The LandIady's Side of the Story
 Heard.
 Mrs. Twining, who keeps the boarding house No. 53 Prospect street and who de- tained Walther, the Scientific freshman, from leaving her house, denied yesterday that she imprisoned him. Walther's friend Marshall, who went to the police office night before last, said yesterday that he did not know that he was talking to reporters in the police office, but Mrs. Twining says that she will bring suit against him for damages. She has written to MT. Walther, senior, and in formed him of the trouble. The landlady said that Mrs. Walther hired the piano last September and agreed to pay $10 per quar- ter for it. Her son has used the instrument continually, but the landlady has received no pay. Lawyer Cooley will conduct Mrs. Twining's case He says that unless Marshall makes suitable retraction the proceedings will be made interesting for him.

 It's Rolling Stock.
 In the receivership case, which is pending in the United States Circuit court in Hart ford, the trustees under the secoad mortgage of the New York and New England road have filed a cross petition, praying for the partition of the rolling stock of the New England Car Trust, and for an order to close the trust. The petition represents that prior to January 1, 1884, the Amer ican Leon and Trust company, as trustee, leased to the road 50 locomstives, 39 caboose cars, IS passenger cars, 320 box freight cars, 4 e1presss cars, 920 coal cars, and 3 baggage cars, for which the trustee company issued 1, ,341 certificates of the value of S1 ,000 each, 100 of which are paid April 1, 1885,, and the remainder were exchanged for rolling stock of the railroad company. The petition fur ther represents that Receiver Clark, alleging that the continued custody of the whole of their rolling stock is Q burden, threatens to deliver it to the owner-the American Loan and Trust company, trustee-and in this case it would be withdrawn from the rail road. In the opinion of the petitioners the use of portion of it has added and will add to the earning power of the railroad; they therefore pray for division of it. Of this stock, 31 locomotives and 200 box freight cars are not in use.

Miss Jessie Lafone,s Exhibition at
 the Lincoln Rink.

The Lincoln rink was crowded last evening to witness the skating exhibition by Miss Jessie Lafone. This little lady visited our city short time ago and by her skating made such an impression the patrons of the rink that the managers were obliged to secure her services for an exhibition last night. Her performance last evening was even better than the previous one. Her manner of skating is very graceful and her feats difficult. Her imitation of 8 train of cars ascending and descending grade is 8 decided hit. After her performance on skates she executed clog dance and 8 sailors hornpipe. That the audience ap- preciated her exhibition was shown by the long and loud applause. At the conclusion of the exhibition Mir. Lafone, father of Miss Jessie, stepped to the center of the floor and presented the managers of the rink with beautiful picture of his daughter. Major Lincoln in very neat speech accepted the picture in behalf of the company which he represents. The gold plated skates presented to Miss Lafone by Mr. Winslow were on ex- ldbition at the rink.

 To a Drawing Room 1n the East Wind. From the London World.l
 At the first drawing room of the season, held on Thursday last, her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales representing the Queen, the small attendance was no doubt due in some measure to the prevailing cold east wind. By one o'clock few carriages were in line, and their occupants endeavored to keep themselves warm with thick wraps. The usual interested crowds who generally throng the Mall on drawing room days were | not so numerous, for the day was far from tempting and the clouds of dust were dr1ven about, but not 8 water cart was to be seen, though little sflaying of the dust would
 have been very acceptable to all! Footmen and ceachmen were mostly wrapped 1n great | coats. As to the equipages, shabbiness was the principal feature. It was indeed bar 1 barous day to sit with bare shoulders for an
  der if the attendance at the drawing room was scarcely up to the average. The most | striking note of the day to the onloekers at | the carriages and their occupants was the | total reversal of all old-fashioned notions on l the subject af flowers we are partly accus- | toned to; these were carried in many 1 instances. Two ladies had large punches ot
 arum lilies ths effect was hardly happy | one; others bore unwired punches of white | lilac or heather of unusual size. One more | protest may be uttered in respect of the crowds of insolent men and women, and boys
 and girls scarcely out of their teens, who
 cluster round each carriage door, circulating
 the most objectionable comments concerning | it's occupants and almost pressing their faces against the windows. Many foreigners must l wonder at our toleration of such abuse of I the liberty of the subject. All sorts of nota- | bilities were to be seen on Thursday riding,
 driving, or on foot in the Mall; among them l his grace of Canterbury with a large escort. i Mr. James Lowther, his brother-in-law MT. Gerard Lysley, Mrs. Arthur Lewis and her daughters, MT. Maple, and many mere. Disease is very various" :" was Mrs. Par I
