New Dress Materials.

For present needs there are shown the
most attractive silk and wool novelties,
with mesh SO sheer and so as to sug-
gest mousselines; the use OF a change
able silk lining enhances their beauty
Shot veilings are the latest Developments
in thin wool fabrics, and some Of the
samples shown, having an almost invisi-
some. Especially smart are the rather
severely designed dresses Of checked silk
showing green and blue, and little il any
trimming is employed.
A distinctly new silk for autumn is
termed matte tatfeta, which will be much
used for entire COSTUMES. No autumn
outfit is complete with out one or more
light weight cloth and cheviot or tweed
costumes Foulard shirt waist dresses
will be worn until late in the autumn,
and those OF light delicate shades may
even be worn indoors during the winter
on semi-formal occasions.
Buttons will form an important decor
alton on modified tailor costumes. Loose
coats OF tsffeta and pongee and even
those OF lightweight cloth often bear
buckles OF steel or enamel in combina-
tion with strap trimmings. In laces,
Irish crochet, point VeDise and filet are
most favored for combining with rich
fabrics. Many OF the dress braids are
made OF fiber and may be adapted to any
desired method OF disposition. and in
solid colors and mixtures are procurable.
Embroidery OF all kinds reigns supreme
in trimmings. From the Delineator for

New York Under Inky Pail.

New York. Aug 5.-Noonday was
turned practically into night all over
New York city yesterday, and lights we're
turned on exactly as at night. Across
open squares or parks only the outlines
OF buildings were perceptiole at half a
block distant, as at latest dusk With
in doors people had to start the artificial
lights. Police stations and the hotels
set their outside lights ablazs. The
surface cars ran up and down the ave-
nues with headlights and inner lights all
going. as in the evening.
More unusual still, il, in fact, such a
thing has ever happened here before at
midday, harbor navigation went on by
light signals, as in the night. Ferry
boats and tugs set their sdelights, the
ferry slips were burned aud at the bat
terry the red danger light which marks
the position of the swimming bath, was
lighted.
The intense darkness lasted for an
hour, and following it was heavy down
pour OF rain. The thunder came on reg
ularly, like pyrotechnic bombs set off at
timed intervals and sounding always a
little nearer. For half an hour this con-
tinued, the thunder and lightning be.
coming sharper, heavier and more vivid.
The atmosphere changed. The temper.
ature went down from 75 to SO degrees
II ia fortunate for the historians and
the wise that the rain and the electric
demonstration came with the heavy,
dark, low lying. piratical clouds. Else
there might have been another mysteri-
GUS daylight blackness to battle q world,
like the dark day" OF May ~, 1880.

Handsome Store Building.

A structure just about finished is the
handsome store building OF j. A. Lyon &
Son, situated on Fourth street, between
Main and Rood and one OF the most pre-.
tentious store buildings in the city.
Constructed of brick, with Golden
pressed brick front with plate glass win
dows, il will make one OF the best Of the
late buildings erected in the city.
The building is 60x75 feet and con-
tains but one large room. The room is
splendidly lighted throughout and there
will be no dark spaces in the store
The contract for the building WAS let
to John j. Lumsden and the workman,
ship on same is che very best that could
be done. The foundations. walls and
the joist on the second fl or are 80 con.
structed as to permit OF a second story
being added at any time the business of
the firm requires it or when it can be
rented for other purposes.
The head OF the firm Mr. j. A. Lyons,
has shown abundant faith in the future
OF this city. The store buildings alone
aud together with the other investments
made by himself and son in the city and
valley, stamps them as men thorough
going in business affairs and men who
are not fearful of the future, so far as
the future business interests OF this city
are concerned.
About the 18th Of September the firm
expect to open their new stock Of goods
and begin business. Mr.. Harry Lyons

Talks of New Beach.
In speaking OF the new beach. Mr..
Stevens expresses the view that some
uncertainty exists as to the utility of
the inner basin for the purpose. The
question to be tested by experience is
whether the water can be kept clean
and in good condition. Decaying vege
tation and stagnation of the water
are the things dreaded. He suggests
that the lake should be drained and the
bottom we'll sanded.
Mr.. Stevens thinks the beach should
be kept, open from to II a. m. and
from p. M. TO sunset. He says the lat
ter period has alway, been most popu-
lar
In his table of estimates for the next
season Mr.. Stevens asks that twelve
persons be employed, including the su-
perintendent. with salary list of $14
per diem
Mr.. Stevens speaks highly in his re.
port of the efficient service OF Police

NO AUTHORITY TO
COMPEL THE GRADING
Answer to Complaint of
Eleventh Street Cave-in.
Commissioners Say They Could Only
Request That Lots Be Leveled
to the Street.

The question of grading the lots iu
Columbia Heights abutting upon Elev-
enth Street extended has been occu-
pyfng the attention of the District au-
thorities for several days. The mat
ter was brought to the notice of the
Commissioners by Judge Charles s
Bundy. who complained of the cavine
OF earth into the cut made for the ex-
tension Of the street, and he was OF
the opinion that the owners of squares
27 and rs should be required to grade
their lots in the public interest.
After duly considering the matter,
however. the Commissioners have de-
iermiDed that they have no authority
to compel the work desired to be done,
and Judge Buncy ,aill be so informed
Mr.. w. p. Richards, engineer In
charge of streets submitted report On
the subject. in which he stated that an
award of damages was made for the
lots referred to. but that the award
did not carry any obligation to the own
ers of the property to grade the lots,
except as incident to building opera
tiOns.
Could Only Request.
In the opinion of Mr.. Richards. the
Commissioners could do no more than
request the grading. and he thought the
owners OF the property would decline
to perform the work at present. He
suggested that the only way to remedy
the conditions complained of would be
TO put down sidewalks In front of these
squares, but he thought the expense to
the District would be too great to war
rant undertaking the work now. with
the small amount of pedestrian travel
on the street. Mr.. Richards recom-
mended sloping the banks to keep them
from caving.
Mr.. c. p. Hunt, the Computing En-
gineer, stated in his report that the
work of macadamizing the roadway and
the construction of cutters would nee
essarily lead to the removal of large
quantity of the earth which would
otherwise cave into the roadway as
Row graded. He expressed the hope
that after this work was completed
there would be no further serious slid.
