MILITARY NOTES.

The Stanley rifles did not hold much of
a meeting last night on account OF the
cold weather. Only few attended and
the meeting soon adjourned. This COM
paDy is doing very little work lately
There was no concert given at the mill
tary post last night en- account OF the
norther.
The present cold spell makes the
sports" at the military post feel good.
An ambulance of officers went out this
morning to Milchelfs lake on duck
hunt. Cold weather brings ducks, there
fore it makes the hunters jolly. especially
when mixed with little brandy.
The excitement over Cara has about
died out at Fort Sam Houston. The
people begin to think that all Of the cav
airy which is after him is not so likely
to be cleared out as was at first thought,
but they havn't caught him yet.
Several civilians say that the military
post Is of no use to San Antonio. There
they are mistaken. The officers
and men, and also all employees
at the post, combined, receive
over $4,000 a month as pay. At least
$4,000 of this is circulated in San Anto-
Mo each month. This alone is a great
help, Notwithstanding the beauty of the
post which attracts the attention of Wis

The evening was pleasantly spent,
They chatted until very late,
And when he finally departed,
She accompanied him to the gate.
A dozen good nights were exchanged,
perhaps some kisses too,)
He firmly grasped the fence railing,
And started a conversation anew.
The girls patience gave way,
As the hour was about one;
"Mr. Staylate" she remarked,
in sweet but firm tone;
"Why are some, like disappointed pas

Jones WIS also here, and as he had pre-
%viously been on terms Of intimacy with
Mrs. Mccormick, enjoyed her society
almost necessarily. He made the boast
yesterday that he would retire with
Mrs. Mccormick last night. A friend
of Mccormick heard of the boast and
sent word to the latter, who immedi-
ately came to the city, arriving yester-
day afternoon to look after his erring
spouse. He hid out until $50 when
he went to the room Of Mrs. McCor-
mick. He opened the door uncerc-
m%oniously. Jones, undressed, was "
ing on the bed and his wife he saw in
the room also undresscd. Without a
word Mccormick commenced shooting.
He only wounded Jones the first shot,
and commenced to curse. Jones reach
cd for his revolver and then both open
ed fire. Jones was shot three times
and Mccormick twice. Both died al
most instantly. Mrs. Mccormick man
aged to escape to an adjoining room,
where she was afterwards arrested.

An Annnlling Accident.

BORDEAUX, June l4.-Lying off the
hnrbor of Blayc, on the River Girondc,
was the British steamer Petrolia, which
had arrived June 18th from Philadel-
phia. To-day the usual routine work
was being performed on board when
suddenly there was q flash, a tremend-
Gus roar and the vessel was blown to
pieces. 1t was said that the disaster
was due to an explosion of gas that had
formed from the petroleum comprising
her cargo. Burning oil floating on the
water driftcd against several vessels ~
ing at anchor near by, set them On fire,
and some were burned to the waters
edge. The heat was so intense that it
dangerous for small boats
to approach near the Petrolia,
but some boatmen succeeded in
picking up sixteen of her rev The
survivors said there were twenty others
board the vessel when the explosion
occurred, but not a body was found and
it is believed that they persisted.
Further information shows that q
thunder storm was prevailing at the
time the explosion occurred, and that
the disaster was caused by lightning
striking the vessel.

There arc now three very serious Grey

from the mouth of Red river to Donald
son valley is rising and all attempts to
close the Belmont crevasse Navc been
abandoned. The opening is now two
hundred feet wide and thirteen feet
deep. The water from the break will
overflow many valuable plantations
and will eventually damage the Illinois

dar. For weeks past men, ONE and child
rem in all stages of disease and deformity have
congrcgatcd at Mount Troy, Allegheny, Pa,
anxiously awaiting the dawn of the day upon

was the the featnre of yesterdays ceremonies.
The ciiice exercises began with mass Mt six
o'clock. The chief ceremony was mt two O'Clock
in the afternoon, when Father Mollinger gave
his blessing to the afflicted. 1t is estimated
that 10000 were present. With great diff
cultv they were kept in line as they were
permitted to pass through the church, The
line filed in through the front door, up the
center aisle, past the images OF the patron
saints. and by the several statues depicting
events leading up to the crucifxion. Near
the altar rail stood Father Mollinger, who be-
slowed his blessing upon and sprinklcd with
holy water the devont pilgrims as they mo-
mcntarily knelt i'll front of him. The time

letters which have been received from
the White Fathers Mission in Uganda,
East Africa, repeat the charges made
against the Protestant forces i'll that
kingdom of moving down the Catho-
lies, including many women and child
rem, with a deadly rain of shot from the
mitrailleuse, with which they were sup
piled. The letters also say that after
tho Catholic army had three times re-
PEELED the desperate attacks made on
their ranks, the survivors were at
length driven toward Victoria Nyanza.
SO hard pressed were the routed forces
of the Catholics that they were actually
forced into the great lakes, and from
five hundred to six hundred of the poor
people were drowned miserably, like a
herd Of animals. The letters add that
Major Kuehye saved the lives of Bish-
op Hirth and King Mwanga, who led
the Catholics, by his timely arrival at
the scene of carnage and his display Of
the German flag.

welded in a Graveyard.

Six carriages drove into Greenmount
Cemetery, Baltimore, yesterday morn
ing at ten o'clock.
It was not a funeral party, as one
would be privileged 10 judge, but a
glance at the occupants, with their hap
| py and merry faces, bctokened some
thing entirely different.
Strange as it may seem, it was moth
ing better nor worse than a bridal
party. Two hearts were going to be
made one, and hear and receive the
blessing Of the minister on the graves
of the parents of one Of those who We're
| plighting their troth.
The choice of a graveyard tor the
performance of q marriage ceremony
was due to the sentiment of the happy
bride and her devotion to the memory
of her parents, who for two decades
have lain buried in Greenmount. The
groom was Col. Hendric von Stamp, OF
Washington, and the bride, Miss Mil
dred Hammond, daughter of the late
Gen. Howard Hammond.
The party proceeded to the Ham
mond burial lot, near the spring in the
cemetery, and there, the bride standing
upon the grave of her mother, and the
groom standing upon the grave of the
brides father, with hands clasprd. Rev.
A. F. Sterger, pastor ofGeasofH NIFTY
Church, Trinity street near niGE;@ pro-
nounced them man and wife. The lot
was handsomely decorated with flow
ers.
The bride is of one of Maryland's old
est families, being a remote descendant
of President George Washington.
The party Immediately after the mar
riage ceremony proceeded to the Hotel
Rennert, where n reception Was held
and dinner was served. At p. m, the
happy couple went to Washington,
from which place they will 90 on u two
months cruise in the groom's yacht, the
Mildred, the yacht being named after
the bride. The groom is AZ years OF
age, and the bride about 40. The bride
has lived for years on Charles street ex-
tended. The affair vas conducted with
such secrecy that even the witnesses,
nor any of the bridal party, except the
bride, the groom and Rev. DR.. Stcrger,
knew where the ceremony was TO be
performed until after their carriages
had passed through the portals OF
Greenmount. and were standing beside
the Hammond lot. The uniqueness OF
the whole situation was too much for
those employed in the cemetery, and
they were all attracted to the spot, and
gazed upon the strange spectacle with
wondering eyes.

Col. JOHN S. MosBY, the famous
confederate cavalry officer, arrived yes
terday morning from Ell Paso. He is
stopping at the Hotel Iturbide and will
remain in the city several days. Col.
Mosby visited yesterday morning the
American Legation and Consulate Cen
eral and also called at the Office Of The
Tioo Republics. He is a handsome gen.
tleman of 80 years, till and straight
and well-preserved. During Grants
administration he was for several years
United States Consul in China and
since that time he has made his home
in San Francisco. He is in Mexico
purely on a pleasure trip, this being his
first visit here. Col. Mosby commented
on the news of Mr.. Blainc's resigna-
ton, which appeared in Sundays paper,
and said that he believed MI. Blaine
would be nominated at Minneapolis to-
morrow and elected. Being a republi-
can, the Colonclis a protectionist; but he
said yesterday laughingly, after his ex-
%pericnce in getting his baggage from
the depot, that he was only a protec-
zionist in the United States and was in
favor of free trade in Mexico.-Thc 1tco
