LONDON, August 15-The sensation Of
the day in social circles Is the announce
ment OF the secret marriage Of Lord Chief
Justice Colsridge to Miss Amy Augusta
jackson Lawford, whose Acquaintance he
made while on the steamer returning
from his visit to the United States. The
greatest secrecy was observed by all par
ties to the affair. Even the most init
mate friends Of the Lord Chief Justice
have been kept in the dark with regard to
his intentions, and althoughi it dbeen
repeatedly reported that the napHal knot
had been tied, It was not until to-day that
the wedding actually occurred. Lord
Coleridge refused TO give the slightest in
timation Of his intentions 10 any OF the
reporters, and It was onlyby keeping 0
close watch on the parties that the fact CT
the marriage to-day was learned.
The lady whom Lord Chief Justice
Coleridge marriage yesterday, Miss Amy
Augusta Jackson Lawford, Is not an Amer,
icau as has been reported. She Is o
daughter OF the late Henry Barring Law
ford, OF the Indian service, and was re-
turning home to London from o travelling
tour of America when his Lordship met
and courted her. She Is brunette OF
thirty, and very attractive. Lord Cole
ridges passion for her cooled after his ar
rival in England, but threats OF q breach
OF promise suit induced him TO consent to
o secret marriage. No member OF the

Serious Ranges Of the Little Green Pests ON
Growing Vegetation.

Growing Vegetation.
CINCINNATI, August 16.-A pest has ap-
peared in some parts Of Ohio during the
past two years that may prove q serious
danger II it tcontinues TO increase. 1t is
nothing other thanthe green grasshopper.
1t is an insignificant little creature indi-
yidually considered, but in the mass its
rayages are terrible. Only a few spots,
mere dots on the map Of the State, have
been affected by IT, but the evil, which
began to attract attention last year,
has, from an increase Of its field oi
operations and the extent Of its mis-
chief, excited much interest this year.
It's rayages hayebeen felt near Bellefon.
.tsine, in Central Ohio, and In portions oil
Russ county, In Southern Ohio. In the
latter place the grasshoppess ate down
potatoes, tomatoes, young clover and tim.
othy sown last winter, of which they
made a clean sweep. They even invaded
fields oil growing corn. Currant bushes
they stripped Of leaves and then fed upon
the bark Of the shrubs, peeling 1t of clear
to the ground. Apple trees are stripped
bare Of their leaves by these green pests,
which do not stop there, hut peel the
bark from all the branches, from the
tips Of the switches to the trunk
ot the tree, leaving the half.grown
apples dangling on dead bare limbs. To
the nurseryman they are deadly foe,
cutting down and killing every sort oi
young fruit stalksexcept thepeach, which
they let alone.s They did not migrate as
long as anything was lett for them to de-
stroy, but spread out as the fire on the
prairie spreads; The areas Affected BY yI
them thus far have been very small, but
they. are much larger this year than they
were alast al and it the increase contin.

ClRyELlND, O., August 15.-1f Grover
Cleveland can get any consolation out Of
to-day's action Of the Cuyahoga Demot'
racy, he 70 entitled to It. About forty
postoffices were distributed among North.
ern Ohio Democrats yesterday, but they
did not suffice to satisfy the insatiate
greed for spoils. Nobody supposed tha.
an ordinary County Convention would
develop such howl for pap as was heard
to-day in the Armory. Before the Con
yention proceeded to business curses deep

the delegates.
After the preiiminaries had been gone
through with delegate Pete Lynch, Ptest-
dent Of the seamen's Union, jumped upon

tions, protesting against the appointment
OF Marcus A. Hanna as Director of-the
Union Pacific Railroad, and requesting
Senator Payne and Congressman foran to
communicate tho desires OF the Conyen-
ton 10 the President. Lynch and several
Others made speeches in favor OF the reso-
lutions amid great confusion, and Delegate
Cline, one OF Major w. W. Armstrong;
supportersi in the postoftiee race, offered
the following amendment:

SUMMARY.
NOTES,

Buffalo and Detroit have notyet won o
game from Chicago.
The Athletic club will take a tour
through the Southern League cities in
October.
The Philadelphia Sporting Life says:
"Glasscock never played a better short
field than he is new doing. He Is hitting
the ball, too.o "
In Boston they consider Clarkson, Of
the Chicagos, the most conceited pitcher
in the business.
Galyin's acquisition cost Pittsburgh
$500, and yet mp to dats he has lost
more games than he has won.
Cincinnati seems to have made its first
valuable find OF the season in Pechilley.
So far he has shown up In remarkably
fine form, and now that he has faced the
music and gotten over his nervousness he
ought to be more effective than ever.
Bennett and Ewing are undoubtedly
the slugging catchets of the League, while
Milligan and o. Brien excel the American
catchers in this department.
Such Is the intenRe rivalry existing be-
tween the Southern League teams that
Nashville recently offered Chattanooga .
purse OF $500 to knock Atlanta out two
out Of three, but Chattanooga did not
win. Il
Il is said that Snyder, OF the Cincinnatis,
will retire from active work next year, and
devote his time entirely 10 the manage
ment Of the team, in which he Is said TO
own stock. ssi
Gleason, Rowe and Dolan, the three
black listed players whom Lucas failed to
have reinstated, are paid 500 each by him
for doing nothing. Truly Lucas is paying
q great deal OF money this season for
very little fun.
This has been o big year in developing
pitching talent. What with Clarkson,
Daly, Hays, Conner, Pechilley, Wood and
Conway, tbs associations will soon be able
to drop some Of their wornout veterans,
and without hurting the associations
either.
This is sutton's tenth year In the league,
Upto August 4 he had participated in 5is
games, has been S,0sS times at the bat,
and has made S06 base hits. His batting
average for the ten years Is 200. Anson
and Paul Hines are the only men in the
country who have made 1000 hits.
June was the .unlucky month for New
York. In that month they won bpt II
games and Lost 5, while. Chicsgo won2l
and lost 2. Prior. TO that-in May-New
York won II and lost 4; Chicago won Y
and lost 8. In July, however, New York
picked up again, winning 1Slgames and
losing 8, against IS victories and Z defeats
for Chicago. ~.

WASHINGTON, August l6.-Afr. Miller,
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue, yes
terday telegraphed to all Collectors who
have been receiving transportation bonds
in which the time specified for delivering
the spirits at the port Of expectation ex-
ceeds thirty days, that they are not to re.
ceiye such bonds after the 10th inst thus
virtually repeating the seven months
clause contained ii the circular Of Janua-
ary s, 1885, extending the bonded period.
The Collectors were further instructed
that they arc not 10 approve transporta-
lion bonds after the expiration OF the
three years mentioned In the Ysrehousing

month allowed under circular 2SS, ot Jan.
nary Is. 1883.

The razor edge Of all this is that Cabell is
