THE sHlPLEY DEFALeATIOS.

That 10 what u would be called IfMr.
5hipley, treasurer Of the board Of re-
gents Of the State Agricultural college,
were & Republican. The JoURsAL would
.iOt hesitate to call It that II q Republi-
,.An official was responsible for large
-um Of money and could not produce IL
when called upon. That IL the case Of
Mr.. Shipley and the Agricultural col
Iege fund.
The fund is DOW needed for the erec-
ton Of q building which is already
planned and contracted for. In talk
ing with a member Of the legislature
who was mainly Instrumental 10 pro-
curing the appropriation, he said to
the writer that 1t would seriously Grip
pie the institution to lose the money.
1t would prevent q hundred or more
young men and women from attending
the college this coming year 1884.
If this money is unavailable on &C
count of the failure OF the bank in
which Treasurer Shipley placed the
same then he should make II good in
time to put up the building. Ifit ap-
pears, as now seems to be the fact. that
he put that money there Of his own ac-
cord when 1t would have been perfect
Iy safe to leave il in the state treasury,
II is virtually defalcstion and should
be made good at once to the college.

A pretty home wedding took place at
No. 165 Kenyon avenue last night, Miss
Cora Marshall, a very pretty and cultured
young lady, was married TO w, +. Har-
grave, Of New York, the former musical
director of the Old Homestead company,
in that city. Rev. Graustaff ofilciated at
the ceremony, which took place just at
s o'clock. The bride entered, on the
groom's arm, 10 the strains of Mendell-
sohn's wedding march, which was artis-
tically rendered by Miss Mary Campbell.
She was attired in a modish cream.white
gown Of silk and wool bengaline, made in
the 1880 style, with bertha and founcing
Of exquisite cream lace, and coquettish ro-
settes Of baby ribbon. Brides roses were
her flowers, and she wore costly pearl and
diamond ornaments, the gift Of the groom.
The out-of-town guests present were
Mrs. Rledel, of Cleveland; Mrs. Chas.
Howk and Miss Ethel Hall, of yelling
ton, o, Mrs. Hargraye received large
number Of very handsome gifts from q
host Of friends, and the hearty congratu-

The Big Four Situation.

Two thousand unemployed workmen
throng Workman's hall, says the Cincin.
natl Commercial Gazette, and discuss the
situation from day to day, wondering what
the morrow will bring.
This is a bad time to think or talk of
striking.
The trainmen of the Big Four are as
sembled in this city, and they, too, are dis.
cussing their grievances. Their wages
have been reduced, and they have deter.
mined they cannot stand the cut. Monday
their grand chiefs will confer with Presl.
dent Ingalls,, and unless a compromise can
be reached strike is threatened.
A strike Of that kind would be serious
affair. II would involve the happiness Of
$500 families. 1t would be bad thing for
the Big Four, bad thing for the men, a
bad thing for the city of Cincinnati and
the towns on the line Of the road,
Mr.. Ingalls, pleads that the present con-
dition of affairs has made the reduction of
salaries necessary. The depression which
is felt in all other business enterprises has
reached the railroad as we'll. Mr.. ingalls,
has been kind and ever considerate
chieftain. His actions throughout have
been friendly 10 the workingman, friendly
to organized labor. When the times made
retrenchment an imperative necessity he
exempted those whose wages were below
5000 a year from the reduction. His men
haYe not forgotten 1t, and their hearts are
with him. They will listen to friendly
council.
When the same condition Of affairs ex-
listed on the L. g. N. public opinion was
against strike. The grand chiefs recog.
nized this fact; they recognized the hard.
ships that would result from the crippling
Of big system. They decided against a
strike, and sent the men back TO work,
with the understanding that their condi-
ton should be ameliorated as the times
improved. The same question is involved
now. Will the grand chiefs be consistent
and follow the established precedentH Or
will the men be made to suffer, the road
be made to suffer, the city be made to suf-
fer, because they cannot be brought to ap-
preciate the exigencies Of the situation.

MEDINA.

Owing to wreck Of a freight on the G.
L, & W. road south of Medina on Tuesday
the passenger trains from the south we're
delayed and people bound for Chicago
had much time for meditation at the de-
pot.
The Copley swamp is burning slowly
and bitches are being made around the
fires. The Akronites coming to visit the
fires were sent home by the dense smoke.
A conservative town like Medina is a
breakwater against hard times. There
are no failures here and business houses
have not been badly suspended. And yet
people want booms in business, even In
churches. Collapsed booms are lying
fiat all over the country. A long steady
pull builds up civilization.

Bellevue's ministers have all subscribed
to the following in regard 10 the conduct
Ing Of funerals:
I'VE rejoice in the obylous tendency TO
return to the primitive simplicity Of the
Christian service.
1--WE welcome the growing custom Of
dispensing with the wearing of black
Grape as an emblem Of bereavement.
ave recommend that all funerals be Oh
dered as plainly as possible, and urge upon
the rich the duty Of setting the example
to the poor-discouraglng profuse floral
displays, superauous carriages, excessive
attendance at the cemetery, ostentatious
monuments, and every form OF extrava.
giant expenditure.
I'VE suggest that the services them.
selves be characterized by simplicity and
brevity, and that all undue eulogies be
omitted.
1--WE recommend that no opportunity be
given for the public and promiscuous
viewing Of the remains.
1--WE would urge the propriety of avoid
Ing, when possible, funerals on Sunday,
inasmuch as the clergy are already suffi.
ciently taxed on that day-it moreover
impairs the efficiency Of regular diYine
worship.
THAT while appreciatlng the privilege
and recognizing the duty of taking charge
of the dead in the name Of the church of
God, we yet would, with all the sympathy
and charity, point out to those who are not
identified with any Christian church, and
who do not share in the maintenance Of
Christian worship and doctrines, that they
are not comforting favor upon US by seek

selves, or any consideration as to whether

SENATOR-ELECr WHITE.
His Departure for Washington Delaye
for a Tina.

His Departure for Washington Delayed
for Time.
United States Senator-elect Stephen
M. White had intended to leave for
Washington today at p. m. over the
Santa Fe. He has, however, been forced
to change his plans and postpone the
date of his departure for several days al
least, owing to the illness of his young
est child and the immense pressure of
business upon him.
When the senator does leave he will
not return again until about the 8th of
April. The senate will be convened in
extra session on March 4th to confirm
the nominations for the cabinet and
such other Offices as the president
desires to fill Immediately. The
senate remains in session then as long
as the president desires.
An endeavor was made last evening to
secure an expression from Senator
White as to what he thought OF the Sc.
lection of Judge Walter @. Gresham by
Mr.. Cleveland as his secretary of state
The senator very promptly refused to
give any opinion, upon the ground that
he would be called upon to pass upon
this selection in an executive session of
the senate. This being the case, it
would be ill-advised for him to at this
day talk about the matter for the news
papers. He absolutely refused to talk
about it,

he had governed was the old con fict be.
tween the rich and the poor. Leo had
carefully investigated the situation be-
fore he acted, and moved carefully. The
result was that within short time all
went we'll, trouble disappeared and
peace reigned.
The ability of Leo in government was
fully attested by the results he accom-
plished as delegate to Spoleto, Peru
gia. He was later sent as q papal nuncio
to Belgium, and here he showed marked
ability as diplomat. But his health
failed him, and he was forced to return
to Italy.
Since January 10, 1916, and up to Feb
rusry 20, 1878, Leo was the archbishop
OF Perugia, as Cardinal Joachim Pecci.
On February z, 1878, Pope Plus TX
passed away. On the second day of the
same month he had given his last allo-
cument to the cardinals.
The election of new pope had been
looked forward to with alarm, but the
conclave assembled in Rome without
difficulty. On February 18th the cardi-
mails to the number of go convened. On
the goth the cardinal archbishop of Pc
rugia-Joachi Pecci-received 45 votes,
an overwhelming majority, and was duly
declared Roman pontiff. He gave his
blessing in st. Peters, and was crowned
March 3, 1878, in that basilica.
