A Serious Undertaking.

For an American to marry in Mexico
is a somewhat serious business. He
must be three times married, twice in
Spanish and once in English, beside
having public notice of his intention
of marriage placed on bulletin board
for twenty days before the ceremony.
This is the law. The public notice can
be gotten around by the payment of a
sum of money, but a residence of ore
month is necessary. The three cere-
monies are the contract of marriage.

recognized by law since 185S-and the
usual but not obligatory church service.
The first two must take place before a
Judge, and in the presence of at least
four witnesses and the American Con-

form of marriage. These ceremonies
are necessarily in Spanish. Most we'd
dings are confirmed by church ser

And, though strive to keep them back,
Flow freely from my red ming eyes.

Such potent power to make men weep

One may possess heart of stone,
Or purpose strong to do or die,
May ne er in life have shed q tear,
Yet this hath power to make him cry.
But think not strange of its great power
Nor marvel at this burst of feeling,

it uses shoe brush, but have my doubts.
1t is well enough, perhaps when l have

Mice lcetle zoe;
Nice leetle zoe;

1t is a song admirably adapted to the
range Of her voice, which is a hybrid, only
two notes Of the gamut being required. AS
it is addressed to the baby, she has pitched
it with delicate consistency in the minor
key. For staying powers she can discount

This, though an honor Of which am deep

YOUNG MORAN,s FATE.
The Body Brought to Hartford

The Body Brought to Hartford.
 The body of Tommy Moran, of Daly's riders, killed at Brighton Beach race track Wednesday, was taken to Hartford yesterday. He was seventeen years old and was the best jockey of his weight in the country. He had won over $50, 1000 for MT. Daly Moran's father died some years ago. The expenses of the funeral will be borne by MT. Daly. No one is more grieved at the fatal accident than he. All of MT. Daly's horses have been drawn from the track until after the funeral. Moran was general fa- vorite with all who knew him. Iii the race in which he was killed there were thirty-one starters. When the horses were on their way from the half to the three-quarter post Biz gard was seen to fall, and cloud of dust arose and so obscured the horses that the riders could not see where they were Mo ran came next with Miss Daly and she fell over Blizzard and the boy was thrown to the ground. Bonnie Lee followed, staggered and stepped on Moran, breaking his neck His collar bone was also broken. MT. Daly, with all haste possible, reached the boy and almost went wild with grief when the boy expired. Dalys wife and daughter were at the park and went to the poor boy to render aid, but it was too late

 The National league has rescinded the rule forbidding players to sign with club until ten days after their release. Players can now sign immediately after their release and play the next day if they choose. This was done at the request of the Bostons, who were thereby enabled to play Purcell at once.
 The Bostons have lost seventeen games this season by one run.
 The withdrawal of the Waterburys leaves the Southern New England league with but three clubs-Hartford, Meriden and New Britain. Hartford is in a peculiar position. The directors do not know whether to con tinue in the attenuated league or join forces with the Eastern league. Meriden is shaky financially and may not last out the season, and altogether the Southern New England league is in bad shape.

THE BOTTOM OF THE GENEsTA. View of the English Yacht as Seen in the Dry Dock.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The exposure of the lines of the Genesta as she appeared in
 the dry dock in South Brooklyn to-day was
 a revelation to the mariners who gathered
 about the dry dock and descended the steep
 flight of marble steps to study the bottom of
 the boat. The bilges were about foot wider
 than the deck beam measurement and car ried to considerable depth. The entire hull
 presents not six inches ot straight line, but in every part sheers off into curves The
 bow cuts the water straight a rank rake running from the rudderpost under the counters to half way amidships
 The keel is little more than half the length of the yacht. Fourteen tiers of copper sheet ing, foot wide, cover the sides from the keel to within thirty inches of the deck line. The general appearance of the yacht out of water is ugly in the extreme, but betokens minimum of displacement and resistance while in motion. At sunrise to-day the CT CIV were again at work finishing the cleaning, after which the copper was battered fiat with mallets in places where it had bulged. Three or four sheets of copper were fastened on the bends, where the old sheeting had become dented. MT. J. Beaver Webb, the designer of the yacht, was active about the dock, and watched the cleaning and coppering with in terest. A Brooklyn photographer took views of the yacht from five different positions and at noon the sluices were thrown open again. At p. m. the yacht foated off the docks and was lowed out into the stream

A CHINESE TOWN BURNED OUT.

White Miners Raid Settlement And Drive Out Four Hundred Celes- tials.
 ROCK STRINGS, Wyo., September 3.-The largest coal mines in the entire Union Pacific system are at Rock Springs, 25O miles west of Cheyenne. The company recently import ed large number of Chinese to take the places of the white men employed. Yesterday afternoon the entire force of white miners, about 150 strong, organized, and, arming themselves with shotguns, marched to China town. After firing a volley into the air they reloaded and ordered the Chinamen to leave The order was obeyed at once, the Chinamen fleeing to the hills like 8 drove of sheep closely pursued by the miners, who fired several volleys at the fugitives with fatal eff feet The Chinese quarter was then set on fire, and thirty-nine houses owned by the company were destroyed, together with their contents. The miners next visited the vari- ous mines in the camp, unearthed all the Chlnamen at work and bade them flee for their lives. Of four hundred Chinamen here yesterday morning, not one remains. All are in the adjacent hills heading for Green River, fourteen miles west of here. Seven were killed outright by the shots fired by the miners and many were wounded. It IS said that several who were feeble and helpless from disease perished in the flames. Sheriff Young arrived from Green River on a special train yesterday afternoon with a posse of deputies, but they were too late to prevent the mob from carrying out their plans. The miners quietly dispersed after having made sure of the departure of the Celestials, and everything is quiet at this time.
