The Rev. Alexis Irenee Dupont Cole.
man, son of Bishop Leighton Coleman,
and rector of st. Michael's Church
Wilmington, and Miss Mary Zane,
daughter of the late Barzilla Zane, were
married in St. Michael's Church, Men
day morning. The ceremony was per-
formed by Bishop Coleman assisted by
the Rev. Charles e. Murray, rector of
st. Andrews. At 7.30 o'clock in the
morning nuptial mass had been cele-
brated, the bride and groom and i'm
mediate relatives being present. The
celebrant was the Rev. p. A. II. Brown
of st. Johns Chapel, Trinity parish,
New York.
The Wilmington Republican, in
speaking of Chancellor WOlcOtts decis-
ion in the Abele case, brought before
the court last week says: This is the
first time in long series of years that
a decision has been given in favor of
the Republicans by Democratic Chan
cellor. There always seemed to be
some way of turning things around,
and twisting them about to get a de.
cision unfavOrable to the Republican
party. But Chancellor WOlcott went
right straight at the matter, and decid-
ed the case before him according to
its merits. OF course this is as itshOuld
be, but it was more than the Repub-
licans expected.
The DeIGUdredn thinks that there is
some parallelism between the free coin
age of silver and the blessings of a
good peach crop. The argument is
that it is the duty of the government to
keep up the value of silver so that the
owners of silver mines may have the
wherewithal to do as the peach growers
do after a prosperous season-pay their
debts, buy new machinery, &c. Where
upon the EUery EUeHing remarks: 1t is
Il great scheme. How would it do to
extend the blessings of the Sherman
act to the peach growers-require the
national government to buy, say, four
million baskets of peaches every month
during the season at a price not ex-
ceeding $1.29 per basket, and turn the
Treasury Department into a huge cold
storage warehouse and peach evapora-
tor?
COLLECTOR TowNsEND's MOVE
OOiiCOtOi 0COlSO II. 1OWuSCuu has
made a most important discovery in re-
gard to the fact that the Pennsylvania
customs district has been for years, in
a sly, quiet way, apprOpriatng to it.
self, the credit and advantage of some
100000 or so of clearances' tonnage that
properly belongs to the district of Della
ware.
The facts are that the big new
wharves close to Linwood where the
oil refinery tanks are located over 100
feet within the Delaware line. There
fore all vessels clearing from that point
should properly get their clearance
papers from the custom house in Will
mington. All along the Chester deputy
collector has been attending to this
business on account of the Philadel-
phia collector. 1t looks like a clear
appropriation Of what belongs to Della
ware. 1t is understood that at least
one hundred large ships or barks,
averaging 1000 tons, leave the wharves
annually.

Lewis Baker has been heard from Of
fcially. Secretary Gresham to-day re-

ignorant of the fact that the
United States steamer Alliance is has.
tening to that point on the west coast,
and is expected TO arrive there Wednes-
day. He further says that the war be-
tween the government and the revolu-
tlonists will probably become bitter. as
the revolutionists are aggressive and
powerful. No news has reached the
State Department indicating that
Americad residents OF Nicaragua are
being treated with harshness, as was

suggestion OF United States Consul

While officials os neither navy nor

by the United States consul that there

Secretary Gresham to-day said that

AGAINST SUNDAY CLOSING.

From Closing the Fair on Sunday.

Judge Stein Grants an injunction he
straining the Worlds Fair Directory
From Closing the Fair on Sunday.
Chicago. May 29.-Judge Stein to-day
issued a temporary injunction restraining
the Exposition Directory from closing the
Worlds Fair on Sunday.
The decision was made in accordance
with the prayer of bill died some weeks
ago bv Charles w. Klingmsn, Of Chicago,
in behalf of himself as a stockholder IN the
Exposition Company aud IS citizen. Tne
proceedings were ia the State Courts ana
were entirely distinct from the more re-
cent case in the Federal Courts 10 wnlcn
the United States government is party.
Judge Stein held that Congress nao maue
no law compelling Sunday closing.
The Judge said the main points on Whlcu
to decide the case were the Federal law In
volved. its moral aspects, and the State
law. In going over the Federal law Judge
Stein found that in the. act OF Congress
creating the exposition it was expressly
provided that no rule or regulation con-
flicting with the State law OF illinois snouI1
no - creed. Under this law the whole OF
Jsc-son Rark would be thrown open 10 the
nnhIjc on all days of the week. Later; on
Hctober 10 1893, She appropriation tnen
made bv Congress 6S9vided for Sunday
closing. The condition WIS acce.eeu oy
the commissioners and directors. In.2
constituted q legal contract, and thus tar
well and good-the gates could be kept
closed legally. >.
However. the court went on, while IL
takes two TO make q contract 1t takes Two
also to break il. He said that while 1t had
been shown that Congress had Withdrawn
from its agreement by withholding part
OF the appropriation, nothing to show tnat
the Fair authorities had accepted the adol-
tional condition, had been given in eyl-
dence. This, be said, left the matter IN
the hands of the Fair authorities.
Touching the moral idea, the petitioner,
Chas Howard, who asked for an order LOT
Sunday closing, the court said thatl couid
not consistently grant the petition asked
Howard had taken the position that TINS
was a Christian government and Christian
itv was a part of the law Of the country.
"This is clearly not So" said tpe Court
"The position is clearly untenaole IN a
country of religious freedom"
As TO violation of the State law, IL was
held that though the interviewer had held
that there was interruption OF the puollc
Besce, he had not proven the charge. The
Judge then summed up by saying that see
ing no valid reason, moral, legal, or other-
wise for withholding the temporary In
junction he would issue the restraining
order Bond was fixed at $1,000.
Immediately after the reading OF the de-
cision. Edward Walker gave notice that
the defendants would fle their answer IN
the course Of ten days, after which argu-
ments will be heard and final decision
rendered later.

incident to the arrival Of Jefferson Davis

The funeral train arrived at 4:30. Two
thousand Confederate veterans marched

flag was borne aloft by one OF them.
A striking feature Of the procession, and
one which every one noticed with 1eenng
of qualification, as it itemphaslzed the decia-

was the presence Of number
of the Grand Army men who had turned

A VERY POOR FIGHT.
Slavin Only Lasted Seven hounos' IN"
Not One of Them Was in the Least E1-
citing.


LONDON, May 29.-Jim Hall met
Frank Slavin at the National Sporting
Club tonight. for $1,000 a side ana q
purse of ss, 500, and knocked him out In
the seventh round. The fight was q
disappointment to the spectators.
Slayin was the favorite in the betting
up to the opening Of the first round,
but from the beginning he made poor
showing. He was completely outsen-
eraled at every point by Hall, and was
unable to offer even enough resistance
to make the contest exciting. When
time was called Slavin's face wore
peculiar dazed expression. He lurched
heavily twice as he left his cor
ner and was generally unsteady In
his gait. After sparring for a few sec
onds he walked directly up to Hall and
was received with q staggering right
handler which almost foored him.
Throughout the round he never closed
his glove, and when time was called
went to his corner amid the kissing and
groaning OF the spectators.
In the second round he showed no I'M
provement. He lurched about stupidity,
giving Hall several chances to hit him
as he pleased. Hall did not take ad-
vantage of his opportunities, and the
round closed without any heavy work
on either side.
The third round opened with some
light sparring. In the middle OF the
round Hall landed both right and left
on his opponents head, then gave him
stinger on the jaw and stood away.
The men then fooled about the ring,
missing repeatedly when they came to
close quarters. At the end OF the round
the referee warned them that II they
did not fight there would be no purse.
The warning had little effect.
The fourth round was scramoling
one. Not single telling blow was
struck and the footing of the previous
round was repeated until the spectators
hissed aud jeered.
The fifth round was somewhat better.
1t ended with Slsvins going down from
a right-hander on the jay.
Nothing was accoG ishcd by either
ofxhe men in the sixth round.
Tn. ssyepth round had hardly opened
before Hall flooFed Slavin with his left.
Slavin was soon up. but hearing some
body call time, he turned towards his
corner. Hall instantly shot 0at-h MS
right. The blow landed squareiy on
Slavln's jaw, and sent him down for
good.
The spectators hooted Slavin as he
was carried to his corner.
Disappointment and dissatisfaction
are generally expressed. Slavin was
seconded by Jack Start and Jim Bevan.
and was also attended by his brother
Jack. Charles Mitchell and Blakelock,
ex.champion lightweight, seconded
Hall. PaSer umpired for Slavin and
Lord Lonsdale for Hall.
