 Families the Principals.
Arkansas Gazette, April 2s.


 At 9 o'clock last night Winfield Memorial church, Fifteenth and Center streets, was the scene of the brilliant nuptials Of Miss Lillian Powell, of Little Rock, and MT. John Rison Fordyce, of Pine Bluff. A large number of friends of the principals were present, filing the spacious church to the overfowing point. The decorations were pretty, the sanctuary and choir being beau tifully festooned with lilies, roses and potted plants, the whole sur- mounted by rows of lighted candles. Preceding the ceremony an orches- tra stationed near the entrance dis coursed inspiring strains.
 As the wedding march resounded through the church the bridal party entered with the ushers and the groomsmen, followed by the brides maids, maid of honor and the lovely bride.

Polk and Clifton Powell the bridesmaids, Misses Helen Bragg, of Camden; Jane Fordyce, of St. Louis, sister of the groom; Hedwig Penzel, Margaret Fink, Mamie Walker and Jamie Moore. Miss Louise Powell, sister of the bride, was maid of hon. or. The bride followed, unaccompa- nied, to the altar, where she was met by the groom, who stood in waiting with his best man and brother, MT. Will Fordyce.
 The ceremony was solemnized by Rev. Dr. Andrew Hunter, the pio- neer of Methodism in Arkansas. His manner was impressive as he invested his words with the heart felt warmth beftting the occasion.
 Certainly no handsomer couple ever stood at Hymen's altar than Mr. Fordyce and his bride. The alter is in. truth one of the fairest daughters of this city of beautiful women. None more queenly ever graced bridal costume, and many were the expressions of admiration IS she passed down the aisle, lean ng upon the arm of her handsome young husband. The bride is a granddaughter of the lamented Dr. A. R. Winfield Mir. Fordyce is a 'on of Col. s. w. Fordyce, president ,f the St. Louis Southwestern Rail- 'oad, aud resides in Pine Bluff, where he is superintendent of the Pine Bluff Cotton Oil mills. No ,oung man in Arkansas has a brighter future than he.

SELLING SPANISH GUNS.
Eight Thousand Mauser and Turkish
PATTERN Rifles for Disposition,


PATTERN Rifles for Disposition.
Arrangements were made by the ord
nance bureau of the War Department,
yesterday afternoon for the disposition of
5000 of the captured Spanish small arms.
These rifles are part of the spoils of war
taken by the American ,roops in Cuba.
They consist of 1000 Spanish Mauser RI
fes and 1000 Turkish pattern rifles of 7 ca
milimeters
The Government captured with the
Mausers a large quantity of ammunition.
and these rifles will, therefore. be stored
away In one OF the arsenais and kept for
future use
The Turkish pattern guns are not
wanted by the War Department They
are of the same style and make as many
OF those used by the Ottoman troops
during the war with Greece. Some OF
them are broken and the pattern is not
considered a desirable one. The broken
the whole lot will be advertised and sold
to the highest bidder
These LOCO guns will doubtless be
bought by relic hunters at fancy prices
and retailed as souvenirs of the war with
Spain at n good profit to the investor.
The Turkish pattern guns carried the
treacherous missiles incased in brass
jackets. which were used by Spanish
sharpshooters from tree tops and other
places Of concealment as the Americans
advanced upon Santiago. They are re-
garded as relics of barbarous warfare
which an army officer declared would
only be used by such countries as Spain
and Turkey.

Monthly Statement of the Condition
of the Treasury.

The monthly statement of the condition
of the Treasury and of the receipts and
expenditures of the Government up to the
close of yesterday shows that the avaiia-
BILE cash balance. including the gold re-
serve, is 500, lis, ,30i22. OF this the net gold
and bullion. including the $40, 900 re-
serve. is s2i0. .645. .651.20.
OF this total cash balance about $l9i, CO.,
900 Is from the receipts of the bond issue.
although this is not stated in the Treas
ury exhibit. Six million dollars IS still
unpaid of the total amount of the bond
issue.
The receipts for the month were as fol-
lows: Customs, SIS, 555, 23i II; internal rev.
enue. So. S56. .5n.s1: miscellaneous, s1,nS,-
305.0i, making the total receipts s39, ,630,-

1879; internal revenue, s9i. G9S, i32 6S; mis-
cellaneous, s., 7,205 1862; total s1e5 037. .937 i9
The expenditures have exceeded this
sum by sli27 94S 90 for the month"; and by
s73.6l31 1866 for the fiscal year to date.
The expenditures for the month were
made up as follows: Civil and miscella-
neOus, $40 991 coo: war. so S95. 900; navy So
Sl5o0O Indians. s9S7. 900: pensions S, ,965, Oo);

1t is thus to be seen that the item Of

600. .000-more than accounts for the excess
of expenditures over receipts.

hand while with the other he supported
himself on the Shiny piles. 1t took over
twenty minutes work to get the countess
from the water. She was finally lifted TO

dog. Hector, held her up until assistance
arrived.
