Several pugilists of Pittsburgh came
to see the fight, among them the colored
fellow called "Othello." Jim Mccoy, OF
Nick Keesport, who stood up to Sullivan
one round and to Peter Maher two,
was the brightest star OF the Pittsburgh
galaxy, which included a score or 30 oil

having money to bet.

strange complication Of marital rela-
tions has been ultimately adjusted, The
sequel to the trouble between Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles MacAlister, which COM
menced at Bar Harbor last summer was
furnished yesterday afternoon by the
New Jersey court OF appeals, which
granted a divorce between Mr.. Mac.
Alister and his wife, and was ended last
night by the marriage in Baltimore OF
Mr.. MacAlister to Miss Olive Wilkinson,
OF that city, and the marriage in Paris,
almost at thu same hour OF Mrs. Mac
Alister and Mr. Walter Wilkinson, the
latter brother OF Mr.. MacAlisters new
wife.
Last summer Mr.. and Mrs. MacAlister
went to Bar Harbor, where they met
the Wilkinsons, and where Mr.. MacAl-
lister Immediately became attentive to
Miss Wilkinson. Mrs. MacAlister, to
pay her husband of in his own coin,
received the attentions OF Mr.. Wilkin-
son, with the result that the MacAlis'
ters agreed TO disagree.
Mrs. MacAlister was formerly Miss
Alice Gardiner, OF New York, and is q
beautiful woman. Miss Olive Wilkin-
son is very young, having only been
introduced to Baltimore society about
two years ago. She is daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs Walter Wilkinson, who have
one oil the hnndsomest houses in Balti-
more at No. 1904 North Charles street.
Mr.. Wilkinson is member OF all the
prominent Baltimore clubs, and the
family is almost as we'll known in New
York and this city as at their home.
Mr.. Walter Wilkinson has led more
cotillions than any Young man in Balti-
more. His sister, now Mrs. MacAlis-
ter, is tall, n blonde and one OF the Bal
timore beauties. Directly after the de-
cree OF divorce was granted yesterday,
newd was at once sent by cable to Mrs.
MacAlister, who was in Paris. Upon
the receipt Of the news Mrs. MacAlister
and Mr.. Wilkinson were married at the
Hotel Continental. Mr.. Wilkinson inn
mediately sent cablegram from Paris
to his mother in Baltimore, which
reached there last night, shortly before
8 o'clock, aud the marriage between
Miss Wilkinson and MIR. MacAlister was
Immediately arranged for. The cere-
mony took place last evening at IL
o'clock, the>eouple being married by the
rector OF Grace Episcopal church, Rev.

For early proceedings see Sixth Page.l
WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct 12.-Mr.
Voorhees, is taking advantage of every
opportunity offered to secure rest, so as
to conserve his powers as much as pos
sible. There has been some comment
upon the fact that he was absent at two
or three roll calls last night, and twas
asserted that he had made an agree
ment with the silver men not to at
tempt to reach vote during the night.
With Mr.. Allen constantly on the floor,
there would have been no chance to get
a vote if he had been present all the
time. 1t also appears that the attend
ants at the senator's room, when they
found him there, mufFled the call bell,
and thus prevented his being disturbed.
At noon there was no perceptiole
change in the senate.
Martin still had the floor, and OF the
AZ senators who responded to the call
at half past II, but eight were present.
When n quorum was secured MIR.
Harris, OF Tennessee, moved that the
order made after a prior roll call direct
ing the sergeant-at-nrms to request the
attendance OF senators be resCinded.
The presiding officer, (Mr, Faulkner,
OF West Virginia, being in the chalrT)
in putting the question, inadvertently
referred to Mr.. Harris as the senator
from Massachusetts"

Mr.. Martin then resumed his speech,
directing himself to critical analysis
OF the Democratic platform on the tinan-
cial question.
There was another call OF the senate
at ten minutes to o'clock and, forty
four senators responding, Mr.. Martin
resumed his speech. After the lapse Of
exactly thirty minutes Mr.. Power (Re-
publican, OF Montana,) rose aud, ap-
parently tired OF suggesting the absence
OF quorum, simply said, "CalI the

Instituted on Earth.

Instituted on Earth.
New YoRK, Oct. 12.-There was not
an inch OF space to spare in the large
and brilliantly lighted hall OF the Grand
Central Palace tonight. The hall has
seating capacity OF 5000, and fully
1000 crowded the aisles and PASSAGE
ways. The occasion OF this throng was
the jubilee of the Independent Order OF
Benai-B' Rith.
The order is q benevolent and was
founded by Henry Jones and DR.. Morris
Meyer fifty years ago. Chairman Morris
Goodhart explained in few words the
reason OF this meeting in jubilee and
said he hoped they would always con-
tinue IN brotherly love and harmony.
Judus Beain, on being introduced, said
that the order OF Benai-B'Rith had
grown to be a mighty power for good,
and paid glowing tribute to its tound-
er, Henry Jones.
Mr.. Simon Wolf, of Washington, who
was at one time consul general to Egypt,
was the next speaker. Among other
things he said that the order OF Benai-
b Rith served to instill hope, ideas into
its brethren and served to disseminate
philantrophy and civilization.
Civil Justice II. NJ. Goldfogle was
the last speaker. and he went into de-
tails and described the workings OF the
order and the benefits accruing from it
to its members.
"Fifty years ago." said he, "when the
number OF Jews in this country was
very small, Henry Jones and his COM
panions founded this noble organiza-
ton. Now it has grown into the
thousands, and upwards of three
hundred and fifty lodges established
in Europe, Asia, Africa and America,
were working harmoniously together.
The Jew here and elsewhere was the
peer OF any man throughout tho globe.
The society was more than benevolent
one, and it had served to raise the Jews
to the high level which they occupy to-
dny."

ing firms in the state, have suspended.
The former house was founded by Ben
jatnin Jackson and George Butts.
Dwight, Brown & Co. succeeded Jack
son & Butts, and they were succeeded
by the present firm. They have in the
past negotiated heavily in municipal
bonds, among others those OF the cities
of Providence and Boston and many
western cities. They have also handled
heavily railroad bonds, it being through
this house the recent big deal in the
stock Of the Union Railroad Company
was made, whereby the Metropolitan
Traction Company obtained control Of
that company.
The present members Of the firm are
Senator Joshua R. Wilbour, OF Bristol,
chairman Of the finance committee OF
the legislature, and B. s. Jackson, 1t
was through Senator Wilbours endeav-
ors that the twenty year franchise act
was worked through the legislature.
The house did an immense business
both local and foreign. The house OF
Sheldon and Binney has been in exis-
tence about seven years.
The firm consists OF Charles H. Shell
don, jr., and William Binney, jr., and
both members of this firm were at one
time the junior members OF the firm Of
Wilbur, Jackson & Co., from which
house they withdrew and started bank
ing and brokerage headquarters. Both
houses, it is stated, backed the street
railroad companies of Denver heavily.
No statement has yet been given out
by either house, but they expect to be
able to resume business in short time.

appeared as to make his statement
practically true. He also said that
these statements were mainly repetl-
tions OF statements made before the COM
mittee in 1890, and he saw no reason
why there should be practically a re-
publication. Tho Republican members
OF the ways and means committee in
sisted upon an increased number oi
copies to at least 5000.
Mr.. Richardson demanded the pre-
vious question, which was ordered

was agreed TO without division.
The fight in the morning hour came
up on the bill to protect forest reserva-
tions, reported from the committee on
public lands. When the house went
into the committee, the bill was rather
viciously attacked by Herman, OF Ore.
gon; Simpson, OF Kansas; Doolittle, OF
Washington, and Rawlins, Of Utah.
Chairmon McRae, of the public lands
committee, replied, and supported the
terms OF the bill with great vigor. Be-
tore any vote could be reached, the
morning hour expired, and the bill
went over.
The McCreary Chinese bill was taken
up at the close OF the morning hour,
and an attempt was made to reach an
agreement that n vote should be taken,
which, failing, Mr.. McCreary said that
he had an understanding with Mr..
Cox, of Tennessee, that the bank bill,
set for consideration tomorrow, would
be postponed, and that tomorrow at
o'clock be would call the previous ques-
ton.
Mr.. Hit, of Illinois, spoke in favor OF

in favor OF the bill.

There would follow the enactment OF

Of this legislation was to allow the Six
Companies to try the case again and

a criticism OF the Six Companies for
preventing Cinnamon from registering.

SAVANNAH, GA, Oct. 12.-At s p. m.
Savannah is in the teeth of storm
which threatens in few hours to equal
in intensity that OF August %, which
swept the entire Georgia and South
Carolina coast.
The prediction Of the weather bureau
OF its approach gave ample warning, and
all day preparations have been in pro-
eress in the city and on the river and
harbor to protect property from its raw
ages. The wind is now blowing forty
miles an hour and is steadily increasing.
All vessels in the harbor have sought
shelter and safe anchorage. The
smaller craft, tow boats, pilot boats and
yachts have been massed in slips and
tied last. No vessels have left port to-
day.
The New York steamer, City OF Au-
gusta, which lett New York Wednes-
day. is due tomorrow, and it is feared
will be caught in the storm. The full
force ofthe storm is expected to reach
here between now aud midnight, \
heavy rain is now falling.

Office it is said that a storm is coming

will be stronger.
No matter what the weather, how.

That Lord Dunraven has not aban-

hope Of getting her back to the weight
that she had before she came over.

perience has shown that the senate is

He then withdrew his suggestion OF

A few minutes later Mr.. Wolcott,

NOTHING LEFT But COMPROMISE.
After a continuous session OF thirty
eight hours and forty minutes Senator
Voorhees,, leading the repeal forces, was
compelled by the inability Of his fol-
lowers to longer stand the terrible
strain, to capitulate, temporarily
at least by yielding to an adjournment.
He had been trying all night to induce
the silver men to allow the senate to
take recess until tomorrow morning,
and thus keep the legislative
day, which began Wednesday morning
at ii o'clock, alive. But the obstinate
silverties would accept only ad-
journment, and at lao u, M,
after the quorum had been
twice broken for over an hour, he
reluctantly threw up the sponge. This
ioices the repealers to relinquish the
ground they secured and begin all over
again il the attempt to secure n vote by
brute force is to be attempted once
more.
Senator Voorhees, and Senator Palmer
and other administration men claim
that the adjournment does not
necessarily mean an abandon
ment OF the fight. The silver
senators and compromisers jubilantly
asserted that the victory is theirs; that
unconditional repeal is dead absolutely.
and that nothing remains but COM
promise.
And compromise the indications are,
it will be, along the line OF the Harris
amendments.
