WELL DRESSED FOR FIVE MINUTE:

WELL DRESSED FOR FIVE MINUTES.
1t was queer young woman that the
shop girls are talking of in one of the
Brooklyn shopping stores. She was
neatly but not richly dressed, and she
came with two or three other young
women. She looked over the most ell
egunt dresses that were on sale, and in
sisted upon seeing "the most expensive
evening dress" of the lot She paIticu-
larly wanted it cut as low in the bodice
as any that are worn. The only gar
ment OF the kind that was in stock was
gorgeous light purple silk, e1quisitely
trimmed with velvet ribbon. 1t was
somewhat too large, and the sales
woman insisted that it was no use to
try it on but the young girl was equal
ly determined to see how it looked on
her. AT last she was taken to what is
called the evening room, with its doz-
ems of electric lights and its walls of
plate mirror glass, and there she put on
the splendid 5000 robe and called in the
saleswomau and the women who had
come with her. The dress was too
loose and too long, but the girl had a
pretty neck and shapely arms, and evil
IDENTIFY admired them as much as she
did the gown, while she turned around
and around and scrutinized her ap-
pearance in the mirrors. Finally she
regretted that the dress could not be al
tered within few hours, though she had
been 80 informed before she had put it
on, end said she was sorry, but she
would have to look elsewhere. As she
was leaving the store one of the sales
women heard her say "There, now, |
am satisfied to be married tomorrow
and bury myself in the country: 1t was
my last chance in this life to be really
dressed up. Now am satisfied, though

Dreadful Railroad Accident.

MANTENo, Ills, Sept. 19.-At $50
last night the second section of Big
Four passenger train crashed into the
rear of the first section, that had stop
ped to take water ten miles north of
Kankakee, telescoping one sleeper and
two coaches, killing nine people and
seriously injuring large number. 1t
is said that no fagman was sent back
to flag the second section. 1t is
straight track for two or three miles
and engineer of the section could not
have failed to have seen hagman.
On the other hand it is said the engi-
neer of the second train was asleep and
that the fireman was throwing coal
into the fire box. There was an empty
sleeper on the rear end of the first
train. The car ahead of it contained
some forty or fifty passengers. The
second section of the train crashed into
the empty sleeper, driving it forward
through the day coach and moving the
passengers down as if hit with huge
scythe. Many of the passengers had
fallen asleey and they were killed out
right. The empty sleeper went through
the roof of the day coach and it did not
stop until it had completely telescoped
the car from end to end. The wreck
was the worst that has occurred on the
Illinois Central system for twenty
years. Several of the injured are be-
yond recovery and it is probable that
the list of fatalities will be swelled to
IA. Several of the unknown dead are
prominent men of Cincinnati and adj
joining cities in Indiana, Kentucky and
Ohio.

From Brazil.

A dispatch received at Paris from
Rio Janeiro yesterday evening by the
Brazilian legation says that the insur-
gent fleet resumed the bombardment
of the city yesterday at noon. Heavy
firing was continued for several hours.
No details of the bombardment have
been received at Paris from any source.
The question of the situation at Rio
Janeiro came up in the British House
of Commons yesterday. In responding
to questions asked on the subject. Sir
Edward Grey, parliamentary secretary
of the foreign Office, said the British
warships Sirius and Beagle are now at
Rio Janeiro protecting the life and
property of British subjects. Warships
of the United States, France, Germany,
Italy, and Portugal were also on the
spot. Sir Edward further said that on
Saturday the commanders Of tbs neu-
trail warships endeavored to prevent
the bombardment by the fleet of the
revolutionists.
The bombardment Of the city yester-
day lasted three hours. The forts re-
piled with great effect. The steel cruis-
er Republic, the fastest of the Brazilian
naval vessels, forced q passage across
the bar Sunday night, and after a Sc
we're fight with the forts got away to
the south. She is supposed to have
started to Santos for the purpose of
blockading the port. Immediately af-
ter the bombardment the Aquidaban,
with the rest of the insurgent feet,
sailed southwark. The fleet is expect
ed to blockade shortly all the ports
south of Rio de Janeiro.
A dispatch from Montevideo, Uru-
quay, says: 1t is not yet known here
whether Rio Janeiro has been taken by
the naval revolters or whether their
bombardment of the capital has ceased.
All correspondence with Brazil has
now been cut off by the postal authori-
ties. Passengers who reached here
from Rio say that when they left the
city was in state approaching panic
