\ Caravan of Peasants From the Surrounding Provinces Lend New Element to the Scene on the Piazza of St. Peters Fly Their Bright Geztun,es.

Rome, Aug Although this is the third morning of the cardinals im- prisonment. they have not yet arrived at decision. In the hope that over night some agreement mioht have been arranged, the foreign ministers, many other personages and 2,o0O or 3,000 of the general public went to St. Peters Monday morning to await developments.
 Doomed to Disappointment.
 They were doomed to another dis appointment, for at li:16 q. m., like the brollen=out pennant of ship, the smoke, announcing that the fifth bal lot had been fruitless, rose from the chimney ef the Sistine chapel and was borne away by light breeze. It was a homeward bound pennant for the crowd, which immediately left the piazza. Many expressed regret at the failure of the ballot. There is popular feeling that the afternoons ballot may bring the new pope, but this does not appear to be based ou any particular reason.
 The Vatican Guards Doubled.
 The correspondent visited the inside of the vatican and found that all around the precincts of the conclave the guards had been doubled. and wherever there is the slightest pos sibility of communication with the conelave the Swiss guards, gen darmes and Palatine guards watched the ground. The antagonism exist ing between these bodies is the best guarantee that nothing underhand will be allowed. Besides, the captains of the conclave in their cooked hats and uniforms embroidered with gol! lace. assisted by the valet of Prince Chigi, the marshal of the conclave, in gorgeous liveries, are constantly on the alert

A new note to the scene was given by a caravan of peasants from the surrounding provinces, composed | of men, women and children in cos tune, who have evidently come to Rome for the pope's blessing. The women wore bright red skirts, white bodices with eolored corsets outside, spotless white handkerehiefs on thei. heads, and sandals laced with leather l thongs to the knee. The men were less gorgeous in velvet knee brooches | with gold buttons. The group camped in the shadow of the obelisk, eating watermelon and making so brilliant a picture that all on the piazza es peeially the foreigners. feasted their eyes on the characteristic scene

HIGHER COURT DECISIONS.
Railroad Company Not Liable to EN-.
ploye for Garnisheed Wages.

The Supreme Court yesterday reversed a
judgment of the Jackson Circuit Court in
favor OF Charles Adam against the Balti-
more & Ohia Southwestern Railroad Com
pany. A woman who held small claim
against Adam assigned it to collector at
Louisville, KY, in violation of the statute
which makes such an assignment criminal
offense. Garnishment suit was brought
against the railroad company. The rail-
road company notified Adam of the fact
and called on him to aid 1t In defeating the
action. Instead of doing he sued for
his wages, and the case in Kentucky was
decided in the collectors favor on the
claimants evidence. The Supreme Courts
decision was TO the effect that where the
wages of railroad employe have been
garnisheed. in Kentucky, or other foreign
jurisdiction, and the company, after max
ing a proper defense, is compelled to pay

to him.
The appeal of the Muncie Natural Gas
Company from a decree fixing the price of
gas at II cents a thousand feet was argued
orally before the Supreme Court yesterday.
The ordinance under which the company
laid its pipes gave 1t a right to charge
rates based on comparison with the cost
of other kinds of fuel. The gas company

the price fixed by the Circuit Court for

The Pennsylvania Loan.

Persons interested in finances and rail-
road financiering are not disposed to accept
the simple explanation that the $6OOO0,OOO
of fresh capital stock, aside from any
other surplus at it's command, that these
funds are desired for extension and bet
terment by the Pennsylvania. This is a
very pretty sum to be used in improve
ments to as big a property as are the
Pennsylvania lines. They say the sum of
sS0.000,0O0 cannot be expended in a day or
in a week, and for such purposes the large
amount of cash just received from the
Lake Shore would undoubtedly prove am
ply sufficient until some of the new stock
of the Pennsylvania could be marketed.
The borrowing, they say, of so large an
amount of money at this time is rather a
strong evidence that the Pennsylvania is
on the eve of communicating some unusual
ly important financial operation, and many
believe that IL is in connection with secur-
ing control of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford, carrying out plans which have
been steadily developing for some years
There are other evidences that the Penn
sylvania is DESTROYS of securing control of
the New York, New Haven & Hartford.
which would let the Pennsylvania inter-
ests into the most important and valuable
points for freight and passenger traffic in
New England.

GUSSIE CAME BETWEEN
MRS. MINNIE ALLEY ACCUSES HER
HUSBAND OF THRILLING.
Heavy Damages Awarded w. f. Cald-
well & CO.-Vaudevflle Actors Di-
vOrced-Grist of the Courts.

Minnie NJ. Alley yesterday sued her hus-
band. Alfred /. Alley, for a divorce in
Room of the Superior Court. According
to Mrs. Alleys complaint her husband was
unfaithful to her, and caused her much
trouble and mental anguish by inconsider-
ate treatment. She narrates in her COM
plant many little incidents that led her
to suspect his ridelity, and closes by aver
ring she has been true and wifely to him,
and has in no way given him cause to
shamefully treat her.
The troubles of the Alleys seem TO have
been caused by one "Gussie," whom Mrs.
Alley says her husband courted, although
a married man. She said he carried q
photograph of "Gussie" around in his
pocket, and that when she discovered 1t
in his coat and accused him OF his perfidy
he assaulted her and severely thrashed her
for inqusitiveness. Mrs. Alley says her
husband also rented lockbox in the post
office in which to get his mail from
"Gussie,' and denied her access to the
box. He continually arranged clandestine
meetings with her, and on many occasions
showed that he no longer loved his wife
but rather preferred "Gussie.''
Mrs. Alley asks an unconditional divorce
and an allowance for attorneys fees.

The Fur-CIad CasteIlanes.
New York Press.


Although Anna, Countess De Castellane
has received no social recognition to speak
of, her presence in America is felt by the
youngest generation. The fashion of dress
ing her two young boys has interested
scores of mothers. The two little Castel-
lanes spend much of their time parading
the avenue. between Forty-seventh and
Thirty-third streets. They wear entire
suits of fur from their peaked hoods to
their fur leggins. George, the eldest, wears
lynx, and his brother Boni wears Russian
squirrel. Their Jackets their trousers and
their attached hoods are all of fur, and in
this garb the boys look like baby Eski-
mos. 1t is rather pretty fashion, for
the children's faces are framed in fur.
Rarely have such lively, prancing children
amused the avenue. Boni dragged a sled
the other morning across the clear pave
ments. but in his aunts, Miss Helen Gould,
private yard, he was permitted to tumble
in real snow to his hearts delight. These
fur clothes for children practical for
shedding, as the boy may simply wallow
in heaps of snow without catching cold. but
obstacle to the popularity is the cost of
the furs. The cheapest fur suits fetch 500.
