Clinton E. Dlxon , the murderer of Cor poral Cnrtar , evidently bat but about thirty * BIX hours moro to llvu. To the doomed matt thcso ilolctul moments will pass as n shadow. THE 11 ui : received late ycsturda/i afternoon a telegram from Washington , which said tbat thcro Is no doubt now that Soldier Clinton E. Dlxon will bang at Omaha on next Fri day. TUB BEK correspondent was told at tbo Department ol Justice yesterday that tbo president had refused to commute tbo aeatb sentence to life Imprison , mont , andwas disinclined to grant another stay. Attorney General Miller says ho will not make any further recommendations in Dlxon's case , and that hope tor htm is past. Governor Boyd has given notice tbat'prayor for a commutation of sentence will DO pre sented , but It will avail nothing now. United States Marshal Slaughter , with a deep sigh , announced yoitorday morn- Ine , "No word from Washington , " and 'tils ' subsequent actions tostlllod to the fact thnt bo does not expect any. "Tho last respite , " observed tha marshal , "looked ominous enough to me. 1 asked tbat the ufTalr * bo bridged over until after the mealing of the crand ' ledge here last weak , and my petition was granted , but tbat was all. Had tha reprieve been extended for a month or ilx wcoks then I would have had peed grounds to hope for'decisive executive clemency In the sbapo of n commutation to Imprisonment for llfo. " "Then you have made up your ttilud that ibo man must bo executed I" f "I havo. I resolved all along not to glvo myself any unnecessary anxiety abouttho dls- agreeable duly that devolves on mo , and have t of rained from all undue notoriety In the way of preparing for tbo affair. I felt that all the arrangements could DC adequately made forty-eight houra boforb the actual time sot for the execution , and us tbat Is ail thu tlmo there Is left mo I am going right about it nniv fl'hn mnn whn owns the unjlffold on which Nenl died will bo here in a few mo menta , and I will visit the jail with him and give orders for the building of the stockade and"tiro erection of the gallows. " The marshal had hardly ceased speaking when the Individual referred to dropped In , nnd an immediate start was made for the Jail.After After carefully examining tbo areaway In tliQ northeast cornsr of tno Jail , the spot whcro the slayer of Allen and Dorothy Jones expiated his crime , It was decided tliiu Dlxon should moot his fate there also , only tbut the blockade will incloso a space of ± 'x33 feet immediately bouth of. tbo west wing of the jail , seine twenty foot north of the site of tha Ncal execution. I'rcpiirlnj ; tliu I'iuco ol Kxooutlon. The tnunsurcments bomg taken , n force of carpenters wore put to work Immediately , nnd.by . 0 o'clock the structure was completed. It is a boxllko contrivance of plno planks , with a shutting roof , as it is the marshal's Intention to abso lutely cut oI ( all possibility of tbo morbid crowd vioxvlug any part of tbo sol emn proceodlnes. For light , three largo skylights will no not in tbo roof , ana the scaffold used will bo identically tbo snmo as used In Noal's case , with the exception of an electrical appliance for springing the trap. Another thine , that portion of tbo public which gives up business and all other affairs to bo in the vicinity of the place whore a poor wretch Is about to surrender bis Ufa might as well bear In mind that the cbiof of police will have n rordon of patrolmen on the two adjoining Uonts whllo the sheriff and his men will see ? hat tbo Jail yard ts kept absolutely frco of intruders. Ui'dor no circumstances w.il the crowd btl allowed to congregate in the Im mediate neighborhood. Whllo Marshal Slaughter will.perform the functions of bis position unflinchingly ho deeply deplores the unpleasant task , and will got through with It us oxpedltlou&ly and un ostentatiously as possible. Dut few Individ uals will bo allowed within the stockade be fore , during or subsequent to the cxcullon , and these will include only tha authorities , clergymen and members of the press. Had it boon consistent with all legal requirement * Marshal Slaughter would bavo kept tbo uny of tbo hanging even from the public , so dUlastoful Is the publicity of the affair to him. A Merciful As previously stated , wbllo It now looks inevitable that Dlxon must hang Friday , r Marolinl Slaughter will not relinquish all hopes of executive interces sion until the last moment is up , und in this expectation , though frail it. be , will delay the llualo ns long as possible , pcrcbanco to us late us S o'clock In tha aitarnoon , unless unequivocal and per emptory Instructions nro received In the mean U mo. After final orders to the workmen the innr- xhul.-Jullor JooMlllornnd Tim Dec reporter onleroi inn Jail and went up to sea Dlxon. Before reaching tbo solitary cell In which lha unhappy soldier bov Is con- lined , It Is necessary to pass through a simi lar iutlosuro lu which Is the cage containing Fox , the South Omuhn vvifo murderer , and a hldrous spectacle ho presents. It Is llko going Into the "bad ward" In a madhouse , as tlio burly prisoner , either In , , roul or feigned insanity , crouches In a corner in a state of semi- nudity. His big head ls covered with a chock ol utikompt. black hair , uud with eyes bulging from their bookats , uud opon- tiiouthcd ho glares through ibo bars Ilka u wild bcust nt bay. Tha sounds , too , that bo utters , a cross between n whine and a snarl , nro enough to glvo one the shivers. "Ho's pluyui'lt , " romnrkod the Jailor , as ho shot back tbo big steel bolts , and admitted the party to Dlxou's louosomo compartment. Tha boy , for bo is no moro than such , arose from thu floor , where ho hud been reclining With his bible , and with a smllu greeted his visitors , Ho were u light-striped tlannnl Blurt and soldier pants , and was In his mock ing feet , HH light brown hair was brushed buck In curly waves from his high fore head , bis oycs were bright and clear , Mid although n trifle too pallid from long confinement , enhanced , may bo. to nu unusual dogrco by the Incertitude of his position , ho wus not un unprepossessing fol low. In fact ho mono a most favorable im pression and looked anything but vicious or aepravod , Interlow Wllh l > Uoii. "Good morning , Clint , bow are you feel * Ing iiQWl" was the marshal's pleasant erect ing. ing."Ou , I'm nil right , " replied Dlxon with a fniut , bait-hearted s'ullu playing uround the corners of tils mouth. Then there wus nn awkward Mlouco for u moment , broken Dually by tbo marshal nculn. "Well , Clinton , thcro has boon no further word from Washington , and I felt as If It was only right to Inform you. 1 don't want to - hold out uuy hope for yuii when I fool there u none. " That's right , " the boj replied , and ns the old Mnllo began to light up hit fuoc , he con * Untied , "but It may coma yet I" half Inter rogatively as ho took a itcp uvarnr the bars and peered cugorly Into the inirthul's ' eyes , a * if bo must got nonio encouruiremuut thoro. ' Oh , yes , " quickly r kpoiuted tbo luuithal , "we'll ' not KIVO up.uulll WH have to , will Wei" "No indeed , " cutno the falut reply , "but i think the president Is n very small man It ho refuses to grant nhnt so many people have uskcd for , " and ho nervously toyed with the holy book clasped affectionately In hi * hands. "It does scorn hard , Dlxon , but If 1 were you 1 would direct my thoughts into other channels. It looks dark to tno , nnd you want to bo prepared,1' kindly answered Slaughter. "Yes , I do , and I am : tboro'e no use I cuow , " and the eyelids trembled , and u big glistening tear crept softly out ndown his white chcolc , ' 'of hopln' nnj more. I am going to foco It lllco a man though ; llko a man IV ho repeated , ns ho gazed vaguely out through the iron lattice , where the hot sum * mor sun shimmered llko a sheet of gold over thn brown waits. "What ao you hoar from home , Dlxon ; dd vour folks wnto to voul" nskort the reporter. "Yes , my mother , " nnd bo dwelt on tbo word as ino.Tiory seemed to tide through bis brain. "My mother , she has not forgotten mo , " and the boy's doleful tone was enough to have moved the stoutest heart. Then , to divert his thoughts from this tender - dor direction , ho was nkod to what nation ality ho belonged , nnd ho replied that ho was of Scotch-Irish descent , out bis look * and accent denote n liberal mixture of the German. Ho add oil that ho was enjoying the most robust health , that ho ate heartily of the many goud things served him and slept soundly und trauquillv at night. Whllo the ilros of hope still burn flrcoly within bis breast , ills evident that u Is lltilo auvo the yearning of an imperiled soul , and that really ho looks forward to naught but the swift' approach of the grim conqueror. Ho is very nervous and it is the belief of these closest to him that ho will erow moro nnd moro so from this nn until the fateful hour has ar- rlvod , ana that much of the fortitude hither to displayed will desert him. Tile Caiulomncd Mnn' I'umlly. Dixon is an illegitimate child. His mother , whoso nutno is Margarctta Swartz , resides with a numerous family of children near the small town of Hanover , fa. Shu , as wall as a number of rela tives , has kept up a regular correspond ence with the boy during his Imprisonment , btunouohns volunteered either individual or iinanclal aid , both of which they evidently dcomlttiomsolvee incapable of , for tbelr loiters ters arc full of affectionate solicitude and dcop sorrow nt his unhappy situation. Ho has led Quito an cvontful llfo , but thcro is nothing save the eco unguarded deed at Fort Hoblnsou nearly ono year ago , that mars his record any moro than that common to a boy who took to the world at nn early ago. Before leaving the Jail , Marshal Slaughter in an undertone asuod Dixon what ho could do for him in tbo wav of ( preparing him for the last sad scono. Ho said ho would like un cntlro change of now clothing , with a white shirt , turn-down collar and bluck slouch hat , and alter Informing him thatu man would bo immediately sent up from a clothing store to tnkd bis measure , the party bade him good- by and loft. There bus been no death watch established over Dixon , und all the long hours of the da v , and the longer ones of night , ho passes soli tary and alone. How thn gloom , tor tbo Joyous summer sun cannot even dispel it by day , must bo peopled 1 How the dreary hours of night must overflow with dear forms and faces ! DIxon'H Attorney lit Sea. Attorney Dolan Imagines that ho has sov- crarschomcs partially hatched by which ho can postpone the execution of Dixon. Ho appears to bo laboring under the Impression that it will bo necessary for somebody to sign another doatb warrant before Dlxou can bo logallv banged. Speaking of tbo matter yesterday morning , Attorney Baker sa id : "Dixon's death warrant was signed long ago , Ana the only affect that the respite granted by President Harrison had was simply to postpone the execution. When the tima for which the respite was granted hns elapsed jtho execution will proceed Just tbo same as though there bad bean no interference , un less tbo president docs ono of the following ihrcothluLts : Grants another rcsplto. com mutes the sentence to llfo Imprisonment or grants a pardon. Tbo Idea that the presi dent would interfere in such a way as to take tha Jurisdiction of tha cast : away from Judge Dundy Is perfectly absurd. Judge Dundy's authority in tbo case was fully exorcised when ho pronounced sentence on Dixon. Ho was through with tbo case then. " Speaking of Dixou's death warrant Judge Dundy said yesterday : "Thero is no such thing as a death warrant for Dixon , strictlv speaking. Tbo sentence of the court was tbo only death warrant that is itnown in such cases. The president of the United States can par don , commute or respite the condemned man but ho has nothing to do with signing a death warrant. The man who talks about signing a death warrant for Dixon at * this stage in tbo came is not posted on the pro ceedings of United States courts. " THE LIE DIRECT. Air.

To the Editor of THE Unu : Permit tno , in self vindication , to cor rect some statements made relative to the alleged war In the ranks of tbo independent party of this county and In which my name was freely used. As to tba statement that I among others have been fiebtlr. ? Mr. StriclUor and seek ing to cot control of the committee on local nrtangomontsthat I might hloed some ono , I have this to say : I am not , neither have 1 been , lighting V. O. Strlckler. I bavo my opinion as to tbo advisability ot nominating htm for important ofllcos , but I am not light ing men , but for tbo principles of our party. I did unite with others in a protest against the appointment of a general committee on arrangements for the national convention consisting of 100 members und on which there woto at most two or tbrco indepen dents. This protest was made last April and was sustained by the city central commit tee. tee.As to my dcslro to seek control of the local committee , I told the committee appointed at the mooting called on thu protest that I could not serve on any committoo. II uuy "friend" or "onomy" of Mr. Strlckler will clto ono Instance whom I bavo sought position to bleed or bavo triad to bleed anyone , I will guarantee to prove the statcmonl an absolute falsehood. Now a word to the Individual who was too cowardly to make charges over his own name , but docs so through the reporter. In the lint place , I was and am still state sec retary-treasurer of the Knights of Labor. I have not been ousted. My accounts were carefully audited at tbo end of my flrtl term by three as able and honest man as can bo found in the state. They were pronounced correct and I was honored by a re-election. Tbo statement tbat "a few weeks ago his accounts wora thoroughly overhauled by ths auditing committee and Mr. Blirelow was ousted from his posl'.lou upon charges too numerous to mention , " is an abnoluto falsehood. No auditing com- mlUeo bus examined my books sluco tbo last of thn Atfitn iiftftninhlv ni.tthnIB tboro any charge made that they are not cor rect. In conclusion allow tno to say tbat I huvo not been Identified with tins trouble in any decree. I know nothing of the grievances uud do not doslro to participate. Tbo at tempt to drag my uamo into the affair , when Tttc Buu'g informant must have known of my absence from the city since the 5th of May last , ts the work of li cowardly assut * slii.

THE USE'S editorial urging a fitting colo- bratlon of the Fourth of July in the city ot Omaha and advising that .certain organiza tions take Immediate action to.that . end has met with very general approval and brought out many enthusiastic endorsements of the proposition. . Mayor Bomls In a communication ( o tha city couocll urged that body to take stops to celebrate the auy , und n committee was ap pointed to make arrangements. Influential and representative citizens have declared themselves as heartily in favor of the project , and the following expressions are fairly indicative of the prevailing Eonti- mcnt : Omnlin Should Hustle. Judge Davis Of course wo should cele- brato. Wo should do It br all moans. Tbo great trouble Is that Omaha Is 'too sleepy , and upu this occasion wo should wako up nnd have the grandest celebration that has over boon hold in uny city In the west. Tbo expense will not bo great , und If wo hustle July 4 , Ib'JJ , will bo a day long to bo re membered. Judge Scott If for no other reason than to benefit the school children , Omaha should cclobrato. Tbcro Is a disposition upon the part of American citizens to regard' July 4 as a day of rest. This is ull wrong. "Wo should Instill Into the minds of the boys and girls of this generation tbat IndcpOtidouco day is the grandest day ot the year. Wo should , teach them that it was upon this day that u healthy Infant was lifted from the cradle of liberty. Judge Kcysor Lot us cclobrato and show the ptioplo ot the world that wo Appreciate the gift of our forefathers , who fought at Lexington- Bunker Hill.Vo should bavo a rousing celebration this year , and wo should make a grand display of'our patriot ism. Lot this patriotism bo genuine and not of the cheap kind consisting of a few small ilaga and a lot 'of Chinese firecrackers. An old-fashioned celebration would bo a grand thing for Omaha. , . William Coburn I am In favor of a graml celebration and would Ilka to see ono that would wnko the echoes of tbo whole Mis souri valley. Now ID the Opportune Time. Howard B. Smith It is a grand , good Idea , and if the proper steps uro taken at ouco wo can have the greatest celebration that has over bo2u hold. It has been years since Omaha did anything in this line , and uow is tbo most opnortuno tlmo for waking up. Wo will havu u great crowd in Omaha on that duy and it is only moot ana proper tbat wo should convince the people that wo reverence the grand old day. . U. S. Berlin There is no reason why Omaha should not celebrate. Heretofore our people bavo gene away from homo. This year wo should keep them hero und ontor- tam thorn. Wo can do It , and at the same tlmo nt a small expense wo can work up * a celebration that will eclipse anything over witnessed in the west. Wo have got tbo patriotism and all you bavo got to do Is to uncori ; it , and it will boil over llko a bottle of soda water. E. M. Stenberg We're going to have thousands o ( pcoplo in Omaha to help swell the crowd , and why not celebrate ( It ought not to cost much , and right hero I want to say tbat our people will come to the front and meet the expanses. The railroads , the hotels and others ought to contribute liber ally , as they will bo largely benefited. I am sorry to cav that in the past the ones who have contributed the most have aeon the ones who bavo been bcnotitod the least. If the peoolo got out and hustle I think this order of things can DO changed. H. B. Iroy Of course , wo want to cele brate. Wo want to have u genuine Ameri can celebration , ono tbat will maico our an cestors turn over in their graves and exclaim , "Weil done , my ooys. " Let us reach up and grasp the grand old. bird , the emblem of American lloerty by the tail and pull out all of its feathers. Wo ought to fcol nn .Joyous as a lot of colts released from winter con finement. Lot us for once got to the front und make July 4 a grand holiday. Appoint Committee * at Once. Secretory Nason of the Board of Trade If theroover was u tlmo In tbo history of this city vhcn a display of her abilities in the line of celebrations would do her good it is uow. There is no tuna to be lost and tbq question is who will begin It ) I would sug gest that all the various bodies mentioned In tbo editorial in TUB Bisii appoint committees at ouco und that those bo united into an ex ecutive committee to pusa the thing through. You will find ono opposing cle ment , and that consists of mem bers of tbo otbor parties who will look upon tbo affair as n waste of pow der for the benefit of tbo people. ' * party. Of course politico has nothing to do with it , but the fact of the presence of these 1,770 delegates in this city , and they arc coming en masse , demands that Omuha shall do something which will produce the Impression - sion wo would naturally llko to produce on delegates from avery corner of the union. Frank E. Mooros Why shouldn't wo colo- bratol It Is the presidential year , and wo ought to do tomothlug. Wo ought to Just get up and bowl. For ono I'm ' In favor of lllling up ibo "holo In ibo bottom , of the sea" and ovorytbing else. It Is true that the time for making preparations Is short , but what's the difference ? Frequently the bo < t work and the grandest events in American history have been accomplished on tbo spur of tbo moment. Councilman Jacobson If our people will fall In line wo can bavo a celebration that will bo tbo talk of tbo nation. Wo will have tbo crowd. Ail wo have got to do is to start the ball lolling , and tbo pcoplo who will bo In Omaha will do tbo rest. As 'true Ameri cans , wo should do something. Omaha is capable of handling this thing , and I bin- corely hope tbat wo will cut loose and make tbo eagle scream until the old bird is hoarse. Frank T. Hansom 1'ra always In favor of celebrating tbo birthday of American free dom , and this year I'm doubly in'favor of so doing. Surely this year wo ought to wako up and celebrate lu a manner tbat tbo echoes will bo heard from the plno clad bills of Maine to tbo everglades of Florida , from the rock-bound coast of the Atlantic to thu golden slope of the I'jclllc. Just for this onoo , If never nziiin , lot us wako up , wrap tbo starry banner about the city , and till tbo great ethereal blue of heaven with bales. Inttill l.emon of I'ntrlotUin. General John H. Brooke I llko the good , old-fashioned way of culobrntlng thu Fourth of July. It may bo a llttlo tlrevome to listen to the reading of tbo Definition of Inde pendence and to tbo usuul Fourth of July speech about our glorious country , but I huvo an Idea that such things tend to Implant lessons of patriotism In the mind of the young. I nm afraid tbat the present generation Is growing up with a very un certain nnd Imported Id fa of the worth of our nation. Moro of the oil fashioned Fourth of July Jubilee inspiration would bo a greut bcnolU to the young people of this great country. I would lllco to see a grand celo- brutlon lu Omaha. Klmer Frank I am always In favor of Fourth of July celebrations , They show that the town has seine life , D. H. Me.-ccr By all means let us bavo a Fourth of July celebration oqd u good one. Omaha should huvo done moro of tbat kind ot tblng In ibo past. Such efforts create a more friendly fooling between Omaha ind other paru of tbo state. The people of the slute naturally want to como to Omaha an often 01 poulblo , and jt is doubly ploanaut when they can attend lotno great gathering like a Fourth of July celebration , i M&ratial Slaughter I shall uot bo iaOrnab * on the Fourth of Julybut I think it would ho well to have a first class celebration hero.

At 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon nn excel lent program was perfectly carried out at tbo Academy ot the Sacred Heart , Park Placo. Where there wns , MO much thnt was admirable , It would bo dlOlcult to stgnallzo any ono feature for special commendation. Ono barely hns nu opportunity to contem plate a moro exquisite nnd fairy-lttto panorama rama than that dlsolojed through successive arches of piltns , ferns , foliage , flowers nnd endless garlnnds of s mil ax. Over the hico curtains that softened the light from eighteen \vlilo window * were festooned linked wreathes of vlnoj , leave ? and smllax , whllo high columns , garden stands nnd trellis work were crowned with palms , wreathed with vines or bright with begonia , geranium , drucona mul superb lilioi , Ko- Moved against tha background , nt once bril liant and harmonized , weio the soft , whlta go\vns of young laaios , all dressed with n relined - lined simplicity that excluded luces , jewel : , flowers , "graduating bouquets. " The three numbers of instrumental music , Miss Butler's "LnUuzelle , " Miss Williams' "La Cascade , " nnd the quartette , Chopin's "PolonaUo" bv Mlssoi Phelps , Lemon. Dolan nnd Moclior , were nil accurately and brilliantly rendered giving real proof of their own talent. Ot the four vocal num bers Miss Dolun's solo , "Tbo Child's Prayer lu u Storm , " attracted most attention both by its variety of cadoncon and of expression and by Its display of yoloo that gives great promise. The "Welcome Choral" was bright nnd well sung , and the trio from "Athallo , " Misses Butler , Louiou and Dohin , was given with feeling and skill. Tbo "Evening Hymn" preceding the close of the oxorclsos nnd calling out the voices OH Misses Butler , Truckoy , Dolan , Lemon , Kostors und Mac- Nuinaru , was deeply religious lu sentiment and sympathetic In execution. "Pnissoz mcs Agnoaux , " n dcllcato compli ment to tbo bishop and clergy present ns guests , was delivered in fluent French by Miss Agnes Leo of Omaha. Her correct pronunciation bora testimony to advanced study in the language , which convoyed the respect nnd thanks of the school to the guests who bad honored the academy. Two amusing llttlo dramas , whllo greatly entertaining the audience , agreeably set forth the great cara which is evidently given in the Sacred Heart academies to elocution ary training and to tha formation of uioucst , refined und graceful manners. The llttlo dialogue , "A Nest of Philos ophers , " a clever llttlo satire , rendered the moro amusing by Ibo ago of the performer. * , grouped on the st-.iso six bright and pretty little children , of whom somq looked loss than 7 nnd none over 11 years of ago. These juvenile philosophers were ns perfectly nt euso as if they hud been chatting nmong&t themselves , yet thcro was nothing forwarder or self assertive in voice , countenance or gesture. The German coraodottn , In two very short scones , was admirably presented und showed with whut care the language must ho culti vated at Park Placo. Miss Pundt and Miss Schaab carried out their characters In the most natural and perfect manner and Miss Kostcrs manifo.-Ued a quick sense of humor and a wonderful power ot expression. The Mls.so's Cloves Ucsorvo special pralso and Miss Sioman loft nothing to bo dcsiro'd. Tno two llttlo children , Miss Gnhlon and Miss Emma Cloves , were as charming ns possible. Miss MacNamara read , or rather deliv ered ( for she rarely referred to her paper ) , n poem"On Guard , " which her facovoice and gesture interpreted to its fullostsignlficancp. Tbo bestowal of the graduates' laurel crown and gold cross , received from the ha'uds of Bishop Scanuoll , plucod before tlio assembly six young' ladles , seine of whom have spent ton years in the academy and none less than throe. Misses Kevin , Lee , MucNamara , Schaab unu Williams are said to bo all young girls of solid jJdg- mcnt , literary tastes and .rounded culture. The valedictory assay of the cluss was road by Miss Kevin In a modest und Intelligent manner , and with great case and self-pos session. Its title was : "Songs by the Wayside - side , " and tha development of tbo theme turned on tbo quotation : "Mind and soul according shall ono music make. " Bishop Scannoll's remarks were very happy , blending Kind and evidently sincere congratulation and encouragement with brief counsels and friendly hopes. Tbo rlto of "Bone-diction" in the chapel , whither all those repaired , gave a solemn and memorable close to the afternoon. Tno pupils entered tbo chapel veiled In wbito and bearing thn crowns and decora tions gained in the various classes. Thcso symbolic honors were than la.d , as an offer ing , before the ultar. Among tbo moro dis tinguished recompenses were thn gold modal for religious science , won by Miss Agnes Leo of Omaha , the premium for exemplary con- dust , awarded bv the votes of the whole school to Miss Kevin ot Lu Crosse , and the modal- lioiis to Misses Kavin , MacNnmara , Pundt uu'd Brown ; t.ho prlzo of success Iri all the Rtudlcs to Miss Lemon ot Omaha nnd MIRS Toblu of Denver. Besides these recompenses there were a vast number of premiums for the special studies , peculiar to each of tbo seven classes thnt form the entire course. Oh the whole , no commencement exor cises over hold at the acadoiny surpassed these of Tuesday. > AltaiIlny , Kntortiilu.
