HOlT-POWELl.

There was very quiet but happy we'd ding last night. After all, are not these unobtrusive sealings of the life compact the very essence of romance? If all the world loves lover, it must love him best when with his own good right arm he launches his bark upon the matrimonial sea, and with unbounded faith in Providence and infinite tenderness for his lovely passen- ger spreads his sail and lays his course upon the shoreless sea.
 Last night at o'clock at the residence of the brides mother, Mrs. C. A. Powell, 2510 Fourth avenue, MT. Allen M. Holt and Miss Mary Allen Powell were united in marriage by Rev. Dr. B. D. Gray ac- cording to the beautiful and solemn ritual of the Baptist church. Only few of the nearest relatives and intimate friends were present, but the wide circle in which the bride and groom have moved was in touch with the occasion.
 As a maiden Mrs. Holt was one of the sweetest and loveliest of the sisterhood in Birmingham. Possessed of innumera- ble graces of physique and mind, she was indeed a prize worthy of the best efforts of manhood MT. Holt is one of the most popular members of the typographical fraternity in Birmingham, man truly without an enemy and with every requi- site for successful career. The future is indeed rosy with promise for the happy nair

 The attorneys for the defense and pros ecution agreed to pass the case until Friday. The warrant charges him with the murder of Lizzie Durr, the negro girl who was shot by Officer Byars last Mon day morning.
 Quite a large crowd of negroes col lected about the justice courts, but they did not manifest any violent acts. A few threats were uttered, but the officers did not apprehend any trouble. A little excitement was caused when Chief Me Donald and Sergeant Donelson turned back a crowd of negroes who were fol- lowing the prisoner back to jail. The crowd dispersed peaceablyi short time and the negroes left the vicinity.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

The Atlanta Constitution, speaking of James O'Neil1s production of 'Monte Cristo" in that city, says;
 MT. James O'Neill, who holds such a warm spot in the hearts of the Atlanta theater-goers, played last night to an ex- cellent house at the Lyceum. To say that the audience was delighted with the bill presented by Americas foremost TO- mantle actor is putting it lightly. Mon te Cristo' was the bill and Monte has a hold on the American heart such as few plays have ever had. MT. O'Neill has made the play a classic one, and has placed his rendition of the leading role by the side of Jefferson's Rip.

Between the third and fourth acts MT. O'Neill was waited on by commit tee from the woman's board, consisting of Mrs. Louie M. Gordon, Mrs. w. M. Dickson and Mrs Hugh Hagan, who were escorted by Manager Connor and Business Manager A. Toxen Worm. The object of the visit of this committee was to thank MT. O'Neill for the gift of $100 made to the womans board MT. O'Neill was unknown to the majority of the wo- mans board at that time, and his hand some response was appreciated all the more, especially as he was one of the first to make donation to the woman's building fund.

J. A. Barker has lots of pluck, but very
poor judgment. He has ventured to defy
the federal grand jury, and Is likely to
come out of the trouble that has ensued

Some time ago Barker forwarded a
communication to the United States COM
missioners of pensions, wherein he stated
that a certain man in Los Ange les was
! drawing a pension of $72 per month
which had been obtained fraudulently.
He claimed that certain prominent Off
Gals were concerned in this and other
+ similar frauds, and he offered to expose
the entire matter if he were awarded 30
per cent of the amounts saved to the
yUvernment. The commissioner of pen
s, Ons forwarded the letter to Pension En-
an Miner DR.. Balch in this ,city. He went
to Marker and asked him to surrender
the same of the man drawing pension
wron yfiully. This Barker refused to DO
unless he was paid for his trouble. 1t was
pointed out that the government had
made no provision for giving rewards in
such case ;, bat that as good citizen it
was his du tv to reveal the details regard
ing the cen uni ssion of crime. Barker
was obdurat.s; he wanted to finger re-
ward and wast just as impervi Gus to the

hrs. Clara Shipton Opposes

The deposition of Mrs. Clara Sbipton,
the mother of the young girls said to
have been debauched by Clifton e.
Mayne, was taken yesterday before Judge
Clarke.
Mrs. Shipton did not appreciate the
close confinement in the Jail where she
was held as witness for Mayne's trial,
it not appearing absolutely certain to the
district attorney that if allowed her free
dom she would be on hand when wanted.
She made affidavit under the code pro-
vision that she could not give bail and
thereupon it was decided that her deposit
tim be taken. She was represented yes
terday by W. K. Murphy, Esq, George
Nj. Holton of the district attorneys office.
appearing for the prosecution.
The examination of Mrs. Shlpton was
not very long and in certain particulars
her testimony was not given with any
striking amount of Willingness. She ties
titled that she resides at No. 2306la Har-
rison street, San Francisco, ana has no
special occupation. She said she has
three children, Elsie. Della May and
Florence, and that Elsie was IA years old
on June 18th last. When sne was born
she was named Jenny Evelyn, which Was
subseq uently changed to Elsie and so en-
tered ny her in the family Bible.
Mrs. Shipton produced the Bible AID
exhibited the name of the child duly en-
tered in it. Both attorneys were very
particular about this Bit of evidence, for
the age of the girl is a very important
matter in the case, and Mayne will use
every effort to show that she is older than
stated.
Mrs. Shipton was asked about Mayne' s
aGquaintanceship with her daughters.
She replied that he advertised in the
San Francisco papers under the name of
LOTUS TO adopt child. Her daughters
saw tie advertisement, and one OF them
answered it. He called and the &C
quaiItance was begun in this manner.
He determined to adopt Della, but left
her with Mrs. Shipton for a time and
paid her board. He told the witness that
he was under q mystery" which he
would explain later, that he was using
the name of Lotus on account of his wife
ana property interests.
Mrs Shipton said Mayne afterwards
wrote from Los Angeles to the girls and
sent them money to come to this city. she
did not know how much. The first time
he met Elsie was when he took her and
Della 10 dinner at the Van Ness lodging
house, on which occasion she was not
present.
The witness was not at her ease while
on the witness stand. The main drift o.
the examination was regarding the age
of her little daughters. The page of thu
Bible wherein are inscribed the dates o
births of the children has had some liquio
spilled over it apparently, and the writ
ing. while not obiterated. is in places
disfgured. The girl Elsie's age show.
the date, 1881. as if some change had beer
made, but whether the appearance is the
result of the liquid which has caused a
designation elswhere or has been made
intentionally, remains to be seen.
Mayne viewed the proceedings with a
critical eye. no detail apparently escaping
his notice. After the deposition had
taken Mrs. Shipton was released from
custody.
