The shinney Nuisance.

MARROW ESCAPE FROM THE LOSS OF An EYE
This afternoon. while Mrs. Captain Blizzard,
residing at 4O5 East Fifth street, vas sweeping
the pavement in front of her residence, she was
struck with great violence on the outward edge
Of one eye by flying block which went whizzing
through the sir from blow by shinney. A
number OF boys we're engaged in the sport OF
shinney at the time, but notwithstanding many
persons had been passing the scene Of their sport
they would net desist until after the occurrence
Of the above accident. Mrs. Blizzard was very
painfully hurt, and almost swooned away under
the force of the blow which she received.
1t seems to US that this shinney nuisance has
been tolerated almost long enough. In almost
every street the pAsser-by is compelled to move
along, il not amid shower Of flying missiles,
certainly in numbers sufficient to produce some
cause for dread.
1t is the greatest wonder to Us that accidents
do not happen more frequently. But they fail to
occur not because of any good management on
the part of the boys it is rather to be attribut-
ed to good luck. We understand that the May
or has issued orders for the breaking up OF the
sport. Why ia it not done 1t certainly cannot
be for lack OF observation Of the boys INDUCING
/ in the nuisance.

building, described the burning and discovery OF
the charred remains of the body alleged to be

tell the family that Goss was missing.
John G. Smith, who hauled the body ont OF

He related that colored woman had told him
that Goss had left the shop before the fire 90
CURED.
Two police officers testified to meeting Udder-
cook the night of the Ere, and he gave them an
account Of the burning of his shop with Goss,
for the purpose OF having it published in the
Baltimore papers, which was successful.
DR.. Howard, who made post mortem e1Ami-
nation of the burned body, testified particularly
with regard to the condition of the teeth, which
we're very imperfect, and very unlike Goss
teeth.

Jennie June, in her New York letter Of Fri
day says Christian Nilsson has always been a
client Of Worth, the French man dressmaker.
and il said to be passionately fond Of dress /;
certainly it must cost her great deal. Upon
her Worth has expended all the resources Of his
art in looping. punching folding and 'arTAng-
ing drapery, and her costumes present the
best result OF the modern revival OF this meth.
Cd But though harmonious as a whole. and
perfect as work Of art, it destroys materials,
and lacks the b.eadth and grace Of outline, ne
cesssrJ % dne effect upon the stage.
Thus the costumes Of Nilsson. though excess
siTely elaborate, are less beautiful to the eyes
Of many tnkh those Of other artists, upon which,
evidently much less time and money has been
spent One Of Missions toilettes for example
was OF white satin, the skirt striped, in addition
TO its pleatiug and putting with cords stitched
In Ike those of gentlemans shirt bosom, TWEEN
ty-fve IN group forming one stripe The
amount of work on this dress was enormous be-
tween four and i've thousand yards of stitching
being employed upon the cords alone.
This, for stage purposes, was all lost and
worse than lost. How 1t ruined the natural ef-
feet Of the beautiful material could be best APP
preciated by observing the bridal dress of Di
Murska in Lucia di Lammermoor which is al
most classic 10 its simplicity Lucca has no or
iginality, and not enough OF style about her
dress to win admiration from New York audi.
ence /; but Di Murska, while equally avoiding the
fussiness of the modern fashions, By a single
stroke Of genius achieves striking results.

Suspension OF the Reading Bat Factories.
All the Hat Factories in Reading, sixteen in
number, suspended on Saturday. The cause Of
the suspension is stated to be the unsettled con-
dition of the New York market, where the great
bulk of the hats are sent; the want Of orders and
the inability to make collections. There are from
500 to / 600 hands employed in these establish
ments and the monthly wages paid amount to
from SOS 900 to 10000. The probabilities are
that the Factories will not be able to resume for
several months
