HYxExAEL.-Among the many nup-
tual celebrations that have taken place
this Autumn, we are pleased to notice
the matinee wedding, which occurred at
one o'clock yesterday afternoon at the
residence Of our townsman, Mr.. William
j. Dunlap, between his daughter, Miss
Emma Dunlap, and Mr.. Lyman g.
Shepard OF Wheeling, w. Va, formerly
of Lockport. At disappointed time the
marriage was solemnized by the Rev.
Mr.. Harris of this place. After recelv-
ing the congratulations of the relatives
and acquaintances, the elegant COLA
ton provided by Macarthur OF Buffalo,
was served in the most approved style
to the happy pair and their friends. !,
The presents were numerous and
elegant, and we roticed the twain were
remembered by their friends from
abroad as well as esteemed by their
acquaintance at home.
The bride looked blooming and
pretty, and the groom courteous, atfabie
and dignifed. Owing to the good taste
and amiability of the hostess, and the
suavity and discretion of the host, We
can confidently say it was one OF the
most charming weddings Of the kind we
ever had the pleasure of attending.
After bidding good bye to their many
kind friends. the bride and groom left
on the three o'clock train for Bingham
ton. From thence we understand they
will return to Wheeling to live. Here
we would renew our congratulations Tor
the present, and our good wishes TOR
the future.-Lockport ~ Y. Dd1ty

MARrINMAs.-To-day is Martinmas,
or St. Martins Day, so called after st.
Martin, Bishop Of Tours, one OF the
best known of the French saints, from
the picture in which he is represented
as dividing his cloak with the beggar.
He died in 397. St. Martin is more
frequently invoked than most people
are aware, the vulgar expression my
eye and Betty Martin" being corrup'
ton of Mihi Jeate Martini.

Harrington Murder Trial
Verdict OF Guilty Of Murder
I'm the Second Degree.
Five Years in the Penitentiary.
PETITION FOR PARDON.

At nine o'clock last night. after be-
ing out twenty-four hours, the jury on
the case OF Thomas Harrington, charged
with the murder Of John Duffy, re-
turned verdict of guilty of murder in
the second degree and fixed his term OF
imprisonment in the penitentiary atfive
years.
This trial seemed to have excited
more than ordinary interest, and the
Court House has been crowded every
day of the trial. Last night and the
night before, crowds OF men waited
patiently until the adjournment OF the
Court for the verdict. The sentence OF
Mulcurren had its effect upon all, and
many doubted if Harrington could es-
cape with a lighter verdict.
The jury stood, as we are informed
on one ballot, five for verdict Of MUIR
der in the first degree (and two Of these
for the death penalty, two for acquit-
tai and the others for murder in the Sec
ond degree and manslaughter. AT six
o'clock last night it seemed almost i'm
possible that they could agree.
The prisoner took the verdict as a
man who had made up his mind to re-
ceiye whatever should come as the edict
OF God. By his modest demeanor and
quiet ways, as if he felt the deep wrong
he had done in taking the life of a fellow
man, Harrington has won many
friends. All that could be done for him
was done by his lawyers, who felt that
though technically guilty, he was not
morally guilty Of murder. The same
view YVES taken by the jury, for no
sooner had the court adjourned than
they signed petition for his pardon, OF
which the following is copy:
To his ErceAency. John j. Jacob, Cover
nor of West Virginia:
We, the undersigned, jurors in the
case of the State of West Virginia
against Thomas Harrington, believing
the defendant technically guilty, have
been obliged in our view OF the law
and testimony to find a verdict of guilty
of murder in the second degree, against
him and fix his punishment at imprls'
onment in the State Penitentiary tor
the term of five years. But in view OF
the most excellent character Of the
prisoner for peace, order, sobriety and
industry proved by him upon the trial.
and believing that the laws have been
yindicated sufficiently by his mere con-
viction, considering all the circum-
stances of the case, and believing, fur
ther, that society will not be injured but
materially benefited by his immediate
and unconditional pardon, we now,
within ten minutes from the time OF the
rendition OF our verdict, most earnestly
recommend him as a fit subject Tor
executive clemency and pray your Elk
cellency to pardon him.
Signed by w. H. Bassett and nine
other jurors. :, -
The other two jurors, it is said, will
sign the petition to-day.
Harrington is a young man Of twenty
three or twenty-four years Of age, and
looks very little like one who would
maliciously take a mans life. He has
two sisters, who attended him through
ont the trial. He has been their chief
support. their father and mother being
dead.

The New York Riot.

An account of the terrible riot
which took place in New York City
on the 10Th inst. will be found on the
I'd page of this paper. Later and
more detailed reports give horrible
pictures of the bloody day-a day
that almost rivaled some during the
later Seige of Paris. 1t is estimated
that the total number of persons
killed was about 100; and the total
number of wounded is estimated at
300. Some of the sufferers were
mere spectators, innocent of any
participation in the disturbance. No
Orangemen were killed, and no
policemen. Thewouuded policemen
are in fair way of recovery. The riot
ended on the 18th, but excitement
and apprehension continued during
the next day. On the 18th the pre-
liminary trials of arrested rioters
began. Further legal action will be
had this week.
Terrible as the actualities Of this
riot were, the subject has also tre-
mcndous political significance. In
deed, its political bearing cannot be
separated from any consideration of
It, The Democratic authorities who
rule New York City held consulta-
tion before the riot, and agreed upon
Superintendent Kelso's proclamation
which virtually surrendered all
law and order to the mob Of Catholic
and Democratic Irish who had de-
termined that there should be no
procession. But the popular indig'
nation against this proclamation
grew so fierce that the Tammany
politicians saw they had made Il
mistake; aud hence they came out
then with the Gov. Hoffman procla-
nation, resembling that OF Sup't
Eelso. 1t seems evident that the
whole carnival of bloodshed might
have been prevented IL the city
authorities had but let it be Known
in the first place that they would
prevent it. But instead of this they
truckled TO the mob of Catholic Irish.
Such is Democratic rule in New
York City-and such its horrible
effects! The result, however, is not
favorable to those who were guilty
Of this trucking. Already they are
/ divided among themselves about it.
and serious political feuds have
begun, which are likely to have
much effect upon the Democratic
party ut large, the Northern wing OF
which is ruled by Tammany.

American Sunday-SchOO1
Union.

A recent Circular from the Secre-
tary Of this Society gives us the fol-
lowing data Of the work and condi-
ton Of the Society:
During the last year one thousand
one hundred and ninety-four new
Sunday-schools have been organized,
and As, ,5s2 children, heretofore neg
lected, placed under Bible instruc-
tion. Besides this, 1897 othcr.schools,
most OF them poor, in which were
2i5 ,933 children, have been aided by
grants of books and periodicals pub
lished by the Society. Three
hundred and seventy-five new schools
were organized in the Northwest
illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Mime
sofa and Nebraska, and already 20
churches have grown out OF them,
and large numbers Of conversions are
reported. In Missouri and Arkansas
S,7Il children have been gathered
into lS2 new Sunday schools, and in
the South DOB schools were started,
and G97 otheSs aided, and multitudes
Of conversions are reported as the
first result. The work has extended
to the Pacific Coast, and ~ new
schools have been established.
All who love Christ and his cause,
rs well as all who love their country,
will rejoice to know that this great
National Society, so much honored
aDd blessed in the past, so much
needed in the present and for the
future, has recently adopted means
calculated to increase and extend it's
usefulness, especially In the ever in
creasing settlements Of the far reach
ing West, and among the destitute
and neglected ones Of the Southern
states.
This noble SOcietyis located at ll22
Chestnut Street, Philadelphia.

The great blunder which the North
ern Democracy makes Is in setting
up platform as Il mark for its an
,agonist. The outside party wants
no platform. Its policy is to get in.
When it succeeds, then it can shape
its aims and purposes to meet the
necessities of the situation. For us,
in Maryland and in the South gen
orally, we have but one thing to do
to accept the candidate, if we can,
who may be nominated; to vote
solidly; to hold our tongues, SO AS to
give the Radicals no opportunity of
distorting onr simplest expression,
and to trust to the future. Ii some
of our Northern friends had adopted
such a policy, they would not now
have been in position where they
feel compelled to take back what
they swore by few years ago, sim
ply because by so doing they think
they have a better chance TO win,
changing their principles as a gam
bier does his stakes.--Baitimore
Ga.ette.
And the Memphis appeal thus
expresses Southern appreciation O1
the Departure of Iowa Democracy:
The Iowa chaps are willing to
swallow the Constitution, "as 10 n0u
exists without reference to the means
by which the same became the law
OF the land" They have before
pronounced the late Amendments
null and void. But they are willing
to get Office, and let the kuklux
army go marching on for their sake.
"When my friend abnndons truth
and honor he abandons me-"
Meanwhile the Savannah Ga.
Repnbtican urges that the Southern
Democrats should not Mt present talk
about political matters. 1t counsels
Il course of 'nasterly inactivity"
and asks, "Why quarrel with the
Northern Democracy about abstract
theories and party platforms: The
latter may not suit the South, but Il
Democratic administration will, and
! that is what we are after"
