How Spring Dresses Will be Made.
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
Most of the new Spring dresses are
made with basque bodice and double
skirt. Z ne panier arrangement does
not seem to be gaining much ground;
some dresses are trimmed about the
hips, but not in very bouffant manner.
AT the back the skirt is always draped
up more or less, but lower than was
formerly the case. If there be but a
single skirt, it is trimmed en- tablier in
front, with panels at the sides and some
sort of tournure and drappery at the
back. Combinations of two materials,
one plain, one figured, are still very
fashionable; indeed, very few spring
costumes are made of but one fabric,
and in many of them there are as many
as three or four.
A great many plain skirts are seen,
Of corduroy or velvet, for waking
dresses. Over these the overskirt is
simply draped and is generally of light
cloth or camels-hair, finished with ma
chine stitching ON the edges.
A new model for = jacket has long
coat back like those worn by courtiers
in the reign of Louis XIII. This is
made in rich brocade, and the velvet
skirt Worn with it has panel of brocade
to match: A popular English jacket
for young ladies IS the sportsman's jack
ct, rather short-ftting behind, lose in
front, with square basque, a quantity of
pockets of all shapes and sizes. and a
profusion of fancy buttons. For the
demisaison these jackets are made of
cashmere cloth, in dark shades of Rus
sian gray, beige of navy blue. They
are either double or single.breasted,
and have deep collar and reyers.
Advance importations of spring mil
linery are in medium-sized bonnets, tur-
bans and large, round hats. The Cla-
rissa Harlowe is again seen, with brim
faced and bound. Tuscan straws prom
ise to be the favorite among handsome
summer materials: chips and Leghorn
are too we'll initiated to suit fastidious
purchasers. A choice novelty in hats
has alternate stripes of Persian and
satin-fnished straw, which will harmon
ize exquisitely with new Persian rib
bons. Soft Persian silks. will be used
for bonnet trimmings doubled to form
a scarf and strings with the ends finish
ed with fine Breton lace. Bonnet orna-
ments are beautiful and odd. Large
gold-headed nails, screw-heads. pins
of shell, cameo and gilt ornaments, en-.
ameled in colors like handsome dress
buttons. are shown. Much lace will be
used, the Spanish styles in black and
white predominating. A choice novelty
shown at the Grand Depot is real gold
lace, fine as spiders web, yet strong
witha]. Less expensive is lace woven
partly of black silk and partly of gold
thread.
Chinese hats, woven of reeds, will be
used for country shade hats. They
will be embroidered in crewels or else
trimmed with silken scarf or tissue
veil.

WAITING FOR THE EXCURSION

The Grace Church exclil sion left Cape
May few minutes after four O'Clock,
yesterday afternoon, and everything
passed off delightfully."- until about half
past eight o'clock, when in coming into
the Christiana, the Republic got fast
aground, with her nose close up against
the Government pier. Here she laid for
fully an hour, the tide running lower all
the time, but finally the officers manag-
ed To work her off, and she came slowly
up the creek. The boat is large and was
heavily laden, but by the most careful
management, she was brought safely up
against the fast ebbing tide, until her
bow overlapped the end of Fourth street
wharf. The forward gangway was used
for The departure of the passengers, and
Notwithstanding the darkness, all Of the
two thousand excursionists were landed
without any mishap, although the rain,
which commenced to fall about the time
The boat landed, made it decidedly un-
pleasant.
Meanwhile anxious people had assem-
blei ON the wharf, awaiting the arrival
of The boat, and carriages began TO draw
up as early as half past seven O'Clock.
BY eight o'clock, nearly two hundred ve-
hcles were in waiting, and occupied all
of Fourth street, from the railroad to
the wharf. IL was eleven o'clock before
the last Of these carriages got of.
The shifting of freight cars on the r..
W, Il B. X. r. tracks, across Fourtl
street, blocked up that thoroughfart
Just as the excursionists were coming ul
tho street, and kept them waiting for d
| quarter of au hour. Many people
thought it would have been as well fol

operations for bali an hour until the
excursionists had passed.
| During the day, the chief feature o
TN. excursian was sight Of Capt. Pau
Boyton, who, in his unique swimming
,uit, was passed at Deep Water Point

Tired of Life.
AN OLD GENTLEMAN COMMITS SUICIDE
BY DRINKING LAUDANUM.

pf DhlNhlNt bAUDANUM.
Jacob Foulk, residing at 415 E.
Eight street, committed suicide yes
terday afternoon by taking an overdose
OF laudanum. fhe deceased for some
days past had been drinking TO some
extent, and it is thought that he be-
came low spirited which caused him to
commit the rash act.
He left his home in the morning and
returned about o'clock with two bot
ties of the deadly drug, having pur-
chased one at the drug store of j. r.
Hartman, and the other of A. Kuhl-
man. Upon arriving home he inform
ed his wife that he did not wish any
dinner, but would drink cup of cof-
fee. AT or drinking the coffee he went
out in TO the kitchen and procuring
glass, emplied the contents of both
Walls into it, and drank them. After
drinking the drug he returned to the
dining room and commenced playing
with two of his grand children.
A few minutes after he had return
ed to the dining room, his wife had
occasion to go to the kitchen, and
there she found the evidence of what
her husband had done. She at once
sent { or a physician, and in a short
time Drs. West, Brown and Kirchner
arrived, and found Mr.. Foulk in an
epileptio fit. The physicians did all
in their power to counteract the effects
Of tho drug, but their efforts were of
no avail as he expired about 3 o'clock.
The deceased was about GO years of
age and leaves wife and four chill
dren. He was somewhat well known
in tn ls city, having at one time been an
active Republican. He was a letter
carrier under Postmaster Lewis. At
the breaking out of the temperance
crusade in this city, the deceased was
one Of the first to. join, and take an ac-
tive part in its workings.
For some time past he had been ell
gagged in selling package tickets be-
tween this city and Philadelphia,
Front and French streets being his
base of action. 1t is thought that the
recent actions Of the railroad officials
prohibiting any further sale of the
tickets, somewhat affected his mind,
which caused him to commit the rash
act.
| Coroner Butt was notified of the oc.
curence, and during the afternoon
held an inquest, the jury rendering q
verdict of death from an overdose ol
laudanum administered by his owl
