nj the Apparatus That Resulted in u
Tragedy.
ITHACA, n. ", Feb. 22.-Thomas Nc
Neill Of Pittsburg, one Of the Cornell
freshmen who were poisoned with gas by
sophOmores, is dead. This is the second
human life which has been sacrificed to
the so-called sport Of the upper-class men.
Grcss, employed as cook by the students
who expired shortly after midnight. She
was unconscious when taken from the
hall where the fatal banquet was held to
the Office of DIR. Lockerby, the university
physician, and though restoratives were
applied and every effort was made to
save her life she never regained conscious
ness.
Had Arranged supper.
The outrage occurred in the large hall of
the university Masonic societies. The
freshmen had arranged supper and shortly
after II O'Clock Mrs. Jackson, who was en-
ployed as cook by an Ithaca caterer, failed
to respond To the demands of the students
FOR new supply Of food. She WAS in one
Of the ante-roOms used as kitchen lead
ing off from the main hall Two :of the
feasting students We're sent to find out the
trouble. When they opened the door of
the kitchen sIiffocating odor of gas and
"a cloud of vapor flooded into the banquet
hall, and at almost the same instant stu
dents at the other end of the room were
overcome by a strong odor of gas tnat
seemed to come from the floor The stu
dents were panic-stricken and made rush
for the door leading into the street. Three
or four of the men were unable to move
and others had faileDto the floor.
Six students overcome.
The odor Of gas was sitting and it was
with difficulty that the freshmen who
were not entirely overcome reached the
street. When they did so and recovered
from the effects of the gas they rushed
hack into the hail and dragged out six of
their fellow students vho were PROSTATE
on the floor The students who were over
come were taken to n neighboring drug
store and restoratives applied They all
recovered with the exception of McNeiIl.
The others will all recover. Ii was at
first thought that ga@l,ipv in the hall had
burst, but an exaniuS Stion of the place
made by the police r ealed dastardly
plot on the part of the sophomores. After
the freshmen had entered the hall and
Were enjoying their banquet some of the
sophomores invaded the cellar of the
building and boreda1p big holes in the
Kitchen and one in the yoor of the banquet
hall.
What Caused the Deaths.
The police discovered on table in the
cellar large earthen jug corked. In
the cork were two rubber tubes. which ran
nearly up to the ceiling, where they Were
connected with two glass tubes. These
tubes ran through the holes in the floor,
thus iiberating in the room above the gas
generated from the jug, which was found
to be chlorine, n mixture of salt and sui
phuric acid. The police made hurried
search for the authors Of the plot but have
so far made no arrests All the sopho-
mores were questioned and denied any
knowledge of the plot, sbut the names of
those who are responsible are known to

 COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 16.-There is prob- ably 2500 people, including delegates and visitors, at the populist state convention in Nelson's Grove, near the city, today. The representation is sectional rather than gen. eral, however, and a number of congress slonal districts are not represented at all. Hugh Cavanaugh of Cincinnati presides and c. R. Martin of Tiffin, who was chosen secretary of the MeBryde state labor con- vention, was made temporary secretary, indicating that fusion will be made.
 J. $. Coxey arrived this morning and is the central figure in the convention. If he were not candidate for congressa he would no doubt be chosen to lead the state ticket. The work of the morning session was pre- liminary for the most part.
 This afternoon the committee on resolu- tions, acting under instructions from the convention, with the committee on resolu- tions from the Mcbride state labor eonven- tion, reported the platform adapted by the latter convention yesterday, supplemented by blanks indorsing the platform of the Omaha convention. favoriug liberal pen- sions to yldischarged union sol. diers, indorsing the Coxey good road proposition and declaring against the issu- ing of interest bearing bonds. This was adopted by the convention.
 The labor convention delegates were in- vited to the convention and will be pres ent tomorrow, when this platform will again be adopted and state ticket be nominated. John Seitz of Tiffiu was made permanent chairman and o. k. Martin of Findlay secretary.
 J. 8. Coxey ;n speech denounced both the old parties for their failure to keep their promises to the people and their sub. serviency to trusts and corporations. The parade this evening was a failure, there being not more than thousand people in line

WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE HOLDS A
 MEETING-soME ERRORS TO BE COR
 RECPED.
 WASHINGTON, Aug 16.-The first meet ing for several weeks of the house ways aud means committee was held this after noon. MT. Wilson, chairman of the com mittee, came back from West Virginia in order to be present. The purpose of the meeting was to consider the bill introduced yesterday by Mir. McMillin of Tennessee to correct the paragraph of the tariff bill which makes free alcohol used Tn the arts and ia medical compounds. 1t was or- dered to be reported favorably without di- vision.
 MT. Tarsney of Missouri then called up bill introduced by him on Monday last, which provides that lead ore in which the component of chief value is silver shall be declared silver ore and permitted to enter free of duty. The republicans opposed the bill and it was defeated by strict party vote-6 to 5.
 Before the meeting adjourned Chairman Wilson announced that he has been in- formed by the officials of the treasury de- partment that the paragraph in the tariff bill relating to diamonds could be so con- strued as to permit the free entrance of those articles, and said that at a subse- graph would be called up.
 This led MT. Reed of Maine to remark sarcasticaly that the poor people of the country ought not to be denied the privi- lego of free diamonds if they wanted them. This observation caused a general laugh, which was followed immediately by ad- journment ofthe committed.

MALLORY DEFEATED.

HIS VOTE ON THE SHERMAN ACT DID IT.
 CLEVELAND INDoRsED.
 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Aug. 16.-A special to the Times Union from Monticello, Fla. says: The democratic convention of the First Congressional district of Florida met here today to nominate a successor to Hon. H. R. Mallory of Pensacola, the present incumbent. MT. Mallory was a candidate for renomination and was opposed by Hon. s. H. Sparkman of Tampa, the chairman of the state executive committee. The con- vention adopted the two-thirds rule and twenty ballots were taken without result, but on the twenty first ballot Spark man received 114h votes, AZ more than was necessary to nominate. His nomination was then made unanimous.
 MT. Mallory voted against the repeal of the Sherman act and fight was made on him because of it, but the principal reason for his retirement was that south Florida demanded the.congressman this time.
 The convention indorsed Cleveland's ad ministration, and especially commended the presidents financial views.

WHOLESALE DISCHARGE
OF RAILROAD LIEN ON THE UNION PACIFIC

OF hAllhOAD DEN ON THE UNION fACiFlC
 RAILROAD.
 OMAHA, Neb. Aug. 16.-Over 2000 men have been formally discharged from the Union Pacific as result of the great strike and others are being replaced daily. Two hundred and fifty engineers and firemen are included in the list. Some of the engineers and firemen were with the com pany for twenty years and upwards. In most cases the men do not blame the com pany for the action, saying they were mis- led by the American Railway union and that they made mistake in going out at all.
 In some cases the places of the strikers have been filled with new men but so stag nant is business that many of the places re- main vacant until business will warrant an increase in pay rolls. Every man who went ou strike is known at headquarters, and the black list has grown greatly since the reports have commenced to come in from the division superintendents. Some little trouble is anticipated by the manage nent of the Union Pacific when it comes to displacing the old employees from the com- pany's houses along the line to make way for new men who have families, but the company is determined to give their new men privileges enjoyed by the strikers.

OFF TO CRAY CABLES.
President Cleveland Compelled to Leave the Capital to Recuper-
 ate His Health.

WAsHISdToN, Aug. 16.-President Cleveland left the city early this morning. Private Secretary Thurber makes public the following statement in regard to the presidents departure: "The president left this morning fer a few days absence under advice of his physicians, in hope of shaking off an attack of malaria, from which he has been suffering for several days. Yesterday the attack eliminated in fever, but which was under control this morning.
 "Dr. O'Reilly, his physician, expressed no doubt that few days of salt air will re- cuperate the president sufficiently for him to renew his official duties and he will return to Washington by the middle of next week. He has gone to Gl az Gables and ia accompanied by Dr. O'Reiily." M
 The president has never fully recovered from the attack of malaria which caused him to make two trips in light house ten- der down Chesapeake bay and outside the capes. Anxiety over the tariff situation, it is supposed, aggravated his indisposition, and when the matter was ended by the ac- tion of the house in passing the tariff bill relaxation came and made change of air necessary.
 The president left by the 7:10 train over the Pennsylvania road He took no action upon the tariff bill before his departure, beyond sending it to the secretary of th e treasury for report, as is customary with revenue bills.
