Aubery, of Chicago. and "-as married at the Kirby house her. ,ast night by a justice of the peace. T.:e couple arrived here at G.30 in the evening. About 9 o'clock the you.-g man informed the clerk of the hotr: that he desired the services of a )ust:c, and Justice Gregory was sent for, :,d the ceremony was then quick ]y p :,forined. Ti' justice did not know the bride was : he daughter of the chief justice of he . nited States, nor did aqy of those prem--t outside of the contracting par ties. The bride and groom passed the nigf at the Kirby house, and this moi u og took quarters at the Plank M. Aube.. nee I'uller, is nineteen eas old, handsome and higbly edu cated, and Mr. Aubery is twenty-three years old. and the son of the general wes'_rn agent of the Merchants' Des pat. freight line. Miss Fuller was in Chicago visiting friends when arrange mer.ts for the elopemert were quietly maco. The parties met at a candy stori In Chicago, and from there went to th2: depot and took a train for Mil wau:;ee. MI-s Pauline, now Mrs. Aubery, was ne of the eight daughters who ma e^ up the Chief Justice's interesting fam -g. Her mother had opposed her marriage with young Aubery, with whc.u she bccame acquainted about ,hree years a;,o. The young lady had a wi' of her own, however, and in ad ditioa her father recognized her right to c&.ose as she would, Miss Pauline left her mother in Wa-idngton in January and went to m a. her Chicago vilit. Mrs. Fuller had nsked the friends with whom her daughter was stopping to exercise a shar. vigilance over the young lady's mov ments. This watching the youth fol l .dr were well aware of, and Aubery engged the services of two detectives in riain clothes to cover the move mei is of the watchers on the day of the.'opement. Then, by first taking a ei'uitous trip about Chicago, the coup e succeeded in avoiding interfer ence. and carried their plans to the ination described herein. NEWS. SH .ToN, March 20.-Chief Jus'.e Fuller seemed surprised and shoched when a dispatch announcing his caughter's marriage was shown him. He said he bad heard nothing of t'.. matter before. He read the first par' "f the story, and then thanking the informant, retired to an inner rooM. i -esponse to a question he said that he I ..d no statement to make. N rs. Fuller received all wvho called, and C.ays the marriage is a matter of sur .?se to the family, as well as regret, but thiat they will accept the situation. She t.iso said the manner in which the m riage took place was more a cause ofr- ;-vet than the alliance itself. QMISS FULLER AT HOME.

Co..MnMiA, March 21.-On the 20th of June, 18i60, D. E. Jete-, of Union County, killed his brother-in-law, James W. iusby, and fled the State. Twenty-nine years have passed away, and yet that man is held to-day for he crime committed a generation ago, and will be brought to trial in the county which he left "before the war." Here is one case where justice, if not as "sure" as the proverb makes it. is cer tainty "slow." (ovei nor Richardson tc-Jay for warded to Sheriff J. G. Long, of Union County, a iequisition on the Governor of Tennessee for the delivery of Jet er, who is now held in that State, and the sheriff will present it in person and bring his prisoner back to Union. Little is known here of the details of the crime. The following article from the Evening Times, of Jackson, Tenn., published on the 14th instant, will ex plain the circumstances under which the crime of Jeter was revealed to the law officers of that city: "For some lime trouble has existed between D. E. Jeter, who lives about two and a half miles north of this city, and his stepdaughter, Mrs. Ira Lee, a widow, who has been living with him. Jeter is said to have abused Mrs. Lee a few days since in an outrageous man ner, calling her all sorts of names and accusing her of the most offensive con duct imaginable, and drove her away from her home, the place, we under stand, belonging to her, Mrs. Lee came to this city to seek protection and escape from the brutal conduct of her stepfather, who, to add to other things, was drinking deeply. She spent one night at the residence of Mr. H. L. Palmer, another at the residence of Mr. Baker, and one night at the residence of Mrs. McBride. ".In the meantime a detective under the name of B. A. Oats was doing some nice detective work. It had been ru mored here that Jeter had shot and killed his' brother-in-law, Busby in Union County, S. C., in 1861. Tele grams were sent to the sheriff of Union County, the first being sent last Tues day, inquiriog if D. E. Jeter was want ed there for a murder committed in 1S61. Other telegrams were sent on Wednesday. Replies were received stating that the murder was being in vestigated. Yesterday a telegram was received from the sheriff of Union County to A. B. Oats to arrest Jeter and notify him at once. Upon receipt of the telegram the authorities here had Mis. Lee to swear out a peace war rant against Jeter, they having put her off from time to time until the investi gation could be made authorizing hold ing him for the offence in South Caro lina. "Last night Mr. A. D. Dugger and Deputy Sheriff Waiter Person went out to arrest Jeter, Sheriff B. A. Per son following later. Jeter was 'known to be a desperate man and would~ resist to the last any attempt to arrest him if he knew what the real cause of his arrest was. Messrs. Dugger and Person drove up to the house in a spring wagon. Mr. Dugger went into the house and was told that Jeter had gone out about the premises. He went out to look for him and found him in the yard. He approached him in a jocular manner and when they entered the house Jeter displayed a pistol. Mr. Duggrer told hinm that Walter Person was out in the wagon and had a peace warrant for himi. Jeter consented to go with them and got in the wagon and caime to town, saying he would make it hot for Mrs. Lee. "He took supper with Sheriff Person. The latter told him that Mr. Dugger would not go on his bond and that he would have to spend that night in the jail, and he was jocked np. This morning Sheriff Person received the following' dispatch from J. G. Long, sheriff of Union Cougty, S. C.: -. 'B.1oid Jfeter till I come with re quisition papers. Will have to get them from the Governor. J. G. Long.' "Jeter is, therefore, held to await the requisition from the Governor of South Carolina. Jeter has the reputation of being a desperate character. He has told Mr. Dugger prior to this that he killed his brother-in-law in South Carolina, and also told him and Sheriff Person last nighti that he was arrested in Tyler, Texas, for the offence, but that he shook a red flag at the sheriff and made his escape." Poorhouse Nuptials. CoLUMBIA, S. C., March 17. 1S89. John Davis, aged seventy-t wo years, an inmate of the Anderson county poor house eloped Saturday morning with Mrs. Margaret Compton, anotber in mate. B~oth persons are white. They were married this evening in a neigbor ing village. The officiating minister declined to act until he had obtained the consent by telegraph of the Ander son County Commissioners. Their plans for the future are not known. A woman is said to be always at the bottom of trouble. You remember the story of Shah of Persia. When he was1 told that a workmnan had fallen from a ladder, he caldled out. "Who is she?" "Please your Majesty, it's a he." "Non sense," exelaimed the Shah: "there is never an accident without a woman. Who is she?" The Shah was right the man had fallen from the ladder becaiusdgwas lookit a at a woman in the wIiow op'posite. Many a man does this in other countries besides D .at ed Conreuerate Sold eres. IN ew York Herald.] A comminee of citizens ga.hering help :o build a home in Texas for dis abled Confede,ate soldiers is, we are very glad to see, receiving letters of encouragement from such eminent t Union soldiers and sailors as (ene;al Sherman and Admiral Porter and c others. That is rigbt, and we hope ,he needed subscriptions w ill flow in t to the committee. It i' now twenty-four years since the d war closed. The men who served in it t on either side are growing old fast. t Those who were crippled by wounds or a disease are already feeble old men. e The animosities which grew out of t he f strife between the sections have so far C died out, at least among those who fought, that Union and Confederate a survivors have more than once pro- C posed to decorate the graves of their l comrades on the same day together. n in many Southern States the people, by their Legislatures, are supporiing t bomnes for disabled Canfederate sol- ' diers. That is right and as it ought to be. But why would it not be a kindly n and gracious.act for Congress, when it f reassembles, to apropriate money for li the construction and maintenatice of c several soldiers' homes in the Southern V States? Why would not President a Harrison do well to recommend this to e Congress? p There is money co spare in the federal t Treasury. The sum required would not b be great, and the Southern people, a who pay their share of the taxes out of which Northern pensions and Northe o a soldiers' homes are provided, wo'ld 0 see in such a deed, done as it would be n by a republican Congress, the most 1a conclusive proof of good will-the best s evidence that those politicians in the d South who continue to gabble about ti Northern ill will are mere demagogLes I and do not tell the truth. D If soldiers' homes were established in ih Southern States by an act of Congress g these would not, of course, be exclu- a sively for disabled Confederates. Union b and Confederate men would gather in ] them to spend their few remaining v years in comfort together. Many men s now in Northern soldiers' homes suffer t from t he rigors of our Northern win- v ters, and as the old soldiers in these il places are now by law allowed to t change from one home to another, a under proper regulations, many of a them would be glad of a winter in a s Southern home-where, besides, they t would be made aappy by change of C scene and by the opportunity, dear to 0 every soldier and sailor, of talking over 9 battles with former antagonists. a Moreover, a large number of Union li soldiers now live in Southern States. e When, by reason of poverty and a dis- F abled condition these become entitled 'I to entry in a soldier's home, they must s now go North. For these, who will in- r crease in numbers from year to year, f soldiers' homes at well selected points f in Southern States would be a boon. d The country can afford to do thiss thing, and we believe it would have ' the hearty consent of multitudes of I Union soldiers. We should like to seet the question taken up in the Grand ~ Army assemblies and in the Loyal 1 Legion meetings. Possibly there might be some opposition at first, but we be-t lieve it would melt away before sensible 1 and kindly counsels. The Union veter- r ans would do well to ask themselves whether the time has not come, nearly a quarter of a century after the close of the war and when they themselves 1 begin to feel keenly the burden ofyears, when it would be well to make a pub lic provision of homes, not for the wealthy, the educated, the influential t Southern leaders in the war, but for the I poor fellows who were deluded or I forced into the Confederate ranks, and who are now crippled and poor, desti- I tute and suffering. They were the victims of designing or mistaken leaders. They did what they supposed their duty-for they had bEen taught for a generation to stand. by their States. They are Americans, fellow countrymen; ad we believe Union veterans, while they may dis trust the Southern leaders in the war,1 cherish no animosity-bave nothing but the kindest feelings for the men who faced them in the ranks. Physicians Form a Trust, [From a Bonhanm (Texas,) Special.] A few dlays ago five or six doctors in the vicinity of windom, a village in the eastern part of the county, formed 1 themselves into an association and raised the pri.ce on their services. Last night the citizens held an indignation meeting to protest against such pro eeedings and to take steps towards importing an M. D. who could offer his services at a reasonable rate. One of the physicians who had joined the Trust appeared before the citizens and offered his services at a price lower than thbe scale agreed upon by the Association if the people would bestow all the custom upon him. This made the citizens wrathy, and it was only by Strenuous efforts on the part of some of the cooler heads that the physician was saved from summary vengeance.

Eoston Transcript.] A well-known Bostonian, one of the "forty-niners," who was a part icipawt in the fierce race for gold which so stirred the United States forty years ago, writes us apropos of the statement of the Los Angeles correspondent, that in the newly developed gold region of Lower California $ is the price readily. paid for a fifty-pound sack of flour gives some figures from n ex perience to sho the "Argo-1 nauts" had ' y for provisions. In tho ' g of '50 he travelled from ,. ham Bar, near Rattlesake Bar, on the middle Yuba E'ver. Califor nia, "afoot and alone, as Paddy went to Dublin," to Little Deer Creek, since Nevada City, a distance of sixteen miles, and paid $00 for a lifty-pound sack of flour, and backed it to Graham Bar that afternoon. This anecdote he relates to temper the statement thata new '49 has dawned from Enseneda. Any one who can remember the rush for the mines forty years ago, or has heard one who witnessed it tell of it, will always accept with a large allow ance the story that it is being repeated in this or that newly developed dis trict. In the stirring days of the "gold fever" the blood of the whole nation seemed bubbling with excitement, as the thirst for gold became fiercer and fiercer. Men left shops, and counting houses, and offices, and rushed for the clippers that were advertised to carry gold-seekers round the Horn. The scenes on sailing days are said by old residents to remind them of a rush for a harbor steamer on a hot Summer day. Everybody wanted to go to Cali fornia, and there was always somebody late, who cursed the unkind fate that kept him forever in the race for the mines. Of course the fever was mild here as compared with California. Gen. Sherman says that at one time 600 ships were anchored in San Francisco harbor without crews. The sailors had deserted and joined in the rush for the mines. Soldiers in the garrisons at tempted to follow the example of the sailors, and it required the utmost ex ertions of officers to prevent regimental stampedes. Those were the days when servants commanded $300 a month; rough board rooms, roofed with canvas, rented for $1,000 a month, and every thing else was high in proportion. The golden days of California were not al together Igolden for those at a distance from the mines. A Silver Wagon Road. [From the Philadelphia Press.] "You may talk about nickel-plated railroads," said Vice-President L. T. Stanley, of Walnut street, "but what do you think of a solid silver wagon road? The Horseshoe Mine, in Colora do, has one, although when it was built they didn't know it would pan out that way. They had to have a road from their mine, a distance of three miles, over which heavy loads were to be drawn. They took the rock that had been taken from the shafts they were sinking, and which lay around in the way, and macadamized the road all~ the way through. The wagons passing over the road ground the rock down. One day they had a heavy rainstorm, and when things got dry again after the rain the wind blew the dust off the road, and all through the road-bed, every which way, they could see big streaks of silver. Well, maybe they didn't collar on to the rest of that, loose rock that lay around those shafts! They sent away a lot of it to be assayed, and when the report came back they found that their roadbed was worth $200 a ton. It was a little expensive to drive over, but they had to have the road, and I suppose they've got it yet, if their mines have held out." Appropriate. The quill pen with which the Presi dent signed the bill admitting the States of North Dakota and South Dakota, Montana and Washington was from the wing of an eagle shot in Northern Dakota and sent to Mr. Cleveland, ask ing that it be used for the first time in signing the bill adding four new States to the Union. The Penalty of Greatness. [From the Daily Alta California.]2 Russell Harrison is learning how sharper than an aching tooth it is to be a President's son.

Seemingly children are trained in al :)rauchcs of education but this, yet fron earliest childhood they should bi taught to value money, not only as g power to be duly respected, but thal its accumulation is a positive duty, it order not only to provide for old age but as one of the great motivP of advancement and " zation. Some may " ey do not care foi mono et as a wise woman said no, they do not care for money, but they want very badly what money will bring." I know of several fami lies who, with the means of starting well in life, with intelligence and ad vantageous surroundings, are now drif irg ito absolute poverty for want of this early training. In one instance oli age is harassed and weighed down by i he aspect of the "wolf at the door," whic;h, with an early training of thF line t:: tents possessed, would have kept him forever at bay. Li another, parents in their old age were obliged to leave a lovely conntiy home, and went to join the struggling hundreds in a neighboring city with a half dozen cbildren as untrained as themselves. Yet training in the saving and expenditure of money would have kept them by industry comfor table and thrifty. The person occupy ing the farm previous to this family supported quite as large a family and made enough money beside to buy another farm. As an instance of what can be done we will draw from the experience of aaother family. While very small the mother taught her children to count by using articles about the home, such as table and chair legs, windows, doors and so on. By this means they very soon learned the rudiments of arithme tic. As soon as possible they were sent on errands, and to market, and taught to look sharp after the value received for money, to be exact in counting th( change so to have justice for both par, ties, and if anything was wrong they were sent to rectify it, and were mad( to take the responsibility. They alsc had tasks about the house, and under stood that they were to attend to them without their attention being called tc these duties. They were kept busy, and formed habits of industry, and grew up to be execllent business men, and at an early age had the offer o1 several advantageous situations. Two boys of the same family were each given a child's bank of metal and an account book. In their own hand writing they entered in the book all the sums of money they received as gifta or which they earned by extra work etc. The money received was divided into three parts, put into several re. ceptacles, and lodged in the bank One portion was to be saved, the re served for gifts of charity, and the lasl they were to expend as they pleasd with the exception of a restriction s tc candy and cakes. All these boys were encouraged tc take pleasure in some natural taste fo, mineralogy, stamp collecting, ete Such tastes are strong protections tc boys, and they gain valuable know ledge with the habit of research, Parents should show respect forsuek occupations, and the continued efforj required to follow then thoroughly, which should be insisted upon as a matter of education, and as forming property in the form of valuable know ledge, that always has its use if only it elevating the taste. In another case a young:lady teacher whose father being one of the enlight ened kind taught his daughter how t< transact various kinds of business, hoi to value and purchase property, etc. so that in the savings of some years shi at different times made advantageoul purchases of small properties, the rents of which would have supported he: had her health or powers failed, as thea did in after years thrcugh deafness How much more real love of his cil dren has such a father than one wh< says : "Oh ! let them enjoy themselve while they are young," and then send: them forth totally unfit for the contest of life and labor.

JAY GOUra RULED 1 T. His Scheme to Gobble All the Soo';e Road@ Checked by a Leaal Deeintn (From the New Ye Herald.] BIRM NGU:AM. AI., March 20,1889. About oD-e ago the minority stoc hold' of the Memphis and Charlesto2 oad filed a petition in the Chancery Court at Huntsville, Ala., praying for an injunction restraining the stock holders of the East Tennessee. Virginia and Georgia Railroad from voting the stock of th e'ormer road. The petition was filed and the injunction granted about thirty days before the annuai meeting of the stockholders of the Memphis and Charleston road. The petition and allegations of the pIlaintiffs set forth that the Menmphis and Charleston Railroad had been leased to and operated by the East Ten nessee, Virginia and Georgia road to the injury of the stockholders of the former road. It also alleged; that the stock holders of the Last Tennessee. Virginia aNd Georgia road had bought up stock, anticipating the annual meeting of stockholders, until they secured a bare majority. The bill further alleged that the stock held by the East Tennessee. Virginia: and Georgia company was mortgaged to the Central Trust Com pany of New York, and that therefore under the law that company could not vote it. The billfurther alleged that under the law the East Tennessee com pany could not vote the stock of the Memphis and Charleston road, and that the lease which they expected to renew was in violation of the charter of the road. ; In December last the case was argued before Chancellor Cobbs, in this city, on demurrers filed by the East Tennes see, Virginia and Georgia company. Some of the best; legal talent in the country was engaged and the argument consumed more than a week. Chan cellor Cobbs has had the case under ad visement since that time, the briefs and papers in the case requiring weeks for examination. In his decision Chancellor Cobbs sus tains every point made in the petition of the pisintifi's. He holds that while one corporation may own the stock of another, they have no right to vote it under the law of Alabama. The Chan ceilor also decided that the control of the Memphis and Charleston road by the 'East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia is a violation of the charter of the former road. It is reported here that this decision will'result in the filing of several simi lar suits against the Richmond Termi nal companyand other railroad com panies seeking to obtain control of all smaller roads in the South. THE NEW SOUTHERN NAVY YARD. Port Royal Agreed Upon by NavalOslcers -as the Best Kocation. NEw York, March 20.-The Times says: It is learned that the Board of Naval Officers detailed to exmine - Southern cities for the best location for a new navy yard are pretty well agreed on Port Royal, and in consequence Port Royal is being studied in a very thorough manner by those who are aware of this fact. A prominent naval officersaid yester day that for convenience of water ap proach and harbor security Port Royal ~ - was well adapted for a navy yard, but in his opinion It was anything but an advantageous position for such a pur pose. This seems to be the opinion also of several other naval officers of ~prominence. The main point argued against Port Royal Is its lack of rail road communications,'and for a navy yard the existence of rapid transit lines having a terminus on the government ground is absolutely essential. New, Orleans seems to be in great favor with those who are in a position to speak understandingly of what is really needed. Eine'. Early Plum.
