EXPLOSION AT ANT
WERP

It Took Place in Front Of the Residence OF
the Public Prosecutor.
Great excitement was occasioned throughout
the city Of Antwerp yesterday by an explosion
that occurred in front Of the residence Of the
public prosecutor. The force Of the explosion
was very great and all the windows in the
house Of the public prosecutor and Other
houses in the vicinity we're smashed to atoms.
Most fortunately, the nei2hborhood was com.
paratively deserted at the time and not O
single person was injured.
Gendarmes were promptly on the scene and
instituted an investigation to learn what had
caused the explosion. 1t was concluded that
the outrage WAS the work Of some criminal who
had n grudge against the public prosecutor and
who had resorted to dynamite as a means to
crafty his desire for revenge.
1t is claimed by some persons, however. that
the explosion was caused by anarchists
1t is not believed by the police that anar.
chists had anything to do with the outrage.
There is no clue to the perpetrator Of the
crime.

The founce is going to be the regent of dress
this summer. There is no doubt about that.
But the founce is not omnipresent, nor can il
be in this strange, seething. uncertain kingdom
of dress. Gallons we have always with US,
laces are az foam on the sea, GAUGES as the
clouds OF heaven, and SO many other garnitures
in satin, silks. pufangs and pipings that, as Mr..
Silas Wagg would say, one ought to drop into
poetry to do them justice.
For many moons ribbons have tied them
selves into this subject and wound about
every phase Of it, from neckband to slipper toe.
At first they were long ends fastened TO girtiles
or shoulders. and they maintained themselves
in one sober color. blending usually with the
hue Of the gown. Then they wnxed holder and
Haunted as sashes and belts in brilliant red and
purple aud green velvet. Then they meta
morphosed into shaded, changeable and striped
plaided yokes and ruchings Now we have
them in wearisome repetition about the skirts
Of grand mondaines and every other woman
down to the last rung of the social ladder, and
again we have them in darby brilliant hues as
dresses of the best dressed women in the me-
tropolis. And here, if you are wise, you will
limit your ribbon fancies for the present-you
will put in the punctuation points.
Coquettish bits of plaided colors, tucked into
the seams. dropped upon the corsage or scat
tereQ over the faces on tue OuS., are euuleb6ly
interesting. Big choux Of rich velvet at the
bottom Of each skirt gore are emphatic remind
ers Of the fullness thereof; and chiefest Of all,
tiny bows which seem to serve Q purpose in
some vague way convince man that there IL
nothing sweeter than woman's tact in dispos-
ing of necessities.
There are not many hundreds Of such gowns
in New York this rare June day; but in Sep
tender, when the butterflies flock home from
summer flights, they will be duplicated by the
dozen Of dozens.
Against that day let me offer model frock.
1t has gone away but day since II reposed in
state in q couturiere's show room.
1t was Of biege foulard. dotted all over with
big blue flowers. Two V-shaped bands Of lace
we're let in the skirt, while the hem was covered
only by narrow ruche OF mauve velvet rib
bon. At each of the seven cores was knot Of
ribbon Tho corsage was silk muslin with
plastron and bertha Of lace. At the velvet belt
was a smaller knot. ut the shoulder another and
midway on the bodice for oddity Of effect a
third. The sleeves were elbow puffs, the hat a
leghorn with biege and mauve bows aloft.

YELLOwsTONE PARK LEASES.
A Contest Between Rival Interests to Con-
duct Transportation Decided.

A Contest Between Rival Interests to Con-
duct Transportation Decided.
Assistant Secretary Sims of the Interior De-
partment has decided the contest between rival
interests in Montana for the right to conduct
transportation in the Yellowstone National
Park. Licenses to transport passengers through
the park will be granted to W. S. Dickson of
Livingstone. Mont; T. F. johnson of Bozeman,
A. Lycan Of Bozeman and A. W. Chadbourne
of Livingstone, the permits and rates of fare to
be subject to the approval Of the department..
Authority is also granted to W. W. Wylie to
conduct camping transportation business.
II is considered to be to the best interests Of
the public that the Yellowstone National Park
Transportation Company have at the present
time the sole lease and license for carrying pas
sengers through the park coming in from the
direction of the Northern Pacific railroad at
Mammoth Hot Springs; that lease, however,
be granted to George W. Wakefield of Boze-
man. Mont. to draw traffic from the Union
Pacific Railroad Company over the Beaver
canon route, provided that if the increase of
travel from the Northern Pacific warrants it,
the department. the assistant secretary saws,
may find it wise and to the benefit Of the pub
lie to extend the lease to Wakefield or to other
parties for traffic from that direction also.
The agreement Of August, 1890, with the yell
lowstone Park Association for a lease of the
Fountain Geyser Hotel site is to be carried out,
but their request for transportation privileges
in connection Herewith is denied. The hotel
company. however, is to be protected from i'm
position by the Yellowstone Park National
Transportation Company.
The application of F. c. Waters. representing
the National Park Hotel Company, for leases of
sites on which to erect hotels is denied, but the
department will entertain applications for a
proper lease Of these sites by persons present.
ing sufficient guarantee as to capital and ability
to construct and maintain a hotel upon like
conditions as those granted to the Yellowstone
Park Association.
The application of David B. May for leave to
constructs an elevator near the Grand Falls is
not granted pending further investigation az to
its effects upon the beauty of the natural
scenery at that place.
In regard to the superintendent Of the re-
pairs and construction OF roads in the park, the
matter will be referred to the President for
action by Congress. Like action will be taken
in regard to Barronett bridge. As to the policy
Of the department with reference to the con-
struction of railroads through the park. no
action is taken, innsmuch as no applications for
this authority are now pending in the depart
ment.

BRAVE HELEN PATCHELL.
She Saves Three Children's Lives at the
Risk of Her Own.


Risk of Her Own.
Miss Helen Patchell. the fourteen-year-old
daughter of Charles W. Patched, q well-known
citizen of Darby, Pa. proved herself heroine
Sunday. Alighting from the noon train at
Boone station, on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, Miss Patched paused to allow q Royal
Blue express train to pass on the opposite track.
She held by the hand the fve-year-old son Of
Edward Kirkpatrick, Mr.. Patchell's partner.
As the train Numbered through the tunnel
and swept under . bridge. less than a hundred
Yards away. she saw her own baby brother and
sister run down the patch to meet her and step
on the track in the face OF the approaching
train An instant's delay meant death to both.
II she attempted to rescue them she herself and
the little boy might be ground under the
engine.
The engine whistle shrieked and the heavy
train rushed on. The great wheels, pulling the
fastest train on the road, were counting OF
seventy miles an hour.
While the neighbors rushed to their doors,
alarmed BY the whistle, and stood horror
stricken, Miss Helen never hesitated, but
dragging the little boy across the tracks she
pushed her brother and sister from the rails
upon the platform and scrambled up herself
with the boy.
The engine dashed by, sweeping aside the
dress of the brave girl, and the suction Of the
train drew her almost under the wheels.
So close was the escape Of the little party
that the mother Of the girl, who was a witness
of the episode, and the servants In the lawn
turned away their heads, thinking that al
would be ground to pieces by the engine.

DESPERATE CASE OF LOVE.
A Youth Tries 10 Kill His Sweetheart and
Himself.

Himself.
The attempt Of love-sick Philadelphia youth
to kill his sweetheart and himself created a
sensation in the upper portion Of the city yes
terday afternoon. John Smith, aged eighteen
years, and Emily Ebert, three years younger
live in adjoining houses on Fox street. Emily's
father is . widower. and she keeps house for
him. John lives with his parents. The young
couple have been sweethearts for a long time
and some weeks ago the young man persuaded
the girl to promise to become his wife, July
being the date agreed upon for the ceremony.
Emily's father learned Of the engagement
and, after lecture on the folly of early mar
rage. persuaded her to break ii. John was
nearly frantic when told by the girl that she
could not marry him He continued to pay
his addresses to her. but for the past few days
has acted like demented person.
Yesterday afternoon he secured admission to
EmiIy's home. and, stealing upstairs. secreted
himself in q darkened room at the head Of the
second-story stairs When Emily, who was
alone in the house, went up stairs, Young Smith
sprang from his hiding place aud, leveling a
revolver at her head, pulled the trigger. For
tunately the cartridge failed to explode. but
the girl, frightened at the sudden appearance
of her lover, fell over backward and tumbled
to the bottom Of the stairs
Smith rushed into his own home, his father
discovering him just as he was about to put an
end to his own life. The father grappled with
the frantic youth, and a terrible struggle en-
sued, during which the revolver was fired four
times. One bullet ripped the young mans
trousers from the knee to the bottom, another
went through the front window over the heads
Of a crowd that had collected outside and two
crashed harmlessly through the floor.
A policeman. attracted by the noise, appeared
at this juncture, and after q hard fight sue
ceeded in arresting the would-be suicide, who
meditates in prison cell Emily's body
bears several painful bruises as the result
of her tumble down stairs and the elder Smith
had badly cut mouth. where his son struck
HIM with the revolver. The neighbors say
young Smith was so infatuated with Emily that
he could neither eat, sleep nor work.
