Financial Opportunity.

The undersigned having assumed the
general eastern agency for the sale of the
stock and building lots of the MUNCIE NAT
URAL GAS LAND IMPROVEMENT COMPANY of
Muncie, Indiana, respectfully offers them to
the public, believing this to be an unpar-
alleled opportunity to make money rapidly
and legitimately on a moderate invest
ment-having spent over three weeks at
Muncie and the offices of the company
looking over its charming city, its tfty-three
manufactures, aud its wonderful natural
gas, which warns and lights the homes of
its 10000 people, propels its factories, lights
its streets and saves its people in fuel and
light area y over $780, 600 annually. Its
population has doubled i'll the last few
months and must soon reach 10000. Hav-
ing thoroughly investigated its affairs and
the standing of its officers to complete salts
faction, the expert prediction is that the
stock which is to-day offered at $50 per
share will, inside of eighteen months, COM
mand $3.50, and its building lots increase in
value over fourfod. Those who invest
now will get the bottom or ground floor
prices. The man or woman of moderate
means will receive the same consideration
in purchasing one share of stock or one
building lot as the banker or capitalist.
All orders from this section of the country
are passed to the credit of the eastern agent,
whether made through him or the officers
of the company. All correspondence or ln-
vestments made will be regarded as strictly
confidential, and those dealing here direct
may receive advice and suggestions which
they have neither the time or opportunity
to devote to at the general offices of the
company. The subscriber has taken per-
sonally and disposed of to intimate
friends dlreddV over 900 worth of stock
and building lots, and respectfully invites
correspondence and personal visitation at
his office, where he will be happy TO extend
every courtesy he possesses to inqurers
and customers. Respectfully,
FRANK II. BAsCoM,
General Eastern agent.

The flood of 1889 will pass into
history us the most disastrous in
the experience of our country.

Enormous as the loss is in this
instance, however, it is small

the old world lnundations. In
1880 the giving way of the dikcs
in Holland caused an overflow ia
which 1000 persons lost their
lives. Eighty-seven years later,
or in 1917, 1000. persons perish

swept across Silesia 10 1913, when
a Turkish garrison of 2000 sol
dIers also met an instantaneous
death. The same year in Pollard
400. lives were lost in the fury of
an unexpected deluge. A disas-
Ter somewhat similar to that a.
Johnstown occurred IN Lorca,
Spain, in 1902, but only l 900
persons were drowned IN the wa

In the lnundatIon of Eantzlc in
1929, 1000 homes with their oc,
cupants were swept away by the
waters. Tho following year at
Vienna the dwellings, of 10000
residents were under water, bu.

MARRIAGE.
Mr.. Il. d. Tenney and Miss Rose Makee
United in the Holy Bonds.

Mr.. Il. ID. Tenney and Miss Rose NaIee
United in the Holy Bonds.
Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock Mr..
+. D. Tenney, OF the firm of Castle d
Cooke, was married to Miss Rose Makee,
daughter OF the late Captain and Mrs.
James Makee, the ceremony being i'm
pressively performed in the Anglican
ritual by the Rev. Alexander Mackin-
tosh in st. Andrews Cathedral. Only
very immediate friends of the contract
ing parties were present in the church,
the general invitations issued having
been but for a wedding reception at the
residence OF Mr.. F. 2. Hastings. The
following invited witnesses to the religl-
Gus rite were seated near the front before
the hour announced: Hon. and Mrs. J.
5. Anterior, Hon. and Mrs. w. r. Cas-
tie, Mr.. and Mrs Geo. P. Castle, Miss
Carrie Castle, Mrs DR.. Herbert. Mrs.
Noonan, Mr.. and Mrs. w. a. Bowen,
Mrs. Adele Cornwell, Miss Blanche
Cornwell, Mrs. Widdifeld, Miss Adele
Widdifeld, Mrs. D. 4. Vida and son.
PunCtual to the moment the bride
groom entered and advanced to the
altar, accompanied by Mir. &. T. Bishop,
his best man. Mr. Wray Taylor saluted
their entry with wedding march finely
played on the organ. After the lapse Of
a few minutes the bride entered leaning
on the arm of her brother, Hon. Parker
n. Makee, and attended by Miss Kitty
Spalding, the bridesmaid. They were
followed by Col. and Mrs u. S. Spalding
and Mr.. and Mrs. +. P. Hastings, who
took seats in the front OF the church.
The bride looked very lovely attired in a
beautiful white brocaded silk dress with
train, covered with a snow-white bridal
veil surmounted by a pretty cluster OF
orange blossoms. 1t was difficult III the
body of the church, owing to the lively
breezes blowing through the open doors
and windows, to hear the modulated
tones in which the ritual was spoken,
yet the brides responses were perfectly
audible to the fan thest recesses of the
cathedral Mr. Makee gave the bride
away and the whole ceremony was quiet
and unassuming. The organist played
soft music throughout, and as the party
retired sounded out the march grandly.
MIR. and Mrs. Tenney made handsome
couple beyond the conventional aCcepta
ton of the term. The bridegroom makes
a new start i'll life in double sense, as
his marriage and his admission to the
prominent commercial house above
mentioned have occurred on the same
day.

Mr.. Warfel, until just now chief en-
gineer Of the steamer Mikahala, was on
Monday p. m. 4th, summarily invited by
telephone, at his shore quarters uptown,
to attend festiyity vaguely described
on board that vessel at the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company's wharf.
/ Capt. Freeman presided over the saloon
table spread with good cheer, and be-
sides the guest named above there were
present Mr.. w. II. Mclean, treasurer,
Mr.. Keech, experimenting engineer, Mr..
| r. n. Webster, wharf shipping clerk, OF
the company; Mr.. Ross, purser, and
Mr.. L. Wessner, second engineer, OF the
Mikahala and representatives of the
ADVERTISER and Bulletin.
The party were no sooner seated than
PurSer Ross arose and in a neat speech
presented Mr. Warfel with a gold-headed
cane, as token of his shipmates' es-
TEEN won during their intercourse with
him, and of their good wishes that would
accompany him on his contemplated
trip to the United States.
Mr. Warfel in accepting the gift ex-
pressed the great surprise he felt at re-
ceiving such a farewell compliment. He
never dreamt that the friendship of his
mates would have taken such shape.
With the heartiest feelings of reciprocal
ton he accepted and would treasure the
beautiful cane, the possession of which
made him feel almost too proud to call
on President Harrison
Mr.. Warfel's health was smilingly
drunk, after which Capt. Freeman pro
posed that OF the 'Inter-Island Com
pany," and Mr. Webster, 1.-The Press. :"
The members OF the latter briefly
thanked the company for the privilege
OF being witnesses to their ceremony of
good fellowship.
The cane bestowed on Mr.. Warfel is
handsome one of ebony fitted with a
sheath. Its gold head is artisticall Y
chased and inscribed in script as follows

Mikahala, March /, 1882" 1t was pre-
pared and furnished to order by Messrs.
Wenner d Co., and is ''shillelaly'' fit
for king. Mr.. Warfel came out from
Philadelphia in the S. S. Mariposa of the
Oceanic Line, and after a period OF
service as one OF the engineers of
that ship, was transferred to the
Zealandia. As chief engineer he
brought the S. S. Mikahala here from
the Coast, remaining in that position
ever since. The vessel is favorably
known as the principal one running be-
tween here and Kauai. Mr. Warfel is
one of those genial souls that make
friends wherever they so, and the circle
is a large one here of those who have en-
joyed his never-failing cheerlulness and
good-humor. Mr.. Warfel leaves by his
old boat, the S. S. Zealandia, next Satur-
day, and after short stay in San Fran
cisco viii visit his former home in
Pennsylvania.
