Abbeville, Dec. esterday
afternoon at about four o'clock,
Clarence Moss was shot by his
brother Hartly Moss. 1t seems
that there has been bitter dis

relative to a drainage ditch lying
along the boundary of their two
properties. Yesterday Clarence
entered the ditch for the purpose
of cleaning 1T out, and was en-
gagged i'm this work when Hartly
came up with his shotgun. He
promptly emptied both barrels,
loaded with five shot into Clar-
ence, one taking effect in his legs
and the other in his side.
Hartly was arrested, taken to
Abbeville and lodged in Jail. Clar-
ence is reported to be not danger
ously wounded.
The two men are sons of Mr.. j.
Henry Moss of Prairie Greig, who
is prosperous and respected
farmer of this parish. Their home
is some twelve miles from this
place, Both are men of family.

FAGOT HACKER.


inst. at q o'clock there was ccIe
bratcd the wedding ceremony be
tween Mr.. Louis {. FagOt, son of
our esteemed fellow tOwnSman Mr..
J. A. FagOt, and Miss Marie
Mcada Hacker, daughter Of the
well known attorney, Judge l.. O..
Hacker We regret that the 0c-
casion was too late for our We'd
nesday edition.
The entire residence Of the
brides parents on Charles street,
had been beautifully decorated
with flowers and evergrcens for
this occasion, and it was brilliant
Iy Illuminated. The many very
handsome presents sent them by
sympathetic friends were every
where to be seen, as though they
were too numerous to be placed in
any room.
At 6 o'clock Rev. Father Jouan
arrived and entered the room in
which the ceremony was perform
ed. He stood behind a table over
which was a large arch made of
white chrySanthemumS.
Mr.. Louis Fagot next entered
with h ) best man, Mr.. Michel
Romero. and then came the two
bridesmaids, Miss Zig Decuir and
Miss Kate Migues. Miss Decuir
wore white organdy over pink silk
and Miss Migues had on white
organdy over buff silk. Next came
the four flower girls, little Misses
Julia and Celina Hacker. Olga
Smith and Ella DeBlanc, who
were more beautiful than the
pretty flowers they carried. Then
came the bride, who wore an ex-
ceedingly handsome bridal eos
tune of white organdy, trimmed
with satin ribbon and lace. She
carried shower bouquet, ordered
from New Orleans by Judge Hack
er, composed of bridal roses. as
paragus and maiden's hair ferns.
Miss Hacker looked very charm
ing in her bridal robes, as she
moved slowly, quietly, gracefully
and with becoming dignity to the
side of her future husband. who
stepped back for a pace or two
and led her to the altar.
In few words Rev. Jouan told
them that it was with pleasure
that he came to perform the cere
mony, for he believed them both
to have given the important sub
iect of matrimony due consider
Grafton: that theirunion was agreed
to by their parents, and now the
church would sanctify it. He, as
their priest, would pray for
happy union between them. The
ceremony was then proceeded
with, after which the sincere con
gratulationS of their friends were
given them, and the guests were
shown into the dining room. where
the popping of numerous cham |
payne corks. the buzz of CONVEX
sation and musical sound of merry |
laughter were very pleasantly in,
termingled. The guests were well
attended by the Tea Girls, Miss
May Bauman in costume of pink
silk, Misses Daisy Romero. Jessie
Fisher. Camille Fagot and Jeanne
Hacker in white organdy.
These ladies were aided by the

A WALL OF WATER.
THE CITY OF MANTI SWEPT BY
A cLOUDBURST
Streets Turned Into . Raging River ant
Thousands Of Dollars of Damage
Done-No Lives are Lost.

Manti, Utah, July 1.-THE cloud
burst in Manti canyon on Tuesday
evening caused the most disastrous
food ever known in Sanpete county,
and as result the streets Of the city
look like the bed Of a river that had
been suddenly drained of all the water,
leaving only the mud and rubbish.
While no fatalities occurred, the
damage to public and private property
Is very great.
At about 6:45 some men came riding
down from the canyon, shouting that
food was coming, but the people
were 10th TO believe the report. In an
incredible short time after the warn
ing q wall of water about eight or ten
feet high came rushing down the cresk,
carrying with It an immense quantity
of logs, stumps and other debris.
A number of the logs lodged under
the bridge and formed dam, turning
the principal part of the stream into
the streets of the town. Cellars were
filled with mud and water aud gar
dens, growing crops, hay and grain
damaged.
Ex-County Surveyor Sangaard pla-
ces the damage at S25, 900, while other
citizens estimate the flood will cost all
the way from &c. 900 to $4,000
At mass meeting called by the
mayor, it has been decided that the
city shall take charge of cleaning the
streets of the debris, and the city's
funds will be used for this purpose.
1t is estimated that s., 900 will be re-
quired for the labor to be done. A
staff of workers has been engaged all
day removing distractions and putting
things in the best possible state for
pedestrians and traffic.

Manila, July 15.-Lake Laguna de
Bay is being patrolled by three troops
of the Fourth cavalry under Captain
McGraw and the army gunboat Napi-
dan, commanded by Lieutenant Lar
sen. The force makes its headquarters
on an island, moving on cascoes, in
which the men are towed about to
make unexpected visits to towns where
there are small forces of insurgents,
for the purpose of keeping the rebels
moving.
On Tuesday the troops had an en-
gagement at Mantilupa, on the south
shore of the lake. They found 500 in
surgents there, intrenched near the
shore. The Napidan shelled the rebels
and party of American troops num-
bering 1875 landed and drove them by
sharp running fire to the hills, where
they were too strongly intrenched for
the small force to attack them.
Two OF the cavalry men were
wounded and the bodies of ten insur-
gents were found. 1t is supposed that
the enemy's loss Is thirty-five.

Trinidad, Colo, July IA. South
bound passenger train No. /, on the
Colorado & Southern railway was rob-
bed by four men at point five miles
south of Folsom, N. M. The hold-up
occurred at the same point at which
the passenger train was held up last
September.
After the train had been bror hit to
a standstill and the train crew had
been intimidated by guns, the robbers
used dynamite with good effect, blow
ing open the sides of the express car.
There were but few passengers on the
train, and they were not molested. Al
soon as the robbers had searched the
express car they mounted horses, which
were hitched nearby, and, firing few
shots to alarm trainmen and passens
gers, fed without any attempt to 60
through the mail car.
Parties here, who claim to know, say
that there was large amount of
money in the express safe, as well as
valuable express matter.

Capture of An Insurgcnt Letter saved the
American Army.
San Francisco, July l6.-The officers
of the Second Oregon regiment, while
very guarded in their statements, ad-
init that the condition of the American
troops at Manila at the outbreak Of
hostilities between Aguinaido and the
United States was very critical,
The capture of letter sent from in
side our lines in Manila to an emissary
of Aguinaldo is probably all that saved
our army from a terrible disaster and
possible humiliation.
The letter was taken to General
Otis, who found in it the plans of a
plot to open the gates of Manila, sack
the insurgent army to pour into the
the American camps and surprise the
men.
The United States troops were under
arms all night to meet the expected
attempt, but spies had learned of the
capture Of the letter, and the only part
of the plot that was carried out was
the burning of portion of the city.

a brigade of cavalry may be organized
for use at the end of the rainy season.
General Otis has tried the horses Of

of them seem to be suitable for cavalry.
1t is the intention of Secretary Alger
to have the mounts carefully selected
and he thinks that animals from the
