Mrs. Robert Lincoln and Miss Lin
coin Presented at Court.
LONDON. June 3.-The last drawing room
was certainly remarkable for the number
of splendid costumes worn. The true roy
alties were in mourning, but this served only
to show up the costumes of those who came
to the throne to be presented.
A good deal of curiosity was expressed
among the ladies to see the new American
minister's wife and daughter. They both
came through the ordeal remarkably we'll,
and. indeed, the American presentations
came out strongly. Mrs. Lincoln wore a
ha dsOme jupa of black silk trimmed with
black tule and embroidered with Jet. A
long tram black silk hung from the waist,
for ,hOugh it is optional to wear it from the
shoulders, one feels the weight more when
1t Is so placed. The low cut cOrSage was OF
the same material trimmed IN the same
manner. Mrs Lincoln wore collarette OF
diamond stars fastened on black velvet and
small diamond earrings. She carried bOu-
quet of purple flowers.
Miss Lincoln, who was pres onted by her
mother. looked fresh AMI pretty In charm
ing debutant's gown of white pOult de sole.
The front of jupe was yvered with tulle
hung with tiny silver pendents that shlm-
mered as she walked and were he d IN place
by a chatelaine of da sizes and grasses. The
train was also of white poult de sole. The
cOrsage was trimmed with tulle, daisies a d
grasses. Her court plumes and lapels were
white. Pearls were her sole ornaments, and
her bouquet consisted of pure white eXOtlcS
and madenhair fern.
In the diplomatic circle Mr.. Lincoln pre-
sented Mr.. Mccormick, second secretary of
legation; Major Post. of the United States
army, military attache: and Lieutenant
Buckingham, of the Unite States navy,
naval attache of the legation.

SUNDAY TRAINS,

A few weeks since prominent members
of the Episcopal, Methodist, Congregv-
tional and Baptist churches circulated a
petition to the State railroad commission
ers, asking them to require the discon-
tinuance of trains through here during
the times of service on Sundays. The
petition was signed by all the pastors
and many citizens. On Wednesday there
was hearing in the matter at the Addi-
son House. EX-Gov. Ormsbee and Mr..
Truman G.. Fletcher of the commission
and Mr.. Watson of Hartford, clerk of the
board, were present. EX-Goy. Pnigree
was i'll at his home in Hartford and could
not come. The Central Vermont repre-
sentatives were President John Gregory
Smith, Vice-President E. C. Smith, Cen
eral Manager Hobart, Col. George Il.
Childs, the presidents private secretary,
and c. A. Prouty, Esq, of Newport.
The petitioners presented their case quite
fully, among those who testified being
Rev. Messrs. Keith, Carpenter, Heaxt
and Cambridge. the pastors of the sew
eral churches; Rev. DR.. Archibald, Pres
ident Brainerd. Professor Seely, DR.. Rus
sci and Messrs. j. b. Benedict, Joseph
Battell, f. A. Bond and Albert Chapman.
The law on notwithstanding was dis
cussed by Rev. Mr.. Carpenter, States
Attorney Wilds and others. The rail
road people told what the state of the
case was with them and what they must
do if the livestock business was to be
carried on at all. 1t seemed to be the
opinion of President Smith that the run
ming north of empty cars on Sunday
could be discontinued, but that it would
not do to hold the pig trains; the latter,
| however, would be run through the vii

KILLED BY A FALLING DERRICK.

. James +. Sumner of East Middlebury
was instantly killed, shortly before noon
on Monday, in the south part of the town
of New Haven. He and a gang of men
under him began last week to relay the
abutments of the bridge over the Muddy
Branch close by the old quarry of the
Cutter Marble Co. A derrick belonging
to MIR. Sumner was used to facilitate
operations. All went well till the time
of the accident, when the upright stick
of the derrick broke. allowing the boom
to fall. 1t struck Mr.. Sumner on the
head, crushing in the skull and knocking
him over to the stOnework below. His
right thigh was fractured near the hip
by the fall. A New Haven man working
with him was also slightly injured. Word
was at once sent here and a team from
Williamson's stable went out for the
remains, which were taken to the under
taking rooms of Brewster & Co. and
prepared for burial previous to their re-
moval home.
Mr.. Sumner was AZ years of age. He
leaves a wife and three children-twC
boys about 10 and years old and a
daughter younger. The widow is a
daughter of James Read of Forestdale
Besides these, of his immediate family
there are two brothers, Arson j. of East
Middlebury, and George H., who is il
business in Rutland.
Mr.. Sumner was stirring business
man, upright and honorable in his deal
ings and universally esteemed. He haC
been extensively engaged in numbering
operations and his death will be a seriou
blow to the business interests of tina
portion of the town.
The funeral was attended from tn
home at 2 o'clock Yesterday afternooH
Rev. Mr.. Carpenter officiating.
