CH1LDREN's DREssEs.-A Paris letter to
the New York Times says: "Children's
dresses vary but little in cut; they are still
made in princess shape. They differ in ap-
pearance only by the different ways in
which they are trimmed, either with plast-
rons, reyers, or scarfs. The most suitable
styles for babies is the blouse with fiat
plaits, fastened to the waist by means of a
belt This is decidedly more comfortable
than the heavily trimmed garments with
which so many little ones are so burdened.
The blouse can be made quite pretty by the
choice of a handsome material, such as
white cachemire, which should be lined
with light flannel. The skirt is trimmed
with embroidery or lace, which falls below
the garment. The "bravette' is trimmed
with the same embroidery and lace which
trim the upper part of the waist. For
ordinary wear belt of the same material
as the blouse is WON. The more elegant
baby dresses are embroidered by inserting
heavy Mirecourt lace or guipure, separated
by small plats or embroidered bands to
match with insertion falling Cover the seams
The cuffs and neck pieces match the re-
mainder of the work. Over this dress Il
broad ribbon belt is worn under colored
transparent piece of goods.
A style both pretty and convenient for a
little girl is the Betsy dress. The waist is
long, forming casaque, which falls below
the hips. A deep plating is sewed to this
casaque to initiate a skirt. A broad scarf
is gracefully and firmly twisted and placed
over the point where this is joined; Little
boys suits are plated front and back in
large plaits.
A pretty dress for miss may be of sky
blue or brown poplin, with large Louis
XVI vest buttoning straight down. The
casaque habit buttons over the vest 1t is
trimmed with guipure or embroidery, and
has cuffs and large Mazarin collar.
ABSENT MINDED.-The Troy Press says:
"a young lady of Waterford, who was re-
Gently married, yesterday had her furniture
insured. The policy was taken home, and,
as soon as the husband glanced at it, he
laughed and pointed out her error. This
morning she again appeared before the in
surance agent and wanted the policy
changed, explaining that she had forgotten
she was married aid had her maiden name
inserted in the policy.

One Woman's Life.

People who cross City Hall square at
night have noticed little old woman
dressed in an odd brown gown, a tight
sacque, and white frilled cap scrupulous-
ly clean. She walks the square from p.
M. till past midnight to and fro, scanning
every mans face, and after many
disapointments every night goes slowly,
very late, up to her home in Mulberry
street. About four years ago John Reilly,
her husband, was employed in the press
room of the Herald. About 0 o'clock
every night he met his wife, who brought
down his lunch and carried back the
dishes. One cold dark night he did not
meet her, and as she did not know the
way to the press-room she waited some
time and then went home. In her room
she found his dead body upon the bed.
He had been killed by the falling of roll
of paper. She did not die, though she
was near dying, and she still waits every
night to meet her husband. Winter and
summer are alike to her, and no weather
delays her, though she is sixty years of
age.-M Y. World.

A Murderous Fight Near Allentown.

ALLENTOWN, September 3d. At
Mount Pleasant Corner, a small village
in this county, fifteen miles from Allen
town, there occurred yesterday a severe
fight between Ellis Lentz and Jacob
Kressly, neighboring farmers, which result
ed in the death of the former. The fight
occurred in this way Lentz's pigs broke
into Kressly's cornfeld, and Kressly
opened up by stoning the pigs. This
Lentz did not fancy and retalated by
hitting Kressly with his fist, which was
returned in like manner. The next
movement was made by Lents striking
Kressly with cane, when Kressly picked
up fence rail and struck Lentz across the
back of the neck, killing him instantly.
Kressly was arrested and brought to this
city and lodged in Jail. This morning
Kressly was taken to the scene of the
murder, accompanied by his attorney.

Deaths at a Funeral.

A terrible accident occurred Sunday
morning on the Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn,
division of the Long Island Railroad. A
train from the Flatbush avenue depot ran
into coach that belonged to funeral
procession and killed two of its occupants,
besides severely ipjuring the others. Early
in the morning the funeral services had
been held over Patrick Duff in the Gath
Ollie church at the corner Of Throop avenue
and McDonough street. When the SER
vices we're over it was intended to take
the remains to the Cemetery of the Holy
Cross There were sixteen carriages.
The procession went by way of Brooklyn
avenue to Atlantic avenue. The crossing
at this point is not protected by gates to
stop the traffic when the trains are passing.
Ten of the carriages had crossed over when
a Long Island train was seen approaching
on the down track at full speed. In the
eleventh carriage were Mrs. Stephen
Mahan, of No. GO Montague street, and
her three children-Teresa, aged thirteen,
Celia, aged seven, and Thomas E., aged
fifteen years. Mary Redmond, niece,
aged sixteen, was also in the carriage.
The driver was Patrick McNamee, of No.
1873 Pearl street, Brooklyn. When he
saw that the train would pass the crossing
before he could get over the track he
tried to bring his horses to standstll.
On second thought McNamee believed he
could cross in time, aud urged his horses
to gallop to escape the locomotive, which
at that moment was almost upon him.
Michael Dunn, the fagman stationed at
that point, called to McName to stop, but
the latter kept on. He had hardly got
his horses moving when the locomotive
dashed into the carriage, striking it
squarely in the center The engine threw
the driver off the box, and the carriage
was lifted off the track and pitched to the
railings thirty yards beyond. McNamee
landed upon the cow-catcher of the locomo-
tive and was carried over one hundred
yards before the train was stopped.
