Ann Arbor Excited!

Daring the past week tliere has been great exeiternent in our usually (iniet city. The arresta 011 Tucsdtiy evening of last weck, of a student at the postoffioe, charged wlth causing a dislurbance, of wliich mentían was made In our last issue, Mío wed by several more arrests the s:ime fvi'iinr. aroused considerable excitement in llie student conimunity. On the evcnlng following, a member ofCouipany A, Georgc Stoll, was celebratin',; the important event of bis life, liis marrUge, at tbc resldence of liis parents, on S. División st., and a numbcr of the boys belonging to the company desirctl to show their respect for tbeir coinrade In rívíiií; lilm a militar}' salute. In [lursuance of this desire Sergeant Sheldon (i ranger went to Mayor Manly requesting permission for the members of Co. A to inarcli to the place of the wedd na; and fire a salute. This request was denied. Then the Sergeant wanted to know if tliey could go there in a body, and Mayor Manly told him tliat he bad no power to prevent their going without anus, tbat lic knew of. This conversation was in presence of a witness. Sergeant Granger claims be had permission, wc understand. At any rate several members of Co. A, together with a number of young men who were not members of the Co , took the guns of tbc Co. and marched to the place of the wedding at about 0 o'clock In the evening and proeeeded to fire a salute. The liring of this salute, as miglit have been expected, called forth an army of students. They swwrmed from all direcU0H8, coming with the belief that there was further trouble between some of their number and the city authorities. When they arrived at the scène and found out wliat was going on they did not retire and leave the wedding party alone, as they ought by rights to have d np, but remained, and made it so tinpleasant that it bccame necessary to do sometliÍDg to disperse ttie crowd. Gapt. Arrastrong, who in company with his wife was a guest at the wedding, then ordered tLe members of Co. A to return to the irmory and leave tlielr guns, thinking, correctly, that the crowd would follow tliem away. Ttie boys foruied In line and marched away, followed by the crowd of students who jeered anil guyed the soldiers unmercifully. Afier the line turned on to Liberty Street, Sergeant Granger, who appeired to have command of the company, beenne enraged at the actions of the students having given several com. mands whlch were not heard because of the noUe made by the students to drown tliem. He then ordered tl charge, the boys to use the butt of their guus as clubs. A charge was made and tlie crowd dispersed hut formed ignin and a second charge was made, and some say a thircl, wlien tlie city pólice appeared and succeeded in sendlng the boys to the armory and dispersing the crowd. During one of these charges Sergeant Graiiger was hit upon the forehead witli a stone and seriously wounded, from which he has not yet recovered. A university student, a member of the freshman literary clase, nained living J. Denniaou, of Toledo, was struek with a gun upon the liead by a meniber of the company and injmed so severely that lie died before morning. Othera weie liurt, bilt none seriously eo. Corouer Clark suniinoned a ji'O' consisting of Alvin Wilsey, M. 11. Goodrich, Qeorge V. Moore, Job Marshall, Mr. Jenuings and Arnos Corey, and immed iately set about examiuing witnesses and ascertaining if pos9ib!e, where the blame belonged, and who was responsible for the murder of young Denuison. IJoth sttidents and town boys have testifled but as yet the man who struck the blow that killed Dennison or who threw the stone that woumied Granger have not been disoovered. The inquest, after a thrce day's sesion at the court heuse, adjourned until Thurfday, when it will be again resumed. It 9 :in un for túnate iifl'iir wilh bltiine not uil upon pither one side or Uie olher. Wliat twenty or thirty stulenU would have done undcr similiar eircum-tunc s, had they been f.illowed and guyed by a thousand or so of town boys, is a mere matter of uoiijecture; if they will simply reverse positi'ins for a moment they may be able to dissipute eome of the hot predjiidice with -vliich they now look at the matter and be more considérate in their coudiisions, though there Ciin be no excuse for murder. It is quite evident that the boys who represented Company A that cvening carne out without order-, carried arme in viohition of instructimis, and are amenable to our laws for their oondnot. It is devoutly to be hoped that the a flair will be thoroughly sifted and the guilty puni.-ihed, but when the heat of exci temen t dies out, and the cool, candid judfrinent of both Btudentg and townspeople takes the place of the present excitement, there will be far better opportunity for justice than there is at present. When punnishmeiit made for this crime, for crime it ia, it should be so severe that in the future history of our city t will ncver be repe ited. The remains of young Denuisoti were accotnp:inied to the M. G. depot on Friilay p. in. by abont 1,500 students, and a committee was selected by bis class to altend the funeral services In Toledo. Mr. Dennison's larents were iniinediatcly cal led herc but did not urrive in time 'O see tlieir son before lie died. Tlielr grief wiis hcartrending, for tliis cruel affray robbed tliem of thelr only so:i and t lie deepest ?yin)atliy of iIiniHantU of he;irts goes out to them in tlieir terrible u 111 cllon. At a meeting of the olass of '94 the following resolutions were passet) : Wiikbkas, God In Mis Divine Provldence liiwwi'ii Hl tu ninovf iriini uur midtt a bloved umi respected clasmute, Ir ving J. DennlHon, and, Whekeas, by hU untlmeiy denth. In tinmldut of a brlght and promUInti career, we. In eommon Ui the whule UnivcTMlty of Michigan, huve nustalned a serlous and luuch reKrettoü losJ, tlierefore be It Hesolved, That the class of '91, monrning the deatn of lts raember, extend to the bereaved parents Ihelr deep nd hearlfelt aympathy, trustlng that the tender compassi in of a merciful Father wlll console them In tiiU tiour of htn uw, and be it further Hesolved, That an engrossed copy of tiiee resolutlorm be sent to tlie parentit of the deceased, and that copies be forwarded to the college paper.

The iifftir has caused the hearts of all true frleuds of the University to be lilled with lorfOWi and with fears for the consequence9, for alreiuly the enemies of the University are iisin j t as a club agalnst the huthutlon. Tlie great body of students should not be condemned for the thouglitlessness (to draw it mild) of the few, ncitlicr should tlio cutiré body of cltlzena bc censured tor the deeds of a few liot-heailed youngsters. The impression n the minds of some that there exista a hostile feeüng between our citizens and the (Tnlvenlty is nn erroneous impression, so far as the city and its people are conccrncd. The student have always received a hearty welcome trom the residente of Ann Arbor, the doors of our homes are tlirown open to thera as no otber doors on the continent a e, and among the tliousndi! of students who have walked our strefts, DQt one can be found, whose conducthas been exemplary, who bus not been kindlv treated. BQCh belng the case il seeins as though the University autliorities and the civil antliorities niiglit unite and successfully repress what is termed boyisb thnughtlessness unon the one (lde, and hot-beaded inipetuo.-ity npon the other when eitlier oversteps the bounds of Uw and order. In ttiis Uulversity, whiïli is a. University of the people and by the people- if the expression may bi alloweJ - the uterests of both the Univereity and the city are identical. What effrets the Kood name and prosperiiy of one tireets the good name and prosperity of both. They wlll live or die, sink or swim together, and by mutual forbearance, c.ilni judgment and unity they will prosper togeti.er. It is to be hoped tliat Senator Iugiills will be re-elected by tlie Kansas legislature. Kansas people will fooi thcmsclves batlly f they attcmpt to fill bis place. In tbc Courler'B table oí official vote, Turner, Allen, Bond, Jacobs, and the rest oí the republican camlldates are put down as problbltion candidates. - Argus. Xo one will ever acense some of the men who rau against tbera on your ticket of being prohibitionlsts,it is notlikely. Theresultof the recent electlon puts HUI out of the prestdentlal race and we are glad of it. - Mt. Clemens Press. Does it though? Just wait nntll you Uear from Tanunany on tbat subject. Tammany rules the democracy the same as Jacob does Detroit. Gov. Wlnans will have no dllficulty In flndlng a candidate for auy office lie has lo fill.- Sentinel. Really, now, aren't you joking? Democrats never seek oftlce, do they ? You know that the democratie press has been very strennous on that one point durin this election, that the office shoiild seek the man and not the man the oftloe. The editor of the Cocrieu has roceived a manly and noble letter from Hou. James II. Turner, returning thanks for the excellent support given him by the republican press, and expressing himself s not being at all sore over the result, hut a stronger repubücan to-day than he ever was before. He takes bis defoat in a manly way, and doesn't propose to desert bis principies because some of lus party Oid not vote for him. The Patrons of Industry endorsed by the Prohibitionists in almost every instance, control the house and senatebotb, in the next legislature. The following is a plank from their platform: We are opposed to the repeal or reductlon of the exclse or iniernal revenuetax on spirits and tobáceo, belleviog that these artlcles ar t iicci-ssiiry to the public welfare and injurlous to the Individual. We favor the passage of stringent laws to restraln and decrease the ale orintozlcatlng drlnks, and we deraandofall natlonal, state and municipal offleera the strict and lmpartlal oxecutlou ol all laws to control, restrain and prohibit the liquor trafile. The qnestlnn now being debaied in Methodist circles is wliether women sIihII be eligible to selection as lay delcgates to the general conference. A vote all ovit the worlJ is being taken upon tliis idea In every Methodist church, which nUhoiiüh its result sliall not decide detinitely, will show how the majoitty look np ui the innovatlon. In the Ivisi popul-ir fccUng etppoaoa it, W lilla tlïo West fiivors jrivinj; the lndies a chance. The church in this city voted last night for their admUsinn by a vote of 54 for and 22 against. Dr. Breakey was anuir man of the meeting with Messrs. Booth and Noble acting as tellers. Fluslied irlth the success they have gained, and greedy and hungry for more, the democr.itic canvassing boards in several parta of the state are damning theniselves and tlieir party by their rascalities. In Detroit it makcs no dlfference wliether thcre is any law or shadow of excuse, If they take it into their lieads to count out a republlcan they do it. In Kent county the democratie board of canvasseis take upnn themselres the functions of i court of justice, decide a law unconstitutional and proceed to throw out votes cast Ihereunder, and so count in another democrat. In S.it;in:tw county a few votes wcre wanted to defeut Mr. Bliss, tlie republicin ree!ected to congress by the people of hi# district, and the demoentic board deliberately tlirew out a voling precinot in Saginaw city, thus countiiif: in his democratie opponent. lij' fraudulent batlots, printed without authority, the demócrata have sucwedod in counting out Gen. Cutclieon in bis district. Is the fe any attempt to rectify tlmt wrong bv the democrats ? Not at all. 'f hst is simpl v ehrewd poütical work on tlieir part. Hut the people will rcmember these outiages, and resent tliem at the polls. The Missisfippi plan of counting In demócrata wliether they are eiccteil or nor must not be introducid In Michigan. It ouglit to and will kill the democratie p irty.
