MONTPELIER.

This has been an usually busy sea-

the moving of buildings, the new iron
bridge, and new street all being done
by the executors of the will of the late
James R. Langdon, together with the
buildings of new jail, the addition
being built to the capitol building,
with other buildings being erected by
individuals has giving employment to
more than five hundred laborers.
Never since Montpelier put in her
water system, taking water from Ber-
lin Pond, has there been a shortage of
water until the past few weeks. Water
got so low in the reservoir that the
city council directed the water COM
missioners to shut off the water in the
main pipes, fearing if fire broke out
in the city we should be without
means to subdue it. The water in the
pond got SO low that no water run
from the pond to the reservoir and
steam pumps were placed at the pond
and pumped water into the channel to
the reservoir, and now we have an
abundance of water for domestic pur-
poses and in case of fire should have
means to combat it.
Great preparations are being made
for Dewey's reception which is now,

MISS GRANT MARRIED
Becomes the Wife of a Rus
sian Nobleman.
A TWICE PERFORMED CEREMONY.
Quaint Marriage Rites of the Greek
Church to BE Followed by Nup-
tiaIs In Accordance With
American Statutes.

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. 25.-In ac-
cordance with the rites of the Russian
Orthodox church, Miss Julia Dent Grant,
daughter of Brigadier General and Mrs.
Frederick ID. Grant and granddaughter
of one of Americas greatest military
leaders, General Ulysses S. Grant, last
night became the bride of Prince Canta-
cuzene, Count Speransky, of Russia after
simple but impressive ceremonies con-
Quoted by Father Hotovitsky of the Rus
sian church, New York.
The American statutes are yet to be
conformed to before the distinguished
couple can go forth into the world as hus-
band and wife, and it is that ceremony in
All Saints Episcopal church today at
noon to which the summer colony here,
as well as numerous friends, diplomatic,
military and civil, have been looking for
ward to with eager expectancy. Still the
unfamiliar service last evening in the
parlor Of Beaulieu, the summer residence
of Mr. and Mrs. Potter Palmer, uncle
and aunt of the BRIDE had charms which
did not fail to impress the few who wit
messed it, as it was entirely in keeping
with the somewhat novel marriage of an
American girl to a foreign nobleman. A
special altar had been raised in the par
lor by Father Hotovitsky and his assist
ant After the room had been formally
consecrated, at half past 8 o'clock, the
bride appeared at the head of the grand
staircase leaning on the arm of her broth
er, Ulysses s. Grant, third, while at the
altar, before which stood the Russian
divine, waited Prince Cantacuzene, clad
in the full uniform of the chevalier garde.
The brides dress was severely cut and
was simple gown of the richest white
satin, with sweeping train and veil of
tulle. She carried bouquet of stephano-
tbs and lilies of the valley and wore the
gifts of the bridegroom, a corsage orna-
ment of diamonds and enamel and a rope
of pearls.
Mr.. Grant conducted his sister to the
altar in the absence of General Fred D.
Grant, now serving in the Philippines.
The picturesque ritual, interspersed with
frequent music by a local quartet, was
quite lengthy, the sacred rites of the be-
trothal marriage being especially inter-
esting and impressive. The services
closed with the singing Of the Russian
national hymn, after which the couple
received congratulations, while the or.
chestra discoursed sweet music. The
ceremony consumed fully an hour, and it
was nearly midnight before the guests
finally departed.

Owing to the bad weather the opera

the warships for three hours bombarded
the town of Olangapo and the intrench-

Men from the Charleston, Concord and
Zafro were then landed under a heavy

The Americans had one man wounded
during the engagement.
While waiting in Subig bay for better
weather the Americans deserted Filipino

The American bombarding then became
general. At $3.50 the Monterey advanced
to a range of 600 yards, using her main
battery. Two hundred and fifty men
were landed about 800 yards east of the
cannon at IL o'clock, under a severe shore
Mauser fire. The men from the Charles
ton We're the first to reach the beach, but
the Concords men were the first at the
gun. The cannon was found to be a 16
centimeter Krupp gun, presumably OBJ
tanned from the Spaniards.
Meanwhile the warships continued to
shell the shelving beach on the east and
west side to silence the insurgent fire up
on the sailors from the trenches skirting
the beach.
Gunner Olsen exploded 80 pounds OF
guncotton in three discharges in the can

the warships.
The Americans then returned to the

MANILA, Sept. 26.-A boats crew of
the Petrol proceeded down the Pasig riv-
er and found the gunboat Urdaneta burn
ed and riddled by the insurgents. The
wreck was lying opposite Orani. The
boat had not been heard from for ten
days. a Colt automatic, a Nordenfeldt
and a one FOUNDER had been taken off.
One officer and the crew of nine were
missing.
The Urdaneta had been patrolling the
shore on the north of Manila bay. Her
long continued absence caused great anX-
iety, as it was thought that her coal had
been exhausted. A search for her was
then decided upon. Natives who were in
terrogated by Lieutenant Franklin, in
command of the gunboat Laguna de Bay,
told that officer that the Urdaneta had
bombarded the town of Orani on Sunday.
The crew had landed to take possession,
when they were seized by large body
of insurgents who had laid a trap for
them. According to the natives, the pris
oners were removed to Porac, and the
gunboat was at once looted and scuttled.
