The maria geof Mrs. Amelie Rives Chanler
to Prince Pierre Troubetzkoy OF Russia
took place yesterday afternoon at Castle
Hill, the ancestral home of the famous
writer of the "Quick or the Dead and
other once popular romances.
The maria sc OF Mrs. Amelie Rives Chanler
was not a surprise to most society folks,
who knew OF the attachment and wooin g
of the Russian noblenlan, who now claims
the accomplished and beautiful Virginian
as his wife.
The romance, which ended in the quiet
marriage yesterday, began in London,
where the prince has handsome residence,
and is otherwise reputed to be as wealthy
as the traditional Russian prince of the
novels. Mrs. Riyes Chanler has spent
most OF her time abroad, and has been held
in high esteem for her talents and beauty
!! in English society.
Among her many admirers the prince has
drawn the prize. The marriage was sol
eniniZed. In the presence of only few
friends, the ceremony having been per
formed by the Rev. DR.. Paul l.. Mcneil, OF
Richmond In addition TO the members OF
the family there were present Miss Julia
Magruder, the authoress, and Mr.. Allen

The prince went in person for his mar
riage license, accompanied by Mr.. Potts,
to Charlottesville. They then drove out to
Castle Hill, where the marriage ceremony
was held.
The honeymoon will be passed at Castle
Hill, with the father of the bride, Col.
Alfred l.. Rives, as host. The only regret
to the many friends of the bride, is that she
will make her permanent home in Lon don.

PATRIOTISM TOLD
In TUNEFUL SONG
Daughters of the Revolution Met
in Social Session.
Addresses illustrated with Music
Were the Unique Feature OF the
Evenings Proceedings.

Probably there never has been a conyen-
ton of women which did not arrange for
pleasure as ia ctor of some particular part
of the programme.
Last nights session OF the fifth annual
congress of the National Society of the
Daughters OF the Revolution did not include
anything else. II was given over entirely
to social features; and simply told, it was a
really grand affair.
The rostrum of the Church of Our Father
had been temporarily enlarged into a spa
cious stage, and was embellished with
bunting and evergreens, with incandescent
lights peeping out from openings in the
foliage. The red, white and blue adorned
the gallery rail as being the chief article
of decoration, hanging in graceful festoons
here and there throughout the church.
Pretty girls from all sections of the
country acted as ushers and fair Virginian
served programs, all being attired in even
Ing costumes. Every seat, down stairs and
up, was taken, and the aisles being filled
with chairs, did not, even then, accom-
nodate the multitude whiCh pressed into
the church. Many had to stand, and the
newspaper men were among these. The
tables they had used in the daytime we're
put in the rear and used as seats.
SOCIAL FEATURE PREVAILED.
1t was an occasion of fashionable out
pouring. Full dress, with both women and
men, prevailed.
Upon the stage were seated those who

that the efforts OF Miss Clara Barton, presi-

SIX PERSONS PERIsHED.
Fire in Columbus Residence Yesterday Several Narrow Escapes From Death An Explosion of Natural Cas-


 An Explosion of Natural Cas-
 Columbus, O., Jan. 2.-Six deaths are the result of a mysterious fire that oc- cured at 4:30 o'clock at the residence of John H. Hubbard at 1898 East Long street. The dead are; John H. Hubbard. Mrs. John H. Hubbard, Mrs Charles Lee, aged tWenty-two, Brownsville, O.; Miss Fay Hubbard, aged nineteen, Browns vile, O.; Dorothy Hubbard, aged three years; Allen Hubbard, aged five years. Mrs. Lee and Miss Hubbard ot Brownsville are sisters of MT. Hib- bard, and were spending the holidays 1 with their brother. Dorothy and Allen Hubbard are children of John IT. Hb- i bard.
 Beside these unfortunate people there l were in the house at the time Annie Bell, colored servant, and four other children of the Hubbard family, namely | Webster, Wilber, John and Hinton, ! whose ages averaged from eight to four l teen years. They all escaped by jump i ing from second story window. i Annie Bell suffered a fracture of one ankle, and Walter Hubbard sprained both ankles. The others were not in- | jured.
 The house is a large modern frame structure of two stories and an attic in height, and was heated with natural gas by means of a furnace. The fire l probably resulted from an explosion of natural gas. The walls of the house ! remained intact, and the house was not ! badly burned.
 l Annie Bell says she was awakened { by a sense of choking and found her 1 room full of smoke. She tried to run i to the part of the house where the fam | fly was sleeping, but the hall was so ! full of smoke she could not do it. and returning to her room raised the win 1 dow and jumped to the ground, about l twenty feet. Then she saw MT. Hib- ! bard at the window of the room where some of his children were sleeping. He 1 dropped the four boys out and then fell, evidently overcome by the smoke. His 1 body was found with arms stretched across the window sill just as he fell after dropping Webster Hubbard on the ground.
 All the six bodies were found in the same room. They had evidently aWak- ened and ran there to escape and were ! suffocated. The bodies were all burned l beyond recognition.
 1 A neighbor who was awakened bN { the screams of Annie Bell, called the l fire department, and it was the work 1 of but a few minutes to extingush the flames.
 The family went to the residence of 1 Thomas Huntington to spend New Years evening. It was about Il o'clock ! when they returned home. and at once retired. Mir. Hubbard was well known business man, and was the secretary and manager of the Central Ohio Nat ural Gas and Fuel company, which con' trols the natural gas supply here. It { is a remarkable fact that man So familiar with natural gas should him. self fall a victim to an accident re- sulting from it's use.

century more. if left unmolested, and land is so cheap in Washington that no one will ever covet the plot,
 Many regard the description of Eli za's escape across the drifting ice, from Kentucky to Ohio and freedom, the strongest part Of the story. As will b. remembered, Eliza, who was an octo- room, white as her mistress, fled from the plantation of Colonel Shelby, taking her four-year-old boy Harry with her, She had overheard her master say that he had sold the boy, together with 'Un- cle Tom," to a slave trader.
 EIIZA'S MIDNIGHT FLIGHT.
 Almost crazy with anguish, she took her boy in her arms, and fled at mid night, over the frosty ground. All night she travelled, arriving at length at the rivers brink, only to find the ferry talk en off because of the flow of ice rushing down the flood. While resting she was overtaken by the slave trader and his negro companions, and, without a mo ments hesitation. ran to the river 5 brink and dashed out upon the churn- ing ice, still holding her baby strained to her breast. Despite the awful dan ger, falls, gashes from the rough ice and yawning chasmS, she at length ar lived on the Ohio side, and was drawn up the bank by kind-hearted farmer, who directed her to place of safety. ! The Shelby plantation, where Uncle Tom and Eliza lived, still exists in Ken lucky, a few miles from Washington. Miss Beecher visited the place, and the scenes described are those seem by her during her visit. The point where Eli ga reached the Ohio is at South Ripley, now on the Chesapeake and Ohio. Old man Van Tromp's house, where Eliza was succored. is still standing on the brow of the hill, above the town of Rip ley, and is known as the Bradley place. It is an old-fashioned farmhouse with overhanging porch. The place is full of "reminiscences Of the Underground, '' as the route taken by fugitive slaves was then called. The name Van Tromp is given to the actual Van Zant, who was known all over Ohio as a promi- nent abolitionist.
 ! The episode of crossing the river on the fee actually occurred. It was widely recorded at the time. Eliza was drawn from life, and the girl was an inmate of Mrs. Stoves own household, her male relatives acting the part of guar dians while the girl fled from pursuing myrmidons from Kentucky, who oper- ated under the fugitive slave law. It has pleased Mrs. Stowe to lay many of 1 the scenes of her story and all of that portion relating to Little Eve in New Orleans. Still the original material fol all of these scenes was secured in Ma son county, Kentucky.
 The old Key home is to-day occupied by Colonel Keys nephews. Many of the houses are over one hundred years old Among the oldest is the old frame house which was the birthplace of the famous Confederate general. Al. bert Sydney Johnson
