With Her Reception For the Tenth
Pennsylvania

Omaha, Aug. 26-The delay in hand
ling the four trains bearing the Tenth
Pennsylvania regiment will seriously
mar, if it does not entirely prevent the
reception which it was proposed to ten
der them here. The four sections of the
train are strung out three hours apart
and instead of arriving at in the
morning as planned the first section
cannot reach Omaha before 2 o'clock
and the last will not get here until 8.
1t is now proposed to go ahead with the
reception so far as the changed condi-
tions will permit, but the curtailing Of
the stay in Omaha, together with the
absence during most of the time of i

ha. The trains will leave here at the
appointed time this evening, no matter
how short the stay.

When they arrived at the place they

Gas was flowing from two gas jets. Con-

He says she must have turned on the

became asphyxiated. The police did not

Smallpox in Cleveland.

Cleveland. Ohio, March "a case of
smallpox was discovered to-day in big
downtown apartment house in which
nearly 400 people are living. The victim
is an attorney, and he was the room
mate of Frederick L. Taft, assistant
county solicitor. The sick man was sent
to the smallpox hospital while Mr. Taft
was committed to the detention house and
all the inmates of the building were quar-
antined in the apartment house. The sit
uation is ludicrous in some respects.
Those who were in could not get out and
all who were out when the case was
discovered were refused admttance to
their rooms unless they were willing to
submit to the quarantine regulations.
Most of the people took it good-naturedly.
They communicated with their friends by
telephone, and some of them let down
baskets by ropes from the upper stories
and hauled up various supplies of which
they were in need.
