While this firing was in pro- gross the submarine arose again to the surface on the opposite side of the war ship and succeeded in launching a tor pedo unobserved and at close range. The ruse was therefore completely success full.
 The possibility of catching submarine boats in steel nets was shown The nets were of an improved type, larger and considerably stronger than any previous ly employed for the purpose.

 and their friends know.

A large assemblage filled the church. the decorations of which were in exquisite taste An artistic musi- cal programme was rendered by Miss Louella Butler, sister of the bride. Rev. Dr. Lee, pastor, was the officiating clergy man. and the completion of the marriage service at the altar while the attendants waited at the chancel was a beautiful feature. Immediately after the marriage the couple left for Cincinnati and St. Louis. Miss Butler is most beautiful and popular young lady and has a wide family connection in this county. Mir.
