A Cav Old Preacher.

LYNCHBURG, Va, April 6.-Mon-
day Doctor George w. Carter, of
Portsmouth, well known Metho-
dist minister and aged about rs
years, and Miss Virginia Stratham,
of this city, aged about 81 years
old, went to Washington in the az
ternoon with the avowed purpose
Of marrying. Application was
made here to two Methodist min
listers to ofliciate, but each time,
owing to a ecclesiastical bar, they
were compelled to decline. This
disparity OF age has occasioned
great surprise among the friends Of
both parties to the affair. Unless
some unforeseen incident has hap
pened to prevent 1t, it ia very likely
that the couple are now married.

Another Republican Sweep.

NEWPORT, r. l., April 6.-The
election here was entirely one. sided,
although the extent Of the uneven
ness was much greater than had
been estimated by each side. The
Republicans swept everything be-
fore them, eIecting every candidate
by majority unprecedented for
many years. Neither side made
any special effort to bring out it's
vote, the Democrats especially
being apparently entirely without
interest in the contest and the
total vote fell off from last years
figures. The proposition to issue
four per cent gold bonds for $780,
600 for 80 years, was carried in a
total vote Of about 2,4O0 by a ma.
iOrity of more than 1000.

gether everything that is known about
Shakespsare's wife, her courtship, her
married life and her children, and presents
his material in popular and most fasci-

glimpse is afforded Of the family and home
