An Impressive Wedding at
 The First Methodist Church

One of the prettiest afternoon weddings of the winter occurred yesterday at $50 at the First Methodist church. At that time Miss Annie Belle Jernigan and MT. John Douglass Scruggs were united in marriage, pr. G. c. Kelley being the officiating clergyman. The chancel was draped in white, and a profusion of palms was used in the decorations.
 The wedding music was played by Miss Belle Mccoy, and previous to the cere- mony Miss Alice Fallon sung in her accus- toned beautiful manner, Because l Love You, Dear" and 70, Promise Me" The ushers, c. R. Plosser, F. L. Moses, Dr. G. c. Chapman and Frank M Mitchell entered the church by the right and left aisies. The bridesmaids and maid of honor came down the aisles alone, as did the grooms- men. The bride entered with her father, the groom and his best man preceding down the opposite aisle
 James B. Scruggs, of Opelika, a brother of the groom, was best man. The maids were Miss Maebelle Sloss, Miss Elizabeth Harris, of Birmingham and Miss Addie Perkins, of Atlanta.
 Miss Carrie Jernigan, a sister of the bride, was maid of honor.
 The maids wore handsome afternoon toilettes, and carried pink carnations The maid of honor wore lovely gown of mode cloth with trimmings of dark green and American Beauty velvet. The hat was of velvet and matched her costume. Her flow CTS were white carna tions. The bride was handsome in an elegant toilette of brown cloth, with turquoise velvet on the corsage. She wore a small hat of brown velvet with effective trimmings of turquoise. She car ried white carnations, and was one of the most striking brides of the season. After the ceremony MT. and Mrs. Scruggs left for New Orleans for their honeymoon. On their return they will go immediately to housekeeping in a handsome new home in Eleventh avenue, south, which the groom has recently built and furnished for his beautiful bride. Mrs. Scruggs is the young- est daughter of pr. and Mrs. Charles H. Jernigan.

EAGAN'S SENTENCE VAS COMPUTED President Took Pity on the Luck
 less General. SUSPENSION FOR SIX YEARS The Sentence Carries Him to Within Few Days of Retirement Under
 the Age Limit
 Still Draw Pay.
SUSPENSION FOR SIX YEARS

Washington. February 7.-Ths president tence in the case of General Chariss P. Eagan.
 The oourtmartial sentence was dismissal from the army and the president has com muted this to six years suspension from duty, which covers the remainder of the time prior to General Easan's retirement In January, loo7.
 The following is the text of the order of the president:
 'sThs accused, after a trial by oourtmar- tfal composed of officers of high rank and distinguished services. has been found guilty of conduct unworthy of an officer holding a commission of the United States and obnoxious in the highest degree to the discipline and good order of the military establishment.
 Such behavior is especially deserving of condemnation in an officer holding high rank in the army and charged with the. performance of difficult and important ad- ministrative duties in a time of great pub lie emergency, and from whom, when sub jected to adverse criticism, an unusual de- gree of restraint anl constant and unfail- ing self-oontrol are confidently expected.
 'The proceedings, findings and sentence in the case of Brigadier-General Charles P. Eagan, commissary general of subsistence, United States army, are, therefore, ap- proved. In view, however, of his gallant conduct In battle upon more than one oc- casion, which merited and has received the warm commendation of his superiors, and of his long and honorable record of service extending over a period surpa ssing in du- ration that usually allotted to a genera tion: having regard, also, to the mitigating circumstances, which were developed during the trial of the case, and in defer ence to the recommendation to clemency submitted in his behalf, the sentence in1- posed by the court is conmuted to suspen- sion from rank and duty for six years.
 "WM. MKINLEY.
 February T. 1s99."
 It was stated by the adjutant-general that General Eagan's suspension carries him to within few days of his retirement under the age limit. He will be reinstated in time to retire with the regular rank and pay provided in such cases. The sentence of suspension does not deprive General Eagan of any part of his pay, but as the sentence reads: "Without rank and duty" he loses his allowances, which include com mutation of quarters, of rations and fuel and his horse allowance. This is quite a large financial item.

DISAGREEABLE DAY.
One of the Coldest of the Season and
 Followed by Snow.

The chilling blasts of winter are on in full force and in consequence everything is frozen up tight. Weathermaker Jacobs has been charged with entering into con- spiracy with the plumber, but being free- holder himself it is thought that he will be able to prove an alibi although the sur rounding crcumstantial evidence is strong. Yesterday was the>most disagreeable day of the winter, opening cold and closing colder. The maximum temperature for the day was 40 degrees and the minimum was 21 dgerees. At 2 D. m. the mercury stood at 24, having moderated sufficient to induce light fall of snow, which kept up steadily throughout the night. The flakes were small, however, and except in drifts up to midnight made little impression.
 The predictions for Alabama today are for generally fair weather with continued cold and fresh .o brisk northerly winds.

Miss Roscommon awoke to the fact that ne was
talking as much as ever and she more than ever
before And now she began to perceive glmpses
of the real man, of the passionate love OF all
things beautiful that had lain beneath his
veneer of cheap culture. He talked no more OF
Literature and Art. Nor did he talk OF himself
But he spoke Of his father, and she respected
him He spoke OF his mother and the little dead
sister and something like tenderness began to
soften the respect She saw how the pastoral

and yet happy, he read them to her one golden
afternoon in the orchard And they were good

life" his respect for her as CLIFTON girl, and,
above all a certain wistful sadness about his
blue eyes stirred her half-amused sympathy.
His presence seemed to promise new interest
to life al the farm.
The promise was fulfilled. He attached himself
frankly to Miss Roscommon's apron strings
walked with her, drove her in the market-cart,
sat with her under the gray apple boughs, and
talked without ceasng. He well-read was
acquainted with modern as well as classic litera-
ture-he quoted almost necessarily. When he
was not quoting he talked OF authors, of edi-
tions of style and of form. How should she
know that he had his own dreams which he
managed to disguise under these quotations
from the dreams of others? Miss Roscom-
mon was the first educated woman he had ever
met and he seemed agoniZedy anxious to lose
no chance of showing her that he too had been
educated that he was not merely the foolish boy
she might have expected to find in the 'son of
the house at a farm. At first this sensitive, in
it irritated her and at the end Of three days she
was as near hating Robert Fry as she had ever
been to hating any one-even the least-oved
professor at Cambridge. Yet. after all 1t was
not possible to Mabel quite to hate any one, nor
was IL possible that Robert Fry should ever be
