M'KEE, MRS. | RUSSELL HARRISON AND MRS. DIONMICK. ! Correspondence of Tar EVENING STAR. Carr May Porxt, N.J., August 19. When I went to the Cape May Point bath houses to engage one for the season I was ushered by the bathing mistress to the next to | the last row of houses. “There,” she said with | the air of one conferring a great favor, “there! I am going to put you in the row with the Presi- | dent’s family,” and she pointed to the end of | the line. Gazing in the direction mdicated by her I saw that upon the doors of the two houses nearest the beach had been placed small white | cards containing the simple inscription, ‘Mrs. ; Harrison.” I tried to look as though I was very much impressed with the honor bestowed upon me and my benefactrese evidently appreciated the effort, for she proceeded to confer still another one. | “Would you like to see suits?” she asked. and on my replying “I should be de- lighted” I was conducted to the front of the | Platform. where on a clothes line, apart from the rest, hung in state three bath dresses, belong- | ing respectively to Baby McKee, to Mrs. Mc- Kee and to Baby McKee’s maid. ‘An amusing sight it was and not at all awe- inspiring—the three suits on the lime swaying backward and forward in the wind and be- fore them as show woman the solemn-visaged | keeper of the bath houses. First of all wae | Baby McKee’s suit of neat dark blue, one of | Very small dimensions, to which was attached a pair of black stockings. The dress of the maid Was in nowise remarkable except for the fact that the dark blue flanuel without a sign of trimming was in perfect taste. A GREENERY-YALLERY COMBINATION. Bat the suit of Mrs. McKee! I fairly held my breath when I saw it. Such a marvelous crea- tion as that was! The color was a bewildering cross between green and yellow—a sort of bil- ious green or a sickly baff. But however that may have been, the trimming of the “green- ers-yallery” combination was positive enough. Bi [pascementerie figures of woolen braid. about five inches in circumference, encireled the skirt, while smaller ones adorned the neck and sleeves of the bodice. I was greatly re- lieved when my guide interrupted my thoughts with the remark: “We don't think m of them as suits for the President's foiks, but Mrs, Harrison has ordered new ones for the whole lot.” The new enite evidently arrived in good time, for I never again saw the “‘greenery-yal- lery” and black creation. On the Monday fol- lowing the day ou which my bath house was engaged. I was in the small room preparing for my daily dip im the ocean. when 1 heard a ebildieh scream of delight, followed by a deeper Yoice, which said: “Well, Ben, you ain't a-go- ing in bathing today, are you?” Peeping cautiously from behind my half- closed door I beheld *‘his excellency the Presi- dent of the United States” playing peck-n-boo with his small grandson, who was in his house disrobing for the bath, ‘THE PRESIDENTIAL PARTY IX THE SURF. Reclosing my door, I made haste with my toilet and was soon on my way to the beach. There I found the President already in the surf, with Private Secretary Halford at his side. Turning around I saw yy McKee seated on the clasped hands of his mother and Mrs. Dimmick, with one chubby arm held tightly around the neck of each, after the fashion of “Carry My Lady to London.” Securely and comfortably perched on his seat he allowed his bearers to carry him out into the water, where the waves broke over his head. After two or three dips in the surf the fearless little bather was delivered to iis nurse, who carried him back to the bath house. While in batkings the presidential party keeps very much together. The crowd of bathers from the hotels and cottages is very considerate; although maintaining a lively imterest in the President's movements, they are not at all obtrusive. Mr. Harrison bathes where the water, when |. comes a tittle above his waist. Of course the waves are sometimes over his head He seems to enjoy “jumping the breakers” with daughters or his niece, but he neither swims nor floats. In fact, no one of his party can swim, but all seem to take great delight in the bath. Dira Harrison never bathes in the surf, but, accompanied by a party of pleasant le. usually takes a chair on the board walk—a position from which she can watch the antics of the bathers, Greut interest is manifested by the specta- tors on the beach in the doings of the people Sojourners at the | Point are frequentiy stopped during the bath- ing hour by total strangers and asked to show the Whereabouts of one or another momber of the presidential family. BATHING SUITS. Mrs. McKee is easily identified by her new and pretty suit of blue flamnel and red braid and by the red and white bandana which con fines her hair. Mra. Dimmick's dress is of | black waterproof silk. trimmed with pinked flounces of the same. Her bandana is bine and white. and enjoys the distinction of being the only blue kerchief in the surf. Mrs, Russell Harrison is not easily distinguished by her attire, for the suit is blue, with no conspicuous garniture; her kerchiet is Turkey red, like those on the heads of fully one-half of the girls iuches by 13 feet 9 inches, 815; reduced | in the water.

The sale was soon arranged, Matson to receive $6,000 cash. The purchasers then pro- duced a New York sight for $8,000, but Matson did not have enough moucy to give them the difference, and they prevailed upon kim to drive into town and get the amount, which he did by discounting a note at the Jefferson City Bank aud borrowing the bal- ance. Supplied with $1,350 Matson buck to cousummate the sale, the purchasers meeting him at a spring some distance from house. When he dismounted to take a drink the men produced revolvers aud by threatening to shoot their victim forced him to hand over the $1,350. CRUSHED UNDER A WALL. Four Persons Killed in @ Street-Car Stable in Philadelphia, During o heavy storm which prevailed in Philadelphia last evening the southern wall of the stable and car sheds occupying the square bounded by 12th and 13th streets and Susque- hanna avenue and Dauphin street, used jointly by the Twelfth and Sixteanth and Tenth and Eleventh Street Passenger Railway companies, was blown down, carrying a portion of the roof with it and smashing s number of cars, Four persons were killed outright, three are so badly injured that they are not oxpected to re- cover, three others were less seriously injured and one is missing and probably dead. Twenty or more horses were killed. Following is a list of the persons killed: LIST OF THE DEAD AMD IXJURED. August Paul, driver, of 809 Norris strect; Mrs. August Paul, his wife; Charles Severn. conductor, 1812 Norris street; Charles Fisher, driver, 13th and Carlton streets, were killed. The injured are: Henry Jacoby, conductor, 17th street, scalp wound and shock, taken to German Hospital; Charles Brown, aged nine- teen years, passenger, both arms and legs broken, German Hospital; Jas, J. Martin, driver, 2251 Colorado street, back crushed and hurt internally, taken home; Henry Trod- wetter, stableman, struck by flying debris; a son of August Pani. arm broken and injured internatly; naknown bey strack by timbers. Of tie injured, Jacoby, Martin aud Brown are so badly hurt that their recovery 1s considered very doubtful. John Christy, aged eighteen ears,a horse changer, son of Stable Boss hristy, was leading a horse, which became frightened by a crash of thunder and dashed into the building just as the roof feli. Christy followed after the animal, andas he has not since been seen he is believed to have been killed. 4 CONDEMNED WALL. ‘The storm which caused this disaster began about 6:45 o'clock last evening. The thunder and lightning was very severe and rain fell in torrents. The wind, which was scarcely notice- able at first, gradually increased in soverity until at 7 o'clock it was blowing at the rate of forty miles an how. It was at this hour that tho center portion of the long high wall of the cur stables gave way. The wail is said to have been weak and about a year ago the building mspecters, it is reported, it. Only last week men were at work patching it up. At the time the wall fell, cars 665, 667 and 668 of the Twelfth and Sixteenth Street Company wore standing in line ready to be “struck off” by the starter, August Paul, driver of car No. 668, an old employe of the road, was sitting in his car eating supper, which had been brought fo him by his wite from their home near the depot. It had been Mrs. Paul's habit for a long time to place ber Ausband’s evening meal ina basket, and, accompanied by their only son, go to the depot, where they would sit im his car while the husband and father ate. In this car were also Charles Severn, the uctor, un- married, and young Charles Brown. When tho roof feli the ‘car was completely crushed and the horses attached to it were killed. Paul and his wife were instantly killed. Seve when taken out, whispered a few inarticalate sentences and then expired. Brown was taken out in ean unconscious condition. Both arms and both legs are broken and his condition precarious. Paul's son was the least hurt of those in the car. One arm is broken and he is injured internally, CRUSHED IF cara, ‘Car No. 667 stood just in front of 668. This was ulso crushed, Driver Charles Fisher wav taken out dead, Conductor Henry Jacoby was wounded on the head and so severely shocked that death is expected at any moment. The conductor and driver of No. 665 were provi- dentially away from their car at the instant the wall fell and so escaped injury. James J. Martm, driver of ‘cur No. 10 of the 10th and i}th streets line was on his car ready to move out of the depot when the erash camo. His car was smashed und he was vo seriously injured about the back and internally that hw life is despaired of. Henry Trodwetier, a horse changer, was caught by flying timbers and badly hurt. Au unknown boy who was loitering about the stable was struck and hurt. The depot was very long and was used asa thoroughfare and it is barely possible that other persons wore caught in the wreck, Workmen are cd in searching for the body of young Christy, which is lieved to be buried in the ruine, gress is slow, and it will not be known uni te today whether or not there wore any other casualties, Thirty or more eanpty cars which bad been turned in for the night were crushed into kindling wood, Many narrow oscapes are reported. A FATAL BUILDING. This is the third time within eleven yoars that a portion of this immense structure, cover- img large block, has been injured by wind. The stable portion has just been rebuilt, after having been destroyed by fire last winter. The scene around the building last night was sad- dening in the extreme, Relatives of dead and wounded crowded into the cavernous interior, the darkuess of whieh was only partially re- lieved by spluttering gasoline lights. On the floor of the employes’ room lay the maugled bodies of the four dead covered by rough horse blankets. ‘The uncertainty as to whether or not there were any others under the ruins added to the horror of the scene. The wind which caused this damage unroofed four houses on 11th street, above York, about three blocks from the depot. Other damage by wind and rain is reported from differen: parts of the city. npr en cs SILCOTT IN COLORADO. He Came to Silverton From Chihuahua, Mexico, Some Time Ago. Private Detective Robert Brace of Chicago has notified A. J. Holmos, sergeant-nt-arms of the House of Representatives, that Charles M.

Anthony Manill, an Italian fruit vender, shot and fatally wounded Frederick J. Crimmins, assistant city editor of the Detroit Evening Sun, on the corner of Croghan and Randolph streets. Detroit, early Wednesday evening, be- cause he suspected Crimmins of taking one more plum than he paid for. He accused Crimmins of the theft and when the latter laughingly denied it the Italian drew a re- volver and, placing it within four inches of Crimmius’ grom, fired. The wounded man fell to the pavement and the Italian fled, but was caught withiu ten minutes ina barn of a fellow countryman, who had seereted him. A crowd collected and would have iynched Manill had they been able to get him before the police locked him up. Crimmins was a mem- ber of the Detroit bar before he took up news- awper work.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN MISSISSIPPI Constitution Makers Think it Would Avert Negro Supremacy. A tinge of sentiment colored the proceedings of the Mississippi constitutional convention yesterday during the progress of Delegate John W. Fewell’s speech in support of the Proposition offered by hinmself to confer suf- frage upon women. Mr. Fewell's resolution read as fallows: “Resolaed, That it is the sense of this convon- tiom that it is a condition meoessary to the solution of the franchise problem that the right to vote shall be sccured by proper constitu- tional enactment to every woman who shall have resided ia this state six months and shail be twenty-one years of age and upward, and whe shall own or whose husband, if she have a husband, shall own real estate situatod im this state of the clear value of $300, over and above all incumbrances. The vote of every woman voting in any election shall be cast by some male elector, who shali be thereunto anthor- ized in writing by such woman s0 entitled to vote, whieh constitutional enactment not to be framed #o as te grant te women the right to hoid office.” Under the rules the resolution should have gonc to the committee on elective franchise, but by unanimous consent he was allowed to take the floor in support of his resolution. well made the most of bis opportunity, and ina speech of twenty minutes’ duration made a deep impression on his hearers. He urged that a special committee be appointed to report on the question, but the committee on elective irauchises regarded such a refer- ence with the instructions snggested as in- fringiug upon the prerogative of the elective franchise committee, and after two hours’ dis- cussion Mr. Fewell strack outthe objectionable clause of his resoiution and bad it referred the usnal way, Delegate Hudson of Yazoo aleo offered an amendment providing for female suffrage wath @ proper and educational quelification. This also embraces the Australian ballot system. The woman suffrage idea is growing in favor among the best minds of the convention, and unless safety from negro supremacy can reached by other methods Mr. Fewell’s plan or one similar to it will be adopted. Today the judiciary committee will make its report upon the question submitted by the convention a few days ago as to whether the fandamentai conditions embraced in the act of Congress of 1870, readmiiting Mississippi into the Union, are constitutional and binding upon this convention. Itis understood that the committee will report against the constitution- ality of the fundamental conditions, and ad- vise the convention that they are not bound by them. The convention will probably ad- journ until Monday. there being no business ready for consideration. Serna snes -CE aeerOTN THE CHOLERA IN SPAIN.

They declare that the peasants are opposing ail attempts to institute sanitary precautions and even resort to force in order to prevent them from doing their duty, and that under these circumstances any abatement in the virulence of the disease is quite impossible. The city of Arges has been deserted by nearly all the inhabitants, only those who are down with the cholera anda few relatives who are nursing thom boing left. The mayor, who is the only remaining official in the city, yesterday buried hie own son, all the grave diggers having fled the city. Of one hun- dred and tweuty-three people who have been attacked by the disease, forty-four have died during the last four days. ein. ‘ol THE TERMS UF PEACE.

The pro- tocol, as submitted by Guatemala, demanded that Vice President Ayala assume tho execu- tive power and arrange for the election of a president. Ezeta says Ayala is a traitor to his country and that he (zeta) will reject the protocol, A dispatch from the City of Mexico says General of Division Ignacieo B. Alatorre has been appointed by President Diaz as a special minister to Central America, resident in Guatemala, with confidential instructions to act as mediator m the affairs between San Salvador and Guatemala, He has just left San Francisco for his post, FATAL CARTRIDGE EXPLOSION.
