A WEIRD CEREMONY.
Two Young Ladies Welded by Their
Sisters Corpse.

The Rev. Charles P. Grover, of
Penns Manor, N. j., married two of
his daughters Ia the parsonage while
another daughter lay dead in the next
room. The unusual ceremony took
place few days ago and the facts have
just come to light.
Invitations were sent out some time
since for double wedding at the home
Of the Rev. Mr.. Grover. His elest
daughter, Helen, was announced to
marry Dr.. Davenport, of Newark, and
the other contracting parties were An:
ME Grover and William Proudfoot, Of
Dobbs Ferry, N. Y. At the time the
invitations were issued the youngest
daughter Of the family was ailipg, but
her condition was not considered Sc
rious.
Compilations set in and the young
woman grew rapidly worse. A few
days before the date Of the wedding
the Invitations were revoked, but the
family was adverse to postponing the
ceremony. The young men came on to
Perns Manor from their homes, arrlv-
ing on the night that the young girl
died.
There was consultation in the fam
lily, at the conclusion of which the an
noun cement was made that the double
weddiDg should 20 on as originally
planned, save that there would be no
guests. In the ordor Of flowers about
their sisters coffin, only q few feet
away, Helen Grover became Mrs. Dav-
export aud Annie Grover became Mrs
prvudfoot. De- Grover performed the
cere uonv, which was held at o'clock
in the afternoon.
Tue quartette of newly married did
not 20 on bridal tour They attend
ed the funeral Of the dead girl the next
day, and at this the father othclated
also. The iDternent took place at
Nit Airy Maryland, and besides the
parents the chief nourners we're Mr..
and Mrs. Davenport and Dir. and Mrs.
prov6foot.

A DUTY TO the State.

Editor Aull, of the Newberry Herald
and News, who is also private secretary
to Governor McSSeeney aud president
of the State Press Association, writes
to his paper: Il noticed in the pa
pers the other day that Mr. G. 4.
Woods, of Darlington, had been sug-
gested as the man 10 succeed Dr.. Car
lisle as president of Wodord College,
and that Mr.. Woods promptly came out
in card and said he hoped there would
be no necessity for successor to Dr.
Carlisle for many years yet. | most
heartily concur. Though | see very
little Of Dr. Carlisle, yet l know Of his
work and of the great influence he IS
exerting for good over the lives Of the
young men of the State, and | hope to
see him remain in his present position
until the summons comes from above
for him to lay down his srmor aud pass
his mantle to other SHOULDERS and join
the hosts who have gone before. 1t
will be time enough then to discuss his
successor. The truly great men in this
State, like DR.. Carlisle, should remain
where their influence will be grea est
in shaping the lives and characters OF
the young"

GETTING AT TIE TRUTH,
Some Startling Developments in the
Goebel Assassination Case.

There were some startling de-
velor-ents in the Goebel assassination
case at Frankfort, KY, on Tuesday
That afternoon W. H. Culton, who
waived examination and was held over
to the circuit court, went to the Capt.
tol hotel, where he was in conference
with the attorneys for the prosecution
for over two hours. He was accom-
panied by his brother in-law, Z. 4.
Hogg, who is also his attorney. Cul
ton was reported to have made a con-
fession, but later it developed that the
information gained was not as sweeping
as thought. His friends admit that he
gave the prosecution such information
as he had and which had heretofore
not come out.
Henry e Ycutsey, Republican Audi
tor SHeeney's clerk, was arrested at
noon and locked up in Jail, charged
with being an accessory to the assas-
sination. He is a half brother Of Hon.
L. j. Crawford, prominent Republi
can of Newport, and detectives arrest
ed him as the man With the black
moustache whom Golden mentioned as
being given the key to Caleb Powers
Office. Youtsey complained that the
prosecution had broken faith in arrest
ing him, and it is stated he is ready to
make public statement for which the
prosecution is not anxious at this time.
At the examining trial of the Repub-
lican Secretary of State Caleb Powers,
the court room was cleared of all per-
sons except attorneys, newspaper rep
resentatives and court officers. The de-
fense announced they would introduce
no testimony and rendering Governor
raS lors pardon Of powers, asked the
defendant be dismissed upon the evil
dence. The commonwealth disputed
Tsylors right and the court oveTruled
the motion. Bail vas asked for. Judge
Moore said:
1T is not my belief that Powers fred
the shot which killed Gov. Gobel, but
from the evidence it is my opinion that
he was connected with the conspiracy
to kill him. shall therefore order
that he be held over without bail to the
Franklin county grand jury that the
case may be further investigated"
Culton's counsel announced that Cul-
ton would waive examining trial aud
by agreement of the attorneys he will
remain at home with his sick wife, un-
der private guard Capt. John Davis also
waived examination and was admitted
to bail in the sum Of So, GOO. He vas
locked up for the night. The Demo:
cratic militia will be retained here till
after April term of the circuit court
which begins Monday aud at which
Secretary Powers and others are to be
t,ied.

BLOW TO B0ERS.
Their Greatest General Dies Of
Disease at Pretoria.
HONORED AND ADMIRED.
Press Of England and France Pay
Tribute to the Patriot
and Gallant Gem
tleTan.

A dispatch from Pretoria says Gen.
Joubert, the abiest Boer commander,
lied at that place on Wednesday from
q stomach trouble. The dispatch also
says the town is plunged into mourning
for the true patriot, gallant general aud
upright and honorable gentleman. The
Pretoria correspondent Of the Londoa
Daily Nail telegrathed Wednesday as
follows:
Gen. Joubert died Of peritooitis.
The funeral will take place Thursday.
The government is pleading with the
widow to allow temporary interment
here, with state funeral. Jouoert
always expressed desire to be buried
in nauso!en built on his farm. His
successor in the chief command will
probably be Gen. Lewis Boths, aow
commanding in Natal"
The London newspapers publish long
biographies of Gen. Joubert, referring
to him in a kindly tone. The Pail
Mali Gazette says: ''Piet Joubert was
the ono contemporary Trans7aal Boer,
except ex. Justice Kotze, whose death
could call forth sincere tribute Of re-
spect from Elgishmen Of all parties.
He was the autiphodes 10 the Trsns-
vaal world Of Leyds, and personally,
was honest, straight and clean handed. !"
A dispatch from Paris says the press
of that city is unanimous 10 eulogiziog
the late Gen. Jouoert, whose death Is
considered serious loss to the feder-
ais. All the papers agree in thinkiog
that change in the chief command is
bound to have grave consequences f1r
the Boer operations. Many think,
however, that President Kruger is full
ly equal to the task, and that, consid-
ering his military reputation the resist
ance of the Beers is likely to become
more stubborn than ever.

Brought 20 Light by the Death OF .
Clerk in Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 4.-The
di-cOvery Of a suppO-ed error Of ST.
600 in the books of George Grltfiths,
detpased, late clerk of the board OF
education Of Cincinnati, led to an
examination of his books wi h start
ling results. A special meeting OF
the board has been called to take
action in the matter. The inyesti-
cation so far made is said TO show
that Griffiths was a d-faulter to the
amount Of about 100000. The dis
covery Is all the more startling from
the fact that Griffiths had been a
clerk for l3 years and had always
had the entire confidence of the
whole community. 1t is with great
pain that this revelation has been
made as no city officer had a better
reputation than the deceased. His
estate is said will not meet more
than One-fifth 1T the shortage and
his bOndsnn-n will have TO make up
the remainder.
