BABY RUTH'S SISTER.

It is a Double Birthday in the Cleveland Family.

   WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—The weather has been misty and muggy to-day and the Sunday quiet about the White House even more intense than usual. There were a number of callers to inquire after the health of Mrs. Cleveland and the baby, and they were all informed that mother and daughter were doing well. Dr. Bryant remained at the house all day, but declined to see any one or to make any statement regarding his patient other than the general one given to inquirers at the door by the attendants in charge. Mrs. Perrine, Mrs. Cleveland's mother, arrived in Washington this morning and was at once driven to the White House. She will probably remain several weeks

   Sept. 9 is a memorable day in the Cleveland family for this is also the second anniversary of the birth of Baby Ruth and hereafter it will be observed as a double birthday.

   This is the first child born to a president in the White House, though there have been other births in the Executive Mansion. Of the babies who first saw the light of day in the old house, probably only two were living until this happy event added another. One is Mrs. Mary Emily Donelson-Wilcox, a daughter of Andrew Donelson, nephew of President Jackson and the private secretary and confidential adviser of "Old Hickory" during his entire official life, and the other is Julia Dent Grant, the first child born to Col. and Mrs. Fred Grant, and now a young lady just past sweet 16. Mr. and Mrs. Donelson had two other children born in the White House, which, with a grandchild of President Jefferson and another of President Tyler, complete the list.

Piled in a Heap.

   There was a slight runaway on the fair grounds this morning. Mr. B. M. Wheeler [Wheeler Avenue] had a two-horse team hitched upon a lumber wagon and was engaged in cleaning up the grounds. They got tired of standing and gave their driver the slip and went tearing across the grounds. Near the stables they collided with a top buggy belonging to Mr. D. Totman and were thrown down, and horses, lumber wagon and buggy were mixed up in an indiscriminate heap. Mr. Totman's horse was not attached to his buggy, but was in the stable, and he was at work on the grounds. Before the horses could get up they were captured. They were cut a little about their legs and the buggy was pretty badly smashed.
