A last (Thursday) ni(;lit'g London cable •ays: In the House of CommonB this evening, Lord Uandolph Churchill, resum- ing the debate on the Land Bill, objected to Mr. lianneruian's amendment, that the Bill be rejected only, as raisinK a false issue. There was a general agreement, he â- aid, on the point that a Bill was abso- lutely necessary to afford relief to the Irish tenantry. It was a great mistake to im- pute a want of good faith to the Govern- ment in the proposals of the Bill. The Government had been forced to offer a temiwrary land measure before the s<.-8sion complete sabjngation of the peaceable mem- bers of the community to a lawless organ - i/.ation, which was now allowing the well- disposed a little rujiose from violence. Not- withstanding this there were 60 cates of malicious injury before the jury, showing that a deplorable amount of crime was still committed with impunity. The applica- tions for protection had also increased. The social tvranny had extended to mer- cantile and le"gal dealings, resulting m the complete suspension ef the aw. Full rejKjrts of the first orimmal trials which took place on Wednesday for resist- ing eviction with Bcaldingwater accompani- ment have just r4jache<i iM^re from Limerick. Justice Johnson presided at the assizes. It seems that on the estate of the Karl of Devon a sheriflf, thiit;/ constables and eight bailiffs had evicted a tenant named lialliman. There had been the usual barricade of trees, timber and rocks. Six men and three womenâ€" part clo«e<l, for no more o<liouB duty could : belonging to the family of the tenant and â-  " - -> theotliersbeingneighborsâ€" were the resist- ants and indicted. Evidence was given by the baili/lH establishing beyond doubt the identities of those of the accused who threw boiling water and scalding jmrridge and used pitchforks through the oritices made by the besieging bailiffs. It was distinctly shown that one prisoner thrust a red-hot iron bar through one of the oritices, burn- ing an emergency man. Local solicitors appeared for the accused and watched the case, but there was no barrister. Not a bit of evidence for the defence was adduced, and no address was made in favor of the prisoners. Justice Johnson summed up jjointedly against the accused, but, after some hours' deliberation, a majority of the jurors favoring a»|uittal, they were dis- charged, the judge roundly scolding the unknown dissentients. Five men were next tried for riotous conduct at another eviction on the same estate. In this case, however, some witnesses did testify against the jiolioe, charging them with barbarity. In a short time the jury aoiuitted the accuse<l, amid the cheers of the spectators. devolve upon the Irish Government than to administer the Crinu-s Act unaccompanied by a measure which would satisfy the tenantrv. , fries of hear, hear! I'roceed- iug to ( xaniiiie the clauses of the Bill, he â- upporttd Mr. Dillon's criticisms on the restrictions of the lease. holders' clause. mhLh he hoped the Government would amend. He did not see that the tenantry would derive any benetit from the clause dealing with evut'ions. (Parnellite cheers.) He would fear to entrust Irish agents, the advisers of the land, lords, with the powers conferred upon then, by that clause. (Cries of " Oh " from the Conservative benches and cheers.) What would have been the state of Ireland if this clause had been in opera- tion last winter? He did not doubt that from oiie-<iuarter to one-half of the tenantry would have been in a state of tumult and disorder appalling to contemplate. It was not within the limit of physical possibilities to deal with the clause this session. The Bill must be lightene«i by throwing it over. The bankruptcy clauses were eijiuilly ob. jectionable, inasmuch as they would tend to lower the moral tone of the tenantry be- sides pro<lu<:lMg an immeasurable mass of litigation. The Government, in view of the large numberof tenants who it was exiiected would be forced into bankruptcy seemed to be trying to build up a syslem of national cre<iit on a widespread foundation of na- tional insolvency. If the (ioverninent. with the Irish membors, would agree to dual with arrears and a revision of the judicial rents instead of the bankruptcy clauses, the Bill would be deprived of its worst features and would beoomeacceptable to the country. <Chaera.) Sir \V lUiam Harcourt congratulated Lord Uandolph on his clear ejiiKwition of the defects of the Bill. If Lord Uandolph's â- peech led to a new development of the Bill, the House would have no difticulty in passing it. Lord Uandolph had jwrformed a capital o|ieration under chloroform n\>on the measure, transforming its nature and leaving the mere skeleton of the Bill. If the Government iissented, the House would now try to put some decent clothing on the â- keletun. Lot the Ooveriiinont throw over, board the clauses that both 'X'ories and Libtirals opix)sed, and the Bill going with- out delay- into committee would find an ea#y passage. i . . Mr. GuHchen, si>eaking in buhal of the Government, said that while they would not attempt to disguise the difficulty of their taak, they must refuse to buy a single vote by mailing auy concession against their convictions. Dwelling upon the temporary character of the Bill, ho said the Govtirnment would do their beat to meet the views of the gentlemen on the Other side with regard to the leaseholders' clause. 1% boldly defended the eviction clause. He defended the bankruptcy clauses, and denied Lord Churchill's assor. tion that the Government was trying to found a system of nalicinal credit. He oposed the |)lan for a revision of rents advisod by the (,'owper Commission as fatal to the coming land purchase measnre. Mr. I'arnell said he thought Mr. Gosohen was looking rather to the enhanced value of his property under his future Land Pur- chaae Bill than to the interest of the Irish tenants. Tbe Oovernment proposed to abolish evictions by executing them under another name, with the object of getting rid of the record of inch transactions as evictions. The attempt to bolster up the judicial rents as the basis for purchase would defeat its own end, beoauM the land would not b« purchased on the judicial basis. The present measure would simply be regarded as a monument of stupidity and inaptitude. A speedy revision of rents was absolutely ne<'«ssary, Mr. Gladstone thought the debate had been conducted with great ability. Pre â- uming that the Oovornment maintained an open mind with regard to the aaggetiniis made he thought it needless to press the amendment to a division, but that the House should be left at liberty to amend and substantially improve the Bill. The oommittee understood that if pressed to do so, the Government wore willing to drop the bankruptcy clauses. He reminded the House that those clauses constituted what the Government had always put forward as a prominent part of the Bill and that no substitute was prn|X)sed. Assuming that Mr. Chamberlain intended to press nis amendments, Mr. Gladstone oalled attention to and hailed his speech with great satisfaction. 'X'bere was no reason to compel the Government to reject the suggestion with regard to the revision of judicial rents, and there was nn appar. ent disposition on the part of the House to sustain the Government in rejecting the proposals of the C!ow|M)r oommissiou. 1'lie Opiiosition had obtained a vantaf^e ground wbloli they could not have antiuiiiated a week ago, and with the pros|ib<it of a still further improvement in the views with whioh the measure was regardad by the other side of the House, he had hoped the amendment would not be preatad. The amendment was negatived and the Bill read a second time without division. It was decided to consider t)(UBill in oom- mittee on Thursday next In ths House of Lords this afternoon Baron Ashbourne, Lord Chancellor of Ire- land, move<l the second reading of the Crimes Bill. After s|M)eches by Karl Gran- ville, the Duke of Argyll, Lord Carnarvon and others, tbe Bill was read a seoon'4 v<me. A Dublin oable says ; Justice 0'B>-ian, '.n his address to the Grand Jury of County Kerry yesterday, statml that there was a decrease of crime in the county. He said he could not, however, congratalate the people on tbe teot, Ibe oease of it being the TiatNKU THK HOSE ON TURM. A I.lvrly llatllr llrlwi-Kii KHllroad Luhor- frx Mild th« City Aiilhiiritiaia at yuuiiK"- t4>WII, (>. A Yoiiiightown (() ) despatch says : A regular pit(?hed battle between about fifty I'lttshurg .V Western Kailroad employees, mostly Italians, oi; one side, and the whole city police force, with twenty-five specials, the City Kiigineer and Street CommiKHion- er's force, every member of the City Coun- cil and Fire Department, under the lead- ership of Marshal Williams, on the other, took plaro at l.:tO yesterday afternoon. Contractor Kelly, of the Pittsburg * Western, had a construction tram standing across Mill street, making a roailUul about throe feet above its grade, when the city forces at a given signal, blown on the fire whistle, p-it in an apix-arance, and two well directed streams from three-inch iioz/Jes soon drowned the railroaders nut. They deserted their locomotive and cars and the police mountiil the looomotivo. The railroaders rallied and cliiiibod upon it, and a battle took |ilace. Revolvers were drawn, the |MilicM used clubs and Ixitli parties fought until they all tumbleil out of the engine cab. By this time 'i.OOO iwxiple had congre- gated and a hand-to hand tight occurro<l. The police again oaptnreil the locomotive and pulle>l the train out of reach. Several arrests have been made, among them Con- tractor Kelly, who is now in the lockup. The city forces are now shoveling away the obstructions, and police are guarding the crossing. ^ THK LATB YACUT CALAMITY. Thr<-e Mm>« Itadiss ItotMivenid A Dlatrvw- Ins lurlilnat uf tile Aeitldellt. A Brooklyn despatch says : Three more of the bodies of the ill-fated pleasure seek- ers who went down with the yacht Mystery v/ero recovered at Point Breeze yesterday afternoon, and there are only twelve now missing. One of the saddest incidents of the disaster came to light to-day. A month ago Chas. Gargot, of HO Park avenue, after having been out of employment for some weeks, secured a lucrative iKjaition in a Chicago plate glass establishment. He went on, leaving his wife and two children at home. They were drowned. Yesterday a letter c*mo from Chicago to 86 Park avenue. Mrs. Gargot's brother received it, and seeing it addresseil to his dead sister in the familiar hand-writing of her husband, forwarded it to Mr. Gargot's brother. He oi>one<l it and found within an affectionate letter to the dead wife and money to pay her expenses to Chisago with her children. There was an admonition to come at onoe. BBNTENCED TO DKATH. Sensational Close afa Trifle Murder Trial In Paris. A Paris oable ssys : The Pranzini trial came to an end »i half-past G o'clock last evening in the presence of a most dazzling bouquet of Parisian momlaitut, artists and demi-montuirui. Among the spectator, sitting near me I noticed the Comtesse de Bourbon, the Duchesse de Fitzjames, Mile. Kossita Mauri and a bevy of dansouses from the Opera. Sitting right behind me were MM. Rocliefort and Clemenceau. Mile. Jeanne Gramer sat looking at the trial eating chicken sandwiches and now lid then refreshing herself from a delicate little silver flask. Pranzini stood cool but pale, listening to every word uttered by his counsel, and now â- ud then ho turned his eyes toward the pretty women and bewitching toilets that made the courtroom resemble a flower garden. When the prisoner's counsel, Maltre Deinange â€" who is considered at the bar one of the most accomplished rhetoricians since Maltre Lachaudâ€"ended his speech with the words, " Pranzini demande la vie aveo toutes scs jouissances â€" la vie avec les femmes ; la vie avec le jeu," Pran- zini stretched out his left arm, and with stentorian voice sliouted : " Give me death or give me liberty ; I am innocent ! " The jury retired, and after an hour and three-ciuarters' deliberation they returned a verdi t of guilty ss to the murder of Marie Kegnault and her servant, but said that the killing of the httlo girl was without pro- meditation. The I'resident, eyeini! Pranzini fero- ciously, said, " Pranzini, have you anything to say'.' " Pranzini answered in dry, crisp tones, and with clencheii teeth, " Son ! " Then the judge pronounced the death sentence. The ladies cried "Oh! Oh!" and many fainted away, causing a tre- mendous tumult. Pranzini motioned with his hands as if he wanted to speak. A dead silence ensued. Pranzini then muttered, "I swear to God I am innocent! " And this closed the trial for the triple murder of the Hue Montaigne. Krupp Dead. A Berlin oable says : Frederick Krupp, the well known German metal founder and gigantic steel gun manufaotnrer, died yes- terday in his villa near Kssen, Uhonish Prussia. Herr Krupp was born at Kssen, IHl'J. The enormous manufactory at Kssen was established by the father of the deceased in IH'iT. At tlrst the elder Krupp had only two workmen, and the works were conducted on the most limited scale; but under the sui-«5rvision of the son they attained to their present gigantic propor- tions. Herr Frederick was the discoverer of the method of casting steel in very large masses. He sent to the London Exhibition uf 1861 a block weighing ih German ijuin- tals, and at present a block can be cast weighing more than 4,000 quintals. Horr Krupp manufactured a large number of articles iisixl for peaceful purposes, but his name is more particularly associated with the gigantic steel siege guns which the Ger- mans used with such terrible effect against the city of Paris. In 1804 the Emperor William offered him letters of nobility, whioh he declined to aooept. A Collision of Trains. A London despatch says : Word reached here of a collision yesterday afternoon on the Petrolea and Sarnia Branch of the Grand Trunk, near Wyoming, the conse- (|uenoea of which, however, were not very serious. The gravel train in charge of (Jondnetor Gillean, of this city, was back, ing round the " V " towards Petrolea, when the passenger train from that station ran into It. The passengers were con- siderably shaken up, and Mr. Aleaander, of this city, was thrown down and somewhat out. 'The engine men of the passenger train jumped and escaped injury. No one on the gravel train was hurt, though the caboose was pretty badly smashed. It took about two hours to clear the track. ATTEMI>T TO MCKDKK A ltuH>lun Uraiid Diiehess by Kellglnus Fan at les. A London cable says : A despatch from St. Petersburg, which has come by way of Guinbiiinen, in Eastern Russia, states that on July 10th a ktind of religious fanatics attempted to murder the wife of Grand Duke Nicholas Constantinovitch, son of Grand Duke Constantine, uncle of the Czar. The attempt at asssHsination was inaiie at the palace, where the lady and her husband were slopping. The cause given for the attack was that the Grand Duchess, who is a Lutheran, refused to modify the terms of her marriage covenant, which accords her the privilege of remaining a Lutheran and joiiiiiigtheGreekChurch. The fanatics were all arrested, having been caught near the palace. While they wore being removed to jail they crieil to the Grand Duchess, " \Vi< have already had enough of Maria I'anlovona," referring to the Grand I iis^igiii of that name who is the wife of the Grand Duke Vladimir, brother of the C/AT, whom tho populace have bus. (lected of making proselytes. It is stated that previous to the att<<mpt religious fanatics also tried to kill the Grand Duchess Elizabeth, wife of the Grand Duke Serge. This lady is also a Protestant, b<Mng a daughter of Grand Duke Louis the Fourth of Hesse. . » . THK NOilLK NOOULK8 Who Admire Mrs. Leslie Will Not Fight. A London cable says : There will be no duel between ths Marijuis de Leuville and the Russian Prince Kristoff, who a few days ago playtnl res|>ectively the parts of cow- hider and cowhided in Hyde Park. Tho Mari|ois thirsted for blood, so he told his friends, but varioos influences which were brought to b«ar induced tho Prince to dis- appoint the noble Marquis in his longing, lie was apiwalnd to by Mrs. Leslie not to increase a painful scandal, and declared that consideration for her feelings was suflicient to induce him to let the Marquis alone. He has propoiKMl marriage to Mrs. Leslie and has Deen refused, but that did not diminish bis princely politeness and consideration. Mrs. Leslie, who has great ooiitidenoe in the ability of the Marqnis to do things well, also advanced the argument that the Marquis, who, she says, is the best duellist in the world, would either wound or kill him, and that it was beneath him entirely to be run through or shot by a man like De lisuville. The Prince refused to consider tho question of danger, but he de<:ided that if Mrs. Leslie's feelings were not at stake, his dignity as a genuine and uiKpiostioned prinoe would prevent him from Ughting with a gentleman who was not even a genuine and an nniiuestioned mart|uis. m Burned by Molten Iron. A Chicago despatch say : A frightful ac- cident occurred on Baturday morning at the Union Hteel Works, corner of Ashland and Archer avennes. Three men were en- gageil in (louring hot iron into a mould that was damp, when the metal flew up and burned them dreadfally. They were taken to the county hospital and the physicians declare that their recovery is eut of the question. Two of tbe injured are Poles and the third a Hungarian. Their names are : Michael Hisohe, George Woodford and Feral Kutsche. The following were seriously injured, but will probably re- cover : James Benneke, Samuel Wakel, James Hurst and David Jenkins. Wotxl- ford and Hisahewere married. They and Kutsche were taken to the hospital, while the others were removed to their homes. J. F. Johnson, ths foreman, was also struck by the flying metal and slightly burned. ^ Among the queer names in the Chicago ^rectory for 1887 are the following : Wog- gow, Smrz, Hmalrkivoiez, Smuozynski, lion. Wow, Yshick, Yskia, Zwierzchouska, Bzclmoohowski and Trjnak. On Jubilee day Birmingham gave an entertainment to 73,000 school children, Blsokburn to 17,000, Bradford to 'JI.S.OOO, Leeds entertained 30,000 poor adults and 80,000 school children, Manchester gave a breakfast to 80,000 ohildren, Nottingham feasted AO.OOO, Portsmouth gave tea and medals to 'J.H.OOO and BhefBeld feasted and gars medals to M.OOO. KILLED IH COLD BLOOD. rroiulnent Wanhlimton Cltliea Knifed to Death oa the MreeU by a Laboring Man. A last (Wednesdi^) night's Washington despatch says : The most sensational mur- der that has occurred here since the assas- sination of President Garfield was com- mitted about 5 o'clock this evening on the corner of Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue, opposite the northeastern end of the Treasury Department Building. Mr. J. 0. Kennedy, an attorney and real estate agc.t, one of the oldest residents of Wash, ington and a personal aajuaintance of many of the most prominent people of the National Capital, was murdered in cold blood and apparently without provocation by John Daily, a while laborer. A few minutes before 5 o'clock Mr. Kennedy left his oftice, just above Uiggs' Bank, and crossed the street to the opposite corner, where he mailed several letters. He then started to take a car of the Fourteenth street road. When he was within a few feet of the car Daily, who had been loitering around the corner for several hours, walked up behind him and drawing a large, keenbladed knife, similar to tht used by butchers in killing hogs, ran it into Mr. Kenned) 's right side ne.ir theabdomen with a vicious lunge, and then gave it a jerk sideways. Mr. Kennedy (ell to the ground, and after giving one cry of " Murder," groaned deeply and pointed to his murderer, who made no attempt to escape. A crowd assembled, and Henry Ason, a colored watchman, seized Daily, who had stood looking on, apparently the most unconcerned and self-possessed man in the crowd. Mr. Kennedy expired in about five minntes. The excitement rose rapidly and the crowd grew boisterous, threatening to hang the murderer. Daily paid but little attention to them and refused to say why he committed the crime. Once when provoked he turned serenely to tho crowd and said, " Yes, I killed him â€" d â€" n him." It was with difficulty that the crowd was restrained until Daily was conveyed to tbe station. ♦ â€" â€" COL. REYNOLD'S KOMANCE. tt'by a Rtrh South Carolinian Took Ills Slave for a Wire. A Columbia, 8. C, despatch says : A special to the l><iily lifiiinti-r from Sumter, S. C, reports the death in that county last Saturday of Colonel William J. Reynolds, in the Tilth year of his age. Colonel Rey- nolds, fifty years ago, was one of the most promising young men in the State, and was noted for his industry, integrity and active interest in military a'ffairs. He fell deeply in love with a beautiful young girl belong- ing to one of the first families in Clare- niont county, and made suit for her hand. He s«eme<l to be favorably regarded by the gir! herself, but her parents had more ambitious views for her, and would not allow her to marry him. Nothing daunted, the young man went to work to win a name and position whicl'. would render him more acceptable to the parents. He was elected to represent his oounty in the State Legislature ; seni'ed one term with credit and distinction, and returning to his home made another effort to secure the hand of the girl to whom he was attached. He was again refused ; but after he had been elected a third time over prominent and wealthy competitors the opposition to him was apparently silenced, the young woman pro- mised to be his wife, and all the prepara- tions were made for tho wwlding. At the last moment she wrote a note saying that she had yielded to the wishes of her mother and must decline to fulfil her engagement. This broke up Colonel Ueyiiolds' life and career. After brooding for a long time over his disappointment he took for a wife a negro girl who had been his slave, and lived with her to the last, regardless of public opinion and the entreaties of his relatives. Ho reared a large family of children, and himself drew up a will pro. viding for them all and putting them on an eijuality with his own nearest relatives. He left an estate consisting of some thou- sands of dollars in money and 4,(KK) acres of land, and it is thought that the validity of tbe will will be sustained. LABBY'S LETTEE. What the Jubilee Cost the Queenâ€" Chea^ Freneh WIneeâ€" The Language ofa Flsh- facâ€" Advice to the IrUh. Mr. Laboachere cables from London to- the New York H'orld .â-  The announcement that the Jubilee hospitalities will cost the Queen upward of ;i>iOO,000 is an exaggeration. The very highest official estimate, including charges of every sort and description, is under J'2.'iO,000. These payments are to be made out of the accumulations of the civil list. People who are in tbe habit of drinking cheap French wines under the delusion that they are consuming pure Bordeaux or Burgundy, will be interested to learn that within the last few weeks half a million gallons of Italian wines have reached Bor- deaux from Naples and Bari, in addition to some two hundred thousand gallons of Greek wine. Of course these wines, which are bought at inconceivably low rates, will leave tho town to which they are consigned after having been transferred by de'.terous mixing into Me<.loc or Macon. Having sought consolation by the abuse of its friends, the Timet proceeds to deal with Mr. Gladstone's speech to the Ameri- can delegates who brought him over tho testimonial and with the delegates. Mr. Joseph Pulitzer is described as a Bavarian, Mr. Perry Belmont as a man who wants- promotion and is williugto flatter tbe Irish, tbe committee as composed of pushing Irish tradesmen. Bays the Timet : " Tho whole thing is, as was shown in our columns a month ago, a delightful com- bination of vulgar political intrigue and sordid commercial speculation. Tho money was raised by charging for admission tO' dancing and fireworks. As for Mr. Glad- stone, his colossal vanity and insatiable appetite for flattery are well known, and he has repaid the donors with flattery as gross and as clumsy as that which pleases his own far from fastidious palate. It is difficult to conceive the depths to which a man has sunk before ho can contemplate such an offering with anything but repug- nance and disgust." Is not all this a little overdoing the vituperation ? The Timet appeals to all patriotic and intelligent men. May not possibly some of them vaguely opine that the cause that has to be defended by vilification of every one in the language of a fishfag is more notable for its weak ness than its strength ? The Coercion Bill has passed the House of Commons and will in a few days receive the Royal assent. The centre of resistance will therefore be transferred from Londott to Ireland. If the Tories fancy that the victory is already won, they are in a fool's (laradise. Let there be no outrage. The Tories hope to force the Irish into crime as a justification for the Crimes Act. The Irish must not play their game. They must oppose with a passive resistance whenever an eviction is attempted. The home of the victim should be barricaded and the task of the exterminators rendered ditfic'ilt. Whenever a man turns informer or takes land from which the rightful holder has been evicted, such a man should be treated as a leper. If the Irish are only true to themselves it will be found more easy to pass a Coercion Act in England than to carry it out in Ireland. FOl'K PEKMONS DKOWNKD By the Boat Being C«t In Two by a Ht«anier. A last (Sunday) night's Detroit despatch says : Between 11 and 12 o'clock last night a shocking accident occurred on tho river nearly opposite this city, by which three men ancl a woman lost their lives. The four, consisting of Christopher Nicolsns and his wife, Jacob Baohmann and Jacob Rohler, all residents of Detroit, had been s|>eiiding the evening at Le BieufT's wine house on the Canadian shore, just above Walkerville, and started to return a few minutes past 11. When near the island wharf the steamer Mackinac, whose approach the occupants of the boat had not noticed until too late to avoid her, struck the frail craft stinare on the beam and cut it completely in halves. The force of the blow threw the occujiants of the rowboat into the water, and they were drawn beneath the surfaoe by the power ful suction of the steamer's paddles before they had time even to utter a cry for help. The steamer was immediately stopped and every effort made to rescue the unfortunate [leople, but no trace of them could be dis covered. The three men were all employed at Kling'a brewery, in this city. Sanitary Value af Hot Tea. Tea taken hot is certainly more whole some than iced tea. This is well shown b; the enormous population of China, whioi could never have increased to its present numbers if epidemics had ravaged that em pire as (hey have those of tho West. In spite of overcrowding to a degree elsewhere unknown, and indescribably filthy sur- ronndings, the Chinese have remained healthy. The only sanitary redeeming feature of their lives is the almost universal use of tea as a beverage. That is to say, of water that has been boiled. This lesson in practical sanitation is of more value than anything brought forth by our numerous boards of health. National, State or muni, oipal. In the presence of an epidemic of cholera, typhoid fever or dysentery, the wisest precaution to take against infection would be to boil all fluids used for drinking purposes. â€" .S'l.

A Story Which .411 the Ladles Will .\|il>reelHt**. One of the drollest exhibitions of dress was made by a stout lady who went on an excursion to escape the heat of the city. She had bestowed unusual pains on her costume, which was of ecru pongee. The skirt and the waist were trimmed with in- numerable rows of fine knife pleating, made by machinery. It was flat- pressed, neat and rather becoming. She had a parasol made of over-lapping rows of the same pleating. She had a peaked bonnet, on which several rows of it were placed. Nothing could have been finer than the lady's ap- pearance as she sat down among the rather envious company. Pretty soon dampnesa came into the air and did a fatal work for tho frills. Kvery particle of the dressing came out of tho knife pleats. A brisk wind blew them out and blew them up. The fulness reijuired for pleating is just three times the surface it covers. That parasol was a mass of crazy, rufHed rags. That hat laid ever any old Irish cap that ever crossed a peat bog on a Tipperary widdy'a head. That dress was a half inflated, flopping balloon. The face of the lady got crimson with a sense of her disordered con- dition, and one was justiti»>d in thinking it would be 810 or ten days she would be get- ting at 10 in the morning in the police court. â€" Long Hranch Letter. Adverllalng for Skin tiralts. (Hartford Times.) Several months ago Miss Emma Neuman, of Bristol, had her scalp torn from her head by her hair catching in machinery in the mill where she was employed. Dr. J. Wilson, of Bristol, has been diligently en- gaged since in building up a new scalp by grafting on the head minute bits of skin taken from the arms of various persona. Probably he has exhausted the list of Miss Neuman's friends who were willing to con- tribute to her relief, for at this time he calls for outsids aid, in the following card : Young persona, not over aO, who are willing to confer a favor on Miss Emma Neuman, will greatly oblige her and her friends if they will allow seeds for grafting in the new soatp to be taken from their arm. The faniilv and friends have fur- niBhe<l material, and a good scalp is being made, but the lack of sufticiont material is now the greatest obstacle in auoessfully covering the entire head. The piece for grafting is pinched up and slipped off with- out pain or bad effect on the person. Those who will assist the recovery of Miss Neu- man may call on Dr. Wilson at hia ofHce at 9 80 a.m. or notify him, and arrangements will be made for the convenience ef parties. Dr. J. Wilson, Bristol, Conn, V. V. Ashford, a member of ths Sand wich Islands revolutionary Cabinet, was at one time a book agent in Toronto.
