MARRIED AT THE COURT HOUSE.
A Couple From Fairfax County Who
Avoided the Brides Father.

About 10 o'clock this morning a couple en-
tered the clerks Office at the court house and
procured a marriage license in the names of
Patrick Archer and Florence Holester, both of
Fairfax county, Va. The groom, apparently
a hard-working man OF twenty-five years,
was attired in a dark snit and had in his pocket
a pair of white gloves which he donned when
the minister, Rev. E. d. Bailey, was called
in. The bride was quite Q bright looking
woman OF thirty-three, attifed in D gray
suit and white straw hat and being a widow
seemed to know the ropes. When they pro-
cured the license they walked out to find q
minister. Patrick was of the Catholic faith,
while Florence was Baptist, but they compro-
missed by agreeing to call in an Episcopalian.
RETURNED FROM AN UNSUCCESSFUL sKARcH.
So many clergymen OF that faith we're out of
town that they had no success in their search,
and in a short time they returned to the court
house and said il would make little difference

stated that this morning they left their homes
and walked down the railroad from Fairfax to

tions in advance. One Of the rooms in the
court house was opened and they we're soon
ready for the minister. An offer to procure
a bridesmaid was accepted, ''if it didn't cost
too much" and when the announcement was
made to the copyists of the recorders ONCE q

SOUTH DAKOTAS CONVENTION.
The States Made for the Republican
Nominations.

MINNEAPOLIS, MIMI, Aug. 2s.-The Journals
Huron, SD, special says: This mornings
trains increased the crowd at the republi-
can state convention to fully 2,OO0, the
largest political gathering in the history Of the
Dakotas. The states made last night have been
received this morning. The entire night was
devoted to caueusing. The mass temperance
gathering last night added strength to prohi-
bition.
In his speech Gov. Mellette urged constitu-
tional prohibition, as did Kanause, Woodford,
Picker and Others. Prohibition resolutions
have been prepared.
The scheme last night to secure the nomina-
ton Of VAN Osdel instead of Patten for lieuten-
ant-governor has practically fallen through.
The farmers who urged Van 0sdel found that
the prohibitionists would not go to
Van Osdel because he championed
high license in the legislature last
winter. They stick to Patten and have fine
prospect Of success. Col. Smediey of Grant
will certainly be temporary chairman. Mat

gained strength since the caucus last night
A trade was proposed to the Scaadinavians to

BLOCK AGAIN ARRESTED.
Another United States Commissioner Is
sues q Warrant for Him.

The fourth warrant of the kind against In
spector Block Of the police force was issued to-
dap on the oath Of Ferdinand Lowenstein. It
charges substantially the same as the other
warrants, 'compounding a felony" The
warrant this time was issued
by United States Commissioner
Warren O. Stone. United States Commissioners
Johnson decided that such an officer had no
jurisdiction In the matter. The warrant, like
the last one that was 'thrown out
Of court" charges that the offense
alleged was committed in connection with the
arrest Of Frank Munroe alias Brainard and the
robbery of a diamond ring from Mrs. Alice
Parker. The history Of the officers connection
with the arrest of Munroe has already
been detailed in the Police Court in the case
that was tried there and of which charge the
officer was acquitted.
The warrant issued today was served on the
officer by Deputy Marshal Joyce, who found
him at police headquarters. The officer ac-
companied him to the Office Of Commissioner
Stone.
The Commissioners attention was called to
the case by Mr.. H. E. Davis, counsel for the
officer. Commissioner Stone explained that
under the law he was obliged to issue the war
rant because the charge was sworn to by
Lowenstein. He understood that the allega-
tions were the same as those fled before Com
missioner johnson with the exception that the
value OF the ring was placed at more
than $685. The Commissioner said he
would give the officer all the time
he wanted to inquire into the matter and did
not even require the officers personal recog-
nizanee for his appearance. The case went
ever until 10 o'clock Monday morning.

him almost to his door. His mother heard one
OF the pursuers with an Irish brogue say: ''Give

became unconscious before anything could be

THE CzAR's BERLIN VISIT.
1t Is Not Expected that the Russian
Monarch Will Go to Germany.

LONDON, Aug. 28.-There Is little expecta-
ton in Berlin now that the visit Of The
car Of Russia to Emperor William, which
was only recently fixed for the Gath
Of this month, will come of at all.
The emperor's published plans for his move
ments from this out appear to leave little
room for so important an event as the cars
visit and IL looks as though William mas rs little
expectation of seeing the car In Berlin shortly
as have his subjects. The continental bourses
echo the distrust Of the czar's intentions and
Russian securities have again experienced o
sharp decline which the free buying of the
Partisan spectators could not measurably
check.
In explanation of the abandonment of the
long overdue visit the German press assert that
the proud Russian monarch grew furious on
reading the report Of Williams speech recently
III toasting the emperor of Austria. in which
he referred to the possibility of German and
Austrian soldiers fighting shoulder TO shoulder.
1t is even stated that
THE GEAR HASTILY PEHNED NOTE IN HIS OWN
HAND,
which he dispatched by q special messenger to
Emperor William, asking him to explain this
language and intimating that q visit to Berlin
on his part was impossible so long az this open
threat to Russia was allowed to stand unex-
planned. This note, according to the reports,
was far from conciliatory in its nature and the
emperors reply was at no pains to put the
angry monarch in better humor. All these
reports Can scarcely be traced to an autheri.
tstive source, but they seem to obtain uni
versal credence in Berlin, and the official press
allows them to 60 uncontradicted,
WHICH ALONE II SIGNIFICANT.
However, all guessing will be at An end in
few days when the czar leaves Copenhagen.
Should he set his face southwark from there
Europe will take a long breath OF relief, but il
he goes back to his own capital il can only be
accepted throughout Germany as indicating
marked hostility to the fatherland. Indeed
Germany, for some time, has hoped for nothing
more from Russia than pretense of friendli-
ness and even this has all along been accepted
with some comfort, as showing at least that
considerations Of prudence, if nothing more,
prevents the "bear' from showing his teeth
Should this pretense be now abandoned It
would be accepted as the first signal for the
clash of arms

AN INTERESTING POINT SETTLED.
Judge Mills Holds the Head Of House
Responsible for the Dogs.

Three colored men-John Mitchell, Samuel
Boswell and William Jackson-were before the
Police Court this morning, charged by Police
man Proctor with failing to have collars and
tags on their dogs. Lawyer Jordan defended
them and attempted to show that one of the
dogs belonged to the daughter Of one Of the
defendants.
II suppose that he owns both the dog and the
daughter" said 0ficer Proctor.
"You forget" said counsel, "that the days Of
slavery have passed"

fcer. ! have some boys and they belong to
me, and they are not slaves"
"Well,. added the lawyer, ''you don't know

house was responsible for the dogs on their
premises and held the defendants guilty.

A Singular Document That Crspt lut>

Many a curious thing comes into the Navy
department through the mail--crank letters,
applications, poems, plans Of wonderful ships,
all sorts Of oddities-but there was one thing in

Of the queer. It was not, Of itself, SO particu-
larly odd; in fact it was very matter of-fact
sort Of paper-an Official document-but the
curious part of 1t was why on earth IL should ever
have been sent to the Navy department.. It was
simply certificate signed by county clerk in
Tennessee that certain man had married
certain woman in April, 1888. 1t was first sent
to the acting secretary, Commodore Walker,
who said that he did not know anything about
1t and sent IL to the clerk Of detail. This off,
cial was 30 much puzzled as his chief and IL
went back TO the mail room, whence il drifted
over into the Office Of the judge advocate gen.
eral. Here IL was examined with care and ell
the points shout IL were considered. After
much deliberation II WAS declared piece Of
hotsam and sent back to the nail room again.
No one wants il and 10 will probably be sent
down to the pension office, where 1t un-
doubleday should have been mailed from Ten

THE BOY DOES NOT APPEAR.
A Case In the Police Court That CAM
not BE Tried

The case OF saloonkeeper Richard Ryan Of
South Washington, against whom q charge Of
selling liquor to minors is pending in the Po-
lice Court, was called to Judge Mills attention
by Prosecuting Attorney Forrest this morning
and 1t was further continued on account Of .
missing witness.
The missing witness Is Karl Frett, boy
eleven years old. The boys father was in
cours and he told strange story of the boys
absence. Although but eleven years old
his father said we went to Baltimore
without his knowledge. His boy, he said, was
now working in Baltimore an errand boy
and he did not know whether he could get him
here as o witness or not
Judge Mills granted further continuance of
ten days and advised the father to have his boy
here at the trial If possible.
Judge Mills said that he was Of the opinion
that the father Of the boy was in contempt of
court and directed the prosecuting attorney to
look into the law before tho case is again called
for trial.
The Judge also requested the attorney to
see ii there was any way to compel the attend
dance of the boy.
