INTERESTING WEDDING
Two Stories of The Evening Cap
ital" Appear Under
One Head.

A rather tangled up affair was pre-
cipitated this afternoon by tile mar
riage. by Rev. George Bell, in the
pastors study of Ellis H. Ford. aged
25 years of Vineland. n. j., and Anna
Beulah Carter. aged % years, of Pc
tersburg, Va. There were several wit
neses to the ceremony aud every one
seemed we'll pleased. Captain Ford is
the owner of the barge Pierson, which
is ice bound in the harbor.
What makes the marriage rather sur.
prising is the following story which
the Capital" had intended to publish
before the fact of the wedding became
known:
Captain E. II. Ford and wife. OF
Vineland, n. ]. and Miss Lula Fields.
of Petersburg. Va, are registered at
the Hotel Maryland. Captain Ford is
the owner of the barge Pierson
which is ice bound in this harbor
The party walked out on the ice today
TO the barge"
When the couple were seen imme.
ditely after the wedding Captain Ford
was told that the reporter was little
bit mixed in his dates, having perHsed
the register at the Hotel Maryland.
Don't pay any attention to the
register, said Captain Ford, after
thinking a moment, and the matter
wasn't discussed further. Miss Lula
Fields, it might be added. was one OF
the witnesses TO the marriage.

TO INCREASE PENSION.
Senator McComaS Takes An In
terest In Civil War
Veteran.

With the recent publicity given the
history of John jackson, the we'll
known naval veteran of the Civil
War, who lives across the Eastport
bridge, more interest is being taken
in the efforts which have been made
periodically TO increase his pension.
Senator McComas has interested him
self in the aged sailor and has Just in.
troduced bill TO increase his PEN
sion from $40 per month TO $24.
Great hopes are entertained that he
will receive the increase, as it. is said
he is very much in need of the money.
Jackson lives all alone. He was the
last one of the dispossessed tenants TO
leave the ground recently acquired
for the Naval Academy purposes.
When il was found that he must leave
and that he had no place to go officers
at the Naval Academy built him
little house at the foot of South street
on Spa creek. He lived there hut
short time and then moved to Eastport,
where he has since resided.
At the outbreak of the Civil War
Jackson was sailor in the employ of
Uncle Sam. He joined the land forces
and took part in tho battle of Antie-
tam. Then he joined the schooner O.
p. Williams, which was ordered to
Folly Island, where 10000 of the
Union force was waiting to attack
Morris Island. The enemy had mined
the river and torpedoes were placed at
such distances that it would have been
an utter impossibility for a boat to
pass. Volunteers were called for TO
swim out and remove the caps.
jackson was the only one of the
large crew to undertake the task. He
completed his work and the move.
ment of the ships was accomplished
without damage. For this deed he
was publicly commended by President
Lincoln and was presented with a
number of medals and testiomnials.

WAS DYING IN THE WOODS.
TERRIBLE SUFFERINGS OF
WILLIAM JOHNSON.
With Foot Nearly Severed From
His Leg He Lies For
Three Hours in
Snouy

With his left foot nearly severed
from his leg and his blood freezing
sufficiently TO stop loss which would
have resulted in death, William John
son, colored man. lay for three hours
in the woods before help reached him.
Had he remained but short time
longer he would have died from ex-
haustion aud cold.
He is now at the MARYLAND Univer-
sity Hospital, Baltimore. where he
was taken yesterday hy DIR. Dubois,
of Millersville. 1t is Thought that
there is sufficient unsevered flesh 10
keep up circulation which will pre.
vent blood poisoning and the loss of his
foot. johnson was employed by Mr..
Harry Woodward, at Conway, near
Millersville. He was sent into the
woods last Saturday TO cut timber.
He had been at work but a short time
when his axe slipped and passed later
ally through his left foot. It di.
yided the foot in half as far back as
his lnstep and the axe sunk in the
ground considerable distance.
His shoe was cut in two and the
blood spurted over the snow in n man
ner which threatened to cause his
death in a few minutes. The verv
prevented him bleeding 10 death.
After he had lost considerable guam
tity of blood the cold finally caused il
TO stop flowing. In his crippled con
dition he tried TO make his way to the
house, but was soon forced to give up
the effort. Thinking that he must
remain there till death relieved his
sufferings lie drew himself within the
shelter of a small bush and lay down
on the snow.
Three hours later Mr.. Woodward,
thinking it was long past the time for
Johnson TO return, started out in
search of him. He finally came upon
him, so faint that he could scarcely
speak. He explained the nature OF
his condition and Mr.. Woodward at
once set to work to aid him. Covering
him over as best he could ne hurried
back and secured horse and saddle,
as it would have been an impossi bility
to get vehicle of any sort into the
woods. so thick was the snow. John
son was placed on the horse and taken
to the home of DIR. Williams, where
he was given temporary attention.
DR.. Dubois was called into the case
and yesterday removed Johnson 90
Baltimore that he might have closer
attention.

jected to arrest and civil suit for
damages as result of an alteration
at Philaelphia on the day of the last

vindlcated of the charges against him.

by the midshipmen and that the latter
had simply pursued the lad and re-
covered his property without doing
him any injury.

but in spite of the fact q civil suit
was brought against him. This suit
has now been settled, there not being
any evidence on which a verdict ad.
verse to the midshipman could be Sc
