strong in the parade. This, coupled with
the entertainments in Music Hall tonight,
were the chief features of the day. Delega-
tions composed OF hundreds from each point
arrived early this morning from Pittsburg,
Canton, Chicago and Erie. A sultry atmos-
phere being over the city, threatened to have
Il serious effect upon the members in line
but the Juniors did not come here to be
beaten by the weather.
The parade was magnificent one. There
were numerous handsome banners and flags
in line and nearly every council was accom-
panied by band. 1t WAS such parade as

amble to the objects of the order.
A Grand Entertainment Given.
A complimentary entertainment was
given tonight in Music Hall to an audience
of over 5000 people. Addresses were made
by several prominent members of the order.
Miss Lillian Burkhart recited several selec-
tions in her characteristic style. Mrs. Bair,
wife of National Representative Bair, of
Braddock, sang. National Councillor Bart
lett made a speech. National Councillor j.
W. McCleary, of the Daughters of Liberty,
was also among the speakers. His presence
here is significant, owing to the fact that an
effort is to be made to have his organization
officially recognized in some manner as an
auxiliary to the Jr. o. Z. A. NJ.
This move is intended to check the actions
of the board of officers of the National Coun-
Gil of the Daughters of Liberty, which has
been refusing charters to new councils all
over the country, ON the ground, it is
claimed that the organization is only at
tached to the Senior order. This matter is
likely to create trouble ut the next annual
session of the Daughters of Liberty. The
members here propose to set themselves in
q position TO secede from the Seniors if
the occasion arises and attach their entire
to the Juniors.

ment OF Washington City today, saying that
President Harrison had appointed him collector
OF the Puget sound customs district, vice Charles

ment spread like wildire throughout the city,
and Captain Wasson was the recipient of numer-
ous congratulations. Prominent Republicans
said that this appointment was abso-
iutely necessary TO insure continued

next year. Collector Bradshaw declined to be
interviewed, and said that the department had
not advised him of his removal Bradshaw
several days ago, however, received advices from
Washington City saying that ii was absolutely
certain that he would be removed from Office
The cause of removal was loose management Of
customs affairs and the collectors habits as an
inyeterate gambler, which, in addition to using
government moneys, caused a very unfavorable
report TO be made by the special treasury agents
who were detailed to investigate the district
Within the last few weeks the Office had been
much better managed. Collector Bradshaw had
notified four customs officers Of their dismissal,
to take effect October l, which order, however,
may be rescinded.
Captain Wasson is member of the lower

very wealthy. He came 10 this city several

GERTRUDE POTTER WEEDS AGAIN.
The Chicago Millionaire's Pretty Daugh-
ter Furnishes Another sensatlon.

ter Furnishes Another Sensation.
CHICAGO, Sept. le.--Another social sensation
to which Miss Gertrude w. Potter, daughter
of o. w. Potter, the millionaire president of the
Illinois Steel Company, is a party, developed
this afternoon. At the residence Of her par
cnts in the Virginia apartment house, today,
she was married to Julius Clark Daniels. of
New York City. The groom is "a son of GeOrg 0
III. Daniels, general passenger and ticket agent
of the New York Central road. The: bride and
groom left for the Fast this afternoon.
Following the announcement OF her secret
divorce from Z. l. Rust, the son of wealthy
citizen OF Eau Claire, Wis.,, only the other day,
comes today's wedding. An authorized statc-
Sent was made for the family this afternoon,
with hitherto unknown feature Of the affair.
The statement says:
On December 81, 1889, julius Clark Daniels
secured a license in Chicago under the name OF
Julius Clark, to marry Gertrude Whiting Potter,
under the name of Gertrude White. The couple
were married January, 1890, by Rev. j. A. John,
pastor of st. Paul's church, Chicago. The
parties continued to live at their respective
homes. subsequently Miss Potter submitted 10
legal counsel the question of the validity of her
marriage with Daniels, and was advised and be-
leved such marriage was invalid. They then IN
formed +. l.. Rust OF the ceremony performed
between herself and Daniels, and OF her subse-
Quent advice thereon. Thereupon, both parties
believing they had a right to do so, the cere-
mony of marriage was performed June last at
Lake Geneva, Wis, by Rev. NJ J. Ward.
Both ceremonies were secret and unknown TO
the parents of any OF the parties concerned. The
ceremony of June was first made known to the
parents By its publication some days ago, at
which time they were also informed OF the
previous ceremony with Daniels. The state
Inent then gives the details of the divorce suit
and the annulmento of the marriage with young
Rust few days ago by Judge Horton, and coa-
cludes as foilowsi
No actual necessity existed for any court de-
cree aunuling the marriage, which In fact was
void but the decree was secured for the reason
that the interests of all concerned made it
proper under the circumstances stated
The newly welded couple left today for the
