A Pretty Wedding.

The wedding of Miss Katherine Kelly
and Rev. ]. f. Wool, which was ~cee-
brated yesterday afternoon at the Presby'
terian church, was one of the prettlest
ones we have seen since our residence IN
Tazewell. The altar and organ loft had
been tastefully decorated with potted
plants, lilies and evergreens, and beautl-
full music had been prepared under the
direction of Miss Alice Alexander, who
presided at the organ.
Just before the bridal party arrived at
the church ''Oh, Promise Me-" by Bee
thoven, was beautifully sung by Miss Ned
Spencer; and as the bridal party began
to enter the church sextet of ladies sang
with excellent expression the Bridal
Chorus from Lohengrin. The sextet was
composed of Miss Ned Spencer, Mrs.
Boyer and Mrs. Kroll, sopranos; and
Misses Pansy Alexander, Grace Crockett
and May Hankins, altos. The strains of
this beautiful chorus filled the church
until the entire bridal party had arrived
at and taken their assigned places about
the altar. Misses Caroline Dunn, Jennie
Bowen, Lucy Ashby Henry, Mamie Rig-
ginbotham, Matte Peery and Jessie
Graham we're the bridesmaids, and
Messrs. Marvin Kelly, A. s. Booker, S.
V. Kelly, A. S. Angel, DR.. S. w. Wool
and Rev. S. w. Moore acted as ushers.
Mrs. Henry Preston, sister of bride, was
maid of honor and Mr.. Theodore l.. Wool,
brother of the bridegroom, acted as best
man. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Thomas Mowbray, assisted by Rev.
w. w. Ruff. The bridal party, preceded
by the ministers, entered the church and
approached the altar in the following or
der:
Messrs. Marvin Kelly and A. S. Book
er, Misses Caroline Dunn and Jennie
Bowen, Messrs. S. V. Kelly and Z. S.
Angel, Miss Lucy Ashby Henry, DIR. j.
Ii. Wool and Rev. S. w. Moore, Miss
Mamie Hgginbotham and Jessie Graham,
Miss Matte Peery; Mrs. Preston, the
maid of honor, followed by little Mary
Preston, niece of bride, and Myra Wool,
niece of groom, carrying baskets Of flow
ers. Then came the groom with his best
man; and last, but the most interesting
person, the bride, leaning on the arm of
her brother, Mr.. a. p. Kelly. The bride
was dressed in white, and wore hand
some bridal veil. She was composed and
looked lovely.
The bridesmaids were all dressed in
white, except Misses Peery and Henry,
who wore pink. The ushers wore the
regulation black as did the groom. At
the conclusion of the ceremony the bridal
party filed out of the church to the strains
of Mendelssohn's Wedding March.
The church was filled with the relatives
and friends of the contracting parties, all
of whom pronounced it one of the pref
tiest weddings they had ever seen.
MIR. and Mrs. Wool left on the five
o clock train for Norfolk and other points
in the East where they will spend their
honeymoon.

Gold on Clear Fork.

Recently we were handed a piece OF
gold Quartz which was taken from ledge
on the farm of Mr.. G. w. Walker, neal
Shawver Mills, on Clear Fork. The
quartz was taken off about fifteen inches
below the surface, and an assay has been
made of a piece similar to the one we
have. The assay shows that the quartz
will yield $500 worth of gold to the ton
This is sufficiently rich in the precious
metal to Justify working. We are In
formed that there is large quantity ol
the quartz, and it is reasonable to sup
pose that it will increase in richness as II
is found deeper from the surface.
There has always been an impression
that there was plenty of gold on Clear
Fork, and it is str&uge that there has not
been more thorough search made fol
the precious metal in that section. If ii
can be found there in considerable guam
titles and the ore is sufficiently rich to
warrant the owners in mining and re-
ducine, it will add wonderfully to the al
ready great resources of our county.

INJUNCTION AT ST. LOUIS
Granted or the Ground that Strike Inter
fered With Mail Cars.

St. Louis, June 25.-Judge Elmer B..
Adams, of the United States District
Court, today granted temporary inJunc'
ton in the case of w. D. Mahon and all
the members of Division No. l3l OF the
Amalgamated Association Of Employees OF
America restraining them from interfering
in any way with the running of mail cars
over the St. Louis Transit Company's line.
The decision was reached after listening
to the arguments of counsellor the strikers
and United States District Attorney Roster
and the reading of numerous affidavlts SUBJ
mitted by both sides.
None of the defendants was present,
They were represented by counsel who de-
clared it was not shown that any OF de-
PENDANTS named had been guilty of law
lessness.
Judge Adams in rendering his decision
said
"The question is whether the defendants
have shown by the affidavits to have been
interfering with the instrumentalities and
the agencies of the federal government.
at is admitted that the mail cars were
interfered with, and their prompt opera
ton at times rendered impossible. The
defendants and those who have acted in
concert with them ordered the strike
From this it follows, whether they are
guilty of lawlessness or not as complained
of, they must be held accountable for the
necessary consequences of their acts.
eff it is true, and hope it is, that none
of the defendants have been guilty OF In
terfering with the mail cars, then the In
junction can certainly do no harm"

Brvan s sina az NON

Bryan sine qua non.
The movement took form early in the
day among some of the most influential
men Of the party, not through any spirit
of opposition to Mr.. Bryan but because
they believed the overwhelming sense OF
the delegates was favorable to a simple
re-afirmation of the Chicago platform
without a specific declaration for 16 to 1 /;
that is conservative instead of radi-
cal financial platform.
The force Of the movement began to
make itself apparent as the day advanced
Ohio led off and after short fight over
whelmningly instructed its representa-
tive on the platform committee, Judge
Chapman, to work for simple re-
affirmation OF the Chicago platform,
without a specific 10 to declaration.
This declaration was made in the face of
protest by Tom johnson that it was
opposed to Bryan S well known wishes.
The Florida caucus followed by instruct
ing it's platform member, Mr.. Gibbons, to
oppose a specific plank Of 16 to,1. At the
West Virginia caucus the same sentiment
was manifested on the ground that they
would give fighting chance to West Vir-
ginia. The Georgia and Rhode Island
delegates expressed a like tendency The
Wisconsin delegation in caucus discussed
similar action The Michigan delegation
also came out for a simple re-affirmation
and aside from these formal proceedings
against the is to l specific declaration, it
is understood that Pennsylvania, Indi-
ana, Illinois, part Of New York and other
influential delegations share the senti-
ment for a conservative" as against a
radical platform.

ENDORSED BY MEN.
st. Louis Strike Is Now Thing of the
Past.

st. Louis, July 3.-The executive com
mittee of the local union Of street car
men this afternoon endorsed tho action Of
the grievance committee in coming to the
agreement with the Transit company
that resul ted in the strike being declared
off.
Attorney Joseph W. Folk, who had
much to do with bringing about the set
tlement of the strike, was asked today
whether he considered it a victory for the
men or the company, replied that he con-
sidered it an honorable settlement for
both sides. He said:
MY idea is that this action will be
final. I hope the men viii ratify the
agreement and I believe they win. I
consider that they are equally bound to
abide by the decision as the committee
was empowered to end the strike. Z con
slider it an honorable settlement. Legal
ly the strike is ended.

BRYAN WILL BE THERE.
He Has Promised to Attend kansas
city Convention.

Kansas City, July 8.-Unless plans per-
fected tonight are upset Mr.. Bryan win
attend the Democratic national conven-
tion after his nomination, if he is put in
the field early enough to make it practi-
cable for him to do so. A formal invita-
tion has been sent to him and it is said
that he would accept.
This fact was brought out in the after
noon session of the committee to have the
nomination for the Presidency made to-
morrow if possible.
The desire on the part Of the members
is to have a day and a night session. 1t is
their purpose to have the usual commit
tees appointed as promptly as possible af-
ter the convening of the convention and
then have them get together Immediately,
act as soon as they can, and if possible
report and have the convention act upon
the reports after adjourning in the after
noon. Failing to secure action in the af-
ternoon they hope to get the committee
reports disposed of early in the evening
and still accomplish Mr.. Bryan's nomina-
tion before the adjournment OF the night
session.

FIGHTING AT TIEN TSIN.
Report That Admiral Seymour Has
Been Wounded.

London, July Repeating the story
of renewed severe fighting at Tien Tsin,
a special from Shanghai adds that the re-
ports are current that Vice Admiral Sey-
mour has been wounded.
The Parliamentary secretary of the for
eign office, Mr.. William St. John Bro
derrick, replying to questions in the
House of Commons today said that he
was able to add but little to the previous
information about China. He remarked,
however, that telegram had been re-
ceived from the British consul at Tien
Tsin, dated June 30, saying the allied
forces had burned three arsenals with an
immense quantity of stores, powder and
ammunition. Mr. William Pritchard
Morgan, Liberal, (who has large conces-
sions in China) moved an adjournment
with the view of debating the situation
He urged that the government should be
more energetic in taking steps to rescue
the legations at Pekin and claimed it
should Insist that Ii Hung Chang be ap-
pointed regent.

WILLIE'S SPEECH.
1t Sounds Fierce But Doesn't Threaten
Much after All.

Berlin, July Addressing the detach-
ment of German marines which sailed
from Wilhelmshaven for China, yester-
day, the emperor made a remarkable
speech, during which he notified the
world of Germany's Intention to avenge
the murder Of BaronVon Ketteler, the late
minister OF Germany at Pekin, and the
missionaries. and to dictate terms to the
Chinese from the palace at Pekin. Ac-
cording to the Lokalanzisger, His Males
ty spoke as follows:
''The German flag has been insulted
and the German empire treated with con-
tempt. This demands exemplary punish
ment and vengeance. Events have moved
with frightful rapidity and have become
profoundly grave, and still graver since
called you to arms. What hoped to
effect with the helP-of the marine infan-
try has now become difficult task which
can only be fulfilled with the help of the
serted ranks Of all civilized states. viii
not rest until the German flag joined to
those of the other powers floats trium-
phantly over China's flag and until it has
been planted on the walls of Pekin to
dictate peace to the Chinese. You viii
have to maintain good comradeship with
the other troops whom you win cone in
contact with over yonder. Russian,
British, French, all alike are fighting for
one common cause-for civilization. We
must bear in mind too, something high
er, nameIy-our religion and the religion
and defence and protection Of our brothers
out there, some of whom stake their lives
for the Saviour. The flags which here
float above you go under fire for the first
time, see that you bring them back to me
clean and stainless without spot. My
thanks, my prayers and my solieitude go
with you.
