CHARLESTON, w. Va, May 15.-The
First Regiment West Virginia Volunteer

and is only awaiting transportation to
take them to Chickamauga, or wherever
else they may be sent. Colonel Spillman,
with the other regimental officers having
been mustered in last night, at once as

camp has become a great deal more rigid
than heretofore. 1t is to be regretted that
the men have to leave the State without
uniforms and the officers think the Gov

till the men were uniformed and fully
equipped.
David Elkins, son of Senator S. B. Ell

been made up it may be that he will not

Secretary of War made an order for

to assemble these troops at Cnce in

PEACE PIPE MAY
 BELCH GRIM WAR
Fight Between Warning Street Car Elements Not Set
 tied.

The smoke from that temporary pipe of peace smoked by the Birmingham Traction company and the Birmingham Railway and Electric company may change from it's peaceful curls to the sky and take on all the grim hue of war
 The contest was called the other day at the middle of the sixth round. So far the conference between the officials of the two companies has resulted in nothing and neither show signs of throwing up the sponge. The agreement was that if this plan failed an armistice would be declared until Mayor Evans could appoint one arbi- trator the two companies to appoint one each The mayor appointed W. c. Shackle- ford The warning elements were to ap- point their representatives in the event they could not agree among themselves. When the sun set last evening the guns were sienced, but had not surrendered and the matter may yet go to board of arbi- tration or wind up in the city council chamber.
 It is claimed that the Birmingham Rail- way and Electric company desires to ex tend its Eleventh avenue line. To do this they are forced to cross the line of the opposing company, which forbids this. This, it is said will form the basis of its contention. In other words, if this be granted peace will be restored.
 This is merely outside talk. The boards of strategy hold hourly meetings, and nothing is given out for publication.

J. Bain Thompson Escapes With
 Miss MattiIeen Fowler.
WEDDED BY FATHER GREELEY
N. F. Thompson, Father of the Groom, Heard of the Affair in the Age-Herald Office and forgaye Then and There
 the United Lovers.

J. Bain Thompson and Miss Mattileen Alyce Fowler were married last evening at the pastoral residence of St. Paups Catholic church, Father P. A. O'Reilly, officiating.
 It was another case of Hove laughs at locks and bars" There was parental. ob- jection on each side but youthful cunning overmatched this and while older heads scented no danger. the gallant knight and his betrothed were having sealed the vows of matrimony
 While N. F. Thompson, the father of the groom was in The Age-Herald office on a matter of business, a well wisher of the newly welded pair brought the news to the office. The young man who brought the item was not even acquainted with the father and laughed heartily at the objec- tion being so neatly met and overcome.
 MT. Thompson himself. being unaware or the names of the participants, entered into the joke and with others extended congratulations The slip of paper with the names was then handed him. He looked at 1t moment with a perplexed air, but with the good humor of a defeated parent he forgave there and then.
 T suspected it, but not so soon,' said he.
 Everything Cleverly Arranged
 The marriage was the finale of an ac- qualntance of over five years. So cleverly nad MT Thompson and his friends arranged everything that the parents had no inkling Of the contemplated marriage until it was all over. No objection was made to his visiting the young lady's home, and merely saying they were coming into the city, they left to be made and wife. He even went so far as to have matters all arranged for a bridal tour, and they left last night for a trip through the east to Washington, Baltimore, New York and other cities
 The bride is the daughter of Captain Robert J. Fowler, who for several years was superintendent and manager of the southern district of the Postal Telegraph company, with headquarters in this city. She is quite a pretty, graceful, as well as a popular young lady.
 MT Thompson is stenographer and private secretary to General Agent de Funiak of the Louisville and Nashville kailroad, and leading member of the Jefferson club. He Is son of N. F.. Thompson, for several years secretary of the Commercial club of this city, and now secretary of the Commer- cial club of Johnstown, Pa.

Beyond Notice

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
 A man who, although well dressed, was very drunk was riding up town yesterday afternoon in car that was well filled with sober, staid and eminently respectable passengers. He tried in various ways to attract attention draw somebody into conversation, but his overtures were re- ceived in solemn silence, and later on, when he became somewhat aggressive he had no better luck. Finally, his countenance lighted up and with the air of a man who had at last found what he had been looking for he swung his hat over his head and beloved out:
 "Hurrah for Span.''
 Nobody moved nor said a word, and the inebriate looked aggrieved.
 'Well, whoy don't somebody come up and soak me in the jaw?"
 No one answered this query, and the aggressive individual broke out again:
 "Well, are you all dead, and jes' wait in to be buried?''
 Still no reply.
 "I see how 1t is. Nobody has respect enough for me to soak me, no matter how I deserve 1t. Never you mind. I'll soon be home, an then I'll say ''Rah for Spain,' and my wife won't do a thing to me-

Chamberans Remarkable Speech Still Subject
 of Much Discussion.

London. May 16.-The speech of Joseph Chamberlain, the secretary of state for the colonies at Birmingham, on Friday, is still the sensation of the day and was introduce ed in the house of commons this evening.

 Michael Davitt, member for South Mayo having read an extract from MT. Chamber lain's speech in which the latter depreciat- ed the value of Russian promises, asked the colonial secretary if he thought such language and sentiments were consistent with the friendly relations between the two countries, but the speaker refused the ques- ton to be put
