y AAnother year, the most success
ful Of its career, has just been
brought to a close in the agricul-
tural college and school of science,
and on Thursday evening occurred
the grand finale, when class Of
twenty bright young men and wom-
en- were graduated from the prepar
atory department into the college
proper. The first class to be grad
uated from the college will be a
class Of eight next year.
The exercises Of the week were
ushered in Monday evening by the
ioint literary exercises of the Col
umbian and Washington literary
associations, the program being a
most excellent one Ihe exhibition
drill in the college auditorium Tues
day evening won The appreciation of
the large audience, the ring drill,
by twenty-four young ladies, under
the direction Of Capt. Boozer, being
especially interesting, not a mistake
being made in the intricate move
ments. The cadet drill, club swing
ing and music were likewise all eX-
cellent.
Thursday evening the large coll
ege auditorium was crowded till not
an inch of standing room was left,
the attraction being the twenty
sweet young girls and manly young
men who we're to graduate from the
preparatory department. The grad
uatfng exercises were of an excel
lence that bespeaks the superior
work done in the college, and the
high character of the students do
ing the work, and amid banks Of
flowers, the air laden with the sweet
perfume Of rose and carnation, the
youth and maiden won the applause
and admiration of their assembled
friends. Owing to the number in
the class. only ten of the graduates
were able to take part, with essay
or grafton, in the exercisaM but
they, with the music with Which
the exercises were interspersed,
made long though intensely inter
esting program Each graduate
was fairly deluged with flowers,
emblamatic of the Iaurels won by
hard and unceasing labor The
program Was as follows.

Fulmer and Harvey.

A Denial.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 14.-When
seen at his Office this morning, Mr.. w.
F. Harrity was indispsed to discuss the
political situation and declined to ex-
press himself as to platform or candi-
dates. Mr.. Harrity, however, did make
the following statement "Since my re-
turn to Philadelphia my attention has
been called to report sent out from
Chicago during the convention week to
the effect that / had declared that am
democrat and after that am sound
money man. There is no founda-
lion whatever for such a statement.
1t is a pure invention, and the edi-
torials based on it, which appeared in
some of the Philadelphia, Boston and
New York newspapers, are both unjust
and unwarranted. 81 am democrat
and sound money man, too," contin-
ued Mr.. Harrity, 'not afterwards but
at the same time. And shall do moth
ing whatever during the coming cam
paign that can properly be regarded
as surrender of my convictions upon
the currency question or upon any
other vital question"

PARIS, July 14.-While President
Faure was entering the grounds al
Longchamps to-day for the purpose o.
reviewing the troops man standing
near him fired revolver. Great ex-
element ensued and the man was i'm
mediately seized and disarmed. He de-
clared that he had not fired at the presi'
dent and that he had only fired blank
cartridge. When it was seen that the
president had not been injured the
crowd cheered him again and again.
ROME, July 1.-THE Marquis de
Rudini has reconstructed the Italian
Ministry. the marquis retaining the

performed in st. Georges Church, Han
over Square. Hon. Thomas F. Bayard,
United States Ambassador, gave the
bride away and Hon. Chauncey NJ.

TUESDAY EVENING, JULY IA, 1896.

THE reason assigned by some of the
Tirginians for opposing the election OF
their party's regularly and fairly nom
mated national ticket, is the assertion
that the platform upon which that
ticket stands, by declaring for the free
coinage of silver, lisa repudiating meas
ure, and consequently calculated to im'
pair the credit and reputation of the
country. They evidently have more
regard for the country's credit and rep
utation than they have for their States,
for with only one exception, SO far as
heard of, all of them favored the en-
forced settlement of their States debt
upon the plan by which about one-half
of it was repudiated. If people
want to leave the democratic, and join
the republican party, they have the
right TO do so, and no fair minded man
objects, and no man has any right to
ask them their reasons for so doing,
and certainly no body can compel them
TO state those reasons; but, when they
volunteer to give reasons, such reasons,
for their own reputation, should at
least be plausible.

TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

During severe electrical storm last
evening at Lisbon, Ohio, the home of
Robert Little was struck by lightning.
Mr.. Little was instantly killed. His
clothing was torn from his body. Other
members of the family were severely
shocked. Other buildings were also
struck.
Three white men were found last
Thursday morning hanging to limb
near Reagan, few miles from Tishom-
lingo, 1. T. The men were strangers in
the neighborhood and it is believed
that they were horse-thieves, who were
followed and captured by party of
Texans and swung up.
An extra freight train on the Fitch
burg road was wrecked just east of
Concord junction, Mass, about five
o'clock this morning. Five cars olive
stock and two of dressed beef were piled
up on end. Both the main tracks were
completely blocked. Many head Of
cattle, hogs and calves were killed.
