BiusIiHg Maiden of the Celestial
Kingdom The Wedding Fes-

Corvallis society was much aeitated on We'd
nesday by the announcement of the approach
ing nuptials Of Mr.. Wah Yo and Miss Clip Lee,
of the Celestial Empire of China. The bride
came from Portland on the noon train and
was carried in closely covered hack TO the
store OF Jim Westfall, where the ceremony was
to take place. The coming of the bride was
greeted by the popping of fire crackers and
bursting Of bombs; for which; the gathered
friends of the couple had obtained special
dispensation from Marshal PygalI Two
bridesmaids assisted in taking the bride, closely
vciled, from the vehicle and conducting her
into the house. The ceremony was announced
to take place in the evening at o'clock
Before 5 O'Clock all the Cinnamon in town had
gathered in adjoining rooms to partake of the
feast prepared in honor of TIE occasion. A
Leader reporter got admitted to the festivities.
Ranged round tables loaded with chicken,
rice and rats, and innumerable viands, were
the happy jewellers. A curious game was in
progress at the tables. Two Cinnamon would
throw out their hands in series of quick ges-
lures, keeping perfect time, calling out in
Chinese something like ''sop yo va he" and
opening and closing the fingers. The game,
evidently, was to make no mistake in opening
the right finger. When one made mistake
the penalty was for him to take drink of
liquor out Of a tiny cup II suppose the hard
ship OF the penalty lay in the small amount Of
liquor such a cup would hold.) One fellow
got ''stuck" SO often as to lead to the SUPPOSE
ton that he enjoyed it. At the appointed
time, the ceremony Of the marriage began in
the presence oil crowd of people. The BRIDE
knelt upon the floor in front of the groom and
a lively dialogue was carried on between them,
two bridesmaids joining in the chatter. Then
the bride threw key TO the happy lord which
he caught on the fly, and they were man and
wife. The lady was hurried TO her apartment
and the groom went 10 the door and famed
himself
This reporter, in the forenoon, by invitation
went through the rooms which are to be the
future home of the newly welded pair. They
were decorated with vases OF artificial flowers,
and images of lovers hanging about in various
stages Of ''goneness. The bed was enclosed
with white curtains and a teester Of linen over
head. The coverlid was finely embelished,
and betokened the wealth and social standing
of the parties.
The festivities ended with the firing of bombs
and sweet serenade by the Corvallis cornet
band. 1t is said the bride cost her husband
three hundred dollars, and she was only fifteen
years old. The frolic must have cost that
much more. Thus ended the greatest social
event of the season. Benton Leader

Robert Bogges, of Deer creek was born in
Harrison county West Virginia, October 18th

and one cousin in Albany Oregon, Edwin
Robinson, these were all the relatives he had
in this country. Robert and Thomas formed
the Bogges Bros. firm, and they lived for
many years together, and when Thomas was
married in 1868, Robert still lived and consti
tuted one of the household until the day of his

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-At o:Is o'clock this
morning, in the mida OF a heavy thunder storm
powder magazine belonging TO the Latin &
Rand Powder company was struck by light
ming. An explosion followed which destroyed
property valued $4,000, besides killing one
person almost instantly, fatally injuring four
and contributing painful injuries TO nearly
twenty-five others.
The combined efforts of a hard fought battle
a cyclone and the whitening influence OF light
ming could not have presented more abject des-
olation and destruction than did the country
for half mile in all directions from the ex-
ploded magazine. The day had opened gloom
ily.
AT o'clock rain began falling furiously
from immense banks of clnuds. Flashes OF
lightning were soon chasing each other across
the whole armament, until the heavens seemed
ablaze. The thunder was deafening.
About 9:I5 fash, which all agree was
much brighter than those preceding, was fol-
lowed by report that shook the greater part
of Cook county. It was sharp report, but
strange to say, by most of those who lived in
the vicinity of the explosion it was hardly dis
tinguishable from the series Of thunder claps
which had been the order Of the morning.
There was tremendous shaking Of the earth,
and articles Of furniture, not stationary, were
thrown about rooms as if they were playthings
in giants hands. Men, women and children
were tossed around at will by the terrible re-
sistlcss force released by the explosion.

AT WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3I.-At o:55 O'Clock
| tonight the desks in the associated press
office in the Corcoran building began to vi.
| brate in peculiar but unmstakable manner
that suggested an earthquake. A few min.
utes later the janitor reported that the upper
stories Of the building were rocking back and
| forth, and the night manager Of the Western
Union telegraph Office made similar an
nouncement, with the additional information
that the clock on the western wall of the room
had stopped. A telephone message from a
gentleman connected with the associated press
Office, who lives on Massachusetts avenue, and
from other points in the city, reported that or
naments on mantel pieces were rattling. The
telegraph operator III Atlanta a few minutes
before this had notified the Washington oper-
ators that the shake was coming, and to look
out for it, but no attention was paid TO the
warning, as it was regarded as joke.
Two shocks occurred The second shock
was Of longer duration and more severe than
the first, and a few seconds later. II was felt
in all parts of the city, and created considera-
bic CONSERVATION. Several meetings in progress
in various parts of the city were broken up by
frightened members thinking the buildings
were falling and rushing from the halls into
the streets.
THE EARTHQUAKE FoREToLp.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3I.-Oficlals Of the
signal service bureau report that four distinct
shocks were felt here. The first began at OIL s
and lasted forty seconds. The second shock
was felt at 1904, and was followed by another
at 1910, and by fourth at 1890. Prof. Ca
pen, weather prophet of this city, predicted in
the Republican several days ago that terrific
earthquake shock would be repeated about this
date. He says that il is possible that there
will be another about o'clock to morrow
morning. When the shock came tonight Ca
pen was in the Republican office writing his
predictions for tomorrow. As soon as the
building began to shake the reporters and
compositors on the Republican and the Post,
which are in the same building, all ran, but

Sevellon Brown, chief clerk in the state de-
partment, was in Albaugh's opera house when
the stampede occurred, and it is probably due
TO his presence Of mind that no lives were lost.

EUROPE'S PERIL.
Gloomy Prediction of the Greatest War o,
the Century.


New YORK, Aug. 3I.-The Times London
correspondent telegraphs: Tonight learn
details ofwhat the world is likely TO learn,
much 10 its interest, within few days The
conclusion my informant draws from is that
the great war of the century is close at hand.
The facts come in part from a gentleman who
dined at Jugerheim with Bamberger's father on
Saturday night, and in part from a diplomat
temporarily here for the purpose of consuita-
ton. AT the Franzenbad interview N. De-
giers urged Prince Bismark earnestly to pre-
vent Prince Alexander's return to Bulgaria.
Bismarck declined TO commit himself, took
the matter ad referendum and shortened the
interview most abruptly, and a great amount
of telegraphing 10 Vienna, London and Con-
stantinoplc ensued Whether N. Degiers got
an answer before his Unexpectedly hasty de.
parture is not known, but the result was that
Prince Alexander was not restrained from
going to Bulgaria.
WAR Considered INEVITABLE
It's believed to be certain that the pressure
Of Germany. Austria and England has gained
Turkey over once more, and that the porte
will authorize Alexander as tribu tary prince
to enter Macedonia, subdue it and incorporate
it as part Of his dominions held under the porte
with view OF the eventual formation OF the
kingdom of Bulgaria. Against this plan is
set the practical certainty that Russia will at.
tempt 10 occupy Bulgaria, when she will be
resisted by Turkey, Roumania, Bulgaria, and
Austria. This will enable Germany to hold
aloof, keep France in awe and satisfy the
kaiser. whose scruples have long delayed :
collision between the Teuton and the Musco
vite. Ny informant lays great stress upor
the strength and sufficien-y Of these scruples
but believes the kaiser, in wrath at th,
piraticai indignity offered Prince Alexander
