THE CASE A SERIOUS ONE
Tliey nlll>o|)Iore llio Action of I lie NtU*

tor? of liilcrCNl.
Among the alumni of the Virginia
Military Institute In rills city much in?
terest Is felt concerning the final result
or the dlsmlsslal of the first class a few
days ago for conduct bordering on In?
subordination. There Is but one opin?
ion, however, and that is that the class
should be severely punished for their
breach of discipline, but there Is also a
vein of pity among these ex-students
for the boys who are In such serious
trouble. While these gentlemen deplore
such c.induct, and condemn it in no
uncertain way,, yet they hope that the
spirit of punishment may be accom?
plished and the penalty so abridged
that reinstatement may occur and the
offense dealt with in Buch a mannet1
as to leave n lasting effect. The fact
that the students have been dismissed
Is In Itself a groa t humiliation, they as?
sort, and Is regarded as a never-to-be
forgotten lerson, but some of the alum?
ni think that it the men are reinstated
and reprimanded nnd made to promise
not to do so again In a public apology,
that tin? object of punishment wqulu
then be thoroughly accomplished.
ALWAYS IN FOR PUN.
(if course, it Is well known that most
all young men, when oft at college, are
in ; ?!? ail kinds of fun and amusement,
ami while these inclinations often load
them into trouble. In nearly every case
the oftenie is not ol the heart, but
simply over-anxiety for fun and prac?
tical jokes. There Is possibly hoi an
alumnus in the State but who some?
times during his college career took
part In s ime like escapades that
brlught down tho professor's blight,
but it is very doubtful if any real
wrong was evi r Intended.
Of course there Is a high moral tone and
code ot" honor among the pupils, and
very often these little affairs can never
bo traced to Us source. The tvhole class
is usually pledged to protect each
other, and the incidents of fun and
tricks that nro played very often have
to go unpunished.
This, however, does riot mean that
tho colleges do not try td ferret out
tin so jokes, b icause they always do,
and, as rules are very strict, when t%
fell) w Is caught he Is sure to be dealt
with according to military discipline
and the college rules regarding such
offences.
The recent case, though, seems to be
of n most serious nature, in that the
class had boon called up and told very
positively not to do the thing they did,
and then the fact that it was tlie se?
il I ?r class makes the offense all the
more deplorable, as the officers knew
bo-tor and should not have acted as
they did.
W HAT THE ALUMNI SAY.
?lud?.- Martin, of tho l.aw and Chan?
cery Court, in conversation on the ?ub
Ject, said:
I "The case In question Is a most de?
plorable one, and those taking part in
it should be punished, but it seems to
be a pity that the entire class, with one
exception, should lie permanently dis?
missed."
When questioned as to pranks and
Jokes of college b >ys, tho judge smiled
as hie? memory took him back to the
days w hen he was climbing the ladder
I of fame nt the V.M.I, with a Latin
grammar under one aim and a musket
on the other.
"Hoys w ill be boys," he said, "and off
a I college they often play pranks on
each other and als ? on the teachers.
?:'"l?ivhi'ii tiny jr.1'" i.:114hl 111.A1?TTc"
dealt with pretty severely. I re'inom
ber a case where a practical Joker was
never caught, but the subject of his
prank paid pretty dearly for it. A man
on guard duty was walking his beat
on the hack piazza of the building. In
the course of his rounds he had to pass
Immediately in front of four pieces of
artillery. Ope of the pupils, in thb
darkness of the night, put a blank
charge in the cannon, and then, wait?
ing his chance, fired it just as tho sen
i try was immediately in front of tue
j great gun. Tin- shook was so severe
I tli.it th<- man was kno. k.d down, but
not much hurt. During the excitement
tin- culprit escaped, but the sentry was
punished f ir not detecting the scholar
who did the shooting."
Mil. Q. TAYLOE GWATHMEY.
Mr. Owathmey talked very interest?
ingly about the incidents that happen?
ed while he was at Lexington. Jiesaid
the most serious thing that occurred
was the blowing tip of the magazlnt?
a thing that was greatly deplored?and
had the corps of cadets ever discover?
ed who did it they would have joined
the professors in dismissing the men
He asserted that the scholars were al?
ways up to some Innocent prank but
very often they were caught and dealt
with pretty severely. H? sa|d the 1111 st
amusing incident that he could re?
member was one occasion when asentry
box was blown over with the guard in
it. terribly frightening the poor fellow
There was at the time n b ind of "Molly
Maguiies" at the college, and they
were up to nil sorts of jokes and fre?
quently fired bombs off at the doors of
the professors rooms. Thev were very
smart and were awfully hard to catch
up with.
SOME OF THE OTHEItS.
Mr. W. H. White was found in his
office, but was suffering very much with
a bad attack of grip. He Bald he was
at the institute during the war of the
States, and the boys were thinking too
much about serious affairs to think
very much about personal amusements
Tiny found time and Inclination, how
evi r, to indulge in auch actions some?
times.
Mr. Walter H. Taylor said that jokes
w re often played during his scholar?
ship, and the cadets frequently had to
pay pretty dearly f..r it. Ho said the
classes always stood tOgethed in their
little "affairs,' and that on one occa?
sion the juniors, or, as they were term
ed. by the flirt class, "rats." became
miffed at some action of the seniors
nnd a regular light ensued. In which
about fifty of the youngsters proceed?
ed to do \ip the class of fifteen seniors,
one amongst whom was himself.
PETITION THE GOVERNOR.
Governor Tyler has received many
communications from the dismissed
pupils, and their friends, and some of ,
them have been to see him nnd asked
for his Influence In getting them back
to college. They don't claim to be in
nocent, but express many regrets for
their conduct and are willing to make
any sort of an apology.
There will be a meeting of the fac?
ulty next Thursday, when final action
Will be taken.

Frank Leary went to the Philadelphia
wharf yesterday afternoon and asked
Mr- Harry Donnelly for the money of
another negro, saying he bad been re?
quested to get it. Twenty-four dollars
was paid to him nnd he toolt his de?
parture. An hour lat.-r he was arrested
j in a drunken condition and all the
I money was gone. It was afterwards
I learned that he had no authority to col
! lect the money and the charge of ob
I milling money under false pretences
I was preferred against him.

And H cnms to pass that when the,
holiday s:asoii was over end most of
tho people had spout all that they had
and a groat deal that they did not have
that they took up ,their little grips'
and walked, nnd they dispersed into all j
the country "round about nnd quiet
reigned In th<> land. And when the
great ruler saw these things he was
glad In his heart and he called some
of the wise men about hiiri and spoke
to them cheering words, and to the
chief of his officers he said: "Go thee >
to Ro noke, that wicked city, and
learn of them nnd come back and re?
port to me. and 1 will go hence to
Richmond .that dead town on the river
called James, across from the village
of Manchester, and 1 will tipeak to
them in their chancery halls and cause
the dry boiles to rattle.
RETURNED To HIS PEOPLE.
Tho great ruler returned from the
benighted land and his people did re?
joice to see him again, and when, at
the appointed time, he came upon the
b< rich to judge si:, h of them as had
! violated the laws m de by the \vlse men
of Ghent or who disregarded tho man
! dates laid down by those people known
as the Board of Health. And many
I people came to do him honor and ho
j rejoiced v Ith them becniiBO he was a
! prophet honored In his own country,
i the only stone on the nandy shores of
i the Elizabeth. And he 'lid mete equity
to alt the people. eVcn those of Smith's
Inno nnd the district known as the
Tenderloin.
THE SINNF.HS Pl'NlSllED.
First there came one Philip, whose
surname was Mr En tree. He seemed to
be a weary traveller, nnd the dust of
the roads had gathered thick upon him.
even U?Oh his neck and his lace, and
hu hands were gam qiacalaced with the
smoke of the locomotive. He was piti?
ful to look upon, and the rui.-r told him
to go ami dip bin-self several times In
the river and to take the Seitboard Air
Line to the South.
Brlsto Bright found no favor with
tin- ruler. Ho was a Hnmtte ami la?
bored for one M. MeFarllltld, in that he
tended his beast of burden and drove
his chariot. Now. this black man was
wicked 111 his heart and did beat and
maltreat tho horse nnd the officers
brought him before the ruler, who de?
manded that lie pay to the treasury
forty pieces of silver.
STOOD AT THE GATE.
Daniel Taylor (not the one who was
cast into the den) stood at the gates
of tho city and would fain have eaten
of the crumbs that fell from the tables
in Rrnmblcton. lie was brought before
tho Judge, who ordered that lie be
made to leave the dty.
William Thompson did not walk cor?
rectly in the sight of the Ruler, and
It was commanded that he be locked
up and fed two days on bread and
water.
John Sawyer, colored, charged with
assault, was made to pay costs.
Charles Rolong was ;t nuisance In
the land and found no favor in the
eyes of the Ruler, and it was ordered
that he be made to leave tho oily.
REMOVED THE SIGNS.
Edward Phillips, a white man. saw
the hand-writing of the chief of the
officers upon the walls of a certain
house nnd he tore the sign down nnd
carted It away. This was a grave of?
fence and the case will bo looked into
further to-morrow.
Jessie Wnddill, a darky damsel, did
attempt to cut one Jim Brown, nnd
the Judgo ordered that she be sent to
prison for tho term of three months.
Mattle Taylor, after the manner of
colored women, became disorderly on
the street in the night time, and she
was made to pay four pieces of silver.
Andrew Banks, a wicked negro, was
charged with stealing and his case will
be looked further into on the 17th, anil
this same mouth.
