Heart-Rending Accident-SuffO
cation from Gas.

Last evening, an elderly gentle
man named Calvin Tompkins, resid-
ing at Tompkins Cove, Rockland
county, came to this city as dele
gate to the State Temperance Con-
vention. With him were his wife
and an interesting girl about four
teen years old, Nancy King by
name. Nancy was pet member OF
Mr.. Tompkins' Sabbath School
class, and had been invited to come
to Syracuse on a sort of pleasure ex-
cursion.
The party took rooms at the
Syracuse House, and during the
evening Mr.. T. took special pains to
instruct Nancy as to the manage
ment of the gas. He not only show
ed her how to turn it off, but had
her stand up and practice with the
stop. Just before getting into bed
Mrs. T., feeling some anxiety about
the girl, went into her room and asked
her if she knew how to turn out the
light. She said she was quite SURE
she understood it perfectly. Mrs
T. examined the fastenings of the
windows, saw that the head light
over the door was closed and fast
ened, and gave instructions about
locking the door-for this little gir
was inexperienced and was entrust
ed to her choicest keeping.
About six o'clock this morning
Mrs. T. arose and tapped gently a

SECOND DAYS CIVILIZATIONS
PRESIDENT GRANTS RECEP.
TION.
CHARACTERISTIC SPEECH,
Ten Thousand Sweet Singers.

BosToN, June 16.
President Grant arrived this morn
ing.
After breakfasting at the St.
James Hotel, he left under the es-
cort of the Legislative committee
and corps of cavalry, arriving at
the State House about IL o'clock.
An immense mass of people greeted
the President on the route.
Secretary Boutwell,, Admiral Far
ragut, Gov. Chamberlain, and sew
eral other civil and military digni-
ties were in the Presidential suite.
On reaching the State House the
President was welcomed by Gov
Claflin.
President Grant responded to
Clafin's welcome, as follows:
"It affords me great pleasure to
visit the capital of the State which
has done so much for my support
and for the support of the Union
in the time of the great rebellion; q
State whose principles did so much
to give me whatever political posi-
ton I have attained, and a State
where l have received such hearty
welcome in other days"
The members of the Governors
Council, Supreme Bench. Licuten
ant Governor, and others were ther
introduced to the President.
After this ceremony he was es
corted to the Senate Chamber
where he was welcomed by Presi
dent Pittman, and the members o.
the Senate were then personally in
troduced, besides numerous ladies.
The President and party wer'
then escorted by the Sergeant-at
Arms to the House Of Represeta
tives, where Speaker Jewell made al
address of welcome. The Presiden
was then introduced to the member!
of the House, after which the part.
proceeded under cavalry escort t.
review the State troops under Gen
Butler.
The troops were reviewed BY
President Grant, on fremont street
The right of the line rested at Pro
vidence Depot in the Highland Dis
trict, the left at the corner of Berk
ey and fremont streets.
The President was received a
the right of the line, by Genera
Butler and staff. The General rod
up to the barouche and shook hand
with the President, who was loudl,
cheered by crowds of people.
The President mounted horse
and accompanied by the Governo
and General Butler and staff, rod

the door of the sleeping Nancy.
There was no response. The ia
tigue of the previous day made the
tired girl sleep sounder than usual.
So Mrs T. went back to her room,
finished dressing, and then raped
more loudly at Nancy's door and
shook the mob. The girl had evi
IDENTIFY found the strange room un
comfortable, and had gone down to
the parlor for a little walk, taking
the key with her; or what if some
one had forced open the window
and carried her off in the night!
The suspense could not be en-
dured, and so help was summoned
to break open the door. When
this was done, suffocating odor OF
gas was perceived, and the purple
face and frothing mouth of the poor
girl showed all too plainly that she
had been smothered to death by the
poisonous fumes.
The gas was still issuing from the
burner with whistling sound, and
it was the opinion of physician
who was called, that death had re
suited several hours previously.
1t was plain enough that the gir
obeyed the instructions about turn
ing out the light but too literally
She turned the stop and then in or
der to have it square across turned
it back again, letting on full heat
Of gas. The girl jumped into be-
and was soon asleep. She passe'
into the sleep whose bright awaken
ing was in better world, withou
pain or consciousness. God pit,
and sustain the parents and friend
whose hearts will be shocked an
wrung with anguish when the life
less form of the girl shall be born
into their presence this evening"

Yes he could see him plain.
""Well, he has got squad o.

BASE BAIL.-We like decent de-

must confess that the Storey County
Base BalIers through their organ, the
Gold Hill News, express quite as much
confidence as is healthy. Speaking of
the Red Stockings, that paper goes on
to say.
the public will please take particular
notice that these aforesaid invlDcIble
gentlemen of the ruby socks, dld not stop
at Virginia when they Game over the big
railroad, but hurried through TO tackle
the San Francisco Base BailerS first,
under the correct impression that they
would thus achieve II more easy con
quest. Since the late disaster TO our
Virginia boy at Carson, however, these
knights of the vermllIon hose, have
hopes Of conquerlng also, hence their
assurance in proposing ~ come to Nlr-

to know, rs we do, that the Virginia

How CAHNIBALs COOK.-Some French
soldiers were lately taken prisoners by
cannibals 10 the South Sea Islands,
and one ofthem was killed and eaten.
His comrades describe the process.
The Kanaks first decapitate their VIC
tim; a matter of no small difficulty con.
eidering the bluntness oftheir hatchets.
Ten to fifteen blows are necessary. The
body is then hung up to tree by the
| feet, and the blood allowed TO run out
for an hour. Meanwhile hole 10 lined
with stones, and in the midst of them
a great FIRE 10 lit. When the wood is
burned down little and glows with
heat, il is covered over with more
stones. The man is then cleaned out
and divided into pieces about foot
long, the hands and feet being thrown
away as worthless. The pieces of the
man are placed on the leaves Of large
rose tree peculiar to the tropics. The
meat is surrounded with cocoa nuts,
bananas, and some other plants noted
for delicate flavor. The whole is then
tied together firmly; The fire is removed
from the pit; the meat is placed 10
among the hot stones, and thus, care
fully covered, is left to cook for an
hour. Women do not partnke of this
warriors feast. Men alone are per-
mitted to enjoy SO great an honor and
SO rare a dellcacy, which is another
striking instance of the tyranny of the
male sex, and demands ;be appearance
