Kent, Aug. 25.-On Wednesday,
evening August %, at the home of the
brides uncle, j. n. Nisely, near Kent,
occurred the marriage of Alfred Peter
son to Miss Cora Nisely, in the pres
ence of about seventy-five invited
guests, friends and relatives of the
contracting parties. Rev. E. r. Nc

church at Cromwell, performed the

gave out. Nothing could have been
more beneficial than these cross-coun-
try marches, for they showed that gar
rison life in American forts and bar
racks does not keep the individual
soldier sufficiently hardened to make
long march. Hereafter there will
be many such tramps for the regulars.

transportation, therefore, is very i'm
portant consideration, particularly as
the appropriation by congress is insult
ficient to defray all the expense and
the states have to pay part of the
transportation of their troops over
long distances. This was one consid,

THE ALBA cHAuTAUQUA.
Second Assembly Starts Out With
Elatterinq Prospects.


Abba. Aug. 25--The Second Annual
assembly of the Abba Chautauqua As
ISOLATION is now on, and the attendance
is even greater than was anticipated
by the management. Last year there
was a deficit in the treasury Of few
hundred dollars, but if the attendance
keeps UP like 1t started that Will pc
wiped out and there will be balance
left that can be carried forward to next
years session. Dr. Mcdowell was the
attraction yesterday, with Governor
Hanley this afternoon. There are
a great many more tenters this year
than formerly and the park Is a veri-
tible tented city The sessions will not
close until Saturday night Of next
week, and with good weather there IS
the promise of great crowds during the
entire week. There are no better pro-
grams than the one that has been Sc

Abba Capitalists Invest.

majority of the stock of the Acme
Electric and Telephone Manufacturing
company Of Chicago and the plant Will
be moved to this city. A location has
already been secured and the contract
let for the erection of a building, ~
x1S2 feet. This will be used as the
for it's completion by the first of DC

tory will make all kinds of telephone
apparatus. 1t is also contemplated to
put in class of machinery that Will
permit them to make anything in the
mechanical line. A few factories is
what Abba needs, and this zone
coming, not asking a bonus or anything
else, meets with the approval of all
the merchants and the people.

Has Health Record.

Another reason why Mt Gretna was
adopted was because Of its excellent
health record. Never has there been
a fever scourge at Mt. Gretna in all
its history as a military camp. Camp
Roosevelt has been in operation about
a month, and has been attended by
from 5000 to 1000 regulars perman-
emily and by from 5000 to 5000 state
troops who make weekly stays there,
and there has not been one case of
serious illness in the hospital.
The Typography of Camp Roosevelt
is such that after several days of rainy
Neutrality-suspicious. which General
Grant said would make miserable
morass of many camp-within half
hour after each rain had passed the
entire camp was as CRY as could be
desired for drills, and never was there
time when the tents became uncom-
Portable.

good management have made our first

ion Of regulars and militia big sue

DELEGATES WILL
 ATTEND CONGRESS
BUSINESS MEN INTERESTED IN RIVER AND LABOR IMPROVE
 MENT WILL ASSEMBLE IN AN
 NUAL MEETING TOMORROW.

Congressman Oscar w. Underwood, chairman of the delegation recently ap- pointed by President Robert Jemison Jr., of the Commercial club to attend the National Rivers and Harbors congress at Washington, December and ', has called a meeting of the delegation for tomorrow morning at the Arlington hotel in Wash ington.
 It is understood that several members of the delegation will attend and will take an active part in the proceedings of the congress.
 The naming of the delegation Is the result of an address made before the Commercial club about ten days ago by John H. Fox, member of the executive committee of the National Rivers and Harbors congress.
 MT. Fox in his speech stressed the great importance of river and harbor improve ment to the business and industrial in- terests of the Birmingham district, and called upon the Commercial club to send delegation of business men to the an- nual meeting to be held at Washington this week.
 The purpose of the national organization is to secure, if possible, from the Con gress of the United States an annual appropriation of 5O,OOo,OOo for ten years for the improvement of the waterways of the country. Several members of the executive committee of the organization have spent several months making speeches in almost all the states of the union, educating the people on the sub ject and calling for delegates to the coming meeting.
 It is said that considerable interest has been aroused in all sections of the coun- try and among all classes of business men, and the indications are that the session of the congress tomorrow and next day will be very largely attended
 The delegation from the Birmingham Commercial club is as follows: Oscar Underwood, chairman, T. G. Bush, F. H.
 Crockard, J. w. Mcqueen. J. A. Van Hoose, Sid J. Bowie, T. II. Motion, J.
 M Dewberry. N. H. sewall, P. Byrne.

NOVEMBER REPORT
 OF CHIEF WEIR
WHITE "DRUNKS" THRILLED COL
 ORED-106 GAMBLERS ARREST. ED-"PIsToL VOTING" lNcREAs- INc-sLEcTIoN CASES DROPPED

The November report of Chief Wier, which was completed yesterday, proves most interesting statistical document. The total number of people arrested in No vember was 79O, a decrease from the number arrested during the same month last year The number of whites and negroes arrested is nearly even, the whites numbering SS6, and the negroes 404.
 Perhaps the most interesting feature of the entire report is that during the month of November three times as many white people were arrested on charge of beihs drunk as were colored, the whites numbering 124. and the negroes only thirty. It is always the case that the whites are found in excess of the negro arrests for whisky drinking. but seldom has the difference been so marked.
 During the month the police made az gressive actions against gamblers, in all 1O6 having been arrested; whites. 39; ne- groes, G. The total number were arrested by Officers Street and Parker, who have been assigned the special duty of sup pressing gambling in the city.
 
 The report shows that pistol toting" among the whites was on the increase, nine men in all having been arrested for this offense. The number of negroes charged with carrying concealed weapons was eleven.
 Eighteen arrests were made on charges of fast driving over Twenty first street bridge Five whitc males were arrested on charge of violating the election law, and an interesting feature of this item is that the law was found to be defective by Judge Feagin, and the defendants were dismissed. Five employees of railroads were arrested for blocking the streets, 1t being against the city ordinance for a crossing to be blocked longer than three minutes. Two negroes were arrested for highway robbery, one for arson. two for murder One white ma Twas arrested on charge of forgery.
 Another interesting featu1e of the report is the statement that in one saloon at one time officers arrested seventeen white women the charge against each being ''woman in saloon."
