TESTEEDAI'S XEWS IN COUNTY COURTS The arguments for a new trial in the case of Lucy R. Fitzsimmons, convicted of mur der in the second degree for-complicity in the killing of Detective Gilkinson, was heard by Judge Eving yesterday, Messrs. Marshall and Challinor in favor of the mo tion and District Attorney Burleigh and John S. Robb against it. In answer to the argument Judge Ewing said that he went into the trial believing that the Common wealth was wrong, but the evidence satisfied him that it was right and justified a second degree verdict. The Court held that Sirs. Fitzsimmons was a very smart w oman, but was unfortunate in many respects, and the Court's sympathies were with her, but there was no doubt that she knew her hus band's business. The Court then took the papers. Mrs. Fitzsimmons was in court during the argument dressed in black, and when Judge Ewing referred to her as being an unfortu nate woman, she shook her head mournfully nd wept SHOBT WOEK IN C0U3T.

Ho Is Accused With Attempting to Blow Cp n Court House Willi Dynamite. "Wasiiixgtox, Ixn., Oct 16. The al leged shortage of County Auditor Lavalle, and the burning of the county records, are still the subject of much talk. Xobody knows or can give any idea as to the amount of the shortage. Experts have been examin iBg such of the records as were not destroyed, and enough testimony, it is said, was found to show that Lavalle had been very free with the school fund. There ought to be S97,000 repre sented bv mortgages on property twice its value. Two thousand dollars in cash is left of the fund in the Treasurer's office, but f i'j.000 is not accounted for to the satisfac tion of the examiners. Some of the incum brances have been paid to Lavalle and are not released on the records. Heavy sums, it is said, have been traced xlirectly to La valle himself. It is doubtful if all the facts w ill ever be known. At the freight depot a wooden box snipneu oy express to .lames j. ljavaiic, Washington, Ind., from Chicago, was ojiened and found to contain a dynamite cartridge S inches long and 5 inches in diameter. It was loaded and a fuse at tached all ready for use. The box was re ceived here since the fire. Lavalle, it is said, first intended to blow up the Court House records and all, and Harbin and Eedgerwood say such was the cae. The cartridge, however, did not get here in time, and oil was used "in its stead. Lavalle refused tore ceipt for the box when it came, claiming that it was an infernal machine sent by icrsonal and political enemies intended for lis destruction. He claims that he is the victim of a plot. The man who shipped the dynamite cartridge to Lavalle says he sent it on his request, and that the letter of re quest, dated October 5, will reach here to day. ETJMOES OF A SUICIDE. The Victim Is Said to Be a Yonnc Girl Who Bobbed a Schoolmate. Southampton, Mass., Oct. 1G. Miss Laura S. Prcsbrey, one of the wealthiest and brightest students of Smith College, was detected in the act of robbing one of her college mates "Wednesday, and now has disappeared under circumstances that point to suicide. For some time the students had been missing small snm, aud on Monday the girl Mas detected taking money from the jiocketbook of a classmate. She was sum moned before the President, and finally broke down and acknowledged the theft. She said she did not know why she did it, as she had plenty of money of her own, and her lather never stinted her in anything. She was requested to meet the President that afternoon at T o'clock, when it was supposed her father would be on hand, but when he came she had disappeared. In her room was found a note, addressed to her father, saying she could not live through her disgrace, and intimating that she would commit suicide. LATE NEWS IX BRIEF.

Sleeves Are Subsiding- and Headgear is Father Grotesque. WHAT DRESSY WOMEN MUST STDDL Are we to have our winter now or are we to have another taste of summer? Is the weather going to be have itself, - is it going to give us a taste of hot days and a taste of cold days, alternating them with great impar tiality all the year round? Perhaps the weather, instead of changing, is going to make us accustom ourselves to variety. After a few years of this varied experi ence, we shall set tle down quite com fortably to having dog days in Decem ber and piercing winds in August. But there is an other solution, says the New York Ad vertiser. "Who knows but that the world l' has been frightened at something which is happening up in the planets, and ha9 jumped back, star That Velvet Cloak. tled, taking us who are its inconsequent in habitants back in June when we should be enjoying October. "Whether to wear one's velvet cloak, trimmed with fur, or one's challie is a mooted question. To be per fectly safe, put on the challie and. hang the cloak over your shoulders. During the first hour you may be comfortable so. An hour after you may wish to hang the eloak over your arm, and, in still another hour, you may find it comfortable tightly hooked up at the neck and waist. A strange fever threatens us. It may be known as the black fever. It is serious only because it affects the mind. It has not yet had any influence upon the body save through the medium of the mind. The black lever shows itself in the gowns worn by women. A strange, odd, weird fad has come up for wearing black. In the fashionable world one finds women who do not buy colors at all clothing themselves from head to foot in somber garments. In the summer, when the sun shines upon these, it is all very well, but in the winter it is trying, gloomy and depressing. It is said that a full suit of black will produce the blues quicker than anvthing else. Strange to sav, that, as the wearing of black becomes fashionable for poople who are uot in mourning, it is becoming less fashionable for those who are. This is accounted for on the ground that people who are depressed by circumstances should wear bright colors to relieve their feelings, while those who are in need of no such cheer may wear what they please. It is so English to wear one's summer clothes late in the fall, that it is not an alto gether novel sight to sec a woman upon a wintry day with light clothing But summer has lingered so long iu the lap of autumn that dresses w hich are not very heavy are found to be much more com fortable than the heavier weights. A flower dress is not an impossibil ity for the street. The material should, of course, he green nature's own color, and the most becoming one ever worn by wo man. AH the wav down the front, from the collar to the hem of the skirt, should go an embroider v of leaves and simple flower designs. The October Flower Goicn. same embroidery should be repeated upon the sides. "With a hat plentifully trimmed with flowers and a bunch of flowers in the hand, October's flower dress is quite as pretty as the lighter, daintier one of mid summer. Fur and feathers, velvet, chiffon and lace are all used to decorate dinner gowns of cloth. These gowns, notwithstanding the apparent unsuitableness of their material, are very rich and effective, and as they are made in light colors, shades of beige, old rose and lavender being favorites, they are not so heavy in appearance as one would think. The bodice of such a gown is high, and lias long sleeves. The back is either finished in coat style or is tucked beneath the waistband of the skirt, under cover of a girdle of velvet. The skirt is of the prevail ing bell shape, with long demi tram, bordered by a band of fur or coque feathers. Miss Millington Lathbury. who gained for herself great distinction at Oxford a short time since, is delivering free lectures at the British Museum. The subject of her first is to he Greek dress, and Miss Lathbury is to have a lay figure to assist her. The figure will be clad in those flowing robes which are the dream of every tall, graceful woman, but which cannot be worn by short ones. The subject of the second lecture is no less in teresting. It is marriage and life of the women in ancient Greece. The third treats of Greek ideas of death, and Greek funeral costumes. Miss Lathbury is pretty and has a sweet voice. So she is pretty sure to be a public success. Although velvet plays such an important part in millinery this season, felt shapes are very fairly" represented, and will as usual be worn when plainness and simplic ity are desired. Some of the new shapes are sho.vn in beaver in all the leading A Tvecd Suit, Sack and Front. shades of golden brown, myrtle green and ) Kg! corn-flower blue. These are the most suit ablv trimmed with the double-laced satin ribbon which is now so fashionable, as its lustrous finish consorts better with the smooth surface of satin than with velvet, which would look dull in contrast. Sleeves are undergoing a process of re duction from the extreme height upon the shoulders, which they at one time attained, and are now made much lower, but make up in width what they lack in height. The width is carried to the elbow, where in the latest designs for morning costumes it is met by a tight fitting cuff, usually of velvet, buttoned on the inside of the arm with close rows of small velvet covered bottons. The effect produced is as of close fitting under-sleevcs beneath the flowing upper sleevas. Are we going baclc to the old barbaric days when war paint and feathers in pro fusion were considered the art and acme of good dressing? It would seem so. Feathers, feathers, feathers galore are used upon womeu's garments, and now the latest ad vices sav that there are to be ostrich feather s'leeves in evening dresses. This seems hardlv possible. Every one admires a plump arm, and no one admires a thin one. But who could possibly admire an arm out of all proportion with the rest of thebodv? And such would surely be the case if the flufiV ostrich tips are sewn upon net or foundation lace and made up into sleeves. Nearly all things arc now worn en suite. Many of the new tailor jackets have a tiny breast pocket for the handkerchief, which must be very small, sheer and dainty.witha J$ The Jiy .al-Aft Style, border matching the gown or its trimming, and so arranged that three corners barely peep out one beyond the other, like the petals of a bursting rose.

PEEPING TOM AND LADY GODIVA- An Ancient Kernel Entirely Surrounded by a Modern Shell. . ITS THREE VENERABLE STRUCTURES rCORRESPOXDENCE OT TIIE DISPATCH. Coventry, Encji-and, Oct. 5. The pertinacity with which a single fact, belief or legend from bygone times finds lodgment in the minds of men, and eventually be comes a bulwark of local pride and power as well as a subject of universal interest is nowhere in Britain more strikingly illus trated than in this ancient city of Coventry. Every well-known Old World place has its greater or lesser shining beacon of splendid fact or myth to which the tourist, like a mariner.directs his often tempestuous way. Blarney has its "stone." Belfast its spinning mills and historic places of riot. "When Gad's Hill is mentioned, we see Dickens and all his wondrous brood of ten der creation. Yarmouth is simply where the "Peggottys" dwelt. Kewstead only re calls Byron. Abbottsford, Melrose and Dryburgh tell more than all else of Sir "Walter Scott. Xaseby and Culloden mean the dethronement of one king and the ut ter obscuration of a heroic prince and his glorious house. Gloucester recalls the ori gin of the Sunday school. Kcnilworth re veals the revelries of Elizabeth. Eugby suggests everything wholesome and good in schoolboy lite. One sees in the mere words of Dumfries or Ayer the radiant face of "Bobby" Burffs. WHAT COVENTRY RECALLS. And Coventry has for 800 years meant, and will forever solely suggest Lady Godi va and peeping Tom. Kor does it matter whether these personages and the curious drama in which they are placed by popular and historic belief as actorB were fact or fiction. The warp and woof of it are set so firmly in the texture of romance, ballad and song, that even a Cromwell of literature would meet but ignominy and defeat in at tempts to raze these splendid clusters of tradition and drive from them their loved recluses df tender conceit. Everyone has lingered with infinite charm upon the continued tale of how Then she rode forth, clothed on with chastity; And one low churl, compact of thankless earth, The fatal bvword of all years to come, Boring a little nuger-holo in fear, Peeped but his eyes beforo they had their will. AVere shrlvell'd into darkness in his head. And diopt before him. So the Powers, who wnit On noblo deeds, cancel a sense misused. How or when this "one low churl, com- Eact of thankless earth" was first made the orrid antithesis of Lady Godiva's noble sacrifice, or why the honest vocation of a tailor was called upon to supply a culprit, no man can tell. But sure it is that "Peeping Tom," whose pseudonym will continue for all time as type of execrable aud insufferable inquisitiveness, was none other than a tailor and that all these ter rible things happened to him In ancient Coventry. EFFIGIES OF PEEPING TOM. "Worse shame than all other to Peeping Tom are his appalling remaining effigies. They are countless here in Coventry in stone, in wood, in delft, in porcelain, in wax; while the very school boys are eter nally testing new jackknives upon grotesque imitations of the repulsive object. The thing leers at you from niches above ancient .buildings; seems to crane its head from the cornices of new and old hotels; shows its horse-like teeth from among shop window trifles, and haunts and pursues you until you are startled to see its lineament repro duced in the faces of tramps and beldames in shadowy quarters of the musty old town. Truly the Peeping Tom you will find everywhere in Coventry is a dreadful tra vesty upon the human form and face. They have put his trunk and chest in armor. He is made a man of arms as well as shears, with a military cocked hat decked with a huge rosette. His face is wide, square and white. The eves are Brobdignagian in size and possess a leer both sanctimonious and repulsively suggestive. His bearded chin looks like the mirage of a 6avage flame. And the mouth, as wide as a cow's, discloses a ghastly row of gravestone teeth. If this luckless wight has been merely a popular embodiment of evil as opposed to good, Lftdy Godiva certainly existed in the flesh. LADY GODIVA IN LIFE. She is a historic character of authentic certification. She was sister to Thorald, Sheriff of Lincolnshire, and wife of Leofric, Earl of Mercia, a prime favorite of Edward the Confessor, and in his time at the head of various great state transactions. Both history and tradition unite in honoring Lady Godiva with the possession of unusual piety, goodness and beauty. The devout pair certainly founded here a great monastery lor ienedictine monks, which attained enormous wealth and splen dor, suffered strange vicissitudes, passed into silence and decay, and massive vestiges of its remains are still seen on the banks of the river here. Leofric died at Bromley, Staffordshire, but was buried in one porch of the monas tery at Coventry; while his wife who at her death gave a "rich chain of precious stones to put around the neck of the blessed Vir gin's image, so that those who came of de votion thither would say as many prayers as there weVe several gems within," was given burial in the other. This much for history and historical tra dition. Literature and art, sometimes more powerful and incisive than history, have done the rest,' t-Coventry is not a vefy large city, containing barely 50,000 inhabitants; but some of its quarters are very ancient and picturesque. The wonderful spires of its churches, especially of Trinity and St. Michael, the latter being 303 feet in height, add much interest to the old city. A MECCA TOR PILGRIMS. Then in the old days of monasteries, Cov entry was noted for its pilgrimages from France. Later, Parliaments were held with in it. The pageants of kings and queens to the pious city nave equaled the most splen did processions at ancient Canterbury. Great jousts and tournaments were held here. The old city walls were three miles long, nine feet thick, and were surrounded bv 32 lofty towers. The old-time Cross of Coven try gave the place a certain fame. Mary Queen of Septs was for a long time impris oned here in the Mayoress' parlor of St. Mary's Hall, still standing, though more than" 500 years old. All these, and countless more, things of exceeding interest develop and charm all Tiilgrims here; though the cen tral figures which originally attract them all are radiant Godiva and rascally Peeping Tom. One's first impressions of Coventrv are disappointing. JFroin a score of miles away its beautiful spires are visible and are en chantingly suggestive of antiquity and re pose. Hearing the city it rises from a mo notonous champaign country, little wooded, and with an unpleasant red of the clavey soil checkering the fields and outlining'the rather lonesome and hedgelcss adjacent highways. Entering the city from anv direction, modern streets bordered with modern houses hint of a sponging out of all the old nooks. QUAINT NOOKS OF THE TOWN. But once well into High street, to the right and left, in every direction and in in terminable maze are narrow thoroughfares winding and interlacing in quaint and charming confusion. Godivas and Peeping Toms begin to smile and glower upon you from every niche and window. TTp there to the right runs a narrow street. Your impulse leads you thither. Not an hundred yards more and down to your left opens one of the most characterful thorough fares in Europe. It is Butcher's Bow. You ins'antlv step from the nineteenth to the sixteenth century. A day's loitering would be a ply rewarded here. Just behind its ramshackle old houses, are perhaps primeval trees fringing a shadowy close, into -which are huddled the churcjies of St. Michael's and Trinity. All about them is almost un recorded age in architecture. Half-timbered houses, two, three, four and five cen turies old, crowd around the place in all manner of angles and fantastic facades. At the corner of Hay lane and Barley lane, just where the fine old picture is mel lowest as you look back upon the half verdure-covered masses of angles and carv ings, stands a 300-year-old inn, restored in its zigzag pattern of oak and mortar, black and lavender paint and overhanging stories, that the visitor mav know how the old town looked when its builders had left their work spick-and-span in the glory of first comple tion. AN HISTORIC BUILDING. A little beyond, its low, white front a mass of crumbling carving, stands one of the most interesting structures of a former age in England. This is St. Mary's HalL The other, to me, most fascinating spot in Coventry is Ford's Hospital iu Gray Friar's Lane, an almshouse for old, old women. There are many, many other structures most rare and curious here; among them St. Michael's Church, over which even a Haw thorne could be warmed into exclaiming: "So old, yet enduring; so huge, so rich." Trinity Church, with its pulpit accounted "the very finest in the kingdom;" and Bond's Hospital, a remarkable structure, founded nearly 400 years ago as a home for aged men. As nearly as can be ascertained by an tiquarians, the date of St. Mary's Hall is between 1400 and 1425. 'It is therefore nearly 600 years old. The ancient guilds of Coventry were famous for their wealth and stupendous hospitality, and this hall was the gathering place for the united guilds. It stands entire, just as it was built. It is also remarkable as being one of the few places of public interest to which strangers are admitted in England where a fee is not demanded or expected. That alone makes one fond of the splendid an tique. Its entrance is opposite St. Michael's-Church. AN ANCIENT HOSPITAL. Only a little way from St. Mary's Hall down a narrow wynd called Gray Friar's lane, is found Ford's Hospital, an early and unique specimen of architecture pre vailing in the early part of the sixteenth century. The entire front is covered with the richest of wood carving. Three huge and canopied gables project from the second story. A wide low carved archway leads to a long narrow court, open to the sky, whose sides are wholly composed of carved sup ports and frames set with countless tiny panes. Thirty old women are iu the charity. Sixteen are housed here in its 16 quaintest rooms to be found in the British Isles. The entire structure stands precisely as it was built 364 years ago, and is absolutely untouched by inno vation. The 16 housed hospitalers receive each per week 4 shillings, free washing and physician's attendance, and, annually two tons of coal. They cook their own food, and come and go at will. Those living out side receive the allowance, and all are given 6 shillings and 8 pence per annum for snuff. Potted flowers, loud-ticking clocks and pur ring cats aro noticed in each room. The garden wall behind is part of the old city walls and is pierced for cannon. Each hospitaler is alloted a separate bit of ground 10 feet wide and 20 leet long for a "gar den." A REMINISCENCE OF MRS. NOON. I was shown one upon which aged Mrs. : Noon was bestowing the night of her dim old life. It was a marvel of neatness and luxuriance; filled with candy tuft, field corn flowers, a few rose bushes, some mint and mignonette, several varieties of ferns and a wealth of Aaron's rods with their gaudy yellow blooms. "Ah, yes," said Mrs. Bainbow, the brisk matron, at parting, "we has what ye might call a comfortable Jot jess now; but some times," this with a sigh of commendable toleration, "it's a proper mm lot, a proper rum lot, as you'll find I has to care fori" Edgar L.

There are new complications in the scandal caused by the elopement of Mrs. Joseph Maillard, of San Anselmo, with her hus band's hired man, Ingram. The Bev. J. M. Smith, of Eureka, where Mrs. Maillard is now living in a woodcutter's rude cabin, has arrived here. He comes with a propo sition from the wife that she will leave Ingram if her husband will give her 55,000 of her separate estate, which she loaned him some time ago. To the clergyman she told of her love for the hired man. She took long walks to reduce her flesh, and it was on these tramps she met Ingram and had talks with him. One day she dropped her handkerchief and both stooped to pick it up. As their heads touched Ingram looked into her eyes and in a moment had clasped her around the waist and their lips met in a kiss. Mrs. Maillard confessed frankly she had never loved her husband, and that she would be glad when he secured a divorce. Public sympathy is with the Maillards in their trouble, xhey come ot an old French stock, and Joseph Maillard's mother is a sister of Julia "Ward Howe. "Why a woman like Mrs. Maillard should leave her beautj ful home and two pretty children because of her infatuation for the poor farm hand is something no one has been able to explain. She says if Ingram deserts her she will kill herself. The Y. M. C. A. "Winter Entertainments.

IT IS ELECTRICITY That Appean as Foworfal Agent for the Curing of Disease. The SciEaTiirio Uses o Electricity Below we give a few examples of the beneficial ef fects of electricitywhen skillfully and scien tifically applied, aided by the rational ad ministration of the proper medicines. Ix PuLMOSAitY Cox80Mmox Pulmonary consumption affords a fine example of a battle for life between the blood corpuscles from within and tho disease germs from without with tissues sodden with catarrhal secretions as the battlefield. It is a fact well demonstrated that the most effective enemv to the germ of this disease is the eleo tric current acting upon tho nervous tissue, stimulating the vaso motor system which controls the organs of digestion, assimilation and absorption. Pure rich blood is always the result of healthy nervous power. The Faixact of Toxics It may now be taken as definitely settled that iron, potash, manganese and other so-called tonics have a direct deleterious effect in this disease. Instead of these drugs the organic system needs rest and regenerative force by means of gently stimulating the depressed nervous system by electrical treatments. All other treatment ultimately fails. This, followed faithfnllyand perseveringly, slowly but sure ly succeeds. By treating the consumptive patient and building up his vitality it ena bles him to overcome the disease. Nervous Diseases aicd Geseral Debility. In the treatment of nervous diseases and general debility electricity demonstrates again its restorative powers. Here it is not the stimulating action of the remedies usually classed as tonics that is needed. The organic powers of the system are already taxed to their utmost ability to .carry on tho physiological processes of life. Electricity gives the much needed effect in these conditions not that of a stimulant uy irritation, to be followed by a depressing reaetion but that of a true nutriment to the starving tissues. Its tonic effects are permanent ns they are the effects of a richer blood supply, bringing healthy food and oxygen to the tissues. Thus the patient is gradually brought up to his normal condi tion. IW COUVAlESCEKCE, WASTIWO DISEASES, ETC. In convalescence from acuto diseases elec tricity should be used to insure rapid con valescence and to escape the liability to the establishment of chronic diseased condi tions. As a ready oxygenator of the blood, and as a tonic and pure reconstructive of Ill-nourished tissues, many other Indications for its nse will suggest themselves to the physician, following out the idea of Its phy siological action. Thns one can readily see tne reasons for its efficacy in rickets, maras mns, wnsting discharges, debility and many other diseases characterized by malnutri tion or lowered vitality. In neuralgia, sciatica, rheumatism, con gestions and conditions of nervous excite ment, of sensitiveness of any description, electricity gives relief and permanent bene fit with a magical promptitude and direct ness, and all the time causing little or no sensation beyond a gentle stimulation and warmin. It is generally supposed by the unin formed that the amount of sensation pro duced by an electric battery is the measure of the good done by the current. This is a great mistake, as electricity should never be applied In sufficient force to "shock" any one. A galvanic battery will. In the usual method of applying, produce com paratively little sensation, and yet, under the intelligent direction of a physician, the galvanic current will work cures in cases and forms of disease which tne more stirring and nerve exciting faradio current is totally unfit for. The galvanic current is a steady and uniform flow of electricity in one direc tion, mild, soothing and tonic in its effects. "I had as severe an attack of sciatic rheu matism as ever anyone had. I was taken down about June 1, and suffered tortures," says Mr. David W. Spenser, of Sunnyside, Westmoreland county, Pa. I heard of the 3& Mr. Spenser. skill of Dr. Davis and the other physicians in charge of the Electropathic Institute, of 507 Fenn avenue, and as soon as I could pos sibly be .moved was taken there for treat ment.

He had belching of gas from his stomach after eating, sour taste, and often folt like vomiting his food. His appetite was poor, and as his liver was much en larged it gave him great pain. In fact, he would often be taken -with such sharo cramps and pain across his stomach and bowels it seemed as if he could not live. Ha had palpitation of tho heart, dizziness, -weakness and pain across the small of his back and a numb, lifeless feeling In his limbs. He could gee but llttlo sleep, and as every change of the weather gave him cold, he took on a lingering cough. His breath became short and he felt pain and sore ness in his lnmrs and under his shoulder blades. Night sweats weakened him very fast, and he gradually grew worse un til ho lost 30 pounds ot flesh.
