Fashionable wedding at syracuse.

SYRACUSE, June l9.-The great Moguls of
fashion IN this city, and the loWier Mussulmans
OF the country hereabout, find an ever-recurring
source OF conversation in grand marriage,
celebrated last Thursday evening, between Mr..
James Manning Jr., OF this place, and Miss
Jennie Bailey. The ceremonies were performed
at Hazlewood, the delightful residence of Charles
Bailey, ESQ.,, the brides father. The list Of in.
Vitations included nearly all the Oldest and most
esteemed residents OF Syracuse aud vicinity.
The mansion of Mr.. Bailey, magnificent always,
was decorated palatially, and so plentifully be-
decked with flowers that the source of their pro
ducton became matter of speculation.
The bride was lovely, the groom happy, and
everybody else enchanted. Bands OF music,
stationed within and without the house, played
almost necessarily, while the CAV and iewelled
throng fitted and glittered through the Ger
man." led off by Mr.. c. of Oswego. Mr.. Rich
aroson, Mayor OF Oswego, and one OF the
groomsmen, danced in the same set. Day-dawn
found many OF the guests arriVng home; but
very many day-dawns must come and go ere
the bewildering impression of that dazzling and
pleasant occasion will be erased from the
memory or cease to be the theme OF those who
were guests or witnesses.-N Y. World.

MURDKR NEAR LEw1sBURe, PA.
EMyse Persons RIlIed-Monoy the Cnuse
of the Tragedy.

oI the IFAge0ys.
We have Just learned the particulars of
terrible tragedy that has been enacted some
three miles from Lewisburg, York county, re-
gultlng in the murder of three persons. George
bquibb was farmer in easy circumstances,
residing In warrington township, at the place
indicated above, and whose family consisted OF
himself his wife, and granddaughter, of about
fourteen years of age. It was supposed that Mr..
SQuibb had considerable money in his posses
sion, and 1t seems that some fend in human
shape determined to secure this filthy luCre,
even at the sacrifice of several lives. On Sunday
Dight the monster visited the house of Mr..
Bquibb, and there murdered the whole family.
The terrible affair was not discovered until
yesterday morning, when the neighbors found
Mr.. Squlbb lying on the porch OF his house, his
BODY bearing the marks OF no less than fourteen
cuts that had been made thereon with knite in
the han0s of the murderer. The old mans life
was not extinct, Dut he was insensible, and lived
only until last evening. Inside of the house
was the form of Mrs. Squlbb, horribly beaten
and cut. She, 100, was senseless, and there is
not the least hope entertained OF her recovery
while II is highly probable that the vital spark
has ned ere this reaches the eye of the reader
Near by lay the body OF the granddaughter, cold
IN death. 1t was also stabbed, beaten, and
bruised. From the fact that all the victims we're
found divested OF their Shoes 1T is believed the
murder was committed when they were pre-
pairing to retire, which, according to their Gus
som, must have been at an early hour IN the
evening.
Upon a search of the premises being made
JeSVS'uay, aoOuO S0Ou IN money was IOun1,
Whichithe murderer Iaied TO lay hIs hands upon,
but married daughter who lives ia the vicinity
states that 1t was supposed Mr.. Squibb had 500
or $500 IN his possession, and II is probable that
the robber obtained $3.50 or S450-a small recon-
pense Tor his guilt as au assassin. 1t is not
known who committed the crime, but ne Will vet
be brought TO justice, as murder will o IT."
The funeral OF the granddaughter took OIace
at 10 o'clock to-day, and was tended by q vast
concourse of citizens of the nee hborhood
among whom The most intense excitement pre-
walls in consequence of the brutal murier that
has Just been perpetrated in heir midst
MISS Caroline B. Squibo, a daughter of the
murdered man, recently resided with Mrs.
Streeter, No. 38l street. Washington city,
and dispatches have beer sent to notify her Of
the murder, but the operator reports that she
has removed and cannot De found. In order
that her whereabouts may be discovered, our

MODERN BATTLEs.-A pamphlet on the
needle gun by General de Gondrecourt, con
tests the idea that battles of the present day
are more sanguinary than those of former
periods. The writer says: At Borodno
the combattants lost a quarter of their effec-
tive force at Magenta and Solferino an
eighth at the battle of Senef. fought be
tween the Prince of Orange, the two armies
lost third of their numbers, and Conde had
three horses killed under him by the rude
muskets, old halberds, and clumsy pistols of
that time. so far behind the present epoch Of
the needle gun. Lastly, at the battle Of
Sadowa the Prussans and Austrians lost
an eighth of the troops engaged and yet
fought with obstinacy." The inference
which the General draws is, that the new
arms kill more quickly, but the battle is OF
shorter duration. The net result is that
there are less victims Besides, although 1t
may be imprudent not to possess the new
engines of war, they do not suffice alone to
assure the victory. That depends above all
on the genius of the general and frmness OF
the men.

flow Oregon was Saved to the United
States.

From paper read at the recent meeting
of the American Board at Pittsfeld, by Rev.
Mr.. Treat, it appears that Oregon Territory
was saved to this country through the sa.
gacty and severe personal exertion of one of
the missionaries of the Board. In 1886 two
ministers of the Board, Rev. Mr.. Spauld-
ing and DR.. Whitman, with their wives. pro-
ceeded overland to Oregon, crossing the
Rocky Mountains to reach the field of their
labors. After remaining there few years
DR.. Whitman discovered that the HudsOn's
Bay Company was scheming to get posses
sion of the country (by inducing its surren-
der to the British Government) by repre-
senting that it was of little value and mac
cessble to settlement. He was convinced,
on the contrary that it was rich in minerals,
and that emigrants could cross the Rocky
Mountains in wagons, which the Hudson's
Bay Company said was in possible. Seeing
these things DR.. Whitman determined to
visit Washington and lay the facts before the
Government. He accordingly started in
1912, and made the long and perlous jour
ney on horseback. AT Washington he OBJ
tanned interviews with President Tyler and
Daniel Webster, the Secretary OF State, when
he learned that the treaty was almost ready
to be signed by which the title to Oregon was
to be relinquished to England IN exchange
for greater fishing facilities. He pressed the
truth in regard to the country strongly upon
! Mr.. Webster, and told him that he intended
to return to Oregon with train of emigrants
Mr.. Webster asked if he would pledge HIM
self to do this. He promised that he would,
| and Mr.. Webster said the treaty should be
suppressed DR.. Whitman redeemed his
promise, and that magnificent territory was
| saved to the United States. Z
