a High-ronea co1orea wedding.

Charleston(S. C) News The biggest col
ored wedding ever witnessed in Louisiana
was that celebrated at Soulonque plan
tation in Iberyille Parish. Few white we'd
dings compare whit. There was special
train from this city for the invited guests, a
string band imported especially for the
occasion and refreshments by the first res.
taurateur in New Orleans. By day tho
mansion OF the brides father was a mass
OF natural flowers; by night the
grounds were lighted with lanterns
and Japanese fire. All the cream OF
colored ); society graced the occasio n
and not a few white persons OF standing
were among the guests. As for the dresses,
few ball rooms have seen anything finer or
tastier. The contracting parties were
Miss Alndie Allan, daughter Of q member
OF the Louisiana legislature, and Prof.
Palmerston Landry, OF Mansfield col

father, originally a slave. and a
coachman, bore in those days the
name Of Soulouque. He has not altogeth-
er forgotten that time, for his sugar plan
tation, one OF the abandonment and pretti-
est in Louisiana, still recalls the old slave
days in its name-Soulouque-w he
is to-day the Hon. Theophile Allan.

Mr.. Lowell's advice to Americans
while he was Minister to England has
been repeated by the United States
Minister at the ague, concerningAmer-
lean fortunes in Holland. There are no
remaining Dutch estates that now can
possibly be claimed by descendants OF
Dutch ancestry in this country, as
recent legislation makes all claims
5untenable that were not presented
and proved before the Commission Of
Liquidation in1857. Mr.. Lowell sent
the information officially that there
were no sums Of money lying unclaim-
ed in the Bank Of Engl and no old
estates in England subject to claims
in this country at pres emit.

ward as though propelled by. the force OF o
bursting magazine OF giant powder. Bags
OF sand were then hastily constructed and
cast into the well, but these, too, were
hurled into the air by the tremendous
force OF the spouting water. 40
The history OF the overflow ia as follows:
On Monday, Aug. 20, William Weir y Sons
began boring an artesian we'll at the inter
section OF Beech and Washington streets In
Belle Plaine. This is On the flat about
four blocks south OF the barley house.
The contract called for a well with three.
inch casing and q flow was guaranteed.
They bored two.inch hole and theorized
that the flow ofwater throughitw ould work
it outso they could sink a three.inch casing.
Thursday they struck water at depth OF
1856 feet. At this time they had about sixty
feet OF three.inch casing down, and the
water rose with strong force twelve feet
above the surface in u solid three-inch
stream plainly showing the strongest flow
yet struck. Friday morning the flow was
under. control, but during The forenoon in
the attempt to force u three.inch tube into
two:inch-hole, it broke loose and wore
away sufficient space outside the tubing to
allow the water to boil out around the
tubing ut the surface. At shutdown
Friday a stream OF water. o foot
in diameter was pouring out. At
$50 the city authorities were appeal
ed to to take control and seek relief from
the impending danger. Already many lots
and houses were. more or less flooded. At
8 p. IN. q gang OF men were set at work,
the mayor and council personally superin,
tending them until nearly morning. All ex-
pedients that could be put in practice
were tried, but the water could not be con.
trolled. Saturday morning Eugene Palmer
proposed that i fifteen inch tube could be
driven down to the blue clay, believed to
be about fifty feet. and by thus combining
the force to a common center the outside
flow could DO stopped and then the one in
the tubing controlled. 1t is impossible at
this time to estimate the damage. Thesouth
part OF the town is moro or less flooded and
cellars filled with water. To-day at least
two thousand people visited the place, and
no relief has yet been found. The hole has
Increased to the size Of q barrel, and the
water is bubbling up some four feet above
the surface, throwing out immense guam
titles OF sand. AT least five hundred car
loads have been emptied by the flow, and
o gang OF men are kept constantly ut work,
day and night, shoyeling it away. Achan-
mel has been dug for nm outlet to the Iowa
river, and this channel has double the vol
tune OF the river at TINT point. There are
seven other wells at Belle Plaine, but they
have all ceased flowing SINCE the outburst
OF the last one. The citizens have grave
approximations OF the outcome. s ~

Ocean stravs was never before so

ChafTee and Bowen.

Jerome b. Chaffee, by the way, was
one Of the nObleSt characters that graced
the western mining districts in the flush
days when all men were brothers, all
were on the square divide" and to be
known as the ~whitest man in camp
which was Chaffee's reputation-was an
enviable distinction. More than one poor
miner in the olden days owes his subse-
quent success to Chaffee's kindness in
giving his foot q secure resting place on
the ladder of fortune. Among those
who were blessed with his protecting
friendship wa ex-senator Tom Bowen, OF
Colorado.
1t was in the poker and prospecting
period Of Bowen's career, when he was
rich one day and went supperless to bed
the next Tom on that particlar occasion
was experiencing an unusually hard
streak Of luck. He wandered around the
streets Of Denver without any shirt on,
clutching a t~hreadbare, buttonless swal-
lowtail coat with his half frozen hands to
keep the cold wind out, and wondering
where and how he was going to catch on
next, when he was met by Chaffee.
Bowen tried to dodge around a corner-he
had known Chaffee a short time before
when he was iush-but Chaffee darted
after and captured him. After a brief
conversation Chaffee presented him with
500 in cash, told him to strike out for the
mines, and when the money was spent Ia
come back for more. Bowen went as di-
rected. He pottered around awhile on
the Del Norte river, and finally struck ore
in the Little Aimee, which was the
foundation of a large fortune.-COr. st,
