Royal Marriage.

The bridegroom in the royal marriage
that took place at Lisbon, Portugal, on yes
terday, May 25th, is Prince Carlos, Duke
of Bragauza, heir to the crown of Portu-
gal. He becomes the husband of the Prin-
cess AmeIie, daughter of the Count de
Paris, who unites in himself the combined
pretensions of both branches of the Bour-
bon stock to the French crown.
The bridegroom was born September
%, 1868, the son of Louis l., King OF
Portugal, and his wife, Queen Pia, young
est daughter Of King Vittorio Emanuele
of Italy. Accordingly the present King of
Italy is bis uncle. The BRIDES life has
been quiet and uueventful. She was new
er heard Of by the general public until this
marriage was arranged. Her beauty is
extraordin Try; she is slender and graceful,
with delic.se features, lovely brown eyes,
and charming little mouth.
Since the downfall of the Empire Amelie's
home has been chiefly in France, from
which her family was banished during the
reign of n ,poleon III. Previously she had
lived in England. Her father owns man.
Princess's honor was held few days ago,
and which was great event in 'tsociety."
THE PosrHUMoUs PRINCE.-The birth of
posthumus prince in Spain has caused
great rel icing to the existing government,
and cor. eS2onding depression to the fol-
lowers Of Don Carlos, the pretender to the
throne. IL the infant had been of the
same sex as the other children of the late
King Alfonso, it is not at all unlikely, from
the unstable character of Spanish politics,
that some family compact would have been
entered by upon which the long standing an
tagonism between the two royal houses of
Spain, witch has been the source of more
or less distraction and violence in that
country slice 1888, would have disappear
ed. The many adherents of Don Carlos
had hoped that with only princess to re-
present tho reigning family, marriage
might be arranged between her and the
son Of the present pretender, which would
be satisfactory to the entire people of
Spain. Bat the event just recorded abol-
ishes these expectations. The present
pretender vas born in 1913. He has re-
peatedly shown his determination to up
hold the claims of his family to the throne,
and the bir.h of prince, at the palace in
Madrid, is likely to spur him on to active
Instruction.

WORK, THE DEMOCRATIC WATCHwoRD.-
What the State says in the following is as
applicable to the Democrats of Staunton as
of Richmond
''Let every mechanic who belongs to the
Democratic party, no matter whether he
voted at the primary or not; let every mer-
chant, no matter whether he voted at the
primary or not, be prompt at the polls next
Thursday and vote the full, straight tick
ct. Let all our Democratic citizens work
from now until election day as they did
prior to the State election in 1883 and in
the presidential campaign of 1884 and in
the gubernatorial election of 1885
"Work" must be the Democratic watch
word. The enemy is at work, and let no
man be deceived"

FLOODS IN THE SOUTH.-O Friday the most
terrible rain storm ever known there visit
ed Columbia. s. c., and the upper portion
of the State. Many of the railroads in the
State are impossible, and will remain so for
week. The Congaree river, upon which
the city is situated, is higher than ever
known before. The city water works have
been swept away, and water famine is
imminent. The Columbia canal, which the
state has been building for five years, and
which has cost up in the millions, is almost
complete wreck. One hundred and forty
convicts leased out on plantation near
the city, are in very dangerous position.
The plantation has become an island, and
the water is rising upon them. The crops
of cotton are destroyed.
One cattle raiser few miles above Co
lumbia is reported to have lost ten thousand
dollars worth of cattle. Horses, sheep and
hogs are floating down the river. Many
manufactures in the city has been obliged
to suspend operations. The river is still
rising at the rate of an inch an hour. The
railroad bridges are in great danger.

NTON SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER
Murdered His Aunt.

POINT PLEASANT, W. VA, May 3D.
News of family tragedy has just been re-
ceived from Apple Grove, a small town ~
miles below this point. Mrs. JAS. A. Cue
rim and her sister, Mrs. Linn Thomas, are
widows, each being left with large num-
Der of children. They reside near each 9th
er. The children quarreled over the own
ership of a step-ladder, when Mrs. Thomas
appeared and carried the ladder home. Her
nephew, Jimmie Guerin, aged thirteen, fol-
lowed her and struck her with large stone,
crushing the back of her head, the woman
dying soon after. The dead woman's
daughter, aged fifteen, secured shotgun
and firing upon her cousin, the boy murder
err of her mother, riddled him with shot, he
also dying in few moments. The girl was
arrested. There is much excitement in the
village over the terrible affair.

CINCINNATI.-CINCINN May 22.-Govs.
Wilson of West Virginia, Lee of Virginia,
and Foraker OF Ohio, who are here as guests
of the Festival Association, were introduce
ed to the members of the Chamber of Com
merce this afternoon by President Stevens.
Governor Wilson was grateful for the OPP
portunity he had of seeing something of the
enterprise and public spirit of Cincinnati.
Governor Lee, who was received with
shouts of applause, made more elaborate
speech, in the course of which he referred to
the late war and Its events, which, he said,
should be consigned to forgetfulness, or if
remembered at all, should be though of and
talked of as evidences of American valOr
and fidelity. No men, he said. could be
brought to face such storms of shot and
shell as we're poured upon the southern
soldier unless they thought that their cause
was just He was happy to say that Vir-
ginia's aim was to take her place in the
coronet of the American Union and by her
helpfulness in advancing the interests of
our common country to become bright
and flashing jewel. His remarks were
warmly applauded
Governor Foraker followed, saying he
was delighted to see the earnestness of
the greeting given to Governor Lee, who
now for the first time visited Ohio. 1t
would show him that though Ohio's sons
had fought Virginians, it was not through
hate, but rather Ohio loved Virginia so
well that she would not allow her to sepa
rate from the Union. The war had settled
their differences for all time, and now the
common desire of patriots everywhere was
to build up the whole country. Loud
applause followed.
The Governors then held reception and
were met by many of the prominent men,
bers of the Chamber of Commerce.

frontier engagements ofyesterday they cap
tured two positions from the Turks, 10000
cartridges, and three prisoners. The COM

and he has given assurances that Turkey S
intentions are pacific. There is now an en-
tire cessation of firing everywhere along the
the frontier. Later advices have been re-
ceived stating that another ii sht has taken
place between the Turkish and Greek troops.
A large number of Turkish soldiers attack

Turnavo and che sea. 1t is Tot known
which side was victorious, as no details have

A CHILD EATEN BY HoGs.-GREENsBo-
RIO, N. c., May 20.-Intelligence of the
horrible fate of a six-year-old girl reached
here from Thomasville this morning. She
was feeding drove of hogs with bread,
and, to reach them better, had gotten in
the cornerof fence. The hogs were very
hungry, and one of them accidentally bit
her hand as he grabbed for the bread. The
sight and smell of blood seemed to excite
the hogs, especially as the child had no
more bread. They grabbed at the bleed
ing hand, and the child, in her terrified at
tempt to get away from them, stumbled
and fell to the ground, whereupon the
hogs fell upon her and tore her to pieces,
tearing limb from limb, and fighting with
each other for the reeking fragments. The
horrible occurrence was witnessed by an
old paralyzed lady, who was unable to rem
der aid. 1t is feared the shock will kill
the chjlds mother

LIGHTNING IN WAsHINeTON.-A Wash
Sun under date of the 23d inst, says:
One of the severest thunder-storms that
has ever taken place in this neighborhood
occurred here last night about midnight.
The lightning struck the fourth precinct
station at the lower northeast front window,
broke off the top of the window, fractured
the wall wherever a telephone wire was
attached, and damaged the telephone. The
lightning struck also the hay barrsck of r.
Weaver on the Conduit road, and destroyed
$3.50 worth of hay. The flag on the
O-street market was also broken a thunder
bolt, and houses on Fl. st., between Third
and Four-and-a streets, and also some
near Fifth street and Rhode Island avenue,
were struck, but no very serious injury was
done'

Martin Irons in Disgrace.

MANY KNIGHTS OF LABOR IN FAVOR OF
KICKING HIM OUT OF THE ORDER.-Se-
dalia, Mo-, May 21.-Martin Irons, it seems,
is to be made the scapegoat for the mistakes
made by himself and all the other Knights
during the recent strike. The feeling
against him is very bitter all along the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad. A self-appointed
committee visited his house here last
night, as they averred, for the purpose of
ordering him to leave this neck of the
woods. They found he had gone. To-day
they talked in very uncomplimentary terms
about him, and many hard things we're
said.
An effort is being made to have it appear
that he is in hiding, but there does not
seem to be good grounds for this rumor.-
The probabilities are that he has simply
gone to Cleveland to be on hand early for
the beginning of the Knights of Labor
Convention which meets there next week.
However, whether he deserves it Or not, he is
certainly just now the most cordially hated
man by the Knights of Labor OF any man
living, and it is quite evident he will have
to go.
The organ of the District Assembly,
printed at Sedalia, calls on him to quit the
order, and asks the order to kick him out if
he does not voluntarily get OUT. He is not,
however, without following, and it is
thought when the attempt is made at
Cleveland to saddle the strike and its col
lapse on him there will be vigorous kick,
and that he will die hard.

March as a Battle Month.

March was . stormy month during war
days, in a military sense. as the battle record
of the Rebellion shows.
In the story of March, 1862, the Monitor
and Merrimac encounter had the chief place,
though affairs at Newbern, Winchester and
Pea Ridge. Ark, with smaller engagements,
also attest the activity Of the forces. The en-
gagements of March of the following year
we're principally in Kentucky and Tennessee,
and in March, 1864, Louisiana was the main
battle-ground, though everywhere was prepa-
ration for heavy fighting.
But the GROWING March record is that Tor
1865 The series of battles fought by Sher-
man in North Carolina as he forged ahead
steadily toward a union with Grants forces Is
to be credited that month. Kinston. Averys-
boro and Benton are names which Sherman's
men are not likely to forget. On the other
hand, the army of the Potomac remembers
the Fort Steadman fight of March %, fol-
lowed BY the conclusive movements against
Lees army. beginning with Hatcher's Kun
on March 80. few days later came the
falling in of the fabric Of rebellion and the
surrender at Appomattox.
Looking back at those March months from
1862 to 1867 the country sees repeated dis
plays of courage and determination which
often hsd as full a manifestation in slight
skirmishes as in general engagements.
