DEAD ON HER WEDDING NIGHT.
Trngio End Of a Qualification Following
the Marriage.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16-Patrick Dom
ahue and Annie Moss were bride and
bridegroom Thursday afternoon. At 4
o'clock there was a quiet little wedding In
st. Patrick's church, Twentieth and Lo-
Gust streets, aftera courtship Of two years,
and they became husband and wife. Yes
terday the police were notified that Annie
was dead, and now POrick is in prison
pending an investigation.
The young woman was found dead in
bed at her home at 2119 Darien street,
which bad been prepared in advance. Her
husband, who had drank considerably at
the wedding jolliication, says he watched
his wife divest herself Of her wedding
dress. He sat in a chair near her and saw
her put the dress in q closet. Then he
says he fell asleep. Later he awoke, but
could not see his wife. He searched for
her in the rooms in the upper part of the
house, but could not find her. Finally he
discovered her lying on the floor at the
foot of the stairs.
Her face was black, and there were sew
eral discolorations on the neck, but the
husband says she was still alive. Thinking
that she a merely sustained slight in
juries by a fall down tho stairs of the new
house, with which she was not acquainted,
he picked her up and placed her on the
bed in their room. Then he lay down bo-
side her and fell asleep. When he awoke
she wa dead, and he gave the alarm, The
police are inclined to believe his story.

No district in America presents, during the
Winter season, so many varied attractions as
the State Of Florida. Besides its delightful
climate, which to one escaping from the cold
and unhealthful changes of the North seems
almost ethereal, it is pre-eminently a land of
sport and pleasure, Along its eleven hundred
miles of saltwater coast and in its twelve
hundred fresh-water lakes are fish of almost
every conceivable variety, from the migra-
tory tribes common to Northern waters to the
tarponl pompanoi and others of a more
tropical character. NOWhcre in all our broad
land can The angler find a greater variety of
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer, turkeys, bears, panthers,
and wild cats roam at large through the more
sparsely settled regions, while birds of all
kinds may be found in abundance through
out the State. The more novel sport of al
llgatOr and manatee hunting may also be in
dulged in by the more adventurous tourist.
With its matchless climate, its orange
groves, its rivers and lakes, its boating and
bathing, its fishing and hunting, and its
extensive forests, Florida presents unTlyaled
attractions for the valetudiuariau, the lover
of nature, the sportsman and the explorer.
To this attractive state the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has arranged four per
soua~lly-cOuduUted tours during the season of
1897, leaving by special train january 26,
February @ and 23, and March %. The first
three tours will admit of = ]soiouru of two
weeks i'm this delightful land: tickets for the
fourth tour will be valid 90 return until May
81 by regular trains.
Rates for the round trip, 5000 from New
York, $500 from Philadelphia, and proper
tiOn3te rates uUm other points.

ton, apply TO ticket agents, special booking

The fact that the aspiration of a
candidate for the United States
Senate is fou ded solely upon his
merit is one whici should of itself
attract the friendship and favor of
every man who is inspired with a
worthy ambition for wider
sphere of noble and us -ful ae-
ton. The members of the State
Legislature cannot well afford to
deal hastily or slightingly with
such candidate, nor fail
to realize the honor which would
rebound to themselves and to Cal
ifornia in the choice of such a
Senator. Let it therefore not be
forgotten that the friends of
Samuel NJ. Shortridge base their
claim to the favora BILE considera-

fords to the opponents of the measure a
reasonable ground for advocating delay in
consideration of the measure until
California can be heard by her representa-
tives and make clear the interests which
she has at stake.
Taken as a whole the resolutions are
wise, conservative and statesmanlike.
There is not word in them which any
one would care to have eliminated. They
ask as much as the State has right to
expect and no more. They request moth
ing which is not as much to the interests
of the whole Nation as to California.
They can be cordially supported by all
members of Congress who are not advo-
Gates of relieving the Pacific roads from
their liabilities to the Government and
acknowledging that the Republic of the
United States is not strong enough TO en-
force its laws against defaulting corpora

The Legislature is to be commended for
its promptness in passing the resolutions
The vigor which it has displayed by so
doing will have as much weight as the
resolutions themselves. Certainly il Ike
funding bill is passed no blame can be
laid on those who have been elected to
guard the interests of the State and look
after its welfare. They have acted with
wisdom and with promptness, and this IS
the full measure OF the duty imposed upon
them.

The Sixteenth-s Improvement Club
held meeting last night 1909 Sixteenth

merchants and property-owners along
Sixteenth street for the purpose of further
interesting them in the extension of the
work OF the club. The present pdrpose is
10 have more arc lights UP and down the

substitute bitumen, but that is an object
not SO easily attainable.
The com mlttee consists of Thomas 0.

During this week five more arc lights,
suspended midway of the thoroughfare,
will be placed on Sixteenth street, be-
tween Valencia and Guerrero.
Next Sunday forenoon the club will

ball, the date of which will at that time
be decided upon by the Turn Verein. The
proposition IS for the Turn Verein to

FARM INDUSTRIES.

The hearing before the Ways and Means
Committee on Tuesday was one of the
most interesting of the session. The sub
ject under consideration was protection
for the agricultural industries of the coun-
try, and the attendance before the COM
mittee gave ample proof that the farmers
have learned from the depression OF the
last four years the importance of protec-
ton to their general welfare.
One of the gratifying features of the
hearing was the fact that all sections OF
the country were represented. Testimony
was given to the committee by men from
Pennsylvania, Kansas, California, Vir-
ginia New York, Connecticut South Caro-
lima, Michigan, Massachusetts and Ari-
IONA. The industries represented were
stock-raising, fruit-growing, cotton, mar
ket gardening, hay-growing, rice culture
raisin production, horticulture, wool,
era and the hop industry.
From the evidence submitted to the
committee, it appears that every one Of
these agricultural industries has been in
juriously affected by the Democratic tariff
All sections of the country have suffered,
