COMMUNICATED.

No SEAT, No TIcKET.-The train
scheduled to leave Washington at 1905
last night was run in two sections, one
at that hour and the other at lilo.
Fully eight hundred persons were kept
in the cars for more than an hour, al
though assured that the second section
would follow the first promptly. Many
Of the passengers were indignant at the
entirely unnecessary delay. But pas
sengers on this road seem to have no
rights that the railroad authorities re-
spect. Men, women and children,
white and black, occupied the arm
rests, aisles, platforms and every bit of
space except the cowcatcher. Several
passengers refused to give up their
tickets, not being able to procure q
seat, which, however, was no fault of
the conductor, nor was the delay in the
starting of the train, which was direct
ly chargeable to the railroad officials of
the Washington and Alexandra branch
of the Pennsylvania system. The last
train reached this city at 1920. A
rough estimate indicates that fully 1000
persons from Alexandria were in WASH
ington last night. The parade, how
ever, was a farce. ALEXANDRIA.

Strange Deaths.

PIrTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 3O.-Two OF
the strangest cases that have occupied
the attention of the coroner for long
time were reported to that official
yesterday. One was the accidental
hanging of the one-year-old daughter OF
Edgar A. Holmes, supervising arcbi-
tect of the new Carnegie building, who
lives at Coraopolis. The infant was
momentarily left alone, sleeping in a
hammock. When Mrs. Holmes re-en-
tered the room the baby was in the
tbroes of death, the hammock rope
tangled tightly about its neck. The
child was dead before the family ply
stefan arrived.
The other case was that of the two
year-old daughter of Frederick Espey,
of Homestead. The child was literally
scared to death, but what caused its
fright is mystery. The baby was
climbing the stairway following Mrs.
Espey. When half way up the child
became terror-stricken. All efforts to
soothe the little one were futile and
death quickly followed the paroxysm.

The Kniehts of Pythias.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-Indianapo-
lis will be the place selected for the bi.
ennial encampment of the Knights Of
Pythiss in 1896. This has been prac.
tically decided on through the with
drawal of the other contestants-Bos-
ton and Minneapolis. In the parade on
Tuesday the Toronto division carried
British flag and this has been one OF
the principal topics of comment among
the Pythians from this side of the line.
Major General Carnahan, of the uni
form rank, says it was perfectly proper
for them to carry the British flag and
holds that it would have been just as
proper for the Canadians to have OBJ
jected when, at the encampment in
Toronto in 1886, all the divisions car
ried the United States flag.

Trouble in the Family.

The statement published in the New
York papers yesterday that Mrs. w. K.
Vanderbilt is about to begin separation
or divorce proceedings has not, it is al
legged, created surprise in circles where
the relations of the pair have been
known. That they have not lived har-
moniously the last two years has been
the gossip of fashionable circles for
some time. The crisis in their affairs,
according to the Commercial Advertiser,
of yesterday, was reached Immediately
after the running of the Grand Pri1 de
Paris, June II, of this year. "Mr. Van
derbiit," says the Aduertiser, "won
10000 francs on the race, and almost
Immediately after receiving his win
niogs was introduced to woman we'll
known for her beauty and numerous
following among the lights in swell
dem. This person was Nellie Neus-
tretter. She fascinated the millionaire,
and, as an evidence of his appreciation
of her company, he presented her with
the 10000 francs so openly that several
friends saw the unusual occurrence and
demonstrated with him.
1.-THE story of how he fitted up mag
nificent establishment for her in Paris
and subsequently gave her residence
at Deanville, with servants and every
luxury she desired, shocked and sur
prised the American residents of Paris,
but Mr.. Vanderbilt was so open in his
attention as to puzzle everybody. One
of the most surprising things he did
was to allow the servants of Nellie
Neustretter to wear the same livery as
that worn by Mrs. Vanderbilt's SER
wants. This fact has been noticed and
commented upon by every person who
saw her and her equipages in Paris and
Deanville."
The Vanderbilts, according to anoth-
er afternoon paper, have lived apart
since early last spring. Mrs. Wander.
bilt has spent the summer in England
at an extensive estate on the Thames,
near London, which had been rented
for her, while Mr.. Vanderbilt has spent
his time in Paris. 1t is alleged that
when some time ago tentative agree
ment of separation was reached MIR.
Vanderbilt agreed to settle upon his
wife S10,000,0O0.
In June last Cornelius Vanderbilt
went to London to interpose his siren
uous Offices to stop further and especial
ly public proceedings. but was unsuc-
cessful in restoring peace and returned
