 graduates and a most thoughtful and touching address by the president Col. '-J. T. Murfee, who announced this as the twenty-ffth graduating class to whom f1e had given diplomas from this hall, prize medal for orthography was pre- sented by Rev. R. G. Patrick to Cadet Walkley. Capt. M. B. Boyd, one of the graduates, was expected to make this presentation speech, but illness prevent ed his doing so.
 A spirited contest for the soldiership medal now took place on the rostrum between eight cadets, four from each company, which ended in the medal be- ing awarded to Cadet W. Hawkins of Company B as the best drilled man. Be- fore these young men could enter this contest they had to have a record for perfect conduct during the entire ses- sion, so that their mere appearance on the stage was an honorable distinction. This medal was presented by Capt. w. D. Martin of the graduating class.
 In closing we would like to speak of the great educator Colonel Murfee, who is at the head of this institution, and whose twenty-five years of service here have been a glory to- Marion and to all Alabama We would like to speak of the work of the past session. which in many respects has been the most suc- cessful and the most useful during this quarter of a century; but space in a great daily is limited. Success to Colonel Mur- fee and the great institution over which he presides. -s---5-----=-=

MARION.
The Very Interesting Commencement Ex-
 e1cises of the Military Institute.

e1cises of the Military Institute.
 Marion, June 4.-(Special Correspond e.)-Marion is lovely and a lively city this week, with it's hundreds of vis- itors and its, varied round of entertain ments. Almost every home and all the hotels are full of guests, and everybody, young and old, seems to be getting a share of enjoyment.
 Monday the handsome grounds of the Marion Military institute were study for the artists brush. In the fore ground was the battalion of cadets 100 tall, fine looking young men, su- perbly officered and disciplined, perfect in all their movements and evolutionS; and in the background, under the semi circle of elms, watching with eager in terest the parade and drill of the battal- ion out in the open, were the beautiful and lovely women from every part of our glorious old state, their plumed hats and rich and gorgeous silk waists fur nishing the color and the brightness to the scene. The institute has never had a finer body of students nor a better drilled one.
 Tuesday one of the most interesting exercises of the week, the prize drill between Companies A and B, had to be abandoned on account of the heavy rain, which continued without abatement dur ing the whole of the afternoon and into the night. The rivalry between the two companies was very great, and the pub lie was greatly disappointed that the drill could not take place.
 Wednesday was commencement day, and in spite of the continued rain the chapel of the institute, the most com- modious hall in the city, was comfort ably filed The programme was as fol- lows:
 "Our New Foreign Policy" by Walter Lee Murfee, B. s.
 "The Cuban Rebellion" Harry Hall Bonner, B. s.
 "The Educational Influence of the Newspaper" Robert Clement French, graduate second degree.
 Some Sketches of Life in the Noun tains," Walter R. Looney, graduate sec ond degree.
 Some Thoughts on the Eastern Ques- tion," Earnest l.. Marbury, graduate sec ond degree.
 "The Benefit of the X Rays to Sci ence" Walter Rives, graduate second degree.
 "Our View of the Negro Question:" Jo- seph R. Avinger, graduate second degree
 Journalism as a Career" Mathew B. Boyd, graduate second degree.
 The speeches of these young men were excellent and delivered in the best pos sible style.

MORE POPULIST PURITY"
Jury Manipulation in Chiffon Is an Old Thing. The Grand Jury as Family
 Affair.

Clanton, June 5.-(Special Correspond ence.) .)-Referring to the special from Tuskaloosa relative to the quashing of venire of juries drawn for the last term of Tuskaloosa circuit court, will you kindly permit me to say that the little matters complained of in Tuskaloosa are common in Chiffon? We are used to it down here. @t
 The last grand jury empaneled at the term of court just closed contained six teen populites and two democrats, while the petit juries were in about the same proportion. At the fall term of 1895 there were no less than seven relatives of one of the commissioners and several others who were relatives of county officers, all populites, upon the grand jury. The pre- tence of drawing 6uries in Chiffon is mere farce.
 The jury system in, Chiffon seems to be used to protect offenders of single po- litical party, with no idea of punishing crime when committed by certain indi- viduals. .545z45.la

Indian Graves Unearthed at Lincoln-Wh
 Excavations Revealed.

Indian Graves Unearthed at Linco1n-What
 Excavations Revealed
 Lincoln, June 5.-(Special. )-Some of the old men and all the boys of Lincoln were very much entertained today in exhuming some Indians. Montgomery Bros. & Co. were making some excava- tions on lot in block B, where they are preparing to erect new business house, and here three graves were found. Sev- eral boys at once went to work with pick and spade and the ground was soon white with shells of various kinds and sizes. Fully three bushels of shells were thrown out of the three graves. Pieces of pots and other utensils and mementoes of the red man, one skull, two pieces of arm bones and one tooth were. carefully placed at one side for further examina- tion. But the boys were disappointed. They hoped to find pots of buried gold thinking they had probably discovered the burying place of Blue Eye, a noted chief of the Creek nation, but there was neither gold nor silver, and the poor sav- ages have been disturbed in their last sleep for no purpose save that of curiosi- ty and small desire to learn something concerning their customs and structure. MT. T. R. Burns who was In this coun- ty before the Indians left, said that their bones were red like those of fox squir- rel, but these bones are white and he concludes that age has deprived them of color.
 Judge J. c. Wilson was able to smell them and reminded the boys that the three unfortunates might have died of smallpox or Asiatic cholera This was considered a far-fetched warning, and the work went on till Walter Davis had satisfied his eagerness for digging and D. H. Goodwin had secured and housed all the bones and mementoes he wished. As the work of excavating progresses other graves will doubtless be discovered and examined. When curiosity has been satisfied it would be a beautiful tribute to the dead for our people to take the re- mains of these savages to our new cem- etery and erect monument to their memory.

 Decatur, June 5.-(Special) )-The Will liam Towles came to the wharf yesterday with light freight for this city, and the Luke Pryor, Dr., is down the river to fill special contract for freighting.
 Evangelist Huekabee's big tent could not hold the people who came to his meet ing last night. The subject of h.s sermon was Christian Influence" A large choir and good organist are effective features of these services. After a number of re- quests for prayer had been made by in- terested friends the evangelist led in the service, which lasted several minutes. The request for all church members in the congregation to rise showed a large element of church people present but the request for all Christians to stand showed a decided falling off in the numbers. When one man rose early in the meeting and said in broken English and good old shouting Methodist style that he wanted everybody to know that he was on the Lords side ripple of amusement started along the back seats, which was quickly suppressed by the evangelist's ready tact. The sermon which followed elicited the closest attention of the audience, many of whom were standing.
 The baseball park was the scene of a ball contest between the Huntsville and Decatur teams yesterday, resulting in a victory for the New Decatur team by a score of 8 to 6.
 The wheel races are said to have been spirited.
 About 10 p. m. last night Celia Hunt, a mulatto woman, was shot through the arm by Henry Blackwell, a negro em- ploye of the Decatur Ice factory. The shooting took place in a small tenement just in the rear of the First National bank, and had not the bullet been de- fiected by a door the woman would prob ably have been killed. The shooting is reported to have been the continuation of jealousy and a quarrel. The negro is said to have been drunk, and has made his
