CUTHBERT, Ga, April 14.-One OF the
most romantic marriages ever known In
Cuthbert has just been brought to light.
Mayor X. l.. Moyo has for several months
been showing marked attention to Miss
Florence Powell, aud already Madam
Rumor had predicted an early marriage. AS
both parties are great fayorites with
the citizens of Cuthbert, their apparent
oourtship was watched with interest, and
all wished that II might culminate In a
happy marriage. Imagine the surprise of
the people when this morning it was an-
nounced that Col. Moye and his wife had
left on the night train for a Wedding tour.
A still greater surprise was in store when
IL was stated that they had been married
four moEthg.
Il appears that, Rev. @. w. Bull ofloiat-
ing at his own residence aud in the presence
Of only six persons. the happy pair was
united on Dec. 22 1892. Since that time the
marriage has been kept profound secret
until yesterday. As both parties sustained

Jury All About His Interview With
Redwine at Cora Towards.
ATLANTA, Ca, April 14.-New light was
thrown upon the Gate City Bank case to-
day by the finding of a second bill of in
wine by the United States grand jury. The
specific charge in this second indictment is
that Redwine .cashed u check for $500,
drawn by Tom Cobb Jackson. when he
knew that jackson did not have any money
on deposit in the bank at that time, and,
further, that after cashing this worthless
check he concealed that transaction by hid
ing the paper away in his
own private locker, and made no
record Of 1t upon the banks books
This check was drawn by Jackson while he
was in New York In July. 1891. At that
time the Atlanta and Florida deal was on
and Cobb jackson and McAlleu Marsh
were In New York trying TO engineer it
through. Other indictments are expected

Mr.. Rountree has heretofore been

Howsrd's house the night after the ex>

ference was in the nature of professional
consultation. To-day, however. when Mr.
Rountree was called he was confronted by
the grand jury with the statement that
Redw had sworn that this meeting at
Cora HowArds was in no way professional

WASHINGTON, April 14-There are some
indications Of the final adjournment of the

row. While no positive agreement to this
effect was reached In the executive session
this afternoon, there is tacit understand
ing that the business shall be cleared up and
an ndjournment taken II IL be within the
range Of possibilities. The democrats indi-
Gated in open session to-day aud reiterated
the fact in secret session that they would
not permit an Investigation of Mr.. Roach.
The republicans will, therefore, demand
the yeas and nays on the motion Of Mr..
Harris to lay the resolution and amendment
on the table-a motion he will renew to-
morrow. not being able to force an investi-
CATION even if there we're a quorum present.
The republicans see no good in remaining
here with less than quorum, and will con-
tent themselves with going on record in ac-
oordance with the policy they have pursued
since the Investigation was first proposed.
The committee to notify the President will
probably be appointed early tomorrow,
