Ceremony Uniting Miss Jarman And
MIR. Uedemann At Charlottesville

The Daily Progress, published at
Charlottesville, Va, September S, has
the following of local interest, Miss
Jarman, the bride, having frequently
visited her sister, Mrs. Harry j. Price,
of this city:
A wedding of much local interest
was solemnized at the First Methodist
Church at IL O'Clock this morning,
when Miss Hope Jarman, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Dabney Jarman,
became the bride of Mr.. Roelants B.
Uedemann, of Jacksonville, Fla.
The bride entered the church on
the arm Of her father, by whom she
was given away. She was attired
in a going-away gown of King blue
cloth, with hat and gloves TO match,
and carried a shower bouquet of
lilies of the valley. The maid of
honor. Miss Catherine Jarman, sister
of the bride, wore a gown of embroi-
dered batiste over pink messaline
with black picture hat and CARRIED
pink Killarney roses. Mr.. f. o.
Uedemann, brother of the groom, was
best man.
Perry, Fred II. Harlan, Kirk Payne,
Lewellyn Tyler, Randolph Warwick
and Bernard Jarman. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. DR.. Gilby c.
Kelly. Miss Mary Sterling was or
ganisf and played the wedding march
from Lohengrin as a professional and
Mendelssohn' wedding march as re-
cessional. During the ceremony she
rendered very softly, Believe Me If

The church was tastefully decora-
ted with palms and pink and white
asters. A delightful reception was
rendered the bridal party last night
at the home of the bride, 419 North
First street. The bride was the re-
cipient of many handsome and useful
gifts, among which was a chest of
silver from the Florida National Bank,
in which Mr. Uedemann holds re-
sponsible position, and is held in the
highest esteem. Mr.. and Mrs. Uede-
mann left on Chesapeake and Ohio

FOUND CLASS RING
Relic Of The Maine-To Be Given to
Lieut.. Merritt's Father

A relic of the wreck of the battle
ship Maine, the gold class ring OF As
sistant Engineer Darwin K. Merritt,
who lost his life in the explosion OF
that vessel in Havana harbor thir-
teen years ago, was received at the
Navy Department yesterday.
Lieutenant Merritt wore this ring
when he met his death, and efforts Of
the army engineers to find it by
screening all the debris on the berth
deck were unsuccessful. A Havana
newspaper announced it had come
into possession of the ring and would
turn it over to the United States au-
thorities.
1t was brought here by Colonel
Black, of the Engineer Board, and
will be delivered by the Navy Depart
ment to Rev. W. w. Merritt, of Red
Oak, Iowa, father of Lieutenant Mer-
rift. The lieutenant's body has been
buried at Red Oak.

FIRE ON NAVY SHIP
Sailors HerOically Fight Flames On
Fire Since Tuesday

Sailors on the receiving ship Han
cock yesterday conquered fire which
had smouldered in the bunkers amid
ships for several days and which had
compelled the flooding of the maya
zine. Not much powder was in the
magazine.
The fire was discovered Tuesday
night. Four hundred tons of soft
coal were taken aboard last July in
a rainstorm and it caked in the
bunkers. Spontaneous combustion,
due to this, is assigned as the origin
of the fire. How long it had been
smouldering cannot be told.
The crew of more than 400 men
worked steadily after the discovery I'M
til this afternoon in removing the
glowing coal, spraying it with water
and transferring it to a barge along
side. Streams of water were played
upon the ship, whose steel plates
were so hot that the paint on them
blistered.
officers of the Brooklyn navy yard,
where the Hancock is lying, made
light of the matter and declared that
the damage would be slight.

CHINESE CRUISER ON THE WAY
Hat Chi Expected To Enter New
York

The first Chinese man-of-war to APP
pear in the waters of the United
States. the cruiser Hal Chi, will steam
up New York harbor under command
of Rear Admiral Ching Pin Kwang
next Sunday.
Besides the regular number of Chi
nese seamen she has on board forty
two officers of the Chinese Navy.
The Hal Chi recently attended the
coronation celebration in England and
by Imperial sanction is to visit New
York, Cuba and certain eastern ports
of Mexico.
Whether she will come to Annapo-
lis is not yet known, but that Adj
miral Ching Pin Kwang wants to see
the institution where officers are
trained for the American Navy is an
established fact. The Admiral and
his suite will visit Beverly to call
upon President Taft before the lat
ter's departure for his swing through
the West. The old sea dog will al
so, it is understood, visit Washing
ton, and if he comes here he will be
escorted from Washington.
