WASHINGTON, July 1a-[Special IA
large delegation OF Democratic Congress-
men expect to 60 over to New York
Wednesday to witness the notification
ceremonies at Madison Square Garden, but
Senator Hill will not be among them. It is
understood that he has not been invited.
Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia, and
Representative Mitchell, of Wisconsin,
representing the Congressional Campaign
Committee, have been authorized to make
the necessary arrangements for the COM
mittee to visit New York, and it is under
stood that nearly all the members will be
present.
In addition to the Congressional members
of the National Committee, which is to
meet Thursday following the notification of
the Presidential candidates, a rumor was
circulated at the Capitol to-day that
neither Senators German nor Brice would
attend the meeting at Madison Square Gar
den. Senator German, however, said that
as a member of the National Committee he
fully expects to be present. 1t is possible
he may be detained here as one of the Sem
ate conterees on sundry civil appropriation
bill. If his services are not needed here in
that connection Wednesday and Thursday,
he and Senator Brice will 60 20 New York.

Dress Suits Not Necessary During the
Cleveland Notification Ceremonies.
New YORK. July 1S.-[ Special THE
Executive Committee and the Finance
COMMITTEE of the General Committee of
One Hundred having In charge the arrange
ments for the notification of Cleveland and
Stevenson of their nomination, met in City
Hall to-day at noon. The money needed to
defray the expenses of the ceremony having
been contributed by members of the COM
mittee, offers of contributions that have
been received were declined. Applications
for reserved seats and to have space set
apart in the garden for campaign clubs and
associations are SO many that if all were
granted the capacity of the house would be
exhausted and there would be no room for
the general public, for whose benefit the
public ceremony was arranged.
The programme for the ceremonies in the
garden is a very short and simple one. Con-
gresham William L. Wilson will deliver
the speech of notification to Mr.. Cleveland,
who will respond. Then ex-Lieutenant
Stephen NJ. White, of California, will
notify Mr.. Stevenson in a short speech.
The latter's response will close the pro-
ceedings, and the candidates will go at once
to the Manhattan Club, where reception
in their honor will be held. It will be
very democratic affair, the dress suit not
being necessary.

THE COMING TRIP TO NEW YORK CITY

| BUzzARD's BAY, MASS, July 49,
Robert Lincoln O'Brien, private secretary
to Hon. Grover Cleveland, came rushing
over to the station this morning from GRAY
Gables with big grip OF mail He was too
late to catch the early-closing mail at the
village postoffice, but succeeded in pouring
the contents of the yellow bag containing
the ex-President's correspondence onto the
floor of the mail car.
Mr.. Cleveland spent good part of the
night in clearing up his correspondence, and
this morning active preparations were going
forward for his departure to New York.
The Benedict steam yacht Oneida was
moored in the ofing awaiting the e1-Presi-
dents party.
While no public statement was made that
Mr.. Cleveland will take the all-water route
down the bay and out into the sound on the
pleasure craft, it was learned from reliable
source that it was the intention now to
embark on the Benedict craft. Mrs. joseph
Jefferson, wife of the veteran actor, is
expected to accompany the Cleveland party
to New York.
Meeting OF the Two Candidates,
When the S15 train out of Boston arrived
here several minutes late this afternoon, a
tall, angular man, square -shouldered and
attired in suit of black worsted alighted
and looked about the platform with an evil
dent air of wonderment if he had
reached the right spot. He was
accompanied by two other men. He was
General AIlai E. Stevenson. of Illinois, the
Democratic candidate for Vice President,
and his companions were e1-United States
District Attorney N. G. Ewing of Chicago,
and Louis j. Lange, of New York.
Hon. Grover Cleveland stood in the door
way of the Old Colony station chatting with
MI. Josiah Jones, of Sandwich, and the lat
ter's son when the train came in. As Cen
eral Stevenson appeared. followed by Mr..
Ewing and Mr.. Lange, Cleveland sprang
forward and, grasping the Generals arm,
reached out his hand as he said, In hearty
tone: "How are you, General?''
The Ticket on tho Seat of a Carriage.
Stevenson turned to see who it was and
grasping his hand, said: "I'm glad to see
you"
Mr. Ewing was introduced, and the three

He Attempted Blackmail and an Investiga-
ton showed That He Had Murdered
Four Girls-No Motive for His Crime Ex-
cept Love of Killing.
LONDON, July 18.-Thomas Neill, ar
rested for attempting to blackmail DR.
Harper, of Barnstaple, was to-day arraigned
before Sir John Bridge, in the Bow Street
Police Court, on the charge of having
murdered Matte Glover by administering
strychnine to her. The case has excited
widespread interest, as showing how u
criminal can overreach himself and place
himself within the clutches of the law. If
Neill had not, for some inscrutable reason,
attempted to blackmail several prominent
persons, he would probably have been free
to-day to pursue his career of yillainy and
murder.
When the police followed up the clew
furnished by the letter written by Neill to
DR.. Harper they came across indisputable
evidence that the blackmailer was a mur-
derer, and the further they examined into
the case the more they became convinced
that Neill was responsible for the deaths Of
at least four girls.
When Neill was brought in and placed in
the dock there was general craning of
neckS TO see nlW ne looked we'll anu nlS
face betrayed no sign of anxiety or trouble.
He asked to be furnished with writing
materials and when they were given to him
he made copious notes OF the proceedings.
Mr.. c. F. Gill appeared on behalf of the
Treasury. He said he would prove the cir
cumstances under which Matilda Glover
was murdered and he asked that the pris-
oner be committed. Mr. Gill added that he
would have to refer to the deaths Of three
other girls who were killed in manner
precisely similar to the Glover girl. The
Court granted Mr. Gill's request and the
prisoner was remanded.
A popularity of the crimes with which
Neill is charged is the apparent lack of mo-
tive The case is believed to be without
parallel in the annals of English criminal
Jurisprudence. Deeming, the wholesale
wife-murderer who was recently executed in
Melbourne, had a motive for his crimes, q
desire to get rid Of women he had tired of,
but apparently Neill murdered simply for
the sake of murder
