Has It Come To This?

Last evening about half past nine o'clock, about thirty members of company A marched up to the house of George J. Stol), one of their comrades who had just been married. When they reached the house, they fired off a sainte of blank cartridges, which was heard all over the city. Students and citizens, by hundreds, flocked to the place to see what was the matten The college boys had not yet recovered from the excitement of the previous evening and were quite ready for a lark. Consequently they joined in the serenade, which they speedily turned into a genuine charivari, hooting and jeering for all they were worth. Company A was invited into the house, where they remained for some time. When they came out, they were eubjected to insulting jeers and cat-calls. They then marched down Division-st and were followed by a howling mob of students. When they reached the corner of erty and División, they lost their patience, halted, drew np in a horizontal line and at the command of the leader, Sheldon F. Granger, made a charge upon the students with the butts of their guns. A general melee resulted in which several studente were hurt. I. J. Denison, a freehman lit frotn Toledo, was struck overthe right eye and quickiy taken to the hospital, where he died at flve o'clock this morning. His skull was cracked the whole length of the foreheadTwo other students, G. L. Nye, a senior law from De Witt, Ia., and E. D. Wïckes a sophomore from Helena, Mont., were also hurt, but not dangerously. After the first onset, it seems, certain partiea tried to quiet the disturbance, and the boys on both sides began to disperse, when Sheldon Granger was struck in the forehead by a rock. The fight began again, many students securing fence pickets, when the pólice forcé arrived on the ground. All dispersed then, the students going to the campus and the nnlitia to the arinory, and the troubl ended. Great excitement prevailed on the streets this morning. Mayor Manly seemed very much concerned about the matter. Members of Company A claim that the mayor gave them permission to use tlieir guns for serenading purposes, but Mr. Manly emphatically deuies thia. ShelJon Granger.upon being interviewed, affirmed that the mayor said he could not give his permission, but if the boyswanted to fire blank cartridges he wouldseethem through. Heclaimed that no student was hurt until he himself had been struck with a rock, but the greater part of the testimony is against this assumpticn. The father and mother of the murdered student, Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Denison, arrlved in this city last evenirg. They will return with the remains to Toledo to-night. Ta e roommate of young Denison says that the lalter was doing nothing when I he was struck. He was a quiet, inoffen8ve lad, who like many othere, simply carne out to see what was going on_ Another student asserts that he knows the man who struek theblow. President Angelí spoke in chapel this morning and seemed overeóme with feeling. He said the University authorities could do nothing in the matter, as it was a question simply for the pólice. A coroner's jury, consisting of Amos Corey, M. H. Goodrich, Alvin Wilsey, Geo. Moore, A. E. Jennings and Job Marshal, was empaneled this morning, They viewed the remains and adjourned till 2 o'clock this afteraoon, when the formal inquest will be held. Witnesses are plentiful, and the matter will be probed to the bottom. Until then nothng very authentic can be said. TUSSDAY NIGHT'S TROL'BI.E. An officious policeman arrested a student said to be rushing and hustled him off to jail. Whereupon, the students turned out en masse and made t very disagreeable for the officere. Tlieir dignity being thus offended, they thought it necessary to arrest two more student. Tlien the Mayor, in all the august majesty of a military education, appeared uponthe scène and withroyal severity ordered the streets cleared within five minutes. This was done, but not before two more students and a town boy had been jailed. Thesix boys spent the night in jail, and although a ■ justice was on hand and bail to a large amount was offered, our consequential mayor insisted that the six desperadoes should remain in limbo all night. They were released on bail the next morning and ordered to appear before Justice Pond next week. The students are aroused and threaten to invoke the aw.
