Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland Leave [minedi ately on :i Wcddiniy Tour. Washington. Juue 2.?President Cleveland was married to Miss Folsom at 7.25 this evening. About half-past 0 o'clock the wedding guests began to arrive, their carriages robing up to the main door of the mansion through the great iron gates on Pennsylvania Avenue. The first "arrival was Secretary Lamar. at G.27. He was closely followed by the Rev. Dr. Sundeiland aud wife, aud during the next few minutes there came in quick succession Postmaster General Yilas and wife, and Wilson S. Bissel, Esq., (Mr. Cleveland's former law part ner in Buffalo), Secretary and Mrs. Whitney and Secretay Manning and wife. Removing their wraps in the state dining room all the guests proceeded to the Blue Room where they were receiv ed by Miss Kose Cleveland. For a few minutes the guests chatted gaily, but the conversation was quickly suspended at 7.15, wheu the. selected orchestra from the Marine Band, stationed m the cor ridor, struck up the familiar strains of the Wedding March from Mendelssohns' '?Midsummer Night's Dream," and ill! eyes were turned to the doorway to catch the first glimpse of the coming bride and groom. . Starting from the Western corridor on the upper floor, the President came slowly down the Western staircase with Ins bride, leaning on his arm. They were unaccompanied, even the bride's mother awaiting her with the other guests. Passing through the central corridor, the bride and groom entered the Blue Boom and took their position near"its Southern wall, which was com pletely hidden from sight by a mass of nodding palms, tropical grasses and an endless variety of choice flowers. The . crystal chandeliers poured a flood of mellow radiance upon tiic scene, aud the colors of massive banks of scarlet be gonias and i oval Jarjueminot roses ming ling with the blue aud silver tints of the frescoed walls and ceiling gave a warm . and glowing tone to the whole brilliant interior. The delicate ivory shades of the bride's wedding gown found an ex quisite, -setting in the mass of crimson roses immediately beyond. The President was in lull evening^ dress with a turndown collar, white" lawn necktie and enamelled studs. A hush fell upon the assemblage as Doctor Sunderland stepped forward to bis posi tion fronting the wedding couple, with the Key. William Cleveland, the P?-esi- j , dents brother, at his left hand. iua | distict lone of voice and with deliberate utterance the Doctor began the simple and beautiful wedding service, as fol lows : "Foi as much as we are assembled to observe the holy rite of marriage, it is needful that we should seek the blessing of the Great God Our Father whose institution it is. and therefore I beseech you now to follow jmj with reverent hearts in prayer to Him. Almighty and Everlasting God, Father of our spirits. Fraiuer of our bodies, Giver of every good and perfect gift. Thou who canst sec the end from the beginning, who kuowest what is best for us Thy chil dren, and has appointed the holy rite of marriage to be sacredly observed through out all generations, regard now wc be seech Thee Thy servant our Chief Magistrate. Endow him plcutcously with Thy grace and fill him with wis dom to walk in Thy ordinances. Be very nigh to him in the midst of his many cares aud grave responsibilities day by day. May Thy law direct him aud Thy strength uphold him, and be Thou forever his suu and shield; and be graciously pleased to look down upon this Thy daughter, even as Though didst favor the chosen Rebecca aud the many noble women that have adorned the world. May she indeed be a pre cious boon of God to hc^husband, to cheer and help him continually; a wo man gifted with the beauty of the Lord aud shedding the sweet influence ot Christian life upon the Nation in whose sight she is to dwell. Wilt Thon ap prove what wc Thy servants come to do in Thy name, by Thine authority and under the laws of the land in which we live, and graciously assist them?this man aud this woman?who are here to be uuited iu the bonds of holy wedlock, according to the institution of Thy Word. Mercifully be pleased. Almighty God. to vouchsafe to each of them Thy grace, that they may well and truly weigh the unfailing vows which they are now about to make to each other in the presence of this company aud before Thee: ami thai they may be enabled hereafter ui all times so to live together as to rejoice in the solemnization of this union with joy unspeakable ami full of glory, tbrou-jh Jesus ('brist, our Lord. Amen.' Addressing the company, he said: "Marriage is honorable among all men. in thai man shall leave bis father ami mother and shall cleave unto his wife ami the twain shall be one lie.-h. It was instituted by our Creator in the first Paradise, it was confessed by patri arch and priest, prophel and apostle. It was confirmed by the leaching am! adorned with the presence of the i;< dei me -, and has been honored by the faithful keeping of all good men and women since the world began. It is not, tl erefore. to be undertaken lightly or unadvisedly, but soberly, discreetly and in the fear of Cod. Into this holy estate this niau and ibis w oman come now to enter. 11 any now can show just cause why they may not be lawfully united in marriage, let him now speak or else hereafter forever hold his peace," To the bride and the groom he said : ?>l M \S\o1et kn 1 '?0 1_ 9. OI "Ifyou desire to to be united in marri age you will signify the same by joining your right hands." [The groom and the bride joined bauds.] "Grover," said the minister, "do you take this woman, whom you hold by the hand, to be your lawful wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance In the holy estate of wedlock ? Do you prom ise to love her, cherish, comfort and keep her in sickness and in health, m joy ami in sorrow, and forsaking all others keen you only unto her so long as you both shall live?" The groom (firmly)?"I do." Dr. Suutlerlnnd?"Frances, do you take this man, whom you hold by the baud, to he your lawful wedded husband, to live together aller God's ordinance 111 the holy estate of wedlock? Do you promise to love him, honor, comfort and ! keep him in sickness and in health, in joy aud hi sorrow, and forsaking all others keep you only unto him so long as you both shall live?" The bride responded in a low but clear voice, "I do." Dr. Wunderland (solemnly)?"Foras much as Grover and Frances have here agreed and covenanted to live together alter God's ordinance in the holy estate of wedlock, and have confirmed the j same by giving and taking the wedding ring; now. therefore, in the presence of j this company, in the name of the Father and oi the Son and of the Holy Ghost! I pronounce and declare that they are 1 husband and wife : and what Cod hath joined together let no man put asunder." Rev. Mr. Cleveland the pronounced the lollowing benediction: "Cod the Father. Cod the Son. and ! God the Holy Ghost, bless, preserve! and keep you. The Lord mercifully lill you with all temporal and all spiritual blessings aud?xant that you may so live together in this world thai m the world to come, you may have life everlasting. Amen " At the conclusion of the ceremony 1 Mrs. Folsom, showing traces of deep emotion, was the first to tender her con gratulations to the newly married pair. She was followed by 5liss Cleveland, Rev, Mr. Cleveland, and the other rela tives and friends in turn. While the congratulations were in progress the band, under the leadership of Professor Sonsa, performed the bride chorus and march from Lohengrin, and to this mu sic the President and his wife led the way into the stately Fast Room. The adornments of this noble hall worein keeping with its majestic proportions, and its ample space and brilliant illumi nation allorded an opportunity for a lit-! tum display of the ladies' toilettes. The bride wore an enchanting wed ding dress of ivory satin, simply gar mshed on a high corsage with India muslin crossed^ in Grecian folds aud carried iu exquisite falls of simplicity over tiie petticoat; Orange blossom garniture, commencing upon the veil in ! a superb coronet, is continued through out the costume with artistic skill.

Six Vounj; People Killed and Thirteen In jured?A Train Thrown Into tin; Snntee Swamp?Lisi of the Dead and Wounded ? II eurt rent I eing Scenes St. Stephen's, June 7.?The. north bound passenger train No. 43 on the Northeastern 1 tail road met with a terri ble accident at 2.22 this evening while it was crossing the Santec River trestle at a point two and half miles from this place. The trestle suddenly gave away and the train, with the execptiou of the engine and the last sleeper, plunged headlong into the canal below. The scene that followed baffles description. Hours were spent in extricating the dead and wounded from the wreck. Dr. G. G. Kinloch. Wm. Inglcsby, C'apt. J. L. Cole, Miss Hannah Wilson, Miss Flora Mcfver, of Charleston, and Miss Xeha McWhite, of Marion, were instantly killed. The list of wounded comprises thir teen aud is as follows : D. (r. Mazyck, conductor, seriously injured; F. W. Kennecker, mail agent, dangerously in jured: Henry Husbands, baggage master, seriously injured; Warren Hurges, color ed wood passer, painfully in jured; James Couldmnn, news agent, slightly injured; W. C. Chandler, of Sumtcr. slightly in jured: Miss Marion McWhite. of Marion County, slightly injured: W. B. Barnes, l.vnchburg. Va., painfully but not dan gerously injured: Ilonry Henry, colored, slightly injured: Express .Messengers West and Price, both seriously injured; 1!. Smith, sleeping-car porter, seriously injured; John Wright, Wilmington, X. (.'.. seriously injured. The cause of the accident is partly ascribed to (he recent freshet, which lias materially injured the trestle, the high water thus far having precluded a thorough examination of the same. It was impossible owing to the late hour at which the relief train bearing the dead and wounded arrived in the city, to obtain anything like a detailed state ment of the wreck or its cause or causes. Most oftho.se who survived the disaster were of course, after the fatigue and terrible experiences of the day, unwilling and unable to relate their experiences and made all possible haste to return to their hotels or homes in the city. By far the greater number of those who were seriously injured were absolutely iusuch condition as to need all their at tention and that of their immediate friends. One of the unfortunates, how ever, made a satemcnt last night to a Reporter who accompanied him in the carriage in which he was taken lrom the station to his boarding-house in Society street. This gentlemen- is namn?T M"i\ W. 7*]. Chamber, and is a clerk at Mc Guirc's furniture, establishment on King street. lie took the train yesterday at 12 on his way to Sumtcr, whither he had been summoned by telegraph to be ore sent at the bedside of his dying mother. He made his statement with the utmost difficult}*, as ho was suffering from a contusion on the right side of his head. His right foot had also been badly bruised. His escape was a most miraculous one. hi answer to a ques tion as to the cause of the disaster ami the manner in which it. had occurred. lie said: l,l don't know how I am alive to tell about my escape, and even now nearly everybody is disagreed as to what caused the crash. The fact is that those who got oft' with their lives were too much concern ed in thinking of other t hings, and those who were entirely saved found loo much work in helping the helpless to waste any useless time in investigating the causes of the wreck. All 1 know isthat i was sitting in the second-class car near the end next to the first-class passenger coach. Ahead of me were the mail car and the baggage car. The only occu pants of the car in which I was were two persons, a colored man and a color ed boy. whose names 1 have forgotten. I remember dislincly that we had enter ed upon the trestle, and were running, 1 should judge, at the rate ol between twenty-five and thirty miles an hour. 1 don't know how far wc had goue on the trestle, possibly a half mile, when the crash came. It is, of couse, impos sible to describe one's sensations under the frightful circumstances, but I am sure that every one on the car who knows any thing about impending dan ger must have fell a premonition that there was something .wrong just an in stant or so before we were sent, whirling through the air to the ground below. The iirsl intimation I received of the coming disaster was the ominous sound of the brakes being instantaneously and forcibly put down. At such a place, on a trestle so elevated above the ground, or rather the water below. 1 fell that the danger, il danger it was. would be nothing less than a fatal one. I there fore almost insensibly threw my sell forward and clung tightly to the lorward seat, ami at the same instant 1 could hear above the rush and roar of the train the noise of the ears ahead, which were plunging down ihe trestle. -1 ti-1 then, glancing through the for ward door. I saw ihe next ear pitch from the rails and vanish bom sight. J knew lin n thai ? ?nr time h id cum,', tjllicki r than IimiiuIiI the front end oi oar ear dipped ihovii and 1 then thought thai all was over, i rould distiiicily hear the crashing of the limber under the ear a- we went down. I only knew this, that the fearful wrenehiiw whirh the ear experienced as we left the rails lil'led me from m\ seat, regardless of all the strength ofagom and despair thai I was exerting, and shut me forcibly down toward- the front end of the car. I re member at one time the ear wa- nearly perpendicular, and having lieencui loose from m\ support I fell almost by the lone of gravity along the whole hue ol seats to the bottom. 1 have number less bruises which 1 do not feel just TJRSDAY, JUXE 10, 1SS now, on account of the greater pain of my pfmcipal wounds, aud I am confi dent that I struck every seat on my way down to, the forward door. ?n fact, my remcmbxance is that the wound on my head was caused by striking tiie sharp edge oi'puc of the seats as L was being hurlcd,,iis I then .thought, into eternity. Strange to say, after Teaching the bot-j torn ofj>jhe-car. I-experienced but little ! iujucy^; I ".reached the last possible j place,it)ie cn(J ot tiie car. just as it strucb&he'gfound.' Through the win I dows I saw the water, dashed into foam, j rise high aboveUhc car. but all of a sud ! den it subsided, and the fear of drown iog, which was my first sensation on seeiug^tho water, disappeared. Then for an-jnstant a]J was still. I was dazed and dfdn^t know what to do or to think. Both the colored persons were out of sight,-^spossibly-cjuudcr the scats. I thought at/first that the car was then, the ss^st-place, but I changed my mind and dragged myself through one of the w'indows. It was only then that I lotind that Iwas seriously hurt. The wound on my Iread'.bjed profusely and I was half Jjhndedby' the stream of blood1 which flowed all over my face. ? j When.I reached the outside world again II was absolutely appalled by the extent I ! of the damage. Just ahead of me were , the mail ?and baggage trains smashed I literacy to pieces/ The first-class pas sengercoach, which was immediately ? behin$--us' had toppied over with Ire- i ; mendous force ami was lying.half on its side just to the right. Behind that was , one of the two sleepers which had j fallen after the passenger coach On! j the ranlr slill was the rear Pullman car j just a short distance from the break : through which we had all come in such ' inextricable confirSinn. it, was some time before, any sound was heard save ! that of the engine, which was ahead of. ; us, and whiclwhatl not left the track. 11 ' was just as if I was the sole survivor of ! a gencful death and destruction. In a i few l?ttes," however, people recovered \ :fromffieir fright and- at t cution was im-! , mediately turned to the relief of the suf- i i feritu,'. Tit': officers of. the train worked hero- i ? ically and in a short; time, consideringj I the cii^umstnuccs^ an arrnugemcnt was j made by which we "were taken from our <, J variotftpositions up to the track. The; I bench of the track which had given way ;' I was utilized, and with the help of ropes | jandtheberr lines we were lifted out of{ I our uncomfortable places. The reports I j as to.the number killed were much ex-! ! aggcttfed, the first being that nearly' J cvcrjptpdy on the train bad been either ! ! killeirautrighLor fatally wounded. Wc ' leanifd, as you know, that tills was i not true;,' When we were made as com- j I fortable as possible, the ladies volun- ? 1 tecredjhthein^aervices on beJualllnfLthn j j^r^rp^^^U^y? mult noble day's ; l-\\'>'k\z\ uhys* work which certainly1 1 none of us will ever forget. 1 remember one lady, a Miss Campbell, from Sum ? niervillc, who was every place allevia ting the pain of the sufferers. There, was also a lady, a Miss Dailcy, I think, was her name, who rendered nie and i many others timely and much-needed assistance. She said that she was on her way Xorfh, with her mother and four brothers and sisters, all children. Not one of them was in the slightest : degree injured. "The saddest death of all. in my opin ion, was that of a Miss White, I think was her name, who took the train at St. Stephen's Depot. As we rolled up to that place she was standing on the plat form eagerly expecting the train which ? was to take her to her home in the up ! per part of the Stale. 1 helped her on ' the car with her baggage, little thinking I that within less than live minutes she 1 i would be one of the number who would never reach their homes again. After she got on the car 1 never saw her again until I saw her through a window of the ? passenger coach as it lay enclosing its other victims some fifteen or twenty feet below the. track. She was dead; and must have been killed almost. J ; instantly." We remained in the sleeper until the arrival of the train which was sent up from Charleston to reiieve us. The : physicians who came with it immediate [ set to work, and in an exceedly short j time they had done all that human aid ' could do to help the unfortunate suflcr i crs. 1 half wished at limes that 1 was not : able to look around, as. L did, on all the sorrow and physical anguish that I saw and heard. Many of the wounded were in intense agony, and even the bravest man alive would not repress a cry or a groan under such torture as many of the men endured. Mangled legs, contorted arms and bruised and haltered bodies were here, there and every where. IL was sickening, and from time to lime I had to close my eyes to relieve my own sufferings, so much intensified were they by the agonized expression on every face I saw. As I told you 1 shall never lorgei the circumstances. We were brought into the city about I 'o'clock lasl night. The rest, you know. -News and ('ourier. A Warnilit;.

STRANGE BEINGS USED TO WALK IN SILENT PLACES ftisnppcaranc of the Meeting Street Ghost ?T'.ie Ghost of the Jewish Cemetery?Of St. Philip's Church Varil?The Woman in White?Six Littte Ghosts Sitting in a ttow. The Meeting street ghost disappeared ilining the early part of the week and will not frighten the good people in that vicinity any longer. This is not the lirst ghost that has np peard in Charleston. Many of them have visited and re-visited us under the glimpses of the moon, making night hideous wilh their weired-likc move ments and terrifying the spectators with their grim and ghastly countenances. All of the midnight marauders, of course, were not ghost: some of them were real flesh and blood. It is well known that there arc persons who. like the hyena, have an insane desire to prowl around grave yards and cemeteries at night. For instance, about thirty years ago what was thought to be a gnost, ? used to appear in St. Philip's Church ! yard, sometimes seated upou the tomb ? of the Meacher family, and sometimes moving with cat-like tread among the ? trees and monuments. The excitement at the time was so great that women and children in the vicinity could not be i induced to remain in a room at night I alone? If a door opened suddenly they expected lo see a grinning raw-head and J bloody bones enter. The moaning of the wind out sale or the howling 7>f a dog in a yard were signs that the ghost was somewhere in the vicinity. The ghost was at last captured and proved to be it negro by the name of Charles 1 who belonged to the Meachcrs. Many years before the war a wateh : maker by Hie name of Lyons was mur dered at his residence on Hast Pay. . The assassin entered the house through the street window and cut Lyons' throat : while he was quietly sleeping in his bed. i Scarcely were the remains of Lyons laid ; away in the lomd before a ghost appear ' cd in the old Jewish burying ground in 1 Coming street. The. ghost appeard in a white shnud, and when not walking [ among the graves, could be seen seated '[ upon the hearse house shed. The cx ; citcmcnt became so great and rumors so ? much exaggerated that some people i declared they saw the ghost at night j climbing St. Michael's steeple. The i negroes became so alarmed that many of them were afraid to walK the streets ' at night. Filially several persona star ! ted for the Jewish burying-ground with j the intention of shooting the ghost. Ohosts, like crows can smell gun-pow der far oil', and you can never get within gun-shot?""range, ot them. Yvinlc the ghost hunters were inarching around the grave-yard, deiermmwJ fco make n jrhosfc's j ghost out of the ghost if the ghost would let them, the ghost of the eemctcTy was in their midst lollowing them around. It was one. John McCullum. a wild young man of the city who used to ap pear in the grave yard at night covered with a sheet, and" amuse himself by lightening people and creating a sen sation. If there is a place in Charleston that seems inviting to ghostly visitors that place is St. Philip's church-yard. Its recessed position, Us weeping willows with their branches nearly trailing over the tombs, and intensifying the dark ness of the night, the numerous graves in such close promoxfty to each other, all oiler as delightful a home to the restless spirits as the Vale of Tempo oll'crcd io the dreamy child of song. 1 About a hall'of a century ago, midnight I pedestrians along Church street were startled by the appearance of a woman in white who was frequently seen walk ing solemnly but majestically near the fence railing. After making her rounds of the grave-yard she would disappear in the darkness of the trees and be secu no more until the next night. One night a well known sporting man of the city in passing the Church saw the ghost standing near the railing. Her right hand was thrust out. and she was as motion less as a statue, lie seized her hand and squeezed it in his vice-like grip. A picreciug shriek caused him to release her and she turned and lied, passing into a window of a.small house which bordered on the grave-yard.
