Notwithstanding the expressed desire of
the bride and her family for quiet we'd
ding the avenue for block in either direc-
ton from the church held an immense
throng which threatened at times to pre-
vent the arrival of guests carriages. In
order to relieve the crush the police drove
the crowd back TO the block above the
church and to block below thus leaving the
street clear in front of the entrance.
At II a. m. guests began to arrive, and
just before the approach of the bridal party
the church was crowded and guests stood
in the aisles. The four front pews on
either side Of the center were reserved
for the members of the brides and BRIDE
groom's families. The bridegroom and his
brother, Ogden Hanmond, were waiting
at the altar when the bride arrived The
| maid OF honor was Lila Vanderbilt Sloan,
sister OF the bride.
The interior OF the church was adorned
with roses, lilies and garlands and orange
leaves and smiiax, while palms and aZa-
las added beauty. The dark marble pill
lars were hidden by ropes OF green, bound
with lilies, and upon the capitols of each
column were great punches OF white Easter
flowers. At the chancel rail there was a
solid bank OF azalias and lilies in shades
OF pink and white. The lectern. pulpit and
| choir stalls were wound with roses OF
laurel and lilies, while beyond was a bank
OF lilies and palms. Two great palms
thirty feet high, ianked the altar and Jars
OF roses varied the loose Easter flowers
upon the altar.
/ The bride received many handsome and
costly presents. More than 800 presents
followed the couple to the >Some of the
brides parents for the reception and break

THE COURT OF INQUIRY.
DR.. Cufrle Iestifies that Acids We're Used
in Preservation.
MILES ASKS FOR ADDITIONAL WITNESSES
Not Call Them--Prof. Chittenden
snys Beef Was Good.

Washington, April 5.--The two principal
witnesses today before the beef inquiry
court were Prof. Chittenden OF Yale and
DR.. Samuel A. Currie who was lieutenant
colonel OF the Second New Jersey regi-
ment, which was stationed at Jacksonville
during the war. Prof Chittenden is one
OF the chemists selected by the govern
ment to analyze the canned roast beef
He presented his report. showing that the
beef generally was good. No chemical
had been found by him, and 1t was gem
orally wholesome. He. however, expressed
doubt as TO whether the heat OF the trop-
ical climate would not cause the fat in
the cans to liquefy and thus render the
food displeasing to the sight.
Colonel Davis stated that most OF the
cans from which the samples were taken
for analysis had been exposed to the heat
OF tropical countries. some OF the cans
being brought from Havana for the pur-
pose OF securing a test He had made
chemical analysis of the beef, which In
one case showed the presence OF saicylic
acid and in another of the boracic acid.
Major Lee presented more OF the cor
| respondence between General Miles and
the court, aud put in request on behalf
| OF the general that nine Of the 1870 wit
nesses whose names he had heretofore
suggested be called, saying that they
would testify concerning refrigerated
beef and chemically treated beef The
court did not Indicate whether the re-
quest would be complied with,
Dr. Currie said he had discovered some
ten or twelve hours ago by actual tests
] that Swift & Co. used salicylic acid to
preserve their meats. Two months ago
he had made similar test OF beef fur
nished by Armour a. Co. at his own home
in Englewood, n. j.. and found that 1t
contained salcylic acid.
Major Lee then read the reply OF the
court 10 General Miles request for sum-
monng 131 witnesses named by him and
General Miles reply asking that they be
placed In the record The letter to GEN
eral Miles was written by Recorder Davis
OF the court OF inquiry. 1t was dated
yesterday and was as follows:
Il beg to acknowledge the receipt OF
your favor of the Sd instant. enclosing
the final list Of witnesses.
II am directed to say that such OF the
| persons names az appear In the names
submitted, in possession of facts not al
ready covered by the testimony OF Wit
nesses, will be summoned to appear with
the least possible delay"
General Miles reply said, in part:
at is my belief that at least $4,000 men
| and undoubtedly much greater number
would confirm tho testimony that has al
ready been given that portion of the
| food supplied the army was unwholesome
and unsuitable for use. I. therefore. re-
quest that the small number of witnesses
ODD, whose names have just been sub
mtted may be called upon TO give their
testimony before your court"
The general understanding about the
court is that the request will not be COM
piled with.

THE WORK no begin Al ONCE!

It is gratifying news to learn that Cap
tain Richie, in charge OF the government
engineering work In this section, has re-
ceived official word from Washington that
the recent appropriation OF 100000 for
the beginning of work on the Buffalo
bayou channel 10 available without any
further action Of congress and that the
preliminary steps for active operations in
the premises can and will be taken at
once
Thus do we begin to practically realize
the hopes OF years!
It ought to inspire the members OF the
Houston deep water committee at their
meeting at the Cotton Exchange this af-
ternoon. with the livoliest satisfaction and
enthusiasm to know that 30 far their la
bors have been so productive of good re-
suits that not only has large sum been
obtained for the work in view. but that
the government authorities announce that
they will proceed at once to the execu-
ton OF the preliminary steps!
1t is matter. indeed for great public
rejoicing here that where delays were
feared in the beginning Of the work none
will occur. and that the government

part at the earliest possible moment. No
such good news has been received in this
community for years as this announce
ment from Washington that there will be
no confusion ms to the intention OF con-
gress. or the report from Galveston that
Captain Richie will not lose day In in
augurating the work!
| 1t is a matter involving such interests
and such future for Houston as have
never been involved before in any direc-
ton by any action within or without this
city.
| But the fact that tho work OF improve
ment is to virtually commence at once,
ton to speedily consummate Its plans for
performing certain conditions that are i'm
| posed upon us. It is going to require the
awaking of broad public spirit and the
| contributions of land and money TO en-
able Houston to meet these conditions.
The government does not propose to do
all. and those citizens here who Imagine
the contrary will be grlevously mistaken,
! A great work is about to be begun, as
surfing us a great future, but We will need
to show ourselves worthy of It by re-
moving certain local obstacles TO the ao-
complishment Of the government plans
before we will be permitted 10 realize
upon our hopes and expectations
The subject is of such vital interest &c
every citizen In Houston and matters
have now progressed so far and withal SC
encouraglngly. that practical reasons APP
peal to all to see that We as a community
do not fail or falter lust at this critical
iuncture.
The meeting at the Cotton Exchange
this afternoon. therefore, should be large.
ly attended. and, In view OF the late goot
news and the pressing necessity for ex'
pediting our end OF the work. enthusiasts
tic and unanimous In reaching practica
conclusions that will actively enlist al
Houston In perfecting what further meas
ures may be required OF US.
Grand opportunities, a splendid future
are just within our grasp. VIII we, dar'
we, fail to grasp them?
