proving of Iron HaIl claims, and on
Tuesday Judge Winters will begin their
adjudication. Judge T. L. Arms and
g. A. Lyon of New York, representing
the branches in that State, called on Che

between the New York branches and
the Binghamton receivers. Tho latter
demand that all the funds in that State

forwarded to the indianapolis receiver,
but the branches do not want to do this,
The court did not grant the petition,
however, and New York members will
not share in the dividends.
The Missouri funds have arrived here.
They amount to $4,000. The courts at
Cincinnati have ordered the funds there
to be turned over at once, which will
add $4,000 to Receiver Failey's pile,
Word was also received here to-day that
the Massachusetts courts have ordered
the $3.50, 900 reserve fund of the Massa-
chusetts branch of the Iron Hall be

The Journal says that President

discipline.
Heretofore there has been to much
business in selling bicycles, type
writer's, ETC., by the Professors, too
little instruction by the faculty and
no discipline at all. We hope the
business ideas of the new President
won't run to bicycles and typewriters
and that the faculty will attend to
their duties or be dismissed by the
