegian in
either a single, double or eight-oared
boat. The University of Wisconsin,
Judging from It's representatives who
appeared last evening at the Peoples
church, has made its speciality the
twanging of the banjo. together with
the singing of college glees. The
Badger Glee and Banjo club is too
we'll known to need any comment, for
while it may have its equals, it has no
superior. The programme the college
boys presented last evening was
varied one, and was rendered i'll
a most artistic style, the members being
in each case loudly applauded by the
large audience of delighted ladies and
gentlemen, who insisted upon many en-
cores. The boys proved themselves
true artists, especially in the rendering
of college songs, which must have found
a responsive chord in the heart of many
of the gentlemen present, who heard
perhaps for the first time since they de-
parted from their alma mater the
chOruses they had sung years ago. The
selections upon the banjo were fault
Iessly given, and proved that in the
hands of skillful performers the inStru-
ment can be used for other purposes
