The youngest child wss the first to give eviden -e ofdis-order, and the mother believing it to be nothing more than temporary stomach pains, gave the child peppermint and other ordinary remedies In two hours after it was taken sick, the little sufferer was oflsod with a fit of vomiting whioh was followed by oonvulsious A physician was summoned and he gave it as his opinion that the child had been poisoned in some way. Before the doctor left two other children were seised with the same symptoms, and then it became quite apparent to the physician that the family bad inadvertently partaken of some poicouous substance. Inquiries were msde as to whether auy canned meats or other preserved pabulum hod been consumed. Tbe father said that nothing of the kind had been on the table.

The doctor administered antidotes and departed with a portion of tho substance ejected by one of the children to make an analysis of it. While be wss gone the other child and both parents were seised with violent fits of vomiting. The physician was hastily summoned again by a neighbor, and medicine given. There was new no longer any doubt but poison had in some way been partaken of by the entire family, ana the doctor was greatly putzled as to tbe character of tbe deleterious matter, as wall as to the method of its introduction. Uoon returning to his office jtbe physician began au immediate examination of too contents of the stomach of oue of the children aud ho labored tor hours fore tbe analysis was completed.

At last the truth was revealed and the doctor was startled at the discovery be bad made. He said nothing, but upon his return to the sick family, who were found to bo slowly recovering from agonies that had been endured, he whispered to tbe mother, who being able to move about, went to tbe kitchen cupboard and brought out a box of baking powder.

The platform just in the rear of the arch, having beau beautifully arranged with ferns and house plants, presented a very prettv appearance.

The inscription, "Christian Education." was appropriate and was rendered doubly prominent by its elegant floral surroundings. The subject of this year's design was a harp, and as a representative from each of the twenty-nine classes of the school placed bis or her section in its allotted position, reciting at the same time an appropriate scriptural passage, and as tbe work progressed and the "instrument" neared completion the service grew more interesting. The program was quite a lengths one snd would have become monotonous had it not been relieved by tbe many charming songs and choruses rendered by the choir and school. There was an im mensB crowd, notwithstanding tbe swel sweltering weather.and the ushers lound it necessary to place additional seats in the aisles so that all might enjoy the service without having to stand. Floral Sunday was also observed in a charming manner by the Presbyterian Sab bath school yesterday morning and last evening, the spacious auditorium being crowded on both occasions.

Tbe platform was surmounted by an elaborate floral arch upon which the word "Children" ap peared, the balance of tbe scriptural quotation, Seek Me Early" being on the wall in the rear. Underneath this were the words "Our Saviour." Suspended from the arch a dove of spotless white swayed in tbe breeze and at times pn sented a lifelike appearance. The program consisted of responsive readings and singing. In the evening the quarterly review took place, the pastor, Rev. Day, illustrating the various subjects in one of his interesting blackboard sermons.

The services were thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end and reflected a gieat deal of credit upon the school and its oftlctrs. NOTES ABODT TOWN.

Storrs preached on the subject "Each one has a divine mission in life," taking his text from II Timothy, iv, 7. He pictured the life of St Paul as the most impressive in biblical lore, excepting only that of Christ. In his peroration he paid a beautiful tribute to Germany's dead emperor.

Representatives of the colored race indulged in a fierce Sunday light in the hallway of Mische's raloon, formerly Peter Stump's place, on South street, last evening. Among tho combatants were Ike Sweeney and William Thompson, seconded by William Sweeney and Joseph Parker.

Ike and Thompson quarreled about money matters and agreed to go out tbe woods aud pitch a ring wherein they could determine which was the better man. They had scarcely reached the hall when they came to blows and a fierce struggle ensued, which brought to the scene all the members of the household, male and female, the crowd becoming so great hostilities bad to ceasn. Sweeney then went out into the street and meeting a white woman named Mary Early told ber tbnt he was going to kill Thompson and skip to New York on the midnight train.

Cabinet ass Other Netahlee Attend. VFAsmifUTo.v, June 18. The President and members of his Cabinet excepting Sec retary Whitney, who is out of the city, and Attorney General Garland, who is sick, attended the ser vises at the German Lutheran church in this city in memory of Emperor Frederick III. Many other distinguished people were in attendance, including nearly all the members of the Diplomatic eorjM. all epeaK in the highest terms of praise of the generous treatment received at the William May Question His Late Father' Right to the Throne A Gloomy Day for the Funeral A Chsracterlstle Anecdote of tbe New Ruler.

Berlin, June 18. The result of tha post mortem examination of the Emperor Frederick has been accepted by the German press as a triumphant vindication of the position taken by the German doctors. Professor Virchow's dissection showed the complete destruction of the larynx by cancer. The Emperor William has ordered Dr. Mackenzie to write a complete history of the late monarch's illness.

Dr. Mackenzie said that he admits that tbe disease was cancer, but asserts that it was very difficult to make a diagnosis on account of abnormal conditions in the throat. There is a German law providing that a one afflicted with an incurable disease: shall be eligible to the German throne. It Is said that the existence of this law led King William to order the autopsy on his father's remains, and that as his disease proves to have been cancer he will hold that Frederick! hold on the throne was illegal, and follow by declaring his official acts to be nullified. It is even said that his well known dislike oi his mother may lead to his questioning her title of dowager empress.

The Dowager Empress Augusta, widow of late Emperor William, wept out to Potsdam t6 view her son's body yesterday It lay in Stats in a large oak sarcophagus, dressed in a general's uniform, with the most highly prized detritions on his breast The coffin stood on a pedestal draped in black in what is known as the Jasper hall. A black canopy hung aboTe it, and the crown, sceptre and other insignia of royalty lay on a sette at the head of the dead. Cypress and laurel were tattered about, and relieved in a measure the general gloom of the apartment Eminent soldiars and citizens thronged ths room. At 5 o'clock Emperor William II looked upon the face of his dead father, and then the lid of the coffin was screwed on, and the room closed to all but the guards A bird's aye glance at Potsdam would impress the average observer with the idea that the peoplo had, suddenly lost their senses The solemn and placid little village is in a ferment of excitement. The short notice given of the monarch's funeral has turned things topsy turvy.

People expected that the dead emperor would lie in state for at least a week in Berlin, instead of which the time has been reduced to one day, and the crush is enormous The effort to bring the mourning decorations up to the standard set in the funeral ol the Emperor William has resulted in mors confusion. Thousands and thousands o( workmen are rushing about in the streets of Potsdam nailing; crape upon every projecting surface that would admit of decoration. Officers were shouting their orders, carpenters building grand stands, citizens turning out the frames of windows to admit more sightseers, and agents rushing about hunting apartments. Indeed, the same feverish activity is prevalent everywhere, for the funeral occurs to-day, and this is the only opportunity for reaping a golden harvest. Not until early this morning was the route of the funeral decisively known, but as soon as it was decided upon the people along the route of the procession put up placards in their windows and doorways for customers There were no end of applications for the privilege of viewing the procession, and four chairs in on? window were sold fpr 100 marks each.

The weight of the royal coffin was very great. It required the strenuous efforts of eleven men to lift it from the car. It was taken to the palace in a covered wagon, and carried to the room where the imperial remains lay, Berlin itself is well draped in mourning, and it is probable that Potsdam will present decently lugubrious appearance after the excitement. Everybody worked by torchlight there last night. As Emperor William passed through a courtyard yesterday one of the officers of the party, a man of very high rank In the German army, stood looking after the new ruler respectful for a moment and then said: 'If his majesty displays the characteristics as a monarch that he did as a boy, the coming years will be fraught with extraordinary interest for the German empire.

To my mind the most remarkable characteristic of our new emperor is his steadfastness. Less than four years ago I was one of a party of thirty men, of which hi6 majesty was the chief, hunting in tho woods at Potsdam, where he started a deer. "Four of us were well in front and close at the heels of the fugitive. The prince always had a daredevil spirit One of his feats was to ride upright at a dead gallop through the woods, whetea every other rider leaned forward end hugged the neck of his horse so as to avoid, being hit ia the face by the branches as he galloped along. I was riding immediately ahead of him with my head down.

Of course, I looked back several times, and warned Prince William to lean forward, but he only smiled, and took the switching of the branches as he passed along. "Presently a large limb which stretched from an oak tree hove in sight and, with a final warning to the prince, I dodged under it just as we" came to a bit of water where the dogs had got the stag at bay. The huntsman jumped forward to cut the antlers, but he was thrown into the water by a twist of the stag's horns, and this excitement drove the memory of the prince out of my mind, and when I recovered my senses I looked back for the prince, and saw nothing hut his riderless horse standing near the dogs "We hurried book and picked the prince up senseless, with a gash across his forehead from which the blood flowed copiously. It had come from the big oak limb. We managed it as well as we could, and he soon came to his senses.

At this moment the deer started away again, and the prince, with a laugh at our entreaties, bounded on his horse and led the chase with the blood streaming over his face. "It was a long and hard ride, and we feared the worst, but the indomitable perseverance of the heir to the throne carried him through, and he succeeded in killing the stag within the half hour. "This simple incident indicates what every man knows who is acquainted with his majesty that is, that no power on earth can stop him when his mind is firmly fixed." the interior of tbe state. The status of th southern vote is somewhat perplexing th Ohio people, but they say that' by to-nighl they will have corral ed tbe bulk of tbe voting strength from that section. The New Yorkers are as undecided as ever.

Pretty well all the day they kept themselvei away from their spacious headquarters and locked themselves in in a remote part, with broad shouldered sentinel on the outside oi the door. Says one of their number: "Mr. Depew has so far failed to make uf his mind as to whether he will allow his nam to go before the convention for a complimentary vote, whether he will go into a fight as a bona fide candidate or whether he will have his name kept out of the convention altogether. If he decides upon the latter the New York vote will be all split up at th start. As to which of the candidates wiD gain thereby it is impossible to speak deft lately.1 New Jersey and Connecticut are much ir the same position.

Both have a candidate for the vico presidency, Hawley and Phelps while neither can make up their minds as how they should go on the head of the ticket Talks with tho delegates indicate strong preferences for Harrison and Allison, whil Alger has a small modicum of support. The latter's friends are doing some tall hustling and, like the supporters of all the other candi dates, claim that considerable headway hat been made. Whether tho CaUfornians will persist in nominating and supporting Blaine is still th question of the hour. They say that they Mill, and have brought into existence a Nurthwestern Blaine association, for the pur pose of giving the boom he advantage ol organization. The managers of the othei boom are hoping that the California poopl will listen to wiser counsel before next Wednesday, and make up their minds to let the Maine man alone.

That they will do this, however, is extremely doubtful. A dispatch was received at the Leland saying that Blaine shouters from various points in Kansas and Missouri had left Kansas City on special trains, and that every man brings with him a flag with the inscription "Blaine by ao clamatian." Blaine contingents are also ex pectedi from other points, and altogethei thorn will be plenty of outward demonstra tion to encourage the CaUfornians to persevere with their plans. In the eveut of a third communication being received from Mr. Blaine, or any other circumstance compelling a change of base, their support will go to Depew, if he is really In the race. If he is out of it, Alger can depend upon three-fifths of the delegation, while Gresham will get the balance.

Mr. Depew announced last evening that he was a candidate. His friends state that he will probably have something further to say to-day. Upon Mr. Depew's final decision mnch importance is based.

Certain negotiations between the Depew followers and the northwestern people are in progress, the result of which will doubtless determine his course. It is understood that he has expressed himself as being very confident of his ability to carry New York, and that he will stand as a caudidate if the west wdl pledge him sufficient support. A gentleman who is very close to Mr. Depew informed a representative of the United Press that in the event of his (Depew's) withdrawal from the race he would likely place Mr. Sherman in nomination.

Should matters take this turn Mr. Sherman's already strong lead would be very materially increased. While it is not thought possible tc throw the Piatt faction of the New York delegation for Sherman, it is believed thai the greater port of the remainder of the dele gation would follow Mr. Depew. Late estimates give Sherman 350 votes.

ObaUi of Hod. Url Gilbert. Saratoga, June 18. The Hon. Uri Gilbert, ex-mayor of Troy and the head of the noted Gilbert Car works of Troy, died here yesterday of heart failure, aged 79 years Mr.

Gilbert and family oame here about three weeks ago to spend the summer, having hired the residence of J. W. A. Cluett, of Troy, who is in Europe.

The situation is one in which btg politics count, and as tersely expressed by an old timer: "A conundrum which wdl be solved by dozen men, or an accident or two." New York certainly holds the reins, but everybody acts as if afraid to make a movt or show a hand. To-dy will doubtless shott some developments of real importance.

CoL Honk of Vermont, a member of th hatienal committee, says that the decision oi the committee allowing both the Mnuone and anti-Mahono delegates to sit in the convention, depriving the Manone men of votes, is a resslt of a combination of the friends of other candidates against the Sherman men. There is a possibility that the Mahono fight will be carried into the convention. Ron. William Walter Phelps now.

'There Is no said Mr. Logan, 'that Mr. Blaine is sincere in what he bos previously said that he was not a candidate, and I do not believe that he would accept a nomination, even if it was tendered him.

One bond after another wac pressed into service, until for hours there was no intermission in the music, and soon after breakfast until way after supper one continuous stream of people passed through the apartments, stopping long euough at the improvised counter to quaff a gloss of California champagne. The hospitality was not confined to the delegate fraternity. Everybody was welcome. The maimed, the halt, the blind who, from all outward appearance, had no more influence or interest in the coming convention than the man in the moon, were greeted as heartily as the congressman or senator. Pretty nearly a carload of wine bad disappeared before a halt was called and the doors closed, and the jolly CaUfornians vowed that it had been a dsv after their own hearts.

Last night the Rusk caiupajguwas formally Ixaugurated by the opening of head- Suarters in the Grand Pacific.

It is said the Lehigh Wilkes Company is negotiating with Mr. and Mis Carey for the purchase of their thirty-acre farm, and if satisfactory terms can be agreed upon the company will erect a breaker ttereon. The majority of Ashley people would prefer seeing the splendid farm laid out iu building lots and naming the little village that would soon make its appearance after the old people, than having so beautiful a piece of ground spoiled by a grimy breaker. "Careytowu" wouldn't sound bad, and a pretty village is about as substantial a monument as a man or woman could leave after they are gone.

A Generoaa asd Qwlch Response ta a quest far Honey. From the Sunday Horning Leader.

The following gentlemen have subscribed for a fund to purchase new suits for the base ball club which they will don on the Fourth of July. The solicitors were Pres-sident George R. Wright and Director F. Bogert and the money was raised in four hours. Only two or three who were applied to refused.

The citizens, in the prompt response they made, exhibited the interest they take in tbe club, and are to be congratulated, and there is no doubt that in case the treasury ever becomes low, they will be as prompt to supply the deficiency: CITIZENS. Robbed While Iu Hwlaimla. juate yesterday afternoon, John Wad law, a young man residing on Rolling Mill Hill, with a number of companions, went in swimming in the river just below the D. 11. bridge at South Wilkes-Barre.

They left their clothing far up on the bank. When they emerged from the water Wadlaw was surprised to find that he bad been robbed. A watch, a revolver and :15 in money, which were ia bis pantaloons pockets, had been taken. The theft was reported to the police, but though a certain party is suspected no arrests have been made as yet. l.CKgSAl, SHERIDAN.

Still (a ffLeeert Srsseteasa hauae first ball Burkett pitched and the umpire called one strike. On the second ball pitched, Meister having a good lead started for second and was so near the base that be had it stolen, because Murphy could not have gotten the ball down there in time even bad Mo Kee missed it and it had gone into the catcher's hands. However, McRee hit the ball and it went flying on a line over the short stop's head into left field, where it was picked up by Galligan. Meister ran on to third base and Galligan. in order, it is presumed, to cut off tbe runner toward home, fielded the ball toward third.

It was caught by Shortstop Carey, wbo had run up near third base. Carey, seeing McKee going for second base, threw the ball to Crane, and Meister, seeing it going there, started for home and scored. Tbe ball was throws low; it passed Crane and struck McKee inthe chest as be was sliding in to the base and rolled to one side. A gentleman not areident of Wilkes-Bane and entirely dis interested who witnessed the play, states emphatically that McKee had the base safe even though Crane bad held the ball. McKee lay upon the base and Crane, under tbe misapprehension, the gentleman thinks, that the ball was under McKee, endeavored to turn him over in order to get it.

McKee also evidently under misapprehension thought that Crane was trying to get him off the base in order to put him out and he resisted, but thought nothing of the whacks Crane was giving him until he had gotten on top of Crane and was raising up. Crane then struck him upon the nose, which aggravated him and in return be kicked Crane, and stepped to one side. At this Carey, the bruiser, who as right fielder, Kelley, of the told him right there and then) thought more of fighting than of playing ball, ran for McKee and motioned for the crowd bock of third base to follow, at the same time shouting to ihem: "Caom on, byes." Carey struck McKee in the right jaw, but centre fielder Cain then rushed up and prevented Carey from further continuing the attack. Right fielder Kelley also came up and pleaded with the mob not to assault McKee and this prevented what threatened to be a bloody piece of worK. McKee, however, went back on to second base and stood there, like the cock of the walk that he was, until the game was given to Scranton 9 to O.

Umpire Brady, having been frightened out of hi? wits by the threats of the Scranton players here on Friday as to what tbe roughs would do with him up there on Saturday, and by Manager Crane in the earlier port of the game then in progress, started down toward second. He was at once surrounded by the mob, who demanded that Meister be sent back to third and McKee declared out. The crowd partially withdrew, however, and without rendering a decision on either of these points, Umpire Brady again took bis position behind the plate. Crane then approached him and demanded that Meister be sent bock to third and McKee declared out. At this Manager Donnelly and Captain Meister refused to play, and when he gave Scranton the game by 9 to 0, the diamond and out fields were thronged with people scattered ail about, nor had the grounds Veen cleared, so that the game could be continued, from the time the trouble began up to that moment.

After the game bad been given to Scranton by nine to nothing, Manager Donnelly approached President Ay lee-worth and promptly demanded the guarantee, which Mr. Aylesworth as promptly refused, declaring that he would not pay it. Afterwards Manager Crane came to Manager Donnelly and stated that they would pay the guarantee if he (Donnelly) would allow the game to stand in favor of Scranton, which of course Manager Donnelly refused to do, as every other manager or right minded individual would have done. This is the whole story, though it may be added that Manager Crane yesterday exonerated McKee from all blame in the matter and than the writers on the Scranton papers are entirely wrong when they put McKee down as a ruffian. On the contrary, he is one of the most gentlemanly and level headed men in'the profession.

Umpire Bradey stated this morning that Crane was drunk, and that probably accounts for all the trouble. Tbe account of the game as it appeared in the Sunday Leader yesterday is printed on the third page of this issue of the Evening Leader. THE COURTS. A tSrand Nurpriae. 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 araele.
