Miss Florence Latting was married
last night at the First Presbyterian
Church to Mr.. Will S. Merlin, Of Plant
City, Fla, in the presence OF a large
and fashionable audience, the Rev. DR..
Eugene Daniel officiating. The bride
was arrayed in white silk, en- train,
with novelty trimming, and presented
a picture OF modest loveiness that
was the theme OF thousand admiring
comments. The floral decorations
surpassed in graceiulness of design
and artistic execution anything ever
seen here. The altar was occupied by
a floral chapel, constructed Of varie-
gated plants and flowers, so exquisite
ly designed that tie dome looked like
a sky Of green studded with stars Of

MEYER UP FOR MURDER
BEFORE JUDGE DUBOSF, OF THE
CRIMINAL COURT.
Testimony Adduced on the First Day
A Very Strong Array OF Legal
Talent Enlisted.

The trial OF Henry II. Meyer for the
killing of VIM. B. Dunnavant was be-
gun yesterday. Owing to the general
belief that the day would be consumed
in securing jury, there was no i'm
menee demand for seats in the court
room, aud 10 the casual observer there
WAS no Outward indication that trial
OF absorbing interest was going on. A
strong array of counsel Is engaged on
both sides. The State is rep esented
by Attorney General Peters, Gen.
Dupuy, Gen. Luke Wright and I. A.
Ryan, while the defendants interests
are committed to the care of Col.
George CAN'T, Gen. G. P. NJ. Turner
and Ex-Judge A, II. Douglass.
The prisoner is young and rather
handsome man, something over 80
years OF age, of dark complexion, curly
black hair, dark eyes and black mus
tache. He has well shaped head,
and his general sppearar CO does rot
indicate q ferocious or brutal nature.
If anything, there is an expression OF
weakness about his mouth, and the
impression conveyed by closs study
of his face suggests etfeminacy rather
than verility. His manner yesterday
during the hearing was calm and COM
posed, aud while he listened intently
to the testimony he evinced no unus.
ual emotion. Contrary TO general ex-
pectation, there Was little difficulty in
securing a jury. The State exhausted
but five of its challenges and the de-
tense eight. The following are the
names Of the jurymen selected: S. d.
Jones, ]. O. Dalton, Nathan Stewart,
T. w. Allen. o. D. Perry, j. M. Davis,
Thomas Daily, James W. Penn, r. W.
Hughey, ]. d. Tlghman, A. NJ. Flynn
and:M. T. Afford.
All OF the above named are white

average Of jurymen in intelligence
and moral character. They are proba.

of Memphis, as only one of the twelve
names appears in the City Directory,
that of R. w. Hughey, grocer on
Union avenue.
After the jury was impaueled the
opposing counsel briefly stated to the
jury their theories of the case. Ator-
ney General Peters saidthat the S ate
expected to show that the killing of
Dunpavant was the outcome of con-
spiracy between Meyer and his wife
to blackm all him, and hence was MUIR
der in the first degree. Gen. G. P. M.
Turner announced that the defense
would prove that Meyer had slain the
seducer Of his wife, in fdgrdfte delicto.
An adjournment was had until 2
o'clock pm, when the hearing Of te.s

$40, 600 FOR FLOWERS AND DISHES.

Des Moines Register: Grover CleTe-
land vetoed III pension bills passed by con
gress to give relief to needy union soldiers,
and TO keep them and their families from
the poor house. These III pensions
amounted in the aggregate to $14, 600. Sir.
Cleveland vetoed them, he said, in the in
terest OF economy. and to keep the public
treasury from being despoiled and bank
rupted, and Harper's Weekly, ''the Jour
nal of Civilization" has made several pic
lures of him as great gladiator in bear
skins, standing over the public treasury and
keeping the sick and helpless union soldiers
from breaking into it and stealing enough
to keep them alive But Mr.. CleVe-
land approved an appropriation Of
500 900 to keep flowers blooming for him
self and his wife in the white house CON
scrvatory, and he took SIC, 600 of the pub
lie money voted for white house expenses,
and bought a set Of dishes for himself and
his family to eat on. We suggest that Mr.
Mast shall add to his gladitorial pictures
of President Cleveland in his great act Of
standing guard over the public money to
save any Of it from being given to keep
union soldiers out of the almshouses
The $4,000 set of dishes should
be placed in all their beauty at one
side of the gladiator of economy, and the
private green house of the white house
with $50, 900 in public money being ex
pended On it in single year, should be
placed on the other side in all its lowell
ness and splendor. With the gladiator
standing between these two expenditures of

WEB WILDER IN THE EAST.

From the Lawrence Journal.
Wilder's ANNALS" are giving its author
and the state fame In the east. The work
is the most valuable that has ever been pro.
duced in Kansas 1t ought to give its dis
tinguished and painstaking author ducats
as well as fame There is, we trust, better
fortunes still in store for Web Wilder, the
man who has done so much for Kansas and
is so deserving of the good will of every
man who loves Kansas and is loyal to his
state. The Boston literary letter to the
Springfield, Mass, Republican contains a
splendid review of the great Kansas work,
from which we excerpt the following:
''The ANNALS of Tacitus" are the most
impressive chapters Of history-and here
are Wilders Annals of Kansas with ten
fold more thought, discernment, and phi
losophy in them than Prof Spring could
infuse into that dismal failure of

of the quasi historians work was
done for him in advance by Mr.. Wilder,
who has known Kansas for five and twenty
years, and in 1875 had thrown together
with great knowledge, but in too much
haste, the first edition Of his "Anna,s of
Kansas" Now We have from the press of
Dwight Thatcher at Topeka new addi-
ton with 500 pages more, and extending
from 1541 to the close of 1885; giving the

FOR SHAME.

The EAGLE has it from the best of au
thority that money will be spent by the
Democratic candidates in this city today.
Already certain men have been retained to
stand at the polls in the interest of two
Democratic candidates. One man who got
S75 lit out and won't be here, because of
an affidavit which would have been pub
Gshed this morning if he hadn't made him
self scarce. But we have the names Of
others, two for $50 each, and promise Of
more, and three for $25 each, who have
agreed to throw away their principles
they never had any-and work for two
Democratic nominees today. Shame,
shamel Shame on the buyer and shame on
the seller. Such work strikes az the iber-
ties of the people, strikes at the very foun-
dation of all that we hold dear, or hold as
politically above that Of other nations and
peoples. Again we say, shame.

members of congress; New Jersey, two;
Virginia, one; West Virginia, one; North

Democratic ma jority in the present housC
of representatives is forty-three. Deduct
ing twenty-one from the Democratic column
