The Social Event of the Season nj
| jackson, Miss.
Picayune Special.l
Jackson, Miss, April 1.-THE high.
est social circles in two states have
been on the qui vive since the sending
forth, by Major and Mrs. Reuben
Webster Millsaps, of jackson, Miss, of
hundreds of invitations to the mar.
riage of their daughter, Josie, to Mr.
Custom Thomas Fitzhugh, of Memphis
Tenn, which solemn rite was celebra-
ted at the First Methodist church here
tonight.
1t is rare indeed that two young peo-
pie so prominent in social life and so
thoroughly charming personally are
brought together in a union so bril-
liant and happiness SO perfect as this
marriage of Memphis distinguished
son and Jackson's fair young daughter,
lovely and beloved, promises to be. 1t
is statement worn threadbare by con-
slant, and not always correct, usage,
that "the popularity of the young peo-
pie was attested by the handsome dis
play of wedding presents" But upon
this occasion it is difficult to find
words in which to tell, truthfully and
clearly, just how popular Mr.. Fitzhugh
and his bride have been proven, by the
display of really superb gifts that have
come from far and wide, from friends
aud loved ones, to add, each it's quota,
to the already marked beauty of the
rooms and the overlooking happiness
OF the two so lovingly remembered.
Mr.. Fitzhugh, though now brilliant
and successful member of the Mem
phis bar, is native Mississippian, and,
after wide travel and intimate knowl-
edge of society in many cities, he came
back to his parents home to seek his
bride. And surely he could not have
found one fairer, sweeter, more beloved,
in all the breadth of the land, than
this brown-eyed daughter of the Mill
S"fo hOihSt III "hOoO hoPPihCoo oo
many hearts feel tenderest solicitude.
The church, in which the bride has
done such sweet and willing service
since childhood, was beautiful with
the graceful work of loving hands, and
against the cleaning splendor of state
ly palms, wealth of Easter lilies and
hrtlac cham in Of fhnsr ~ xy
At the hour set for the service the
organ, under Mr.. Tobias skilled touch,
changed from tender prelude to the
stately measures of the wedding march,
and the ushers; Messrs. Chalmers AL
exander, David Bishop, Andrew Ben
nett, Richard Griffith, Joe Evans,
Lewis Fitzhugb. entered, followed by
the maid of honor, Miss Miriam Rey-
nolds, of Rome, Ga, who Immediately
preceded the bride, with her father,
Major Millsaps. Mr.. Fitzhugh, with
his best man, United States Senator
Ed Carmack, and the minister, Rev.
William B. Murrah, awaited the party
at the altar, and an impressively sol
emn service followed.
The brides toilette was an exquisite
creation of white chiffon, over silk,
richly adorned with rose point. The
bride carried superb shower bouquet
of roses, and the lovely maid, in a
dainty gown of gold embroidered crepe
de chine (white), carried pink shower
bouquet.
After the services an elegant recep-
ton was held at the beautiful Millsaps
home, on North State street, which
was attended by the two families and
only half dozen intimate friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fitzhugh left by the
Southern tonight for an extended tour
of the eastern cities.

CoNCoCTED BY PRISONERS.
Plan Was to Fill the Jail With Bolo-
 men and Make a Sudden Dash.

Manila, Oct 21.-Owing to the vigil ance of Lieutenant Thomas NJ. Rains, Jr, of the Ninth United States iilfan- try. another slaughter of American troops by insurgents has been sverted. It seems that Lieutenant Baius dis covered prisoner re-entering cell at Carbiga, Island of Samar, where sew era1 were confined, through a hole that had been let in the wall. An investi- gation showed a plan to fill he jail with bolomen and to call the guard, which would be necessary to get the door open, and then to attack the gar rison. It also developed that the in stigators were a priest and the presi- dente, both of whom have been arrest ed, together with several other promi- nent persons.
 Other attempts have been discovered but fortunately frustrated at Pambu- ian and other points in Samar. Sey- eraI persons have been arrested in con- nection with these.
 Achievements are being rushed to Samar Three hundred and thirty ma rines. under Lieutenant Colonel Man. vii c. Goodsell, have gone there on board the United States cruiser New York and two battalions of the Twelfth infantry will start immediate ly for the same destination.

 The Texas and That Claxton Was
 at The Pumps.
 Washington, Oct 21.-After two days rest the Schley court of inquiry re- stunned it's sessions at II o'clock to day. The court was, as usual. prompt in beginning the proceedings and not only the members of the court, but counsel were apparently in brighter and fresh CT frame of mind than usual. After the witnesses of former days had been recalled for the purpose of correcting their testimony, Lieutenant B. w. Wells, Jr., secretary of Commodore Schley during the Cuban campaign, re- sumed the testimony which he had be- gun dn Friday After a few prelim- lnaries, he began his narration of the battle of July 3, and was then ques- toned at some length by MT Raynor before he was turned over to Captain Lemly and Mir Hanna, for cross ex- animation. Other witnesses called for the day were George Edward Graham, the Associated Press correspondent, who were with Commodore Schley on the Brooklyn from the beginning of the campaign at Hampton roads until its close; Lieutenant Edward Simpson, who served on the Brooklyn, and Den his J. Cronin. Among the former witnesses recalled was Captain Fran cis A. Cook who returned to the stand for the purpose of making an eXpiana- tion of his former testimony regarding the boilers of the Brooklyn.
 Captain Hayes of the Brooklyn was the first new witness of the day. He was recalled and made the following statement. "In my testimony some days ago stated that the Oregon was under all boilers having shifted tlcn from the forward to the aft. l stated this from hearSay and presumed it was correct because of the eXtraor- dinary speed shown by the Oregon. find since that she had not shifted the boilers but had steam up on all boil CTS at all times during the Santiago blockade"
 Captain John L. Hannum was next called to correct his testimony. Lieu tenant Thomas F. Carter was next called.
 John l.. Hunley, chief machinist on board the Texas, who last week tes- tified that he was at the throttle of the port engine on July 3, was asked by Lemly as to what other machinists were there at the time He said that he relieved machinist Hill He also said that Claxton, who testified that he was at the port engine when 1t was reversed was stationed at the pumps: He was at the throttle all the time ana he never heard any signal to stop CT reverse. He could not be mistaken about this

GREAT COPPER CENTER.
Movement Now on Foot to Make New
 York One.


 New York. Oct 21.-A movement is on foot, according to the Journal of Commerce, by which it is hoped to make New York a great copper trading center. The project originated in the New York metal exchange where to the present time dealings have been confined exclusively to Lake copper. The latter is produced by d few large concerns. In round numbers the total output of Lakeacopper is about 5O,OOO tons a year. The yearly production of all kinds of copper in the United States amounts to about 270OOO tons. the Lake output consequently repre- Senting scarcely fifth of the total. It Is now proposed to change the rule and establish a contract through which dealings on a large scale, as in other staples, would be- practicable. Since there Is no duty on foreign copper, i'm ported into the United States. the new contract, it is learned. will be made to Include copper from all parts of the world, thus giving a total annual pro- auction of over 500.OO0 tons as a basis of operations in the metal. It is also said that the proposed contract will cover both the rough and refined metal on the basis of not less than 96 per cent of fine copper, metal testing under that not being good delivery. This radical change from present methods of dealing in copper on the exchange is expected by it's projectors to open a new field for operation.

oNLY FOUR VACANCIES.

London. Oct 21.-Candidates for the .'purple'' at the consistory which the Pope usually holds about Christmas time, according to the Rome core .spondent of the Pail Mall Gazette, are arising everywhere. their numbers seeming to increase in proportion to the distance from Rome. The United States, for instance besides the candi- dates of long standing, Archbishops Corrigan and Ireland, who represent opposite tendencies in the American Roman Catholic church. has on this oc- casion two additional aspirants for the red hat. There are only four vacan- cies in the college off cardinals; and the American prelates are thought to have few chances of selection, as the Pope is credited with a determination not to have more than one cardinal in the United States, fearing that the friction and antagonism would be diff ficult to harmoniZe and might be fatal to Catholicism in America

BETTER PAY, LESS POLITICS
That Is What Men at Randolph &
 Cloves Factory Say,

Considerable speculation is being in- dulged in over the final outcome of the suit now going on between George 1T. Cloves and Charles Miller, regarding the right to hold certain stock i'll the firm of Randolph X Gloves, and judg- ing by what can be learned on the outside no one seems to be willing to wager much on the question. One thing appears certain, however, and that is that the ordinary everyday workers in the plant are very well satisfied with the new management and are not hoping for a change of existing condi- tions. It is said that the schedule of wages has been increased considerably since MT Miller bought his stock and that the help don't hear quite so much about politics as they used to SO that dividends paid to the stockholders have not been earned at the expense of those who work there.

The This ana It's Substitute.

MT. H. F. Witherby, a recent trav- eler on the White Nile, describes the sacred bird of ancient Egypt, the ibis, which, he says, very few travellers in that country ever see, because it only visits Egypt during the period of in- undation; but the dragomans, know ing the desire of all foreigners to see the famous bird, point out to them, as a substitute, the buff backed heron, which is really totally unlike the ibis. The head, neck and legs of the lat ter, all bare of feathers, are jet black, in sharp contrast with the pure white plumage of the body. "The wings are edged with black like mourning en- ve1ope, and from each shoulder droop green-black feathery plumes. When flying toward one the bird seems to be streaked with blood, for the wing bones are bare of feathers on the un- der side, and the skin which covers them is of rich vermilion color."- Nature.

Mir Ramon was born.iin Waterbury fifty-seven years ago, but went south in his boyhood and remained there until after the war when he returned to the city of his birth and resided here for a num- Der of years. He kept a grocery store on East Main street and was for a time proprietor Of the restaurant at the New England railroad station. He also conducted a bottling business on Spring street. He served a term in the court of common council and was chief of the police department from March 1874 to March 1875. Later he removed to Canaan where he conduct ed restaurant and from there he moved to Falls Village and opened a hotel Six years ago he purchased a hotel in Hudson and conducted it ever since.

During the war he rose to the rank of sergeant-major and was acting ad- jutant at the close of the war.
