PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY.

The 1OSth Session of the Church in the
United States Begins mt Saratoga, n. Y.
Liberals Elect the Moderator.
SARATOGA, N. Y, May 90. The 1OSth
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church in the United States opened it's
sessions here yesterday in the First
Presbyterian church with the usual
sermon from the retiring moderator
Nearly 700 commissioners, half minis
ters and half elders, were present
Upon the platform were seated those
who were to assist the moderator Rev.
DIR. Robert Booth, of New York, in the
service. The service began at Ii
o'clock. DR.. Booths sermon occupied
more than an hour in the delivery. He
chose for his theme christian Unity"
At 8 o'clock the general assembly
was formally opened by State Clerk
Roberts, Moderator Booth being in the
chair, and the business of the sessions
began.
Revs. Francis c. Monfort, of Cincin-
natl; David r. Breed, of Pittsburg, and
John S. Withrow. of New York, were
nominated for moderator and Withrow

farewell, sweet simplicity.
Mainly the object seems to be to min
gle upon frame of modest shape the
most incongruous and contradictory
colors. There will be pinks and blues
and llacs waving upon its narrow van-
tage for mastery of loudness. In such
n riot of tulip garden colors it is hard
tosuit taste for things transformations.
And besides all the jangle of discordant
tints there runs an undermotif of
green foliage and ferns, until window
show of hats suggests the gardens of
the Hesperides.
1t must have been by supreme hero
ism of remuneration that so many colors
were left off little knock-about hat
of wings and white roses on sunburnt
straw which saw yesterday. Yet even
this bore a bunch of purple violets in
addition. The straw was very rough
and heavy-the weight, if not the
roughness, a fault. There was one of
fine yellow straw with Tam O. Shantts'
brim, rather wide and covered with
lace, with three ostrich feathers on the
side and bunch of pink roses. These
are examples of extreme simplicity,
though there are some small hats of
blue corn flowers on yellow sunburnt
straw that may merit the name. The
sailor hats of the season have higher
crowns than in the past, and there are
soft visions of lace and roses which
overflow in strcamers of white lace to

satin as bridal costume. But perhaps
this is a freak not likely to be followed
far though set by a princess. No prin-
cess need wear green Tweed with silver
buttons and a waistcoat of checked
white and black silk, to have its beauty
seen with appreciation. Nor need even

emerald queen velvet caps, trimmed

1t is curious under what home!y

Hop sacking, soft canvass, grass linen
these are homely sounding words. But,
were I reckless of expense it to these
would turn, and these would line
with silk and combine with bodices Of
figured linens, tiny roses and forget
mc-nots thereon; and these would ]
wear over petticoats of simple white
muslin-another fair word of simplic-
ity-edged and founced with not quite
so simple Valenciennes. And the hat
should be soft and fine braided with
much lace and black plumes of mid
night. But tastes differ.

too, are the jackets worn over real
waists of the brave-fronted semblance
of them; jackets sharp pointed in front
and very short in the back to display
wide belts of satin. Zouave, bolero and
Eton jackets-ealled not by these names
since fashion has much ingenuity in de-
vising new ones-are not perhaps as
common as once they were, but their
inherent fitness for cunning little

The new sleeves still hide their upper
inches under collarettes and shoulder
capes of lace which falls in folds, or of
muslin which is tortured into frills, or
of the cloth of the costume. Not yet
shall one see the sleeve, tight from waist
to shoulder, casting off all disguises and
standing forth for what it is. And nine
times out of ten the old sleeve retains
its hold and proves its usefulness, the
leg-of-mutton shape rather commoner
than the balloon puff. And of the leg
of-mutton there is distressing variety

inches above the elbow, but wrinkled,
mousquetaire like, quite to the wrist.
Stopping not even here, they are bell
muzzled to the very knuckles, volleying

To some extent the harlequin effect
of the many-colorcd hats is carried out
by gowns of Joseph's coat magnitt-

three different materials may be used.

UNDER FALLING WALLS.

Collapse of Building at Buffalo, N T.,
Proves Fatal to at Least Three Persons
"A Dozen Injured.
BUFFALO, N. Y, May ga section
Of the Seneca street front of Browns
building collapsed yesterday, burying
score CT people in the ruins. George
Metz, a barber, and Jennie Griffith,
cashier in the barber shop, are dead.
William p. Straub, a contractor, Is
known to be in the ruins and a dozen
others are injured, one of whom will
probably die.
Browns building stood on the corner
Of Main and Seneca streets and for
years the Western Union Telegraph
Co. had occupied the ground floor cor
ner as business office and all OF the
fourth floor as an operating room. The
building was filed with offices, many
of which were occupied, and on the
ground floor on both Main and Seneca
streets were stores occupied by mer-
hants.
The Western Union left the building
few weeks ago and the owners Of the
block began remodeling and strength
ening it. On the Seneca street side
force of workmen were engaged in
putting in place new columns and
beams and new foundations for them.
Numbers and 10 Seneca street were
unoccupied, the principal alterations
being made at that point. No. II was
occupied as barber shop by George
Seinert, and No IA by James Clegg's
iewelry store and Thomas Jones' news
stand.
The offices on the floors above were
nearly all tenanted and altogether
there were so people in the collapsed
section The walls fell with crash,
taking down walls and ceiling with
them. Iron columns were twisted as
though they had been soft wires.
In Seinert's barber shop were nine
BARRIERS, the girl cashier and several
customers. When the crash came all
made a rush for the front door, but the
falling bricks drove them to the rear,
where an alley leads to Washington
street Those in front rushed into the
alley, only to be met by the falling
rear walls, under which Metz was
buried and killed. The others crouched
in corner of the shop until the ava
lanche ceased, when they made their
way out. The cashier had her desk in
the front of the shop behind wire
cage. She was unable to get out of it
in time to join the others and perished
beneath the falling walls. The ten
ants of the upper floors had many
narrow escapes, but so far as known
all of them succeeded in escaping. The
body of Miss Griffith was found.
Straub's body has not yet been found.
The body of man about 2S years old
whose name is reported as Deigler, a
laborer, was found by the searching
party in the rear of the building, early
this morning.
