A MURDER MYSTERY.
Sergt. Moss, of tho police force, to-night
made a discovery which may lead to the
uncovering of a bloody mystery. In a box
car loaded with lime, which catue in on tne
Richmond and Danville, he found a bundle
of bloody clothes, with every indica
tion that the articles hail been
stripped from a dead body and afterward
secreted in a car to hide a murder. The
liat Sad been pierced by a bullet, aud was
half full of bio and, the pants, coat and
shirt, which were also bloody, had
been ripped up the legs and sleeves
as if hastily removed when there
■was not time to strip them off the usual
■way. I here is no knowing where these
articles were placed on board, but t e car
was traced to tho extreme end of the Rich
jri .nd and Danville road.
THE ANNISTON AND ATLANTIC.
A railroad man. whose veracity is beyond
question, stated to-day that the rumored
purchase by the Louisville aud Nashville of
the Anniston and Atlantic, and the Annis
ton ad Cincinnati was certainly true. A
number of prominent railroaders have been
in the city to-day attending a meeting, in
■which all the southern tines wore repre
sented, the object being to effect a gen
eral system for quicker transportation
of freight, ana passenger cars, and to agree
on a plan for mutually furnishing fuller
information in regard to them. The meet
ing was informal, but an arrangement is
said to have been agreed on.
A TRAMP SERIOUSLY HURT.
Two tramps, Daniel Burke and James
McDor aid, attar making an. unavailing at
tempt to secure lodging at the station-house
to-night, tried a building in course of con
struction on Humphreys street with the
same view. Entering the house, Burke,
who preceded bis partner, attempted to
walk across the sleepers on a bit
of thin weather-boarding. The slight board
sagged beneath his weight and let him fall
through to the basement. As ho went
down his head struck a beam, aid he sus
tained other injur.es so serious that he is
thought to bo dying.
CONVICT DECLARED INSANE.
Jackson Bettis, the Whitfield county
forger,imprisoned at the Gravsville convict
camp, who was reported insane, has been
duly declared so by a jury who investigated
his case, and will be sent to the asylum as
soon asp ssible. Bettis is a young white
man. Since losing his mind he has exhib
ited a strange passion for tearing him-elf
with his teeth. He has bitten no one else,
but his own legs and arms he insists on
mangling whenever an opportunity pre
sents itself.

Hessian fly in the rye and barley at the farm.
The Hessian fly goes down into the bud of

very root, which causes it to wither aud die.
Elevator Etiquette.
From the Washington Post.
No gentleman ought to remove his hat in
an elevator. An elevator is not a parlor,
but is always a par: of the public hall; and
to see all of the men in it suatch off their
headgear when a lady enters is at once
amus.ng and preposterous. It is a sight,
moreover, which cannot be seen anywhere
on em th but in America. No gentleman in
Paris or in London or in Berlin would
think of doing such an audacious thing.
If gentlemen take off their hits ia depart
ment elevat rs they ought to remove them
in street cirs.
Elegance, Luxury, and Comfort.
Hotel Plaeide, Jacksonville, Fia., entirely
new. Most elaborately famished and best
equipped hotel in the city. American and
European plan. Passenger elevator and mod
ern improvements. Cuisiue exceptional, rates
liberal. F. M. ROGERS, Manager.

“Women are not only not half as bad a;
me ,’ ays the -ocial philosopher, “but they
are not half as bad as men think the n.”
And the social philosopher’s s >uud judge
moot is 1 oruc out probably by the observa
tion of moat me 1 and women of tho world.
It their “small vices,” how
ever, the two s>xes are getting to
be more aid more alike every and iy. The
woman who tipples is by no means as rare
ii New Yoric to-day as tne woman who
smoked cigirettei was ten years ago.
Drunken wo :.en an unusual sights exet-p'
in the slums. Tne tippling ma ron and tne
etiiiUar red mm 1 are to be seen any dav on
upp>- Fifth aven le, which is the Nov Y >rk
milliner's paradise; on Pw ny-third street,
between Hr ad vay aud Sixth avemjs, and
on the latter thoroughfare from Fourteenth
street up to Two it -fifth.
Tu- pirso .al advertisame ’t column of a
New York newspaper had an ago lizel sort
of paragraph a dav or two ag > in which a
woman of wealth legged for the return and
“no questions a-.ked,” of a gold-headed um
brella. Her name and address in full were
ou the handle, and the umbrella was an
expensive one; but that wasn't the reason
the owner was willing to pay so well for its
return. Ihe fact was that this a irareutly
useful article was one of the new P irisiaa
fancies, and bad a sherry flask deftly hidden
away in it. Tne gol i-rnounted umbrella
handle wasn’t as long as a man’s thirst the
day after a fea it, or “as deap as a wel ,”
but it held a half-pint of sherrv, or bra idy.
for that matt r, quite c infortably, and
there are plenty more such Paris.a l tancies
doing duty for fashionatla shoppers.
Having the fair owner’s name and ad
dress ou it, a suerry flask inside of it, the
combination was compromising enough to
induce her to offer a fat reward for it.
These umbrellas are not believe 1 to be on
sale here yet, but they are vastly amired
and higLly prized. Everybody knows what
oid fir ns umbrella handles have been
taking ou of la'o, some of them resembling
a toile.-box, some a golden calf, some a
book, some a dagger, a fa n’s horn, a seen:
b ittle, and what not. Tney are big enough
to accommodate in their hollow interior,
with ease, a half-pint aud over of their
owner’s favorite tipple. And it’s the worn
of a moment only to unscrew t e flask, take
a nip, return it to the umbrella handle and
go serenely on.
“Seven out of ten women who come hero
to be treated,” said Dr. Hamilton Burch, the
throat specialist in the free dispensary on
South Fifth avenue, “have wliat is called
‘smoker’s throat.’” That is a percentage
of smoki g women that seems positively
alarming to thoughtful students of the hu
manities. Throat specialists are of course
most likely of all medical men to detect
smokia r aud tippling w mien. Among the
better classes, who consult physicians and
who send for them to make fa inly visits,
the percentage of smoking women is of
course much smaller, say three in ten. But
nobody is so absurd nowadays as to say that
it is a crime for women to smoke. What
has this to do with tippling*
Just this: The smoking man generally
tipples; so does the smoking woman. The
odor of liquor of sime kind is perceptible
about the persons of the smoking women of
South Fifth avenue. Theodor of cautious,
the unsteady step, the flushed face, ami a
suspicious fondness for their umbrella
handles are perceptible about most of the
fashionable smokers of Fifth avenue proper.
It is absurd to say that a worn a can’t
smoko without drinking, but it is probably
accurate to sav that nine women out of ten
who smoko cigarettes are not averse to a
nip between meals, aud take it pretty reg
ula ly.
When you see the glistening neck of a
crystal flask, or the sturdier shoulders of a
reliable bottle peeping out from the velvet
lined pocket of a handsomely apDOinted car
riage or coupe, you may bo reasonably sure
that there is a dainty little silver or crystal
cup down at the botto n of that same
pocket, and that Mrs. Van Slamtnacken
Slas i. or Miss Pocklington Jones, knows
what’s good in the way of a pocket pistol,
and likes it, too. The tippler’s coupe is a
recognized pattorn of vehicle now. Ask
Brewster if lie knows the brand and
he’ll say no; that it’s none of his
business what his customers put in their
carriage pockets. But some of the quieter
shops on Sixth avenue curious stories
could bo told of the pockets made specially
for tipplers’ coupes, and equipped, regard
less of expense, with brandy, sherry, ab
sinthe and chartreuse; of how Mrs. A’s
monogram adorns two pi it flasks in chased
silver made to fit into that pocket,
and how Mrs. B has actually had a little
locker made iu the front of her coupe, and
keeps a half-dozeu bottles, a lump of ice,
hard crackers and bonbons besides iu it!
The New Yorker who keeps his eyes open in
the shopping district or on the avenue or
in the park needn’t wait long to spot tip
plers’ coupes.
For the purpose of prosecuting a study of
this kind a young New Yorker soma days
ago hired a sec lid-story front room on
Fifth avenue, and sat at tho window from
11 o’clock a. m. tiilti o’clock p. m. watching
tho doors of the swell bonnet shop just across
tho street. That there were tipplers’ coupes
in abundance there should need no asser
tion ; there were. But if there had Jt been,
tho pretty creatures in their rustling silks
and voluptuous velvets needn't have gone
thirsty. They knew the way to the side
board in a curtained alcove in the ronr
room of that bonnet.shop, as w lias the man
tippler knows the way to his favorite art
gallery. They knew 'what they’d find on
tho miilner’s sideboard, too—vie ly, and ice
in a bowl of hammered silver, brandy,
Jamaica rum, sherry, a half-doze i cordials’
a sandwich or two, a piatoof water crackers,
and a dish of olives.
Most of the fashionable milliners keep a
decanter of sherry and a biscuit for the
refreshment and delectation of their best
customers; the milliner’s sideboard, how
ever, is comparatively new in New York,
an i, like the brandy-flask umbrellas, is of
Parisian origin. Laities have been kuowti
to faint aft r a long seige at trying on new
dresses, and dressmakers found ic advisable
to have a dash of spirits handy to revive
their overcome customers in an emergency.
Once introduced for such emergencies,
smart women have never found any d.fll
cuhy in making emergencies to lit tue
milliner’s s deboard and the dressmaker's
spirit decanter.
Drinking at dinner is a matter of course
for many women of the world, and, as such,
is u matter for their physicians and their
pocket-books. Tippling bet, weeu meals, re
sorting to well-known milliners sh ips to
get a gloss of dry sherry, taking a flask -.f
cordial along for tho afternoon drive iu
Central park, walking boldly up to tue
milliner’s sideboard, keeping bar iu a:i
elaborately upholstered carria re—these are
diversions of a different color, and their
spread in New York, eveu their tolera ee
hero, must furnish food for thought.
The vouug man who sat all day opposite
an aristocratic bonnet shop on Fife i ave
nue was rewarded toward afternoon bv
seeing a box of pints carried m aud a be
fuddled woman almost carried out. The
lady might have been ill, aud her tottonug
step mignt have been due to sudde i indis
position. but they weren’t any thiug of the
kind. There was a gleam of jollity in her
eye and a flush of brandv in her cheeks, a ;d
she told “Thomas” to drive her a bit iu the
p.rk before goiug home. She needed a
bracer and sheknew it,and went tothe park
l r a few draughts of the “eager nip
ping air.”
LADIES TURNED MILLINERS.
The number cf w omen of social positi n
who have of recent years gone int> tr. and •
has infused a more distinctively sport vo
element into the shopping aud shopkeeping
side of woman’s fife, and a very important
side it is, too. If Mrs. Langtry, for ex
ample, were to lose all her money, and
turn milliner sbeYi sell stacks of bonnets to
s ci-ty people and ali s >rt< of people, who
wou! igo to her from curiosity. Her shoo
would no and übt do one of the tastiest in
town. But, c intinuing tne hypothesis,
which everybody ho os, or should hope,
would never became an actuality, Mrs.
La gtry as a niiUinr would undoubtedly
retain tho ta-t sand to some extent the
t.abi.sof Mrs. Langtry, the rich woman of
tlO world aud ac.ress. Tne Jersey Lily’s
fondness for a lemon .-quasn is well known
to her i .ti nat s; as a milliner she would
undoubtedly be apt to have a lemon squash,
which is indeed a moat ini oesnt and praise
worthy drm : of tie ’’softest” c u.u-acte ■,
served now und then in the back parlor of
her shop. If sue had lemon squashes why
shouldn’t her customer?
And if tho Marchioness Bonze, a festive
woman of t ie wo: Id, who lued gin sling;,
for example, should lose her mo ey an i be
come a milliner and go on liki g gin slings,
it would be quite natural for her cud >iner;
to have gi i siiugs, and after a while any of
them who wanted a gi i sling with an unob
trusive but positive yearning would get into
tho habit or going to the Marc .ioness of
Bouze’s bonnet shop to get tha shnr,
whu.her she wanted a bonnet or nut. “The
fine ladies who haw gone i.ito our trade
have demora’.izxl it,” said a well-known
New York modiste a day or two ago, “and
the ‘mil.iaer’s sideboard’ of which y hi as t,
and of Which lam fee to say I nave heard
a good deal, is one result of this introduc
tion of ans. cratic habits into the trad ■.
Of c rarso there are two kinds < f women
who tipple—tha rich and tho very poor.
The middle classes are not addicted io drink
ing between meals or at meals either, for
thnt matt-r, in this coun rv.
“I’m uot saying tnat tne ladies who go
into trade to make a living haven’t a perfect
right to do so, aud that many of them are
u t entirely estimable persons. But then
are responsible for the ‘mi liner’s sideboard.’
Look at Mrs. Basse : t, for instance, the s well
Englishwoman, gra iddaughter of Sir Jere
miah Homfray, who has just ope el a mil
linery store in New York. S e ha; a toa
served to h.-r customers. That’s very nice,
and a very popular thing to do, but the
distance from tea to ’cold tea’ in a milliner’s
back parlor is not so great that some of
Mrs. Bassett’s rivals may not go to serving
the latter before long. You see women take
to millinery as ducks to waters. O.ie of the
young Fri iCe-ses of Wales was taught our
trade—you know roy 1 families have the
girls taugot to ‘do’ something—aud Miss
Amy Hewitt, who is now Mrs. Norviu
Green, served a six month’s apprenticeship
in millinery. Mrs. William Astor’s young
est daughters were taught lace-making and
embroidery, and one of tue.ii is said to be
able to turn out with her own hands a;
pret y a bonnet, if she wants to do it, as she
ca i buy on my shelves. The Princess de
Sagan i; a milliner. You have only io
look at tue s gus on Fifth a enue to see
tint, and the number of ti led wouio i who
have, at one time or another, in Paris or
London, gone into the business is sira >ly
astounding. I’m not blaming them, either,
you understand. But lam saying tha. it is
the introduction of this element into the
business that has brought about the ‘milli
ner's sideboard.’
“Do I ever notice the odor of liquor rr of
wiue on ray customer's breath? Certainly I
do. And the perfume of their Tnrkish
cigarettes is Very familiar, indeed, to me.’
“Women gamble at Long Branch and at
Saratoga, and the gambling woman is
nearly always a tippler. Tippling has been
an attendant of gambling ever since the old
days when John Chamberlin and John
Morrissey ran rival gambling houses here,
and Chamberlin set out for hi; pa rons—he
ha; since beco :ie a hotel man, you know—
a free lunch that b th in its soli i and liquid
feature; was gorgeous. It is a free lunch of
that kind that catches woman every time,
and I shouldn’t lie a bit surprised if the
modiste3 all had free lunches going bef ire
very long to bait customers wi h if the
competition g esou increasing and fa hion
able women continue to go iut > trade.”
Story after story has been written aoout
the heiresses aud million heiiessas who go
to get “lunch” and “a bottle,” or a “fizz,”
or vermouth, at a famous :’Oifectio.iary ii
tho great hotel block bounded bv Twenty
third and Twenty-fourth streets a id Br iad
way. “If the women choose to tipple with
their sweetmeats whose business is it, deah
boy?” There lias been a great deal of ex
aggeration about the stories of “dru iken
women of fashion” and lunches that con
sisted of a ladyfinger and a magnum of
wine. But that such a conf ctionery exists,
aud that women of the world go there and
get drinks at s nail tables in the back room,
there is no doubt. “Why shouldn't thev?”
say the proprietors; “they could go to Del
mo nico’s, or the Brunswick, or M >unt St.
Vincent, or Dorlon’s, or Clare's, and order
all they want.” And so, forsooth, they can
and do.
Among the millinery shops at which
refreshments of some kid or another are
openly handed to the customers are these:
Lanolet e’s, Redfern’s, Kata Reilly’s and
Louisa & Co.’s. The names of those placas
where more concealment i> m ide of the
refreshment practice are legion. Even the
man-cures and chiropodists have got to the
sideboard stage.
