FRANKLIN. Ind. June l2-At s o'clock
this morning meeting of the stockholders
was held for the purpose OF electng direc-
tors and attending TO other business. Pres
ident Stott and Rev. c. NJ. Carter were re-
elected TO succeed themselves on the board
of directors for another three years, while
). d. BUTTE and L. NJ. Challe were sue
ceeded by A. F. Curtis and Rev =. O. Dun
can, of this city. The old officers of the
board were reelected. A considerable dis
cussion arose in considering the report
Oh the committee on organization.
At different times there has been talk look
ing TO reorganization of the Franklin Col
lege Association, and the present discussion
was along that line. The association, as it
Is now composed. represents a capital stock
of something like 500 900, divided into shares
OF 500 each. In many cases a large number
OF these shares are held by single individ-
should not be permitted. AS at present
conducted, the college is in reality much of
a private institution, and the argument is
denomination, should have a portion of the
control over the institution. The present
management. however, was heartily in
probable that steps will be taken to increase
the capital stock of the association, since
the assets are over 100000.
The event of all-absorbing interest for
the day were the class day exercises in
the opera house this morning. Considera-
BILE talk as to the probable action of the
class had been engaged in, and it was
no surprise TO the five hundred or more
waiting and expectant people in the house
that a concert would be given by foreign
talent. A highly interesting musical pro-
gramme was rendered by the Arens Con-
