| While returning from the valley, her car
| was stoned by party of men and boys
| whom she denominated " hoodlums," at n
way station, and when she made her ap-
pearance on the platform they demanded
! wine She informed them that from their
actions she thought they had drank enough
already, and they apparently concluded
| that she was about right, and molested her
no further. While the car was in the depot
yesterday many inquisitive glances were
cast toward it, by people anxious to see the
Lily" bpt no crowd assembled. The
curtains OF the car were kept down, and
little was seen of its occupants. Two men
| who were especially DESTROYS to see the
lady hit upon a successful scheme. Stand
ing in front of her window, they discussed
the length of the car very gravely, as
| though it was matter of doubt whether it
was exactly right for an expected emer-
gency, and then one took out tape line
and began measuring it. This was too
much for Mrs. Langtry's curiosity, and she
pulled aside the curtain, leaned out, and
entered into conversation with the strate
gists. During the afternoon she took a ride
about the city, viewing the objects of in

also much valuable statistical matter, and

book worth examination and possession
FINE HORSE Disabled. - Yesterday
morning at the Park, while Delaney d
Ayres' colt Harry Rose was being led be-
hind another horse, at the galloping track,
| the halter broke. Rose did not appear to
| be frightened but started off playfully, and
soon attempted to jump the fence into the
main track but did not have Roadway
enough, and his thighs struck the fence,
causing several large slivers to penetrate the
| flesh, intiicting a shocking injury, which
will lay him up for this season at least A
veterinary surgeon was summoned, and all
the slivers removed. One wound was eight
or ten inches deep. Harry Rose is by
Rutherford, and was considered one of the
most promising three-year-old thorough
breds in the State. His owners gentlemen
much liked on the turf, are especially I'M
fortunate this season, having about two
weeks ago lost their fine mare Laura
through an attack of pneumonia.
THE FOURTH Many of the business
houses on J, X and other streets COM
menced yesterday afternoon the work of
decorating their premises with the national
colorS, evergreenS, etc, and when the work

an appearance as it ever has on the national
holiday. Last evening Young America
made things lively by discharging guns,
there was a grand feu de ioie in honor of
" the day we celebrate Many visitors
have already arrived in the city to enjoy
to-days celebration, and the fine pro-
gramme provided by the citizens commit |
tee-tully set forth in the advertising col |
umns-will doubtless bring great gather
ing to-day
\ GOOD SCHEME.-The proprietor of a
popular saloon of this city has hit upon a
fine scheme to increase business. When |
he draws glass of beer that mas not much |
head to ii, he puts little salt in the glass !
and, presto the beer fOams beautifully |
delighting the purchaser. Being smooth |
talker, he manages to detain the customer |
in conversation for a few minutes, and by |
that time the salt has made itself felt, and |
more beer is called for. a little more salt |
is added the drinker rather liking it as a |
novelty, and not realizing at the time that |
the more he drinks the more thirsty he is |
becoming, and thus, by little tact, two or
three customers are made to serve as well |
for nights business as a large crowd.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENr-Th fire de
partment have made arrangements for an |
unusually fine appearance in the process |
