Two Hearts as One.

The Rock Hill Herald of last Saturday
contained the following account of the
marriage of one Of Anderson's young citi.
Zens:
Old Ebenezer has lost one of her lowell
eat young women, and one of Andersons
noble sons has thereby found queenly
bride. Last Wednesday evening the king
of the winds ar6 waters lashed this earth
in his mighty rage, and outside was all
wet and gloomy. But the pretty little
Presbyterian Church at Ebenezer was
scene of loveiness aud light and joy, for
this was the place and this the time when
Miss Macca, the lovabe daughter Of Mrs.
M. A. and the late DR.. E. It. Avery, was to
be welded to Mr.. Richard c. Laughlin, of
Anderson.
The dreary moan OF the winds and the
chilling patter Of the wintry rain on the
roof was hushed in the grand melody of
Meldelssohn's wedding maj ch, beautifully
wedding party arrived at the Church at
half-past seven o'clock. The ushers
Messrs. E. Ladsden Mobley and F. Blair
Crayton, of Rock Hill, T. McIver Hughes,
of Fort Mill, and DR.. Weightstill Avery,
brother of the bride, preceded the atten.
dants and marched to the pulpit, whose
clerical coldness was hidden meath mass
or choicest flowers. After the ushers came
the bridesmaids, Misses Luta Fewell, Of
Ebenezer, aud Mary Thornwell. of Fort
Mill, and Misses Ella Avery, of Ebenezer,
sister of the bride, and Locke Crawford,
of Lancaster. The bridesmaids looked
lovely In their costumes of white organdie
over blue. In their hands they carried
they were met by the groomsmeD, Messrs.
J. E. Norment, of Darlington, A. E King,
Of Columbia, J. e. M Childs, of Pelzer,
and G. Fl. Greene, of this city. Following
these were the maid of honor, Miss Aline
Mobley. of Rock Hill, and the dame Of
honor, Mrs. w. Stewart Heath, of Lancas-
ter. Miss Mobley was attired In hand
some costume of blue taffeta silk and Mrs.
Heath in white brocaded satin, both car
ry'ng LaFrance roses.
then entered the bride, on the arm Of
her brother, DR.. s. DeLeon Avery, Of
Baltimore Never did she look lovelier
than at this happy moment, her costume
Of exquisite white satin and the bouquet
of brides roses which she carried adding
effect to her natural grace and beauty. In
groom, attended by Mr.. G. Keys. Of An.
white doves, beautiful floral conception,
symbolical of peace and purity and love,
be took the ring from the salver carried
by Master Ivy Avery, nephew of the bride,
while the brides beloved pastor, Rev: j.
81. Thornwell, D. D In most beautiful
and impressive service pronounced the
words which made the loving hearts one
forever.
Immediately after the ceremony the
historic home of the bride was opened to
reception to the bridal party, and the
winds without vled with the music and
mirth within. but their striving was in
vain, for happiness triumphed
Mr. and Mrs. Laughlin boarded the
midnight train for Columbia and thence
they go to Nashville for visit, after which
they will make their home in Anderson.

his enemy's movements. With perfect calm
he commanded that his troops should be

orders for the divisions to march with
view to concentration at Nivelles tho east
ernmost point that he intended to occupy;
at 10, just as he was setting out for the
Duchess of Richmond's ball, he gave def

WRITES ON HIS PALM.
How . Deaf, Dumb and Blind Man Com.
municates with the World.


Samuel Moses says he's glad he's living
Many of us in his place would be little
doubtful. But Samuel, at the age of 45,
seems happy, II he Is deaf and dumb and
blind. In his ward in the almshouse on
BLACKWELL island he gets what's necessary
to I've and little besides
If he were unable to talk, he might be
less pleased with life's prospects. But,
though dumb, he can talk, for, though
blind, he can write, and by one of the three
senses yet left to him he can feel the PEN
manship of Others
Trace in writing on the palm of his
hand with pencil like stick whatever
you want to say to him and he will under
stand. His reply he writes, as any one else
might, on slate. If he has several lines
to write, he places two rows of pasteboard
strips an inch wide from the bottom Of the
slate up The edge of the topmost Is his
ruler. Finishing the line, he takes of the
upper strip and another line is ready for
use. He holds out his right palm for the
visitor to write upon, and usually places
his left hand on the right of the visitor to
aid in understanding what is written.
When he doesn't comprehend, he rubs the
fingers of the left hand over the right
palm, as If to erase the words as he would
with slate
He writes more rapidly than nine out OF
ten men who can see His command of
English Is more than fair, and his vocabu-
larry is surprisingly large The tracing of
words on his palm is his own device, which
he has used for nearly ten years. New

TRAIN WREcKERs CONFESS
Relieved to be Also Responsible for the
Cahsba Bridge Horror.

. Jhu8uk RriuBc
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. 5.-Four Of the
five train wreckers in jail here yesterday
confessed to the formation Of the plot to
wreck and rob the Southern railway fest
express from Washington in the McComb's
trestle, twelve miles east of the city, on
the night of Dec 10, and this confession
leads to the belief that the same gang re-
moved the rail which wrecked the Birm-
ingham Mineral train at Cahaba river
bridge, causing the death Of 'twenty-six
people and injuring eleven others, on Dec
81, although those under arrest are as yet
silent as to this wreck,
Last week five negroes, Andrew Feagin,
Tom Ingram, Tom Parker, Emanuel Bill
ings and Rome Scalp, were arrested by
deputy sheriffs and railroad detectives on
a confession of one of the number. All
were miners at Henry Ellen, near Nc
Combs trestle. Yesterday all but Feagin
confessed Parker, who did most Of the
talking, says that Feagin was the leadeI
of the plot, that he proposed the wreckiss
of trains one night at dance as goo
scheme by which to get Christmas money
and that the five agreed to engage in the
work, with the understanding that those
who failed to stand to the agreement
should be killed by the oGhers.
The details of the plot, which failed
correspond with those of the CahabG
wreck, and the officers are convinced that
they have the men who are responsible foI
the bridge disaster.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 5.-The rumor that the
Rev. D. J. o Council will be made bishop
of Wilmington has crystallized into what
is now regarded q certainty in Catholic
clerical circles in this city. Several month";

against the propaganda growing out OF
his departure from the American college
in Rome and had, it is said, the financial
backing of a Baltimore lady. His appoint
ment to tho see Of Wilmington will, 1t il
surmised, cause him to withdraw his 40
ton against the propaganda.
