A NOVEL WEDDING.
A Couple Married in the Model Show Window
Before Thousands of J%Ostling Spectators.

The announcement that a wedding would
come off in one of the large show windows Of the
Model Clothing Store. the ceremony to take
place at 7:30 o'clock last evening, attracted an
immense throng of people. AS early as 7 o'clock
the sidewalk in front Of the store was densely
packed with men and women, boys and girls,
and at 7:30 the street-cars could, with difficulty.
be taken through the crowd. The expected
bride and groom were not on hand at 8 o'clock
and by that time fully 5000 people were surging
to and fro, e~lbowing each other to get a sight of
the window. The three policemen chosen for
that duty, we're unable to keep back the crowd,
and there was great danger that some of the
women and children upon the sidewalk would be
thrown down and trampled upon. Seven
more police officers arrived and with great
difficulty kept a thin space clear.
There was a crowd of nearly a thousand at the
back door of the establishment, who expected
the bride and groom would be admitted at that
entrance. They were not disappointed, as at
twenty minutes after s the bridal couple arrived.
A half dozen minutes were given to putting the
finishing touches to the bride after she had
taken off her wrap. At $50 o'clock the bride
and groom. accompanied by Rev. r. V. Hunter.
of the Seventh Presbyterian Church, entered
the show window. They were rot greeted with
the joyful strains of Mendelssohn's wedding
March" but there was a shout from the street
that IN noisy volume would have submerged all
the musical wedding compositions ever given to
the world. They were a goodlooking.
well-dressed pair of young people. The
groom, twenty-four years old. is a baker of
this city named Otto Meyer; the bride two or
three years younger. perhaps, and handsomely
arrayed in white silk, was Eva A. johnson. 1t
required only two minutes, by a stop.watch, fcr
Mr.. Hunter to perform the CEREMONY and As the
bridal party disappeared from the window the
crowd again gave a deafening cheer and scat
tered, though several hundred waited on the
side street for a sight of the couple as they came
out of the store. The compensation to the
young folks for going through the ordeal before
the crowd was a ffty.dollar set of bedroom
furniture. They will remove to Mooresville
for permanent residence.

An Industrial Home for Girls.

The Woman's Relief Society met yesterday
afternoon, at No. rs North Pennsylvania street,
for the purpose of considering the matter of
establishing an industrial home for girls, The
meeting was quite largely attended. Mrs. j. A.
Buchanan presided. The new home project was
thoroughly discussed, and all present were
heartily in favor of its establishment. The city
has now a comfortable homo for boys, but here.
tofore there has been no effort to provide for the
girls, who are in need of suitable shelter almost
as badly as the boys. Several locations for the
home were suggested, and an executive commit
tee was appointed to take charge of the enter
prise, select a house for the home. and attend to
all the matters connected with it's establishment.
The committee is composed of Mesdames John
Reaume. L. L. Jackson, j.. A. Buchanan. DR.. B.
Atkinson, and Miss Libbie Huffer. Another
meeting will be held next Wednesday afternoon,
at the same time and place, to hear the report of
the committee.

An Architects Application for a Mandamus.
Yesterday afternoon Henry Stacey, engineer
and architect, applied to Judge Howe for a writ
of mandate against the trustees of the Insane
Asylum. He wants them to pay him 81 800,
which he says is due for services rendered. The
new boiler-house and w~ater-works built at the
asylum were from plans furnished by him.
which the board adopted after a competition in
which several other plans were submitted. He
alleges that DR.. Harrison, president of the
board, was empowered to make a contract with
to supervise the work. This duty he per-
formed until $32, 600 had been expended, bring
ing the work near completion. He drew in pay
ment, from time to time, certain sums, amount
ing in all to 81, 300, but the remainder, 81, 800,

A GASOLINE EXPLOSION.
A Fruit Stand Burned, a Man Badly Scorched,
and a Woman Dangerously Frightened.

While Charles Johnson, an Italian, who runs a
fruit stand at No. 60 North Illinois street, was
lighting his gasoline stove at 5 o'clock last even
ing. it exploded and set fire to the building. In
a few minutes the inside of the place was in a
blaze, but the fire department was prompt in
answering the alarm, and the flames were ex-
tinguished before they had damaged the build.
ing to any great extent. The fire made its way
into Stephen Gray's tailor shop, and burned a
few goods, and was just entering B. S. Stokey's
furniture store when the fremen arrived. Mr..
Johnson's loss is about $500, and he has no insur-
ance. His hand was badly burned by the explo-
sion of the stove, and he was also slightly burned
about the face in attempting to save his goods.
Several years ago johnson had a similar expert
ence with a gasoline stove. and on that occasion
a son was burned to death. Anna Hide and
Katie Marshall occupied rooms over Johnson's
place of business. Miss HIDE was in bed sick,
and, when she saw the blaze, attempted to Jump
out of the window, and was only prevented by
the firemen. She tainted, and was for some time
in o very critical condition.

Little Probability of a Strike Among the
Employees Of the Establishment.

The indications now are that the differences
between Kingan & Co. and their employees will
be adjusted and a strike avoided. Last May the
firm, following the precedent made by nearly all
the pork packing establishments in the United
States, adopted the nine-hour system. The
change was requested. but not demanded, by
the employees at the time. Some time ago the
pork packer of st. Louis returned to the ten
hour system, and have been followed by all the
larger establishments of the country. Kingan&
Co. recently decided to also return to the old sys-
tenn. and on Tuesday afternoon the employees
were notified of the fact. They were, of course,
displeased, and a meeting to consider the latter
was held in the evening, and many expressed
great dissatisfaction.
A Journal reporter visited the establishment
yesterday, and in conversation with many of the
employees learned that there is no disposition to
go on a strike. They are all, however, opposed
to the change, and hope the managers will con-
slider their wishes in the matter. They have
not, as yet, taken any definite action in regard
to the order, but simply talked it over in their
meeting Tuesday evening. They will determine
this week what action they will take in case the
firm insists on the ten-hour system.
Mr.. j. M. Shaw, the manager of the firm, said
there was no difference existing between the
firm and their employees, and he anticipated no
trouble. The firm had been compelled to re,
turn to the ten -hour system because all competi-
tors had done 80. The order to begin ten hours
work has not yet been issued, but the firm sim
ply announced to the employees their intention
to make the change and gave them until Satur-
day evening to consider the matter. "We find,"
he said, I'VE are compelled to return to the old
system, and we can do nothing else. If we are
compelled to continue under the nine hour sys-
tenn we can make no calculations in regard to
this winters business, for we cannot compete
with the other establishments of the country"

A Difference Between Business and Politics.
In the Crimina Court there has been pending
for some time an Indictment against Sam Din
min, the Democratic politician and former sa-
loon-keeper, for allowing minors to play pool.
The case was set for trial while Judge Duncan
temporarily sat en- the bench, but Dinnin did not
want to be tried by that gentleman. "Let's git
the case continued" he said, until Judge Nor
ton gifts back" His attorneys effected this ar
rangement, and yesterday the trial was had.
One of the boys, named Keen, who does not
look to be more than sixteen years of age, said
he and George Lyndon played pool in Dinnin's
saloon. The accused did not ask his age, but
Lyndon told him that he himself was seventeen
years old. Lyndon" said Dinnin, when on the
witness stand, ''told me he was twenty one. 1

Washington Letter.

While Congress has done nothing
startling since it reassembled, almost
everything that has occurred on Cap
itol Hill during the week has been
fraught with interest and Importance,
The Senate has discussed and voted
against the Mormans, and incident
ally against Woman Suffrage. Steps
were taken towards over-hauling the
street railways of Washington as
we'll as the L. S. Pension Office, and
the Congressional Record was en-
bellished with considerable eloquence
on Silver coinage. Senator Beck eX-
onerated himself from his recent al
legged antagonism to the Ppresident.
About one thousand new bills were
introduced in the House and the
Speaker completed the organization
of that body by formally announcing
where he had assigned his 32j
men on his fOrty-eight Committees.
There is no more than the usual
amount of dissatisfaction among mem
bers on account of their positions on
Committees. Indeed / think there
was less complaint than was expect
ed, and the general verdict Of those
who have no personal interests in the
great questions with which these
committees are to deal, is that Speak
er Carlisle has arranged them with
wisdom and fairness.
There are so many new members
in the present House, that their as
signments had to be made somewhat
blindly, as their special abilities had
not been tested. But the. Speaker
profited by his experience in the For
ty-Eighth Congress in placing the
old members with Il view to their
qualifications. The more prominent

committees which have the most inn
portant work to do are strong.
With each Congress the task of Or
ganizing the House is becoming
more delicate and burdensome one.
The question has been raised wheth-
er the labor should any longer be
thrown upon one man.
Both branches of Congress are now
ready for real work, any amount of
which is waiting for them. 1t is
thought the session will continue I'M
til August. About three thousand
bills have been presented in the House
alone. Among those that have been
introduced in the Senate is one de-
manding longer sessions of Congress,
so that the country can have more
work for the same money. The ses-
sions ought to be continuous, with
only such short receSses as other bust
ness men take from their labors. The
pay of Congressman goes on whether
they are in session or not. While it
is a very agreeable arrangement to
them for Congress to sit only ten or
eleven months out of the twenty-four,
public business suffers from neglect.
The list of bills with which Con-
gress is flooded furnishes undeniable
proof of American inventive genius.
No possible subject of legislation has
been sighted, among them are many
old-timers that come up and die out
with every new Congress. One bill
asks that for theremainder of her life,
the widow Of Gen. Grant may cor
respond with her friends and that
her friends may correspond with her
without paying postage. The most
popular measure is one for the estab-
lishment of Agricultural Experiment
Stations. Nearly all the members
from rural districts have introduced
in in one form or another. About a
dozen Civil Service bills have been
presented and new bill asks for the
establishment of National Universe
ty here. 1t provides instruction in
the higher branches of all depart
ments of knowledge, with facilities
for research and investigation. Space
forbids me to give the full terms of
the bill, but / will mention that the
government of the institution is to be
vested in a board of Regents consist
ing of one member from each State of
the Union, to be appointed by the
Governor. Each state and territory
shall be entitled to scholarships in
the ratio of one for each Representa-
tive or Delegate and two for each
Senator. These scholarships shall Sc
cure free instruction for five years.
