HIS OWN LAWYER.
Bob Hooten Argues His Case Before
the Police Court.

Yesterday afternoon Bob Hooten vas
before Judge French, charged by Special
Officer Mack with having created a dis
turbance at the Toledo Theater. The
testimony was to the effect that Bob and
a couple OF other gentlemen occupied a
box and were SO demonstrative that the
performance was interrupted, whereupon
Officers Mack elected him from the premi-
ses. On the street there was considerable
loud talking and excitement n an arrest
followed. After the testimony had been con-
Guided Bob made an argument in his own
behalf, in which, to use his W term, he
turned the officer over in great shape
much to the amusement OF the spectators
and disgust of the officer. The Judge con-
cluded that a case had been made out and
the accused was fined $40 and costs and
took an appeal. Hooten states that he
was approached before the trial and a
proposition made to square the case if he
would pay the costs, which he declined
to do.

FROM THE LOOM OF LABOR

Many Michigan employers are fighting
the new ten-honr law, and many iron-mills
are closed in consequence.
The fires in the glass factory at Browns
vile. Pa, were not started up as expected.
The improvements arc not quite Completed,
but will be soon.
There is Joy in Bridgeton, y. j., over the
report that the East Lake Mills will be re-
opened in October, and that the copper
mines at Lambcrtville, n. j., will probably
be reOpeneu.
Between A~merican-made andforeign plate
glass there is little real difference, the for
mer looking every bit us well as the latter,
and the price Of the home made article be-
Ing somewhat lower than the lowest figure
at which the foreign goods can be offered.
In the United States there are 10000 Or
canized iron and steel workers, 10000 or
ganized printers, $4,000 organized labor
crs, 60, 900 organized coal miners, 1000
900 Knights OF Labor, and other organiza-
lions amounting altogether to about
1000, OOO.
The number OF trades unions registered
in England and Wales is 21O, theiraccumu-
lated funds reaching t629,594, and their
membership PAS, 1853. Scotland has regis
tered fourteen societies, with funds amount
ing to El6,S91, an income OF tl2,3?4 per
annum, and II, $40 members. Ireland has
twenty-five registered societies, their total
worth being f3,oss, a yearly income OF
e. .697, and a membership OF 3,lOO.
For years the wages OF gas and steam
filters in New York and other places have
been fixed at or about so cents a day less
than those OF plumbers. A couple OF years
AGO a movement was made i'll New York to
bring all the men OF both trades into a sin
Gle union, and recently the demand was
made that all should receive alike, $500
a dav, the plumbers rate. The plumbers
backed the gas and steam filters, and the
movement, though a brief strike was in
some cases the result, has been successful.
The Spring City Miners Union, says the
Winnemucca, Nevada. Silver State, at II
meeting held last week, disbanded their
organization and decided their hal! and
other property to the public school OF the
district. The miners notified Superintend-
| ent McCurdy, OF the Paradise valley mine,
! that they would work for $3.50 per day
| after October LIST. The great depression i'll
the mining industry caused by the unpre-
| cedentedly heavy discount on silver bullion.
| induced this action ON the part OF the
miners, and only four members dissented
| from the views OF the majority.

A Fitting Tribute to the Great S~agebrush
SOngstress.

PARIS, October Mile. Nevada was
married to-day to DR.. Raymond Palmer Of
birmingham, England. The civil service
took place at the English Embassy. and
the religious ceremonies at the church OF
the Passionist Fathers. The attendance
was large. American, English and Partisan
fashionable society was well represented.
The occasion was marked by much enthu-
siasm, and the display OF flowers and Gle
CANT costumes lent an air OF gayety to the
scene. The whole OF the American colony
attended the ceremonies. Rev. Father
Michael Watts Russell Of the Passionist
order, rector OF st. Joseph's Retreat, High
Gate Hill, London, delivered an eloquent
Grafton, and a string band furnished music
for the occasion. Miss Laura Moore sang
a solo with a harp accompaniment. The
wedding breakfast was served at the Hotel
Athens.
DR.. Palmer is a surgeon by profession,
and resides in one OF the London suburbs.
One of his sisters is the wife OF Carlo Chiz-
cola, Miss Nevada's manager, and another
is a vocalist, who has made quite a repu-
tation in England and Southern Europe
as Agnes Palmer: DIR. Palmer is 2S years
of age, and both he and his bride are de-
vout Catholics.
The four bridesmaids were fellow-pupils
OF the singer, who have been ~studylng IN
Paris with Nine. Marchesi. Misses May
Taft and Nellie Everest OF Philadelphia,
Miss Morris, a beautiful little creature OF
Detroit. and Mary Johnston OF Washing
ton. The best man was Sig. Salvini, the
great tragedian, and among the ushers
were Henry F. Gillis, manager OF the
American Exchange in Europe, and prcsi-
dent of the American Exchange in Paris.
Mrs. Mackay's two little boys and two
bright, handsome lads, sons OF Mrs. Chiz-
zola acted as pages.
The wedding dress was OF white, uncut
velvet, which, with Il large number OF other
elegant and elaborate costumes for re-
captions and other occasions were made
by Worth. Instead OF an engagement ring,
Miss Nevada wore a bracelet locked on
one arm, and the doctor carried the key on
his watch chain. The design is a five
barred gate with the fence OF tiny gold
| %clasping around the arm. The post and
oars OF the gate are studded all over with
| fine diamonds.

An Insane Man.

Last night the man Tom Harding OF
whose arrest for insanity mention was
made in The MINER OF Sunday, was before
a commission in the Probate Court, Judge
Irvine presiding. Since his Incarceration
Harding hes made a bedlam OF the jail to
the disgust OF the other prisoners and the
attendants. He has been building houses. rid
ing horses and been shot fifteen times. When
before the commission he talked rather
nationally for a while but finally relapsed
into his crazy mood and told the story OF
his having been shot fifteen times in the leg
and offered to exhibit the Wounds. For
reasons best known to themselves the COM
mission decided to hold the case under
amusement Until Friday and Harding was
sent back to Jail.
