LAWN PARTY.

Miss Sophie Carr, Friday evening, gave q
most enjoyable reception at her grand
mothers residence, Mrs. Zane, at Pleasant
Valley. The affair partook largely of the
nature of lawn party, as the grounds and
lawn in front Of the house were hung with
japanese and American lanterns, tastefully
entwined among the heavy shrubbery. The
house itself was thrown open and as it was
brilliantly lit up added much to the effect
iveness Of the scene. The evening was all
that could be wished for, the temperature
being neither too cold nor too warm. al
though light shawls and wraps were popular
with the ladies as they enjoyed promenade.
Professor Killmeyer occupied the piano
stool and intoxicated his auditors as of old
with the extreme sweetness Of the melody
that rippled from his finger ends. Miss
Sophie Carr made charming hostess and
was assisted by Mesdames Zane Platof
Zane and Carr In dispensing hospitality to
The company. At 1870 P. N. tempting re-
freshments were served, after which dane
ing was continued for on hour or SO, ere the
Shrek of the 10 P. n. motor caused an
abatement of the festivities. Among those
present were Misses Josie McCsbe, Efie
tpdegrsf, Allie McCaSSee, Ida Updesraa,
Jennie Baker, Katie Hazlett, jamie Good.
Narcissa Patterson, Jennie McPhail, and
Messrs Albert Whitaker B. Jamison, Bert

STEEL INVESTIGATORS.

Thursday morning small but select
party of ladies and gentlemen left on the
steamer Princess to Investigate the new
steel plant at the Bellaire mill in answer to
a kind invitation from Mr.. Howard Nc
Courtney the son of the manager. AS some
confidential friends had given the ladies a
few pointers in regard to the general clean
illness of the interior of nail mill. they con-
6dingly and appropriately bedecked them
selves out in white from top to toe. The
tour through the mill was infinitely inter
esting. The manager himself accompany
ing the party and explaining the intricate
portions of the machinery to his fair audi
tors who came with perfect tumble OF in
formation in regard to raw material plates,
machines and durability Of steel nails, etc.
As luck would have just after the entire
tour of the mill had been made, and the
party were waiting On the landing for the
steamer, heavy shower came up COM
pletely drenching the guests and adding a
finishing touch TO the ravages made on the
ladies bewitching costumes by the smoke
and SCOT of the Princess.

STAG PARTY.

Wednesday evening the members OF the
R. A. M. were entertained by Mr.. George
Whitaker, at his home on fifteenth street.
Contrary to the usual custom of these gen
tlemen the presence Of the ladies on this
occasion were tabooed, the marked absence
of the maidens making them as body
awfully mad. The boys, in spite Of the ABB
sence of their usual fair partners, spent the
evening in an exceedingly pleasant manner:
Prof. Rilmeyer was present and presided
throughout the entire evening for stag
auadrilles and waltzes and also furnished
acceptable Accomplishments for the Choir.

elegant refreshments were served, after
iTbich an interval was in order, when GER
tain Of the gentlemen, through the clouds
of smoke emitted from Henry Clays and
Cigarettes, entertained the company at
large with experiences, both real and i'm

Cupid shafts. The fun was continued till

COTTAGE HONE SOCIAL.

The picnic and hop given by this society
Thursday afternoon at the Wheeling park
was grand success. The light rain which
tell at noon only dampened the grounds
and did not interfere in the least with the
enjoyment of the company. The company
is composed Pleasant Valley and the near
vicinity, and are consequently eminently
congenial as they are known one to an
other. The supper spread by the ladies on
the tables at the top OF the mound was, in
deed, feat Of culinary skill. Dancing
was the principal amusement, Cummings
Orchestra of Pleasant Valley furnishing the
music that could not be excelled for the &C.
casion. The fun was continued without
intermission till half past / o'clock, when
the motor brought the company to the city,
while private rigs furnished transportation
for our country cousins. The affair, as
might have been predicted, was complete
social success, as has been all of the pro-
ceeding hops and picnics given by this or
ganization.

A FE.ARFUL FALL.
A Man Falls IS Feet, AIIEhting on q Brick
Pavement.

Yesterday morning about four o'clock
the prOprietors of Winter & Thornburgs
hotel were awakened and informed that
dead man was lying on the pavement in
front Of that hotel The proprietOrs and
seyerali Of their guests hustled down stairs
and found one Of the boarders named John
Gum, lying on the pavement, apparently
ifeless.. The man was carried into the hO-
tel and a messenger dispatched after DR..
Ulrich. The doctor on an examination
pronounced the mans injuries not necessari-
" fatal The most serious injury visible was
long dark spot on the left SIDE Of the body,
over the short ribs. Fears are entertained
that he is hurt internally, From what could
be learned, Mr.. G1nn retired TO his room,
which is one of the front rooms in the third
story Of the building, about eleven o'clock,
and went 10 bed. About 3 clock he had
occasion to get up and in some manner fell
out OF the front window to the pavement
below, distance of about thirty-iYe feet
where he was found in an insensible condi-
ton about an hour later. The large pool
of blood on the pavement showed that the
man bled freely, from wounds in the head.
The mans injuries, excepting the one on
the left side, are confined TO the right ankle
and his head

BETTING ON POLITICS.
The state of the Odds Among Eastern
Bettros.

Bettros.
Remarkably few are the bets that have
been made in this section on political re-
suits. For the most part they have been
on local Offices and were Of character
that required no deposit as it is considered
foolish to put up" money for so long a
time, With the average Wheehugite hats
and Suppers are the favorite wagers, until
within few weeks or days Of he election,
when money goes up very freely. Betting,
over the country generally, favors Cleve-
land, though a majority Of sporting men
have not as yet made up their minds. On
this subject the Philsdel phia Press, strong
Blaine organ, says:
Among sporting men betting is even as
between Blaine and Cleveland.
Joe Richey, of St. Louis and Washing,
ton, who won heavily on Carlisle as Speaker
and on the nominations of Blaine and
Cleveland, has placed a good deal Of money
on the latter's election, but while Richey is
proverbislly lucky man, he never bets
against his partisan preference.
Along the Branch the other day Phil
DAILY told me he was holding about $4,000
N bets on the Presidential election, and
that in every case the Wsgers were even.
The fellows who bet on Blaine are gen
orally New Workers who hang about the
Stock Exchange and clubs and don't gel
out among the people much.
There is even more betting on States
than on general results.
One even wager was made in my hearing
that Pennsylvania would give Blaine so, ZOO
majority. On New Jersey there are many
propositions, the favorite being that the
truck patch will go Republican.
Woerishoffer, the Wall street broker, bet:
that Cleveland will carry New York; pei
contra, hear that Blaine will carry tha
State by 10000.
A favorite Republican wager is that
Blaine will be elected with or without New
York.

VICTIMS TO POLITICS.
Too Much Campaigning for Social

Last Weeks Gayeties curtailed BY the

Social circles have been notieeablefor the
past week on account of the lack Of gayety
that pervades all cliques In the city. Every
thing Is dead, said leading member Of one
set to q reporter yesterday. The political
issue Of the day seems to amuse the girls
more than the old time popular Picnics and
balls. As for the boys, they seem to have
dropped out Of society entirely for the time
being. The drilling of the campaign clubs
taking up they claim all of their time.
