county man, Augustus Young, Esq, now of
Washington county, and Miss Adele Compton
Ferguson second daughter Of Mr.. VIM. B. Fer
gusson, were quietly married at the home Of
the brides parents at early hour on w ed
nesday morning last by the Rev. Thomas o.
Tongue, of Durham parish. The affair was
vero quiet, only the immediate relatives OF the
happy couple being present. Immediately after
the ceremony the bridal party left for Glymont
where they took the boat for Washington en-
route for their future home in Washington
county. The bride is we'll known and very
popular young lady in this section where her
pretty and attractive face and pleasant and
aGable manner have made her favorite belle
in its society. The couple are quite youthful
to assume the responsibilities Of life, the groom
being just 81 while his happy bride has barely
turned the roseate age of womanhood, sweet II.
This would indicate, however, that they have
before them long vista Of years in which to
enjoy cenjugal bliss, and we couple with our
earnest congratulations the sincere wish that
after years may only bring to them joy and
that prosperity and happiness may
he their portion and that affection may temper
any troubles the future has in store for them

LONDON, August 2l.-[New York Herald
Cable-Special to the BEE. 1.-THE money

uncertainty" says Money, in its review this
afternoon. THE money market has con-
tnued to show a hardening tendency
throughout the week. There has been no

OF the rate still remaining slightly above the
specie point, yet gold has been in demand in

thus against placing too great reliance upon
quotations.: AT this silly season of the
year when the public, and even many
habihlal operators, are absent, the markets
must be in an unusual degree at tine mercy of
casual spectators, or the few dealers left in

A Mexican Decision.

Ell PAso, Tex. August 2l.-By a special
dispatch to the Times it is just learned that
yesterday the second chamber of the supreme
tribunal of Chihuahua took up the case of A.
X. Cutting, and after reviewing the entire
evidence, argument began. This did not last
long. The attorneys pro and con had preVi-
ously came TO an agreement that 1.-THE two
months imprisonment already suffered by
Cutting would be considered complete
purgation of his crime" This makes
1t certain that the sentence which
follows shortly will conform to this
agreement. Among the attorneys the case
was heard with closed doors. The courts
hold both Judge Castcndora and Judge
Iuba exactly right in trying and sentencing
Cutting, but under the circumstances the
court thinks he has now by two months con-
tincment suffered enough and they will or
der his release to take effect by Tuesday or
wednesday next week. The 5000 fine is also
TO be RENTED.
The court expressly reaflirms all that has
been said in favor of the right of Mexico to
try an otfense committed in the United
States. Therefore the status of the case as
an International question is not and will
not, be in the least altered by the release of
Cutting. 1t will come up again directly on
the question of indemnity. Consul Brigham
sSyse Says ne ef dda Eminy see m how tn the stare re-
would change anything but the personal
comfort of Cutting. 1t was not so much the
question of the personal liberty of Cutting as
the broad principle at stake between the
court had expressly affirmed the validity of
the law, which Secretary Bayard has rightly
said that the United States could never per-
init to be enforced. He said it was likely
the point would come up again on the ques-
ton of indemnity, which he thought would
have to be paid.

Knights of Labor and labor unions were re-
presented. Two hundred and seventy-two
delegates were in attendance. Among the
speakers was Mrs. Captain Black, wife of the

trial should be a lesson to them. 1t showed
