NEW YORK FASHIONS.

Hints and suggestions ON Themes Pleasant
to the Fair sex.
Pale olive, fawn and mushroom tints
are at present in high favor. They
are refined, cool looking and adapted
to almost any occasion. A stylish
dress is made OF mushroom-cOlored
silk-warp Henrietta cloth. The dress
called Directoire was cut In redingote
fashion, with superb bands Of gold and
silver passementerie running down each
side OF the front, covering the largo
Directoire collar and forming the en-
tire vest over which the garment
opened. The skirt was Of pale mush-
.room-c0lOred watered silk.
French mohair is In great use this
season, and many really elegant gowns
are made of 1t, for visiting, travelling
Iand the promenade. Moire silk IL
almost exclusively its trimming, and
often there is more OF the latter
fabric In the costume than Of
the mohair. Black alpaca and
black moire are also popular. Dove
gray mohair with deeper shade Of
watered silk, formed q stylish travel
lug dress for q bride last week, and
another, for like wear. was made of
ifawn-colored mohair with skirt, vest.
), and mousquetaire cuffs Of white MORE,
these almost covered with fawn-col-
ored and white silk gall00n.
| A pretty toilet worn by lady artist
lat a reception recently was made Of
icream-colored broche Grape. The
sleeves were very becoming to tho
wearer, who is blessed with super
abundance Of flesh, for they were made
,of kind OF network. with lines Of
gold running down 1t. This is a very
good idea for those to whom nature
has been overland, for the straight
lines running from shoulder to wrist
take of great deal Of the look of too
solid flesh without the aid Of the SUR
ge0n.
Zephyr ginghams, French muslins,
India lawns, chamberys and dainty
,cambrics abound on every side. This
sounds very much like economy, but
the impression that fabrics that cost
but little q yard tend TO reduce expense
.is fallacy OF which we have all had

A BALL OF FIRE


Springfield, o., visited BY . Dangerous
gtorm-Excitemen at the Arcade Hotel
Over an Electric Bolt.
SpRrNarrELD, o., Aug. 7.-About dark
this evening terrific wind and hail storm
passed over the city. No such thunder
and lightning has been witnessed here for
years. Trees are uprooted and blown down
across the streets Of the city, and large
number Of buildings are unroofed. Light
ming struck the Arcade, tearing off largo
portion Of the north part of the roof. The
Arcade Is rooted in the center, almost
its entire length, with inch h-thick glass.
Fully third Of this was hurled to the
sidewalk beneath. Pedestrians are con.
stantly passing beneath, but fortunately
was blown down, bricks going through the
entire building to the floor. One brick
crashed through the roof Of cigar store
filled with people. A scramble was made
for the door, in front Of which broken glass
two inches deep was piled. In the
rush people fell pell NELL on their
hands, cutting them badly. A boy six
years old, named Drumm, in the Arcade,
was struck by glass and stunned by
lightning, but is not thought to be fatally
hurt. Angry black clouds hung In the
west for an hour before the storm came.
Suddenly rain and hail fell IN torrents,
and for Ave minutes a hurricaneprevailed
An eyewitness Of the lightning striking
the hotel said ball Of fire struck the cor.
nice, tore it Off for hundred feet, branch-
ed of, going on to the glass roof Of the
Arcade, where It fell to the pavement
below like spent sky-rocket. The
ball Of fire seemed to be as large as a
mans head. Windows In the vicinity
were broken, and the covering over the
sidewalks were torn of. The entire front
of Shaffer's feed store was blown in. It Is
impossible to estimate the total loss, but
that on the Arcade will be about $4,000.
Reports from Medway, this county, state
that the hurricane did great damage to
corn and woodland. Ono large piece Of
heavy timber land was swept down as with
a scythe, -.
