= Water Party.

A letter from Bar Harbor says: Mrs.
Burton Harrison's water party at sea
Urchins," which was postponed from
last week on account of the dense log,
came off on Monday and the occasion
proved by far the most picturesqueiy
beautiful entertainment ever given at
the harbor. Between two and three
hundred invitations were issued and as
many of the guests arrived by water the
effect was artistic in the extreme.
Shortly atter4 o'clock innumerable tiny
craft emerged from various directions,
each decorated with gaily colored
cheese cloth and flowers and filed with
Gaintily robed maids whose toilets car
ried out the prevailing tint of their ca
noe. One ofthe most effective of these
was long white rowboat, decorated
with q canopy of oak and cedar boughs,
with great punches of scarlet and yell
low blossoms fastened at the PROV.
Twelve Of the steam barges Of the
war ships, gaily draped with bunting
and flying the national colors, bore the
officers of the squadron, headed by the
admiral's special transport, with the
Secretary of the Navy and Admiral
Gherardi in the stern. As the barge
! touched the pier the crowd all formed
in line and skirted the lawn in dou-
| bic flea Vcnice-like picture Of ANNA
! ton and color. When Secretary Tracy
stepped ashore the band stationed on
the green struck up the ''Star Spangled
! Banner" and after being welcomed by
his hostess the distinguished visitor
! was soon lost in the throng already as
sembled.
"Sea Urchins' was all thrown open
to the guests and deliberately decked
with flowers and ferns. Mrs. Dimmick,
sister of ex-Secretary Whitney, poured
tea in the drawing-room. She wore Il
handsome toilet of yellow aud black.
Miss Carey, of Baltimore, in a gown OF
pale green and black silk, dispensed
delicate cups Of chocolate from the op-
posite end of the table. Lemonade and
cake were served by colorcd walters.
The hostess wore Il tasteful gown OF
mauve crepe, with pretty French bon
net to match. She welcomed her
guests in the open air, standing on q
rich Persian rug, several Of which were
scattered beneath the rustic seats on
the front lawn. The good old Virginia
reel was later danced on the green.
Nothing was wanting to the perfect
success of the entertainment. Clear,
mild weather with frosts, q touch OF
October-like freshness in the air. The
translucent blue of the sky, flecked
with floating clouds Of misty white,
beautifully laid out grounds, an ele-
Sany appointed cottage s9c efp enyae
ing music and, beyond all and above
all, the deep-bluc waters of French
mans bay, with its environment Of
towering mountains, clothed to the
summit in soft mantle of living green
What more could mortals desire?

INCREASED SUFFRAGE in England, as
in this country, has increased official
patronage, and consequently has in
creased the number of applicants for
Office. And as the hankerings of all
the latter cannot be gratifed, the ad-
ministration naturally receives the most
pronounced censure of the many dis
appointed. Mr.. Gladstone, therefore,
is by no means as popular now as he
was befose he came into power. Off

Alta labor union meeting in New
York yesterday proposition was in
troduced for organizing al! such unions
into disciplined, armed and equipped
military companies, to be used in de-
Tending those engaged in labor riots
against attempts of local police and
State and national troops TO preserve
peace and order and to enforce the law.
This is not a new idea, but has been
talked of in labor organizations for sew
eral years past. Well, in a free and
equal country, where every man has the
right to vote and to carry arms, there
can certainly be no legal objection to
the arming of labor organizations, and
as in a country in which the majority
rules-except in Congress and in Presi-
dental elections-;f such armed organi-
cations compose force larger and more
efficient than that Of either the State
or nation, or both combined, the latter
must submit, and mob rule lie Installed
in the place of regularly constituted le-
gal authority. And such, it seems, will
be the legitimate effect of 'free institu-
tons"

An Exciting Scene.

Mrs. Coyle, wife of Alderman Frank
Coylc, of Harrison, n. j., went to the
new store of James Skinner & Son in
Newark, n. j., at six o'clock Friday
night, while hundreds of people were
passing, and found her husband, man
of about ffty-two years, talking to
SINNERS daughter, Mrs. Spierpoint, a
woman who is separated from her hus-
band. Mrs. Spierpoint has three child
rem and is prepossessing and dashing.
Mrs. Coyle, who was accompanied by
her brother-in-law, John Coyle, was
very excited. Rushing up to her hus-
band, who was seated on box, she
cried: GIVE caught you with your
lady love, have II"
Then she chased Mrs. Spierpoint into
the rear room, breaking all tho WIN
dows in the panels of the door. The
women then had 4 hair pulling and
face scratching match, at the end of
which Mrs. Spicrpoint seized Mrs.
Coyle's switch bang and held it rs a
trophy.
Coyle thought it was time for him to
interfere, so he pushed his wife into the
street, where hundreds of people were
gathered watching the disturbance.
Mrs. Coyle, when outside. shouted to
John Coyle, What did you promise
to do?" He ran into the store, seized
a soda water bottle and aimed at Mrs.
Spierpoint's head, but she lodged the
blow. Alderman Coyle and his broth
er then clinched and pummelled each
other until exhausted When they
were separated John said:
Crank, I'll kill you tonight" He
joined his sister-in-law and niece, and
they went to neighboring house to
wash their blood stains of.
Mrs. Spierpoint went to the door and
threw the bang which she had snatch
ed into the street.
Mrs. Coyle says that she had known
of her husband visiting Mrs. Spierpoint
for some months and had warned the
woman to have nothing to do with the
Alderman. She said that Coyle had
given the woman diamond errings, a
gold watch and chain and several
dresses, and that he had taken her out
for moonlight rides.
The SINNERS deny the whole story.
Coyle says he wasn't happy at home
although rich. He has four grown up
children. Skinner says he, not Coyle,
bought the presents for his daughter.
Coyle disappeared after the fracas.

THE GIRL IN JAIL.-Lucy Worle, the

prominent Hampton physician betray-
ed, was taken to Richmond Saturday
evening and was soon confined in the
city jail as a witness. She will be
taken to Hampton when the trial of the
physician occurs. The girl was carried
to Detroit by one of the sons of the
physician after q mock marriage had
been performed at Gates county. y. c.
Lucy says she was fourteen years cid
in April last. She is q bright girl, in
telligent, and tells her story glibly. She
is well developed for her age and is
quite attractive. special dispatch to

day, contained the names of the physi-
clan and the son, but they were not
published, inasmuch as the telegram

ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
MONDAY EVENING, AUG. %, 1892.

Ir Is popular belief that .. S. mar
shals and their deputies are officers OF
the law. whose duty, therefore, is to en-
force the law. not to break it and set 1t
ut defiance and incite and lead others
to do likewise. But it seems that
such a belief is not entertained III the
strong republican district of East Ten
nessec. where U. $. deputy marshal
led the rioters there in their recent
acts of murder and arson and pill
laee: nor, for that matter, by
the republican administration either,
which appoints such men to office.
And yet it is upon the testimony ofJust
such men that the law abiding people
of the South are convicted, in preju-
diced northern minds, of outrages upon
negroes and white republicans. 1t is
reported that the marshal referred to
has been lynched by the friends of some
of the men who were murdered either
by him or by those he led. If so, his
slayers could hardly be to blame, as law
is silent amid arms, and as he had as
sisted in bringing on that condition, and
as trial, when the law shall have re-
sumed its sway, by jury composed,
in all likelihood, of his followers, would
probably have acquitted him, and as
the utmost extent of the punishment
he would have received from the teder-
al government would have been his
"probablen removal from Office.
