At 2 o'clock in the afternoon on Thursday, Sept. 22nd, Miss Sadie G. Walton and Mir Horace Landon were united in marriage, by the Rev MT George of Salisbury, at the residence of the brides father, MT W. H. Walton, near Lime Rock, Conn.
 Promptly at the hour appointed the wedding march was. started by Miss Jane Jackson. The ushers, Messrs Nelson Jackson of Millerton, N. Y, and John w. Ensign of Huntington, W. Va, separated those present by forming an aisle with two pure white ribbons. I'm mediately after the ushers came the two little girl attendants, Misses Fannie l.. Jackson and Anna O. Ensign, who as they passed along covered the path way with flowers, for the bride and groom who followed, and as the parlor was reached stopped bt fore beautiful arch of autumn leaves and golden rod, where the Episcopal marriage service was read by the Rev MT George, making them man and wife.
 Congratulations and best wishes fol. lowed from all. The wedding lunch was then served by caterer from New Haven, who deserved great praise fol the quiet and elegant manner in which he carried it through.
 Immediately after the refreshments the bride and groom started on a drive throughout the country.
 The presents from their numerous friends were both elegant and valuable. The house was beautifully decorated with flowers, autumn leaves and vines and was filled with relatives and friends | of both families.
 Those present from distance were MT and Mrs Henry Gay, Dr and Mrs E. l.. Pratt, West Winsted, Conn.,; MT and Mrs W. A. Washburne, New York. N Y; MT and Mrs B. Ensign, Miss Anns c. Ensign, John w. Ensign, Hunting ton, W. Va; Miss Allie Cotter, Ansonia Conn,

The Transportation of Explosive,

The Transportation of Explosives.
 One lesson to be learned from the re- cent explosion of 15, 900 pounds of dyn- amite in one car on a regular freight tram is that if railroad companies are to transport this highly explosive and therefore dangerous compound it must be done with the greatest care and after the adoption of every means to avoid an explosion. If it cannot be carried with ont its exploding then it ought not to be carried at all.
 The Legislature cannot do better than to devote some of it's time this winter to au investigation of this matter of trans porting explosives. It should be ascer- tained, in the first place, whether rail- road companies should be allowed to carry it under any circumstances. But if the Legislature should reach the con- clusion that dynamite may be transport ed on the cars, then law should be en- acted requiring the adoption of every precaution against an explosion. The law should require a car especially adapted for the purpose, and should limit the amount to be loaded onto one car, should prohibit the transportation by rail of the very highly explosive grades and should forbid the carrying of 1t on trains in which it will be sub iected to the usual banging around and concussions incidental to switching 1T the yards.
 If the obvious lesson of this explosion is learned it will have been at a very moderate expense.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

Last Saturday evening, between six and seven o'clock, the house of John Ryan. south of this village, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. MT Ryan and his wife, who were the only ones in the house at the time, were about to sit down to supper and Mir Ryan was just in the act of drawing his chair up to the table when the thunder bolt struck the honse. He and his wife were at first prostrated by the shock and Mir Ryan received slight bruise across the nose as he fell. He says that he noticed peculiar and very disagreeable odor prevailing the house. It was un- like any he had ever smelt before; we suspect it was similar to the fragrance which is supposed to eminate from the person of his Satanic Majesty. Almost immediately after the flash the house was in blaze. In very short time a large number of the neighbors were on the spot and, as usual on these occasions, took hold with will and soon carried nearly all the household furniture, the stoves and the cabinet organ out of the house and placed them in the house of Mrs Harlow Root across the road. The bed-clothing and clothes were upstairs and these were mostly destroyed. The barn was saved. being wet from the tre- mendous downpour of rain and the water which the men and boys threw over it. The Ryans have found tenn porary shelter in Mrs Roots house The amount of the insurance iu the Litchfeld Mutual is s1, ,OOO The house was perhaps 50 years old. built with very heavy timbers and planked up on sides, so it was over an bour before the | walls came down. The immense chim- ney remained apparently uninjured and did not fall until about one o'clock Sunday afternoon. The burning house presented grand spectacle and it was witnessed by great crowd.

ton of the public continuously indulge
in much talk. Rather than have their
government acknowledge its fault Or
apologize for its utteranceS, these young
patriots declare that they would prefer
to see resort TO arms. Such talk as
this, it is believed, reflects the opinion
of large element of the common
people.
The naval officers are reported to be
much stirred up at the thought that they
may be called upon to salute the stars
and stripes. They go SO far as to say.
according to the reports published in to-
days papers, that they would see the
CHILEAN fleet sunk before they would sa-
lutte the American flag.
Whatever the government may say
officially in withdrawing the offensive
note of Senior Malta Of Dec. II, there
are abundant indications that Senior
Matta's popularity will not in any
way be decreased because of his
authorship of that now famous dis
patch. Instead it looks very much as
though this was the most popular
act Of his administration of the depart
ment of foreign affairs. While the
cabinet has been celebrating upon the
precise form of language in which to
apologize to the United States for Senior
Matta'S diseourteous and undiplomatic
performance, preparations have been
actively going on by a committee OF
leading citizens to honor Senior Malta
with a grand and imposing banquet.
This will take place next Saturday and
promises to be brilliant affair.

BLovIATING FOR BALMACEDA
Why One ofCapt. Schley's Officers
Was Susnended

Why One ofCapt. Schley's Officers
Was Suspended.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 27.-The Herald of
this city will publish the following to-
morrow: During the time of the cruiser
Baltimore was lying in the harbor of
Valporaiso the chief executive officer
of the cruiser was in the habit of send
ing daily press dispatches to a New
York newspaper. These dispatches
gave the news of the doings in Chilli and
were uniformly in praise of the BaIma-
ceda government and predicting its ulti-
mate victory over the Independent
party.
By some manner Capt. Schley was
made acquainted with the fact that his
executive officer was the paid CORE
spOndent of a New York newspaper,
whereupon he confronted that individ-
ual and laid before him the informa-
ton, asking for denial or the admis-
sion of the unwise act. The officer
pleaded guilty. Commander Schley
then suspended him for ten days and
ordered him to his quarters.
After the lapse of the suspension the
officer was released and reinstated in
his rank as executive officer. Com
mander Schley has been summoned
from San Francisco to appear before the
secretary of the navy ia relation to the
matter. 1t is well known that the in
structionS of Commander Schley to his
officers and men have been to the sole
effect that at no time, either by speech
or act, should they give any expression
for the Balmacedists or independents
while in Chill.

Eleven Bowling Clubs Will

BoWlers Agree Upon Rules
and Other Matters Of
Detail.
an
Curriers' Preparing for the
Forthcoming Champion
ship Bonspiel.
Match Games Played on Rasp-
berry Island Last
Evening.

Instead of eight, as first supposed,
there will be ten teams to contest hon.
ors for the elegant GLOBE amateur
bowling trophy.
A meeting of representatives of the
different teams was held at the Central
bowling alley last night for the pur-
pose of agreeing upon rules. TO the
surprise of the GLOBE every bowler
present opposed the credits of strikes
and spares. They prefer the more
rugged game and refuse many of them
Ito enter unless the rule be adopted by
the GLoBEi making thirty balls game,
with no spare balls whatever. This
condition has finally been accepted.
Resolutions were also adopted. re-
queSting the GLOBE to so amend
its rules that it is not a
foul to cross the dead line
after the ball has been fairly delivered
with one hand. The reason for this is
palpable. The bowler may be large,
heavy man, and, taking running start,
may slide over the line. 1t was agreed
that this is not foul, so long as it is
clear that the ball had been delivered
before the line had been crossed.
Considerable discussion enSued cover
the choice of alleys OH which the tour
ney shall be bowled. The majority of
of the club representatives present
were in favor Of the Amort alleys; but
the GLOBE has received the entries of
three clubs at least that insist on play
ing portion of their games on Foley's
alleys, and Foley has agreed to place
the alleys in apple pie order, to,buy new
pins that shall only be used in the
tourney, and he will also have new
balls turned expressly for the purpose
by the best factory in the country. A
compromise is likely.
The entries up to the present time are
the Enterprise, the University avenue,
the st. Paul Kegel, the Capitol, the
Seven Corners. the North Light, the
Nushka, the Americas, the Press club,
and another club that has not been
named. 1t is probable that the North
Star club will enter a team also, max
ing eleven clubs in all.
There was rumor last evening that a
Minneapolis club will challenge the
winner, but the GLOBE emblem is con-
fined to st. Paul clubs entirely. How
ever, it is certain that the winner will
be called upon straightway to defend
it, as it is open to two challenges after
the first victory before it becomes the
permanent property of the club, and
some of the defeated aggregationS will
not rest easily until they have made
another test of strength.
