an Usher.

Cape Charles, Va, Feb. 2S.-The
butting in Of a dog was the cause of
CONSERVATION during a marriage cere-
mony in the Baptist Church of East
Vile yesterday: The animal dashed
wildly into the edifce while the bride
and groom were marching to the al
tar and sprang upon the back of Ar
thur Addison, one of the ushers, grab
bed his coat between its teeth and was
making efforts to tear the garment
from his back. The wedding party
was thrown into a panic and the whole
church was in an uproar, many Of the
women leaving, thinking the ANNA!
was suffering from rabies. The dog
was finally forced to release its hold
and was elected.
1t developed that the dress suit worn
by the victim of the dogs teeth had
been borrowed from its master. The
animal had wandered into its masters
room and. taking scent of the mis-
sing clothing, followed it into the
church and made the attack. The Incl
dent occurred during the marriage
ceremony of Harry Roberts to Miss
Mabel Hemming, daughter of
Rev. Ernest Hemming. The dog is a

EXPERTS WILL DISAGREE.
Com missioners Mix Again on Tronble
some Potomac Bivalyes.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 2S.-Althougf
the joint oyster commission, composed
Of scientific representatives from
Maryland, Virginia and the United
States Department of Agriculture, has
agreed to make a third Investigation
and analyses of Potomac river oysters
about March -, there is promise OF
nothing but disagreement when the
time comes for the preparation of the
final report Of the investigations.
Whatever the conclusions reached in
the formal report Of the commission,
th:re is sure to be minority report.
differing in toto from the findings Of
the official document.
On the two previous investigating
! trips down the Potomac the Commits
sions have disagreed wonderfully on
the Interpretation to be placed upon
the presence of certain bacilli in the
river bivalves. The first trip was
made by the commission in Septem-
ber,and when the commissioners met
in Washington several weeks later to
compare the results Of their separate
analysis and draw conclusions, almost
as many opinions as there are COM
missioners were expressed. The same
lack Of harmony attended the investl-
@aticn made in December. In the
main, the commissioners chemical and
meteorological analysis agreed, but
each had his own interpretation Of the
meaning Of the analyses.
Having taken tests in the fall and
winter, the commission plans to take
third test in the spring and pos
s:bly fourth about July. This will
give reliable analyses Of oysters for
ever season of the year, and add
weight to the final report which the
commission is to render. There is lit
tie prospect that the written findings
OF tie commission will be ready for
publ cation before summer, although
il nay be decided to give out the re-
suits after" the March tests.
