THE BIG CELEBRATION FRIDAY NIGHT.
Reported for the STAUNToN VINDICAToR.1
WAYNEsBoRo, Nov. 25, 1884.
Little Tammany is little, but she is
loud. On Friday night last, the Demo-
Gratis Of this place and vicinity celebrated
the great victory of November 4th by a
torchlight procession, speaking, &c. The
town was brilliantly illuminated, and
small print could easily BIZ read on the
streets. A detachment of the Stanton
Artillery with two cannon was present.
The cannons were PLACED on the summit of
Gallaher's Hill, which oyerlooks the
town.
About SIX O'Clock p. 20. the procession
was formed at the G. & .. depot in the
following order: A gentleman bearing a
banner containing Cleveland and Hen
bricks picture, Citizens Cleveland Guards,
Fishburne Military School, Mother 81 ub
bards, citizens in divisions with torches
and transparencies.
About $50. at the firing of the first can
non, as lad previously been agreed upon.
the procession left the depot and amid
the roaring of the cannon and the blaze
of the fireworks, passed through the differ
ent streets of the town and finally halted
in front Of the old Waynesboro House,
upon the porch CT which the speakers
stood. Capt. James Bumgardner, Meade
F. White and VIM. FL. II. Lynn. all Of
Staunton, were then introduced in the
order in which have named them, and
made short bnt eloquent speeches, About
eight OF nine hundred persons were pres
ent, about 500 of whom were in line in
the procession. The display of fireworks
vas the best ever known here, and the
small boy and his tin horn added to the
noise. Taken altogether, it was the most
enjoyably occasion Little Tammany has
ever known, and as many, il not more
persons were present than at any one time
before in her history. B.

A SEA BIRD CAPTURED.-Lastw week
Joe Merriken. "a lad of thirteen, saw in the
garden of the D. D. q B. Institution,
large bird flying back and forth. With a
ROCK ne brought it to the ground and
caught it. The bird, which was sea.gull
measuring five feet from tip to tip, showed
great strength and fought we'll. It bit
through the boys finger apd it was only
with the assistance of a man that it was
finally killed. DR.. Traphaegen, Professor
OF Chemistry of Prof. Rabies School, who
is also an amateur taxidermlst, has mount
ed this wanderer from the sea in nice style.
How the bird came 50 far inland in the
absence of any great storms, is strange.

snQ.-The Committee, of which Mr.. John
lesser is Chairman, to which was refer
red Mayor Gordon's resolution to abolish
the present system Of ranking and num-
bering the police, reported IN favor of its
adoption. The same committee reported
against any present increase of the police
force because there is no provision made
for the payment of any increase. The
Committee on Ordinances was directed
to draw up an ordinance making new reg

with the distinction of day" police and
might" police.
On a petition from citizens of the Wes-
tern part or the city asking the appoint

locality, and recommending G. S. Rusmi-

it should be done for the benefit of the
city generally" Adopted.
Streets.-It was ordered to open clogg-
ed culvert now damaging the yard Of Mrs.

Miss Allie M. Jewell, who had left that
town accompanied by two young gentle
men, in carriage. Later in the evening,
Chief Waters received another telegram
from the same gentleman, saying: ''Do
not stop them; let them CO." He then
paid no further official attention to the
matter. About O'Clock Wednesday morn
Ing, a carriage drove up to the Virginia
Hotel and very pretty blonde young girl
got out, escorted by two gentlemen, both
young and refined looking. The lady was
registered as Miss Allie M. Paul and the
gentlemen registered as L. B. Powell and
S. e. Paul. The young lady went to her
room, and after awhile the young men
went to their room. In the morning the
travellers were called for the Valley train
and left for Hagerstown, Md. At Hagers-
town, Miss Allie M. Jewell was married
to Mr.. Powell. who Is student at WASH
ington & Lee and is from Missouri, and

and at which Mr.. Powell was to have been
Mr.. CTS best man. On Monday night Mr..

two weeks ago for the wedding,) Miss
Jewell, Mr.. Powell and the other groOms-
men and bridesmaids went to the church,
and rehearsed the exits. entrances. &C., of
the ceremony. On Tuesday night at Z
o'clock Miss Jewell and Mr.. Powell
elOped. II is said that the young lady was
engaged to Mr.. Powell before she was en-
gagged to Mr.. Carlisle. The gentlemen
from whom we get our information say
the excitement in Lexington, Wednesday
morning, exceeded that over the election
of Cleveland, and the streets were dotted
with groups of people discussing the ex-
citing topic. Mr.. Jewell was formerly an
esteemed citizen of Staunton. Miss Jewell
was great favorite in Lexington society,
both for her brightness and beauty, and
either of the young gentlemen would be
desirable match for young girl. The
bride is quite young.
