BILL woFFoRD's WEDDING.
A Ceremony EnliYened by the Element
of Danger.
From a Columbia 7sz.l Latter.

From Columbia Teo.) Letter.
An exciting and dramatic incident occur
red here last evening. Sunday morning two
men rode into town. Their remarkable APP
Dearance at once attracted the attention of
every one. They were covered with mud and
carried perfect arsenal of rifles pistols and
knives with them. One was a man over 60,
with long, gray hair and blood in his eye; the
other was a man of 80 years, built like giant
and wearing terrible scowl on his face. They
were father and son, William w Oxford and Sam
Wohord, from the backwoods of MatagOrda
county. The old man said he was looking for
his 'darter Kate" VINO had slit OUT with
her cousin Bill WOfford Yesterday the father
and son located the runaway couple, who
were occupying small fisherman's tent half
mile outside the town, When old WohOrd
found out the location of his erring 'darter,
a large crowd Of curious men and boys fol-
lowed the terrlble-lo0king pair to the vicinity
OF the tent, as the old man kept continually
examining hls gun and saying: "Sam. IN
Ro'en to xiii him suahn' As they neared the
tent the crowd fell back, while the old man
and his giant son approached with
rifles IN hand. Suddenly the lap of the tent
was violently thrown open from the inside,
and there stood Bill and Kate, each holding
terrible Winchester rifle one covering the
old man. the other the son. Old grayhead
and Sam & AIRED like two wild beasts on the
brave lovers, and Bill called out: "Do you
s'Dose | m go'n 60 give her up after we done
tramped IL together all the way from the
Colorado to the Brazos9 Not much; she's
mines, and you may stan there now and see
us married" The old man and sam, under
cover OF the suggestive Winchesters, slowly
moved back, all the lime facing the boy Bill
and his Kate, who had the drop on them.
Meantime a courier had gone to town for a
license and a preacher, and after nearly two
hours, during which time Bill and Kate
never took their eyes of the old man and
Sam. and threatened to kin either should he
raise hand, the preacher and the license ar
rived.
During the ceremony the bridegroom kept
his rife at hai-cock pointing towards his
father in-law. The preacher was go afraid
they would open hostilities while he was there
that he could scarcely finish the ceremony.
After the marriage the old man delivered a
terrible curse ON both, and said he would
spare their lives now provided they never set
foot in Matagorda county.
If you do" said he, as he shook his long,
dirty, yellow locks and violently struck his
rifle with one hand; Elf you do, you're both
on You dead soon as you cross the line. for
when Pm gone Sam he's there. You've got
the whole world before you 'cept Matagorda
county. Now CO."
With this philippe the old man and son de-
parted forlorn, while Bill pulled down the
flap of the TEN.

A Wnshineton Mononolx.

The Washington Gas Light Company
would be willing, doubtless, to contribute
a very considerable sum of money to de-
feat Senator Van Wyck's reelection to
the Senate. He is thorn in the side of
that corporation, and gives 1t a great deal
of annoyance. In his littl speech in the
Senate a day or two ago he showed that
it started with a capital Of $500, 900, which
has been increased to $2000,00O, every
cent of the increase being surplus earn
ings after the payment Of enormous
dividends. 1t seems that the dividends
since 1869 have ranged from 30 TO go per
cent. year on the original capital.
Every once in awhile an effort IS made
in Congress to force this gas light COM
pany to lower its rates, but without sue
cess. According to Mr.. VanWyck the
com pany pays a skillful lobbyist 81, 200 a
year to prevent hostile legislation.
OF course it would be unjust
to insinuate that improper Influences are
employed to enable it to enjoy enormous
dividends, especially when IL is notorious
that it furnishes a poor quality OF gas,
but il is not too much to say that II seems
strange that Congress is so averse to in
quiring into its affairs for the purpose Of
discovering whether it is an oppressive
monopoly or not.
There IA another thing that Mr.. Van
Wyck touched upon during his talk
about the gas light monopoly. 1t is that
none of the National banks OF Washing
ton pays any taxes, and that the rich men
there somehow or other escape the bur-
den OF taxation. His statement was that
the small property-holders pay about all
the taxes that are paid by citizens. This
is condition Of affairs which suits the
monopoles and the rich men, but it is
calculated to Increase the desire OF those
who do pay taxes for local government
in which they will have a voice.

Willis Educational Bill.

Representative Willis gained his point
in the matter of the educational bill. He
had it sent to a friendly rather than a
hostile committee. The bill is really the
Blair bill, which passed the Senate lately.
If Mr.. Willis could get it through the
House it would pass the Senate without
delay or trouble. But can he get it
through the House2 1t is not certain
that he can depend upon all of those to
vote for it who helped him to send it to
a friendly committee.
1t is asserted that some OF the votes
were exhibitions Of friendship for Mr.
Willis, and did not indicate approval OF
the bill It's noticeable that very few OF
the leaders Of either party in the House
support it, but that does not prove that it
is not a popular measure with the people.
If it becomes law il will benefit a
greater number and do the country in
fnitely more good than the hundreds OF
millions of dollars which are distributed
over the countryin the shape OF pensions.
The pension appropriations encourage
pauperism. Educational appropriations
would tend to eliminate it.

The POTOMAC WHAT'S.

After q large amount OF money has
been spent by the government to reclaim
the flats in the Potomac river in front of
Washington, the River and Harbor Com.
mittee refuses TO make an appropriation
TO continue the work because the title
to the reclaimed land is in dispute. The
fats, when reclaimed, will comprise be
tween 600 and 700 acres, and will be very
valuable. The claimants are heirs of a
man named Kidwell, who in the early
part of the century obtained title to an
island in the Potomac about 81 acres in
extent. The heirs say that by aceretions
to this island the channel between It and
the mainland filed up and formed the
flats. This seems to be the foundation OF
their claim.
The claim is not new one. Congress
knew all about it before an appropriation
was made to reclaim the fats. Why was
not the question Of title settled before the
work Of reclamation was begun? There
are good many other questions which
might be asked respecting the acts Of
Congress which 1t would be difficult to
answer.
