entered the room. Miss Willing wore
a white satin dress, and from her head
flowed long veil or exquisite
old lace. The veil was sur
mounted and held in place by a
tiara of diamonds, shaped like fieur de
lis, the gift of the groom. Her other
ornaments we're diamonds, most of
which were the gifts of the Astor family
and of almost priceless value. Her
train was borne by two little pages, and
in her hand she carried an immense
bouquet of BRIDES roses and lilies of the
valley. The bridesmaids. who were
Miss Grace Wilson, Miss Ethel Cram
and Miss Beatrix Chapman, OF New
York, and Miss Mabel Ashurst, Miss
Cyntra Hutchinson and Miss Willing, a
cousin of the bride. wore pink faille
gowns. Immediately after the ceremony
wedding breakfast was given at which
only those who witnessed the marriage
ceremony were present. The breakfast
was most elaborate one, and, together
with the floral decorations, silver plate
and rare old china used, represented a
small fortune. Beginning at 9 o'clock
reception 10 which over 5000 invita-
tions were sent out was held. After
the reception the New York guests, who
came over to it on two special trains,
returned home at 4:50 p. m. Mr.. and
Mrs. Astor kept the direction of the
bridal trip secret, but it is understood
that they will leave tonight in a special
car for St. Augustine. On their return
they will make short stay in this city
and New York, and then sail for Eu-
rope, where they will spend the sum-

try would have looked just
as patriotic in one of our

you certainly would not dare
to cross the Delaware to-day

passed resolutions of respect and named
a committee to attend Gen. Sherman's

the board of aldermen also took action
to-day. The public Offices and buildings

Throughout the day there was con-

ton has oeen raised as to whether or
not Gen. Sherman can be buried in Cal

is authority for the statement that even
though the last rites Of the church were
not administered, his failure to receive
such rites would interfere in no way
with his interment in Calvary, only a
portion Of the cemetery being conse
Grated. That part of the burial ground
i'll which Mrs. Sherman was inferred

AFRAID OF THE MALTA.
Joseph GaZzolo Claims to Be Con
demned to Death.

CHICAGO, Feb. IA crowd of
Italians came to the office Of the chief of
police last night to ask for protection
for one of their number, Joseph Gaz-
zolo, who had, they said, been con-
demned to death by the Malta. Gazzolo
formerly kept fruit stand on Madison
street. Several months ago he was no
tilted by the proprietor of the property
that he must leave within "a certain
time. He then sold the stand to Gillio
Perditta. representing to the latter that
he had years lease. Perditta soon
found out the fraudulent nature of the
transaction.
Gazzolo has been absent from the city
for some time. Since his return week
ago he has received three mysterious
notices written in red. notifying hun
that he had been tried by the tribunal"
and unless he made amends for the
swindIe within a given time his life
would be taken. These missives were
signed Malta" Gazzolo is afraid to
stir out of the house unless accompanied
by half dozen friends, and wants the
Malta hunted down.

cemetery gate. The cavalry drew up In

saiuted, leaving only the battalion of
marines to accompany the remains to
the grave. When the old Lee mansion
was reached the marines filed around to
the left of the house and took up posi-

casket was being transferred from the

DRESSED BEEF RATES.
Joint Session OF the Trunk Line
and Central Traffic Association.

Joint Session OF the Trunk Line
and Central Traffic Association.
NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-The president
of the Trunk Line association and the
Central Traffic association were in joint
session all day to-day, discussing the
question of dressed beef rates from Chi
cago to the seaboard.
George M. Bogue and Henry Stone,
arbitrators, some time ago decided that
the Grand Trunk was entitled to diff
ferential rate of ~ cents per loo pounds
on dressed beef shipments to New Eng
land points by way of Montreal. The
Lake Shore refused to abide BY tl.is de-
cision and the meeting to-day was
called to reopen the question. The mat
tiers discussed were the rates Oh car
mileage, the rates per 100 pounds ON
dressed beef and the differential
rates. There seems to be no diff
ference of opinion on the lat
ter question, but the rates on
car mileage and rate per 100 pounds
have to be adjusted to make the differ
entail rate effective. The presidents
were unable to decide on the adjust
ment, and agreed to leave it to the ex-
ecutive committee of the Trunk line
and Central Traffic association, which
will meet again tomorrow. There is an
indication that the matter will be salts
factorily adjusted, as to-day's meeting
seemed to be harmonious, and the only
thing that kept the presidents from ar
irving at decision was the numerous
details which had to be dealt with.

Severe Fighting Reported in the

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Feb. IA
private letter from the Caroline islands
gives an recount Of further fighting be-
tween the natives and Spaniards, in
which the latter were worsted. Last
November the Spanish governor sent an
expedition consisting of three guHb0ats
and one transport against the village Of
Metalamei. The sailors and troops
landed, and after loss Of sixty men
made the natives retreat. The Span
iards we're reinforced, and six days later
attacked the natives. The latter were
behind a barricade, and were armed
with muskets and two small cannon.
The Spaniards were badly repulsed,
with loss of l20 men. 1t is expected
that general uprising OF the natives
will occur, and the governor has dis
patched ships to Manila for the troops.
