CURED at East Conemaugh yesterday. A
little 2-year-old child, the daughter of Mr..
Bowsef, of Franklin township, took a dose of
opium, from the effects of which she died to-

the food and few days ago became i'll. Dr.
Davis of East Conemaugh, attended him and
prescribed a mixture of opium.
On Wednesday night, while the father was
sleeping, his little girl entered the room. and
seeing the bottle on the table determined to
taste the contents. She did SO and the medi-
cine so tickled her palate that she took good
swallow. She became violently i'll in few
minutes and despite the efforts of the physi-
clan, who labored with her all night, she died
in the morning. MCSWIGAN.

mittees. Messrs. Blaine and Window being of
this class, Vice-President Morton's question as

OF manner. Finally, after the reception had

the impatience for the Presidents visit TO the

THE NAU G URAL BALL,

but it was of no avail. The wrong carriages
were constantly slipping past to the 5th-street
entrance.
"Where is your ticket?" the officer would
bawl.
81 have it in my pocket" was the calm reply
of the coachman, keeping his horses moving,
however
Let mo see it." bawled the officer as he
backed his horse.
The coachman would tumble about without.
of course stopping his horses, and then would
produce ticket that had no reference to the
occasion.
By that time the carriage would be some dis
tance down 5th street. and long line OF car
riages closely in the rear. 1t was impossible to
turn around as a rule, and so the officer had to
give up the contest and let the carriage pass
He would then tackle the next carriage, with
probably the same result. At times there would
be brief interval in the arrivals, and then the
mounted officer could be heard complaining
that he had had no sleep for two nights and he
was getting played out
TURNED BACK.
large number of the carriages were turned
back and compelled to approach the building
by the G street entrance. On G street there
was not such crush, as the number of double
carriages were less than the one-horse vehicles
Shortly after 9 O'Clock, when the crowd of ar
rivals seemed to reach the highest point, the
line of cabs hansoms, and coupes extended
al tue way from the L street entrance down
past 9th street. AS occupants left the vehicles
| the latter were driven to 4th street, where the
circuit was made around to 7th street.
CALLING CARRIAGES
Those coming in hired vehicles were provi
ded with tickets by the owners of the vehicles,
which entitled them to be taken home in the
first conveyance that drove up. The owners
OF private carriages were furnished with num-
| bers, which were flashed upon u large stereop-
tican screen located upon the top OF the build
ing at the northwest corner. The private car
riages were parked on ! G. street. between 7th
and 9Th, and the coachmen being furnished
with duplicate numbers were notified that they
were wanted by seeing their numbers on the
screen. The arrangement made for the ap-
| proach OF the carriages to the building seemed
to work admirably, and the great crowd was
handled with but little confusion and DELAY, At
the corner of 5th and streets where the
crush was the greatest, a large force of police
men would have been of advantage.
FOOT PASSENGERS
1t must not be presumed that everybody
came in carriages. Large numbers arrived on
foot and by street cars. The ladies tucked up
| their dresses, put on rubbers, and saved the
expense Of carriage, and they no doubt
looked as pretty and enjoyed themselves as
much as IL they had come to the ball in $40
carriage or q IS cab. It was after 10 o'clock
before the people stopped coming, and by that

richly-dressed occupants About each entrance
on 9Th stLeet and G street there was
a group of spectators, who. raided now and
then by the police, rapidly disappeared. and as
rapidly appeared again. Probably they sank
in the earth under the magic charm of the
policeman's wand; at any rate they resumed
their old places. with puZzling rapidity and the
police. with intervals of spasmodic rushes,
officially winked at their presence. On the op-
posite side of the street was also fringe of
spectators lining the curb, and they stood pa
tiently under their dripping umbrellas enjoy
ing the glimpses obtained of the gay costumes
of the ball people. Even at
THE STREET ENTRANCE.
which was in the grounds surrounding the
building, and in consequence of the rain sea
of mud, there were groups of the irrepressible
outside ball-goers. They found the slippery
sides of the fountain, directly opposite the
entrance, an improvement over the mud,
which was ankle deep, and all these coigns Of
advantage were pre-empted at an early hour.
The fountain, fortunately, was not playing.
although If it had been the position could not
have been much wetter.
coIGN OF VANTAGE.
A more eligible location than any thing in
side of the entrance were the sides Of the
long covered approaches. 1t was not only
sheltered from the rain, but there was some
thing to lean against, and then there was a
better opportunity to see the jewellers as they
passed in. There were women well as men
among the exterior attendant at the bali and
from the general appearance of some who
frescoed the bare board walls Of the approaches
it would be fair to assume that they were de-
tectves. They had the searching glance OF
the detective which means so little or so much
TICKET sPEcULAToRs.
Then there were men who held conspicu.
ously in front Of them large white envelopes
with prominent red seal attached. To the
initiated the envelope was recognized as the
ones which enclosed the ball souvenir accom-
panying the ticket. In fact in m unobtrusive
sort OF way these men intimated to all inter
ested that they had ball tickets for sale. They
were not the authorized agents of the execn
| tive committee, but for slight advance they
! were willing to accommodate ticketless people
One of these men whose cheek had the soft
downy look of spring peach, was overheard

The crowd had been massing about the 5th
street entrance for nearly an hour. so that it
was dihcuit for the reception committee. by
forming double line, to keep a passage clear
When 1t was announced that the President had
arrived. three cheers rang from one end to the
other of the great hall. and echoed in the arches
three times more. When the President got on
the first step he turned his head slightly to look
upon the assemblage, and this movement was
greeted with more cheering and beating of fans
against small gloved hands.
~ THE PRESIDENTS ROOMS.
The party at once proceeded to the Presi-
dents rooms, under escort of the full executive
committee, with Col. Cody in the lead breaking
the way. The rooms occupied by the commits
sioner OF pensions, gorgeously decorated and
furnished for the occasion. were reserved for
the President and his family. The suite con-
sisted of four rooms, the first of which
second, the large Office of the commits
sioner, was the reception room, and
the others were for dressing-rooms and exit.
The walls of the reception-room were lined
with royal purple velvet from ceiling to carpet.
with festooned dado of old gold plush, with
the same material in blue in heavy drapery
over the doors and windows. Over the main
door was fancy piece of shield and arms in
bronze. Another of similar design rested over
the old-fashioned chimney piece. Cabinets,
ranged. In the middle of the room was a
fountain. with dome of colored glass. which
poured out a delicate spray of perfume. Near
this, in front of the inner piece, was a
| double throne with canopy made of pink,
white, and red roses. On the canopy the word
Inauguration" was worked in flowers of deep
red, and at the back of one seat was the name
Harrison, and on the other Morton. similarly
worked. Heavy velvet portieres hung at the
doors, and from the ceiling in ali directions
against the plush-covered walls hung delicate
festoons of smllax. The effect was rich beyond
description. Stands of palms and other potted
plants were used in decoration of the waiting
room and the staircase.
BEGINNING THE HAND-sHAKING.
As soon the President had removed his
overcoat he received first the reception COM
mittee and ladies accompanying them, and
then the members of the diplomatic corps.
He stood little aside from the center of the
| reception. Judge McCammon, the chairman
OF the reception committee, stood at his right,
with Mr.. Kern, of Missouri, and introduced the
callers. On his immediate left stood Col
Berret, ex-Secretary Boutwell,. Mr.. G. c..
Glover, @. G. Cornwall and other members Of
the reception and executive committees.
This reception was intended to be but q
| small matter, to include none but the commit
tee and the diplomatic corps, and to be over
in about ten minutes, but it soon enlarged into
general hand-shaking which threatened to
