been, like Bob Acres, oozing from their

they professed themselves ready to

was the purpose of the Republican
party to make a "cowardly and dis
graceful evasion" of the money issue

lions of honest men in the country
who believed in the gold standard.
There were other millions who be

ADJOURNMENT OF THE SENATE
No Dramatic incident Marked the Close
of the Session.

Washington, June 11.-Vice-presi-
dent Stevenson brought the session of
the Senate to a final close at 4 D. m.
after brief valedictory expressing
his thanks to Senators for their
courtesies to him throughout the ses-
sion.
The closing scene was not Of The
dramatic order, but was marked by
the placid serenity characteristic of the
upper branch of Congress. The gal
leries were well filed but there was
an absence of the packed corridors
incident to an eyentful close of Con-
gress. The Senate convened at IL
o clock but no business was transacted
beyond the formalities preceding an
adjournment. Senator's Smith and
Sherman were named to make the US
ual call on the President and reported
that there were no further communica-
tions from the Chief Executive.
The last bill to be passed was one
urged by Mr. Sherman pensioning the
widow of Gen. VIM. H. Gibson, a
porminent Ohio officer.
Resolutions of thanks were unani-
mously adopted to Vice-President
Stevenson and President pro tenn.
Frye for their impartial rulings in
the chair. One of the last acts was to
give the important immigration bill
parliamentary status by which it
secures the right of way as soon as the
Senate re-assembles.
AS soon as the Vice President had
announced the session closed the gal
leries emptied, Senators exchanged
good byes and many arranged to leave
for their homes tonight.
A few moments before the hour set
for adjournment the Vice-President
raped the Senate to order and said:
Senators / am deeply touched by the
resolutions, personal to myself, adopt
ed by the Senate. 1t has been my earn
est endeavor impartially to execute
the rules prescribed for the guidance
of this body. For the aid you have so
generously given me, in the discharge
of the duties that pertain to this Of
fee, as well as for the courtesy uni
formly shown me, | am profoundly
grateful, and now, wishing each of
you a safe return to home and consti-
tuents, it only remains for me to de-
clare the first session of Fifty-Fourth
Congress adjourned without day"
The gavel descended with whack
at the last word and the session was
over. There was a stir in the galleries
as the crowd made for the exits. Sen
ators moved about, shaking hands and
bidding good-byes. Soon the Senate
chamber was deserted.

WINCHESTER MEMORIAL FUND.
Efforts Will be Made to Erect Shaft
as Well as Headstones.

Kittrell, N c., June 11.-(SpeciaD-
The Kittrell lady In charge of the
Vance county fund to mark the Win
chester graves has obtained from Mr..
r. e. Gimmer, of Richmond, Va, a
very advantageous bid on the contract
for furnishing the headstones. His
bid is to furnish, deliver and put in
place lettered headstones of native
marble, feet high by 8 inches wide, at
S1.25 each. Calculations have hereto
fore been made ON an estimate of $3.50
each. AS there are 448 graves this
means saving of $1,000, and will not
only greatly expedite the marking OF
the graves but, she hopes, also permit
the erection of shaft in addition.
Other States have erected both head
stones and shafts.
She has also arranged with Mr.. Hen
rv Blount, of Wilson to deliver in Hen
derson, for the benefit of the fund, his
famous lecture, Beyond the Alps Lies
Italy"

"A marriage somewhat out of the or
binary took place here yesterday after
noon. 1t was between Mr.. n. B. r..
Coleman, of Williamsburg, Va, and
Miss Ella Clements, of Henderson. It
seems that there was some objection on
the part of Miss Clements parents and
therefore Mr.. Coleman and his pros
pective bride took team to Franklin
ton. Miss Ida Clements, a younger
sister, knew of the arrangement and
went on the train, arriving ahead of
Mr.. Coleman. The whole party then
came over here in carriage and a
good deal of excitement was created
when the team was driven to the court
house door and Mr. Coleman and the
younger Miss Clements went into the
office of the Registrars rumors spread
that the irate father was following
close on the heels of the fleeing pair
and that trouble would perhaps ensue
much interest was manifested. How
ever, no trouble came and after pro-
curing the necessary license they went
to the Methodist parsonage and were
married by Rev. G. F. Smith and went
Immediately to Henderson.
The telephone system is very largely
patronized here and as it is connected
with Henderson it is quite n

with 25 more numbers is now being
installed.
Tobacco crops throughout this sec
ton are unusually promising.

CHAPTER LV.
HUSBAND AND WIPE.

So they are together once more
husband and wife, as of old; the lost
found, the mourned for restored unto
life.
How should / describe the felicity Of
that meeting, dashed as it WAS, too,
by self reproach on both sides! And
though the meeting with his child has
cleared him of the last fearful doubt,
it was scarce possible but that some
shade should temper the sunshine OF
that blessed hour OF reconciliation.
Nelly's hurt was but slight; she had
suffered more from fright; and they
were almost fearful how she might re-
ceive the still more sudden shock of
the wondrous news which awaited her.
But Joy rarely kills. and the following
morning that hotel neld a happier
group than it had ever, in all proba-
bility, contained since it was built.
Ida s happiness and delight was, per
haps the most pure and unmixed OF
all; for to her came no painful remln-
iscences of the past, no self-accusing
voice that, despite all present JOY,
would not cease to whisper OF the lost
time, the long, long years ofdoubt and
misery which could never be recalled.
Her father whose memory she had
been taught to worship-he was alive;
the dreary page Of her dear mothers
history was to be turned; they had q
protector, friend, an adviser; one,
too, so wondrously anu mysteriously
recognised, to whose cruel fate she had
been, as it were, the living index. He
found them, too, not III obscurity or
f11It hnrCr0
destiny worthy of him, even at the
altitude at which IN her lnnermost
heart she had been trained to set his
memory, in the heroic light In which,
had been ordained that he should be
restored to them. Oh5 the long talk,
the divine peace and Joy Of that hal
| lowed day Of reunion! how much to
tell, yet how incapable to speak it
/ they were; how anxious to veil each
the sufferings and trials they had I'M
dergone; how eager to avoid aught
which could reflect upon or wound one
another! How mainly sentences begun,
to end but in abrupt silence, gazing
into each others features, pitying
each others grlefs, thanking God
yoiceIessly for his browning mercy aft
er the weary probation.
Nelly had begged to be spared all
visits that day. She was, indeed, I'M
equal to it; but, not to speak Of the
less worthy inducement OF curiosity,
which vague, floating rumors had
aroused, there were, OF course, many
eager to offer congratulations on her
providential escape, and Ida was
fully occupied in seeing them, and
answering their kind inquiries.
She had looked anxiously for Ton,
who had disappeared the previous
night the moment he heard that no
unfavorable results we're to be antici-
D tied from the accident; but the day

THROUGH A BRIDGE.
Horrible Street Car Accident
at Victoria, B. G.
sixty-one Bodies Recovered Middle
Span Gave Way.

Victoria, B. c., May PA terrible ac-
cident occurred yesterday. A sham fight
and review was to take place at Macau-
ley Point near Esquimault this afternoon
and crowds were making their way by
every route. All the tram cars were
packed. Two cars left Government
street, with more than 100 people. The
first got safely over Point Ellice bridge,
which crosses Victoria Arm, but when
the other was about half way over the
middle span of the bridge, about $50 feet
in length, gave way and the car
plunged into the water some 100 feet
below. The car was completely sub
merged and all on board, fifty or more,
were drowned with the exception of some
of those who, standing. on the platform,
and who, escaping injury from falling
timbers, managed to save themselves by
using the ruins of the bridge and thus
got ashore. Many bodies have already
been gotten up and the work of identif-
cation is proceeding. 1t is a difficult
matter as great many of the bodies are
those of visitors By nightfalI sixty
one bodies had been recovered.
When the bridge broke there were sew
eral carriages on the bridge and thes
were also precipitated into the water.
Supt. Wilson was driving one of these
and had his five children with him. He
the children. The fifth, a little boy,
was wedged between iron bars and was
drowned.
The affair has cast deep gloom over
the city. AS soon as the news of the
accident reached Macauley the review
was brought to a speedy terminate
The sham fight was abandoned.
