Tfce hour at w blch tbe exercises were held
at the high tcfcoela en Friday was tee lata
for report of remarka rnadetewardatheend
of the pregramme. Mr. Wm. McCemsey,
of the executive committee of the school
bsard, thanked the echoel vary heartily for
their delightful musle ; Kev. E. L. Heed,
wboiahlmseli a geed musician, did net
think that anywhere else In the atata waa
there a musical prngramme cqnal of excel
lence e'a thla Arber Day. Mr. Jas. C. Gable
oeuimended the action of the beya of the
graduating clans and spoke of the benefit
te the Individual from bla personal lntereat
In plant growth and hli love of nature.
Mr. J. P. McCaskey read an extract from an
Old newipaper, and spoke et the cemetery
adjoining the echoel, hla remarka being
much as fellows :
In a copy of the Lancaster Intklli Intklli
eencer, bearing date Wednesday April 30,
1800, which one et the beya left at the desk
a few days since, I And tbls paragraph, no
doubt taken from a Philadelphia paper of
that early day :
"Te tbe Inhabitant of the cities In the
United Stales en the planting et treee near
tueir dwelling homes, In the streets and In
public squares:
"The inhabitants et the oltles In the
Unites State, ritid principally of Philadel
phia, are Bulllclently convinced of the pro pre pro
aiicleus advantages arising Irem treea
planted In the streets and publle squares,
They are one of the first causes et the
salubrity et tbe air; because the branches
and leaves bave the property et collecting
and absorbing the mephlile exhalations
common in thoeutnmersoason. The shade
of trees cools tbe air and keeps the heat of
the sun and the dust from tbe houses. It
will also sflerd great comfort te laboring
men working in the street?, and te passers
by, who. when the streets are entirely un
shaded, re consequently exposed te the
toetcblng-bost of thesuu. A beuse the
front whereof Is planted with treea, might
be rented or Beld mere advantageously
than another net se; hence tbe treea are
net only an ornament but of real profit"
,Etghty-elgbt years age, as we see, the
INTULLIOEXCER Wat giving Bpace te this
matter. It is doing the same te-day as are
all Its contemporaries te most excellent
purpose
Acting upon a suggestion of Mr. Gable,
the practical man of our high school force,
made te tbe school en last; spring Arber
Day, the boys of tbe graduating class of
Jhls year bave selected the streets along
Shrelnef'a cemetery but n short distance
lrem the school for tree-planting. They
have also provided boxes for tbe treea
already growing there. It is hoped that
tbe result may, In a few years, r-peak for
Itself and for the lada who have taken this
matter under tbelr care. This, we trust,
may lead te an Interest In the cemetery, en
tbe part of tbe school, which shall aid In
restoring something of Its old time attractive
nesa,
It is fitting that this place should be
chosen by tbe class, for the tomb et Thad
deus Stevens Is bore, a champion of free
dom and cf the common soheols. As baa
first been said, we Bball hope that ether
planting will be done here until this "Ged's
Acre," te wbleh lerera of freedom come
that tbey may leek upon the grave of the
great Commener, shall seem mere worthy,
from the quiet beauty of Its surroundings,
te be the honored spot where repose the
ashes of a lovler in ene of the meat
momentous struggles or might against
manhood et which history makes record.
Here alie is a monument te the memory
et F. J. Krampb, a man about whose grave
fair llawers should bloom, and near whleh
awest birds should sing amid tbe branehes
of noble treet. Tblrty five years age, he
planted with geed judgment and excellent
taste, his private grounds en the corner of
Chestnut and Charlette Btreete, new the
Franklin grounds. Tblrty years age be
died, but tbe trees grew en and they are to
day an InOnttely better memorial than
marble. Fer a quarter et a century, tbe
result et bis work, In tbls apparently small
direction of tioe pUntlng.ha been a seurce
of dally enjoyment te hundreds of passers
by who are men and women, better and
happier in seme degries at least because
thereof. It were but fitting that tbe spot
in which his asbe6s He burled, distant a
hundredyarda or mero from tbe trees he
planted should be ene et tbe most attrac
tive In tbe elty.
Tbls cemetery is also tbe burial place et
Jehn W. Jacksen, another well-known and
most honored citizen of Lancaster, whose
life was olesoly Identified for many yeara
with the general direction et our publle
schools. We knew him long as lamlllar ac
quaintance and personal friend. Very early
In the history of tbe schools be became
deeply Interested In their purpose and re
sults, both realized and prospective, and
thenceforward be was tbelr lallbtul soldier
and servant te bis lire's end. What man
that knew him well but recalls bis memory
with tender respect and with a feeling of
regard tbat Is near akin te peritenei affection?
Thoughtful, patient, a man of keen dU dU
cernment, bread charity, generous impulse,
and geed life let bU memory he kept
green I
Why may net Ibis place fce msde te attraet

old Martin Sbreluet'a hand, who made It a
' garden of bluem In our boyhood memories,
and whose name Is alie here upon one of

truth." The speakers en the sfllrmatlve
were Mlas Nannie McCulloch and Mr. A.
B. Butt ; en the negative, Mr. E. E. Mich Mich
ener and Be v. J, Berg Essen weln. Tbe

ically held thla net te be se. It fiction waa
best, our sciences would net be tbe truths
aa studied, but merely eterlca of flotlen.
Rather tban read flotlen, read standard bi
ography and philosophy. General debate

A NOVEL CASE.
Jehn K. Wolf was heard by the court en
acharge et being an absconding apprentice.
Wolf was an Indentured approntleo of the
Keystone Stsndard Wateh company, and
oe February last left without the consent of
tbe company, went te Jersey City, where
he worked for two menthr; then he went te
Waterbury, Conn., after whleh he return
ed te Lancaster, at the Instance of Superin
tendent Bltner, te work at the wateh fac
tory. Soen afterwards he was arrested for
dlaerderly conduct and a second time ar
retted for being an unruly apprentice.
The testimony of the wateh factory of
ficers auewed tbat he was a disobedient
apprentice, refused te obey the orders cf
the foreman and interfered with ether em em
peoyes In the discharge of tbelr dutlea. Tbe
defense was tbat tbe terms of the indenture
were net carried out and tbat dnrlng all of
tbe time he was at work at the factory he
was kept en one kind of work, and wben
he asked for promotion he wsa relused and
then he gave Mr. Bltner notice be would
leave, and he did leave two woeka after
wards. Yeung Wolf admitted that Mr.
Bluer told him that If he left be must take
the consequence?. It was shown by tbe
testimony of a number of persons who
worked In the same room that Wolf was
no mere uniuly tban any of the ether ap
prentices. The court decided that the apprentice Is
In defauir, but said tbat te sentence him

After great excitement, whleh runaways

Mr. Jeseph D. Potts, of Phllsdelphls,
fermsrly president elthe Empire Trans
portation oempany, which was bought out
by the Pennsylvania Railroad oempany la
1877, was the first witness In ths trust Inves
tigation before ths Heuse oemmtttM en
manufactures Friday morning.
The witness testified that the Eeaplra
company al waya treated all members of ths
trade absolutely alike, and that there never
had been any aerleua complaint against It
of discrimination In lbs oil bnslness. The
company became Interested In refining In
order te protect their transportation busi
ness. The PenmylvsnU railroad, with
which the Empire oempany has contract,
informed tbe oempany that Its oentrsot
would be terminated, and gave them ths
opinion of aelllng out. He did net knew
It personally, but his theory waa tbat the
Standard had auggeated the purchase te
tbe Pennsylvania railroad, alleging that a
transportation oempany ought net te de a
refining business.
Daniel O'Day, et Buffalo, general mana
ger of the National Tran.lt company, one
et tbe Standard'a branches, testified that
tbe American Transfsr company, a former
pipeline cempsnv, of wbleh be wSs an
r nicer, received 22ij cents par barrel draw,
back from the Pennsylvania railroad ea all
oil shipped.
Referring te the matter of the transper
tatien of oil from Msekaburg, O., te
Marietta, O., tbe witness was questioned
with respect te alleged discrimination
against Mr. Geerge Rlee and ethers In favor
of the Standard Oil company by the
Cleveland & Marietta railroad, aa de
veloped in a reesnt sup,. Wltntsi said that
the railroad agreed te a dlvlsleu of rates,
whleh division, ha believed, wss 20 cents
te the Standard and 15 eenta te ths railroad.
The railroad also agreed te give the Stand
ard 20 cents a barrel en all oil shipment by
ether persons, end msde an accounting
thereunder, but tbe money was refunded
by the Standard en advlee of counsel tbst
It waa Illegal. When the Mackaburg oil
field was discovered the Standard Intended
te lay a pipe line te Martlnetta. The rail
company, en beating et this, solicited tbe
Standard net te parallel their lines, and
cfiered te make arrangement apoken of,
wbleh was acceded te bv the Standard.
Henry M. Flagler, of New Yerk elty, I
one of the original Htandard oil men end I
secretary or the ejianaara uu trust, gave a
history et the Standard Oil oempany of
Ohie, its acqulsltleu from time te time of
ether refineries and oil works, by purebsse
for cash or stock in tbe Stsndard, and of
tbe various transactlena leading up te the
formation of tbe Standard oil trust Tbe
capitalisatien of tbe Standard OU trust at
the present time is 190,000,000 and the mar
ket value of each $100 of the capital ateek la
about S 100, making the total value et the
trust f 141000,000.
Tbe dividends for 1837 were 10 per cenL
en the espltal stock. The average divi
dends bad been 7 per cent and the average
earnlnga 13 per cent Out of tbe surplus
stock dividends had been In part declared.
J. 1). Arobbeld, ene el tbe truateeaet the
Standard OU Trust, aatd the contracts be
tween tbe railroads and the Standard for the
transportation of oil were aeldem, if ever,
reduced te writing. Witness oeuld net
remember the highest amount cf rebate
ever paid tbe Standard en shipments te
tidewater. Tbe Standard Trust controlled
about 76 per cenL of the oil business.
After a short recess Mr. Arohbeld re
sumed bis testimony and stated tbat the
evidence given in regard te the amount of
rebates allowed the Standard OU Trust was
absurd. He denounced as false the charges
tbat the trust pstd part et the rebates back
te tbe railroad ofllelals.

tion of Mr. Archbela, et the Standard OU

emphatically declined te give tbe amounts
of salaries paid Dy theoe'iipany,
Benjamin Brewater, of the Standard com
pany, said he would decline te give tbe
names of tbe minority stockholders of tbe
companies that had been merged In tbe
Standard. He bad been somewhat mis
represented, hn said, by Mr. Kirk, a former
witness. He ( lirewster) did net believe in
sharp practice ; no body of men could
h fleet tbe fundamental pnlnclplea of trade.'
It would be tbe worst possible policy for tbe
Standard te put up tbe price of oil.
Mr. Brewster was Informed that be must
eppcar belere the committee en TuiaJay

graph en Monday that tbe committee de
cided tbat be need net answer tbe question
as te;the names of tbe minority stockholders
