An EIectric wedding.

BALTIMORE, March AT a wedding
here last night no sooner had the company
been comfortably seated than the room
burst into a food of light from numerous
~varicolored i~ncandescent electric lamps
hidden among the decorations. The en-
trance of the bride and bridegroom was
welcomed by the automatic ringing of
electric bells and the playing of electrical
musical instruments. After the first
course the room was plunged into semi
darkness, when suddenly from the floral
decorations upon the table there glowed
tiny electric lamps. Not only the flowers.
but the interior OF the translucent vases
In which some OF them were gathered
scintiilated with flashes of light.
After a while a miniature electric lamp,
which in some unexplained manner had
attached itself to the brides hair, was
seen to glow with dazzling brightness. A
toast having been given two serpents
slowly uncoiled themselves and issued
from the wine bottle that stood before the
bridal couple. Cigars and coffee were
served, and the cigars were lighted by an
electrical lighter. while the coffee was pre-
pared IN full view Of the company By an
electrical heater. The speeches. that were
made we're literally apDlauded by an cleo
trical kettle drum placed under the table.
As the company dispersed the electric cur

Want sitting Bulls cabin.

BISMARCK. March Two SPECTATORS
are in conference with Sitting Bulls two
widows at Standing Rock. regarding the
transfer OF his cabin to the worlds fair.
They are glad TO get rid of the house, be-
'ieving it is haunted by his ghost. but pos
sessing the inherited sagaclty and cunning
of the Indian, they are well aware Of its
commercial value, and wont let it go uu-
less a pretty fancy price is paid. which
they will certainly get. In the meantime
the indians will remove a mile away from
its present site, as they believe it is un-
canDy.
Yesterday, One Bull, nephew of Sitting
Bull, related an incident that happened
the day before old Bull was slaughtered.
He SAID that on that day Sitting Bull
climbed to the top Of one OF the highest
adjacent buttes, where he fell asleep and
dreamed Of the startling events to occur
next day. He came down and Informed
his people that their great medicine man
would be killed on the morrow.

BERLIN, March BY his personal iu-
iuence the emperor succeeded in prevent
ing a defeat in the reichstag ofthe govern
ment on the proposed addition to the
navy, but this Las only been done by lu-
duciug some Of the members to abstain
from voting. The DEBATE on the subject
disclosed the fact that both the Centre and
Freisinnige parties were strongly opposed
to c~onceding the amounts required for the
construction OF two or three gunboats,
one ironclad, and one dispatch boat The
question. though not OF striking import.
became one OF serious moment for the
government when the two parties combined
to oppose the increase of the navy on gen
eral principles. TodaY's division in the
reichstlg gave the government l2I against
II. The constitution requiring that one
half of the members must vote. and there
being one short OF that number. voting on
the question will be resumed Monday.
Since the committee of the house heard
Admiral Holman frank disclosures OF
tie admiralty projects to raise Germany
to the rank OF a great naval power, the
reichstag has been thoroughly alarmed
aud Il has been difficult TO persuade that
body TO concede even reasonable demands.
Ii was painful to hear Chancellor Won
Caprivi, Yesterday evening, plead the
necessity for two more gunboats to guard
the approaches to the Baltic canal. DR..
WindthoTst. Centrist leader, contended
that the canal would not be completed
before 1898 and that the building and
equipping of gunboats could well wait.
Chancellor Won Caprivi asserted that the
canal would be opened in 1895 and held that
Germany ought to have vessels ready to
protect it, as it could not be protected by
land Notifications alone.
The action of the house clearly declares
that national opinion is adverse to any
attempt to make Germany a great naval
power and that any contest with a foreign
mower must he fought out on the land.
Emperor William is very much dis
concerted over the defeat Of his cherished
idea of a grand navy. His majesty lays
the blame for defeat upon the indiscrctjon
Of Admiral HOLMAN ia making the dis
closures and the chancellor's want Of
parliamentary tact, Admiral Holman

understood to be critical. The emperor
has openly taken Waldqrsee into favor.
but it is improbable that he will succeed
Caprlvi.
The emperor. it is believed. contem
plates a stronger foreign policy, together
with a return to the rigorous system of
socialist repression practiced by Bismarck.
Signs OF the readoption of the princes
method of government has given rise to
reports that the emperor has opened
communications with the ex-chancellor.
The ministerial reaction against the liberal
principles in dealing with the labor dues
ton is undoubtedly a tact.
The ~Peichsdnzerger, in d~cnouncing the
demand of the miners in the government
pits, warns the men that if the strikes are
resumed they will be vigorously repressed.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March Tt is geuer-
ally believed at Atlanta. Ga, that the
Rev. j. G. Armstrong, who recently died
in that city, vas j. Wilkes Booth. Two
old and well-iniormed citizens of the
Georgia capital are stopping at the Grand
Pacific, and they declare that the people
OF Atlanta will not believe otherwise than
that the late pastor was the assassin of
President Lincoln.
Armstrong resemblance to j. Wilkes
Booth was remarkable" said one of the
Atlanta men Yesterday. when he was
alive the people of Atlanta discussed the
suspicion about the man. The last time
Edwin Booth visited Atlanta be, with the
leading members OF his company stopped
at the Kimball house. All one day Mr..
Armstrong is known to have been clOseted
in a room at the hotel with the actor,
aud, during the weeks engagement of the
company, made frequent visits to Mr..
Booths apartments.
Efforts were made to learn the mans
pas, history, but they were futile beyond

MONACO, March 7.-Startling develop
ments have arisen IN the case OF the En-
glish physician, DR.. Lindemann of Man
chester, who was found dead last Decem-
Der in a ravine at San Reno. 1t was
supposed at the time that the death had
occurred from accident or that it was a
case of suicide. The police, however,
were not entirely satisfied with this view
of the case, and, as a result of their con-
tinuous work in unraveling the mystery,
two important arrests were made last
night. The prisoners are a man and a
u and, if the charge against them
al be substautiated. the tragedy bids
fair to take rank with the Eyraud- Gouffe
atrocity In Paris. 1t Is alleged that the
woman lured the doctor to her lodgings
and that while he was there he was over
powered by the man and woman, robbed
and murdered. The body WAS then con
veved to the r%avine. where it was subse-
quently discovered. As yet the full de
tails of the affair have not been made
public, but there seems little doubt that
the guilty parties are the ones in custody
and that the facts above outlined are sub
stantial.

ATLANTA, Ga, March THE Con-
stttution tomorrow will print a review of
the farming situation throughout the
South based upon the declaration of the
commissioner of agriculture that the
prospect has not been so bad in forty
years. From South Carolina, Alabama
and Mississippi the reports are that farm
work is fully one month behind aud with
the most favorable prospects the record of
last year could not be attained. The con-
sensus of opinion is that the delay in
farm work will cut off the cotton yield by
at least half a million bales. Other crops
are likewise backward.
