MARRIED IN A SALOON.
A Wealthy New York Man Greets His
Bride and Invites Everybody to Drink.

A Wealthy New York Man Greets His
Bride and Invites Everybody to Drink.
State street, Boston, has had a novel
sensation, says a special of the Goth inst
to the Philadelphia Times. 1t was fur
! nished by Col. b. j. Fox, from New York.
and Hannah J. Siverett, buxom young
woman, whom no one knows anything
| about. Col. Fox is fine-looking old GEN.
tleman, who some time ago retired from
business. He is about 60 years old, and
1t is said that he has invested the princi-
pal of his fortune beyond his own reach
and deVOtes his time to the endowment of
the liberal income it yields him. His fire.
quent pleasure trips, as they may be DO
lItely called, often take him very sudden
ly to distant cities. His friends are never
surprised to hear of him at San Francisco
one month and at New Orleans the next.
just now he happens tn be in Boston.
Here he met Miss Siverett, some say for
the hrst time, Yesterday. while others
alnTm that he has been in correspondence
with her for some weeks. Be that as il
may, the genial Colonel, about noon to-
day, drifted into Fred Evans lager beer
saloon, at No. State street. and asked
the proprietor If he might have the use of
one OF the slips for private ceremony.
The favor was granted. One messenger
was sent for Justice of the Peace. an
other for a marriage license, and in ten
minutes the Colonel was struggling 10
embrace his newly made and Yery coTpu-
lent bride. His emotions, the slipperv
floor or something else overcame him
and he did not succeed at first. His
friends assisted him to his feet and he
duly greeted his consort. His spirits rose
under the inspirations of the occasion. his
diamond-studded shirt-bosOm sweIIed with
hospitality, and he ordered the best the
place afforded for everybody. The invita-
ton reached the street in no time. and
the saloon was packed in five minutes.
They did not all take the trouble to con-
gratulate the bride and groom, but the
barkeepers were kept busy, and Col.
Fox's score climbed up with amazing
rapidity.
1t is said the ceremony was TO have
taken place yesterday, but the man who
was sent with a S. note to procure the
license got drunk with the money. Col.
Fox has taken quarters on Shawmut ave
nue., where he retired with his bride. and
his present intention is to remain in Bos-
ton.

The Peace Alliance

VIENNA, Feb. 2S.-The semi-Official rap
procurement between Russia and Ger
many is warmly welcomed here. An
Austro-German alliance Is the unaltera-
bic basis of Austrian policy. Austria
will continue to attach the greatest i'm
portance to Italy's participation in the
alliance. France probably will also par
ticipate in Russia's adhesion to the peace
alliance.

MORRIsON's TARIFF BILL.

n Substitute to be Reported Which
Decreases the Free List.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-At meeting
OF eight Democratic members of the Ways
and Means Committee to-day it was
unanimously agreed to report substitute
for the Morrison tariff bill. The substitute
is identical with the bill introduced by
Mr.. Morrison except that the free list is
confined to salt, coal and lumber. The
other articles on the free list, as prepared
by Mr.. Morrison, will come under the pro-
vision for the 20 per cent. horizontal re-
ductiOn. The Democratic members of the
committee say that no time has vet been
agreed upon for reporting the substitute
to the House, but 1t will be presented at
an early date.

Washington c

a Washington correspondent Of a
recent date says: The Virgin
ians, with great pertiGacity, continue
TO quarantine their Senators ane
Congressman at large. Mrs. Malone
gave an afternoon reception last week at
which no Democrats put in an appear
ance. Malone and his wife were invited
to the White House dinner to Senators and
Representatives last week, and it is the
general impression that it was one of the
few times he has been noticed by the
PRESIDENT. 1t is significant that even on
that occasion the invitation was due his
official rather than his personal status.
Malone lives in grand style, and mis-
wife dresses gOrgeOusly, but the best part
OF Washington society is shy Of him.

LOUISIANA UNDER WATER.
The Loss to Planters IncaIcuIable. and
the Suffering Intense.

The Loss to Planters Incalculable, and
the Suffering Intense.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 2S.-DisDatches
from Shreveport report that the water is
stationary. Nearly all the river planta-
tions for distance of 100 miles above the
city are under water. Below the city the
flooded district extends 80 miles, and on
the west side all except a few elevated
places are covered. On the east side the
banks are higher, and the country is not
so badly overfiOwed, although several
plantations on that side are under water.
1t is impossible to approximate the loss
sustained by planters in houses, fences,
stock and damage to land. but it is i'm,
mense. Very few levees have stood. The
water has spread out like sea to the
swamDs and high lands. There is much
suffering among the colOred people.

THE FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
1t Rages in England, and This Govern
ment on the Alert

ment on the Alert.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The Depart
ment of State has received information
from the United States Consul at Birming-
ham, Eng, to the effect that the foot and
mouth disease prevails among cattle IN
almost every county in England. The
Secretary OF the Treasury, having been
furnished with this information, has writ
ten to the Secretary of State requesting
him to notify the United States COnsuls in
Great Britain not to certify invoices of
cattle unless after an examination of the
animals by a veterinary surgeon. This
action also grew out Of the fact that some
hooded cattle which lately arrived at
Portland, Me-, from England, developed
the foot and mouth disease soon after
landing, and communicated it to other
cattle in the vicinity.

UrsnOIogy for April.

Now that the wretohed, dismal and bilious
March has gone the star gazer has a right to
look for some pleasant evenings in which to
pursue his labors. And right gloriously does
April open with all the planets on the eastern
or evening side Of the Sun, in the following
order Of apparent nesrness to that luminary
Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter
Mars and Uranus. There is something
curious in the thought that the nearest and
the most distant of the planets, Mercury and
Neptune, should figure as the vanguard OF
the planetary host the former being only
100000 miles from the king Of our system,
and revolving around him in IS days while
the latter is 1850 O0O,0OO miles away and
occupies 1854 years in swinging through his
vast orbit. ..
There will be two eclipses during April
partial eclipse of the Sun on the 25th,
visible only in Patagonia, South Africa and
islands of the south polar sea, and total
eclipse Of the Moon on the morning of the
Delaware gazette and state journal. (Wilmington, Del.) 1883-1902, 1884-04-03

The trustees of the poor should not
waste any time now in removing. the
smallpox hospital to the Blandy farm.
Justice to the hundred families dwelling
within three or four squares of the tenn
porary shanty, which Sheriff Martins
official misconduct made necessary, de-
mands that now the trustees have coma
into possession of the Blandy farm and
buildings, they shall forthwith redeem
their implied pr mise to provide quarters
there for the victims OF contagious
diseases.
We are informed that there Is feeling
among members Of the board that there
is no need to bs in hurry about this
thing that since warm weather is sp-
preaching and the smallpox appears to
have died out for the season, 1t would
probably do no harm to let the Fourth
and Broome streets shed stand till fall,
while the trustees leisurely proceed 10
obtain plans, have specifications drawn mp,
advertise for proposals and contract for the
erection Of hospital which, We presume,
will turn out in the long run to be as
much Of Sumner" 10th architeotur-
ally and to the pockets OF the tax payers
as the new and seemingly never to be-
completed ''palsce for the poor has long
since become. Here is reason enough
alone why there should ba Nc
delay. II tue work We're
to be started at once and
rushed right through the county might
secure very suitable building fer "a ,00O
or 81 1000; but let weeks and months roll
by while architects and contractors and
others who want to get their tingers into
the county treasury are allowed tn tinker
sd libitum on elaborate plans and
speculations and the chances are that
we shall pay s25 900 for a new pest
house and not get It this year either.
This ia phase OF the matter in which
the people OF the whole county are in
terested. There is another phase of the
question which directly concerns those
living near the Fourth and Broome stresta
syesore and, in not very remote degree,
everybody else in Wilmington.
There are hundred dwellings and a
public school near by. The children In
habiting those dwellings and attending
that school are liable in their sports to be
frsqusntly drawn into dangerous prox-
