A blanket was snatched off the bed, and a doaen sophomores surrounded it A number of freshmen were present, some from ignorance, others from curiosity, and others as prisoners of war. One was hustled into the blanket. "Pot your hands up." He complied, hardly knowing why. "One, two, three." The unhappy lad shot into the air and struck the ceiling. His hands and feet saved him from serious injury, but a shower of lime oame down, blinding and choking him, besides spoiling his clothes. Again and again he went up, while the crowd shouted. Then he was mounted on a coal box and invited to make a speech, sing a comic song, and conjugate a Greek verb. quay arrived home Uonday night In aiD interview with a correspondent yesterday he taid: "Yon all know by this time that I did not succeed in raisoney for ;he Red «dley railixhaustedDrt aud stone un"iiiwj and bonds. 4 to three failed.

The first of these, that of Buchanan, the Chicago Labor editor who seeks to represent a Colorado constituency, was at once taken up. Protests against his eleglbility had been filed by nearly every local assembly In the state, and the report of the oommittee was adverse to his claims. For nearly four hours the men who had gathered from California to Maine, and Canada to Florida, frittered away their time in a debate as to whether Bnchanan should be admitted or excluded. St. Louis, Oct 5.—Another day of "Cleveland weather" marked the last day of the president's visit to this city, and tho party was kept very busy in filling the various engagements mapped out for it Before 9 o'clock yesterday Mr. Cleveland was escorted to the court house, where he received as many of the citizens as could crowd through in an hour and a half.

EVERY ONE IS BECOMING At 8:80 tho president and Mrs. Cleveland and their traveling companions, attended by a reception committee of veiled prophets and their ladies, took seats on the Washington avenue baloony of the Liudell for the purpose of viewing perhaps the most magnificent of all the grand spectacles with which this city has honored them. It was 9:30 o'clock when the last gorgeous pageant had gone by. It was a beautiful sight, the floats typifying notable events of the world's history as recorded in the Old Testament, from the creation down to the advent of Christ The following were the subjeots represented; First came the Veiled Prophet with his attendaat high priests, followed by floats representing "Michael and Lucifer," "The Expulsion from Paradise," "Cain and Abel," "Abraham and Isaac," "Josoph Sold Into Egypt," "Joseph Distributing Corn to His Brethren," "Moses in the Bulrushes," "Moses on Mount Sinai," "The Golden Calf," "The Betrayal of Sampson," "David and Goliah," "Prosperity of the Godly," "The Queen of Sheba and King Solomon," "Elijah's Translation into Heaven," "Jonah and the Whale," Vonah Calling Nineveh to Bepeatanoa," "Death of Josiah," "Capture of Ty»V "Judith and Holofernes," "Belshazsar's Feast," and "Daniel in the Lions' Dsn." * The captain ordered the boats lowered, but she was so badly listed that it was impossible to lower but one. The captain went into the cabin to get the passengers out, but when he returned found that the first mate and several men had left with the boat The steamer now began rapidly breaking up, and soon all hands were struggling in the water. The captain and engineer sucoeeded in getting a boat loose from the wreck and picked up the second engineer, oook and one lady passenger. Their boat drifted down alongside the propeller A. Foisom, which was anchored under St Helena, and was picked up and brought here. Others followed, boys and whiskered men, teachers and 'preachers, with sweethearts and pastorates at home, all want op in the blanket and danced a breakdown on a coal box, to the patting of a score of hands. Some, when they went up, were soused with water; others bad their bare feet blackened. The plastering began to oome down. When the hole grew too big they adjourned to another room. Ken were pulled out of bed mid trotted across the bare halls, and in through the crowd in their night shirts. Room after room was visited. When the occupants failed to respond ths door was kicked in, and he only fared the worse. Sometimes the assault was resisted. In one room a junior met them with a club, but it availed him little. The young fellow pleaded heart disease, and they let him off with a song.  ALIVE It was in the hottest part of the debate that a auspicious noise behind the stage curtain attracted the attention of a delegate. He proceeded to investigate, and a foment later emerged with the oollar of a dimish looking young fellow in his tight grasp. Pale and trembling the intruder, in response to a question, gave his name as Crackenwiser, the representative of a Milwaukee daily, and he was instantly reoognlsed as the ex-editor of a labor sheet in that city, which had systematically villifled the order In general and the grand master workman in particular. He was expelled from the building without further delay, and the debate was resumed. It might have lasted till midnight had not the delegates remembered that the dining rooms In the hotels closed at 8, and shortly before that hour an adjournment was taken, with the understanding that a vote should be reached Immediately upon the reassembling of the convention. The most serious turn of affairs that has yet developed in connection with the general assembly came to light last night It is learned—and the information has been verified by the admissions of a dozen leading Knights that the opponents of the administration will make an effort in the convention to overthrow the' action ot last ysar's assembly extending the terms of office of the general officers to October, 1888. That action, it is olataned, was clearly unconstitutional, and it is also alleged that the action was taken after nearly all the delegates had left for home and the convention had been reduced to a mere rump.
