"a STUDENTS "PRANxo AT HARvARp
C0LLEGE- AN OUTRAGE THAT DEMANDS
IMMEDIATE Correspond
ence of the Springfield Repubkcnn:l
Cambridge, Dec. 16.-One Of the most
dastardly outrages ever committed by stu
dents occurred last evening at about OK
O'Clock IN the basement of Stoughton HALL!
one OF the dormitorfes OF Harvard College.
liz consisted in exploding a small key of:
powder In the cellar immediately under
rooms occupied by members Of the Fresh
man Class. The result was the destruction
.of almost everything in two of the rooms,
the shock having raised the floor more than
a foot, tearing up q plank In each OF the
rooms, scattering and destroying their con-
tents, and sending their occupants forcibly
UP against the ceiling. In two of the ada
cent rooms, one Of which was occupied by
two Springfield High School boys, not so
much damage was done to furniture, but
the floor was divided, and one part raised
nearly:a foot, Of course the rooms were
1mmed iately filled with smoke, which, pour
ing up through the door, Increased the ter
Tor Of the already terrified occupants.
Glass was shattered, and door-sills Wrenched
SO that the doors could not be opened, and
for some time there was great state Of con-
fusion. An alarsn Of fire was started, and
the Fire Department. were quickly on
hand, but fortunately land strangely, too
there was no need Of their services. Some
idea Of the power Of the conclusion may be
gained from the fact that persons in the
second story above were knocked off their
feet, and pictures hanging inrooms in, the
third story were shaken from their nails
to the: floor. The strangest thing about the
explosion Is that nobody was hurt. Prob
ably there Is not half an hour, except in,
the night, when some person does not 60
to the cellar for coal, and if any of the stu
dents had been there at the time they must
have been killed, or very severely injured.
Indeed, one Of the students had a narrow
escape, having been in the cellar but few
minutes before. A person passing by, out
side, was knocked down by the rush of air
from the cellar, and almost stunned. OF
course, under the circumstances, the whole,
affair is charged upon the Sophomores, but
nothing definite Is known. A quantity
of fuse was found in the cellar, which may
aid in. detecting the criminals. President
Eliot, this morning at chapel, spoke of the
outrage, and desired the cooperation Of the
students In bringing the perpetrators to
justice. His speech was heartily applauded
by the students, who are universal in their
contempt for a person who would have the
heart to commit an act SO criminal and

progresses without disturbance. The Dem

ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 2I.-A white man

tonight on the State road. The Deputy
United States Marshal refused to ACCOM-

leader has been arrested.
Returns are indefinite and slow. and the

IGNORANT USE OF DEADLY PoIsoNs.-A
process called .foremanizing, for preventing
the decay of timber by sprinkling it while
green with powder composed Of corrosive
sublimate, arsenic, and common salt, has
been used in the erection of railroad de-
pot Mt St. Louis with Iamentable results.
A large number of the workmen were
poisoned, and four or five children died
from the effects of inhaling the compost
ton. A .post-mortem examination of one
of the victims showed his stomach to be
fearfully liberated, while the lungs and
liver were nearly destroyed by Assesses, the
right lung being one mass of corruption.
The unfortunate man was first attacked
with ulcerous sores and blisters, then expe-

icdiarrhea followed, and he finally dieds
Many of the surviving workmen are said to
be permanently injured, and eleven of
them have brought suits against the rail

used, such q disaster would not have oc-

INcENDIARIs1.-We learn that the barn Of
Mr. Rufus Hedrlck, of Stony Fork, in this
county, was destroyed by fire on Friday
nighslast. The barn contained a quantity
of grain and forage, all of which was con-
sumed. We regret, for the credit of the
county, to add that the burning is supposed
to be the work Of a midnight incendiary,
perpetrated to crafty a reyengeful feeling
towards the old man. However mean He'd
rick may be, we have never heard OF any
thing being laid to his charge half SO devil
his neighbor. Black must be the heart that
would do so foul deed. All good citizens
in the neighborhood should assist Mr. He'd

Within the last ten DAYS an attemnt has
been made by mutual friends OF the Presi.
dent and Mr. Sumner to bring about q
reconciliation, or, at least, d better under.
standing, and, after consultation, the Presi-
dentswas approached on this subject by q
distinguished New England Senator.
The President manifested a good deal OF
feeling, and utterly refused to be persuaded
that the differences could be TecOnciled, or
even TO give bis consent to any movement
having In view reconei iation. The good
OF shs party, de-, was earnestly urged, but
The President replied emphaticaily that
mr. summer had attacked him in executive
session OF the Senate; that he had spoken
butterfly OF him publicly in street-cars and
other public conveYances, and that he had
grossly abused him IN Boston and during
his recent journey West; that on some OF
these occasions Mr.. Summer had attributed
dishonest motives 10 him, and, II he were
not President of the United States, he
should hold Mr. Sumner personally respon-
sible for his language; and demand satisfac-
ton of him. -, ,st. ~ .s.5l Z,
This somewhat startling talk from the
man who the Republicans have almost wor-
shipped as the conqueror Of the rebellion,
put the peace-makers to flight, for. it was
plain that the olive branch would not be
accepted, no matter BY whom rendered.
The staff officers about the President
share his feelings in this matter, and one of
them tGsu. Babcockl Is reported to have
gone 80 far as to declare that if he were not
officially connected with the Executive he
would subject Senator Sumnerto personal
violence. The whole matter creates great
ideal OF talk. 4. IT.. 80. ...,,i ,...
III HOW COZ. FoRNEY WAS CONNECTED.
Mr.. Forney was given to understand by
8 staff officer Of the President that ne was
expected to attack Mr.. Sumner on his
course on the San Domingo question and
his attitude toward the President. This
Mr.. Forney positively refused to do on the
ground that Mr.. Sumner had always been
one Of his warm personal friends, and this
decision withdrew the Presidential favor
from Col. Forney, and, 1t Is even said
closed the doors Of the w hite House against
him. -. 50: &. 81. .52.t--. I
