Last Saturday afternoon among those
working on top Of the draw of the o. r.
railroad bridge was sylvester. Waugh, a
young man about twenty -four years Of age.
Timbers were being lifted from scow be-
low BY the use of the steam engine. One
was even with the top when a heavy wind
swung 1t against Mr. Waugh, knocking him
off the bridge. lie fell to the rocks below.
a distance Of about thirty feet, hitting q
beam on his way down. and striking on his
shoulders and back. Ills coilaE bone was
broken, and at the time II was feared he was
killed. lie was taken 10 the Russ Heuse
and given good treatment and will come
out Of the accident with less serious result
than at first anticipated. The number OF
accidents at the bridge has been much less
than generally in such work, which may
probably be accounted for by the fact that a
ste ady, reliable class Of men have been en-
pioyed. This one would not have happen
cd but for the heavy winds Of the day.

The first American girl to be married In
the White House to President OF the United
States was made Mrs. GROVER CLEVELAND
last evening, and her happy husband
whisked her away from the capital for q brief
honeymoon In the mountains. June roses
perfumed the very winds around the White
House, and Its stately rooms were made into
magnificent gardens in honor OF the bride.
Queen VICTORIA sent congratulations, and
perhaps lot OF other uninvlted monarchs
did (although the State Department won't
tell), and so did q considerable fraction OF
our own sixty millions Of people. All happi-
ness go with bride and groom and abide with
them!
The official report Of the wedding Is at
tributed to tho pom Of Col. DAN LAMONT.
1t breathes poetry when 1t tackles descrip-
tion Of tho ladies' dresses, and in dealing
with the ceremony itself it develops the
graver charms OF shorthand.
Miss FOLSOM was married with ring. as
we learn from correction received from
the Colonel after his original report had ar
rived, and the Presidents voice was firm
when he said i do"
Acknowledgement GARLAND was the only
member OF the Cabinet who did not put on
spike-tail coat and attend the wedding. He
sent gift for the bride.

Oh, Brother Blainei

It pains us to be obliged to call the atten-
ton OF the historian, sage, and retired states
man Of Maine to so gross blunder as that
which he committed at Portland on Tuesday,
at the very beginning OF his able speech on
the Irish question.
Brother BnA1NE's remarks were addressed
to Governor RoBIE, who presided at the
meeting, and Brother BLAINE addressed
Governor RopIE as Your Excellency."
From an Ignorant, half-baked, or snobbsh
individual this form Of invocation might be
expected; in Brother BLAINE's case 1t Is in
cxcusable 1t will not do to say that he was
thinking more about the Irish vote than
about the proprietles Of ceremonious inter-
course. The speech was undoubtedly writ
ton beforehand. He must know better.
II Brother BLAINE had been addressing
the Governor OF Massachusetts, or the Gov
ernor Of New Hampshire 1t would have been
entirely proper for him to apply the title
"Your ExcelTency."
The Governor OF Massachusetts is His
Excellency." Tho Lieutenant Governor OF
Massachusetts Is "His Honor" Tho Gov
ernor OF New Hampshire Is not only " His
Excellency," but he Is also Commander-in-
Chief, Captain General, and Admiral; and II
Brother BLAINE had been speaking at Con-
cord or at Manchester, in the presence Of
Governor MOODY CURR1ER, he might havo
hailed him properly as Your Excellency
the Governor" as "Your Excellcncy tho
Commander-in-C Chief," as "Your Excelency
the Captain General" or even as Your Ex-
cellency the Admiral" We should not have
said one word.
But when you cross the Plscatnqua River,
going East. you leave behind you oil the
Chief Magistrates who may rightly be styled
Your Excellenoy. Brother BLAINE might
just as we'll have addressed Governor RoDIE
as Your Majesty, or as Your Phantasmagorlc
Plusuuampotency.

sections The fret prohibits the acquisition

not duly declared their intention to become citi-

provided that the provisions OF this act shall not
ply to the real estate necessary for the construction Of
railroads.
The report OF the House Committee accom-
panyipg this bill gives q list OF some OF the
alien owners OF lnrge tracts Ms proof OF tho
need OF legislation. Thus Holland company
holds 4.5O0.000 acres In New Mexico an Eng
lish syndicate, 5000. 900 IN Toxas; Sir L. Rsd's
syndicate 2ooo9o0o od n odG Forids another Eng,

So the alien holdings run on. until the commit
tee find on aggregate OF 20 557. 900 acres in the
hands OF twenty-nine allen corporations and
Individuals. with the list not complete.,
In some OF these cases great estates have ap-
parently boen accumulated BY fraud In others.
by taking advantage Of technical deficiencies
In the law. The present disposition Of Con-
gross g seems to pc to prevent future acGuisi
the Statos. like Texas. Florida. Mississippi.
and West Virginia. in which some OF the heavi-
est OF the alien holdings nre found. must regu-
lnte matters for themselves. 1t Is also observable
that tho House bill Is still moro stringent. as to
aliens. than tho Senate bill. al though the latter.
rs having already passed ono branch. may now

Not Much Hope for Prohibition There,

II there is any State in the Union where
the strict enforcement Of a prohibitory law
ought to be possible, II an attempt Is made
in good faith to enforce it. that State is
Rhode Island. Public sentiment thore Is
strongly in favor Of prohibition, and the
geographical conditions are such that about
thrco sharp-eyed constables standing on a
high point Of land, say ut Watchemoket,
Mount Misery, and Tommony Hill, ought to
be able to spy out nearly all tho rum deviltry
that Is going on in Rhode Island
The new constitutional amendment pro-
hbiting the sale Of liquor goes into effect on
the first day Of July. Tho Legislature has
hurriedly passed q law designed to give
effect to the amendment. This law Gxes tho
penalties for selling or manufacturing liquor
$50 fine and ten days Imprisonment for the
first conviction OF selling, up to 5000 fine and
four months Imprisonment for n second con-
viction OF manufucturing-nnd it provides
for new constabulary, with Chief elected
by the Legislature and drawing salary OF
$1,000 year.
DO the Rhode Island Republican bosses in
tend to make any honest endeavor to enforce
tho law and give tho system q fair trial 1t
has already elected as Chief Constable ono
CHARLES r. BRAYToN. Tho Providence Jour
nal, the leading Republican newspaper in
Rhode Island, announces that this is the
CHARLES II. BRAYToN who, as Postmaster at
Providence, was de!aulter in sum exceed
ing $4,000, and who resigned to escape
dismissal, throwing the burden OF his
delalcation upon his hOndsmC TIE Jour-
nal calls for an organization Of honest and
decent Republicans to rebuke tho alliance
between the party bosses and the rumsellers,
and to drive the present leaders out OF
power. 1t calls the election of BRAYToN
"the States disgrace" The Woonsocket
Reporter reports that the liquor dealers OF
that town regard the selection OF BRAYToN
as the best that could possibly be made; ono
Of them intimntes that BRAYToN will make
from $50,0O0 to 100000 during his first year
In the office. The Newport NeWs regards
the whole business as corrupt political deal
1t Ia long time since there has been so much
excitement within the ranks OF the dominant
party in the little State.
The ono thing already evident is that
the Republican managers in Rhode Island
want to get tho benefit OF the strong
pIohipitiou sehliinont, anu oI lno oaino
time keep friends with the liquor SELL
ers. To do this they are ready to null
lily the law and the constitutional amend
ment. The people who arc prohlbltlonists
In principle have hitherto taken the sympa-
thetic professions OF the Republican bosses
in good faith. This is shown by the fact
that at the last election there were only
1900 votes thrown for the Prohibitionlst
candidates. little more than four per cent.
