Saturday night. Tho latter's tody was
found on the railroad track. District
Attorney Baldwin and the coroner had
an extended Investigation today. and
the former states that the evidence does
not seem sufficient to warrant the hold
ing of the men, and 1t is probable they
will be released in the morning. Tbnre
is some suggestion that Green may have
been accidentally killed, but this is
hardly probable.
The place where the body was found
is most likely one for the commission

body was placed, but the murderers
made miscalculation. They had not
thought of an Italian workman taking
the train arrived. Had the body not
been discovered by this man it would
have BEEN cut to pieces, the engineer
being unable to see it until the locomo-
tive would have been SO close that a
stop would have been AN impossiibilty.
That there was fight near the guar
ries, short distance from the bridge,
early yesterday morning has teen
proven by one witness who resides near
the place.. He says he was awakened
about 3 O'Clock yesterday morning by a
number of men who were fighting and
cuising near his home, but that the
noise suddenly ceased. Green is known

Many Local Cars Held Up by One of the
Through Line.
Car No 217 of the Darby line was the
cause Of much delay. to traffic on the
Wilmington City Railway system Tues
day morning. About 7. 30 o clock, while
2l7 was proceediue IN Market street,
the rear truck betrayed desire to go
out Eighth street, notwithstandin the
front truck continued on tho Market
street track. The rear truck got SO far
out Of line that both the north and
south bound tracks were blocked and
in n shoft time. about l0 cars we've
stopped
Meanwhile, the Darby car was moved
backward and forward in an effort to
bring back the rear truck to the rails.
This was ineffective until the tendency
of the rear wheels to go up Eighth was
taken advantage of by switching the
forward truck also to that line and
then both trucks being brought on the
same track, it was possible TO back the
car to tho northbound Market street
lima and allow it to proceed on its regu-
lar route. " ..s

Note On May 18th, 1900, the board
ordered the sum OF S5S. S5 to be trans
ferred from the fund for current
expenses and placed TO the credit of the
fund for new buildings. 3Nt
After the regular business bad been
disposed OF the board resumed recon
sideration of the revision of rules. A
long discussion followed the report of
the law committee IN the matter OF pro-
motions from the sixth grammar grade,
to allow the rule to remain MS hereto
fore. giving all pupils of that grade and
all higher grades, who get term aver
ages as high as rs for daily work IN
each and every branch, except one, and
not less than 10 in that branch, the
right to be promoted at the beginning
of the next term. Mr.. Ross wanted
provision made that il scholars should
be low in two studies they should be
permitted to take special examination
to make up tho deficiency, If possible.
He thought it should be as easy to get
into the High School as 10 got from
ono grade below that into another. DR.
Frantz thought children below the
sixth grado should be In the High
School to get the benefit OF the manual
training department. Most of tbs
members favored the existing rule and
it was permitted TO stand No change
was made in the matter of promotions
in ary OF the classes.
1t was decided to have only ono ses-
sion in the primary and grammar
schools on very stormy days, the mat

MARCHIoNEss OF LONDONDERRY.

Helen's delight. The two Egreat Scotch
deerhounds, Langwell and Braemore,
love to follow the beautiful girl all over
the park and crouch at her feet for
hours, watching her with great, devot-
ed eyes.
Although she loves horses best, Lady
Londonderry also is fond of dogs, and
they are devoted to her, fact that goes
to disprove the oft repeated accusations
Of her enemies that she is the proudest
and coolest woman in England. AMI
mails have way of judging character
that transcends all human calculations.
and their Judgment is seldom, If ever,
disappointing. 1t is beautiful to notice
in the great community at Wynyard
the freemasonry of friendship that
seems to exist between the creatures
human and brute that dwell together on
the estate.
Lady Londonderry's special farming
fads are chicken raising and dairylng

MEDALS FOR LAuNDREssEs.

There is no country more fond OF
medals and decorations than France
and there seems no end to the bestowal3
Of honors. The latest class of people:
to be made happy are washerwomen,4
for whom there are now diplomas. On
the Seine washerwomen play an Inn
portant part in the life of the conlmu-s
nifty, and in revolutionary periods they
have proved almost as formidable ar
the market women of Paris. For
them, therefore, the government has
thought fit to establish this new order
and to award IL medals. The important
duty Of distributing the diplomas to tho
most deserving washerwomen is dis
charged by the ministry Of commarce.S

Cloth continues the favorite material
for these costumes, but the quality
must be Of the very finest, and light
colors are preferred. Plain cloth, also,
is preferred to patterns of any kind.
The trimmings are stitchings, embroid-
cries and fringes. The new fringes are
exquisite They are made of fringed
out ribbons and also of chenille. Even
hats are being trimmed with these, for
they are quite the rage.
Terry velvet is much used for tailor
costumes and underskirts covered with
tunics. An imitation Indian cashmere.
which is called jamalpur, also makes
elegant tailor costumes and handsome
house dresses.
Colors are either very bright or of the
palest. tints imaginable. Ducks egg
blue is a very fashionable color, as also
is the palest of pale gray. Then comes
blue violet, bright brown, rose pink
(even in frieze cloth), turquoise blue.
mauve, grass green and red. Pastel and
flesh tints are reserved for evening
wear and are trimmed with heavy lace,
especially if the material be ''pannes"
Waist sashes are worn more than
ever, and they are tied on one side as a
rule. They are mostly in black crepe de
chine, with rich silk fringe on each
end. Velvet sashes edged with chenille
fringe are also seen.
Another pretty idea is that every tai
lor costume be provided with taffeta
cravat, either white or colored and edg-
ed with lace. Many modistes provide a
suitable cravat for every costume they
make They also make long, tightly
| fitting Jackets, or coates, for plaid
skirts, and these coates have each
seam embroidered in a darker,shade of
the same color.
| Passing on from skirts to bodices,
again I notice that a great many cos
| tunes, although made with separate
skirts and bodices, give the impression
of being princess robes, as they are in
visibly united at the waist. This is ac-
complished by the bodice being worn
under the skirt, while the upper edge
Of the latter is finished with binding
instead of band, so that it fits as
closely as possible to the figure. Round
bodices are most popular at present
that is, those which are trimmed in q
round style, with chemisettes and
round shoulder collars, with horizontal
rows of trimming or tucks. A number
of pretty bodices are tucked in this wise
round the figure, the back being kept
| flat and the fronts pouched, with the
narrowest possible vest of full white
chiffon introduced down the center

tucked to correspond. Another charm

j . .
side of the front vest. where similar
pieces of lace are attached to reach the
waist.
Handmade laces composed of lace
braids are as popular as ever for trim
ming purposes. This lace has a great
advantage over that made by machine,
as it can be adapted TO any passing
fashion. Some new blouses are yelled
entirely with it.
Now that we are in a period where
chiffons and gauzes reign supreme, we
find that a great number of evening
gowns this season are yelled with DEL
icate tissues instead Of being composed
entirely of handsome silks. Black has
once more been restored to favor for
evening wear, and many Of the most
elegant gowns are of glace silk, yelled
with black spotted net.
Let me introduce to you real re-
vival-namely, the Louis XVI Jacket,
with long basques, lace ruff1es and
gauntlet cuffs. 1t is made of velvet, fits
tight to the figure at the back and
opens over an embroidered satin waist
coat with enameled buttons. At pres
emit this is worn only for visits, when
the fur or heavy cloak is thrown off and
left in the anteroom. BY and by, how
ever, it will be worn out Of doors and
will take the place Of the tailor cos
tune on dressy occasions. OF course,
the skirt under this jacket must be OF
silk, satin or velvet, like the jacket it.
self. I would advise it to be made by q
tailor-a good tailor-for perfect cut
is essential to. its complete beauty.

blouses and neglige shirt waists. This
new material will be formidable rival
OF wash silks, as its lasting qualities
are superior and 1t is less expensive.
Some very stylish shirts of mercerized
cotton, cut In the latest fashion, with
pointed cuffs and attached collars, eff
fectively trimmed in narrow white
beading, are sold at $1.75, and look quite
as pretty as do those of the finest wash
silks. White shirts in fancy woven cot
ton stuffs are among the most salable
OF the seasons products, both because
they are inexpensive and women have
come to appreciate their washable quail
tiles. The material in use is sufficiently
decorative in itself; therefore they are
made quite plain, which conduces to
easy laundering, feature not to be
despised.
Deep tucks and the use of large pearl
buttons are noticeable on the piaue
chambray and percale shirts. These
kinds are always neatly tailored and
bear ample evidence of being the work
of experienced haberdashers.
The handmade lingerie shirt waist is
the immediate extravaganza and real
novelty. 1t is usually made of Persian
lawn or of the sheerest linen cambria.
IL Is really more bodice than shirt
waist. as 1T is nearly always provided
with fancy yoke or some surplice eff
feet. Many Of them fasten in the back
with invisible buttons, and others hook
under the arm. A very beautiful one is
made of Persian lawn strips half an
| inch wide, put together with herring
bone stitches. The vest and yoke are
composed of even narrower bands,
which produce,$a strilSingly exquisite
lacy effect. The gauntlet cuff reaches
well over the hand, describing an acute
point, and is fastened by crocheted but
tons and thread loops: 1t may be worn
over colored or white silk underwaist,
| which it is intended should be long
sleeved and high necked. All over tucks
form another. Every stitch is made by
hand. In this case surplice arrange
iment is of handsome vandyke lace, also
