Joseph A. Corbett has announced to his
friends that tomorrow evening he will
renounce the shallow joys of bachelordom
and let Miss Elizabeth Mahoney make
him the happiest of men.
That Corbett was affianced to Miss
Mahoney has been known for some time
to the intimate friends of the young
couple, but the existence of the engage
ment was formally announced only yes
terday. Miss Mahoney, the fair bride to
be, is popular and charming young lady.
the daughter of jeremiah Mahoney. the
contractor and builder and member of the
firm Mahoney Bros.
Mr.. Corbett is we'll and favorably known
here, and enjoys national reputation as
an erStwhile pitcher of the National
Baseball League. OF late, however, the
prospective groom has not given any at
tention to the national game, but has
devoted himself entirely to the continu-
ance of the business established by his
father
The wedding, which has been set for to-
morrow evening at the residence of the
brides parents. $40 Page street, will be,
owing to the recent death of Mr.. Corbett's
parents, a very quiet affair, and only the
relatives and intimate friends of the
young couple have been invited.

THE HALL COMPANY rs THE
FATHER OF THE SCHEME.
Western Agents of the Eastern Man
ufacturers Get the News and
Immediately Combine Along
the Lines of Agreement.

And now the makers of safes and locks
have formed a trust. Its first influence
was felt in San Francisco yesterday when
the Western agents of the big vault and
lock making concerns of the East got the
word that war was over among them and
was to be thereafter waged solely against
their patrons.
Outside the insurance business there has
been no line of trade in which competi-
ton was more bitter and more strongly
waged than in the selling of safes. The
Western agents of the different manufac-
turers have had their agents and drum
mers in every town in the State There
has been cutting and a slashing of rates

buy as a sewing machine or piano at $40

a legitimate result of fair trade, and up
to yesterday the safe and lock business

much as three months ago, but there were
two firms that held out against it.

agents decline to say, and, in fact, deny
that there has been any combination

On Saturday the stubborn members of
the combination came over and yesterday
the news was wired to this city. 1t
the deal was first announced the local
agents have been calling in their drum
mer and holding them at home at consid-
cradle expense. Business has been at a
standstill and there has been nothing save
expense and anxiety as to the probable
outcome.
The local agents decline to be inter-
viewed on the proposition. Colonel Giest-
ing, manager of the Hall Safe and Lock
for the formation of the trust, denies hav-
ing heard anything Of it. His junior part
ner, however. is not so cautious in his
statements and admitted yesterday that
the projected trust was an accomplished
fact He said, however, that the combina-
ton would result in no increase in prices.

ACTIVITY IN CHINA.

There is news of considerable indus
trial activity in China. Not only are
the Germans in Shantung forging
ahead in the matter OF railway con-
Etruction and the matter of COAL but
the Chinese themselves are beginning
to show marked signs of a determina
ton to turn the immense mineral
wealth of the country to their own
profit. An edict has been issued ap-
pointing Chang-Yi director of mines in
the Metropolitan province, with power
to form syndicates to work them. This
shows that the empress dowager has
grasped the situation and means to
fight Western nations with their own
weapons. These efforts, laudable as
they may be, are, of course, predoom-
! ed to failure. Without European as
sistance nothing can be achieved even
by the quick-witted Chinaman, as was
amply demonstrated by the complete
failure of the viceroy, Chang Chih
Tung, to construct railways unassist-
ed few years ago. 1t does not fol
low, however, that the Chinese are in
capable of fully acquiring Western
| knowledge of mechanics; only they
must drop their pride and go to work
in different spirit. Meanwhile there
is serious news about the emperor's
health; and we fear that the event
so often alluded to in these columns
is rapidly approaching it's consumma
ton.

Ills bingham Aprons.

Perhaps the most unusual presents
ever received by man were bestowed
this Christmas upon a Brooklyn man
who cooks. They we're two big blue
and-white checked bingham aprons,
long and large, and with ample strings
to encircle the masculine waist. The
man makes at times a descent to the
kitchen when the maids are away and
demonstrates how a good steak should
be broiled or some other of the nu-
merous things of the preparation of
which for the table he considers that
be has an expert knowledge. Upon
auch occasions 1t has been his custom
to borrow the first maids apron con
venient. This good, housewifely ten
dency to use an apron being known,
there came to the man from out Of
town the two big aprons, which were
probably the best appreciated of all
his Christmas gifts and were exhibited
with the greatest pride.-New York

The GeFul.4 se.,.ce contemporary
gives como interesting details on the
marching performances Of the troops
engaged in various celebrated cam
paigns, says the Army and Navy Jour
nal. Thus the highest average of dis
tances marched by troops during the
campaign Of 1895 is to be credited to
the French, who, on the authority OF
General Lewal, marched daily on the
average a distance slightly exceeding
fifteen and half miles. In the war
Of 1866 the highest average was that
attained by the Prussians, marching
thirteen and half miles, while during
the Franco-German war the highest
averages were for the Germans dur.
ing the march on SEDAN, thirteen
miles, and for the French troops, nine
and half miles. In the case OF the
mounted army the record is held by
Murat's cavalry, which marched 491
miles in twenty-four days during tht
