SETTLED BY MARRIAGE.
Paul Gndsden and Mary Devenux,
COIOrcd. Adjusted Differences.

A wedding ceremony was performed
yesterday by Justice Warlng Russell. Jr..
that made as one Mary Deveaux and Paul
Gadsden, colored.
The marriage was not celebrated in the
usual style, and no invitations had been
sent out. Nor did the couple receive the
congratulations OF a host of friends. In
fact, the groom might have resented any
well-wishers' rendering their pleasant
words, as the nuptials did not result from
any seeking on his part
Mary took the initiative, and by war
dant. placed Paul Ia a position where the
only way for him to get out Of a difficulty
was to invite the good offices Of hymen.

Matters of Interest in Savannah and
Elsewhere.
The Central railroad train arriving here
yesterday afternoon brought in a large
crowd from Tennille, Midwife. Davisboro
and intermediate points. The occasion
was an excursion rate to Tybee The
tickets will be good for several days, and
the crowd expects to spend a pleasant
time on the island.
The railroads have announced a rate of
one fare for the round trip to Washington.
Richmond and Norfolk from points in the
southeastern territory. Tickets will be
sold Aug. Il, 10 and II and will be good
returning, for fifteen days. The Florida
Central and Pennsular and the Plant sys-
TEN expect that this cheap rate will in
duce a great deal of travel 1t is to be on
Just when the merchants are making
their trips to the eastern markets to pur-
chase their winter stocks. Those profit
ing by the cheap rate will, it is expected
be formed largely of these merchants BY
them the reduction in fare will probably
be looked upon with great favor Though
New York is the market to which many
will go and the rate is not made to that
city, the reduction will still represent a
considerable saving to passengers for the
metropolis. From the terminal points of
the rate to New York, the fare will be
comparatively small. The roads will ad-
vertise the rate extensively and put in a
strong bid for big traffic
A special excursion rate of 81 for the
round trip has been authorized by the
Central railroad from Eufaula, Columbia,
Fort Gaines and intermediate points to
Fort Valley to Tybee, on Aug. 16. Tick,
cts will be good returning till Aug. q. The
success of the excursion run from Co.
lumbus and Alabama points some time
ago by the Central bids fair to be
eclpsed by this.
President H. NJ. Conner of the Central
railroad will not go to Atlanta this week
as he expected TO confer with the bridge

garding the Alabama street crossing. Du-
ties in Savannah will keep him here, but

the event the rent is not paid the de-
PENDANTS bondsmen will be sued. The
road was leased by the state by author
ity of a legislative act empowering the
governor to either sell or lease the prop
erty. Richards came along and secured
a lease on the road. The $4,000 a year
rental was to be paid quarterly. and this
for long time was done. The quarter
ending in March did not bring the check
for the rent, and the sixty days grace
still found it wanting. The road was

A Novel Canal.

Chicago, March 6.-Bernard Jacoby, a
Chicago Frenchman, has designed a
novel feature for the Paris exposition in
1900, the plans for which were passed
upon favorably by Count julien de
Maurice, the commissioner recently in
this country. Mr.. Jacoby calls his pro-
posed structure lie Canal Aquarium eleve,
or the Elevated Canal Aquarium. 1t
will consist of an elevated canal mile
or more in length in which electric boats
may carry passengers from point 10
point, and in which also may be seen
rare displays of fishes of all kinds.
Promenades will be run along the banks
of the canal, properly lighted at night,
and furnishing an inviting place to
pie eAsure seekers. Underneath the
structure, which is supported by massive
columns, are cafes and resting places,
and if the whole is built as pictured by
Mr.. Jacoby, it will be one of the great
attractions of the fair.

SPRANG A SENSATION.

The Teachers Convention Given Rare
Treat by the Episcopaiian Clergyman
The Rev. P. H. Hickman treated the
teachers conv ention to treatise llttle
out of the regular line this morning. AS
soon as the paper and discussion on
"Child Study" had been concluded, the
reverend gentleman asked for an oppor-
tunity to say few words, and his request
being complied with, he proceeded to
say them The criticism-for that is
what it amounted to-was severe and ex-
haustive, and along a line entirely for
eign to the subject in hand. He made a
subject. He criticised the ventilation in
our public schools. He exposed the
state of immortality and imbecility of the
pupils of the grades and showed how it
was all due to the insufficiency of the
methods employed He deplored the
absence of the bible in the public schools
and criticised our crude pronunciations.
In fact he SO comprehensively reviewed
and criticised everything that only a
hasty and timely retreat at the close of
the speech saved the speaker from the
storm of protestatlons and counter criti.
cisms that followed. The teachers were
much disturbed and the number of
mispronounced words in the gentleman's S
address were carefully extricated and
rehearsed as comforting solace. The
distraction was refreshing.
The exercises of the association open.

A NOCTURNAL BLAZE.
The Office of the New Delano Mill Goes up
- in Smoke and Flames.

The Office of the New Delano Mill Goes up
= in Smoke and Flames.
A fire broke out this morning at 3
o'clock and completely gutted the new
brick office building of the Delano mill.
The loss was probably $4,000.
The office building was one of the first
to be completed of the group of mill
buildings now in course OF constructio n
at the mouth of Boulder canon, and in
consequence all the plans and papers
were stored there. The cost of the build.
ing itself was only about $500, but the
quantity of assay stores and chemicals
kept there was considerable.
The fire is supposed to have originated
in the assay furnace room. The furnace
it is said,was improperly constructed, as
the wood work surrounding was INSULT,
GENTLY protected from the heat. 1t was
very easy matter for the heat radiating
from the furnace to ignite the wood
which was only few feet away.
The alarm was turned in at about 3 a
m. an: the companies responded prompt.
ly, but as the mill is some distance be-
vond the city limits, the nearest water
plug was $500 feet away, and all the
available hose amounted to less than
1,5oo feet. Additional hose was sent for
but it didn't arrive in time, the building
being entirely gutted by half past four.
The office building stood about $50 feet
from the nearest building and in the alb.
sence of wind none of the remainder
were threatened at any time.
Mr.. Rothwell, the representative of the
company, has informed the principals at
Denver and they will be up tonight to
look over the structure.
The construction of the work is being
carried on by the Stearns-Rogers Co
and the office, though occupied by the
Delano representative, was, probably, not
accepted by that company. as it had been
completed but two or three days.
The building was amply covered by
insurance and will be reconstructed i'm
mediately.

MEETING OF THE cHEss-PLAyERs.
A Russian Boy-Playcr interests the
Students of the Great Game.

The weekly meeting of the chess-players
Of the city at the Powhatan Club last
night was a particularly interesting one
because Of the introduction of jacob Bllli-
koff. a little Russian about Is years DID,
who is already an apt and brilliant player,
and who bids fair to develop into phe-
nomenal chess-player Last night ne
PLAYED two games with DR.. Meyer, III
which he exhibited wonderful tact ana
strategy. -
Billikoff Is Of Hebrew extraction, and
is a child of the steppes. He came 10
Richmond with his parents some TWO or
three years ago. speaking only ms native
tongue-Russian. His father entered MIN IN
one Of the public schools OF the city,
where. or account OF MS yout1, ne wass
assigned to the primary class. But JACOB
did not remain long in that class, for after
bein.z a few days at school he astonlshed
his teacher by demonstrating dlfncult
geometric problem It was then developer
that he was put to school chlefly tnat ne
might learn English. and that In many
respects he was more highly proncient
than the average American boy OF ~.
Yang Billikoff comes Of good slavic
stock. His uncle is professor IN a uni
yersity near Moscow, and II was from MN
that the Toy drew his stock OF learning.
A casual observer would see In this
young Sav only an ordinary chllui put
one who studies his face Will be Impressed
by the broad, noble brow; the deeply-set'
thoughtful eyes, and the massive lorna,
ton OF his lower face. At the chess-poard
be sits like n figure wrought or stone
hearing nothing and seeing nothing, an
sorbed In the progress OF the game lie
has the habit Of tapping. softly. nolseie tso
ly on the margin Of the table with tne
thumb OF his left hand, while nus risnt
hand grasps his cheek with a rigid mo- mo-
tionIess touch He is ever silent; ana
only compliments his opponent AFTER a
good move by a smile. in which there Is
neither merriment nor laughter, but Is
merely a dropping Of the chin ana me-
chanlcal opening OF the mouth.
DR.. Meyer and Mr.. Wallace, and the
other gentlemen who have seen young
Bilikoff play think he will develop into
a great player and perhaps may some day
rival his fellow-cOuntrymen, Tschigorin
and steinitz. and emphasize the fact that.
as Greece bred sculptors, so Russia breeds
chess-Dlayers.
The Young Russian will probably here
after be seen regularly at the Fowhatan
Club. which is beginning now TO be tne
focus TO which the attention OF whist ana
chess-players Is directed.
