a BRILLIANT WEDDING.
The SIuder-HObIit Marriage az
Given in an Illinois Paper.


The happy marriage of our young
townsman Mr.. Joseph w. Sluder and
Miss Helen Louisa Hoblit, of Lincoln,
Illinois, has already been announced III
THE CITIZEN. 1t appears to have been a
brilliant one; and we sincerely trust the
pathway of those now made so happy
will continue to be as bright and smooth
as it has been auspiciously begun.
We find long account of the ceremony
and attendant incidents in the Lincoln
Daily Courier of the 18th, from which we
make the following extract:
Trinity Episcopal church was a scene
of spendor last night, at o'clock, the
hour appointed for the marriage of Mr..
Joseph w. Sluder. of Asheville, North
Carolina, to Miss. Helen Louise Hoblit,
of Lincoln, Illinois. The interior of the
sacred edifce was decorated with flow
ers, shrubbery and plants in an artistic
manner, giving it the appearance of
fairy bower. The ceremony was of the
beautiful Episcopal form and celebrated
by Rector ]. w. Clampet, of Springfield,
Illinois. At $40 MeSsrS. H. {. Maltby
and w. ]. Pegram entered the church to
the music of the c. O. D. c. orchestra
which played a spirited and inspiring
wedding march. Following the ushers
came the bridal party in the following
order: Mr.. Laurence McLoud and Miss
Edith Blinn; Mr.. Thomas Jones and Miss
Bessie Pegram; Mr.. Fred. NJ. Hoblit
and Miss Berenice Mayfeld, representa-
tives of the bride and groom. Maid of
Honor, Miss Frances Hodges, of Cham
paign, Illinois; the bride supported by
her father, Judge James 7. Hoblit.
AS the procession approached the altar
from the church entrance, the groom, Mr..
Sluder, and his groomsman, Mr.. E. V.
Jones, of Asheville, North Carolina,
awaited the bride and her father, the
groom and supporter having previously
emerged from the vestry. The ceremony
was brief, beautiful and impressive. AT
the conclusion the party filed out of the
church and were conveyed to the palatia
home of Judge and Mrs Hoblit, No. 1874
Ninth street, where an elaborate recep
tion was rendered.

Mr.. F. D. Polk, of Elk Mountain, SAYS
some sportsmen have been killing his
turkeys and palming them off as wild
birds.
A man by the name of Boyd, from New
Found had $50 taken from his pocket
on Friday night. The loss is attributed
to pickpocket.
Work on the stone mansion of Mr.
Chas. McNamee, near the Junction, is
being vigorously pushed; the walls are
up to the second story.
Complaint is made of the excessive
blowing of the whistle at the city quarry
every morning, by invalids in the north
eastern portion of the city.
Joe Hickman, driver for Mann, John
son & Co., ran against a white lady just
in the rear Of the Grand Central hotel
yesterday about four O'Clock, inhicting
painful, though not serious injury.
The cutting off of the water supply yes
! terday was made necessary in order to
put in the new lines of water pipes along
several streets. 1t was turned on
promptly yesterday evening by Superin-
tendent Murray, and is abundant as
usual.
The officers of the Richmond and Dan.
vile railroad made their annual tour o.

upon Fanny Lawson, Anna Lenoir anC
Will Roberts, all colOred, and in defaul
of their giving bail, they were locked W
as witnesses important criminal causes
to come before the criminal court whicl
convenes tomorrow. The Solicitor haC
reason to believe they contemplated
leaving the State:
DR.. c. f. Hilliard narrowly escaped ;
serious accident yesterday morning. Be
ing summoned to attend the unfortunate
men who fell from the Scatfold on Pen
land street, he was riding very rapidly
and turning his horse across bridge OF
North Water street the animals fee
slipped from under it and it fell Fortu
natelv DR.. Hilliard caught on his feet an
was not hurt.
The postoffice received and distribute
: the mails last night from its new qual
ters. The transfer of equipments fror
the old office was made with great di'
patch, rejecting high credit upon the sy'
tematic efficiency of Postmaster Canno
and his assistants. The gain in IL
change was at once apparent in the el
largement of space both for the publ
l and the official force.
. Mr.. Louis Sigglekow, who was me-
toned in our issue of yesterday as havir
, sustained serious injury from beir
thrown from his buggy near Sulphl

Elsewhere this glaring evil is referred
to. Drivers are criminally reckless and
careless, throwing the onus ofprecaution
altogether on the pedestrian who may
be quick enough to get out of the way.
Now, pedestrians have rights as we'll as
drivers. The danger and offensiveness
of this becomes more aggravating when
drivers and riders dash wildly round the
sharp corners of the narrow streets as il
they were careering down open spaces as
straight and wide as Pennsylvania Ave.
nue.. We urge this upon the immediate
consideration of the authorities. Some
day there will be a funeral, and also some
day some heavy suits for damages.

Behind the Age,

A letter was received at the postofiice
yesterday from Stony Ridge, Surry
county, asking for sample copy of the
Weekly Asheville Muse" Our friend
Deake who used to edit the News might
probably be reminded of something he
has had time to forget; for that paper
ceased to exist six years ago at least.
But the man who asks for a samply copy
of the Muse" is no doubt one of those
who believes that General Jackson is still
President of the United States.

,
cerninG the Reception of Testi-
mOny-The Ruling Reversed.
CHICAGO, October 26.ZIn the Cronin
case to-day after DR.. Morehead testined
at great length and minuteness as to the
wounds on DR.. Cronins body, the de
tense moved to exclude his testomony,
on the ground that he had read the
verbatim report of the trial made by the
Associated Press i'll this morning S papers
which gave the entire testimony of Dr.
Egbert. They argued that the physi-
clan read this, knowing that he was to
testify, and that the order of the court
excluded the witnesses while the testi
mony was being taken; yet the reading
OF the testimony had precisely the same
effect as the hearing fit.
Judge Mcconnell said, he thought the
evidence should be excluded, when there
was storm of objections from the prose
cution, and clamors to be heard.
Messrs. Hynes and Mills protested
against such ruling, and said they could
not produce a witness who had not read
all about this case; and the judge might
Just as well adjourn the case now, if he
was going to hold to any such doctrine.
Alter considerable argument on both
sides, the Judge ruled as follows:
"Thc rule of exclusion evidently is for
the purpose OF preventing witnesses who
are excluded from knowing what the
witness on the stand said, either for the
purpose of affirming or contradicting
their testimony, but that the rue was
probably conceived at the time when
most OF the rules pertaining to the jury
were conceived before the newspapers
took such pains to publish all the pro-
cecdings, and | can easily see, that if
should enforce the rule in all its old spirit,
criminal trials and great many civil
cases could not be proceeded with; it
would be impossible. That rule was
wise in its time, and may be wise to
some extent yet, but it cannot be posi-
BILE to make it operate to prevent wit
nesscs from testitying to offences against
the State or tcstitying to matters of de
fence. do not believe that can ell
force the rule. If it were possible for me
to ask the proprietors of newspapers not
to publish these accounts, should un-
questionably do so; but of course, no
such request would be respected. In this
day of wide newspaper circulation and
verbatim reports, do not see that the
court can do more than simply exclude
witnesses from them; that the court ap-
preciates that that does not amount to
anything at ALL"
The motion was consequently over
ruled, and the doctors testimony stands.

was natural she ought to be guided, thus
causing difficulties and conflicts. An
other passage, grateful to Bismarck, de-
scribes the late Emperor Frederick as af-
flictcd, morbid, moody and old in mind
and body long before his fatal disease at
tackled him. His vital energy, the book
declares, was no longer betting the heir
to the imperial crown. The persuasion
OF the Crown Princess was unable to
Danish his sadness. He often thought to
abdicate in favor of his son.

Mataafa Elected by the Chiefs OF

SAN Francisco, October 26.-The as
sociated press correspondent at Apia
Samoa, under date of October Q, con-
firms the report of the election of Ma
taata as King of Samoa by the chiefs Of
the various districts. 1t was expressly
provided that Mataafa should serve as
King only until the agreement entered
into by the three foreign powers should
90 into effect Then, if necessary, new
election would be held. Tamasesc's
followers did not signify their assent to
the election. The correspondent states
that number of Tamascse'e followers
on the island of Savaaii made an attacl,
on some of Mataafa's followers. Ma
taafa's chiefs decided to punish them for
this action; and one hundred warriors;
left Apia on October 10, for Savaaii.
The departure of warriors for Savaaii
makes certain that battle occurred on
that island as reported in the cable dis
patches yesterday.

A TWENTY-FIVE FOOT FALL
Three Men EDreciDitateG From a
ScafTOId Yesterday Morning.

Between and 10 o'clock yesterday
morning, while contractor A. l.. Melton
and four assistants were at work upon a
house on Penland street, the scaffold
upon which they were standing suddenly
gave way, precipitating Mr.. Melton,
Ollie White and David Glass to the ground,
a distance of perhaps twenty-five feet.
The other two men caught hold of the
cornice and saved themselves.
Mr.. Melton sustained very painful in
juries about the shoulders and chest, and
it was some time before he could be re,
stored to consciousness. He was taken
to the residence of Mrs. Penland, where
he remained until during the afternoon
when he was removed to his home, and
ries when lasthe ard from was doing very
we'll
Ollie White, who is a timer in the EN-
ploy of J X. Hill, though not stunned SC
much as Mr.. Melton, was more seriously
hurt. He was taken to his home or
Church street, and it was feared during
the afternoon that he was dying, but at
last accounts he was slightly better
though in imminent danger. His thigl
was terribly bruised, and at first thought
to be broken, and evidently internal iniu
were also sustained.
David Glass fortunately escaped will
only a slight cut on the nose, and very
severe shaking up.
Drs {. Z. billiard, J. A. Burroughs, H
b. Weaver, w. L. Hilliard and S. W. Bat
tie were all in attendance or consultation
and everything done to alleviate the SUI
fering of the unfortunate men.
The ladies i'll the neighborhood wher
the accident occurred did much in the wa,
of kindness to the men before the doctor
arrived on the ground.
Mr. Melton is one of the best know
architects and builders in the city, and hi
many friends here and in other portion
of the west will regret to hear of his mi.
fortune.
