LACE and net effects appear frequently in
brocade designs.
MORE is used in combination with cloth
for visiting gowns.
CoRNFLowER blue felt shapes are trimmed
with black velvet.
SLEEVES of plain cloth in a gown of shaggy
plaid goods are novel.
A NOVEL design in bengaline shows music
scrolls among flowers.
SILVER fish scale design on q white satin
ground is rich and effective.
SPANGLEs in all shades and jet are the pre-
vailing features in millinery.
PEARL beaded passementeries are very
handsome for evening bonnets.
FANCY serges woven in various stripes, are
the leading novelties in dress materials
AMONG the new designs in brocades is q
medallion of blossoms encircled by waving
ribbons.
waist and girdle are now seen on misses as
young as II years.
FIGURED bengalines in self colored designs
are among the most fashionable materials
for evening wear.
CoLoRED jet sounds anomalous, but it is a
natural sequence of the immense popularity
of the black article.
A CAPE of black velvet with bow of cocque
or ostrich feathers is one of the most elab-
crate of recent wraps.
Gowns of brocade in the novel curling
ostrich feather patterns are appropriately
trimmed with feather bands.
LITTLE of the new burnt orange shade in
surah is judiciously used to enliven a young
girls gown of dark brown cashmere.
A CLosE-FIrrING coat, with velvet cavalier
cape hanging from the shoulders in the
back, makes very stylish appearance.
THE present fancy for puffed and fancy
waists is an especially becoming one to
forms not exactly of divine proportions.
Iris predicted that the ostrich plume
which is at present almost completely out of
use, will soon resume the favor it held up to
this season.
NEW garniture for cloth gowns is Of rich
brocaded plush, the designs being outlined
with tinsel. The material is very handsome,
as the plush is of unusually deep pile.
VERY graceful are the flowing ribbon de-
signs seen in the new brocades, but their
beauty requires an unbroken length such as
is afforded by a sweeping train for its ade-
quate display.

A REMINIsCENCE OF MRS. NOON.
MRS. MAILLARD's TALE.
She Tells How She Met, Loved and Eloped
With Hired Man Ingram.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.-[Special. i
There are new complications in the scandal
caused by the elopement of Mrs. Joseph
Maillard, of San Anselmo, with her hus-
bands hired man, Ingram. The Rev. J..
NJ. Smith, of Eureka, where Mrs. Maillard
is now living in woodcutter's rude cabin,
has arrived here. He comes with propo-
sition from the wife that she will leave
Ingram if her husband will give her 5000
of her separate estate, which she loaned
him some time ago. To the clergyman she
told of her love for the hired man. She
took long walks to reduce her flesh, and it
was on these tramps she met Ingram and
had talks with him.
One day she dropped her handkerchief
and both stopped to pick it up. As their
heads touched Ingram looked into her eyes
and in moment had clasped her around the
waist and their lips met in kiss. Mrs.
Maillard confessed frankly she had never
loved her husband, and that she would be
glad when he secured a divorce. Public
sympathy is with the Maillards in their
trouble. They come of an old French
stock, and Joseph Maillard's mother is a
sister of Julia Ward Howe. Why woman
like Mrs. Maillard should leave her beauti-
full home and two pretty children because of
her infatuation for the poor farm hand is
something no one has been able to explain.
She says if Ingram deserts her she will kill
herself

He Is Accused With Attempting to Blow
Up Court House With Dynamite.
WASHINGTON, IND, Oct. 16.-The al
legged shortage of County Auditor Lavalle,
and the burning of the county records, are
still the subject of much talk. Nobody
knows or can give any idea as to the amount
of the shortage Experts have been examin-
ihg such of the records as were not
DESTROYED, and enough testimony, it
is said, was found to show that
Lavalle had been very free with the school
fund. There ought to be S97, 900 repre-
sented by mortgages on property twice its
value Two thousand dollars in cash is left
of the fund in the TreaSurer's office, but
$685. 900 is not accounted for to the satisfac-
tion of the examiners. Some of the incum-
brances have been paid to Lavalle and are
not released on the records. Heavy sums
it is said, have been traced directly to La
vale himself 1t is doubtful if all the facts
Will ever be known.
At the freight depot a wooden box
shipped by express to James c. Lavalle,
Washington, Ind, from Chicago, was
opened and found to contain a dynamite
cartridge inches long and inches in
diameter. 1t was loaded and a fuse at
tached all ready for use. The box was re-
ceived here since the FIRE Lavalle, it is
said, first intended to blow up the Court
House records and all, and Harbin
and Ledgerwood say such was the
case. The cartridge, however, did
not get here in time, and oil was
used in its stead. Lavalle refused to re-
ceipt for the box when it came, claiming
that it was an internal machine sent by
personal and political enemies intended for
his destruction. He claims that he is the
victim of plot. The man who shipped the
dynamite cartridge to Lavalle says he sent

YESTERDAYS NEWS IN COUNTY COURTS

The arguments for new trial in the case
Of Lucy r. Fitzsimmons, convicted of mur-
der in the second degree forcomplicity in
the killing of Detective Gilkinson, was
heard by Judge Ewing yesterday, Messrs.
Marshall and Challinor in favor of the mo-
tion and District Attorney Burleigh and
John S Robb against it. In answer to the
argument Judge Ewing said that he went
into the trial believing that the Common
wealth was wrong, but the evidence satisfied
him that it was right and justified a second
degree verdict. The Court held that Mrs.
Fitzsimmons was very smart woman, but
was unfortunate in many respects, and the
Courts sympashies were with her, but
there was no doubt that she knew her hus-
bands business. The Court then took the
papers.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons was in court during the
argument dressed in black, and when Judge
Ewing referred to her as being an unfortu-
nate woman, she shook her head mournfully

RUMoRS OF A SUICIDE.
The Victim Is Said to Be Young Girl Who
Robbed Schoolmate.

SOUTHAMPTON, MASS, Oct. 16.-Miss
Laura S. Presbrey, one of the wealthiest
and brightest students of Smith College,
was detected in the act of robbing one of
her college mates Wednesday, and now has
disappeared under circumstances that point
to suicide
For some time the students had been
missing small sums, and ON Monday the
girl was detected taking money from the
pocketbook of a classmate. She was sum-
moned before the President, and finally
broke down and acknowledged the theft.
She said she did not know why she did it,
as she had plenty of money of her own and
her father never stinted her in anything.
She was requested TO meet the President
that afternoon at 5 o'clock, whep it was
supposed her father would be on hand, but
when he came she had disappeared. In her
room was found a note, addressed to her
father, saying she could not live through
her disgrace, and intimating that she would
commit suicide
