Francis Talbot Of Calvert county, who has
been i'll here for some time past, died at twenty
minutes past IL this morning.
Rev. J. W. Steele, chaplain Of the senate, re-
membered the dying senator and his family in

Der Of the Southern Methodist Church. It

Of Austria.
New YORK. Feb. 24.-The marriage Of Count
Rudolphe Festetis de Tolna of Austria and
Miss Ella Haggin, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis T. Haggin, was celebrated at
high noon today at the home Of
Notwithstanding the fact that this interesting
international wedding occurred in America
the customary civil marriage which q
number of European countries consider
de riguer was performed by Judge
Ingraham Of valifornia at 10 O'Clock
this morning. The Rev. DR.. Houghton Of the
Church of the TRANSPORTATION assisted by the
rector of the French Protestant Church, offici-
ated at the ceremony, which was solemnized in
the rear drawing room before the floral altar
beautifully decorated for the occasion.
A rare old tapestry, on the white ground OF
which is inwrought the Haggin coat-of-arms,
hung above the altar. and rich tapestry inter-
woven with the crest Of the Festetis de Tolna
was draped in front Of the altar piece. which
was covered with an exquisite altar cloth of
eastern lilies. Twenty candles burning in
costly old brass candelabra, which Mrs. Haggin
found among the ancient treasures of Europe,
gave almost brilliant effect to the charming
floral scene.
The groom and his best man, DR.. Henry L.
Tevis, followed by the witnesses to the mar
rage. Mr.. Theo. Havemeyer and Mr.. Macy.
secretary of the Austrian legation at Washing
ton, entered at the door opposite the altar
and came forward to meet the lovely
bride, who came with her father through the
front room door and passed up a ribbon
wrought aisle to the altar. She was preceded
by the four little men who acted as ushers, Ben
Ali Lounsberry and Ben Ali Haggin and Richard
Lounsberry and Louis Haggin, walking in the
order named.
The bride was followed by her pretty little
maid Of honor, V. Lounsberry, who looked like
q picture.
After the ceremony there was a wedding
breakfast, at which members Of the family and
intimate friends were present.
As Count Tolna is first lieutenant in the
eleventh hussars of the Austrian army and
may be ordered next for military duty, doubt
less he and his lovely bride will spend the
greater part of their time at Vienna. where the
count has an elegant home. Count Festetis
is a man Of wealth as well as nobility. His
pretty American bride has grace and accom-
plishments to carry with ease the requirements
Of her high position.

United States, said nothing that did not tend
to promote the good will Of the nations.
Mr.. Stephens urges that the proposed monu-

An Important Session Of the St Louis Con-
yention.
ST. LOUIS Feb. 24.-The most exciting and
important session Of the great national indus
trial conference was expected to take place to-
day. rough and tumble time of it from start
to finish seemed the only possible program.
A ''blue and the gray" mass meeting, into
which the convention resolved itself before
graphing with the platform. temporarily
poured oil on the troubled waters. Com
modore Van De WORT of Nebraska for
convention pledged President Polk for the old
confederate soldiers in attendance that they
would join hands to bury sectional hate, and
the treaty, il such it might be termed, was ratl-
fed in speeches by ex-senator Van Wyck OF
Nebraska and Ben Terrill of Texas.
THE COMMITTEE ON PLATFORM.
After perfecting the organization last even
ing of the committee on platform subcommit-
tees on finance, land. transportation. address
and miscellaneous subjects of the industrial
convention were appointed and a recess taken
until $50 to give them time to report.
On the reassembling of the full committee
the hearing Of reports was begun. The finance
subcommittee reported favoring the issue of
money directly from the United States treas
ury without the intervention Of banks. With
out much discussion the full committee agreed
to this. No mention was made Of the sub
treasury plan.
Messrs. Beverly and Butterworth Of Virginia
and South Carolina, respectively, threatened
to make Rome howl in the convention. The
address subcommittee report also gave
these gentlemen offense, as it omitted mention
of the subtreasury plan, though it
touched on all the principal points
supported by the new party. On the
transportation question there was no dispute,
the subcommittees report favoring govern
ment ownership OF telegraph, telephones and
railways being unanimous. The land question
as reported by the subcommittee is much the
same shape as left by the Ocala convention.
The point in which the most trouble was had
was the prohibition question.
