The toast to tho memory of the late queen will bo drunk by the company, standing, and the loving cup will bo passed. The king himself will do tho carving. After dinner, If the weather and Ico arc favorable, tho party wnl indulge In torchlight skating on tho Handringbam lake. Three Others Held to Be Accessors to .Indiana Murder. Rising Sun, Ind..
