Rio DE JANEIRo, March 27.-A general
southwark movement of the Government
troops in the State of Sac Paulo is an
nounced. 1t is believed the rebels are
retreating. An afternoon paper declares
that General Saraiva has fled to Uruguay.
The defeat of General Salgahdo is con-
firmed.
A reporter of the Associated Press has
taken great pains to learn if there was
any basis of truth in the report cabled to
the United States in regard to the revival
by PeiXo of the imperial DEGREES of 1888
and 1851 relating to the treatment of for
eigners and natives who set up revolt.
No one here knows anything about it,
and it can be positively said that 10 de-
cree has ever been issued by President
Peixoto ordering executions without the
forms of trial.
LONDON, March 2S.-The Times pub
fishes the following this "wednesday

well, you're getting them, are you

There's lot of you fellows around
here who would be glad to see me get the
worst of it. You are one of them, too."
and it was at this point that Pendergast
seized broom in his cell and, pushing
the handle through the bars, jabbed
johnson twice in the face with it with all
the strength at his command. The guard
was taken wholly by surprise. Four
hours in the dungeon quieted the assas-
sin, but he was very sdllen when he re-
turned to his cell.

delphia Lady.
PHILADELPHIA, March 27.-The mar
riage of Jules Patenotre, the French EN-
bassador, to Miss Eleanor Louise Elver-
son, daughter of James Elverson, pub
Usher of the Inquirer, occurred this after
noon at the Eiverson residence. Sir
Julian Pauncefote, British ambassador,
and Prince Cantacuzene, Russian En-
bassador, were witnesses for the groom,
and Mayor Stewart and James Elverson,
Jr.. for the bride. The ceremony took
place under a bower of roses in the bay
window of the spacious parlors, the bridal
couple kneeling on a footstoOl OF choice
rosebuds, and was solemnized by Cardi-
nal Gibbons, clad in full Vestments, as
sisted by Arch bishop Ryan.
The groom was attired in his usual
morning dress, a black frock coat and
light trousers. The bride wore white
satin gown, en- trains high neck, large
ruffed sleeves, tulle veil, fastened by a
diamond tiara, and a superb necklace OF
three strands of choice pearls, with a
diamond clasp, the gift OF the groom. She
carried no flowers in her hand.
Only the immediate family of the bride
were assem- bled in the parlOrs.
The ceremony was followed by an elab-
crate wedding breakfast, after which the
couple l0lL Oh d W6uQluS GOuI Vi ii lew
weeks. On their return they will occupy
the magnificent new legation building at
Washington, the home of the late Ad-
mirai Porter, superbly fitted up in a
style required by European diplomatic
customs. There were many handsome
gifts from friends of both parties.
This will be the first marriage of an
ambassador in this country and quite
the most notable of diplomatic corps So
cial incidents in many years, certainly
since Joseph chamberlain married the
daughter of Secretary Endicott and the
brilliant wedding of the first Secretary
of the British Legation, the Hon. Michael
Herbert of Newport. The En- bassador's $
bride will enter the official circle in
Washington most auspiciously. Only
two foreign Ministers in Washington
have American wives-Minister Romero
of Mexico and Minister Mendonca of
Brazil. NJ. Patenotre is one of the most
distinguished of French diplomats. He
came TO Washington as Minister in De-
cember, 1871. and was raised to the rank
of Embassador April 13, 1893.

FOR LIGHTING CARS.
Successful Test of New Electric
Machine.


Machine.
CHICAGO, March 27.-The Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul to-day tested new
device for the electric lighting of railway
cars. The machine, which is the inven-
ton of William Biddie of Brooklyn, was
attached to a private car bearing party
of railroad men and capitalists. and run
to Milwaukee and back, with results that
were satisfactory to the promoters Of the
system. The machine IS to be placed
upon every car. 1t is driven from one of
the axles, and geared direct from the axle
to the dynamo at a ratio of three to one.
The dynamo is one-horse power, and
bound to give a current of twenty eight
volts and forty ampheres.
One of the features of the invention is
an electrical changing switch which au-
tomatically changes in the direction the
car is reversed, SO that in the back ward
movement of the train the light remains
steady. The machine is automatic
throughout, and the electricity is not
generated when the car is moving at a
rate of less than twenty miles an hour.
A system of storage battery provides for
a steady continuation of the light during
stops from the train, and will run the
lamp for five hours after the car has
stopped. The lamps during to-day's test
gave steady, brilliant light that did not
vary during any switching or stoppage of
the train. The device is controlled by
the American Railway Electric Company.
