Owosso High School Wins.

The OwOsso high school foot ball team
has awakened at last TO the fact that it
might just as we'll play ball as not, aud
tn ned its usual luck by defeating the
1t, Johns football team Saturday, 81 to 0.
IL was not exactly an ideal day for foot
ball and the boys had to contend with rain,
mud, and consequently very slippery pig
skin, but by long and clever end runs they
succeeded in making three touch downs in
the first half leaving the score Is to in
their favor. Four more touchdowns were
made in the second half by the Owosso
team who counted the score of % to as
their reward in tina. part of the game.
The st. Johns team was made up of much
heavier players than the Owosso boys who
feel justly proud of their work.

EDITOR TINES: l wish to express to my
friends in OwOsso and county through your
valuable paper my appreciation of what
they have done for me during the last cleo

sore spots on me, that l take my defeat
gracefully and as gentleman should and
will never forsake the party for the sake of
getting an Office. But on the contrary will
take off my coat and get out and work to
help elect any man who is lucky enough to

Horsman-KiIpatrick.

One of the prettest home weddings
of the many which Owosso has seen
during the last few months, was that
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs Thomas j
Horsman, North Washington street,
Wednesday evening when their daugh-
ter Miss Lucy Lee Horsman, was united
in marriage to Mr.. William ID. Kill
patrick, son of ex Senator VIM. M Xii.
patrick of this city, in the presence of
about sixty of the relatives and most
intimate friends of the bride and groom.
The interior of the family residence,
which always shows the effect of the
refinement and hospitabe nature of its
occupants, presented an especially
charming sight Wednesday evening.
Gay chrysanthemums of the largest
size gave festive appearance to the
rooms, while rich American beauty
roses added their grace and refined
elegance to tbs scene. Smilax, grace
fully draped from chandeliers and en-
twined among the curtains was employ
ed in sufficient profusion to give
charming effect Over all streamed the
soft glow of candles and banquet lamps
diffused mellow light which brought
all into one general harmony and pleas
ing effect
At eight o'clock Miss Horsman dress
ed in white organdie and carrying
American Beauty roses, was joined by
the groom and together in an informal
way they stepped into the handsome
alcove into W hich the bay window had
been transformed. There, facing the
Rev. E. w. Hunt, rector Of the Episco-
pal church, they took the vows which
proclaimed them to the world as man
and wife. The impressive ring service
of the Episcopal church was used
Mr.. and Mrs. Fitzpatrick then receiv-
ed the hearty congratulations and best
wishes of the assembled friends, after
which light refreshments were served
in the dining room which was very
prettily decorated with cut flowers,
asparagus, ferns and smilax.
The presents included many costly
and beautiful gifts among the large
number given.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Fitzpatrick are
well known in this city where both have
always lived. Miss Horsman has al.
ways been popular in social and church
circles and has the warm friendship and
respect of many more outside her init
mate circle of friends. The groom is
also popular and pleasant young man
of no small force of character. He at
tended Olivet college for some time,
then entered the law department of the
University of Michigan from which he
graduated last year He is now in the
law Office of Fitzpatrick & Pierpont.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fitzpatrick went at once
to the residence of f. P. Byerly 4O6 w.
Oliver street where they viii be at home
to friends during the absence of Mr..
and Mrs. Byerly, who have now re-
turned to Washington.
Among the out of town guests were
Mrs. F. E. Rogers and daughter, of
Rochester, N. Y, Mr.. and Mrs. Edmund
Barton and granddaughter, of Flint.
E. B. Finch, of Detroit, w. H. Brown,
of Ann Arbor and DR.. and Mrs. G. c.

What the orders mean is not vet
known. but it is likely that the reui-
ment is to be mustered out Of service
soon. This will be hailed with plad-
ness by the volunteers, but if they are
to be kept in garrison the general SEN
timent is unfavorable to moving north.

Almost Certain to Mean War.

New York, Aug. 16-The World says:
Any such action as that spoken of in
the above dispatch would be almost
certain to mean war between Great
Britain and Russia. The threat is di-
rected at the cZar, who seems to have
had a secret offensive and defensive
alliance with the Peking government
for some time, though that fact has
only just come to light.
The trouble is over the veto of
the railroad concess ons to Newchwang
made to a British subject but which
Russia has forced Lii Hung Chang to
block The London press says Lii Hurg
8 sold body and sui to Russia, which
has thus been able to checkmate Eng
land in every diplomatic move in the
far east
LII Hung Che ng as recall ell t power
by the empress dowager, who rea ly
rules China and is friendly to Ii Hung,
who is anti-Britisll because it is said
that the viceroy while on his grand
tour was net worshiped in England as
in other countries and did not increase
his wealth there to any extent.
In Vienna and Paris war between
Russia and England is looked upon as
almost certain.

Another Communication.

Editor Evening Telegram,-l have
read the item in your Fridays issue
about the movement on foot to form a
retail clerks union in our city to shorten
their hours. / noticed that the Work
ingman said that if he was in need of
any merchandise he can always manage
to get up before p. m., as he stops
work at 5. He must be ono who lives
over store where they keep everything
in his line, while l, as y workingman,
have to walk about 25 minutes to my
shop back and forth four times a day.
And there are hundreds who live in one
end of our city and work in the other.
and when they stop work at five o'clock
and have to walk home that distance
with their working clothes on full of
stone dust and dirt, and all tired out, is
it possible for them to stop into the
clothing stores or dry goods and grocery
stores to make their purchases for next
dayp say no.
1t is in the evening we want to 60 to
the stores 10 buy what we want, and if
one store has not got it we 60 to the
other. We cannot buy our wants in a
hurry, and let the clerks palm off
things on us that we do not wish for,
but are obliged to take when we are in
a hurry. | as married man, with Il
family to clothe, while work from I
a. m. to p. m. and bring my dinners
with me, how can make my purchase
during the day? How can buy enough
to last me all the week? How can my
wife do her shopping during the day
time when she has to attend to her home
and children The only time that have
ever had to do any trading was in the
evening; and there are hundreds in the
same position as | am who are obliged
to do their shopping in the evening.
However, l would like to see our
merchants all unite and fix a time to
close their shops-say about two nights
in the week-Tucsday and Thursday.
That has been done prior to this. FRI
day night is bad one to close down, as
there are often picnics or excursions on
Saturdays and we are obliged to have
our wants supplied the night before in
order to be ready for the following
morning. After we purchase goods
from one store and bring them home
and find they don't suit or don't fit us
and that some changes are necessary,
we have q chance to carry them back
the same evening or the next evening,
but should the stores close every even
ing through the week how can we make
our changes? Nevertheless the opinion
of few others may be different from
mine. While the doctor, lawyer, book
keeper. bank clerk and others can do
their shopping through the day, it will
not make much difference to them by
closing four nights week in succession
but it will make q great difference to
the laboring man to do so. A word to
the wise is sufficient,
A STONE CUTTER.

The arguments in the Bell-Denning
arson case were made this morning by
Richard A. lIoar for the state.
The case was opened at 10 o'clock

at II o'clock.
After few minutes deliberation,
Judge Barney stated that there was suf-
ficient evidence and bound both Bell
and Mrs. Denning over to await the ac-
ton of the Grand jury in September.
Mr.. Hoar asked that bail be fixed at
81 900 under these circumstances, as
the respondents, if they set the fire, had
endangered the lives of number OF
persons who lived upstairs. lie said
It ought to be $4,000 but would con-
slider 81 900 in this case.
Mr.. Gordon and Mr.. Lapoint then
asked that the bail of Mrs. Denning be
placed at $500. They stated that she
had three little children and for this
simple reason the bail ought to be re-
duced so that she could get bonds.
Judge Barney reserved his decision
in regard to the amount of the bonds.
Later.-Bail was fixed at $1,000 for
Bell and $500 for Mrs. Denning.
