A WEDDING AGAINST HIS WlLL.-Jscob
Wilson has presented to the adges Of the Court
Of Common Pleas, in Philadelphia, through
ThomasJ. Diehl. his counsel, o petition for q
divorce from his wife Hattie. Wilson is but
seventeen years of age, and his spouse is few
months his junior. Tho adoescont couple
were made one at $50 on the night of Msy 90
BY the Rev. A. Mansbip The marriage, young
Wilson nov swears. Was procured ty force and
coercion 90 the part of the young lady and was
net subsequently, confirmed BY suy ao. of his.
She declared, he AYERS, that she WAS about to
become the mother of child of which he WAS
the father. She threated, be alleges, that if be
would not become her husband that her father
would kill him upon aecsrtaining her condition,
and thus induced him to believe that bis life
was in danger. Thus he felt as if be had 10
choose death or wife. After the marriage
ceremony had been performed both the youth
tul contractors went to ths homes of their
parents aud did not at any time come to-
gsther again. Suts quently. the petitioner
AYERS. h0 lesrned that the statements made by
the young woman respecting him were wholly
false. lie also accuses her of immodesty. For
these reasons he asks to be released from the
bonds of matriuony, into which he entered q.
If he had never been married.

FLASHES FROM ATLANTA.
A COnhagratiOn at COnYers - The
Railway Commissioners COnven-
tIOn-The Georgia Press AssOcIa-
t1On-The Exposition.

ATLANTA, October 12.-There was a dis
astrous fire at Conyers this morning early,
destroying the cotton warehouse of ]. A.
Stewart, Jr., damaging the Whitehead
House and injuring several brick stores.
The total loss is about thirty thousand dol
lars, with trifing insurance.
The convention of the Railroad Commits
sioners of the various States is still in ses-
sion here. Alabama, California, Connecti-
cut, Georgia, Ohio, South Carolina, Michi-
gan, Iowa, Kentucky and Missouri are rep
re ented by one or more commissioners.
Nothing of Importance was transacted
save to resolve that they would not request
Congress to enact any inter State railroad
regulations or to establish national COM
mission. The opinion of the convention
was that when such legislation is needed
Congress will enact, and the recommends
tion would be useless, II not impertinent.
The Georgia Press Association met In
formally at the Markham House this noon,
and proceeded to the Exposition grounds,
ex Governor M L. Benham, of South Caro-
lima, and other distinguished gentlemen
being In the party. Another meeting will
be held at the Markham House in the
morning, and formal visit be made to the
Exposition during the day.
The excursion of the Board of Trade, of
Cincinnati, is postponed, and there was no
crowd here to day.
The weather continues delightful, and
work on the Exposition is progressing rap
idly.

NORTH AFRICA.
The French Occupation of Tunis-A
Proposed QuadrupIe Alliance.

TUNIs, October 1.-Two mora railroad
stations have been burned. The letters Of
independent correspondents confirm the
statement that what really delayed the ad-
vance on Kairwan is the fact that the ar
rangement by which Ali Bey's troops were
to protect the railway and preserve order in
the north, while the.sFrench chastised the
rebels in the southern part OF the regency,
proved utter futile. A revolt has broken
out in the Kroumir country.
NJ. Roustan, the French Minister, has ad-
dressed circular to the representatives of
the powers, informing them of the occupa-
tion OF Tunts by virtue of an understanding
with the Bey, the occupation to be purely
