* ». WHAT THE LADIES WORE. ll&rvellouB Toilets Displayed a* the Queen's Gardfin Party. A Ixiitdon (;»ble({rftm Baya ; The Koyal garden party at Buc^kin^^ham I'alacti tins week, beuit; favored by tine weather, waH the most lirilliant event of the Buason. There wai a, greater diuplay of o<ld and pic- turu«i{ue toiletH than at any aoi ial event in Ijondon this year. lilack and white com- binatinna were very popular. The DucheBS of Roxburgh wore black and wlutc. Her dreaa wa« of white moiru covered lightly with black laoe spriiied ribbon-wibe, while lines of blai-k Bilk moire gleamed through the metibeH of the lace with itB own |>e<;u- li«r effect of eniuU rivulets of running water. The bo<)ic« and drapery tt the back were compu«»e<i entirely of »tri|)t>d lace. The •mall bonnet was white, veiled with tine black laoe and Irininunl with white plunif 8. The Bunshado matched the bonnet. The Countetut llrownlow's dress consisted of exquisitely tinted shot satin, named after Kir I'et^r Lely. The satin waa enriched by the shining through of deep yellow Bilken threads at the back. These gave depth to the surface Kray, which in turn was counteracted by the pale tones of the greenish blue with which the gray waa shot. According as the folds caught the light one tint of the other pro<loniinated with the ever-changing effect of hues seen on a dove's neck. The front of the dresa was in ivory silk, covered with Turkish embroidery of somewhat â- imilar St) le to that worn by the Crown Princess in the Jubilee procession. This, however, was worked on silk muslin of very â- oft texture, in gold, silver and white silk, and instead of being laid tlat on the silk it was carried up to the neck and arranged in moat graceful of folds down the whole length of the skirt, the t'liniiner of the gold and Bilver harinoni/.iiig most aiiinirubiy with the pale gray and deep yellow in tho brocade. '1 he bonnet was suisll in siw, and consiste<l of a Hkilfully arranged mix- ture of white lace, pink rosebuds and white tulle. The ('ountfBS of Hopctoun's dress was composed of whiic lacv, embroidered in •ilk anil tine wool and draped over with pink Kengaline. The bonnet was of pink tulle, rising in tier U|>on tier of minia- ture puflings, and trimmed with roses in •hades of cream (X>lor and pink. The new style of dress called tho " Mar ^erite " was worn by the ConntesB of jLovelace. It was of blue and yellow fou- lard, the folda being drawn at the right •ide through the bauds of a |Kx:ket in dark velvet. A riih trimming ran round the •kirtand trimmed the iKxIice. Lady Dorchester's dress was of foulard mauve worn over a front richly ornamented in straw. Thub<xii(X)waBin full folds caught across diagonally at the waist with bands of straw embroidery. The collar and cuffs were also embroidery. In the dress which was worn by the Hun. Mrs. Kgertoii the whole of the front was in â- tripes of alternate cream colored iai^ and gold embroidery, through both of which a lining of pink satin shone, contrasting harmoniously with the gold, as pink only can. The back was of watercress grecui moire, as well as thi' bodice, which was made with a vest of gold embroiihry and lace Btri|M'S. The collar was a strip of gold Hnished with a high and picturesiiue (nil of aoft pink lisse. The vest, which was oaugbt at the waist with thriwgold buckles, which hehl 111 its fulness, was of moss grwn IuIIr, covered with gold tinsel and edged with sparkling galloons in gold ami green, the latter being Hlmde<l like a iH'acick's neck fuatliurs and geiiiiiied here aii<l there with largo xjuare stones in inutatioii of emeralds, and cut with a skill that has brought a fortune to the inventor. A orescent similar in character to the gall(K>iiH â- tcHxl upright above the brow among cloudy folds of green tiillu. A lovely driiss slightly akin to the above was in broii/.« inoire, the whole of the (runt being draisxl with tan coloie<l crejMt de Chine. The fastenings were large metal buttons of a rococo design. The bonnet was made of twigs and trimmod with pink rOB4!S. I.ady Oudloy was dresseil in blai k silk, â- Iriped with lace, ando|>eiiing in front over long soft folds of white silk muslin, tlie •ilk being so arranged aa to fall over the muiliii, floating away from it with every motion of tho wearer. The bonnet was also black, rulieved with white. The Mari'hioness of Downshire was also in black and white, the dress being of satin and strip<.<l riblionwise with silk. The front was of white silk, (»v«red with lace. The Oinntess of Onslow was in u dress of soft and rich pink silk, covere<; with Valenciennes lace. The effect of the very becoming bonnet of pink ore|i« and tulle, trimmed with rosebuds, was still further enhanced by a Hunsliaile of pink cre(H), with dra|iery of white silk muslin. Lady nailery's toilet preHenttxl an ex quisite contrast of color. The dress itself was of ric;h brown silk, turned up with satin o( a golileii fawn tone. The bonnet niatchu<l the dress. Another excellent contrast of color was seen in Hon. Mrs. Hugh lOliiot's mig nonette colorinl silk dress, worn over a front all softly (IrttpiHl with pink crepe de Ohine. Laoe in light denign and of a oream-iiolored tone was introduced wher- ever the pink met the mignonette color, so as to soften tho effect of the junction. The bonnet was of inigiunietle color anil of pink roses. Koniiets and liats, especially the latter, were a study, for wliii.h the relireinenl of tho sun and the closing of siinshadi h offered spe< iai (acihlies. One hat of a quaint and njiliwcriliable shape was thatched with twigs. A large loi)|ii)( goM gau/.e was plarwl ni front, and In this some birds, presiimahly swallows, were disport ing themselves. A very tall, liiimd brimiiKxl, brown straw hat Imil clusters of unri|>e currsiits falling down. The brim was caught up at one side with (Ihar treuse green ami liniwn ribbons. Heveral hats were iiiaile of a perfiuitly trsnspHrent substnnite like lllire, vvliich waHeiiihiiiidired with straw in sniiie fanciful design. These were of various xlmpes, but as they showed the hair and shape of head, they Aiirem no oase unlioconiing. The prulliest was black, with einbrnidery of straw color and a brani h of roscH lain across the lop, in which thiirns were ilisplayiid. A iliri'rtiiirf. straw hoiiiit^t was lined wilh moss green velvet, with no ti'iuiinini>s on the outside â- ave • few dozen of cherries. Bmall boii. nets, made up of satin, studclod and jettoii net to nuktob the brown in color, were mnch worn. These had borders of gradu- ated balls made of tiny setjuins, and spangles matching the net of which they were made. They were worked in golil, silver, blue, hcliotroiw, fawn and grey, according to the prevailing color of the gown. With few exceptions very high crowned hats were not worn. AT SKA IN A BALI-OON. Perilous Adventure of an Aeronaut and His VrteuilK. A Portland (Me.) despatch says : Mr. C. H. Orimley will not forget his aeronautic excursion of yesterday if he lives to be as old as Methuselah. He took to his bed after the active philanthropists on board the yacht Mermaid picked him up, with a companion, out of tho wind-stirred waters of Casco Bay. Tho comment he made to his preservers was : "Thank the Lord, I can live a while long! rl " The balloon Columbus started from Lincoln Park in the presence of an im- mense crowd at .I o'clock yesterday after- noon. Tho v.'ind was strong, and there was some delay in getting the inllated bag of oiled and varnished cotton away from ti-rru liriiui. Finally Mr. Orimley soared on high, and the gaping s ectators stretched their necks gazing as the air ship sailed away acroas Casco Hay. When the balloon attained a considerable altitude an adverse current turned the course from the land toward the sea. The aironaut took in the peril of his situation at a glance. The air current might carry the balloon far out over the heaving ocean, and night was approaching. The valve cord was pulled and the outtlowing gas soon caused a descent to be made. Off Clapboard Island more gas was let out and the rocky surface was approached near enough to permit a line to be cast to a party of picnickers. After much difficulty the shore end of the rope was fastened around a large bowlder. The fettered balloon waited about in tho fresh brwze, and before the luronaut and his companion could disembark a sharp puff caused the rope to part. Away went balloon, car and adventurers up in the air again. A current diverted the course and down plungeil the balloon into the Boa. Then commenced a dash through blue water of a unique kind. Tho partially collapsed gas bag went ahead, dragging the car and the luckless passen- gers along and keeping them thoroughly drenched. Perhaps the trip might have been pro- longed untiU the coast of Kurope was at- tained, but just as the aironaut began to think his lime waa approaching the yacht .Mermaid was discerned heading for the novel racer. Coming up into the wind just in front a line was cast from on board and was secured t« the car, and the frisky Columbus Ixicame a captive balloon. Mr. (irimley maintained his presence of mind throughout the adventure. nKSTROTING A BAHVH HIBTIIMAKK The .liHlur C'nlln It " ('•ilil<-iii|>l "f Court" aull I'lliilitheH ttie l'iil|irltM.

A Bessemer (Mich.) despatch says: The regular passenger train to Milwaukee was crowded with |N!ople Monday night, and the conductor found it necessary to stop the train in order to collect the fares. While the train was at a standstill a wild engine and caboose ran into tho rear slee|wr, setting flro to it and throwing several coaches from the track. The wildest excitement prevailed. There was a general rush of iiasseiigers for tho doors, but they wore all foun<l to be locked, and it was necessary to (oriie them oi>eii before any - Isiily could escaiMs. There were nearly .HUU |H'oplu on board, including a large number of women. A number of the latter fainted during tho ox<:itenient. Home of the passengers and trainmen succee<led in ex tingiiishing the lire in the sle<qHir. Heveral passengers and trainmen were hurl by the collision. Their names are: (). Wild, o( Kagle Uiver, passenger; Dan Tangway, of Wansau, passenger; (I.

A London correspondent cables : London has a William Henry 8mith who concerns himself with newspapers, who conducts a great press agency, who is practically the publisher of the London Tiinei, and who can make or mar any new gazette or book. He also concerns himself with the Privy Council, the Secretaryship of War, the leadership of the House of Commons and with Strand politics. Yesterday his daugh- ter was married. The lirst scene occurred in the Padding- ton Itailway Station, London, where the guests assembled to take a train to his country seat, at Henley-ontheThames. On the platform were his Cabinet brethren, headed by Lord and Lady Salisbury, accom- panied by a big deputation of London swells. Tho second scene showed the wedding guojls at tho ancient, ivy embowered church. In scene third the bride, bearing tho prosaic name Emily Ann Smith, was met at the altar by Walter Acland, captain >n that navy which Gilbert and Sullivan satirized ill " Pinafore." When Smith p<r< (who, it will be remembered, was the origi- nal of Sir Joseph Porter when he was Secretary of the Admiralty under Lord BuacouBtield) gave his child away to Capt. Acland a war secretary's daughter wedded to a prospective naval hero â€" she partially and traditionally hid her lovely, beaming face under the meshes of a rich lace veil, and wore an ivory satin dress, its train fragrant with freshly gathered buds. At her throat waa a necklace of diamond mar- guerites, the gift of her father. ItUIUKSM.tlUS >N1> Tlir.lK MIESHKH. Two of ber sisters, two nieces and two cousinsâ€" one of whom had the poetic name of Gwendoline â€" formed her bridesmaids, daintily gowned in white nainsook, lace trimmed and emphasized with blue and white ribbons and tiny bows. Also muslin and lace hats to match with the dresses. They carrie<l naiad baskets tilled with alternating water lilies and forget-menots. The bridegroom wore his gorgeous uni- form, which was well set off by the pic- turesijue ooetume of the Turkish Ambas- sador. In a chanoel pew near the latter a group of vicars and deans gave a Church blessing. Scene fourth was the dejeutur in a large marquee on the elegant grounds of the Smith estate, called Greenland-beside-the Thames. Here the bride's health was pro- jHMied by tho bridegroom's father, a K. C. B. and an honorary physician to the Prince of Wales, with no end of medical alphabets to his knightly name of Sir Henry Went- worth Acland. THK WKDUINO I'HKSKNTS in the house were arranged as if they were a museum collection of rich gems, bric-a- brae, rare porcelains and antiquities in silver. A i>air of gold bangles, edged with dia- mond spra\s, were the gift o( Premier Salisbury. Silver salt cellars enough (or a great dinner l>arty wore (rom Chancellor of the Kxithequcr Soechen. All the presents were admired and were also especially watchtni by a cyniial looking detective (roin Hbot- land Yard.

MoOLYNN'H CAHK. He Will Take the Hull or KxcommunU-a- tloii bjr the llorUN. A New York despatch says : An even- ing pa|M<r to day says : Dr. McGlynn's case has taken a now turn. Krom announcements and from hiinwif It ap|>ears that the doctor is quietly awaiting the publication of the bulla u( excommunication, and that when they are published he will not pass out of the Church, as haslMien generally expected, but will make a light against tho eccles- iastical legality of the excommunication and will demand an ecclesiastical trial. Dr. McOlynn claims that according to tho decrees o( tho Baltimore Plenary Council two years ago he cannot be sus|Hiniled, much less excommunicated, without Uiing trUMl by a council of the clergy. In this claim he is aupported not only by his followers, but, he claims, by many eminent divines. Kev. Dr. McGlynn returned to the city (rom the west this evening. Ho would neither aftirm or deny that he had received his notice of excommunication. He said his case was like that o( the Irish prisoner who was told to plead and replied : " How i^an I tell whether I am guiltv or innoc«nt until I have heard the evidence." The doctor said he might have something to say later, but just now intended to take a sort of vacation, siteaking oiilv on Sundays. A Man With a Marble Leg. A Mount Btorling, Ky., despatch says : Mr. Howard Williamson, a well known farmer of this county, is just now an object of much attention and the subject of no little sympathy. Home six months ago Mr. Williamson noticed that the lleshy part of his left leg seemed harder than that of his right. Since that time this harilness has grown more and more percei)til>le, and though the patient has had the attention of excellent nieilical skill the limb has incresHeil in hardness until it rusemhies a piticii of sculptured marble. Mr. William- sun sulfers no pain, but as his hip is stone from the hip down he llnds U>comotion dilliculf, tho more so on account of tho toes of the left foot, which are so spread a|>art that hois in constant dread of break- ing thuni off. THE FOLICE AND COURTESANS. How the Arrest of the Cass Girl Shook Salisbury's Governuielit â€" Home Secre- tary Matthews in aTightBox, A last (Friday) night's London cable says: The Lord Chancellor baa commenced an inquiry into the oouduot of Magistrate Newton in the matter of the arrest of Miss Cass. The Cass case is resultin , in public agi- tation against the bullyin,' and blackmail- ing of courtesans by the police. The fall Mall iiazetu leads the movement by reviv- ing old stories of the infamy of the police towards outcast women. The agitation has reached Parliament. Mr. Pickeragill has given notice of a motion that it is necessary that an inquiry be made into the administration of the London police, and in the House of Lords Lord Mi Itown will question the right of the police to arbitrarily arrest courtesans. A defeat of the Government on a side issue like the Cass incident involves nothing more serious than discredit and some ridicule. Mr. W. H. Smith's refusal of an inquiry into Miss Cass' arrest was one of those blun.lers which no good leader o( the House would have made. The (eel - ing that the police and the Police Magis- trate had made a mistake was general. Mr. Newton haa long been known as an arbitrary and domineering judge. He accepted the testimony of a single police- man against a girl apparently innocent and drove out of court the girl's employer, who tried to certify to her good character. The British public has a well founded so- picion of the testimony of the police in such cases. The belief is general, more- over, that blackmailing prevails among the force. Professionally immoral women are allowed to promenade llegent street unmolested, while the casual way farer is jKiunoed upon. This case has roused indignation among people who have no sympathy whatever with the stereo typed agitation perserved in by one notorious journal. But just as the police stick to each other and the magistrate stands by the police, so the Home Secretary supports the magistrate and the Ministers bolster up their colleague. The result is they all come tumbling down together. Mr. Smith on Wednesday had to unsay everything he had said on Tuesday, promise an inquiry into the case and promise that Mr. Newton should be overhauled by the Lord Chancellor. Mr. Matthews came out of the business so badly that people supposed he would resign. I believe he did actually offer to resign, but Lord Salisbury thought he had better remain for the present. Mr. Mat- thews has been much attacked lately. He was Lord Itandolph Churchill's nominee, but Lord llandolph Churchill threw him over during this debate with what looked like alacrity, and called him a pe<lant, meaning that he took a purely lawyer-like ' view of a matter which involved things more important than legal particularities. He is an able man who came too late into politics. Forty-nine Conservative members have signed a letter to Lord Salisbury asking him to accept Mr. Matthews' resignation at once. ^ â€" THE CKUWN PKINCE-8 THROAT. What Eminent Doctor* Think of the Trouble. A Now York despatch says : Dr. Morrell Mackenzie, of London, has sent a cable- gram to the Medical Htiord detailing the results of his third operation upon the throat of the t'rown I'rince of Germany. The entire growth has b<"eii removed by the larynigeal forwps and tho parts beneath are in an apparently healthy condition. Dr. Mackenzie says : " Prof. Virchow has examined the s|>ecimen microscopically and re|Hirts that its tissue shows nowhere any alveolar structure or evidence of tho immi- gration of epithelial masses. The structure consists of sleiitler connec- tive tissue, which contains only on its surface enlarged cell ele- ments, partly undergoing proliferation, but assuming nowhere the character of in- dependent focal formation." Dr. Sherady says: " So far as the microsoopical exam, illation is oonuerned, the disease appears to be essentially of a noii malignant charac- ter. The dis|x>sition towards limitation cell proliferation may be oak'jsed by active intlammatory processes in tissues peculiarly exposed to limitation, but from any other point of view the outlook is not as promis- ing as it might be. Everything new in the way of prognosis must depend U(>un the fact whether or not there is to be any re- currenoe of the growth. If the latter ob- tains, with an increased disposition towards cell multiplication, chances for ultimate recovery will be on the wrong side. At present we have reason to hope (or the best. ' TWO MONTHS OK EAKTHgi'-VKES. .Shocks Still of Dally OccDFrenre In Maxlco â€" KulldinKa New Town. An Kl Paso, Tex., despatch says : Two dliuths ago to-day o xurred the first re- corded earthquake in the soTitbern part of the United Btates and the northern part of Mexico, and shocks have been felt at inter- vals ever since. Rumors and descriptions more or less accurate have been received from time to time from Bavispe, a town in the Mexican State of tiunora, 250 miles southwest from Kl Paso, showing that the disturbance thereabouts was perhaps the \ most serious of any. But no detailed state- ment from an eye-witness has been received here till the arrival to-day of J.J. Deaver, one of the owners of the only mine which is being worked in this region. Mr. Deaver says : "From May 3rd to June 25th, when I left Bavispe, there were at least three hun- dred shocks. I arrived at Bavispe May 4th, and have since explored all points of the country south and east of Bavispe for sixty miles. I have failed to find any trac«s of the reported volcano. I found signs of very heavy shocks twenty- five miles south of the town of Huachinera, which is thirty miles southeast o( Bavispe. A small moun- tain about 700 feet high Mi|n«<)lit clean in two and one side thrown *<l«>ei, wliile the other remains standing. Kis8ui;es a (oot or so wide and bundrt^s «of f^pt long were opened up in great numbers all through this region. " The greatest disturbance seems to have beea along the great mineral belt about six miles west of Huachinera. The mountains west of Bavispe have undergone a great change. It has been facetiously observed that the mountains had a quadrille and changed partners. When the great upheaval occurred the mountains moved up and down like great billows upon the sea. One range would drop down behind another and then rise up again. During the first shock tlames ahot up from the mountain and set all vegetation on fire, but the fiery outburst soon gave place to mud and water. Many new springs broke forth, and in gen- eral the amount of water has been increased one-half. " The town of Bavispe may be said to have been totally destroyed. It was the first shock ever known there. Of the 800- inhabitants, thirty-eight were killed out- right, four died soon afterwards and about IbO were more or loss seriously injured, making a total of 'iOOpersons, or one-fourth of the population, killed or injured. Pre- vious to tho earthquake nearly every build- ing in the town was constructed of adobes or Mexican unburned bricks. Since the shocks began, however, the people have moved from the old town site and are build- ing a new town on a little table-land not far from the old site, and they build noth- ing but brush and picket houses, being afraid to live in dwellings constructed ol heavy material. " The shocks continue almost daily. On June 25th, the day I left there, two ahooks occurred, one heavy enough to crack walls and knock down plaster. But the people show no intontion of moving away." JOHN CHINAMAN (Jarilinal Manning objents to a carriage and walks whenever his health permits. lie says that when cardinals went about in Ann carriages they generally went to the •Til. Insane Asyliiiii Atroeltles. { A New York despatch says : In conse- quence of the shocking revelations of cruelty to {uktients in the Ward's Island Insane Asylum, elicited during the inquiry into that institution, the (irand Jury has indicted attendants McHugh and ('leary for manslaughter. The particular oase selected is that of George Farrish, whose death the attendants are accused of causing by beating him. The acuust^d pleaded not guilty ana were committed to the Tombs. The mother o( John Froelich, who died under suspicious circumstances in March, IMHt), testified be(ore the coroner yesterday that she believed her son was kille<l. A month be(or« he died he seemed to bo strong and well, 'fwo weeks later when sheoalled at the liospital his head was cut in several places and his bixty was bruised. He waa thin and pale and complained o( pains in his sides. He said ho hail txien beaten. Three days later she waa notified of his death. When his body was brought over it showed two large bruised spots on his (ore- head, as i( ho had been atruok with a club, and the back o( his neck was terribly swollen and bruised. Marries a New Haven Heiress. A New Haven, Conn., despatch aays : Yan Phon Lee, o( Fragrant Hills, ('hina, who graduated with high honors at Yale's last commencement, was on Wednesday united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Maud Jerome, a New Haven heiress. The cere- mony was ({uietly performed at the resi- deuce of the bride's mother. Yan Phon J Lee fi.st came to America in IS73, and reside<i (or five years at Springfield, Mass.. a(ter which he lame to New Haven and a|ient four years in the Hopkins Grammar School, entering Yale in tho clasa of 'S4. After his freshman year ho was ordered back to China by the Gov- ernment, which had sent him and other sons of prominent ('hiuese residents to America for an education. Before return- ing to his native land Miss Jerome had fallen in love with him and the couple were engaged. T'he Chinaman became tired of home and surroundings and at the first opportunity he ran away and finally reached New Haven and his sweetheart. Ue again entereil Yale in the class of 'S7, and greatly distinguished himself through- out his college course. This wedding is the first one on record in New Haven where a Yankee girl has married a Chinaman, and the event excites considerable comment. After a wedding trip at Narragansett Pier, Mr. and Mrs. Yan Phon Lee will reside in New Haven, the groom intending to enter the journalistic field. m A UOUBLK IIHOWNINO. ' Mr. Wu>. HarKraft, e«-M.l'.P., of Cobourc, and DauKhter Drowned at the Seaside. A tJobourg despatch saya : A despatch was received here yesterday announcing the death by drowning of Mr. William Hargraft, of this place, and his youngest daughter, at Hcarboro', on the coast of Maine, for which point they, with Mrs. Hargraft, leftCobourg a few days ago. Mr. Hargraft, who was the father-in-law of Mr. W. O. GoiKlorham, of Toronto, was (or over fifty years a reaiilent of thia place, and had filled every |)osition of honor in the gift of his fellow. townsmen. He was for very many years a membtir of the ('ouucil and also Mayor of the town and a commis- sioner of the town trust. At the general elections of IH75 ho was elected member ot the Legislature for West Northumberland in tho Liberal interest, defeating C'aptain Gifford. He waa most highly respected, and the sad deaths of himself and his daughter, a young lady of about IH years of age, have cast a gloom over tho town. He leaves a widow and several children to mourn his loss. Arrangements will be made immediately to bring the bodies home for interment. Had to Cut Oil' Ills Wife's Hand. A Galena, HI., despatch says: Mrs. BautHiOi got her hand caught in a horse- power feed inachino at Sand Prairie. Her husband stop|>ed the machine, but could not extricate tho hand, and so cut it otT at he wrist. i The Secretary of the United States Treasury haa sent a silver medal to Miss Edith Clark, of Han Franoisoo, (or saving a schoolmate from drowning on August Slat, 1886. Tho admirers of ex Mayor Boswell pre- sented him, in tho Council Chamber of the(Uty Hall, Toronto, yesterday afternoon, with a lifo-size oil portrait of himself, which he immediately haiulod over to the city to be hung up in the chamber. Although much is written every year in favor of raising Jerusaleiu artichokes and chufas for hogs, their production appears ti bo diminishing. A farmer who wants to Slant an acre to either of them generally nds great difficulty in obtaining seed. Though it is said to be easy to raise nine hundred bushels of artichokes on an acre of f land seed cannot ordinarily be obtained ^ for lees than 92 per bushel.
