And itis-Baid that neither the President nor his wife has any intention of pre termini ug this' observance in the executive mansion. |\ A novel wedding in Bichmond colored society took place recently at the church of Be v. John Jasper, the famous author of "De son do move" theory. The bride waited at the pulpit, while ten virgins with their IampB burning went down the aisle to meet the groom, who.stood at theN door. As they walked the IampB of five foolish virgins went out, whereupon they were summarily expelled from the build? ing, and were forced to stand on the pavement outside during the entire cere? mony. This, was, of course, according to the programme. Then the five wise vir? gins, whose lamps were burning bright? ly escorted the groom up the aisle, where he was met by the bride, while the choir sang, "Behold, the bridegroom cometh." . President Harrison was inaugurated in Washington last Monday, and the cere? mony was witnessed by countless thou? sands, gathered from every section of the United States. The day was an unfavor? able one, rain falling.the greater portion of the time. The President's inaugural . address was a lengthly one, and covered most of the important questions that are agitating the public mind. The address shows that he is a thorough party man, and that the new administration will be . in the interest of the Bepublican party. He says he will have no "Southern poli? cy," but yet he endorses the old cry of the Bepublican leaders in reference to the elections held, in the South. The address was a very able one, and now . that the President's utterances are before the people, we .will. have to wait, and see what is implied in them and to what : extent they are'fulfilled. ? A Senator in Disgrace. Washington, March 8.?Swaying to and fro in a beastly state of intoxication, ! Senator Biddleberger, of Virginia, made \ |a most unseemly exhibition this evening in the Senate Chamber before an audience composed of people from every part'of the Union. He had been very bitter all day against the presiding officer for refus? ing to recognize him to make a motion to go into executive sessiqn, and he an? nounced his intention to object to every bill offered. Finally his actions became unbearable and Vice President pro tern Iogalla . instructed Charley Johnson, of Minneapolis, who was reading the titles of the bill3, to .pay no attention to the irate Virginian. Fried with passion and liquor, Biddleberger persisted in rising to his feet and protesting against free speech being stifled. Despite the effort of Sena? tor Dawes and others to induce him to desist, his conduct became so unbearable that the sergeant-at-arms and a stalwart deputy were summoned and instructed to remove the nnrnly Senator at the first demonstration that he made. A confer? ence report was being read and the Vir . ginia representative made his usual ob? jection simultaneously. Col. Canaday seized him by the lapels of his coat and attempted to force him into his seat. BesistanceCbeing offered the deputy was summoned and he grabbed Biddleberger about the waist while Canady attended to the upper part of the body. In this un? dignified manner of the' disturber of Senatorial decorum was forcibly hustled . into a cloak room,' and despite his pro I testa- was kept under surveillance until the hour of adjournment. It was a dis? graceful episode and was a climax to a continued spree, which all decent people will regret. Two Children Frozen to Death. ?' A distressing occurrence is reported in Onslow County, near the town of Bich? lands, last week. On Thursday, two little boys, aged six and eight years, children of Mr. John Cottle, of that place, were sent by their mother with a bag of corn to feed some hogs in the woods near the house. The little fellows started on this mission just as the snow began falling, yet no uneasiness was felt, as they had frequently performed this duty, but towards evening as they had not returned and a violent snow storm was raging, great anxiety was felt for their safety. The neighbors were called upon to aid in the search for the little wanderers, and all that night and the next day nearly a hundred men and boys scoured the woods and fields for miles around, bot it was not until Saturday that the. dead bodies of the little boys were found by one of the searching parties in a tangled thicket only about a mile and half from their home. It is supposed that they were lost in the snow storm Thursday afternoon and wandered around until nightfall, when they were overcome by the cold and frozen to death. The bodies, when.found, were lying close to? gether. The youngest boy bad taken off one^of his shoes, and the other boy had the bag "containing the corn partially wrapped around his head and shoulders. Mr. Cottle, the father of the boys, was absent from home at the^time, being in attendance at* the fair in New Berne,? ; Wilmington Star. The Clevelands' Temporary Home. The Clevelands are going to live at the Victoria Hotel until Mrs. Cleveland has had time to. choose and secure a centrally situated house of her own. Col. Lamont --who becomes an officer in two or three railroads through the friendship of Sec? retary Whitney?and his wife will make the same hotel a more permanent home, because he is the father of an eight-week old baby and his wife cannot well go to housekeeping for some time to come. The Victorta Hotel is essentially a good and quiet establishment. It has a fixed set of patrons who come to it regularly whenever they are in town or who stay in it and make it their home. It has harbored other great folks. The very room3 set apart for Mr. and Mrs. Cleve? land were nsed by Queen Kapiolani when she came here not long ago on the thor? oughly wifely as well as diplomatic er? rand by which she sought to restore her royal spouse to the confidence and good esteem of onr people. The hotel is close to Madison Square, Delmonico's and the better class theatre shops. It is owned by Mrs. Para n Stevens, the widow and lega? tee of a rich New Yorker and the mother-, in-law of Capfc. Alfred Paget, a grandson of an English nobleman.?2\fao York Cor.

L -iJ The Grand Jury of Lanrens County in their presentment recommend the im? position of an annual road tax and the abolition of the unanimity requirement in [jury trials. CBJMES A*ND CASUALTIES. Mobeistown, Ind., Feb. 28.?Mrs. Isaac Kaufman chewed bo mach gam yes? terday that the muscles of her face became paralyzed, and she was compelled to send for a physician before she could opeu her mouth. Saratoga, Feb.25.?A romantic mar? riage was celebrated here last night, the contracting parties being Warren B, Westcott, aged 69, and Jane S. Trnman, aged 58 years. More than twenty-five years ago the parties were engaged. They were about to be married when Westcott fell in love with a widow and married her instead. A breach of pro? mise suit followed in which Mr. West? cott was compelled to pay damages. He was left a widower three years ago, when he retnrned to his former love. Auboea, III., Feb. 27.?Edward Artiz Bhot Kittie Palmer on the public street and within a few rods of her home . yesterday afternoon, inflicting a fatal wound. Artiz was her rejected lover, and had been repeatedly requested to refrain from paying attention to the girl, but he persisted in his addresses, and the matter culminated in the shooting. Artiz fled immediately after firing the shot, pursued by officers. After a three mile chase the murderer was sighted, but he continued running, and when his pursuers were but ten rods behind him he shot himself through the heart, drop? ping dead in his tracks. Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 27.?The story of a rather romantic suicide comes to the Herald, from Tuscaloosa, Ala. Some five or six years ago George W. Foster, a young lawyer, married Mrs. Belle Booth, a widow much his senior and famous all over the State for her beauty and grace. The couple, with Mrs. Foster's children by her first husband, removed to Anniston, where they lived happily until Mrs. Foster's sadden death some three years ago. The young hus? band then went back to Tuscaloosa, where he has since practiced law. Yes? terday, accompanied by his cousin, Mabel Foster, he went oat to the old cemetery where his wife was buried. When near the grave he requested his cousin to leave him alone for a few min? utes. Left to himBelf he placed a pistol to his head, blew his brains oat and fell lifeless acrosB his wife's grave. Ligonieb, Pa., Feb. 28.?About 7 o'clock last evening the house of Her? man Umberger, an aged farmer living ten miles east of here, near Jenners town, Somerest county, was entered by two masked men, claiming they had a search warrant for jewelry that had been stolen from a peddler in - the neigh hood a short time ago. Umberger inno? cently accompanied them through the house, and when he was forced to open a bunk containing $18,000, he placed the money in his pocket. They then ordered him, at the points of revolvers, to hand it over. This he strenuously objected to, when they fired five shots in his body, killing him almost instantly. They took the money and fled in the darkness. The aged wife witnessed the murder, but was too old and feeble to be of any assistance to her husband. The murderers are supposed to reside in the community. Great excitement prevails, and if the murderers are caught they will be lynch? ed. Jacksonville, Fla., March _ 2.? News has just reached here from Oneech ebeeof a bloody affray, among the Semin? oleIndians in the Everglades. "Jim" Young, a back, went crazy, and with a Winchester rille started out on the war? path through the camp and settlement. He first sent a bullet through the brain of Wanke Misco, a chief of the Miamis, killing him instantly. Ho next killed "Old Tiger." Then "Yonng Tiger, a son of "Old Tiger," and probably the finest Seminole living physically, stepped out of his wigwam just in time to see his father drop to the ground a corpse, and with a blood-curdling war whoop sprang on the maniac, and a hand to hand fight for the possession of the rifle followed. The "Young Tiger" was the superior' in strength, but was at the wrong end of the gun, and before he could wrest it from his antagonist he was shot dead, The maniac then killed two papooses of his Bister asd attacked the backs, squaws and children indiscriminately. He was finally cornered and shot dead by "Belly" another Seminole brave. In less than half an hour eight Indians were killed. St. Geobge, Ontabio, Feb. 28.?The bridge through which the St. Louis ex? press crashed last evening is sixty feet high, and is a substantial river structure, with massive atone piers. To avoid even the possibility of an accident, it was overhauled a week or' two ago. The accident was caused by a broken wheel. A heavy dining car broke through the iron trestle work only after the ties and other wood work had been stripped off by the car ahead. The dining car being constructed mostly of iron, it was almost impossible to force an entrance into its end, and the passengers were thrown to the bottom among a mass of broken tables and dishes. Upon the top of all this fell the cooking fnrnace in fall run? ning order. The danger of fire was imminent,#mt luckily the first thought of the rescuers was to prevent this still worse horror from befalling the poor victims crashed beneath the mass of debris. Mrs. Higgins of Toronto, one of the persona :ojured in the railway acci? dent near here last night, died this morn? ing. Miss Anderson of Belleville, MIbs McLeod of Ingersoll and Dr. Leqaeane fo Cleveland, Ohio, are all in very criti? cal condition, and their recovery is not expected. All of the others are pro? gressing nicely. In most cases friends of the injured have arrived and are giving them every attention. The inquest opened this morning. The evidence so far goes to show that the disaster was purely accidental and could not have been prevented. It is believed that the number killed reach thirty. Bemedy for a Cattle Disease. Peiyateee, Sumtes County, March 2.?Not long since Mr. J. S. Dwight no? ticed a curious disease among his cattle. The tongue had pimples on it, somewhat resembling wart seed on a human hand, and the disease seemed to affect the brain. As the disease progressed the cows were scarcely able to eat, and one of them died Mr. Dwight then pulled out and scraped their tongues, and on the scraped places he sprinkled salt and pepper. He had read ot this cure, and in this instance it proved successful, for the remaining cat? tle recovered. Mr. Dwight is thinking of writing to Agricultural Commissioner, A. P. Butler, on the subject. This remedy is a simple one, and if other farmers in the State have a disease like the above among their cattle it would be well for them to try this plan.?News and Courier, A Boom for Ramie in Georgia. It is probable that the cultivation of the ramie plant in Georgia will Bhortly b.e attempted on a large scale. Several well known gentlemen in Pittsburg, Pa., have organised a company under a char* ter and purchased a tract of land in Georgia. In our latitude three crops of Bteras a year can be harvested, and it is thought that the manufacture will be in full blast as soon as the building and machinery can be put up. The cotton belt is also the ramie belt, and is more extensive in this country than anywhere else in the world. The culture of the plant 1b not expensive, and only the cost Of separating the fibre has heretofore stood in the way of its development. The PittsburgerB have secured a machine call? ed a decorticator that will separate the fibre cheaper than it can be done in China, and with this machine the vexed problem of ramie manufacturing will be settled. This plant has been used for ages in Chi? na and other Eastern countries in the manufacture of a great variety of fabrics, some as fine and brilliant as Bilk. The woven material has been an article of commerce for centuries, and in Europe is used as a substitute for silk.?Atlanta Constitution. Marriage Under Protest. The Supreme Court of Michigan baa been called upon to Bay whether a cere? mony* performed under these circum? stances constituted a valid marriage. The girl charged her parents with forcing her into marriage with a man she did not want to wed. During the ceremony she told the Justice "if he tied the knot forty times it would not stay tied;" that she "did not like the man," and would not live with him. "They made me stand up," she continued, "and when I was asked whether I would take him to be my husband, I said 'No, I won't,' and on every question asked me that I ought to have answered 'yes' I said 'no' plain, and the next day I ran away." In spite of this very unusual conduct, the Justice calmly proceeded to pronounce the pair man and wife, with the customary con? gratulation, and the ceremony was held legal by the Circuit Court. The Supreme Court, however, says "a con? curring consent by two minds at the same instant" is essential to a legal marriage, and that the ceremony in this case was not valid because the girl did not consent to it. Northern Money Comes Sonth. Chattanooga, Feb. 28.?There has been consummated in this city one of the largest and most important real estate transactions in the history of the central Sonth. The Chattanooga Land, Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, owing 25,000 acres of land on the north and west side of the river opposite the city, embracing valuable coal deposits on Walden's Ridge, large iron ore mines and immense timber land,- has sold a controlling interest to a Boston, New York and Philadelphia syndicate. The consideration exceeds $1,000,000, and the erection of an iron railroad bridge across the Tennessee River, the building of a railroad to the top of Walden's Ridge and other extensive improvements will be be? gun immediately. The purchasers are headed by John W. Candler, a member elect of the 51st Congress from Boston. The syndicate includes a number of well known New England financiers. Everybody Can Go to New York. Geeenvillb, S. C? Feb.' 28.?Official information of the rates on railroads to the Washington inaugural centennial in New York, April 29th and 30th has just been received by Colonel James A. Hoy t, commissioner for that occasion from this State. For single tickets the fare will be one and one-half cents per mile traveled, or three cents for the round trip. For uniformed bodies of military, hot less than fifty on one ticket, the rate will he three quarters of a cent per mile traveled or one and a half cents for the ronnd trip. Col. Hoyt says the Governor and staff and the lieutenant Governor will go and probably the following military com? panies: Washington Light Infantry, Charleston ; Governor's Guards, Colum? bia ; Marion Rifles, Marion; Greenville Guards and Butler Guards, Greenville.? Correspondence of the Columbia Register. In Favor of a General Exodus. Charlotte, Feb. 26.?It is learned to? night that a movement is in progress among the negroes in this State to call a State Convention for the purpose of mak? ing arrangements and perfecting plans for a wholesale immigration to Arkansas, Mississippi, Lousiana and other States. It is said that the leaders of the movement will at an early day issue circulars call? ing the Convention at a designated point. The negroes claim that they have a right to leave, and say it is outrageous for the whites to frighten off the immigrant agents. This movement is looked npon with no small degree of alarm, and if the nogroesmeet in State Convention, it is I -very likely that there will be tronble. ? It is estimated that the present population of the United States is 64,000, 000. The total increase is said to be a 100,000 a month, exclusive of immigra? tion, and last year the increase by immi? gration was 518,000. At this rate the next censuB, which will be taken in July, 1890, will ahow about 67,000,000. LAND FOR SALE.
