PRINCETON. Ind, July 2.-The poison.
ing OF several persons at Sun
day-school picnic held at PATIO
ks, q few miles north of this
place. Thursday is still causing great deal
of excitement. There were fourteen per-
soma, mostly children, affected, and
some of them are still in q
very serious condition. Mrs. Henry
Harrison, who prepared the re-
freshments fors the picnic, is
one of the most serious cases
and her recovery is regarded as very doubt
full. Her husband and daughter who were
also affected, are very low. Among
the other sufferers is twelve
year-old daughter of Alonzo Greaw and
Mrs. John w. Agar and little son. No
fatalities have yet resulted. but
it is hardly probable that all
to the cause of the poisoning, but
there is no general agreement among
them except that the poison
was in the ice-cream. Some think that
Mrs. Harrison by mistake used. instead of
favoring extract, a preparation known
which had been kept by the family as a
medicine. Physicians say the symptoms
are those of arsenical poisonin q.
that enough of this preparation would
likely have been used as substitute
for favoring. Mrs. Harrison, who
might give possible solution of the
dition that she is unable to do so.
There seems to be no doubt that the poison
was in the cream, rs only those who par
took of it were affected.

THE FIRST SESSION.

Delegates Welcomed by the Mayor-Reply by
Ben Terreil-Chsirman Eliington's Speech.
OMAHA, July 2.-The national conven-
tion of the Peoples party convened in this
city at 10 o'clock this morning. Long be-
fore the hour of gathering the vast hall
was crowded with visitors. The scene pre-
sented had all the characteristics of q
great national convention. There was one
significant differences between the gather,
ing to-day and the national conclaves of
the Democratic and Republican parties
held few days ago. In the convention
to-day the politician was conspicuously
absent Tactics and subterfuge gave
place to open declarations. and all there
was of politics in this convention was on
the surface and plainly manifested in
every demonstration that their reason af-
forded. Indeed. there was little of that
competition for factional advantage that
is typical of all other national conven-
tions. EVERYBODY seemed to be in q con-
gratulatory mood over the large attend
ance at the convention. and there was
general determination that harmony
should be preserved on all questions and
that the most available man shOuld be Sc
lected to lead the ight in the coming cam
paign.
The great preparations made at the Chi
caGo wIRwam and by the Republicans at
Minneapolis are noted by their absence at
the Coliseum at Omaha. Nevertheless the
building presented gay and inviting ap-
pearance as the delegates began to assem-
BILE, and as the hour for the meeting ap-
preached. an exhibition of enthusi asm was
added to this sprightliness which could
not be exceeded If the hall would contain
The circular building had been arranged in
terraces with a number of outlets which
prevented any ything approaching confus-
l0D. Flags and banners tiOated from every
pillar. arch, and the display of evergreene
in something in the nature of triumphal
arches, not the less inviting because of
their scarcity, added degree of freshness
to the scene, while the numerous devices
emblematic of the party's principles was q
welcome 70 delegates more from the artis-
tic character of the designs than for the
sentimert Of unity they expressed. The
day helped not little to add spice to the
gathering. The sun shone in through the
many windows with which the Coliseum is
provided, lending it's influence to the in
spring scene.
The delegates were slow In arriving
Representatives of the press were first to
enter. Then delegation after delegation fol.

attire. in keeping with the day. The most
conspicuous banner displayed was one by
the Connecticut delegation. On 1t was the
inscription:

ORIGIN OF THE TALL HAT.
1T FIRST APPEARED IN FARCE NEAR.
Ly FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.


The hat proper--thst Is, the raise d
hal-was first made In England by
Spanish matters about 1910, having
been introduced into France century
earlier. The gay young courtiers Oi
the Queen-Elizabet OF Immortal
memory-shone resplendont In high
crowned hats OF rare device, which,
like brilliant Raleigh, they, hung
round with strings Of pearls. Kings
10y describes his Elizabeth al venturer,
John oxenham, as having on his head
n "broad velvet Spanish hat" and
Master Frank Leigh IN shading his
delicate complexion with "broad
dove-colored Spanish hat, with feather
to match, Topped up over the ear with n
pearl brooch"
But hats or caps were worn accord
ing TO taste or circumstances, aud Scott
tell US that when Leicester rode bare
beaded at EliEabeth's side on her en-
try into kenllworth his esquire had
charge OF his lordship's black velvet
bonnet, garnished with a clnsp OF dla-
monds anu hurmounted with white
plume.
BY a statute OF 1865 velvet hats or
caps wero prohibited to all persons
under the degree OF knight, and by
another, enacted In 1871, every person,
except ladies, lords, knights and gem
tlemen have twenty marks q year In
landed estate, was required to wear
Sundays and holidays a home made

said. II Is as follows:

CORK, June 26.-While Mr.. O'Brien
was attending mass this morning a
crowd OF Parnelites surrounded the
church and continuously jeered and
hooted. When Mr.. O'Brien emerged
from the church he was surrounded by
a crowd Of -Parnellites, and having
boarded a car, was escorted to his
hotel. Several fights occurred on the
way, sticks being freely used. Outside
the hotel serious conflict arose in
which several persons were injured.
The crowd was finally dispersed by the
police.
William Redmond and the Lord May
or of Dublin made an attempt this
morning TO canvass Blarney street, an
Anti-ParEellite stronghold. They were
continuously pelted with stones and
were compelled to flee.
An Anti-Parnellite meeting held TINS
afternoon addressed by Mr. O'Brien
was attacked by Parnellites who used
sticks and stones freely. The Anti
Parnelltes fed.
Mr.. Redmond and the LORD Mayor OF
Dublin, supported by 5000 Parnellites
marched through Blarney street. The
Parnellites broke the windows of many
houses as they went along and the resi-
dents took shelter in their houses.
The Parnellites then held meeting.
in the streets, addresses being made by
Mr.. Redmond and the Lord Mayor OF
Dublin. After the meeting Parnellites
wrecked the rooms of the Blackpole
Baak and smashed ia the windows. The
anti-Parnellites being in the minority
were unable to cope with the Parneil-
ties. The police vera too few in num-
Der to stop the disorder. Fifteen injur-
ed combatants were taken to the hos
pital for treatment.
Mr.. O'Brien addressed an anti Par
nellite meeting this evening. He began
by declaring that if they were attacked
they, the anti-Parnelites, would defend
themselves. The issue at stake, he
said, was whether they should abandon
Gladstone and all the chances OF Home
Rule by electing factionists, or whether
they should send a united party to par
lament.

Convention. Much remains 10 be done
before all will be ready for the coming

laid. The Coliseum which is 10 be used
as the hall for the convention until We'd
nesdsy occupied by large manutactur-
ers association. 1t is now in the hands OF
mechanics who have removed the ma
chinery and are rapidly changing the
hall for convention. The hall will seat

On the speakers platform will be ac-
comodations for 800 persons. or this,
room space for $50 working newspaper
msn will be reserved. The Western

les will have branch offices within easy
access Of the platform and promise TO

In many respects the convention will
be unique. II hHs no precedents to

some confusion may result from this
reason. Then who will proceed Il a

LONDON, June 26.-Dr. Talmage
preached by special invitation OF Rev.
Joseph Parker, the celebrated English
divine, in the City Temple this fore
noon. Long before the opening hour a
dense mass of people besieged the doors
of the Temple. The crowd was so
tightly wedged that women tainted dur

greeted him with loving cordiality
Talmage's sermon moved the auditors
TO tears. At the conclusion, DR.. Parker
took the platform, addressing the aud

Aftlr the services, and as the congre-
cation was being dismissed, DR.. Parker
embraced the American preacher in the
pastors study and fervently invited
him to make the City Temple his head

found that a great audience remained
outside and an almost impossible crowd
flocked the street He was immediately
surrounded by aIU.owd which was kept
back by the pUnce, while the Doctor,
guarded by policemen, made a brief
address, standing in his carriage while
he spoke. 10 the coach were Miss Maude
Talmage and Doctor and Mrs. Louis
