TANDEM RIDES THEN A WEDDING.
Mr.. Lucius Palmer and Miss Marie
Fry Took Trip to Carolina.

A romantic marriage, in which two we'll
known young people of Savannah were the
bride and groom, took place in South Car
DINA yesterday afternoon. Miss Marie
Fry and Mr.. Lucius Palmer left savan-
nah on the noon train. and were married
a. Ridgeland, on the Charleston and Sa-
vannah railroad.
It was not a case Of love laughing at
locksmiths." for the parents and friends
Of the young people never dreamed Of such
a thing as their marrying, at least, not
at the present time. They have been
friends for several years, and have seen
a great deal of each other Mr.. Palmer
was a frequent visitor at Miss Frys home
and the young compile were often together
Tandem rides We're frequent and the
close friends of the youthful pair knew
there was a close affection between them,
but they are both so young that such
thing as marriage was not considered for
a moment
The runaway couple returned ON the
Charleston train last night, and were met
at the depot by the family of the bride
and several intimate friends of the groom.
The bride was taken in charge of by her
family and went TO her home, while Mr..
Palmer went away with a friend.
Miss Fry is the daughter of Mrs. Sarah
r. Fry, and the granddaughter of Mr.
Samuel J. Whiteside. She is very pref

MANY FAILED TO RETURN TAXES
The Last Day for Returning state
and County Taxes 81 Busy One.

The Last Day Tor returning state
and County Taxes "a Busy One.
Capt. John r. Dillon, receiver of tax re-
turns. closed his big books yesterday for
the year.
There are more taxpayers who failed to
return their taxes this year than has been
shown on the closing day for a long time
This is due to nothing more than care
lessness, or Indifference, perhaps, on the
part of the taxpayers. Capt. Dillon said
to the Morning News yesterday that he
doesn't think there will be any great dit
ference between the aggregate sum of
taxes returned this year in comparison
with the returns of former years, but he
says that there have been many more
left off the lists this year than last They
will probably rush 20 make their returns
on the double tax basis. But, for some
reason they have stayed away from the
returning place UP to date
Yesterday being the last day for the
books to remain open, there was a rush
to tho receivers Office. and busy day en-
sued. 1T has not yet been calculated by
the tax receiver just how much the sum
total Of taxes returned has been for the
year. 1t will require three or four days
for this to be correctly ascertained.

In view of the local color that has recent
ly been given the Nicaraguan canal ques-
ton by the probability of Savannahian
being one of the commission to be appoint
ed by the President, it is of interest to
know something about the proposed great
canal
The cost of construction has been esti-
mated hitherto at $4,000, 900. or about that.
A commission was sent there from this
country, and ascertained that the canal
would cost a great deal more. In fact, the
commission could not see how the under
taking could be carried through success
fully for less than double this amount.
about Sl35OOO,OOO.
What is wanted by the government now
is to send a commission composed Of skill
ed engineers to figure out by actual sur
vey, the cost of building the canal The
question whether it will be advantageous
or not has already been settled. All that is
needed is for the governments 10 send COM
petent engineers there to do some actual
work in the field and make a thorough sur
vey of the territory to be traversed
1t is thought that the canal need not be
more than eighty feet wide at the locks
thus enabling the largest men-of-war to
go through. There is a world of interest in
this piece of engineering work-and the
government will probably be careful in
selecting the most capable men that can
be found to make this preliminary sur
Vey.
