The bride wore a handsome gown of light silk, and the two little Rossiter girls, cousins of the bride, and who were the flower girls, were dressed in white. A younger brother of the groom, John R. Harri- son, acted as page and carried the wed- ding ring. The bridal party entered the church at z o'clock and proceeded up the main aisle to the strains of wedding march played by Mrs. A. E. Platt. In front of the pulpit platform they were met by the pastor of the church, Rev. Frank Countryman, who performed the marriage ceremony. A beautiful arch of chrysanthemums had been erected, and from the center hung bell, beneath which the couple stood. The design was very pretty. There was also a large array of chrysanthe- nuns banked up on the platform and the display was quite effective. After the ceremony the wedding party left the church while the organ pealed forth

 The G. T. Newhall Carriage company made an assignment in the probate court yesterday morning through its counsel. Attorney P. w. Chase. In the assignment it was stated that the company was in embarrassed finan- cial circumstances and that by vote of the board of directors it had been decided that the interest of the cred itors and stockholders would best be served by winding up the affairs. No statement of assets or liabilities was filed with the assignment and probably none will be filed, as all of the gentle men interested state that the sole ob- ject in assigning is to wind up the affairs and close out the business. thus preventing any possibility of future liabilities or complications. This means is the only one, so stated Attorney Chase, which can be employed to wind up the business. In the assignment Levi c. Gilbert is named for trustee and Judge Robertson assigned hear ing for next Thursday morning The liabilities are comparatively small, 1t is said, and there is but one creditor of the company outside of the stockholders. The one outside cred- itor's claim will be presented, it is said. by some of the stockholders. The capital stock of the company is but $6,000 and this is all owned by six people. Among these are Fred. L.. Cowles, Frank J. Linsley and Levi G. Gilbert. These gentlemen are also directors and voted to assign. The company's plant is on Park street, but little or nothing has been done there since July. The company has not en- gagged in business to any great extent for two years. In July 8 committee consisting of F. l.. Cowles, F. J. Lins- ley and Levi c. Gilbert was appointed to arrange with creditors for the com pany and to settle all claims.

 THE HARvARD-YALE EIGHT-oARED RACE.
 "The Harvard-Yale eight pared race of 1895 will be more than usually inter- esting, not only as a first trial of Har- yards new system, but because, very likely, too, of the opportunity afforded by Yale's race with Oxford to get line on the four leading university crews of the world. MT. Robert Cooks recent trip to England, for the purpose of ar. ranging a race with Oxford next April on the Thames, appears at this writ ing to have had the desired result though a race Is not yet absolutely set. tied upon. Oxford may be disinclined to arrange now, before the Oxford-C Cam bridge event (which comes in March) for race in April, and on the same plan as the Oxford-Yale track athletic meeting. Still. I do not fancy MT. Cook will have much difficulty in making a match. The time of the year suits OK. ford perfectly. It will be an awkward time for our men, who will need all the practice they can get"

Tillman'S Failure.

The dispeDsary law which Governor Till
man has been endeavoring to enforce in
South Carolina has been declared unconsti-
tutional by the Supreme Court of that State,
on the gro8nd that under the constitution
the State could not monopolze the sale of
liquors. One of the judges dissented and
there is a disposition on the part of Tillman
to appeal the case, but it is held by good au-
thorities that the decision of ii State SUI
preme Court that law is unconstitutional
is not appealable, though decision that
law was constitutional could be appealed to
the Supreme Court of the United States.
According to all that can be learned the
dispensary law has been observed in few
towns and in those the decrease of drunken
ness has been marked, There has been
some falling off in the consumption OF liquors
throughout the State, due largely to the
high prices of the goods sold by the dispen-
saries. In all towns ''blind tigers have
operated more or less extensively, Oppo-
nentS of the dispensary law have steadily
refused to patronize the State liquor shops.
Undoubtedly the dispensary law had good
features which commended it to some extent
to the best and moral elements of society,
but the animosity aroused by tho spy fea-
ture and the repulsive idea of the State
maintaining monopoly in the whskey
trade, and that for profit rendered it in
tensely unpopular. The country people.
most of whom are prohibtionists, are said
to have upheld the law more out of their
fidelity to Tillman than respect for any of
its features.
IT is interesting to note that the Voice has
just completed canvass Of clergymen in
South Carolina to ascertain the true facts
concerning the merits and operation of tho
law when the act was declared unconsttu-
tional.
OF the eighty three men from whom re-
plies were received by the Voice fifty-seven
regard the dispensary law as an improve
ment over the old system OF licensed bar
rooms, in decreasing drunkenness, crime
and the attendant evils Of the liquor traffic
Most OF these fifty seven favorable replies
are from prohbitionists, who in the test
vote takon two years ago voted for pro-
hibitory law and were disappointed and ag
grieyed at being given the dispen-
sary instead. They do not accept tho dis
penssry as an ultimatun, but arc still
working and hoping for prohibition. Six
teen of the replies are from prohibitionists
who see In the dispensary greater evil than
good as compared with the old system of
licensed saloons, and ten are from clergy
men who oppose the dispensary on other
grounds than that of prohibition. From the
answers as whole, however, it appears
that a very large majority of the best moral
sentiment of South Carolina regards the dis,
pensary as an improvement over the license

The celebration of the nineteth anniver-
sary of Names apostle of temperance has
suggested the fact that Vermont also had
Neal Dow, and the Hon. Warren G.. French
of Woodstock contributes TO the Vermont
Standard some interesting "reminiscences Of
the father Of the Green Mountain State S
present prohibition law 1t was in 1852 that
Thomas i. Powers, who represented Wood
stock in the Legislature. introduced in the
House a prohibition bill drawn upon the
same lines as that of Maine, which was
passed the previous year, 1Sjl
According to Mr.. French DR.. Powers
travelled over the State lecturing on the
cause Of temperance and educating public
sentiment in favor of the new law The
chief leader Of the opposition to Dr. Powers
in the Legislature was Lawyer Charles X.
Field of Newfane, and it is stated that the
battle went on during nearly the entire ses-
sion of the Legislature but the bill was
finally passed and signed by the governor on
Nov. %, 1852
As an illustration of the intensity of feel
ing which was engendered, Mr.. French says
that when Dr. Powers was asked if he had
ever heard a sermon by Dr.. l., an able
clergyman at Montpelier and who took a de-
cided stand against the prohibition law DR..
Powers replied mo, and | never shall
unless he can run faster than | can" At
tention is also called to the fact that DR..
Powers was superintendent of construction
Of the present State house and it is claimed
that he saved many thousands of dollars to
the State treasury by personal supervision
of details and resisting the payment of ex-
orbitant bills. So that it is plain thta
Nermont's Neal Dow was a practical man
as well as an enthusiastic and thorough
temperance advocate.
1t is interesting in this connection to note
the fact pointed out by Mr.. French that
Nermont's prohibition law is the oldest in
existence in any State since Neal Dow
law was repealed by the Maine legislature
in 1856. 1t is equally significant, however,
that after two years experience with free

WARNING TO NORTHERN INVESTORS.


A citizen of Raleigh, n. c., who is large
ly interested in Southern manufactures
makes the following interesting observations
| about the Southern cotton mill boom now
on: Some years ago town was founded
| at Birmingham, Ala, and the company
which founded it became very rich. Later
Noble Bros of Rome, Ga, founded town
at Admission, Ala, which was successful.
Suburban properties adjacent to many
Southern towns and cities were successfully
| developed. Based upon these successes, ad
venturers and impecunious enthusiasts 10
Gated cities in all sorts of places and under
all sorts of impossible conditions, This did
the South much harm. Many a man i'll
New York New England and other parts
of the North was swindled numerically.
1T would be a great pity if this sort of
thing should be repeated in connection with
the erection of cotton factories in the South,
a matter to which special attention is now
being directed. The South has mostly by
her own resources established the industry
of manufacturing cotton in her own Dor
ders. Based upon the remarkable success
she has attained. a number of people are
now canvassing New England and the North
generally, inviting subscriptions to factory
schemes, many of which are bound to fail
for the same reasons that town sites failed,
and for the further reason that the pro
motors never did anything but fail in what
ever they undertook.
"All sorts Of people went into the town
site business, but perhaps the very worst
frauds committed were those by New Eng
land people upon New England people.
While tho Fort Payne swindle is generally
referred to as Southern bubble, it was
really a case where a New England promo
ter, using the success made at Birmingham
as bait, squandcred over SIS, 900, 900 of
good New England money, while not
single Southern man nor a Northern man
living in the South, in honest occupation,
was ever consulted in the matter. Some of
the factory promoters who are now invit-
ing investments up North are doubtless on
the order of the Fort Payne swindler. To
the Northern man who has money to invest
| would say. that if iudciously invested in
Southern cotton mill property it will pay
him handsomely. But would warn him to
be careful in making the investment The
Northern man who gets out get an elegant
prospectus, showing more profit than any
wise man ought to make, and the Southern
man who has an elegant site for mill but
is hunting for somebody to furnish all the
money to build one, should both be scrupu-
lousy avoided by investors.
