EAST LIVERPOOL, o., January o.
Eleven persons were maliciously poisoned

victims is dead and the recovery Of the
Others is doubtful Particulars not yet
received.
A party, at which eleven persons were

dence Of Nj. Vanfossen, of this city.
During the evening coffee was passed
around and 0 after drinking it all be-
came violently i'll, with symptoms of pois-
oning. An investigation proved that this
was true, as at the bottom of the coffee
pot was found a paper labeled Rough on
Rats" One of the victims, a child, a
niece Of Vanfossen, died at midnight and
others are not expected to live. A search
ing investigation is in progress and in
tense excitement prevails. The names of
| the parties were not obtainable.

BUFFALO, January 9.-The Charity
Ball held at Gennesee was a most brilliant
and successful affair ofthe kind ever given
in that city. Particularly was this so
when the elegant toilets Of the ladies and
beautiful decorations Of the hotel are
taken into consideration. The presence
of President-elect Cleveland did much to-
wards bringing this about, and the best
classes of Buffalo were represented. The
guests began to arrive about II o'clock
when the hotel was virtually closed to all
but those who came to attend the ball
The guests were received at the main en-
trance. The throng was very great. The
entire first floor with its great sweep Of
frontage on Main and Gennesee streets
was devoted to the purpose Of the ball.
The cafe on the ground floor was devoted
for the supper room and was crowded
from shortly before midnight until the
close OF the ball.

Ray Radiant.

CHICAGO, January 9.-Miss Louise
Ray, a teacher in the public schools for
h apast three years, resigned last Mon
day. She has fallen heir to a fortune of
$4,000. Miss Rays uncle was an origi-
nal '49er and after making a good deal of
money, settled down in Portland, Ogn.
He made a will eleven years ago in which
he left his eptire fortune, 5000, 900, to his
sister, Miss Rays mother. She died six
years ago, but he never knew it, and after
his death, which occurred about two
months ago, the property was divided up
among six children. The good new came
about three weeks age, and woman like,
the teacher had to tell her scholars about
it and that is how the story came out.

WASHINGTON, January 9.-Senator
Dolph reported favorably from the com
mittee on public lands a bill to amend the
revised Statutes relating to the entry Of
coal lands, by reducing the price Of such
lands from $40 to S. per acre where lands
are more than fifteen miles from any
completed railroad and from $40 to $40
where lands are within fifteen miles of a
completed railroad. In submitting the
report Senator Dolph said that all other
mineral lands are sold at IS per acre and
there is no good reason for the difference
in price which now exists between coal
lands and other mineral lands. He also
said should the bill be passed the sale of
coal lands would be largely increased. the
opening and development of coal mines
greatly stimulated and the receipts of the
Government from the sale of this class of
lands considerably augmented.
The board appointed to investigate the
comparative merits of anthracite and
bituminous coal for ordinary naval uses
reports that it considers anthracite better
adapted for the purposes named than
bituminous. The board is. however. Of
the opinion that emi-bituminous coal is
better than either, especially If the prac-
tically smokeless variety can be obtained.

WASHINGTON, January General
Sherman in answer to a question as tothe
effect of Gen. Grants declination to re-
ceive the fund being raised for his benefit
said, "Of course, that will put stop to
the whole thing and nothing now will be
done about it. 1 presume though that
the legal defense which was secured Tor
him will be retained. Gen. Grant has
friends who will look out for his interests
outside of those who were interesting
themselves is his behalfin this particular
instance" I
The Swain Court Martial Court ruled
out the testimony of witness Deakers upon
ground Of his want of belief in the exist

Chinese Children in Schools.

SAN Francesca, January 9.-Superior
Judge Mcguire decided to-day in the case
of Mamie Lape, a Chinese girl, 10 years
of age, against Mrs. Jennie M. A. Hur-
ley, principal Of the public schools Of this
city, that Chinese children born in this
country are entitled to admission into the
public schools. The decision is based on
the fourteenth amendment which secures
equal privileges to all persons born within
the United States subject to their juris-
diction and on the State law which pro-
vides that all children shall have equal IA
~cilities for acquiring an education in the
public schoolA The decision has created
much surprise and excitement,

About-the Size of It.

QUEBEC, January s[The Lecouuier
Du Canada newspaper, discussing a re-
cent article of the London Tines on the
Nicaraguan canal difficulty and the posi-
bility of a rupture between England and
the United States, adds: There is no
doubt that Canada would become the
theater of operations and in our case we
would have the right to protest and refuse
to allow ourselves to be slaughtered like
sheep. We are asked to endure all the
calamities and all the horrors of war to
defend England's interests in Central
America. This is really coming it too
strong and we hardly think that our
loyalty will permit us to enter upon SO
perilous a path"

WASHINGTON, January Captain
Salmon Tuttle and j. w. Hamilton, of
Kansas, members Of the Cherokee Strip
Live Stock Association and sub-lessees of
land held by that association. were exam
ined by the Senate committee on Indian
affairs to-day. 1t was found that the as
ISOLATION held about six million acres of
land, rented from the Cherokees at 2 cents
an acre, and that the sub-lesses paid p
cents per acre for it. Senator Harrison
asked what use was made of the surplus.
Senator ingalls, objected on the ground
that this was inquiring into the private
business Of the witnesses. He would not
object. he said. to an inquiry as to whether
and what portion of the surplus was paid
in securing the lease. Senator Harrison
maintained that his inquiry was necessary
TO develope the facts in the case. The
committee went into secret session to con
the scope of further investigation.

Fine outlook for Kaiser Land.

BERLIN, january o. Emperor William
has written a letter in reply to a New
Years address presented to him by the
municipal authorities of Berlin. He
dwells upon the political and economic
progress which the country has made in
recent years. The settlements in Africa
which have been placed under the pro-
lection of the Empire will give an addi-
tional outlet, he says, to German enter
prise and will prove a stimulant to trade
and manufacturing, under the auspices of
peace. which he trusts will continue.
There is every prospect that Germany
will continue to make gratifying progress
in material and moral welfare.

C~leveland's Plans.

WASHINGTON, January 9.-Colonel
Lamont, Mr.. Cleveland's private secretary,
said this morning: "Mr. Cleveland has
not yet fixed the day when he viii come
to Washington. but l am pretty sure he
will not arrive until within a very few
days of his Inauguration. I know he felt
as if a great load had been lifted from his
shoulders when his resignation as Cover
nor took effect. For you know the last
week Of his administration was unusually
onerous. He now has time to attend to
the future"
