STOPPED THE MARRIAGE.
brother of the Bride Interrupts
HGIf-ComrIcted Ceremony.

Deer Park, Md. Jan. On Wednesday
of this week Norman b. Lee, farmer re-
siding near Thayersyille, Garrett county.
obtained from the clerk of the circuit
court at Oakland a marriage license TO
marry one Mrs. Emma Roy, residing at
Deer Park. Garrett County. Wednesday
night the couple repaired 10 the home of
Rev. J. II. Funk, pastor of the Methodist
Church in that town, for the purpose OF
having him unite them In marriage, which
he proceeded 10 do. The usual marriage
ceremony of the Methodist Church was
used by the pastor, and after the clause
relative To any person having objections
as TO why the contracting parties should
not be pronounced husband and wife was
repeated brother of the bride rushed in
to the room and opposed the marriage on
the grounds that his sister was the legal
wife Of Sherman G. Roy and that she had
never been separated from him through di-
vorce or otherwise. This the minister de
cided was good and sufficient reason and
very properly refused to conclude the Ger
emony or pronounce the contracting par
ties husband and wife. Mrs. IOy stated
that she separated from her husband six
years ago and had since been Informed
that he was dead. This is the first time
that a like instance has ever occurred in
Garret county.

SEPARATE COACHES.
Compulsory Bills Introduced in the
North Carolina LegisIature

Raleigh, y. c.. Jan. Two bills have
been introduced in the house OF represen-
tatives, seeking to compel all railroads in
the State to operate separate coaches for
white and colored passengers. One bill is
a copy of a Tennessee law which has been
declared constitutional. The other is
similar to it except that it provides that
any first class coach may be divided into
compartments, separated by a substantial
partition, in lieu of separate coaches"
bill was introduced in the house to
amend the constitution so as to provide
that all moneys arising from the taxa
tion of the polls and property of the white
race for public schools shall be appropri-
ated to the support of the public schools
of the white race, and all the moneys
arising from the taxation of the polls and
property OF the cO,ored race for public
schools shall be appropriated to the sup
port OF the public schools of the co,ored
race"
The school fund is now proportional
according to population. the negroes get
ting as much per capita as the whit, peo-
pie. although they pay only about 10 per
cent Of the taxes.

SPANISH GUNS AS RELICS.
Cannon to BE Given to Ynle, Har-
ward md Princeton.

Havana, Cuba, Jan. Hundreds Of me-
dii,eval bronze cannon now restirs on the
walls of Cabanas and Morro will 20 10 the
United States as relics Of the war with
Spain.
Yale Harvard and Princeton colleges will
get some of these old guns as souvenirs
Gen. Clous will present two to Princeton.
Soon after the protocol was signed the
Spanish government advertised for sale
hundreds of old cannon. F. r. Hauill an
American bid s1OO. 600 for the lot. The
bid was accepted: he paid the Spanish au-
thorities $500 to close the burgain. and
then assigned his claim to I.isherger &
Co. OF New York, whose agent here re-
assigned ii 10 the North American Trust
Company.
The American Evacuation Commission
then stepped in and declared the sale lie
gal on the ground that the guns formed
a part of the Notifications i'll the oeded
territory, and therefore belonged to the
United States. They protested to the Span
sh authorities against the sale and the
matter was referred to Washington.
A decision was given that these cannon
though forming in some degree the de-
fenass of the town, were really i'll the ra-
ture of relies. and might he disposed of
by Spain. On notification Of this the Span
sale Immediately took steps TO sell the
cannon again.
Bids were asked for and last Wednesday
night a sale to Spanish officers took place
at artillery headquarters. Not enough cash
for deposit ON the transaction was forth
coming and the bidders were given until s
a. III. Thursday to get the necessary money.
Samuel NJ. Jarvis the Trust Company s
agent. got word of the transaction and i'm
mediately laid the matter before the Amer
lean authorities. Gen. Clous said if an Off
cial move was made it would mean endless
delay in formal negotiation, and that the
better plan would be TO try to get posses
sion of the property privately.
Then T.. S. Conant. the Evacuation Com
missions attorney. was consulted and a
scheme was devised. Formal notice of pro-
test was served on Gov. Gen. Castellanos
by the agent of the trust. and Conant and
a. Fl. Swayne. of New York. acting for Jar
Wis, attended the adjourned sale. A copy of
the protest and notice of former sale was
served on the Spanish officer conducting
the affair and Oh the intending buyers.
A scene of considerable excitement en-
sued, the Spanish coloneli in charge making
violent remarks regarding the presence of
Americans. Eventually the other buyers
withdrew and the guns were knocked down
to Swayne acting for the trust at the Origi-
nal bid of Sl0O GEO.

GERMAN LABOR STATISTICS.
The Demand for WorSmcH In IS3!
Greater Thnn the supply.

Berlin. Jan. Labor statistics for 1897
just at hand, show most prosperous con-
dition in Germany during the year. In
some Industries the demand for labor eX-
ceeded the supply with the result that
many OF the hands had to work overtime.
From the same cause there was larger
immigration Of foreign labor than usual.
In many instances there was considera-
BILE rise in wages.
On the other hand the price of living
was higher and rents went up. Beef. fish
pork and potatoes were dear. In some of
the collieries the rise was so sharp that
employers who did not advance wages had
to give theN men a special bonus TO buy
food. More cooperative supply stores
were established by employees and those
already in existence largely extended their
operations.

CONTRACTORS UP IN ARMS
Object to Paying Higher Wages
for Street Cleaning.
TO BENEFIT THE W0RkMEN
Threats Against Clause of the Dis
trict Appropriation BiII-A Protest
ur.S at Which the Government
Can Do the Work by Day Labor.

The contractors having in charge the
street cleaning of the District OF Columbia
are up in arms over what they regard as
the high handed manner in which the
District officials have acted in inserting in
the District Appropriation bill clause
that compels them to pay their employees
at the rate OF Sl-25 day.
Street cleaning has occupied the atten-
iion OF the District officials for a long
time and the problems arising therefrom
have been of the most puzZling nature.
The District government has always ad-
vocated the cleaning OF the streets under
their own supervision, but for some reason
or other this has not been allowed and the
employment of contractors TO do the work
has always given trouble.
In the new appropriation bill passed by
the Senate yesterday the amount allowed
for the cleaning of the streets is 22 cents
per thousand square yards, reduction OF
10 cents in the rate now being paid the
contractors by the District. The contract
ors have fought the reduction Of the rate
without success. and therefore If the bill
is passed by both houses enforcing the
proposed rate they will be compelled. they
say to reduce the wages Of their employees.
They made open statements 10 this effect
and used the argument TO defeat the re-
duciion. To protect the workmen against
this reduction in their wages the street
cleaning department OF the District caused
10 be inserted in the appropriation bill a
clause which. while IL allows the District
10 let the contracts al the rate named-22
cents-provides that the contractors must
guarantee TO the District that they will
pay their employees at the rate paid by the
District. which is Sl.25 per day. This an
gered the contractors and they say they
are prepared TO drastic measures TO
defeat the passage of the bill by the House
Heretofore-that is, under the old rate
OF - cents per 1000 square yards-the
street cleaners have received 81 per day
and in some cases only So cents. The re-
ductlon, the contractors claimed would not
allow them TO pay even that high" rate
and IL was said that a reduction to Is cents
Law. Now that the bill also contains a pro-
vision compelling the contractors to pay a
certain rate, and that rate being higher
even than the existing rate, they have filed
q vigorous protest.
NJ. :. Dugan, OF the firm OF Dagge;t &
Dugan, called on Warner SutIer. the su-
perintendent OF street cleaning, at the Dis
trict Building yesterday afternoon imme-
diately after the passage of the bill by the
Senate TO protest against the clause in
question and have IL stricken out OF the
bill before il is taken up by the conferees
OF both houses. Superintendent Stutler re-
fused TO consider such a proposition The
provision, he said, was put in the bill TO
