At Charlottevviiie there was an inv

It gives mc great pleasure to receive
the greeting of the people of Clul i lottes

I'uivi rsity of Virginij. Your Institiilinii
is linked with great nauies and great
deeds and lins infill, need both. What
an array of unmoital names' Virginia
holds in her keeping to remind us of lofty
patriotism, broad stalesiiiaimliip and no
ble aehievemenis. To no other state of
the American Union belongs such his
tory to pres. rve and cherish and such e
ample to inspire and pinnliite. May the
young men of the state of Virginin prova
forthy sons of their noble ancestors and
contribute ill the future as they did in
the past to the well-being nml honor and
glory or the republic. Let me assure joa,
young nun. that the past and present
bold rich reward tar gisnl scholarship,
high character and noble endeavor; and
the wish which I leave with you is that
you may have your full share
There were calls for Secretary liny,
but his only response was to Introduce
Postmaster Oencral Smith, who said:
"This seems TTordly a kindly serlvce to In
performed by the latest secretary of state
in 4he home of the first great secretary
of state of the United States.
The present secrctarj worthily perpet
uates the literary fame and tbe stntos
manlike achievement of the first great
secretary who lived here and planned
this I nivcrsily of irtima. I recall that
for many years the chief office in my de
partment of the public service in the city
of Charlottesville was a noble woman.
the daughter r a Union nfllccr and the
wife of a Confederate officer. She was
first appointed by General Grant and
when in the early years of the first ad
ministration of President Mi Kiiiley the
suggestion was made of a change, he
answered: 'No, I will remove no one ap
pointed by General Grant who preserve
such memories. "
Mr. Smith's reference was to Mrs.
Long, who was appointed postmistress
of Charlottesville by General Grant. She
was the ilaui;hter of General Sumner of
the Union army and vidow or General
Long of the Confederate army. Mrs.
Long dieil some months ago.
In the city of Lynchburg, the home of
Senator Punic!, Ihere was a stop of 10
minutes. Senator Panic', Mayor O. W.
Smith, member of the board of trade
and city council and a great crowd greet
ed the party with old-raxhioued Virginia
enthusiasm.
Senator Panicl made a speech or wel
come, in which the president responded.
The president said: I am very glad
not only to meet the people of the city
of Lynchbutg. but to lie presented by
your distinguished senator. It is a mat
ter of no public interest, hut only one of
tho pure personal recollection that 4he
first time I ever tried to come to Lynch
burg I did net succeed. I came here
with a uiiuilier of other gcuetlemen who
sought entrance, but the gates were
closed.
We could not open them and you
would not. And so we departed to seek
another host, if not more lampitnblc, less
rormiiliilile than the one that greeted us
her.'. It is a happy time for me to come
to Lynchburg now the war over, no
excluuv or greetings with shot and
shell as then, but with the friendly wel
come or all the people which typifies the
rcsM'ct and regard nnd good will which
subsists between nil sections or our com

OMAHA. April 2!.-Jiimcs Callahan
wos declared not guilty yesterday or any
complicity iu the kidnaping of Edward
Ciiihihy. Jr.
Shortly after 0 o'clock yesterday morn
ing the jury reported . Judge linker had
evidently liecn expecting another verdict
and was openly disappointed.
"It is impossible f tne to under
stand," he said, "how 12 intelligent men
could have agreed upon such a verdict
after listening to the testimony. The
defendant could not have chosen more
wisely it he had been selecting his own
rcpr-xeiitntivcs and the community could
not liuvc made a more unfortunate selec
tion. This jury is discharged without
the compliment or the court."
Callahan's attorneys were not pres
ent mid the defendant expressed a de
sire to thank the jurors in his own be
half. This the court refused to permit. He
said the jury did not deserve any thanks.
Two other counts still exist against
Callahait and he was at once rearrested
under these. There Is dull tit, however,
whether the stnte will bring the rases
to trial. Chief of Police Ilonohue an
nounces that the $.",(HH) offered for the
apprehension or Patrick Crowe will be
withdrawn. He says it is one thing to
arrest the culprit nml another to convict
him. The reward or ."il.(l(s ofTered
jointly by the city and Edward Cudahy,
however, will still remain In rorce. As
far as could be ascertained rrom the
Jurymen there was nt uo time any seri
ous difference as to their opinion of Cal

ally the snme charge as that upon which
he had been tried and acquitted.

curing a collection or opinions rrom the

iau Shot and Woman Harshly Treated
Near Ollphant, Pa.
CONNELLSVILI.E. Pa., April 20.
Tlie Cunnellsville coke region is all
Itirred up again over the dastardly deed
or a gang or negroes who attacked Hiram
McMillan, a white man, and his wife in
I lonely house near Oliphant, and shot
Hie man twice, probably mortally wound
ing him, and brutally assaulted the wom
in, who also is in a serious condition
Irum the abuse.
McMillan's house sets back from the
lighwny near the old historic Ollphant
furnace. McMillan is about 40 years
lid, but his wire is quite a young woman
i nil the two were alone. Suddenly the
negroes, ill the party beiug two black
K'oiuen, came rrom hiding and attacked
:he house. The men burst in the door,
iragged Mrs. McMillan rrom her hus
band's arms and carried her nut behiud
in outbuilding, where the six men as
laulted her.
Leaving their victim prostrated, ths
men gave their attention to the frantic
iiisband, who had been engaged in bat
tle with one or more of the men through
jut this terrible ordeal. McMillan
broke from his assailants and as he dart
?d bark into his house the negroes, evt
lentiy thinking that he was going for a
fun or a revolver, drew a bead on him
nml a bullet pierced bis body just below
the heart. McMillan fell at his door
itep, but berore fli-eing the negroes shot
It hi prostrate body, another bullet lodg
ing in the rallcn man near the kidney.
For some time after the negroes hnd
9ed the husband lay at his door bleeding
mil bis wife lay unconscious behind th
unbuilding about 30 feet away. Ths
woman came to herself first nnd found
her husband. Mrs. McMillan gave th
lnrnt and immediately a posse was or
ganized to hunt down the negroes.
The posse did not lose much time in
getting started over the hills and in a
couple of hours came across Wesley
Lewis, one of the supposed assailants,
who thought te would elude the officers
by hiding in some bushes. He was hand
cuffed nnd brought under guard to the
Fayette county jail, where he is now be
hind the bars. Bessie Wares and Liizie
Jones, the two colored women impli
cated in the rioting, were also locked
up in Uniontonn. In the meantime the
word had spread throughout all of Fay
ette county and a great number of In
rurinted whites lire now scouring the
foothills of the Alleghanies iu the hope
rr finding the other five negroes.
Mrs. McMillan is at her home and has
suffered severely rrom shock and brutal
treatment. Her friends and relatives
swear vengeance swift and terrible on
the negroes if they can get them rrom the
officers.

wages, which was also refused, and they
refused to go to work. It was thought
