WHITING WILLIAMS.

The residence of MT and Mrs O. c.
 Gordon at Sharon Valley, Conn. was the scene of a very pretty home we'd ding on Wednesday, October 2stb,
 where, in the presence of about fifty
 guests, including relatives and friends from New York, Brooklyn, and Pough- keepsie, N. Y, Elizabeth, N. J., and
 Waterbury, Conn.,, Miss Sadie E.
 Williams, sister of Mrs Gordon, WIS united in marriage with Mir Georg e Whiting of Bridgeport. Promptly at the hour appointed the bridal party en- tered the parlors to the music of very pretty wedding march rendered by Miss Leach of Brooklyn. Miss Jess @ Gordon, niece of the bride, and Master Willie Walton performed the duties of bridesmaid and grooms- man in very pleasing manner. The bridal couple stood beneath beautiful arch of evergreens and roses. The cer- emony was performed by Rev Mir Rum ney, the beautiful and impressive Epis- copal service being used. After receiv- ing the hearty congratulations and good wishes of their many friends, all were invited to the dining room where a bouutiful repast was served. The pres ents were numerous and beautiful but lack of time and space will not permit of description of them. but among them we noticed two solid silver spoons from the grandmother of the groom which were nearly one hundred years old. No doubt the young couple will prize them very highly, not so much for their intrinsic value as for their antiquity and associations. At three o'clock the bridal party left amid an abundant shower of rice, old sh pes and the hearty good wishes of host oi friends They drove to West Cornwall where they took an evening train or the Housatonic road for Bridgeport and they went at once to their own home which they had all furnished and ir readiness for housekeeping. May theil journey through life be strewn with roses, aud the sunshine of love. keeI the pathway of the young couple always free from thorns, is the wish of theil host of friends. w.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5. 1891

The New York Times of October 29. and the New York World of October 30 published long articles concerning an application or applica- tions for receiver for the Poughkeep- sic Bridge, and the Central New Eng land & Western Railroad. With regard to the Bridge there may be some color to the rumors for application for re- ceiver, as the Bridge Go has been ire quently re-organized; but with regard to the railroad there Is probably no foundation for the rumor. A gentle man connected with the company states that the road is now doing the largest business in it's history and all the float ing debt, he said, could be paid off at once with what is due to the company
 that is, the balance of current accounts in it's favor. ...... .-

} he London Times Attacks Us.

LONDON, Nov. 3.-The London Times re- porter at Valparaiso sends long tele- gram describing how the United States supported Hippolyte, of Hayti, in the overthrow of Legitime. The writer goes on to say that the policy of the United States toward Hayti is identical with that pursued in Chili. The dispatch refers to Egan's visits to Balmaceda, and says that it suited the dictator's purposes to follow the example of Hippolyte, and make yer. bal promises, which he could deny later on, meantime securing the support of the United States. Egan and Blaine well knew that the Congressonalists would scorn such q treaty which recognized that the navy of the United States must needs be prostituted to the defense of despotism against liberty. Civilized nations were supremely interested in knowing whether Americans approved applying Ia formida ble navy to the support of an anarchical nOlicv

Ire Whole Conduct of the Authorities
 in Valparaiso During the Late Unpleas-

 warrantably High Hand ed Character.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-Further details of the affray between the Chilians at Val paraiso and seamen of the United States cruiser Baltimore have been received by cable from Captain Schley, whose dis patch confirms the previous report that the Valparaiso police treated the Balti- more's men outrageously, and assisted the mob in it's work of killing two of the crew and wounding others. The dispatch from Captain Schley follows:
 VALPARAISO, Oct. 31. Secretary of the Navy:
 Petty Officer Johnson, in whose arms Charles w. Ruggan was killed, declares that the act was done by the police guard. Apprentice Francis D. Williams reports that he was a1'- rested by mounted policeman, who placed catgut nippers around his wrist and started his horse into gallop, throwing him down. After that the policeman walked his horse. Co;l Heaver Patrick McWilliams was arrested and taken to prison, with catgut nippers around his wrists and lasso around his neck. He was bitten in the arm after arrest. Coal Heaver Joseph Quigley, wh1b trying to effect escape from the mob was struck with a sword by a police officer. Apprentice John W. Talbot was arrested, catgut nippers were placed around his wrists, and the way to prison he was struck repeatedly by police.
 Dragged Unconscious to Prison.
 Petty Officer John Hamilton dangerously wounded and unconscious was dragged to pris. on. One of my people trying to make him comfortable was threatened with the butt of a musket and made to assist My men in prison were examined secretly, although I sent all officer to the court to request authority to al low his presence. The request was denied on account of the proceedings being secret. Be fore discharge my men were required to sign a paper, but before doing it Rinehart asked s court official the meaning of the paper. He was l informed that it was a mere form stating that the signer was not engaged in the trouble Two are dead, three are dangerously wounded and about fifteen slightly injured. Surgeons believe the wounded out of danger.
