THE COBURG WEDDING.

A Great Gathering of Royalty at the Nup-
 tials-A Magnificent Display.
 CoBURG, April 19.-The wedding of Prin- cess Victoria Melita to Ernest Louis, grand duke of Hesse, occurred today with great ceremony and magnificent display. Elm peror William, Queen Victoria of Great Britain, who is the grandmother of the bride and groom; the Prince of Wales, the czarowitz of Russia and ex-Empress Fred erick, besides many lesser royal persons, were present.
 The Schloss platZ, the great open space in front of the ducal palace, was packed last night with humanity to witness an enormous torchlight procession given in honor of the betrothed couple. The heights to the right of the platz were brilliantly illuminated with Bengal lights, which threw weird, dancing shadows among the old trees and shrubbery of HerZog park, which lies back of the heights.
 The whole center of the platZ was mass of flaming torches and lanterns of every conceivable color. Those taking part in the procession executed a series of figures under the windows of the palace. They were headed by the Coburg Bicycle club, the member of which carried lanterns showing the colors of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and of Hesse. Then followed hun dreds of the townsfolk and students bear ing balloon lanterns and torches. The scene was fairylike one.
 As mark of recognition of the loyalty and good wishes of his subjects and also to commemorate his marriage the Grand Duke of Hesse gave 900 marks each to 20 deserving betrothed couples in his grand dunhu

Two Shot Dead and Many Wounded by .
 Sheriffss Posse.


 DETROIT, April 19-Wayne county's sheriff lies in a precarious condition, his body lacerated by the shovels of enraged rioters. Two Polish laborers are dead, and the number injured is not yet definitely known. These unfortunate conditions arc the result of a conflict which occurred be tween some 400 Poles and Sheriff Collins and five of his deputies
 The riot was brought about by differ ences of opinion over the wages to be paid laborers by the city water commissioners for digging trenches for pipe laying in Crosse Point township, just east of the city limits. No actual outbreak was an ticipated, but as precaution Sheriff Col lins and five deputies went to the scene to protect those who wished to work. Work progressed on small scale during the morning, but Engineer Williams, becom- ing alarmed at the aspect of things, con suited some of the commissioners shortly before noon and was instructed to quit work for the time being.
 Before he returned, however, rioting be gan. Sheriff Collins and Deputy Steyskal, after telephoning for re-enforcements, be- gan to address the mob to pacify them. One of the Poles began an opposition ha- rangue. The crowd thereupon started to annihilate the officers and the handful of laborers at work
 At the advance the officers drew revolvers and fired over, the strikers heads, but the mob came on, and the next volley was dis charged into the crowd. Then the officers retreated slowly, firing as they went. Still the mob followed, one man dealing the sheriff vicious blow on the head with his shovel. The other officers, the workers and an Evening News reporter escaped, all being more or less pounded with shevels, but the helpless sheriff was brutally at tackled. The mob then scattered, leaving the sheriff unconscious on the field. Two of the Poles were found dead-John Pielat and a comrade, name unknown.

PAUL REVERE'S RIDE.

Boston and the Surrounding Towns Cele- brate New Holiday.
 BOSTON, April 19.-Thousands of patri- otic citizens crowded the thoroughfares adjoining the old North church when the chime bells in the tower of that historic edifice wererung for the first time in half century. Lanterns were hung exactly as history says they were hung by Sexton Newman LIS years ago to warn Paul Re were that the soldiers of King George were attempting landing. The houses in the vicinity were hung with Chinese lanterns end bunting.
 The patriotic small boy was on hand with cannon, cracker and fuse, and all the fea- lures of a glorious Fourth of July seemed to have been concentrated in the north end for the time being. The old edifice itself was clothed in American colors, and lucky were those who gained admission. The most imposing feature of the service came last, when the great congregation rose and joined in singing America"
 The historic ride of the famous Paul Re were on April 10, 17775, from Charlestown to Lexington was reproduced by Robert W. Sise of Medford, clad in an historical costume similar to that worn by Revere and mounted on black charger. Sise went over the exact route of the original ride, and so far as could be gathered from his tory he carried out every movement of the ride of a century ago.
 Following history. no stop was made un- til he reached the old Royal hotel, Med ford, where mock drum corps was arous- ed into activity. They started for old Med ford, crossed College briN;e, and with hoarse cries and beating or drums were supposed to arouse the residents as Paul did in days of yore. The corps then gal loped to the Braddock house, the oldest structure in the country, and aroused counterfeit General Braddock who with his make believe minutemen, turned out and joined ill the excitement.
 At the Hancock house, Lexington, the terminus was made, and after consulta- ] tion with the counterfeit Dorothy Quincy, who~was supposed to warn Dr. Warren and John Hancock, the ride was ended. The towns all along the route celebrated } in true patriotic style worthy of the days of the revolution.

Great Northern Meu Are Out Now on the
 Whole Length of the Line.


 Whole Length of the Line.
 ST. PAUL, April 19.-The order for the Great Northern men to strike at Minne- apolis has been issued It at first read for o'clock this morning. but was later changed for o'clock this morning. This means that the entire system will be tied up unless the restraining order of the courts can get it running at once.
 The temporary restraining order issued by-Indge Sanborn calls for hearing in this city on April 27 at which time the leaders of the strike are to show cause why they should not be permanently re- strained from ''disabling or rendering in any way unfit for immediate and con- venient use any other property of the com pany used byait in interstate commerce, and from interfering and obstructing the operation of any portion of said railroad engaged in such commerce or its telegraph system"
 This restraining order was turned over to deputies by the United States marshal, and they went out in force on two trains. These trains had an engine at each end, so that even had the strikers wished to inter- fere they would find some difficulty in do- ing so.
 The reports received in this city from points along the line of the Great Northern are much of the same tenor. The men are announcing their peaceable intentions, and at the same time, without great violence, preventing the running of any trains and the making up of any new trains. North Dakota points that are supplied with mail and provisions over the Great Northern are complaining vigorously over their iso- lation.
 Three unsuccessful attempts were made to start train ut Moorehead, Minn. At Grand Forks, N. D., all was quiet. The passengers who reached Great Falls on the last train five days ago have been cared for by the company, but they received their last meals from that source yester- day, the company notifying them to that affect

The Humorists Publishing Company As
 signs, With Heavy Liabilities.
 NEW YORK, April 19.-The assignment of Samuel L. Clemens, known over the en- tire world as Mark Twain, and his part ner, Frederick J. Hall, who compose the firm of Charles l.. Webster 6 Co.,, book publishers at 67 Fifth avenue, was filed in the county clerks office. The assignee Is Bainbridge Colby of 40 Wall street. The assignment was without preference, and the decd was signed by MT. Clemens in this city. It was stated that his residence is in Hartford and MT. Halls at Far Rock away.
 The assignment was complete surprise and is said to be made on account of the failure of the firm to obtain money which they confidently expected to get to meet obligations just maturing. The liabilities are supposed to be about $200, 900, and MT. Clemens is personally responsible with his partner. His individual means are said to be small.
 The business was started by Mark Twain to escape the exactions of publishers. He thought the publishers made too much money in proportion out of the authors, and after he had acquired fame and some capital he proposed to get all the profit there as out of his own books.

CRACKERS AND CHEESE

TRAITORS TRAVELLING IN THE VAN.

sThe Unknown" and Two Companions Had Been There Before-kelly's Big Army In
 Rare Good Luck-Wagonloads of Provi-
 sions and Some Luxuries Taken to Camp. HANCOCK, Md, April 19s-Coxey's navy sailed into barren seas When it reached | Hancock. A run of 20 miles was made be-
 tween breakfast and sunset, the flotilla l drawing up under the Hancock bridge for I late and hearty supper at dusk, but the l supper had to come out of the commissary 1 wagon. The town authorities refused to vote either money or provisions to the army, so that crackers and cheese were the l best they could get out of their own re- 1 sources. | But greater reverse than this greeted the leaders. Private charity that might have gone to them had been drained by | two traitors in the camp. .Unknown" Smith, who had promised to go ahead and pave the way for the army, had done so
 with vengeance. He, the yelled lady and "Cheek" Childs, a yonng man who had
 been the army's advance agent from Mas ! sillon, had come to town the previous day,
 and holding public meeting ha,l raised a sum of money-how much could not be learned-on the strength of credentials from Coxey in Childs' possession.
 Brown a Reformed Falkir.
 Brown and Coxey at once published an open letter to Mayor Charles Hubert de- nounciug the men as impostors and asking their arrest for obtaining money under false pretenses. But the three fakirs had flown for Williamsport, the next stopping place of the army, and messages were sent ahead asking their detention.
 Browne was himself the subject of an unpleasant revelation, Burgess Ditto of the town council identifying him as an In- dian medicine man who had visited the town three years ago with patent blood purifier.
 The Coxey men practically took posses sion of Hancock after dark. There being no stipulation, as in Cumberland, to hold them outside of the town, they swarmed up from the wharf and filled the saloons on the main street, drinking freely and talking theosophy and politics with what natives would engage in discussion, though the most of the citizens stayed indoors. leaving the newcomers to their own de- vices. There were a great many visitors in town, many of the guests from Berkeley Springs driving over the mountains to see the strange pilgrims. There were also ru- mors that a crowd of roughs from the neighborhood had organized to give the
 CoNey forces pitched battle, but no ac-
 tual violence occurred.
