OUR MARY'S MARRIAGE.
Miss Anderson to Wed Antonio
Navarro Next Tuesday.

NdVdIfO NCAC
New YORK, June 14.-At the Bromp-
ton oratory, in London, Tuesday morn-
ing next. Miss Mary Anderson will wed
Antonio Navarro, of New York. The
ceremony will be performed by Cardinal
Manning. When the engagement of
Miss Anderson was announced it was
stated that the wedding would be one
of the most fashionable affairs of the
season, and that, too, cards of admission
to the pro-cathedral were already in de-
mand as long ago as January. 1t has
been decided, however, for reasons not
made public, that the wedding will be as
private as possible. The only persons
who will attend are DR.. Griffin and his
wife (the latter is the mother of the
bride); Joseph Anderson, her brother,
and his wife, who is the daughter
of Lawrence Barrett; Alfonso Navarro
and Miss Lytton, daughter of the pres
ent British ambassador at Paris; the
two latter will witness the ceremony.
For some reason Nine. Navarro, who
was the chaperone of Miss Anderson,
while travelling through the south of
France, will not attend. She is at Rome.
Navarro pere is i'll this city, and when
seen to-day by a reporter, did not seem
to know very much about MS prospective
daughter-in-law's moveme nts. He said
he guessed the newspaper stories about
the wedding were correct. He had not
been informed as to whether, after the
marriage, the happy couple would re-
turn to this city and take up their abode.
He inclined to the belief that Miss An
derson was partial to life in London,
but he thought they would live in this
city. He did not think it unlikely that
they would reside OH Madison avenue,
near Fifty-second street, when they
return to the city in October. The bride
and groom will leave England after the
ceremony and visit Paris, Rome. Venice
and Geneva. They will reach London
again early in October.

STRUCK BY JOVE'S BOLT.
Terrific and Fatal Electrical
Storm in Kentucky.


Storm in Kentucky.
PARIS, KY, June IA terrific light
ming and thunder storm passed over
the northern part of this county about
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Two of
a fishing party were killed and two
others badly injured. They were fish
ing at the pond of Berry Bedford, five
miles from this city. when the storm
came up. and took shelter under a
couple of cattle troughs. After remain
ing there a while they agreed to start
for home, and as they came from under
the shelter lightning struck it and Jo-
seph Sheaks, aged eighteen, and Lish
Wilson, colored, aged fifteen, were
killed. BIanton Speaks was badly
burned about the face and one
of his ewes forced from its socket
and hanged down his cheek.
Edward Kennedy was also stunned and
dazed, and knew nothing for several
hours, although able to walk home a
distance of two miles. When he arrived
home he was asked about the other
bows, but was unable to tell or give any
account of them. After while Blan-
ton Speaks was seen coming, and he
was so disfgured that his family sup
posed that he had been In a fight. All
he could say was: "The trough"
meaning the other boys could be found
in the trough, and he has since been
unconscious and will probably die. A
searching party was sent out about 10
O'Clock, and the two dead boys were
fonnd where he indicated. This morn
ing Kennedy is able to talk, and says he
remembers putting the three boys in
hap oil Hoa6 ac
they were as timber as rags. At Mary
Vile, Ind, twenty miles north of Jetfer-
sonville, at D. m. yesterday, William
e. Stoner, aged thirty-eight, married
man and father of large family, was
killed by bolt of lightning. Stoner
and his little sons we're in a field cut
ting grass for the cattle when Stoner
was struck. The boys were IN another
part of the field.

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, June 14.-At least
half million dollars worth of property
was destroyed in this city and vicinity
last night. Never since 1857, when the
waters rose and overwhelmed nearly all
Rockford, has such disastrous flood
visited this section as that of last even
ing. For three hours the rain fell in
torrents. vivid lightning played, and
following each flash came terrific pealS
of thunder. The storm commenced
about $50 o'clock. and in surprising
space of time every street was turbul-
ent river. The creeks swelled, and in
moment devastating floods were
sweeping through Kent and Keith
creek valleys. Each creek drains an
immense area of territory and
from every side came contributions to
the waters until the creeks had become
destructive torrents. Down the Keith
everything before it. The banks of the
creek were powerless to confne the
mad waters, and they spread over the
low lands, filling cellars and creeping
up to the first stories of residences, ,drlv-
ing occupants of houses from their beds.
The lumber piles in the rear of the fac
tories were picked up by the waters and
borne along, the plank and railroad ties
proving batterlng rams which took
down the bridges spanning the creek OF
Railroad avenue and Sixth and Fifth
streets. While the fire department and
police were working in Woodruff's adj
dition, word was received that people
living around Kent creek were in dis
tress, aud asking for the patrol and as
sistance Immediately. Mayor Sherratt,
with force of men, hurriedly loaded
boat into the wagon and were soon at
the water edge. On Cedar street
the scene was awful. Men, wOm-
en- and children were out in the
rain, many weeping and wringing their
hands and all excited. 1t was minia-
ture Johnstown flood, and somewhat
similar in many respects. Before the
people were hardly aware of 1t, the
water was rushing down the creek, and
came creeping into their homes, driving
families out into the darkness and rain.
The mayors party did some valiant
work in taking the people from their
homes. All the parts of the city were
flooded, and hundreds of people rem
dered homeless. The spectacle this
morning presented a scene of desolation
and ruin. The wreck of the Milwaukee
road presents the worst appearance.
For nearly half mile the track has
been lifted bodily and carried from
thirty to fifty feet to the east. The
rails under the cars are twisted and
bent into a circle, the water coming
with such terrific force that it bent and
played with the heavy rails like straws.
All the railway companies suffer heav-
lily, and every bridge over Kent and
Keith creeks were swept away.

LONDON, June 14.-Queen Victoria
and the cabinet are in brisk communi-
cation over the reorganization of the
army. Her majesty is very anxious
that the great post of commander-in-
chief should remain as heretofore, an
appanage of the crown, and should be
inherited in due time by the Duke of
Connaught; but Mr. Stanhope, secre-
tary of state far war, and the mill
tary authorities are persuaded that if
England is to maintain her army in
state of efficiency at all approaching
that of the continental powers, it is nee
essary that the supreme command
should be vested in an expert soldier.
versed alike in the theory and practice
of his profession. So the secretary for
war wishes that the duke should be sat-
isfied with commanding the troops in
Ireland, where princely rank is socially
appreciated, and where, happily. no
serious military responsibility is in
yOlVed.

TOLD ONLY THE TRUTH.
The Globes Correspondent Makes
an Explanation,

an Explanation,
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-The GLOBE
correspondent with the editorial eXeur-
sion leaves for home by the Baltimore
& Ohio train tomorrow afternoon. Fol-
lowing is his card, which will appear in
the Washington Post tomorrow, in
response to Mr.. Hunts card in the Post
of this morning. The card speaks for
itself and needs no explanation:
To the Editor of the Post: Will you
kindly allow me to arise to personal
explanation, and will your half million
readers pardon modest man, who is
not in love with the first person singu-
lar, for using the prOnoun II" more
frequently than might seem to be in
good taste? In my professional capac-
ity as correspondent for the st. Paul
GLOBE with the Minnesota editorial ex-
cursion l stood very close to President
Harrison while the procession moved
forward to shake hands with his excel.
lency. No word spoken escaped met
No movement of either the presiden
or his visitors remained unnoticedi
for I have large professiona-
pride to do my work well.
Then, passing behind the president, !!
joined the band in the room thatis called
the blue. Maybe there was something
in the coloring of the room to color the
opinions of men. Not one kind word
did | hear for Benjamin Harrison OF his
administration; and | submit to you,Sir.
if | did not manifest extraordinary tact,
patience and good taste in only tele-
graphing to the paper represented that
/ did not hear one pleasant comment
upon the chief magistrate of the nation.
wnen, if l had told in cold print what l
did actually hear, it must have tempor-
arily disturbed the wheels of the uni
verse. l only object to one word in my
friend Mr.. Hunts communication to
your paper yesterday. Really there
was no call for the word ''coWardly."
The man who has the courage of con-
viction and tells the truth, as he sees
and hears it, hardly deserves the cpl
thet ''coWardly." MI. Hunt will real
lie this when he has time to think and
consult the dictionary as to the full
meaning of the word, And now, as to
my friend Maj. NewSon, recently ap-
pointed to what the major himself calls
''the consulate of Malaga" l will not
steal your space further than simply to
ask the major the question. Whats the
use of lying after election?" Very truly.

is bitterly criticised for its announced
intention to question the people as to
their religious faith in the decennial CEN
sus of 1891. There is but one precedent
of the kind in England, and that in 1851,
when statistics were gathered as to at
tendance at religious worship, and ac-
commodation for such attendance. The
penal sections of the census act did not
apply to this branch of information, and
the results were neither valuable nor
satisfactory. Protests are coming i'll
from non-conformist bodies against a
religious census, the motive apparently
being that the enumerators would dis
criminate in favor of the Church of Egg
land, by counting for that church
all who do not belong to any church.
A series Of questions were sent to the
congregations of the established church
of Scotland, asking whether marriages
were usually celebrated in the church
or in the house. The answers showed
that in the Highlands and northeastern
counties marriages had been held in
churches from time immemorial; else
where the custom was somewhat mixed.
One parish answered: "Most fire.
quently in churches. on account of a
special money bequeSt to the tallest,
smallest and oldest brides married
there during the year."

RAGE FOR LARGE ARMIES.
1t Involves Small States in EnOr-
nous Expense.

1t Involves Small States in Enor-
nous Expense.
LONDON, June 14.-The rage for large
armies which possess the great powers,
as indicated by the large military cred
its now being asked of their respective
parliamentary bodies by Germany, Aus
tria, France and England, involves some
of the small states in considerable eX-
pense. The Swiss have met the mod
ern changes in the conditions of war by
the creation of an admirable militia, or
army of citizen Soldiery, and have rec
ognized that the value of such force
is in proportion to the training of it's
officers. But the triple alliance has
made the Swiss aware that their neu-
trality may be endangered by the at
tempt to effect in Western Switzer-
land a junction between portions
of the German and Italian armies. Ac-
government has been preparing to de-
fend the country in such an event, and
thus to assert the neutrality which sub
sistS in international law. The plan
which has been adopted consists in the
fortification of the summit of st:
GOthard. The valleys of the Rhone and
of the Rhine form a deep depression,
running from east to west OF
Switzerland, interrupted only by
the mass of the st. Gothard.
From the Rhone valley to the Rhine
valley there is good road, ascending
by the Furka pass to the plateau of
Andermatt. and descending to the
Rhine valley by the OberaIt pass. The
Italian army, in any attempt to cross
Switzerland, must do so either by the
st. Gothard or by the great chain of the
Alps into the Rhone valley or the Rhine
valley. But either of these valleys is
an awkward place to get Outof. The val
leys are made easy of defense both
by natural formation and by forts. The
plateau Of Andermatt commands not
only the pass of st. Gothard, but the
valleys, and whoever is able to hold it
can prevent any passage across SWltZer-
land from south to north. The Swiss
government has spent and voted since
1885 no less than S1,s75,O00 on the
strengthening of this commanding posi-
ton. Forts have been placed so as to
confront each of the four roads. by
which alone the stronghold can be
passed. and large force of troops has
been cantoned in the vic unity ready to
make the most of the facilities for re-
pelling intrusion if the occasion arises.

WATERFOWL, S. D., June 4.-At a
public meeting tonight, the citizens OF
Watertown decided to accept the propo-
sitlon of the city of Huron to
withdraw from the race for the
permanent capital of South Dakota.
The conditions of the proposition are
that a payment of $4,000 in cash Is to
be made by the city Of Huron to the city
of Watertown, and that note for $50
600, signed by forty citizens of Huron,
payable to the city of Water
town due Jan. l. 1884,. also
be given. The condition of the
note is that it be paid, provided the
people by their votes decide to locate
the capital of the state at Huron, IL
not, then it is valueless. This does not
mean that the citizens of Water
town have sold their votes TO
Huron for the capital. but that
they get back portion of the
money expended by this city in the cap
ital race last year. A large number OF
citizens are outspoken in saying this
will prove boomerang to Huron, and
many conservative ones confidently as
sert that Pierre will receive three
fourths of the vote of this city and Cod
ingtOn county.

MOONLIGHTERs' CRIMES.
The Situation in Ireland Is Very
Grave.

Grave.
LONDON, June 14.-In Irela nd the sit
uation is very grave, and crimes of viO-
lence are not infrequent. A young
man named James Walsh, found in
dyiug condition with bullet wound
in his head, near his ia
theirs house in a remote section
of the County Cork, is believed to have
been shot by party of men who were
engaged in an attack on the premises of
farmer named Mynihan. 1t is thought
Walsh demonstrated against the out
rage and received bullet intended for
the inmates of the house. The police
are still at sea as to the cause
of the explosion near the police
barracks at Cashel. Several police
officers had a narrow escape. A half
pound gunpowder can was found which
had either been thrown at the barracks
or placed with fuse against the wall.
A farmer named David Roche, in Linn
erick county, was murdered on the
highway a few nights ago, portions Of
his skull being driven into his brain.
He had interfered to protect
gamekeeper of Lady Ashton, who
summoned some persons for trespass.
AuZine Rice and William and Thomas
Kent have been sentenced to jail at
Fermoy for conspiracy to boycott Rob
ert Brown, the agent of Mr.. McCaus-
land, of Belfast, who took farm from
which the former tenant, Richard Rice,
had been eyicted. Mary Murphy,
servant of Brown, went to the Fermoy
fair to buy pigS,and Kent and the others
prevented people from selling to her.

VIEWING THE WRECK.
Crowds Gather at the Scene of the
Bull Creek DiSaiter.

NASHVILLE, KY, June 14.-All day
long people for ten miles around have
been coming and going to see the Ches-
apeake & Ohio railroad wreck and the
storm damages at Bull creek near Mays
vile. This creek empties into the
Ohio river some five miles above Mays
vile. The clouds broke near James
Irwin's portable saw mill, half mile
above the railroad stone culvert and
hurled the mill and logs against the
culvert, sweeping it away. Right in
the. track of this torrent stood Widow
Hesler's log cabin, which was lifted up
and carried along with it. She and her
two daughters were drowned. Neal
Coryell's tobacco barn was struck
by lightning, and it and the con-
tents burned. The Lewis and Mason
turnpike is washed away from Flum-
vile to the Lewis county line. The
strong double span iron railroad bridge
over Cabin creek fell in this evening
after a train had just crossed over.
The turnpike bridges from Bull creek
to Burtonville are nearly all washed
away. The loss in buildings, bridges,
fences crops and live stock cannot be
estimated. The railroads damage is
put at 100000. The bodies of Engineer
Rodcap and Fireman Hanaker were
found in the cab of their engine in the
wreck last night. Rodcap was on his
seat one hand grasping the throttle and

An Original Package Dealer Fired
Out of Dayton, 10.

FORT DODGE, To-, June 1.-the citi-
Aens of Dayton, To-, have undertaken
the suppression of original package"
business into their own hands. A
couple of weeks ago branch of this in
dustry was established there. Although
the town is strongly in favor of prohi-

now legalized traffic until five-y ear
old boy was seen toddling around the
street in a state of intoXication. Then
the citizens arose in their might and

must go. The agent thought it was not
wise to disobey the order and has closed
up his place of business and taken his
