Miss Margaret Claire Will Visit
Here Before Her Marriage
to British Magistrate.

The brilliant career of an Atlanta
girl as singer of grand opera in
Europe, it now seems, will be brought
to an end in the happy and not IN
frequent manner. The engagement of
Miss Margaret Claire, the young
woman in question, whose voice has
won her plaudits in Italy to Aidan
Wilmot, a British magistrate and
member of prominent English fami-
ly, was announced yesterday in a
cable dispatch from London.
Almost simultaneously with that IN
teresting bit of news information
comes that Miss Claire probably will
come to Atlanta next week to spend
considerable time with her relatives
here before returning to England for
the wedding. She is the sister of Mrs.
Joseph Moody, of No. SO Kimball
street; Mrs. ]. A. Branch. No. 7S9
West Peachtree street; Mrs. E. w.
More, No. 30 West Twelfth street,
with whom she probably will spend
most of the time; Mrs. NJ. S. Mo-
ran and Cornelius Sheehan, No. 3l4
Peachtree street.
Miss Claire probably would have
1t known, her friends say, that her
marriage is nN+ to terminate her ca
reer, to the making of which she has
spent many years, and concerning
which her ambition is still lively
However, the marriage will take her
to South Africa, where her husband
is stationed, and away from Italy,
the land of her greatest vogue.
Miss Claire probably will be re-
membered by number of Atlantans
as Miss Margaret Claire Sheehan. En-
tering grand opera, she has bean
known since by her baptismal names.
She was a pupil Of Madame Mar
chest, probably one Of the greatest
modern teachers of voic> culture. She
made her first appearance in grand
opera in Covent Garden, singing
''Rosina," in THE Barber of Sc
Vile" Her formal debut in Italy
was as Yum Yum in an Italian YER
sion of 1.-The Mikado," which was
given in The Pergola, in Florence.
Aidan Wilmot, whom she will mar
nv, is a member of the family in
which she made her most intimate
friends in England. He is stationed
at De Aar, near Port Elizabeth, South
Africa

This is the opinion of officials of

No individual in the steamboat in
spection service to-day was willing
that his name should be used in con-
nection with this charge
In the office of the Commissioner
OF Navigation, which has charge of
the wireless inspection, it was stated
that the tragedy could not possibly
be assigned to a misuse of these in
struments. Both the Monroe and the
Nantucket were inspected this
month, the former on Monday last
and the latter on January 81 Both
ships were equipped with perfect
signalling instruments of full power
and each had two first grade wireless
men on board.

the only warnings that prove effec-

can not tell whether he is within a
mile or a hundred yards of another
ship, nor can he tell the location OF
the other ships, except by longitude
and latitude, which is not exact"
Colonel John w. CAST, in charge OF
the inspection service at Norfolk, and
Captains Robert Tapley and Edward
Bray began secret proceedings al

III. commissioner Of Fisheries reports

The Commissioner Of Fisheries reports
that at a total cost Of less than $40 about
40 600 desirable food and game fish were
rescued from the c. & o. canal after the
water was drawn off in December. The
canal was watched between Great Falls
and Shepherdstown, which se:tion has
been found in previous years to be the
most productive. Three gangs OF men
operating from dawn till dark accomplish
ed the work in three days, and all the
tbe fish left in the pools when the waters
of the canal were drawn off were seined
out and returned to the Potomac river.
OF the number rescued, the large-mouth
and the small mouth black bass constl-
tuted over 1900 crappie, rock bass,
yarmouth bass and other members OF the
bass family, about II 600; and the perch,
catfish and suckers the remainder.
