ELLIS-TYLER.
Marriage of a Virginia Delegate to the
Daughter of the Ex-President,

Marriage of a Virginia Delegate to the
Daughter of the Ex-President.
Richmond, Va. Special.
Tn e marriage of the daughter of ex-President
Tyler, a Catholic, to MIR. William NJ. Ellis. a
Protestant, took place this Thursday evening.
1t is destined to become a notable event in the
history of the Catholic Church, in Richmond.
The ceremony was performed by the Right Rev.
Bishop Keane, in the Cathedral. 1t was the first
departure made from the established usage of
the church, which does not permit of the union
of persons of different faith in a regularly sancti-
fed place of worship. Such marriages usually
take place at the residence of either of the con
tracing parties. In the case of Miss Pearl Ty-
Ter, however, a daughter of an ex-President of
the United States, Bishop Keane made a special
dispensation which authorized the marriage in
the Cathedral, and he returned from the sessions
of the plenary council in Baltimore to perform
the ceremony in person.
Bishop keane prefaced the ceremony with an
address to the congregation, in which he refer
red to the fact that the brides father had re-
ceved the highest civic honors from the people
of his country, and that the groom held and had
discharged faithfully public trusts as the repre-
sentative of his people. The scene in the church
was peculiarly brilliant, the altar and the inter
lor OF the sanctuary being Respondent with gas
Jets and burning tapers, and beautifully adorned
with rare plants and flowers. The bride is q
beautiful brunette, tall and of graceful carriage.
She was attired in a rich white satin bridal dress
and veil, the same worn by her mother on the
occasion Of her marriage with ex- President Ty-
Ter. At the conclusion Of the ceremony the new
ly welded couple proceeded to the residence of
the brides mother, and thence, after donning
their travelling costumes, to the depot, and de-
parted northward on their bridal tour.

BUSHELS OF GOLD.
Georgia Darkies Digging for Treasure
Under Spiritual Direction.

STiRRsvILLE, GA, August A.-In June
of this year a negro came from Montgom-
cry, Ala, he said, to neighborhood about
short time as a day laborer on a planta.
tion of ]. Dukes. He soon made known to
negroes on the place and in the neigh
borhood that he had been directed
to this place by spirit to find
had been buried by band of robbers
about seventy years ago. He located the
place in a branch about one hundred yards
below the Covington and Monticello road,
about ten miles from Covington. He
promised the owner of the land one~fourth
of the gold when he found it; also to the
negroes who would assist him,
share. After much praying, many
incantations and much ceremony,
he located the precise spot for digging. He
sat near by with an open Bible, beneath
which several horse shoes were placed,
while rock was laid on the open pages.
He neither speaks nor allows any one of
the laborers to speak within a certain dis
tance of the excavation. They work night
and day with great earnestness. The
excavation is about fifteen feet
square, and is about twenty feet deep.
The dirt is lifted out with a bucket and
swept very rapidly. He does not allow
them to speak, nor chew tobacco, or stop
work during the time allotted to them to
work, lest it may cause the bad spirit to
overpower the good spirit under whose
guidance he is working. This bad spirit
has it in his power to move gold, if at any
time he may gain ascendency over the good
spirit. He has infatuated SO many negroes
many standing ready to fill the places of
those that are tired.

A Cat and Doa Fiqht.

Coal VALLEY, w. VA, August 23.-One
of the most remarkable fights in the history
of sporting events in this county occurred
here this afternoon. 1t was fight between
awildcat, caught in the adjacent mountains
and owned by T. L. Montgomery, and the
noted bull dog Cuff, the property of Joe
Robinson, of Charleston. The fight was for
$3.50 side, and was terrific one from the
beginning. Fully eighteen hundred per-
sons witnessed the fight in pit near the
village. The dog on being put into
the pit was eager for the fray, and sprang
boldly at the cat, that seemed to sulk in
her corner, purring viciously. The cat met
the dog and slapped him sharply in the
jaw. A regular rough-and-tumble scram-
gaining much advantage. The second
round showed but little variation from the
first, save that the cat appeared to be grow
ing frenzied and ferocious. The third
round was a repetition of the second. In
the fourth round the dog sank its teeth in
the cats side, but the hold being but skin
deep the cat jerked away. This SEEM
ed to infuriate the lynx, and
with indescribable fury it at
pit, tearing his hide and decorating his face.
The dog fought pluckily, but could not
catch hold, and the round ended in four
minutes. When time was called the cat
was fresh and eager to fight, but Cuff
backed to his corner and could not be
forced out, and the cat was declared the
victor. The cat weighed twenty-six and
the dog twenty-seven pounds. A match
between a cat yet to be caught and noted
dog for 81 900 side has been arranged to
take place as soon as the cat can be cap
tured.

CREMATED.
Destruction Of Fourteen Valuable
Blooded Horses.
Together with stables aud Dwelling -
Abdallah Park, Ky.-One Of the Stable
Hands Burned TO Death.

CYNrHIANA, KY, August M.-About one
O'Clock his morning fire was discovered
at Abdallah Park, half mile south Of this
city, owned by Mr.. Wilson. One can inn
agine the strain upon the nervous system
of Mr.. Wilson when he was aroused from
his sleep by what he said be thought to be
the cracking of fire, and then to find upon
investigation that such was his misfor-
tune. He walked out in his night
clothes with lantern and discovered
light among the trees opposite his
house, and he rushed into the stable,
adjoining his house, and discovered
that his whole stable was in blaze. He
ran back to arouse his family, and then en-
deayored to wake up his stable force, but
could find no one but boy named Larry
Sullivan, and they began to release the
horses in the red stable, knowing it was no
use to spend thought upon the animals
within the walls of the white stable, which
was fast going to destruction, and filed
with valuable animals. Mr.. Wilson and
the boy succeeded in getting all the animals
out of the red stable, but a few buggies
and vehicles were burned. The
white stable contained seventeen valuable
horses, and only three were rescued.
Among the horses lost were four fine stall
lions, Triumvir, Huron, Long Branch,
Chestnut Wilkes and Norman Sprague, all
fast trotters; Tom Bagby, Secrest mare,
records, some of them having trotted in
the races just closed at this park. Mr. j.
A. Secrest had just sold his mare to Chica-
go parties for S. 800, and had delivered her
in this city, but Mr.. Cochran failed to ship
and returned her to Mr.. Wilson's
stable last night, which is an
evidence that fortune smiles upon
the one and frowns upon the other. Tom
Coons, record 2:22, was released from the
stable, but ran wild down the track in
front of the grand stand, jumped the fence
and ran stake in his breast, and fell with
such force as to cause his death in less
than an hour. He was owned by P. P.
johnson, of Lexington, and was valued at
S., 600. After the horses were released
they ran wild, and could hardly be kept
from returning to the burning stable,
and it is said that one horse actu-
ally did get into the stable and per-
ished. All the vehicles, wagons and buggy
poles, horse boots and other traps, amount
ing in value to several thousand dollars,
were entirely consumed. Mr.. James
Honau, who was employed to rub horses in
the employ of Mr.. Wilson, was burned to a
crisp, and Jno. Rearton, an employe and a
dummy, was sleeping in the stable, but
aroused in time to jump out the window.
Mr.. Wilson places his loss at S10O, 900.

afternoon. tearing deep hole, rising

height of over five hundred feet. A valu-
able dog was carried up eighty feet, and
fell to the ground lifeless. The cyclone

lieved some damage resulted. The storm
continued only few moments, and came
without warning. The sky was clear and
the weather warm, when suddenly fun

descended, striking the earth like cannon
ball, and rising instantly. 1t is reported
that two men chopping wood in Trinity
bottoms, three miles from the city, were
ir riured by the cyclone.

CHICAGO, August 23.-Henry Walker,
Oscar Radcliffe, Mrs. Pease, Mrs. Slater
and Mrs. Parker, who were the ostensible
managers of the "Home for Gods Or
phans," were all bound over to the grand
jury to-day for ill treatment OF
children left in their charge. The
testimony of four of the young inmates
tended to show that large number of
babies had died in the asylum, apparently
through want of care, and according to
stories related by the young children in
court, they were subjected at times to rig.
orous treatment, by being locked up alone
in dark rooms and given very little food.
The court looked upon the managers of the
institute as belonging to dangerous class
of religious fanatics.

DEATH OF SURGEON WOODWARD.
HIS Friend. Deny that IL was = Case ofselI.
Murder.

WASHINGTON, August 22-The friends of
the late Surgeon Woodward, of the army,
express doubts as to the accuracy of the
report that he committed suicide in a
Philadelphia insane asylum, and say they
fall was the result of an accident. DIR.
Woodward's confidential clerk said
to-day: "Dr. Woodward's malady
was caused, his friends state, by
overtaxing his brain with study.
At the time President Garfield was
shot he had just recovered from the effects
of an ancident while riding on Pennsylva>
mia Avenue, by which one of his legs was
broken, and he was hardly able to get
around. The care and attention bestowed
by him upon the Presidents case, in his
weakened condition, seriously impaired
his health, but after the Presidents death
he resumed his confining and exhausting Ia
bors at the Medical Museum. He was q per-
sistent student. and after leaving his office
in the evening, carried his labors far into
the night in his study at his home" The
statement of the case by the Westchester

Fairlamb, of Chester, was called to DIR.

an phia Railroad ON Sunday evening, to hold
inquest on the body of DIR. Joseph ]. Wood.
ward, an inmate, who had committed sui
eide while laboring under unusual stress
of mind. The Doctor had been
under care for about four months, but at no
time was he violent or in any way trouble
some. He generally preferred to be let alone
and evinced delicacy in having intru>
sion upon his privacy. Though of a strong
and healthy physique, he imagined himself
of delicate constitution. He was as regu-
lar as clock-work in his habits, and among
the best patients in the Home.
On Sunday morning he was
passed on the stairway by one of the
attendants who saw him on the edge of the
porched roof. A few minutes later, before
anything could be done to rescue him, he
threw himself OF the roof backward, falling
on the steps below, receiving injuries from
which he died on the afternoon of the same
day. DIR. Rowland, of Media, was
summoned as soon as the casualty soc>
CURED, but nothing could be done for the
unfortunate man. After being car.
ried to a bed inside the house he regained
consciousness, and asked what had hap>
pened, and on being informed, said that
from the time he had passed the attendant
on the stairs until regaining his senses in
the house everything was a blank. A
verdict in accordance with the above facts
was given. He was very sensitive on the
question of suicide, and seemed very anx-
ious to avoid any death that he thought
would cast reflection on the family"
