Miss Agnes Shannon, resident of this
place and sister of Mrs. Mason, was married
this afternoon in the Catholic Church at Iron
Mountain, to Roderic Mcdonald, also a resi-
tended the bride, and Mr.. John Hynes, as
groomsman, waited on the groom.
The wedding was the greatest event of the
social season. The ceremony was perform
ed by Rev. Thomas Cooney, at 3 P. NJ.
The contracting parties Immediately re-
turned TO Graniteyille, where sumptuous
repast and large number of friends with
their congratulations awaited their return.
The whole party, after partaking of Che re-
past, proceeded to the hall, which was hand
somely decorated, where they found the
musicians anxious to begin work.
The happy couple led off with the Grand
March, which was executed beautifully. The
dancing then commences in earnest and was
continued on to the ''wee, small hours in
the morning; dancing, singing, and numer-
Gus rounds of refreshments,-all went to
make it one of the most social and pleasant
events in the memory of Graniteville.
The bride is bright and pretty brunette
and looked very lovely in her handsome and
costly bridal robes; she is very popular, as ii
also the groom. They go Immediately t.
keeping house, where they will receive theil
friends with pleasure, and personally return
thanks for the numerous and beautiful pres
ents that were bestowed upon them; not fol
the gifts alone, but also for the good wishes
that ACCOMPANIED them. Both are appre
ciated. X.

A few New York Republican politi-
clans met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
the other day and discussed informally
the prospects of the Grand Old Party.
The Hon. Richard Crowley, formerly
United States Attorney for the North
ern district, and afterward Representa-
tive in Congress from Niagara, was
there. The Tribune says of him:
He criticised with some vigor the Presi-
dents Sunday fishing trip, which he charac-
terized wholly out of keeping with the dig
nifty and decency of the Presidential Office,
whatever might be the Presidents personal
religious belief; his action wounded the re-
ligious feelings of the great masses of the
people of the country, and in that respect il
was wrong thing.
TITS truly to be regretted that those
Republican politicians who are so sens.
tive upon the question of Sunday Oh.
servance, should be so case-hardened
when it comes to questions of public
honesty. They follow in the wake OF
those good Christians Of all ages who
compound for the sins they're inclined tc

The Bismarck Telegram is vigorous,
if not complimentary; and we hope
his untoward criticism is not called
forth by the avoidance of mis- burgh by
the Light Cavalry: "Since the days
of the merry thirteen spoken of in the
Telegram some weeks ago, another
thirteen infest the country. Bart
Mitchell returned from Ironton, hav-
ing gone there to see the great military
display, and he says the thirty ragged,
dirty uniformed scapegoats who are
going about the country as militia and
quilting the people into witnessing
their unskilled attempts at going
through a military drill, are the hard
est lot of humbugs he ever saw. Some
old woman ought to take broom and
run them out of the country"

Henry Nichols, Chairman of the
Autobiography League, New York,
says of the Civil Service Act, that the
best legal minds in the Union believe
it to be uncons titutional. AT an Anti
Monopoly League meeting of July z
the Hon. Dennis Mcmahon, a promi.
nent lawyer in New York, delivered
an address, which has been widely
published, in which he discusses its
unconstitutionality at considerable
length, and from legal standpoint,
and proves it conclusively. This adj
dress has attracted the attention of
many thinking people, whom it has
convinced. among others the Hon.
Frederick A. Conkling, himselfan able
student of constitutional law, who says,
in letter recently written to friend:
'.For myself, I entertain no shadow of
doubt regarding the soundness of your
argument. Indeed. 1 am at loss to
understand how any man who reads
tile Constitution can entertain the
shadow of a doubt upon the subject.
The provision embodied in section 2,
But the Congress may by law vest the
appointment of such inferior officers
as they think proper in the President
alone, in the courts of law. or in the
heads of departments it seems to me,
settles the matter beyond the possibili-1

would directly be much better "heel-

SPENDING THE BRIDAL NIGHT IN A
GRAVE YARD.-Allen D. Travis, youth of
Peekskill, loved, wooed and won Miss An
ME Fisher, an eighteen-year. belle of the
same village Last Sunday they made up
their minds to adopt the holy state of mat
rimony and started in q carriage for the
residence of the Rev. DR.. Taylor, of Shrub
Oak, q few miles away from Peekskill. Ar
rived at Shrub Oak they found the parson
was at his church and there they followed
him. When the sermon was over DIR. Tay-
lor told the young couple he would be glad
to tie the nuptial knot at his home and ac-
cordingly, having hitched the horse IN q
shed in the churchyard, they went to the
parsonage and were made one. Mr.. and
Mrs. Travis returned for their carriage and
horse, but they had so many sweet nothings
to whisper to one another that the shades
of eve were falling fast before they entered
the carriage and started on their drive
home. When they reached the church
yards iron gates they found them locked.
They shouted for assistance, but as the
church was situated in lonesome spot their
cries were of no avail. The walls around
the churchyard were too high to scale and
the iron spikes of the gates forbade any
rash fooling with their points Finally they
decided to make the best of bad job and
spent the night under the shed, hungry,
cold and tired. Next morning the sexton
discovered them during his morning rounds
and liberated the bride and bridegroom.

SOME FOLKS think that animals and insects
have no sense-that they were born with instinct
and the first animal or insect was precisely as
smart as any in this day and generation, but such
is a mistake The lower created creatures pro-

we were q boy that we could always find cut
worm close down by cabbage plant or cornstalk
that he had nipned and it was no trouble to get
rid of him. Every farmer knows this. Now,

LOVE AMONG THE ESALvATIoNIsTs.- Great
excitement was created at Wilmington, DEL,
Tuesday by the announcement that Scout
Linnens FJanner, of the Salvation Army,
eloped the previous night with handsome
young woman named Martha Taylor. The
fugitives went to Philadelphia, where they
got married and returned by late train to
Wilmington. When they were emerging
from the railroad station they were met by
the BRIDES father and brother. The latter
took charge of his sister and the irate father
knocked the scout down and thrashed him,
while he cried out, II want my wife!" At
ter being thrashed the scout fled, and the
girl, begging piteously to go with her hus--
band, was taken home. Later she escaped
and spent the remainder of the night with
feminine Salvationists. Tuesday shejoined
her husband and both left town. The COM
mander of the Brooklyn barracks says Elan
ner is insane and has another wife living.
He is about forty years old and his bride
twenty. The elopement has resulted in the
discharge of Flanner from the army and the
issuance of warnings to commanders OF bar
racks in various parts of the country not to
receive him.
