of expense as well as beauty in the fashion
able woman's wardrobe, but the hosts of
little things that dainty woman considers
necessary for the completion of her toilette.
A girl buys ball gown and after its second
wearing she feels it incumbent upon her to
change it in some way So she hies herself
to some shop where fancy fixings in chiffon
and lace are to be found and invests $40 or
S12 in decidedly picturesque drapery with
decolette neck. By the way, chiffon seems
to be coming more prominently to the fore
since the modiste have taken to doubling it,
which prevents the himsiness which was so
much against.it when it first came out.
The hair serves as an excuse for the buy
ing of all sorts of pretty things for its
sdornment, among which cornets, either in
plain silver or gold or set with precious
stones, are the most regal and expensive.
Small gold pins, daggers and tortoise-shell
bandeaux are much in favor. The hve-cent
package of hair-pins which served our
mothers in the arranging of their coifures
is now quite discarded in favor of tortoise
she'll sets that are as fragile as they are ex-
pensive.
The fashion that SAYS slippers and stock
ings must match the evening gowns, means
an expenditure undreampt of by the woman
who considered black satin slippers and
silk stockings the height of elegance to be
worn with any costume. The slippers of
to-day are daintier than they have been in
years Suede, which was for time so
popular, has now given place to satin In
delicate tints, ornamented either with rib
bon rosettes or fine embroidery of tiny
beads.

AN OIL PROPERTY DECISION.
Reservation of Products Beneath the Sur.
face Holds Good.

lace Holds Good.
HUNTINGTON, w. VA, Dec. 30.-rSps-
eidl. 1-Oil men in this State and in West
ern Pennsylvania are greatly interested in
the decision rendered by Judge Jacobs,
of the West Virginia Circuit Court,
In the case Of Graham versus Shay. In
1865 P. w. Stocking sold 40 acres
lying east of Sistersville to Rawlev Moore,
reserv1ng an undivided one-half of all the
oil and minerals underlying the tract sold.
The reservation was rated no incumbrance
on the land which was sold by Moore, pass
ing through the hands of several purchasers
and now owned by George Graham, j. 8.
Woods, Robert Warner, o. S. Thistle and
the CramIet heirs. The Stocking heirs
leased the oil right reserved in Moore's
deed to j. W. Shay. He began operations
on the Graham farm, and Graham brought
suit in ejectment to clear him and his out
fit off the territory.
The decision handed down BY Judge
Jacobs holds that the reservation is good;
that it was not necessary to have paid taxes
on the oil until 1891; that the oil is realty,
and that the Stocking estate is entitled to
one-half of the oil; furthermore, that their
rights had not been impaired, much less
lost, by the adverse possession of the
parties owning the surface for so many
years. There are now IL producing wells
on the 140-acre tract in question and two
more wells are being drilled in, so that the
and is very valuable.

A BURGLAR TRAPPED.

The Owner of Stolen Goods Finds Them

NEW CASTLE, Dec. 30.-[SpeciG- Rob
berries in Lawrence county still continue,
and it now looks as if an organized ganl
had taken possession of the county. In ad
dition to the five robberies by masked me
already reported, there was another last
night. This time the residence of John
Pond, near Volant, was visited. Mr.. Pond
and his wife were in the yard, when some
one entered the house and stole satchel
containing some clothing, an overcoat and
a purse containing $50.
Shortly after Mr. Pond missed the satchel
and, after instituting a search, found the
missing articles in fence corner. By this
he concluded that the robbers or robber
would return, and he laid in wait. About
9 o'clock Mr.. Pond saw man approach
where the articles were secreted, and with
out warning opened fire upon him. At the
first shot the man fell, bnt quickly got up
and made his escape. Blood spots were
found where the unknown fell

sueae the Most Fashionable Glove.

The fashionable and most universally
worn gloves are the suede. though there is
said to be an attempt in Paris to bring the
glace in again. With its absorbent sur
face, it is much more like the quality OF the
hand than the glazed kid, and for this
reason is more agreeable to the eye. Both
day and evening gloves are suede by pref
erence.
Gloves for the day wear are four buttoned,
with large metal or bone buttons fastened
securely on with eyelet and swivel, tape
running through the buttons They are
made of the thicker suade skins, with Tapped
seams, and called fchevrette" gloves, this
being the French word for doe and signify
ing that the gloves are made Of the older
skins.
Another durable street glove is made of
Russia sheep or fine calf, glace outside, in
reddish tan shades, with welted stitching IN
the back, with four large gilt buttons, and
scented like other Russian leather. There
is also glace waterproof glove, said to be
so dressed that it will stand rain.
Evening and all fine dress gloves are
made mousquetaire. A long glove cannot
well be buttoned along the arm.

HELD BACK BY HOMESTEAD.

The Criminal Docket Would Be Clear Were
1t Not for the Riot Cases-Disposing of
an Average of 16 Cases Per Day.
The Criminal Court yesterday adjourned
jury trials until Tuesday. District Attor-
ney Burleigh has been making the fur fly
this term. and up to yesterday had drawn
some distance ahead of his excellent record
of last term. He has already disposed of
$40 cases, or over 16 per day, and in doing
so has caught up with the work left By the
grand jury to be done. 1t has been ordered
back for January to provide more bills of
indictment.
Were it not for the Homestead
cases, Mr.. Burleigh said, he
would be able to clear the calendar for the
present term by the end of next month.
This would save the county for February
$3.50 day for jurors, outside of the large
amount of costs which the county has to
pay in months time.
A large number OF cases were disposed of
yesterday.
d. w. Pollock, the insurance agent who
was convicted two days ago of false pre-
tense, was sent to the workhouse for year.
George Penrod was convicted of stealing
an overcoat from Frank Wolferd, of Brad
dock, and sent to the penitentiAry for
18 months.
John R. Comstock, of Lawrenceyille;
George Fink, of Allegheny; Andrew Martle
and Conrad Weigh, OF Boston, Pa, were
convicted of illegal liquor selling and fined
$500 and sent to the workhouse Tor 80 DAYS.
Katie Reynolds was sent to Jail for thirty
days for stealing lot OF wearing apparel
from Elizabeth Smith, of West Elizabeth.

swearing falsely before Alderman Bleich-
ner, of the Southside, in the Schneider

CHALFANT REFUSED.

A Court Officer Declines to Pay Thirty Dol
lars Alimony and Is Promptly Put In
Jail-Criminal Docket Is Clear With the
Exception of Riot Cases.
A court officer was given the experience
yesterday of having the Court send him to
the county Jail Joseph B. ChaIfant, tip
staff of Common Pleas Court No. 2, was be-
fore Judge Stowe in the Criminal Court on a
charge of desertion preferred by his wife.
Chalfant is large man and his wife is a
handsome young woman. They live on Mt
Washington.
Mrs. Chalfant's story was to the effect
that her husband beat and abused her, and
finally, when she could stand his cruelty no
longer, she left him. She then sued to
compel him to support her Chalfant de-
MED his wife's charges, and said that she
left him without cause.
Judge Stowe made an order directing
Chalfant to pay his wife $50 month and
give bond in the sum of $500, conditioned
to pay. Chalfant remarked that he would
not pay it, and he was at once committed to
jail to remain there until the order of Court
is complied with.

SUIT FOR $4,000.

The Arbuthnot Estate Claims Heavy Dam
ages From a Contractor.
The estate of Charles Arbuthnot yester-
day entered suit against William Kerr's
Sons, contractors, for $4,000 damages. 1t
is stated that in August, 1892, the late Mr..
Arbuthnot contracted with the defendants
to have them take down the east wall of the
building at Nos. 719 and 721 Liberty street
and shape up the building so that it could
be rebuilt, etc. The contract price was
$4,000.
The defendants, it is asserted, did not do
the work properly, and as a consequence
in October the Building Inspector ordered
the building to be torn down. They were
compelled to do this, and they place the
damages at $50, 900, for which it is asserted
the defendants are responsible.

''NOw.. sir, Jump in, sir, or you'll be left
behind"
And, as he spoke, the guard opened the
door of irst-class carriage with an imper-
ative gesture to the young man who stood
before it.
"But nv ticket is third class" said the
young man.
Never mind, sir, no time to wait now.
Jump in"
The young man hesitated a moment-it
seemed as if something of hesitation and
irresolution were inherent in his nature
then he entered the carriage: the door was
slammed behind him; whistle blew; and
the train began to drag its numbering
length along the platform.
1t was night, and the carriage was SO
dimly lighted by the oil lamp in the roof
that for the first momeng the young man
fsncied he was alone. 1t was, however,
only for 8 moment; then his eyes, growing
accustomed to the dimness, discerned the
figure of a female occupying a seat at the
other end of the carriage This person was
dressed in black, and dark veil concealed
her face, so that he could not wonder that
he lad not noticed her at first Indeed,
even now she showed only as a duskv mass,
the precise outline of which it was hard to
distinguish against the dark-blue lining of
the carriage which formed the background
behind her. 1t was impossible for him to
make out whether she were old or Young,
handsome or ugly. But an indefnable
something-perhaps it was nothing more
than an unconscious inference drawn from
the fact that she was travelling in first
class carrisge-seemed to tell him that she
was lady.
He himself was, perhaps, not quite a
gentleman. He was not badly dressed, nor
ill-mannered, but mis- dress lacked elegance,
nor had his manner that unconscious ease
oh springs from the sense of an unchal-
social superiority. On the other

Matters Likely to lie Disposed of in Con-
gress During the Week.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-The Chinese
restriction bill will occupy the senate
during the early part of the week. At
ter this matter shall have been disposed
of there is a resolution to come up in
relation to the suspended appropriation
OF $1,000, 900 or 81, voc, 900 OF the Choc-
taw and Chickasaw lands (held up by
the president and secretary Of the inter-
Tor, by alleged excessive claims agents
fees exacted.) This is liable to evoke
discussion, but little else. The solitary
appropriation bill awaiting the senate's
action is the army bill, which will be
called up by Mr.. Stewart.
There are $50 bills on the senate cal
endar unopposed, which are liable to be
called up for action under the five mln-
ute rule. Thirty-three of these have
already passed the house.
The remainder of the week will prob
ably be devoted to consideration of the
consular ana diplomatic appropriation
bill. In the event Of that measure he.
ing disposed of before Saturday, con-
sideration Of the p~ostottice %appropria.
ton bill will follow.
The subcommittee of the house com.
niittee on agriculture has about COM
pleted the agricultural appropriation
bill and it may be presented to the full
committee on Wednesday next and
probably reported to the house on the
same day.
