COMMENCEMENT AT MILLERSVILLE.
Yesterday Afternoon Eezerciaes at the Nor Ner
mal Scheel Tlie Graduating Class.
The large dining room of the Nermal
was taxed te its utmost capacity at neon
yesterday. The rain, which fell in sheweis
early in the morning, ceased about ten
o'clock, and from that time en visitors be
jpin peurimr in se that by neon the crowd
that had gathered te hear the morning
excerciscs had been reinforced nearly one
half its number.
At 1:30 o'clock the graduates filed up
the center aisle and took their seats in
fient, although long ere that time the
chapel was being rapidly filled by specta
tor. After a chorus, "Pour out your
Sparkling Treasures, " from Rebert le Di
able, rendered by a club. Miss Dera E.
Rogers was the first speaker te make an
appearance. " Possibilities " was the sub
ject, she had chosen, and she appeared te
grasp the idea of her theme and adhered
te it closely. Although the audience had
net become perfectly quiet yet, shesucceded
in making herself heard in all parts of the
chapel and seen gained the attention of
the audience and maintained it te the
close. The possibilities of life, she said,
are infinite. Tlicic arc possibilities for
geed and for evil. The acorn drops te the
gieund and finds lodging in the earth, the
tiny genu springs up, and finally when
time has continued his ceaseless whhl it
will have grown impregnable and lift its
head in proud supremccy as monarch of
the forest. Thus it is in life, the child, a
flower fiem heaven, will rise up
and be among the great and noble
or the earth. He may make hi name
iinmeital through the medium of ait
and science, or even if he be net one of
Fortune's favored sons, he may live a
happy, honorable life. In this strain Miss
Rogers strung many line pearls of thought
en
her thread of argument. Often, sue
s.iid, in life there is a far beginning, but
before the development into pci feet man
has taken place the being is contaminated
in his gi ewth by ciicumstances. It is the
duty of all te fulfil the brightest possibili
ties of their nature. It is in the power of
eveiyene te become wiser, nobler. As time
passes away se all nations learn and exe
cute the law of truth and right, and learn
te live honestly and peaceably. We, who
stand te-day among the highlands, bave
caught a glimpse- of culture and thought.
May its beauties lead us en until we reach
tlie highest possibilities of our natures.
May we learu te cultivate the geed, te
ciush evil; and whatever may come te
us in the great unknowii,citheref power or
portion, may we prove ourselves true citi
zens of the gieat republic of America.
Next en the pregramme was a piano
sole, lhill.ulc A Flat, Op. 47 (Chepin),
and was admirably executed by C K.
Moiitgemeiy.
' Scnitchcis' was the subject of an ora
tion by W. I. Hibbs. In introducing his
.subject he said that never was there
a tunc in the history of our country
when calm, independent and leso lese
iiiti ti-sishmcR te wild and danger
eus popular fallacies was mere needed
then new. The question thet most inter
csst us te-day is some method that will
secure against thedangeis of partisanship.
The days of negre slavery arc past and
the bells of our national jubilee have
sounded and yet we are slaves; slaves te
a party. The cry of the politician is
reform within the paity. Better suppeit
a bad nominee than the ether paity, and
many a geed and holiest man allows him
self te be led te support a man who is te
pieteet the interests of the whole nation,
and who he would net mist m
any ether position. Popular en
dorsement does net make a bad principle
weithy of support. It is only the mere
dangerous and should encounter mere ac
tive" resistance. It is the "scratchcis'
that arc the country's salvation. AVitliin
six weeks thousands of young men have
gene out from our colleges te help shape
the future of their state and uatien. How Hew
many Clays, or Sumneis, or Bayards will
history lcceid when each should be as
weithy and as noble! All honor te the
a i my of "scratchcis." There is net the
hollow sounding title of reform, for their
weik has proven that honesty in politics is
te gain recognition. May their weik be
aided and encouraged uutil evciy dishon
est eflicesceker shall have been consigned
te obscurity.
"Believe Me," a trio from Verdi's
"Attila." was sung by Miss Westlake
and Messrs. Sample and Montgomery.
Miss Rese Stewart' was the second lady
te appear in the i ole of an orator. She had
a commanding presence, a geed voice, and
an earnest manner. Taking for her sub
ject, " What shall wc de with our old
folks ?" she said this is the question of the
century. If some of us young folks go te
a lecture or concert for a little laik, le and
beheld ! there are some of the old folks,
eying us with their great, seiieus and re
proving eyes. Thus it is at church. Our
movements are always criticised.
The trouble with our old folks is that they
arc behind the age and arc as much out of
fashion as their coats and bonnets. The
jeung folks like te dress in the newest
lstles. Why,
We piugc our leet, we singe our hair,
W scn-w it up with pins ;
Oh, neei met till Mitlcicd mere.
In pcnsuiee ler her sins."
When we get a new dress we want a full
pattern twenty yards at least, and then
we must have the proper trimmings. But
grandmother reminds us that when she
was a girl five yaids would suffice. And
these geed old folks are se inconveniently
careful of us, tee. And they are se care
ful about the company we keep, just as if
we couldn't take care of ourselves. If
they could only have a world all te them
selves. Why ain't they have a room set
apart for them in every house? Then we
could de as wc pleased. After making
free use of satire and ridicule, Miss Stew
art assumed a serious phase. But
there will be times when the follies
of fashionable life lese their charms and
disappointment throws a damp ever our
spirits and the heait gees out in a longing
for our childhood ; when wc fain would
creep up te that lovely room, climb upon
the paternal kucc and feel the loving kiss
of that dear old mother upon our cheeks.
Yes, there me times when when wc can't
de without the old folks, and it may be,
after all, that wc young folks are in the
wrong. Therefore, though wc are giddy
and thoughtless, and can't help smiling at
the old fashioned ways of our old folks,
yet away down in our hearts wc love them
dcaily, and we say in the langurge of the
immortal Rip Van Wiukle, " May they
live long and be happy. "
A piano duet, "Ajos Ciielles" (Gott (Gett
schalk), was next in order. Misses fiber
man and Davis presided at the iustiument
and gave evidence that they were talented
pet formers.
'"Controlling Influences" were defined
by Frank P. Eberman. It would net be
tee much te say that men of reputation as
thinkers frequently present no better pro
ductions. In clearness and completeness it
was net wanting. He said, in the records
of time we find some influence controlling
events of great moment. It is a law,
an innate requirement inherited from
Ged himself, that nothing can ex
ist without a controlling power, a
great luminary, as it were, around which
lesser lights can gather and dispense their
benefits. This law holds tiue in every
particular. We are Americans and be
lieve in being controlled by the iuilunce of
our name. We intend te have American
customs and patriotism. America sepa
rates religion from the state and in its
mighty influence lies the bread basis of
hope Te these who study the actual and
piespective condition of the United States
our political system is also a principal con cen
sei vath e influence. The various improve
ments in the arts and science add
peculiarly te eui lustre and
strength. Dwelling te some extent en
the rapid progress being made by the
American people and repeating the advice
of Washington te the present generation,
Mr. Ebciiiuii said : Great father of your
ceuntiy, wc heed your words. We will
net, we can net, dare net betray your
tiust. He closed with the following quo
tation : "The bow that gilds the clouds in
the heavens, the pillars that upheld the
fumament may disappear and fall away in
the hour appointed by the will of Ged ;
but until that dav comes, or se long as
our lives may last, no liithless hand shall
utideiminc that bright aich of union and
liberty which spans the county from
Washington te California."
"Miss Anna V. Peebles sang a vocal
sole from Bellini's "La Sennambula."
Miss Peebles is gifted w ith a sweet voice,
well cultivated and adapted te operatic
singing.
Miss Clara B. Walker, the smallest
member of the class, delivered an
oration en "I Dare.'' The delivery
was exceedingly goeJ, the voice being
loud and clear, mellowed by a certain soft
ness of tone, the pronunciation distinct,
anil she had complete command et'heisclf.
What power, sheaigued, lies in the two
simple weids, "I Dare," spoken as they
may be, with geed or evil intent. Coining
in careless badinage from the lips of the
thoughtless, they may spread abroad an
evil eil'eet. But. fraught with the high
moral coinage of him wheuttcis them,
swelling out with his pure, firm princi
ples, they leave him for a noble purpose,
te bring a benison of success, or, if failure
net entire less, for
" Though the held be let.
All is net le-t : the uiiLemiuuialilc ill
Ami reurnge never le submit or yield."
It is te tlie strong minds and brave hearts
that we as a nation ewe our happiness. In
eveiy ciiclc wc find tee much acting from
impure motives. This is confined net
only te the weak. It is found among men
of whom wc expect something nobler.
In youth are feuud the habits that lead te
the subsequent character el life, lheie
fmft te the veunir we especially say, cling
fast te jour principles. The"Idaie'"
spirit planted firmly in youth will aid in
fei ining a charactci that will cury you
safely through the whole jeuincy of life.
It will guaid a Christian faith and insure
the lew aid that is certain te him who cu
diireth unto the end.
! no le le.ill that ni.i hi tonic a man,
he tlaits de nunc i- none."
After a piano duet, " Den Juan" (Me-
.ail-Ljsbeig), by Misses Watsen and
Westlake, Prof. A. It. Byeily, acting piin-
cinal in the absence of Dr. Brooks new in
Europe, in a short speech feimally presen
ted the diploma" te the class, w he had as
cended the platform and seated themselves
in a double semi-circle aieung the stage,
the ladies en the light and gentlemen en

The valedictory oration, by Miss Mary
Whitson, was last en the pi egi amine. Her
subject was "Heirs of all Ages." W
emit the oration and piiut an extract from
her farewell remarks. After bid
ding farewell te the trustees, fa
culty and students, she said :
" Acress the ejean wc send a fend fare
well. Just four weeks age we clasped the
baud that had led us ever many a thorny
r.).ul. A principal though absent in per
son is present in spirit te-day. Anxiously
does he await the news from the normal, a
place se dear te his noble heart, and tcn
deily does he think of this little band that
is going forth te meet no mere as a class.
Fer nine long months we met him daily
in the class room, and the lessens of wis
dom and morality taught by him arc in
delibly stamiicd upon our memories, and
will have an untold influence en our lives
and actions.
Tinning te the class, Miss Whitson said:
" And classmates, the parting words must
be said. We have fought side by side for
a whole year and have shared each ether's
triumphs. We have drunk with pleasure
at the same fountain, and wandered by
the same streams, and new we
'Stand vv itti lelrctant feet
Whei e the bioek and liver meet.'
" We meet te-day for the last time, hav
ing successfully fought the battles here ;
may we meet with the same success
through life, and at its cksi may we hear
the words, 'Well done thou geed and
faithful servant.'
" We stand new at the dawn of life. Its
horizon is lighted up with the rays of the
sun flashing athwart the cloudless sky. If
LANCASTER DAILY IKTfiUlGENCER FBlDAY
the morning is an earnest of the day our
career will be a bright en. May pur lives
be as the generous sunshine dispensing
light and life and gladness te everything,
and never clouded; or, if obscure for a
time, only te break forth with new bril
liancy. Trustees, teachers, friends, stu
dents, classmates, farewell !"
After the singing of the doxology, the.
audience was dismissed, and the com
mencement exercises of 1880 of Millers-
ville state normal school were ever.

HEAVY BAIN bTOBM.
Gas Bun Ov erilew u Damage Dene at the
Gas Works and Elsewhere.
About neon te-day Lancaster and vicini
ty was visited by an unusually heavy storm
of ram, which, fortunately was of short
duration. Had it been longer much damage
probably would have resulted. Gutters in
in all parts of the city were evei flown, the
flood of water in many places extending
from cuib te curb. In some places the
pavements were oveiflewn and the cellars
were flooded with water.
The large sew er in Seuth Water street
was net of sufficient capacity te carry off
all the water and in the vicinity of Ger
mansticets was overflow n. Gas run from
that point south was a raging torrent from
eight te ten feet above its usual level.
Just north of the old gas company's
weiks, panels of fence wcie carried off,
which steed ten or twelve feet above the
stream. The grounds all around the gas
weiks feimed quite a lake, the great piles
of coke were washed away, and the water
still rising entered the gas weiks ami
drowned out two or three flies in the
furnaces en the northern side, but doing
no seiieus damage.
The flood covered Water street in front
of A. A. Myers & Ce.'sand entered one of
the buildings but did no great damage.
The bridge at the entrance or Schoen Scheen
berger's paik was overflewn and partly
washed away and the read running through
the pirk te C. B. Wackcr & Bie's brewery
was oveiflewn and formed a part of the
gieat torrent, and seven of Mr. Wacker's
laige beer butts, w hick were thought te
be far above high water mark, were swept
down the stream. The stone wall en either
side of the run below Myers's tannery was
partly washed away, and the potato patch
toil feet above was flooded.
The Quarry ville railroad bridge that
spans the run some distance further down
was removed from its foundation several
inches, but ethciwisc was net much dam
aged. The track of the railroad from this
point te the Conestoga bridge is much
washed. Residents along the inn, as well
as the officers of the gas weiks, say that
they never knew the inn te be se high as
it was te-day.
The quantity of water which gathered
at the corner of Walnut stiect and Aich
alley was se laige that the sewcis could
net carry it off. The water flowed evei
the pavements and l an into the cellais of
almost eveiy house between Water and
Mulbcriy streets. The damage at this
point was net great with the exception of
dampening the cellais. Several cellais
en Aich alley, below Walnut street, were
flooded.
W. T. O'Brien resides en Charlette
street, between Lemen and Walnut. His
house is en the east side of the street,
about the middle of the square, and is
somewhat lower than the pavement from
which it stands in some distance. Near
the house is a sewer whieh was tee
small te be of much use during the flood.
The water ran thuugli Mr. O'Brien's
house, going in at the front deer and out
at the back. The carpets, fcc., were ruined
by the water. A house next te that of
Mr. O'Brien has ccller full of watcr,as has
one en the oppeside of the street.
On West Orange street near Chai lotto a
number of houses en the south side have
their cellars full of water.
The water did considerable damage te
the premises of Jacob Kilhefler, Mrs. Man
cy and Henry Decrr, en the west side of
Water street, between Chestnut and
Orange. Running through these proper
ties there is a small stream of water which
lises somewhere in the northwestern part
of the city and empties into the Water
street sewer a few yaids below Mr. Deeri's
residence. - This stream has a number of
sewers connecting with it and carries a
great deal of water through its channel
te the large sevverr Te-day, owing te the
heavy rainfall this stream lese te a tre
mendous height and there was an over
flow. The water was at least three feet
deep in the yards of Mis. Maney and Mr.
Kilhefler, and the cellars of both houses
are full, almost level with the pavements.
In Mr. Kilhcfl'er's cellar the tubs wash
boards and ether wooden articles aie
floating around in the water and the coal
is covered. Laige railroad ties which cov
ered the stream in the yard of Mrs. Maney
were lifted off by the force of the water.
Her yaul was also badly damaged.
NARROW ESCAPE.
A Man Whirled Around a Shaft ami ht lipped
Naked.
About 11 o'clock te-day as Philip Gra-
bill, 232 Seuth Water htieet, was working
in his machine shop lie had occasion te
threw a belt en the wheel that runs his
planing machine. In putting en the belt,
his shut-sleeve caught en abet screw in
the shaft and in a twinkling the revolving
shaft, which was making thice hundred
revolutions a minute, began te wind him
up. With all liis power lie resisted,
and his shirt being pietty well worn
gave way and was tern from his
body. But at the same instant
his pantaloons were also caught by
the head of the screw and despite his strugj
gles, 3lr. Grabill was drawn once or
twice around the shaft, and then hurled
against the case of tlie turbine weeel by
winch the machinery is run. Every stitch
of clethinz had been tern from his body
except his hoot ! and yet he was net veiy
seriously injured, a few cuts aud bruises
about the head and face and sonie heavy
thumps in the ribs being the extent of his
injuries. His clothing when picked from
the machinery was a sight te beheld. Had
it beeu tern from his body by the claws of
a wild beast it would net have been mere
tattered.
Kcuben Albright, who was working in
the 8hop,stepped the machinery as seen as
it could be done.

Dkab Sib I am an old man, seventy-seven
years of age, and for three or four years I have
had Diabetes, which kept growing worse and
worse. I discharged an enormous amount of
water, the quantity seeming te Increase week

less, forced me te think that I must seen die,
which I certainly should have done bad I net

When aboard of eminent physicians and

combining some well known valuable reme
dies, the most wonderful medicine was pro
duced, which would cure such a wide range of
diseases that most all ether remedies could be

New Yerk, July 16. Cox was banged
at 8:37 a. m. He died ia sixteen minute'.
jSefere Um Execatiea.
Cox passed a quiet night, retiring be
tween 11 and 13, and falling into a deep
slumber before 2 o'clock. A few minutes
past 5 o'clock he awakened and quickly
arose. He did net exhibit fear in the
slightest degree. He spoke te no one,
being apparently engaged in mental
prayer.
At 5:80 he called for the minister, and
Rev. Mr. Cook came in. Cox shook hands
with him cordially. After religious exer
cises the culprit ate a hearty breakfast
after which prayer was resumed and con
tinued until the arrival of the sheriff and
deputies.
The Negro Die Game.
At 8 o'clock Cox wearing the black cap,
with the noose dangling from his neck,
and his arms pinioned, was taken from the
cell te the gallows. He walked with a firm
step, and as the precession neared the gal
lows he looked at it with seeming cool
ness. Taking his station beneath the cross cress
piece, and standing en the Belgian pave
ment, he dropped his eyes and his lips
moved in prayer, white the noose,' dangling
from his neck, was hooked te the pendent
rope and the black cap drawn ever his
face. There was only an instant of sus
pense, when, at 8:37, at a signal from the
sheriff, the executioner, hidden behind a
beard screen, cut with an axe the cord
holding the weight. Cox's body wan jerk
ed four feet into the air, and in settling
down displayed contortions, indicative of
strangling. A minute later he was still,
and in sixteen minutes he was pronounced
dead.
