(Special to The Evening World.) ‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—The capital is crowded by persons invited and uninvited who have come to attend the wedding and the reception of Miss Alice Roosevelt and Representative Longworth. The hotels are filled, and many of those who are here are visiting rela- tives and friends who have social and official positions in the capital. Every train that has arrived to-day has brought its share of guests, and baggage containing gowns for theh reception is piled high at the railroad station. For about every woman there appears to be four at- tendants, in the form of milliners, dressmakers, maids and hairdressers.

Nation Ignoring White House Event. 7 There was @ rehearsal of the wed- Ging with nrusic and lights at the White House late this afternoon. Miss Roose- ‘velt, true to bride’s traditions, made no |ppearance to-day on the streets. Mr. Longworth was at the Capitol only @ few minutes, ‘The bride, it seems, believes In the olf adage about the efficacy of “Something old, something new, something bor- rowed and something blue” in a mar- riage costume. For the something old she will wear some lace which adorned the gown of her mother when she became Mrs. Roosevelt. The something new will be the wedding gown !tself. That which has been borrowed !s a jJewel-incrusted ailver buckie which adorned the instep of a lady of high degree who moved gracefully through the minuet in can- dle-lit evenings long ago.

In private conversation the President fe known to have expressed himself as @ispleased with the pomp and circum- stance that is attending che marriage. To begin, he wanted a strictly private wedding, with the guests limited to the closest friends and kinsfolk. Being overruled by Miss Alice Roose- velt, the President sot out to hedge the ceremony from undue publicity as much as possible, He 1s responsible to a great degree for the efforts that are being made to keep the list of guests, the list of presents and other details out of print, He {8 qucted as saying that so much publiolty over a marriage is, to his notion, unfair to his daughter and to the people of the country. Meanwhile, the pre-marriage events are Increasing. Last night the brid groom gave tho farewell bachelor din- ner to his xroomsamen and a few spe- celal guests, including his future father- in-law and Secretary of War Taft, Ma- jor McCauley and other aides at the (Special to'The Bventng World.)

Secretuay Loeb said late this afternoon that so fur as he knew no gift bad come from the court of St. James. The British Dhmbassy here has not been asked to look after any consign- ment from His Majesty, Edmard VII. For the British Ambassador the situ- ation has become embarrassing. Cor- respondents for London newspapers here to revort the wedding, say they cannot understand why the King should have failed to join the procession. ——_ FELL FROM DOME OF CHURCH TO HIS DEATH.

Conductor Breese and Fireman Stahl were also slightly injured. The railroad men regard the escape from a disastrous wreck as little less than a miracle. ‘The Continental Limited left St. Louis at 9 o'clock yesterday morning and ran over the Webash Rairload to Buffalo, where it was turned over to the West Shore Railroad It was due in Wee- hawken at 3.20 this afternoon. ‘The train consisted of an engine and seven coaches, four of which were filled with passengers and which remained on} the track after the crash. ‘The noise of the collialon and the cries, of the jengers, who had es- caped good bout. ‘MCOWAN WON TD MAYOR, AWAY FROM MURPHY Break Comes in a Lively Board of Estimate “Scrap.” pass any injury other than shock, Wrought assistance from the neighbor- the viliuge of with titue. difficulty and at once began for the injured conductor and fireman of the train, How the engine crew escaped is a mystery, The impact caused the engine to gao rh In the alr and topple over on its side while the other cars went up over it.
