MARlE-JOSEPHE DE SAxA
French and Spanish Inside History of

ago. the very interesting memoirs OF
the Countess Potocka. He now pub
ishes a book which contains not so
much original matter, but which,
nevertheless, is valuable, since, &C
cording TO the rules of the new his

The son OF Louis XIV. had two wives.

Spain, Maria Teresa Raphaelli,
daughter of Philip V. and OF Elizabeth
Farnese, arrived from Spain in 1745,

nobody at the French court except her

Successor to the lnfanta.


The court at Madrid and a great
party at Versailles desired that the
dauphin should marry at once Antonio,
the sister OF Maria Teresa. But at
that time there was still a great re-
pugnance to unions between brother
in-law and sister-in-law (these mar
riages continued forbidden in France
in the code Napoleon and became legal
only after the Restoration): AS
France was at the time at war with
Austria. the princess chosen was a
daughter of the elector Of SaXOny. VINO
was on the throne Of Poland. Marie
Josephe de SAKE was only fifteen
years old NJ. Stryienski gives us,
with the most minute details, the story
the marriage. of all the ceremonies, of
the court functions, and of the popu-
lar rejoicings which accompanied this
event. The marriage was celebrated
on the 9th of February, six months at
ter the death of the first dauphinesS.
The principal negotiator in the af-
fair of the Saxon marriage was the
cOuQueAtOI oI tOnIenOS- the ldluOuS
Marshal Maurice de SAKE, who, by his
victories had obtained great credit at
the court Of Versailles. His letters
are more amusing than are mere dip
lomatic documents For instance, he
is describing the French court to the
mother of the young princess
ITO succeed here" says he. there
must be no superciliousness nor famil-
iarity $ The women of the
court have all esprit like devils and
are cOrrespondingly wicked They
will never be wanting in respect to
her (the future dauphiness) but they
which they have perpetually among
will try TO involve her in the quarrels
themselves. and this is far from laugh
able or amusing. The king does the
same. If anything displeases her. let
her address herself to the king He
is the only person in the court with
whom she must have no reserve. She
must look upon him as her asylum,
her father. and tell him everything
good or bad. as it comes, without any
disguise. With all the rest, I recon-
mend reserve. If she practices that

LONG STRIKE IS SETTLED
Electrical workers and Thomson
Houston Company Come to
Agreement.

The trouble which has existed for more
than two years between the local union Of
electrical workers and the New Omaha
Thomson Houston Electric Light company
was settled yesterday morning. ending a
strife which has probably caused more
trouble In the building trades OF the city
than any which has ever taken place.
The settlement was forced by conditions
which arose In the letting of contracts for
wiring the musical festival tent and
grounds. The work was OF pressing char
acter and the committee had employed a
superintendent and was doing the carpen-
ter work by day labor. When bids were
called for for electrical work 1t was un-
derstood that the committee would favor
the employment OF union labor to the ex-
tent Of paying as much as $3.50 In excess Of
the lowest bid II that bid was made by a
firm employing nonunion labor. When the
bids we're opened It was found that two
had been made, one by the e~lectricf COM
pany and the other by a hrm employing
union labor. The difference in the
bids was 1857 and the superintend-
dent Of the festival could not reconcile the
difference with the amount Of difference
In wages on any basis. When the matter
was brought before the union carpenters
employed at the grounds they advised the
superintendent to close with the electric
light company. saying that they would not
stand for such a difference In the figures.
This was done and the company made prep
arations TO begin yesterday morning.
At noon Sunday there was a conference
between the manager Of the electric light
company and the business agent Of the
Electrical Workers union at which IL was
decided to call the strike on. According TO
the agreement each competent employe OF
the company is to be admitted to member
ship in the union and a scale OF wages,
with nine hours to constitute a days work,
has been agreed upon.
Each OF the employees OF the company at
the musical festival grounds has Joined the
union and this morning the other en-
ployes will be given an opportunity to do
the same thing.

TO OPEN A NEW ROAD
IT WILL BE BUILT FROM ADA
TO RAINIER.
Beard of Revenue Directs That Peo-
pie Of Southern Montgomery
County Be Given Access
to the City.

The Board of Revenue Of Montgomery
County decided yesterday to grade the
road from Ada to Ramer, giving num-
Der of citizens Of Montgomery County ac-
cess TO the markets Of the city from
which they have been excluded for some
time on account of the roadways of
South Montgomery County.
The matter has been before the Board
OF Revenue for some time but not until
yesterday were the membrs able to de-
eide definitely en- opening up that coun-
try.
DR.. l.. r. McCrummin President OF
the Board, was the author of the motion.
He told the Board that for the past sew
eral years all the produce of the country
between Ada and the Pike County line
had been going to Troy to be marketed
instead of to Montgomery. Between
Sprague and the County line there Is a
fair road and the farmers, chose to go
by this road to Troy than by mere
hog path to Ada and thence to Mont
gomery.
From Ada DR.. McCrummin said the
roads to Montgomery are as good as they
are anywhere and the South County peo-
pie had been longing for some time for
an opening to the city.
j. M. Barnes and several other citizens
of Highland Home, Mt. Carmel, Strata
ana other villages near the Crenshaw
County line, urged the Board to open the
country to the Crenshaw County farm
ers by extending the road from Ada to
Strata.
The motion OF DIR. McCrummin was
adopted.
A petition was fled by the citizens of
Stone Street asking that that street be
repaired by the Board Of Revenue.
The Board held that as Stone Street Is
not a County road 1T had no jurisdiction
in the matter.
1t was reported to the Board that the
repairs contemplated on the bridge over
Catoma Creek on the Showdown Road.
were impracticable as nothing short of
renooring the bridge would be of any
service.
County Engineer John Carrot was in
structed to investigate the condition of
the bridge and report at the next meet
ing of the Board.
The bridge over Line Creek was ordered
repaired and several of the County forces
will be sent there this week to do the
work.
The Alabama Compress Company re-
ported that the Jackson Ferry road be-
tween Montgomery and the compress was
in a bad condition. The County Engi-
neer was instructed to investigate the
matter.
Bills of the Sheriff and Probate Judge
for ex-officio duties were presented to
the Board and ordered paid.
Bills against the fine and forfeiture
fund held by w. r. Waller, w. A. La
Prade and L. w. Davis, were ordered
to be paid as far as the fund would al
low in proportion to the claim of each.

I'm April last visited the DEPARTMENTS

My visit was In every respect. de-
lightful one. but most gratifying OF all
was the cordial good feeling found ex-
listing between the Union and Confeder-
ate soldiers. ! affirm without hesitation
hoA ~ I'D A.
rades in the South are the surviving ex-
Confederates. This friendship Ii based
upon the mutual respect which one good
soldier has for another. and had It not
been for the bronze button would often
have been unable to distinguish between
the blue and the grey, for the cordial well
come extended by the one was equaled
by tho generous hospitality preferred by
the other. In all my journey found no
sectional lines suilen faces or closed
doors. One marked contrast, however,
distinguishes the surviving soldiers of
the two armies. The national govern
ment has properly made generous pro-
vision for her defenders. but whatever
aid the ex-Confederates receive must
come from their more fortunate COM
rsdes. or from the municipalities in which
they reside; and while the people of the
South have In spirit worthy of the high
est praise. done much to relieve their ne
cessities. the nations wounds have not
yet been fully bound.
AT the close of the war the Southern
people were too impoverished to make
adequate provision for. those who suffer-
ed from disease and wounds and the re-
suit was that many Confederate soldier

buried in a pauper's grave.
