"Yesterdsy evening at o'clock Mr.. George

daughter of Judge Caldwell, were married
by the Rev. DR.. Welsh. The ceremony was
performed at the residence OF Mr.. Charles
Martin uncle Of the bridegroom. Mr..
Howell anu AlT. fudIiH 4dmIty were lHe

profound sensation, and for several hours
after the event the telephone business was
very active. For reasons which none but
parents know, the marriage was opposed by
the parents of the bride, and for reasons
which none but lovers feel, the marriage was

PIONEER COTTON MILL.
Nearly Ready Now TO Begin work
Steam 90 be Raised shortly.

The notice in Wednesdays APPEAL that
steam would be raised yesterday at the Pho
peer Cotton Mills caused many citizens to
call there during the day. The president,
Mr.. Cleveland Clark, informed a reporter
yesterday that some unlocked-for stops in
Hning-up their engine would delay raising
steam for few days-possibly until Satur-
day. The entire factory shows every APP
pearance OF its nearing completion. Nearly
all the machinery has arrived and Is in posi-
ton, and wondrous lot of iutricate-lookiDg
machines they are. The buildings are Of
brick and very commodious, consisting Of an
office, which is built independent of
the main building, and occupies the
northeast corner of the lot. The machinery
buildings are one and two story, extending
east and west, with wing at the southwest
corner for the engine. Toe one story build
ing contains three machines, which first take
the cotton from the bales clean and prepare
it into laps for the cardiug machines On
the first floor and in the east end Of the two
story building are forty Or fifty csrding ma
chimes which card the cotton and pass it to
several machines called railway heads, which
run the cotton into large tin cans, when it is
carried 10 the drawing machines which pre-
pare il for the Slower machines, where it is
worked from coarse TO a fine roaming ma
chine and then to the spinners, from which
it passes to the spinning frames, which are
situated In the east end OF the building on
the same floor. From the frames 10 the
spooling machines from the spoilers TO the
Wrappers, from the Wrappers to the slashers,
and from those machines it is carried to the
looms, where it is woven into Osna burgs, sheet
ings, and goods of that style or it is passed
from the spooling tables to some of the twIne-
making or rops-making machines, of which
there complete line.
Mr.. w. V. Rounds, the superintendent.
was most minute in his explanation to the
visitors OF the use and modes OF each ma
chine and its operations, and appears most
confident of the success of the enterprise.
He says, furthermore, that he can secure all
the frst-class labor he can give employment
to. The Pioneer Cotton Mills promise to be
in full operation soon their spinning
arrive, which were shipped some
five days age and would have doubtless
reached here but for the high water

ty. Shall the course be heightened? De
ciGedIy not; Tor although by that step we
may prevent overflow on the other hand We
would make "dry fork" Of the
great river in the dry months Of the year
The engineer who makes cutoff, and by
mattresses, piliDg, etc, gives the river a
shortened course, will drown us; while he
who stops up the chutes and shortcuts will
give US a wonderful display OF sandbsrz in
the summer and fall. Levees protect indi-
viduals temporarily, but are no remedy for
the country generally. Ii the banks were
leveed with cast-iron from Cairo 10 the gulf,
the work would only have the effect OF rals-
ing the entire bottom Of the river precisely
the amount that the levees are raised above
the top Of the bank, and after no great
cycle OF time new levse would be required
on the top of the old one This fact has been
shown BY the l-veeing Of the River Pc, in
Italy, about which stream 1t Is said that IN
some places the bottom of the river is now
where the surface used to be; but perhaps
this is exaggeration. Ii Captain Cowdon's
plan of outlets would only draw of the sur
plus water when me river Is over-full, it
would be excellent; but if these outlets will
draw away any portion Of the scant water
we have in dry easons, they may be great
evil. The deduction from the foregoing the
DRY of hydraulics is that the length of the
river is just what il ought TO be, for it ia just
what nature intends II 10 be; but il is too
wide. Its great width has the tendency TO
form great bars and these reeiprocslIy cause
the river TO widen, and the results are, in the
spring, when freshets occur, the surplus water
is obstruc;ed by these barz, and necessarily
overhoHs the banks while during low stages
OF the river the water is spread out in a wide,
thin sheet, meandering among great sand
dunes. The remedy would appear to be this

With general width OF 5000, feet it such
could be maintained, the river would soon
cut itself deep commodious channel.
The widest place in the Mississippi river is
at Plumb Point Bend, where il is over two
miles wide, and there at low water the river
can scarcely be seen rs it winds It's way among
the numerous ard immense sand bars. The
narrowest place between Cairo and the gull
is at the foot Of the Third Chickasaw Bluff,
three miles below Randolph, where the river
is not more than 500 yards wide, and is now,
even atits highest stage, less than seventy five
ieet in depth. J.B.C.

Rice's Opera Comigue.

Last night the Rice Opera Comique Com
pany appeared at Leubrie's Theater in Gill
bert and Sullivan's Rn.ienee. The public has
already been acquainted with the nature OF
this witty, tuneful little opera, and there is
no OF casion TO make further mention of it.
The merit of the performance was consider.
BILE, but to one who saw the Pdtienee OF the
Emma Abbott Company, it was not surpass-
ingly good. Perhaps, in a matter of this
kind, it would be invidious to draw
comparisons, and yet one can hardly
refrain from doing 50. The superiority Of
the Patience of the Emma Abbott Company
looms up Enthusiastically. Miss Abbott, Miss
Annsndale, Mr.. Olmi, Mr.. Stoddard, Mr..
Tams, Mr.. Appleby, and even that charming
actor and played-out singer, Castle, formed
such cast as one seldom sees in comic
opera. The opera last night was intTus'ed
to only moderately capable persons, and the
pleasure it afforded the audience present is
evidence rather of the delightful nature of
the music and the sparkle of The dia-
Iogue than of the excellence of the
company. Even in the matter Of
piquancy and sprightly carriage, the
Rice Company is far behind the Abbott Com
pany. The Reginald Bunthorne" of Henry
Z. Dixey was an excessively funny perform
ance; his aesthetic postuFing was soulfully
idiotic and consummately insane. He is q
talented low comedian, discovery OF Rice's,
who was engaged originally to take the part
of the hind legs in the donkey in ErIngeiins;'
but his comic talent was so decided that he
has been thrust into important roles He had
a tendency to burlesque the part of ''Bun-
thorne" lat night, showing that his
ability runs in that groove. Mr.. Eugene
Clark was a fair, not too fair, but
Just fair enough, "Grosvenor," but he GER
tainly failed to represent the idyllic poet in
his efforts tc appear like Simple Simon"
W. II. West was an excellent Colonel Cal
verley," and sang better than any OF the
male portion of the cast. George A. Schil-
Ter was fairly funny as the "Major," and
Mr.. Metzger's Duke" was neither here nor
there. Miss Rose Temple was a charming
Patience" singing sweetly and acting well.
Miss Carrie f. Perkins as "Lady Angelo"
and Miss May A. Sawyer as Lady Jane"
were moderately good. The chorus was con-
lacking in unanimity and training,
and the choral effects were accordingly I'M
couth, though strong. Tonight the company

UNION REVIVAL SERVICES.
The Good Work Continuing with En-
couragin$ Results.

The union revival services continue with
encouraging results. Large and intelligent
audiences assemble at the First Baptist
church in the afternoon at 80 O'Clock,
specially intended for children and christians.
Last night at the Cumberland Presbyterian
church the Rev. Z. 2. Hammond preached a
sermon on "The Prodigal Son" with marked
effect, and the congregation were held SPELL
bound with delight in hearing the gospel
sung by the Rev. W. E. Hughes, of Liver
pool, England, as never has been sung in this
city since il was sung by the lamented Bliss.
Large numbers remained to the inquiry meet
ing, and no doubt many found Christ pre-
cieus to them as their savior. Several
young converts gave account OF their con-
version, moving many in the audience to
tears. Those who follow up these meetings
learn TO love them.
The afternoon meeting as usual will be
held to-day, and st 30 pm, at the Cum
berland Presbyterian church, the last night
meeting Of the week will lie held.
