Tho ,arenoonv which united eX-Sccretary
y,-uiian, q whitney and Mrs. Edith May
Randolph at Bar Harbor. Me-, Is subject
of great interest in this city, where both
are so well known. Few pubic
men have approached Mr' Nhi,-
ney I'm local popularity here WINE
the very mention or MS nome
and his first wife recalls period OF such
delightful and elegant hospitality the IKE
of which the capital has never known
before and which has been seldom at
tempted since. Mr.. Whitney has been a
v.idower since February s. 1888. His at
tentions TO any lady since started al
once rImors of his matrimonial inten-
tions. but last spring the news Of M
engagement 10 Mrs Randolph first gained
credence. Notwithstanding the denials IL
was generally understood that the rumor
was true. and so the intimate circle or
friends here. especially from among the
Bar Harbor contingent. were not entirely
surprised by the announcement OF the
contemplated wedding to-day.
Mrs. Randolph is q daughter Of the
late DR.. May. OF this city. The latter
died only a few years ago. Mrs. Kan
dolph spent her girlhood in New No'k
city. where the family then resided, and
with her younger sister. Carrie who was
first engaged 10 marry James bOfuoh
Bennett. and afterward became Mrs.
William Wright. were bellies in society.
Mrs Randolph is handsome woman, as
she was "a beautiful girl. Her husband.
NOW ten years dead. was Captain Arthur
Randolph. OF East Court. Wiltshire. Eng.
She lived abroad during her husbands
lifetime and since that period In New
York city. so that she is less known 10
Washington society than iher sisters.
Mrs Carrie May Wright, Mrs. J. Beaver
Webb. and Miss May. Or William May,
OF this city. and Mr.. Fred May are her
brothers. Mrs. May ST., lives in this city
during the winter and in Bar Harbor I'm
GUNNER. where Mrs. Randolph has also a
summer home.
Mr.. Whitney's bride IS a brilliantly
handsome brunette. and is known socially
as a woman with all the ability Of a
leader. She IS devoted 10 music. Her
charitable work has been in the line Of
helm TO the poorer class OF shop girls.
The ex-cecretary's mansion in New York
IS on Fifty-seventh street. around which
the homes OF so many millionaircs are
clustered. The early days of their honey
moon will be spent either In Bar Harbor
or It's vicinity. or at LenoX. where Mr..
Harry Payne Whitney and his bride stay
ed several weeks after their marriage.

The most careful inquiry confirms your
cOrrespondent's belief that the Republi-

currency Sunday that the POpulists ana
Democrats would fuse on Guthrie for
Governor. Republicans assert tha, they
have heard leading Democrats aud
Populists talk Of this pan, but there
is not the least proof OF II. The plain
declaration of Democratic State-Chairman
Manly is that there is not a word
Of truth in II. II Is safe TO say that
there will be no further change in the
tickets. The Democrats would not agree
10 fuse on anything save the electoral
ticket.

shared seats with each other. The in

NEW YORK, September g. The saale,
which arrived at the bar at 1906 this
morning, grounded on the edge Of Flynn's
Knoll after rounding the southwest spit.
Her engines were reversed and kept
working full speed astern, and at o'clock
she slipped off into the channel without
assistance and uninjured. She was in
charge of a pilot at the time. and he
says that after turning the spit mist
obscured the range lights. The ship was
farther to the eastward than he thought
when she touched Flynn's Knoll, and re-
fused to obey her helm and went aground

Trouble Brewing Among Members Of the

There is trouble in the French Benevo-

Der in good standing, has instituted suit,
and for cause of action states certain facts.
1t is claimed that on March 1st the annual
election was held under the Australian bal.
lot system, but the ballots did not conform
to the requirements of the bylaws in that
they did not have a margin on the right
hand side as required. There were 1853
ballots taken from the ballot book and &C.
counted for, l61 being cast and two re-
turned to the election board as defaced by
voter. After the polls closed. however,
seven more ballots were by some one torn
from the ballot b >ok, and whether the same
were voted or not the plaintiff is unable to
state as the records are In the hands Of the
defendants.

MARSHALL'S FAREWELL
The Well Groomei Burglar Sentenced for Five !
Years

The Well Groomei Burglar Sentenced for Five
Years
j. Marshall, the ''gentleman" burglar,
made graceful adieus in Judge McKinley's
department yesterday previous to his re-
tirement to San Quentin for the term of
five years. At least that is the present ar
rangement, although it is by no means cer-
tain that he will not be accorded new
trial.
Previous to the passing of sentence At
torney Davis raised several interesting
points of law in arguing on his motion for
a new trial. He contended that the law
plainly set forth how the previous offenses
of a defendant should be presented to a
jury. The defendant, in the case under
advisement, had himself acknowledged
while on the witness stand that he had
been previously convicted of felony.
Right then the terms of the law were full.
flied, and when the district attorney in
troduced his Colorado record and exam
ined the defendant regarding IT he was
acting in direct opposition to the plain lam
euage Of the statute, and could only have
done so for the purpose of prejuiicing the
minds of the Jury.
The other interesting point touched upon
by Mr.. Davis was IN drawing the attention
OF the court to what he pronounced fatal
defect in the complaint. 1t was therein
stated that Marshall entered and burglar
lied the rooms of MRS I. E. Ro ran,'' in
direct contravention of the law which
specifically states that the rights of the
wife vesting in the husband. the rooms
were his, and he is the one who ought to
have figured in the complaint.
The court did not appear to think much
ot the arguments advanced, and, denying
the motion. sentenced Marshall to five
years imprisonment at San Quentin.
stay of execution was granted pend
