A DELIGHTFUL WEDDING.
diss Nora Joyce Is United to Albert Mcpjou,
of the Du quesse Hotel.

nIiss Nora Joyce Is Unlfcd to Albert Mcnjou,
of the Du quesse Hotel.
Quite charming wedding reception
came off yesterday evening at the residence
of Mrs. Magee, 81 Sixth avenue. The bride
and bridegroom were Miss Nora Joyce and
Albert Menjou, of the Hotel Duquesne.
The happy pair were united at st. PauPs
Cathedral by the Rev. j. c. Conway, the
bridesmaid being Miss Annie Joyce and
the groomsman Albert Steinmann.
After the ceremony lunch was served at
Mrs. Magee's residence, which had been
transformed into a dainty bower of myriad
colored flowers and gaily decorated for the
reception of the bridal party. Lunch over,
the newly welded pair left, amid the old
time showers of rice and the finging of
lucky slippers innumerable. They travel
to Cleveland, and thence, by Cincinnati and
Baltimore, 20 New York. After a short
time spent in the metropolis, they will visit
Atlantic City and other seaside resorts be-
fore they return to Pittsburg.
Although the cup of merriment was some
what soured by the departure. there was
still enough sweetness left to make the
draught highly enjoyable. Supper was
served about 8 o'clock, and the popping of
champagne corks mingled with song and
speech until a late hour. In an upper
chamber ''the gay sounds of harp and i'd
die" made sweet music, and tempted more
than one s!aid, elderly gentleman to try his
fortune in the mazes of the dance. j. L.
Lee oficiated as master of ceremonies, and
many were the benedictions called down
upon his head by the grateful guests.

THE FEARS0F TERRY.
George A. jerks Says the Department
Was Warned Last Winter
TO WATCH THE CALIFORNIAN.
His Fellow-Judges Were More Concerned
Than Justice Field.
HE DECLINED TO GIVE HIS OPINION

Ex-Solicitor General George A. jerks is
at the Seventh Avenue Hotel. His connec-
tion with the telephone cases for the Gov
ernment keeps him busy travelling over the
country taking evidence. Mr.. jerks said
last night he had worked hard since he was
boy IA years old, and he had hoped to
spend some time at home after he retired
from the Department of Justice, but as it is
he is up to his eyes In business, and hasn't
even time to read the newspapers.
For this reason he claimed he was
not posted on politics and he hadn't heard
of the attempt to shelve Cleveland in New
York and bring out Whitney as the Presi-
dental candidate of the Democratic party in
1892.
Concerning the tragic ending of Judge
Terry he said:
HE HAD LOOKED FOR IT.
sI expected something of the kind would
happen. We heard of threats last winter
that Terry had made against the life of
Justice Field, and the other judges and the
Attorney General were worried about it.
We knew what Kind of man Judge
Terry was He came to California from
Texas with bad reputation and malignant
disposition. He was known to be a man
who never forgave anyone, and naturally
mis- fellow justices have been apprehensive
of the safety Of Judge Field since he sent
Terry to Jail for contempt of court
"But Justice Field is courageous man.
and at no time did he express any fears. 1
heard him say last winter that he would
20 Inffo in oil hoh had
always done, would visit every place where
he had work to do, and he would not 90 out
of his way to avoid Terry. I think the
Justice would have defended himself too,
if it had been necessary. He is not one of
those who would stand idly by when his life
was in jeopardy"
HE WOULDN'T ANSWER.
"Had the Attorney General a right to
"Well, 1 would rather not answer that
question. The Attorney General is at the
head Of the Department OF Justice, and all
the machinery of the courts is under his
control. He is bound to preserve peace and
order in the courtrooms. 1t would certainly
be most atrocious crime if judge should
be murdered off the bench for any official
act"
Mr.. jerks declined to express an opinion
as to the right of the Attorney General to
detail marshal for such a purpose, on the
ground that he was still in the service Of
the Government, and that he had free ac-
cess to everything in the Department of
Justice.
/" Judge James A. Waywine and P. T.
Dickerson, prominent lawyer of Alameda,
CAL, are stopping at the Duquesne. Mr..
Dickerson knew Judge Terry, and he told a
friend that the State had been rid of bad
man. He was desperate and practical
lawyer. For years Mr.. Dickerson said he
had been a terror to men in public life, and
he was universally feared by everybody.
He seemed to be devoid of conscience, and
was quick to use deadly weapons.

BIG FREIGHT WRECK.
One Train Runs Into Another on a
Grade Near Wooster, o.
AN ENGINE AND Is CARS SMASHED.
The Trainmen We're Warned in Time and
Jumped Before the Crash.
TRAFFIC WAS BLoCKADED FOB HOURS

A very ugly freight wreck befell the Fort
Wayne Railroad yesterday, the scene being
the Wooster curve, near Wooster, o. Since
March IA the road has not had wreck oi
any magnitude, and that of yesterday came
as an unpleasant reminder that railroads
are not infallible. The Wooster grade is a
very long one, averaging Is feet to the mile,
and sharp curve makes it a troublesome
spot on the road. The engine attached to
the second section OF No. ~ freight broke a
link-lifter while going down the curve west
bound. By vigorous braking the train was
stopped just beyond the curve for the pur-
pose of repairing the injury. this being
shortly after noon. A fagInan was sent
back to stop the section behind. Owing to
close running the section could not be
reached in time to prevent collision. The
fagman's warning was
EFFEcTUAL IN SAVING LIFE,
however. The train came bowling down
grade at % miles an hour, and the engineer
whistled down brakes, and with his fireman,
jumped. an example followed by the bal
ance of the crew. Several of the men were
slightly bruised by hasty contact with the
ground. The noise of the approaching train
warned the men on the stalled section and
all hands got out of the way.
1t was great sight when the flying train
struck the stationary cars. The engine flew
into the air and came down exactly across
n fxro he NJ &ha oda ha
tives think thunder storm was brewing.
Twelve cars of the stationary train were
made kindling wood of and three cars of the
running train shared the same fate. One
of the wrecked cars contained tin plate, and
it covered a wide expanse of ground. Most
of the merchandise in the ruined cars was
heavy and of considerable value. The track
was very badly torn up, and the mass of
debris looked formidable. So
No time was lost in getting wrecking
trains to the scene. Trains from Alliance,
Wooster and Orrville were sent as rapidly
as possible, and
QUICK WORK WAS DONE.
The engine laying across the track was
shifted enough to clear both tracks, and the
work of clearing the track was carried on.
Later it was found that the engine had
slipped back three feet and blocked track,
and all the work had 10 be done over. The
tracks were blockaded for seven hours.
No. A, coming East, was held at Wooster
pending the clearing of the tracks, and did
not arrive in this city until 20 o'clock this
morning. No. IL going West was similarly
detained at Alliance. In order to accom-
modate the regular local traffic between Al
lance and Pittsburg train was made up
at the former station and run through upon
No. As time. The bucolic appearance of
the non-uniformed trainmen created some
excitement at Union depot last evening. the
report being circulated that the regular
crew of the train had been victims of the
accident. The loss to the company will be
heavy, but no estimate could be obtained
last evening on account Of meager reports.

ONE MORE DILEMMA.
Johnstown Unable to Educate Its
Children Without Aid.
AN APPEAL TO THE OUTER WORLD.
One Line of Quite Noticeable Gain From
the Misfortune.
TIE BRIDGE BUILDERS ENJOY A BOOM

Yesterday Secretary Charles Reisfar, OF
the Central Board of Education, received an
appeal for aid from the Board of Education
of Johnstown. It is dated August 6. 1t
states that it is impossible for the board to
secure. by means OF taxation, the money re-
quired to maintain the Johrstown schools
during the current year. No part of the
money contributed to the sufferers can be
used for school purposes.
The board appealed to Governor Beaver
for assistance. but he did not feel that he
possessed the authority to apply to their re-
lief any part Of the educational appropriation
of the Commonwealth.
During the past year the board had under
its control 36 schools and 3S teachers. with
an enrolment Of 1913 pupils. 1t requires
s23, 900 per year to maintain the schools.
During the coming year the board expects
to have 1900 pupils to provide for.
Some of their schoolhouses have been de-
stroyed, and the others are greatly dam
aged. In addition to their losses they have
bonded indebtedness Of 1000, which,
with the reduced valuation of Johnstown
since the deluge, will bring the Indebtedness
of the board up to the constitutional limit.
The board needs s25, 900. This, they say, it
cannot secure by taxation or loans, and for
that reason appeals to the people of Penn
sylvania. This appeal is signed by all the
members Of tine board.
Accompanying the appeal is an indorse-
ment of the needs of the Johnstown schools
BY DR.. E. E. HIgbee, State Superintendent
OF Public Instruction.
A member of the Shifler Bridge Com
pany yesterday said that the food at Johns
town had given some of the Pittsburg bridge
builders a boom. In nearly all instances
the firms that put the destroyed bridges up
secured contracts to rebuild according to the
old drawings. He said quite large num-
ber OF orders had gone East.
The Keystone Bridge Company was next
visited. They replied to a query that the
sweeping away of the bridges along the
Conemaugh did not affect them. Their work
was generally building great viaducts. They
had not done any work toward reconstruct
ing the bridges along the pathway of the
food.
The Pittsburg Bridge Company has had q
fair share of the building of new bridges In
place of the destroyed ones. 1t is a
speciality with this company to construct
small river bridges. Ever since the flood
they have had a considerable boom.

MR.. HOUSTON TALKS.
The Law and Order League Detectives
Have Had Their Bail Renewed-A New
Suit Against the L. nnd O. Society.

The Law and Order League Detectives
Have Had Their Bail Renewed-A New
Suit Against the L. and O. Society.
J. W. Houston, prominent official of
the Law and Order League. was seen last
night at his home on Lincoln avenue in
reference to the forfeiting of bail at Alder
man McNulty's in Allegheny through the
non-appearance of the leagues detectives
He said the circulation of the report
was mere bombast; no such thing
had happened. 1t had been ar
ranged by General Blackley, for Martin,
and Mr.. Rebman for the league, to post
pone the hearing of the detective case before
Alderman Men ulty for a week, until At
torney Yost returned. 1t was necessary to
renew bonds for the detectives, and the
league people were over at McNulty's on
Wednesday afternoon to renew the bonds.
Mr.. Houston himself went there at 3 o'clock,
but the Alderman was away and had left
no one to represent him. The bonds, how
ever, were renewed yesterday morning.
Said Mr.. Houston:
"Martin entered a new suit yesterday
morning against the L. & o., for worldly
employment on Sunday. That is foolish
move, because the judges, three years ago,
reversed a decision given against the
league for worldly employment on a Sun
day. The Law and Order detectives do not
induce men to break the Sunday laws. If
any of our men can be found enticing peo-
pie to break the law, and it can be proven,
we will discharge the man and refund the
fine with costs. want to emphatically
state that we do not receive one red cent out
of the Sunday prosecutions, except in sa-
loon cases. All the fines that are imposed
go to the State, and r. S. Frazer, of Fourth
avenue, collects the money.
"An attempt has been made to connect
our league with the Bauder gang. for the
purpose of bringing it into disreprte. No
such connection ever existed. The Law and
Order Society have been subject to more
Misrepresentation than is generally meted
out to most societies"
