 their destination sumptuous repast
 was served and the rest of the day was spent in fishing, boating and bath ing. As the tide was low the return trip was made on the beach, and all voted a most pleasant day. although Mrs. Lena Sears covered her face as she passed through the streets to es- cape recognition. However there was

Scott and child ren, Mrs. Sears, Earl Sears, Mrs Cope land, lone Copeland. Mrs. Osborn. Mrs Seargeant, Mrs. Wharton. Misses Tip ton, Garnett. Seargeant, Wiley, Cope land and Ming.
 TROLL BY WIRE BROKE. -Abou. 6:SO o'clock last evening the trolley wire on the s1uth rack of the Wash inSton street line broke between Fifth and Sixth streets while ear was pass ing. One of the ends of the wire caught on the front end of the car and was carried along with it till it passed the next cross wire. where the two were fastened together.

They were no doubt safer in the car than they would have been in the street. which was pretty well filled with wires live and otherwise. The damage was re- paired temporarily in the course of half an hour.
