HUTTO WEDDING.
Miss Sennie Evans and Professor Little
Were Made Happy.

Hutto, Tex, Dec. 6.-(Special.) -There
was grand wedding in Hutto yesterday,
December 5. Miss Sennie Evans, the
beautiful and accomplished, the youngest
and last unmarried daughter of Captain
Prof Samuel G. Little, popular and
rising young man OF Milano, Tex. The
bride is noted for her beauty and accom-
plishments and the purity of manners and
disposition and is connected with some
of the oldest and best families in the State,
all true Texans, and the crowd that gath
cred at the Cumberland Presbyterian
church yesterday morning was evidence
of the popularity of the contracting par
ties. Mrs. e. B. Chapman of George
town, Tex, sister to the bride, was or
ganist. At 1915 o'clock the sudden still
ness of expectancy was broken by the
strains of the wedding march, while the
bridal party filed slowly up the aisle. The
beautiful as, leaning on the arm of the
groom, they advanced and took their place
before the altar. Miss Katie McCutch-
con as bridesmaid and Mr.. j. l.. Little as
best man followed. The bride was be-
comingly arrayed in tan silk with jet orna-
ments and lace. Miss McCutcheon was
charming in changeable tan and blue silk,
lace and velvet and silver buttons.
Messrs. j. ID. Newton and Walter Fow-
Ter, friends Of the groom, also formed
part of the interesting group that for few
moments stood before the audience, while
the Rev. Jno. A. Hudson, an almost life
long friend of the brides family, per-
formed the ceremony with an impressive
ness that failed not to reach the ear and
heart of everyone present and made them
realize the Importance, the purity and the
sacredness of the marriage tie. One
young man, who has been bachelor long
enough, was heard to remark that Broth
er Little ought to be good man all the
days of his life and thankful, for he had
secured Gods best gift to man, pure and
lovely woman" The bridal party with
a host of relatives and friends, now re-
paired to the residence of Captain Evans,
where the wedding feast was spread. OF
its excellence and the appreciation of the
guests, We scribe, who helped to serve
them, can well attest The happy couple
left on the 2:15 train for Milano, their
future home. Some of the wedding pres
ents were costly, many beautiful and in
number too great to mention.

AS usual the Rusk society of the Uni

entertainments on last evening Es-

forth the noble traits of Irvings charac-
ter in a mastery manner. He showed
that he is the most brilliant star of Eng
fish literature, and that his rise was
brought about by bad health. His His
tory of New York and the Sketch Book
are the best to be had in those lines,
and for this reason England wants to
claim him. Mr.. Criddle concluded by
paying a glowing tribute to the society
and to the ladies'. ....
Upon the conclusion of Mr.. Criddle's
speech Mr. Henry Faux took the stand
and proceeded to deliver his retiring ad-
dress as president. After expressing
his gratitude to the members for the
kindnesses shown him, and after deliver
ing an eloquent eulogy upon the history
of the Rusk. Mr.. Faux proceeded to
show what glorious privilege it is to
live in Texas, where want is unknown;
to have the opportunity of a liberal edu-
cation in our University, and, above al,
to be trained up for the conflict OF life
in such a society as the Rusk. Pro-

NATIONAL WOOL GROWERS.
A Memorial to be Presented to Congress
Was Adopted Yesterday.

Washington, Dec. THE National
Wool Growers association adopted Il
memorial to be presented to congress next
Monday for the relief of the wooden in
dustry. The document is lengthy one
drawn up by President Lawrence of
Ohio and committee, and was finally
endorsed, with some notifications, unani-
mOusly. The memorial shows that since
the Mckinley act of 1890 was passed
the price of wool has declined in the mar
kets of the world some per cent and
this created the necessity for protective
duties, which did not exist even when
the Mckinley act was passed. 1t as
serts that this act was intended to give
duty of II cents per pound on un-
washed merino wool, double on washed
and triple on secured; that the wool man
some days since in favor of the defend
Australian wool, and that the duty of the
act of 1890 of 33 cents ON secured per
pound of merino affords a practical pro-
lection of only 10 IL cents per pound.
Also, that the importation of China wool,
which completes with merino wool and
wool of the mutton breeds, was import
ed during the last fiscal year to the
amount of 26000,000 pounds at an i'm
port price of little over cents per
pound. This is said to be n new source
of supply of foreign wool since the Nc
Kinley act was passed and American
wool growers can not compete with that
wool under the present rate of duty. The
memorial, therefore, asks for duty on
merino woods and woods of the mutton
breeds of sheep of II cents per pound on
washed, doubled on unwashed and triple
on secured, thus making but one class
of these two kinds of wool. 1t asks for
duty of 8 cents per pound on third-class
woods without reference to valuation.
1t declares that these rates of duty are
absolutely necessary to save the Ameri
can wool industry from ruin. The memo
rial says that with 100 majority In the
house of representatives in favor of pro-
lection it can OF escape the duty of
speedily giving consideration to the sub
ject and quotes the paragraph of Presi-
dent Cleveland's message, in which he
says he is reay to cooperate with con-
gress in providing a measure of relief for
the treasury.
Sixteen States are represented in the
association. The memorial is signed by
William Lawrence, president; Frank Z.
Bennett of the Boston Wool and Cotton
Reporter, A. e. Shepard of Texas, Calvin
Cowgirl of indianapolis, Il. Il. CalrOn Of
New Mexico, B. Il. Couch of Texas, NJ
II. Greedy of South Dakota, Joseph
Tweed of Texas, j. Il. Dodge and w. r.
Wieder of Colorado. These gentlemen
compose the committee which will pre-
sent the memorial to congress.

SEVERAL PILOTS LOST.

Liverpool, Dec. 7.-While pilot boat
was attempting to put pilot aboard the
British steamer Cambrioman, which sailed
from Boston November 4, off Point Linas
this morning, she was struck amidships
and badly damaged. Sixteen of the pilots
on board became so alarmed that they took
to a small boat and cut adrift in a terrible
gale, which was blowing. The captain
of the Cambrioman says that a big wave
threw his boat ana the pilot boat into VIC
lent contact and that three pilots jumped
on board the Cambrioman and the rest of
the pilots jumped into punt and disap-
peared.
The Cambrioman cruised about the spot
where the punt was seen for five hours,
but no signs of the small craft were found,

Bought by Capt. ii. =. Haldeman Yes
terday.


Yesterday Capt. III. l.. Haldeman bur-
chased the lumber yard and planning mill
of A. Gardiner. This is one of the old
est and best known plants in the city,
doing a splendid business and carrying
large stock. The planning mill depart
ment was burned out about year ago,
and in rebuilding Mr.. Gardiner put in
all the very latest machinery, which
makes it one of the best equipped planning
mills in the South. Mr.. Haldeman takes
possession this morning and will retain
Mr.. X. A. ellis as foreman.
Mr.. Haldeman is one of Austin's most
progressive young business men, and
while he has been resident Of Austin
but nine years his success with every
thing he has taken hold Of proves him
to be man Of very fine business quail
fications. He has an extensive acquaint-
ancc, not only in the city but throughout
the surrounding country, and his general
popularity will be the means of increas-
ing this new business. His untiring en-
ergy and close application to business
will win him the same success in this
enterprise that he has attained in his
other ventures.
Mr.. Gardner has purchased an inter
est In big lumber company in Mexico,
which il the sole reason for his selling
his plant here. He will leave for his
new home IN few days.
