A MILITARY ROMANCE.

Atlanta Journal: A telegram from
Kalamazoo, Mich. announces the ro-
mantle marriage there of Miss Eliza
beth Vannerson, a Georgia woman, to
Col. Edwin NJ. Irish, a leading lawyer
of the state. The bridegroom was the
colonel of the Fifth Michigan volun-
teers during the Spanish-American war
and was stationed for several months
in Augusta, where he met his bride.
1t was a romantic courtship with plen-
ty of gold braid and brass buttons to
lend interest to the affair Miss Van
nerson is a sister of William H. and
II. l.. Vannerson. of Atlanta. who are
connected with the Southern Flour and
Grain Company. She has visited here
frequently and is well known. Her
home was in Augusta, until her mar
riage Thursday with Col. Irish. The
tele gram from Kalamazoo states the
lady arrived there Wednesday and was
married Thursday. Her brother here,
however. has a letter from his mother
In which it stated the marriage took
place on July l in Greenville. s. c. 1t
was originally intended that the couple
should be married at Caesars Head
and II. L. Vannerson went on from
here to attend the ceremony. 1t is pos
sible that there We're two ceremonies:
one in South Carolina and another af-
Ter reaching Michigan. A business tel
egram called Col. Irish home and the
marriage, therefore. took place earlier
than mad been expected, Mr. H. L.
Vannerson says. The ceremony was
performed at the hotel at GreenvilIe
Immediately upon the receipt of the
telegram. Col. Irish is representing
the state in noted law suit in Michi-
gan and 1t was this that summoned
him home. Col. Irish is a former adj
1utant general of the state of Michi-
gan. He is wealthy and stands at the
head of his profession. He was a ia
vcrite of former Gov. Pingree This is
the colonePs second marriage. He OBJ
tanned divorce from his first wife by
a rather sensa tional suit in which his
better half's Christian Science belief
inquired rather prominently He has a
grown daughter. The coloners second
marriage has created a mild sensation
in his home town

And the future Queen of England de-
parted willingly and gracefully on the
homely errand to the larder.
During a visit paid her in 1888 with
the Crown Prince and Princess of Den
mark the Princess of Wales, after in
specting every part of the Home for
Scandinavian Sailors, said to Mrs Me-
lin, the uperintendent:
Il would like to see the kitchen"
1t was dinner time, and the cook was
frying fish.
Il can cook fish," said the princess
let me show you if l cannot" She
went to the cooking range and deftly
turned the fish in the pan till it had
taken the requisite brown.
The cook looked none too well pleas
ed at ladies in the kitchen, but when,
as the visitors turned to leave, Mrs.
Melin whispered, 1T is the Princess of
Wales who has fried the fish," the cook
showed such astonishment that the
princess burst into hearty laugh.

POINTER STUCK TO 1T.
Hunter Jones Finds His Gyp in a
Tree After Her Bird.
From the New York Sun.

from the New YORK sun.
"Rives Jones of Chicago was shoot
ing quail in Central Arkansas last
February. One day he flushed and hit
a bird, which fell on the far side of a
fence in the edge of woods.
His pointer gyp Chula dropped at
the shot, but then went on at word of
command, climbed the fence and dis
appeared. Jones waited a reasonable
time for her return, then went to in
vestgate.
THE woods were thick and he feared
that the dog in pursuing the quail had
got beyond call.
He went a hundred yards from the
fence, but could not find bird or dog.
Pursuer and pursued had gone from
the face of the earth
Jones called until his voice failed
him, then used his dog whistle until his
cheeks ached. There was no response.
knowing nothing better to do, he
went back to the field stood where he
had stood when he fired, marked care
fully the place where the quail fell and
its line of flight. then resumed his
search. On getting over the fence for
the third time and entering the woods
he went slowly and kept his eyes go
ing from right to left. His patience
and system were rewarded.
Twenty yards in the woods and
five yards to the right stood an old
dead blackberry Near its roots was a
cavity a foot and half wide and pro-
jecting from this cavity was about an
inch of dog tail-just the merest tip.
Jones went hurriedly to the tree,
got hold of the tail and yanked hard.
The dog came with her four legs
braced and her paws raking down a
lot of dried punk. Her eyes, nostrils
and mouth were full of wood particles
and sticking to one side of her mouth
were a couple of quail feathers.
The incident was easily explained.
The quail, being merely winged, had
beaten the dog to the tree by a few
feet and had fiuttered into and up the
cavity probably finding some resting
place ont of reach.
THE dog had gone into the tree and
managed to grasp the bird, but not Sc
curely and the quail had gone farther
up Then the dog stayed, deaf to calls
and whistles, seeming the bird though
unable to see it, hal stifled, but deter
mined to get it, If it took all day.
Jones, not to disappoint Chula, got
a long switch with a fork at it's end,
thrust it up the hollow and endeavored
to get some sort of hold on the quail
but failed. He came away leaving the
bird to it's unenviable fate. The dog
was crestfallen. but. as he says she
had no cause to be-"

WE'RE PRAYING For RAIN.

A terrific thunder storm. accompa-
MED by wind and lightning, swept
across the center of Barlow county.
FIVE miles above Gainesville Sunday
afternoon. At the beautiful country
home of Mrs. NJ. D. Freeman great
damage was done. One large oak tree
near the house was struck by lightning
and three others were uprooted by the
wind A number of others had large
limbs broken off and the grove looked
like a veritable brush heap. Near Fair
view. the country home of Rev. Joe
Jones, a large oak tree was broken off
close to the ground and then turned
completely over. the top resting upon
the stump. The rain did much dam
age to the growing crops. washing the
land. which was very loose from con-
tinuous blowing. A feature of the
storm is that it came up while four
members were in the Methodist church
in Gainesville praying for rain. The
storm did not reach Gainesville, but
heavy rains fell a few miles away.

A FIGHT AT A BAPTIzING.

A baptism at Getzens pond in North
Augusta Sunday was interrupted by a
murderous assault made upon one of
the candidates for baptism For some
time this pond has been used as a
baptizing pool by the Adventists of
Augusta. and a large number of that
faith went there to witness the rite.
One of the candidates was William Nc
Gahee. a young man of excellent char
acter. He had incurred the displeasure
of certain men in the city, who went to
the baptizing for the aVowed purpose
of killing him. AS soon as the baptiz-
ing party arrived an attack was made
upon it, The greater number had gone
to the other side of the pond. and
William was not in the party attacked.
One of the attacking party, said to
have been a man from Augusta,
sprang upon Cumming McGahee with
a knife. aiming a blow at his breast.
which was parted by the latter with
his hand. cutting through the palm.
Others mixed in the fight and the in
vaders were driven off. The wounded
man was brought to the city for sur
gical treatment and his brother was
baptized in due form.

Murphy q Co.'S stock Letter.

New York, July S.-The market show
ed increased inactivity to-day and in
the last hour. the course of prices was
upward. The buying sentiment was
felt most in the high priced issues, but
the early influence apparently at work
was continued good advices regarding
progress on crops. Although there
were early gold export rumors, the
money market ruled easy, and sterling
exchange weakened in the afternoon
st. Paul was the leader; it opened UP
Ia, and after a small reaction made a
fresh advance of 2M then showed a
loss of per cent, but later rallied
81. A better demand for Union Pa
cific carried the price up over a point
New York Central was more active and
advanced nearly per cent. Missouri
Pacific made new high record on the
recent bull movement. The strength
of the leaders influenced general gains
throughout the list. A new market
favorite was found in Chesapeake and
Ohio, who on the prosperity accruing to
the soft coal carrying roads advanced
about per cent. Norfolk and Western
was sympathetically strong, but Hook
ing Valley suffered some reaction. The
bears endeavored to depress sugar but
produced little impression on the price
In the afternoon rumors were circu-
lated of probable large gold exports on
Thursday, and it was also reported
from Boston that a suit was contem-
plated to restrain payment of divi-
dends on United States Steel common,
although these stories were subsequent
ly denied. A sharp raid was made on
the market. and reaction of per cent.
and over were brought about. Colorado
Fuel and Iron broke with special force.
In final dealings. some recovery was
manifested and the market closed at

Local and General News of Ships
and Shipping.

The visit of oil carrying steamships
be delayed for some time owing to the
extraordinary demand for oil at the
North on account of the coal strike.
1t was intended to have oil boats
visiting here about this time. Far
more can be realized upon the oil
elsewhere, however, and consequently
it will be sent to those markets as long
the present demand lasts.
The Cutie Bond Co. expect later to
carry out their original plans in bring
ing fuel oil here. The facilities are
completed for the handling of oil. The
storage tanks are located on the river
oil will dock there to discharge, ana
the chances are that end of the harbor
will be brought into more prominence.
An officer OF the company said yester-
day that the delay is only temporary,
and will probably last no longer than
the sharp demand for fuel oil incident
to the coal strike.
