soWa of the Recently Imported Fabrics
for Summer Gowns.

L. IOr summer Gowns
Among recently imported fabrics for
summer gowns are diaphanous white
nets and silk r1oussellnes painted with
flowers In all their natural tints, ar
ranged as a border near ofie ,se1vage and
strewn In small sprays over the whole
surface-roses, carnations, orchids, or
violets on pure white grounds. In black
nets the new suggestion is cream white
embroidery representing real point-lace
wrought on scalloped edge for the foot
Of the skirt, in narrow insertion for
trimming on the other edge, and In
small sprigs in the spaces between.
Ecru nets for dresses are wrought all
over with pink and white blossoms, or
else the large.meshed silky net has
merely thickly. wrought mitred edges at
the foot, all in ecru tones.
The wool bareges worn generation
ago are revived for summer dresses,
both in plain colors and brocaded with
small blossoms, as gray barege with
white flowers, black with green leaves
and ecru with roses New veilings of
thinnest wool have large separate BIOS
SONS embroidered amid the rows of
drawn-work that border one selvage, as
red yelling wrought with large black
pansies, and black veilings with pansies
In all their natural tints. Ecru and gray
batistes have bands of violet and vel
vet.ribbon applied rs borders, with sim
gle long-stemmed violets embroidered
over the fabric, while other creamy
batistes have gold-thread borders of
bands and vines most exquisitely
wrought Thin summer cashmeres in
turquois, mushroom, pale gray and
bright red shades have small black lace
flowers inserted all over the breadths,
with rows of lace insertions at one edge
for the foot of the skirt, the yoke and
sleeve trimming.
A novelty in summer cloths and cam.
els-hair for making Spanish jackets
and for sleeves and borders OF silk
gowns is plain cloth thickly studded
with steel or with jets in small faceted
studs. Black, gray, or beige colors are
the grounds for these cloths, and they
are made up in combination with ben
galines and India silks with trimmings
Of silk cords and spiked ends of the
same metal as that in the studs. This
unique combination is prettily illustra-
ted in gown of black India silk strewn
with long pink and green leaves, worn
with a Spanish jacket cuffs, and skirt
border of gray cloth thickly studded
with steel. The silk waist represents a
blouse in front, but is closely fitted in
the back, and has turned-over collar
and full sleeves. Over this is q jacket
or sleeveless bodice of the new gray
cloth studded with steel, fitted in the
back by black cord lacing down the mid
die, and supplied with large eyelets in
front, through which similar cords with
steel tags lace it across the full blouse
front of silk. Deep cuffs Of the studded
gray cloth on the silk sleeves are laced
up to the elbow with hanging spiked
ends Of steel. The silk skirt has eight
large loose kilt pleats forming its from
and sides, with three straight bach
breadths gathered at the top, and the
studded cloth is used as wide border
at the foot of the front and up each side

John PooIey,s Sad End.

Concerning the death of John Pooley, shipping clerk at Manning & Bowman's, Meriden, and popular member of the Meriden Wheel club, who was struck by the engine of a freight train near the Con solidated depot in Meriden at 1O:45 Mon day night and badly mangled, dying in a few moments, the Meriden Republican yes terday afternoon says: ''It is not believed the engine passed over him, but after he was struck on the head he must have kicked until his legs came under the car wheels.
 Louis Moses, his companion, had jumped on the pilot of the locomotive, and he was hanging like grim death to the flag pole. He was cut oyer the right eye, but the wound was only slight one, yet how it happened he was unable to state. He was so dazed at the time that he could remem- Der very little of the accident He was able to walk to Dr. Wilson's office, while the body of John Pooley was placed on the stretcher and taken into the baggage room.
 It was new set of men that ran the freight train Monday night, an accident in which the cars became separated near North Haven Sunday night causing the old hands to be laid off by the railroad com pany. It was what is generally known as Engineer Webber's train, but that faithful pilot was not at his usual post of duty Monday night. Instead Thomas Kenner was at the helm of the engine, Daniel Lin coin was conductor, and the brakeman, who picked up young Pooley, was George E. McMillen. Medical Examiner Wilson took some notes and then allowed the train to proceed to New Haven.

rHEIR ANNUAL OUTING.

The Children of the Orphan Asylum
 Enjoy Their Excursion on the Elm
 City-A Day of Pleasure to the Lit-
 tie Ones In Spite Of the Rain.
 The children of the New Haven orphan asylum enjoyed yesterday the annual ex- cursion which is given them by the New Haven Steamboat company. There were on board the Elm City fully 700; not all orphans, however. There were 115 chil- dren from the asylum and about fifteen from the hospital who enjoyed theday, some in their rolling chairs, others on crutches. It is customary every year to extend an invitation to the hospital children. The rest of the crowd was made up of friends of the children and those whom the com mittee had invited, many of whom do not have an abundance of holidays. The boat left at 9:3O am. and sailed about twenty six miles to the eastward before her bow was headed homeward. No landing was made anywhere. The event that the chil- dren looked forward to with much expecta | ton was the big dinner that the committee | of ladies was so busy making ready for several hours. Five long tables had been spread on the lower deck, and these fairly groaned under the weight of good things that had been piled upon them. ] When all were assembled around them General E. s. Brady gave few words oi ] welcome to the children and spoke in be ! half of Captain Richard Peck, who could not be present. The general expressed simply and very appropriately the pleasure
 cursions and he also brought Captain | Tucker forward and explained to then
 that he was the captain of the boat, but
 he couldn't make Captain Tucker give the
 boys a. speech. The children gave three
 rousing cheers for both Captain Peck ant
 Captain Tucker.
 Mess1s. John G. North, HI .Andrus ant
 F. B. Richards also made a few remarks After the children sang their whistlins
 song, which had been prepared for the oc
 ccsion, they were ready and fell to the din

 seemed to be great portion of the day
 pleasure, yet there was not single mo ment which was not utilized profitably fo a good time, and fortunate it was, too
 that when the Elm City returned to he
 dock about 3:3O o'clock not an acciden had happened. Though it rained littl
 and caused an earlier return home thai had been intended, yet the rain was no , minded very much. The ladies who ha' the children in charge were assiste materially all day long by the kindness o , the officers and men on the boat.

NEW ICE HOUSES.

Work of the New Haven Ice Conn
 Pany-Looking Forward.
 The New Haven Ice company has begun the work of leveling the ground upon which it's large new additional ice house on the shore of Lake Whitney will be erected The spot is part of the property formerly belonging to the Benham estate and is just this side of the covered bridge. The new ice house will be constructed to hold 15,- 900 tons of ice and will be used as an addi- tion to the houses now in use by the com pany. The building will be erected back from the road and will be so concealed by the foliage of the trees about it that it will be hardly visible from the road. It will be built upon the level ground near the edge of the lake.
 This move of the ice company does not seem to signify that they have given up hope of making money out of native ice. The president of the company stated to COURIER man that he was not at all alarmed over the new developments in the ice business We have no fear, said he, of any competition from manufactured ice. There is not 8 winter like the last once in twenty or thirty years. We do not fear but that we can store all the ice next win ter and for many winters to come before we will again experience 50 open a winter again; and, besides, he continued, there is no manufactured ice which can compare with the natural article, such as obtained on sheets of water like Whitney and Salton- stall. Itis not so pure andisnot so desirable to deal in because of many peculiarities. As for the money made this year, we of course were not in it, as the saying it has been with all dealers in natural ice, unless they imported the article from the north. We do not anticipate another sea son, however, for many years to come when we cannot exhibit a creditable amount of profits.

Waller and Summer.

A Hartford dispatch in the New York Times yesterday, says: Ex-Congressman George M. Landers does not believe that Colonel Stevenson's chances would be hurt by the Consolidated road if he should be nominated. In regard to the selection of the Hon. Luzon B. Morris of New Haven as the democratic standard bearer this fall, MT. Landers was not exceptionally hope ful. ''He is one of the best of men," said the ex-congressman, ''but he would not awaken enthusiasm" ''He would not be like ex-Lieutenant Governor Sumner" added MT. Landers ill a reflective mood Sumner posses the traits of Tom Sey- mour, and everybody likes him in the state" The drift of MT. Landers's talk indicates the political trend at present in the democratic party. There is a daily in- creasing conviction that ticket headed by Waller Sumner would sweep the state clear of republican control.
