tion in perhaps an aggravated form,
involving comparisons between Off
GERS that must necessarily be eX-
trelnely bitter and damaging to the
morale of the naval service.
The disagreement of the court of
inquiry came as a shock. There arc
two reports. Admirals Denham and
Ramsey concur in the first, which is
highly condemnatory of the actions
of Schley all through the West Indian
campaign. He is found culpable on
/ counts. Admiral Dewey makes a
separate report. Dewey thinks Schley
did his whole duty in the West Indian
campaign, and that he and not Samp-
son is entitled to the glory of de-
stroying Cervera's fleet, saying moth
ing, however, about the retrograde
movement and the alleged disobedi-
ence of orders,
1t is the prevailing impression that
Schley, either through friends or di-
rectly, will appeal to congress for a
full investigation, subject to none of
the restrictions imposed on the naval
court.
Secretary Long has taken no action
on the opinions of the court, but it is
believed he will make an Endorsement
in few days, although he is puzzled
as to what to do in the case. His
position, as expressed in his letter to
the senate of February 6, 1899, which
is also admittedly that of large ma
jority of naval officers, especially the
younger men. is regarded as fully vim
dicated by the two retired rear-ad-
m,rals; but the highest ranking Off
cCr in active service has taken radical
issue with him.
Digest of Majority Report.
The report of the majority of the
court of inquiry finds that Commo-
dcrc Schley's tactics before Cienfue-
gcs and Santiago, as well as on the
trips TO both points, were subject to
serious criticism. 1t finds against
him in every point, but declares it's
approval of his personal behavior
during the Santiago battle. 1t finds
that he did not proceed with dis
pc tch; that he did not use every eff
fort to learn if the Spanish squadron
was at Cienfuegos; that it would
have been possible for him to coal his
. fleet at sea; that the various ships
Of the feet had ample coal supply for

conduct of the campaign was "char-
acterized by vacillation, dilatoriness

Announcement Made Today of the
Marriage of Miss Emmyline'Werve
to Calvin Stewart.
WAS KEPT SECRET MANY MONTHS
Well Known Young People Were Married
at the Home of the Groom in Ionia,
Mich, on June 14th of Last Year.

announcement was made today of
the marriage of Calvin Stewart, the
well known young attorney of the
city, to Miss Ennmy1ine Werve, a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Matthias
Werve, of Grand avenue.
The wedding ceremony which united
two so well known young people was
celebrated at the home of the groom
father in Ionia, Michigan, on the
evening of June 18th, 1900, but for
reasons of a private nature the an
nouncement was withheld until today.
At the time of the wedding Miss
Werve was visiting with friends in
Tonia and after the wedding was over
she returned with her husband to Ke-
nosha, but no announcement of the
wedding was made to even the near
relatives of the contracting parties.
The wedding was announce to the
immediate family of the bride only a
few days ago.
Mrs. Stewart is one of Kenosha's
fairest daughters. She has resided in
this city all her fife and has always
had large circle of friends who will
be pleased to join in tardy congrau1a-
tons on her happy marriage.
Mr.. Stewart is son of Joel Stewart,
of Ionia, Mich. He has resided in
Kenosha for the last three years and
during that time he has made a
reputation for himself among the
practicing attorneys of the city
and cOt1r1tv At the last civ election
he was elected Justice Of the Peace,
defeating the two other candidates.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart expect to go
to housekeeping within short time at
their new home at 733 Park avenue.
They will be at home to their friends
after June 1st.
While the announcement of the we'd
ding will undoubtedly come as a sur
prise to even the friends of the young
people the congratulations from all
sides will be none the less hearty.

Street Railway Company Begins Lay
ing Tracks on the East Side
OF Main Street.
THE ORDINANCE GIVES NO BAR.
Company Has Right to Lay Single Track
Where 1t W1ll.-Property Owners File
Kicks But They Are of No Effect

The Kenosha Street Railway met
with more trouble Friday evening
when the work of laying rails on Main
street started, as it was discovered at
that time that the track was being laid
on the east side of the street and not in
the center of the street, as it was sup
posed the ordinance had demanded.
Several property owners at once made
objection to rails being laid anywhere
save in the center of the street and a
hurried consultation was held between
the city officials and the street railway
men. The railway men had all the
better of the deal and they trotted out
the ordinance with reassuring smile
and showed the officials that they were
living up to every provision of the or
dinance.
There seems to have been an error
in the ordinance, for it does not pro-
vide where a single track may be laid.
In case of double tracks the ordinance
provides that the middle of the space
between the double tracks shall be the
center line Of the street, but this clause
does not in any way refer to the single
tracks. This fact has been forcibly
presented to the officials by Mr..
Arnold and his associates and it is ev-
ident that the city has no redress un-
less by some compromise with the
company.
It was stated this morning that the
company had placed the road on the
east side of the center for the purpose
of avoiding the payment of a rebate
for pavements to west side property
owners but this is denied by officials
of the company who state that the
road is simply being laid in this 1oca-
ton so as to provide for the building
of double track if such a track should
ever be necessary.
The special committee on streets and
alleys interviewed the men at work
and the superintendent, but no effort
was made to sstop the work as it was
evident that the company had not over
stepped any of its rights.
The pavement will not be replaced
at once, and in the meantime the
Council may be able to reach some
compromise with the company where
by the road will be moved to the CEN
ter of the street. The present location
will make 1.-THE street unsight1y when
the road is completed.

APRIL WAS A DRY MONTH.
Weather Man Saws It Has Beaten All
Records for Drouth.

All records for drouth in the month
of April for many years have been
broken by the past month and unless
copious rains fall soon great damage
will result to the agricultural interests
of the state. Although generally sup
posed to be a month of transforms, less
than one-ha1f inch of rain has fallen,
and if April showers are to be depend
ed upon to bring the flowers there will
be very few flowers this spring.
During the entire month only 0:43
inches Of rain has fallen, while the ay-
erage rainfall for April is 2.90, being
nearly three inches. The dryest April
heretofore was in 1881 when the rain
was O.78. That was a remarkably dry
month, but even at that there was
nearly twice as much rain as this year.
In 1881 the rainfall in the month of
April was 0.83, SO that last month
breaks all records in most startling
manner. The heaviest rainfall for
April was in 1871, when $50 inches
fell.

About Titled People.

The prototype of the Princess de
Chimay, @hO sacrificed rank, wealth,
and an impregnable position in society
to follow her gypsy lover, is to be
found in certain prince Of RouTnania.
She, to be sure, was not born under
the purple, while he had known moth
ing but the distinction of rank from
his cradle. Still both alike threw
away the glitter of life and took up
an existence infinitely less exalted.
Rumor must be trusted for the state
ment that neither one is very happy.
Prince Ghika comes of long line Of
Roumanian diplomats, and is himself
the son of a former senator. The bO-
hemian fever, none the less, was hot
in his veins so that before he had
reached 20 Prince Ghika had married
a circus rider. Naturally he was dis
owned by his outraged parents, but
this did not prevent him, at their
death, from inheriting the family
fortune. When the money was spent
as soon happened, and the prince was
forced to take a more serious view
of life, his wife's influence procured
him an engagement in a circus. In
this role, new as it was for one Of the
proud Ghika family, he succeeded so
well that he was given place Of
authority. Now he is distinguished as
the only prince in the world who man
ages a circus.

him and examination showed that the
hand had been so badly smashed that
it was necessary to amputate three of
the fingers. The young man is rest

employed at the mill and the sad acct
dent is greatly regretted by his friends

THERE is so much business on Wall

with making money and are clamor-

parties hitherto unknown, whose hns-
bands have been medd1ing with the
markets and making money. And in

late and advises them to lay by little
while the crop is good.
