And So. They Married.

There was a quiet wedding in Port
land last Saturday afternoon at o'clock
that all the good people of The Dalles
are interested in hearing about. The
wedding took place at the residence of
Mrs. A. M. Williams, formerly of this
city, and the services were performed
by Rev. w. @. Curtis, of the Congrega-
tional church of this city, who went to
Portland for that particular purpose.
The contracting parties were Mr.. Harry
French of this city and Miss Anna,
daughter of Mrs. A. NJ. Williams.
The handsome rooms were tastefully
decorated, dogwood blossoms being the
material used for the purpose, and the
ceremony was performed in a bower
made of the blossom-coveredb boughs of
that beautiful tree. Only members of
the families and relatives were present.
The young couple came up on the
train Saturday night and took possess
sion of their residence on Fourth street.
The groom is one of The Dalles' most
popular young gentleman, and it is a
matter of congratulation to all that he
wooed and won one of The Dalles' most
charming young ladies, and brought her
back here to her old home. Their mar
ried life begins with the best wishes OF
all who know them, and that is every
body, and to the other congratulations
The CHRONICLE adds its paternal bless
ing, and wishes them pleasant voyage
over the sea, undisturbed by storms,
and ending only when old age shall
leave them at the other side, together.

Reply From Endersby to W. winIams.

In your Saturdays isshe of THE
CHRONICLE we find a letter signed by w.
II. Williams of Smile, which is mis-
leading to the general public. He states
the picnic grounds have not been
changed from his grove to the Campbell
grove, and to prove that fact he assumes
he was chairman of the committee on
grounds, which, If true, is known only
to himself, as there was no chairman
appointed by US. Admitting he was
self-appointed chairman, what has he
to do with holding the grounds, if the
other two, the majority of the com nit
tee, see fit to change the same for
grounds that suit them better.
He admits there has been some dis
sension but he fails to state it was all on
his part the dissension came. He fails
to state that at the commencement here
was committee of ladies appointed for
the selection of May queen and decora-
ton. Because they did not turn over
to him the selection and importation of
a May queen, since he was self-made
chairman of the ground committee, the
dissension arose. So we thought best
to leave him, and that wisely. to his
own picnic and grounds. Ali the harm
we wieh him now is the patronage of
the public, which he so richly deserves.
As we have the harmony class, commit
tee, the lady committee and the major
ity of the committee on grounds, with
all the preparations they have been
working on for the last month, it re-
mains to be seen who is the opposition.

!, Inspection at Clemson.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, May 2S.-This has
been an eventful day for the College,
inasmuch as the first inspection ever held
here by the inspector generals depart
ment took place this morning. The
cadets have been anxiously looking for
Major Earnest A. Darlington for several
days, as it was known that he wss on an
official tour and nearing this place; 80
when he arrived early in the day from
Atlanta the corps, full of enthusiasm for
the occasion, was at once made ready and
the regiment formed. The proceedings
consisted of, first, a aregimental inspection
and review, which was quite rigid /;
battalion drills with bayonet
exercises, firing blank cartridges, etc.,

This was the first time that cartridges
have ever been used, but the cadets
acquitted themselves handsomely In this
as well as In othe. respects. The firing
by battalion was very fine, the guns dis
charging with wonderful precision, that
would have done credit to veterans.
Major Darlington says that Clemson
College is the largest military school IN
the United States and appears pleased
with what he finds here except the fatigue
uniforms which are now used as dress,
the board having discarded the dress uni
form as matter Of economy to the boys.
Major Darlington has recently been pro-

ton. He has to visit all army posts,
national cemeteries and military schools

The Michigan Legislature, says the
Atlanta Constitution, has recently passed
q Bill making it a misdemeanor for any
person to. buy any sort OF Intoxicating
liquor for another or to "treat" another
ito any alcoholic beverage. It is very
generally believed that the treating sys:
tenn does great deal to cause the i'm
moderate uae Of Intoxicating drinks and
there Is good reason for this opinion. A
man goes in to get a drink and meets
friend. Tie usual result is that he takes
two drinks where he intended TO take
ono and only wanted one. II he meets
ssfanr or five friends the number Of drinks
he takes is frequently limited only by
the number in the party. Many a man
drinks under protest after he has had
enough merely because It in his or some
body else's time 10 treat. The treating
custom began in hospitality and good
fellowship but has degenerated into a
syery foolish and Injurious custom. The
ideal treating man Is the fellow who goes
into q bar room and yells out that every
body on the premises must drink with
him. We are the only people who have
zauch q habit, and 1t is no well fastened on

New Cotton Pest.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May 29.-Profes-
sor G. Il. Townsend the government en-
tomologist who was recently sent 10
southwest Texas to investigate the cot
ton boil weevil, has just finished trip
through the border counties Of Texas on
the lower Rio Grande. He states that he
found very little cotton growing along
the Rio Grande, and that the only place
where he found the cotton infested with
the weevil was in the vicinity Of Santa
Maria. He also reports the discovery at
Santa Maria Of new insect. preying on
the cotton, which he had never before
seen.
"rhis new cotton insect" said Professor
Townsend, sis q scale insect, belong.
ing, therefore, to the family coccidea.
It has not yet been specifically determin-
ed, In appearance 1t is cottony white,
about quarter Of an inch long and less
than half as wide, and looks like an OBJ
long bit of cotton stuck on the plant. It
was found very numerously on single
plant of cotton two miles west of Santa
Maria, occurring on the leaves and stems.
It Injuries the plant by sucking the juice
from the tissues, remaining stationary
either on leaves or stems. This 1s the
first and only time that this insect has
been found on cotton In the United States.
It Is entirely new to the planters. 1t 1s q
soft-bodied insect, which clothes itself
with cottony secretion, entirely cover
ing it. The scale insects are among the
most injurious insects known, and
spread very rapidly, so this may prove
serious If il reaches district where much
cotton is cultivated. fortunately there
is but little cotton this year on the lower
Rio Grande."

Illegal Seizure Of Private Liquor.

The parties whose liquor was seized In
Columbia in the last few days are still
specializing as to what will be the out
come of the latest move on the part OF the
State. Some have forwarded aftidavits to
Judge Slmonton complaining that their
liquor, which was intended for private
use, has been seized in violation OF the
injunction issued, others have asked ior
Its return, and some intend to hold Sne
railroads responsible for the seizures.
One party said that as he understood
the law there was no more difference be.
tween package of liquor for ones own
use than if it were case Of shoes. II, be
argued, a constable or other unauthorized
party could sign for and take package
Of liquor he could on the same grounds
receipt for case Of Shoes or anything
else be happened to want. The railroads.
he thought, were entirely responsible for
the delivery Of the liquor. He had bill
of lading, without any conditions, and no
went on to say that It was not his inten-
ton of asking the State for the liquor or
Of going to Judge Simonton. The only
party he knew in the transaction was the
railroad company, which has received the
package and for which he held the bill OF
fading. The railroads, as common car
riers, he said, were bound to carry liquor
or any other article of merchandise.
under the rulings Of the Court. Thus 1t
will be seen there is likely to be another
and interesting phase put on the aeizing
arrangement.
After few cases are heard by Judge
simonton it may be found that 1t Is
little too expensive luxury to keep up
the seizing.
It may be argued that, if the constables
are not attached for contempt and no one
takes the matter in hand to push the
cases, the Administration will come out
ahead Of the game by its latest move.
The move was unexpected, as II was
thought that until the Beach contempt
case was decided the authorities would
leave the liquor presumed to be tor pri-
yate use alone. One Of the interesting
features of the new order Of things is that
Constables Lafar and Davis, who were up
before Judge Golf for violation Of the
first order Of injunction, arc actively en-
gagged in making seizures.
An to the matter of the aff1davits the
receipts in the railroad and express off,

In the name of the State, az all liquor

Is stated that Commissioner Bauskett has

The Egyptian Cotton Crop.

WASHINGTON, June 3--Consul General
Penfield at Cairo has made report to the
State department on the prospective cot.
ton crop of Egyp for the present year,
which demonstrates that the Nile country
is becoming q serious competitor in this
staple. The Khediyal Government hav.
ing no system for collecting crop stats.
tics, the American consul general has en-
ployed representatives who have carefully
canyassed the cotton growing section and
their reports warrant the statement that
there is no great increase Of acreage over
last year.
A conservative estimate places the pres.
ent area at l 1,075, 900 acres, with a possible
crop under favorable conditions Of 1,050. .0oO
bales, American standard. Planters find
an incentive in current high prices to e1-
tend the cotton territory but the extension
in 1894 was 30 great as to about reach the
limit of possibility until irrigation can
have fresh impulse Shipments of
Egyptian long staple cotton to the United
States continue to increase and for the
commercial year 1594-95 will amount to
Al, 500 bales, ESQ pounds each, the equiva'
lent of about II ,250 bales of merican
standard. The shipment ten years ago
was less than 900 bales.

A Fatal Encounter.
Columbia State. Jqtne 2.

It was about O'Clock yesterday when
Mr.. John T. Duncan, the chief clerk In
the Office of the Secretary Of State, re-
ceived telegram from his brother, Sam
NJ. Duncan, who Is member Of the
State liquor constabulary force at Clinton,
saying: "Shot Workman In self de-
fence; got shot twice in hips" It being
known that Workman was the former
chief Of the force stationed In the up
country, a desperate man, the man who
conducted the raids which caused 30
much trouble in Greenville during Gov
ernor Tillman's administration, the wires
ascertained that Workman had, like
many others of the original oonstabulary.
force, joined the great majority, several
bullets having ended his earthly career,
And as will be seen below, yesterday
was bloody day all round for the Con-
stables; strange to say, only they them
selves drawing blood.
Duncan, the man who did the killing,
is thirty years OF age and Is native OF
Newberry County. He has wife and
four children. There has been bad blood
between himself and Workman for
long time. Workman was formerly the
the chief of the force stationed in the up
country and Duncan worked with him.
When the force was reorganized about
three months ago, Chief FAINT, 1t seems,
had reason to believe that Workman had
sold out to the liquor men In Greenville
and found that the other men could only
raid certain parties by acting contrary to
Workman's instructions.
Workman thought that Duncan had
been the cause Of his removal. Duncan,
it appears, never had any use for him
and went so far as to tell him what he
thought of him.
Yesterday morning, according to all
accounts received by the State and others,
John Work man and Duncan met on the
streets Of Clinton. Workman brought
up the matter Of the old trouble and
charged Duncan with having been the
cause Of his removal, and the shooting
followed. The States correspondent
saws: T"Workman first hit Duncan and
shot him twice, and then Duncan drew
his pistol and shot Workman three timer,
each ball taking effect. The coroner's
verdict was that Workman came to bis
death by gunshot wounds at the hands OF
8. M. Duncan. Eye witnesses say that 1t
was clearly case Of self. defence. Dun
can wired Sheriff MoCravy to come for
him."
Workman lived, 1t is said, about two
hours after he was ahot, although he was
shot through the lungs and head. Dun
can has two pretty bad wounds, but Drs.
W. H. and ]. w. Young, who dressed
them, and are attending him, say he will
recover. Mr.. Duncan's brother went to
Clinton in the afternoon to see that he Ia
properly cared for medically and other
wfaA.

Terrible Marine Disaster.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.-The Pacific
mail steam psip Colima was wrecked be-
tween Manxarla and Acapulco on way u,
and present indications add that over one
hundred and fifty persons perished. Only
nineteen are known to have been saved.
The Colims, was an iron vessel OF 2,90G
tons burthen. She was built by Roach,
of Philadelphia. She sailed from this
city on the 18th inst. In command Of Capt.
J. F. Taylor. There were forty cabin
passengers, thirty-six steerage passen-
and crew. News Of the disaster reached
this city through dispatch received by
the agents of the Pacific Mail Company.
One Of the steamers small boats contain
ing fourteen passengers and five Of the
crew reached the Mexican coast, and 1t
was this party that telegraphed the news
OF the wreck. Nome of the remaining
one hundred and fifty passengers and
crew have been heard Of. The names of
the passengers rescued have not been
learned. :. Z,
The boat containing the rescued men
was picked up at sea by the steamer San
Juan, north bound to this city from Gen.
tral American ports. She Immediately
put into Manzanillo. with the saved and,
according to dispatches received since, at
once went to sea again In search Of other
boats.
Immediately upon the receipt here OF
the news the Pacific Mail Company sent
dispatch to their agents at Acapulco to
send the steamer Barricott. which had
just arrived there from Pomona, to make
q thorough search for the five other boats,
which it is thought are either afloat with
passengers and crew or on the cost near
the scene Of the disaster.
The latest concerning the disaster Is q
private message which reports that there
Is possibility that several more boats
are adrift or have landed on the coast.
The disaster occurred about fifty miles
from Manzanillo, and between that port
and Punta San Telmo, bend in the South
Mexican coast. The Colima had been out
several hours when the accident occurred
to her machinery which caused her to
spring leak. She filled quickly and, 1t
being night and all the passengers having
turned in, great difficulty was encounter
ed In arousing them. Confusion and wild
disorder followed, One boat was lowered
and four swung out, but as far as Is
known the one boat was the only one
that got good distance from the ship be-
fore she went down. It was impossible
to see whether the other boats pulled
away before being sucked under by the
sinking vessel or not. All of the rescued
passengers lost their clothing and bag
gage.
