Ladies.
A London cable eays ; Prineess Louise, of
Schlessewisellolstein, granddaughter of the
Queen of °England, was marrted at St.
George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, shortlsr
after 4 o'clock this afternoon to Prince Ari -
beet of Anhalt with goat splendor.
The ceremony took phsce in the presence
of a brilliant eompany, including Queen
Victoria and the members of the English
loya,l family and the Emperor and Empress
of Gerrnansa
Thousands upon thousands of people
thronged, into Windsor to -day, As the
hour fixed for the ceremony -4 o'clock in
the afternoon—drew near, Windsor Castle
and its neighborhood were fairly alive
with people. Not since the marriage of the
late Duke of Albany has the castle been
mrowdecl with so many distinguished people
and not since that event has St. George's
Chapel been so crowded with members of
eve!. families. The decorations of the
Ohapel were grand The stalls of the
Knights of the Garter were set aside for
some of the most important guests and the
Bray a,nd Rutland chapels were fitted
as retiring rooms. The route fol-
, lowed by the procession was the same as
that taken at the wedding of the
Duke of Albany. This route was lined on
both sides with troops, and at the castle
„guards of honor were mounted at every
available point. The Royal standard of
Great Britain, from the highest tower of the
e.astle, floated proudly over the whole, while
here, there ancl everywhere were dazzling
einiforms, gorgeous staffs, and state car-
riages containing diplomats, statesmen,
generals, admirals, prance* of minor degree,
and high church dignitaries.
'The .Archbishop of Canterbury officiated.
The Dean and Canons of Windsor were the
only clergymen besides the Primate within
the chancel rails. There were six brides-
maids : Lady Edith Ward, Lady Emily
Cadogan, Lady Mabel Egerton, Lady
Esther, Gore, Lady Elizabeth. Meade and
Miss Bridgeman. The Anhalt family are
the guests of Prince and Princess Christian
at Cumberland Lodge.
Most of the outlay in connection with the
wedding is to be paid by the Queen. With
respect to the "fortune," the Queen settled
$500,000 upon Princess Christian on her
marriage and. Princess Louise will obtain

Loran's WEDDOG OUTFIT.
Cousin Madge writes in London Truth :
"-The wedding , dress is ,lovely. The ma-
terial is the orthodox white satin, very rich
in texture, and in a beautiful shade of
white. The front is covered with fine
Honiton—the same lace that Princess
Christian wore at her own wedding. It
was designed by the Prince Consort for the
Queen's wear, and is therefore highly prized
by the family. Two deep flounces cover
the front, and more of it is very prettily
arranged upon the bodice, which is low, and
has elbow sleevea composed of laee lined.
'only with chiffon, so that the arms are
-s,.divined through the two airy fabrics. Little
epaulets of the lace, lined with. chiffon,
adorn the shoulders. The veil is to be of the
same lace. Princess Christian wore it also
on.he.r wedding day.
"The going -away dress is, like that of
the Duchess of Fife, made of white sicil-
lenne'trimmed with ostrich feathers and a
little lace. The bride is to wear a sweet
- little white bonnet with it, also trimmed
with white feathers and lace.
"There is a deliciously •pretty dress
prepared for the occasion of the young
bride's arrival at her husband's home in
Gerinany. It is made of the finest cash-
mere, than which there is no more beauti-
ful.material, in a lovely tone of golden
fawn. color. The skirt, which is hung quite
plainly, without drapery, has a band of
beautiful embroidery on fawn silk net,very
wide in the mesh, through which a lining of
prawn pink silk is visible. The embroidery
itself has an applique of circles of the
cashmere buttonholed with fawn silk, the
connecting brides being in raised satinstitch
of the same. Th.e sleeves are made entirely
of this embroidery over pink silk, and the
-upper part of the bodice is principally com-
posed of it. The back is quite plain. There
is a sweet little cape to match. The hat
has a wide brim of drawn pink lisse.
"The Queen has given the bride some
splendid old Venetian point, and this has
beeia cleverly adapted to axi evening dress of
Gobelin-blue brocade in wide panels down
the front, and a band round the border of
the skirt. The bodice is an instance of
peculiar skill in the arrangement of the
lace. Bands of it pass up from the waist
and the shoulders on either side of a small,
pleated vest of the brocade and on the
ehould.ers the lace forms epaulettes filled out
-with chiffon, the rich, creamy tint of the
lace contrasting beautifully with the pure
-white of the chiffon. A band of the lace is
arranged upon the bodice an inch or two
below the waist.
"There is a lovely ball dress in butter-
cup -yellow Irish poplin, draped with chiffon
in the same glorious color, the daughter
of light,' as the Chinese call it. The bodice
is; truly sweet, the chiffon being laid on it
in berthe-like folds, which meet in the
centre in a dainty rosette, looking like a
flower for freshnees and a cloud for softness.
The sleeves are also in chiffon, brought
round the arm from beneath and caught up
on the shoulder with tiny rosettes of the
chiffon.
"A handsothe evening dress is in brocade,
the ground flame color, the design in golden
cream color. ThiS is trimmed with velvet
in the color of the ground. The front is
covered with Brussels lace, the sight of
which made me break the tenth command-
ment.
"Among other of the trousseau dresses is
a very pretty blue and silver brocade, a
charming evening gOWn of apple -green
poplin and ehiffon, and a white ribbed -silk -
ball -dress trimmed with deep coffee -colored
lace and large yellow buttercups. The
biscuit4int of the lace looks particelarly
wellon the white skirt
" A little striped tennis -dress, in sea -Tillie
and sepia, has charms of its own. Even
more attractive is a navy-blue fancy ma-
terial, with a plastron of cardinal satin, a
few tiny tuelre crossing it juet under the
chin, and the bodice being completed just
below the waist by a fOlded band of cardinal
ribbon."
4 Underclothing was not on show, and the
number of theme was not great ; but there
were enongh of furls, pieces; of silk, satin,
lace, moueseline de soie, etookinge, and

THREE TIMES, JAIL.
The New taw as to Drunkenness Takes
Effect in Massachusetts,
A Boston despatch says : Massachusetts'
new law regulating drunkenness went into
effect on the 1st. The law briefly is this :
When an officer arrests a man or woman
for drunkenness, it is his clay when his
charge becomes sober to ask him if he has
been drunk twice during the lest year. If
the answer is in the negative he is required
to make an affidavit to that effect Then
the prisoner must be released and the affi-
davit is given into the hands of the pro-
bation officer, who investigates the case,
and if it should be found that tho man
arrested was up for drunkenness more
than twice a warrant can be obtained
from the judge. According to the new
law no fines can be imposed for the
offence, and the only punishment is
imprisonment, the sentence varying from
one day to one year. Officers were in a
quandary on Tuesday night as to what
should be done with the arrests made, as
they would have to act under the old law in
arresting and under the new in prosecuting.
The result was that 54 men and 8 women,
held for drunkenness, were let off scot free
on Wednesday. One old Irishman how-
ever, was apparently oblivious of this revo-
lution in the laws, and so, when called to
the bar, he shouted "Guilty."
"Have you been arrested for the same
offence twice before this year?" asked the
judge.
"1 have, your Honor," said he.
The judge imposed a sentence of six
months, and the first case under the new
law was entered on the records. There is a
feeling that the new law will not continue
in force more than a year or two.
WHITECAP BRUTALITIES.
An Old Man and a Young Wontan Cruelly
Beaten By Maskers.
A New _Albany, Ind., despatch says:.
There was another brutal whipping by
Whitecaps in Crawford county Sunday-, in
which a woman of 18 years was one of the
victims. William McGuire and his 18 -year-
old step -daughter live near Leavenworth,
the county seat of Crawford county. They
were suspected of living in adultery, but
there was no proof of this charge. On
Sunday morning 29, masked Whitecaps, all
armed with revolvers, went to the McGuire
residence, broke down the doors, and seiz-
ing McGuire, who is about 50 years old, and
the step -daughter, they dragged them to
the woods and tied them face foremost to
the trees. Then the Whitecaps commenced
their cruel work of switching them on the
bare backs. The young woman shrieked
for mercy at every blow until she sank
fainting from the pain. She received over 50
lashes, and her shoulders, back, and hips
are frightfully lacerated. McGuire was
given about 75 lashes, he also fainting under
the savage punishment. After the whipping
the Whitecaps notified their victims that if
they were found in the county 20 days later
they would be hung up by the necks and left
for buzzards to pick. This infamous whip-
ping of a helpless, defenceless girl has
created the most intense excitement.
A BIG "TREE."

Boers Invade Mashonaland and Set 11» the
Republican Standard.
A Cape Town cable says: A body of
armed Boers, composed of about 100 men
and their families, crossed the Limpopo
yesterday, thus raiding Mashonaland and
taking the first steps towards the founding
of the Republic of the North. These men
were the pioneers of the "Big Trek," which
has long been talked of, and to prevent
which President Kruger promised to use his
utmost endeavors when he was informed
that the British Government would consider
such an invasion as an act of hostility
against the Queen. The pioneers of the
"Big Trek" seem, however'to have met
with. a reception somewhat different from
what they expected. They were no sooner
in Mashonals,nd „than they were met by the
police and treein the employ of the Brit-
ish South Africa Company, who drove the
Boers back and arrested their leaders.
VERONA SHAKEN.
Earthquakes inItaly Damage Houses and
Cause Much Alarm.
A Rome cable says: The inhabitants of a,
large portion of the Province of Verona
were thrown last night into a state of wild
excitement and fear, caused by a series of
severe earthquake shocks. The people were
so startled and alarmed that they rushed
out of their houses in the middle of the
night into the open fields, expecting their
dwellings were upon the point of falling
upon them. Houses were so shaken that
in several cases the walls collapsed and in
others chimneys fell through the roof or
large cracks appeared in the walls. In
spite of the damage there was no loss of
life, but some time elapsed before the ter-
ror-stricken inhabitants would return to
their homes.
Tender Hearted.
Judge Q , who once presided over a
criminal court down East, was famous as
one of the mostcompassionate men who ever
sat, upon the bench. His softness of heart,
however, did not prevent him from doing
his duty as a judge. ,
A Man who had been convicted of stealing
a small amount was brought into court for
sentence. He looked very sasia,nd hopeless,
and the court was nuich moved by his con-
trite appearance.
"Have you ever been sentenced to im-
prisonment ? " the judge asked.
" Never—neverl " exclaimed the prisoner,
bursting into tears.
"Don't cry—don't ery," said Judge Q ---
consolingly.. "You're going to be now

WieltedileSS,
ltev. A. E. Staples Before the Court
at Amherst, N. S., Under the CharltOn
Act.
An Amherst, N. S., despatch says: The
seneational trial of Rev. A. 13. Staples ended
to -day in acquittal of the peisorter. This
was the most exciting ease ever
tried in this fiection of the pro-
vince, For two years Staples was
the element and popular aseietent pastor
of the Baptist Church, the most important
in town. Last summer he became engaged
te Miss Trerric, the beautiful and accom-
plished daughter of one of his wealthy
parishioners. He gave his age a,s 23, and
she was under 21. -Under the promise of
marriage and by quotations from Scripture,
he succeeded in accomplishing) her ruin.
Finally matters came to a crisis and ex-
posure became inevitable unless he married
the girl. This he promised to do, and
procured a license, but when the parties
assembled for the ceremony he refused to
be married that night on the ground that
hie relations with another woman were such
that it was necessary to be released from an
engagement to her, but he peomised to
marry his victim next morning. The second
woman was the buxom widow of the sti-
pendiary magistrate and a prominent poll-
tician. The charmer had the reputation of
not being unacquainted with the ways of the
world. That night the preacher and the
widow skipped the town end were married.
Then Miss Trerric's friends instituted pro-
ceedings against Staples under the Charlton
Act for criminal seduction. Under this law
seduction of a girl under 21, under promise
of marriage, is a penitentiary offence andthe
first trial under this law in this Province is
that of a minister. The deepest interest was
manifested in the result. Staples was
arrested in his father's house, where he was
found secreted between the floor and ceiling.
The court house wee crowded day after day
by the excited people. The prosecution
failed to prove that he was over 21. In dis-
missing him the judge addressed the
prisoner, and told him he was escaping the
penitentiary only by accident, but he could
not escape the remorse he would feel nor
the retribution that would surely dog his
steps.
AWAITING THE DEATH SHOCK: itrs'
A. Quartette of New York Murderers Facing
Iang-Deferred Death,
A Sing Sing despatch says: The four
murderers, Smiler, Slocum, Wood (colored),
and Jugiro, who are under sentence to die
by electric shock next week, and who have
not, like their two fellow -condemned, Me
Elvaine and Trezia,, succeeded in obtaining
further delay, are awaiting death with ap-
parent calmness.
Slocum, the wife murderer, says that his
lawyer has only two days more in which to
"get in his work," as he expresses it.
Slocum adds: "1 guess it's all up this
time, and I'm glad of it. I don't want any
more fooling. I'd rather have it over."
Jugiro, who is said by a New York news-
paper to have gone insane, is apparently
.merely low-spirited and dazed by the ap-
proach of his terrible end. The prison
officials say that there is no ground for a de-
ferment of execution in his case on account
of his mental condition.
Wood, who killed an Italian fellow -
laborer on the New York aqueduct, is, as
usual, very;quiet. He ree.ds, smokes and
sits thinking, but ritrelYlays a word. .1
Smiler, the Salvation Army officer, who
killed one of his three wives ecause she left
him on account of ill-treatment, talks con-
tinually, protesting his innocence and com-
plaining in a whining way of his fate.
All is quiet at the prison to -day. Warden
Brown is consulting with State officials at
Albany about details. When he returns the
machinery will be tested by scientists.
Nothing can be learned as to whom invite.
tions to witness the exeeution have been
issued to.

deuce in an Assault Case.
A Detroit despatch says : Superintendent
McClaughry received a telegram from the
chief of police at Detroit on Wednesday ask-
ing if Martha Simmons, 18 years old, was
wanted here as a witness. Enquiry at the
police stations showed that the girl is com-
plainant in an assaultcase against Thomas
M. Kerr, a boot and shoe dealer. The case
was called yesterday morning in Justice
Lyon's court. Kerr was arrested last week,
and when he was arraigned for a hearing
Saturday morning he asked for a continu-
ance until yesterday. Miss Simmons did
not return to her home atBlue Island avenue
and Robey street, and on Sunday the police
were notified of her disappearance. Nothing
was heard of her until Wednesday. A letter
received by the Chicago police gives the de-
tails of the girl's strange disappearance. She
says that upon leaving the Armory station
last Saturday morning a man seized her and
thrust her into a cab. Her ceies for help
were stifled by the /11811, who Stuffed a hand-
kerchief in her mouth. She was drugged
and placed on a train, and knew nothing
until she found herself in as Detroit hotel.
Her captor kept her a prisonerulatil Tuesday
when she escaped and found her way to

stores.
A CHOICE OF STORIES.
Balmaceda on Top by One Account and
Defeated by Another.
A despatch to the New York Herald from
Coquimbo, Chili, dated June 28, says : The
new President of the Government party has
been elected. The provinces in South Chili,
all under Balrnaceda's control, voted Satur-
day. Balmaceda's candidate, Vicuna, was
chosen as his successor. This is only the
general report of the vote. The final result
will not be made public till July 25. Be-
tween now and then Balmaceda will remain
in office and will hesitate at nothing to
stamp out the revolution. Be is in the fight
to the bitter end. There will be no com-
promise ; either he must fall or the insur-
gents will have to make an tinconditional
surrender. All the insurgent fleet, except
the Esmeralda, are in rendezvousat Caldera,,
200 miles to the north, the port where the
Blanco Encalada was sunk. Their purpose
is, without doubt, to attack Coquimbo at
once.
Mr. Moritt, the Congressional envoy here,
to -day received a despatch from the Min-
ister of Foreign Affaire at Iquique, stating
that the Congressional army has occupied
Huasce and that the army of Balmacecia

STOPPED THE TBAIN
TO Save a Girl's life and By So Doing
Averted a Terrible Disaster.
A Le Junta, Col,, despatch says :
gngineer Roberts, of the Santa Fe, received
a Shock, on his last trip which almost turned
his hair grey. As his train approached a
long trestle about fifty miles east of La
Junta he saw a girl walking on thei bridge.
The train was going at full speed, and it
was impossible to stop until the bridge had
been crossed. As the train dashed forward
the girl looked back and with a shriek dis-
appeared. The train was brought to a
standstill, while the engineer and conductor
hurried back under the trestle to
pick up the body. A diligent
search failed to thew a trace of
her, and they were about to return when
they heard a voice above them, and there,
hanging to the trestle, they saw the girl.
She had dropped through the floor of the
trestle and had hung to the ties while the
train passed over. The party made their
way to the spot and rescued the girl from
her perilous position. When the engineer
got on his engine ready to pull out he
noticed a dark object on the track ahead
and started te investigate. After crossing
the trestle the road ran into a small cut,
and here there hacl been a landslide so com-
pletely covering the track that, had it not
been for the stopping of the train by the
girl's misadventure on the bridge, there
would have been a fearful wreck.
VICTDIS OF VESUVIUS.
--
A Brazilian Falls Into the Crater—Another
Has a Narrow Escape.
A Rome cable says: Despatches from
Naples give meagre details of a terrible ac-
cident which occurred yesterdry on Mount
Vesuvius by which a Brazilian traveller lost
his life and another Brazilian was rescued
with difficulty. Mount Vesuvius has for
some months been showing signs of activity
at intervals, but within the last week or so
it has been somewhat quieter. Yesterday
renewed signs of activity were noticed, and
travellers were warned that it would be
dangerous to ascend the crater. In spite of
this warning two Brazilian travellers, ac-
companied by a guide, determined to make
the ascent. They did so, and reached the
top of the mountain in safety. There they
were noticed to be standing near the crater
gazing into it Suddenly the whole party
was enveloped bya dense cloudof sulphurous
smoke which so stupified the travellers that
one oethem reeled about for a moment, then
staggered forward, and fell headforemost
into the crater. The guide who accom-
panied the two Brazilians had in the mean-
tiane caught hold of the second traveller,
and half dragged, half pushed him into a
position where the fumes could not affect
thus saving his life. The names of the
Brazilians are unknown.
ONE JUROR SLEPT,
And in Consequence the Court Set Aside the
Verdict.
A Indianapolis despatch says: Some time
ago A. J. Kestlin secured a judgment
against the National Accident Insurance
Company for $3,000. Application was made
for a new trial on the novel plea that Juror
Norwood, an old and very feeble man, was
asleep during the greater part of the trial,
and did not, therefore, hear all the evidence.
Norwood admitted that he slept a part of
the time, and the court set the verdiot
aside, granting the defendant a new trial.

an extension of the marriage tax to all
Catholic States. This decree specially
affects Spain and Portugal, which have
hitherto been exempt from this tax.
LOVE THROUGH THE TELEPHONE.
One of Albany's 400 Captivated by the Voice
of a Telephone Girl.
A wedding to -day in a cosy home on
Madison avenue'says an Albany dispatch,
was the sequel to a story of love over the
telephone wire. It was the marriage of
Rufus King Townsend, whose family and
friends are of Albany's social 400, and Miss
Ida Jerone Willey, who up to a short time
ago worked in the central office of the Hud-
son River Telephone Company. MissWilley
is a pretty and modest maiden, with a voice
which in the summer novel would be termed
silvery, and when young Townsend heard it
a few times through the receiver of his
telephone he became captivated. He
requested her one day to meet him, where-
upon she demurely replied that she would if
he should be so fortunate as to obtain an
introduction. Young Townsend's ardor was
thereby heightened, and he set about obtain-
ing in introduction. He secured it and was
as well pleased with the personality of the
pretty telephone girl as with her voice. In
the usual way:acquaintance ripened into love
and resulted in the marriage of to -day.
THE FASHIONABLE TRUNK.
It is of Rattan, and so light That a Child
Can lift It.
The fashionable trunk to -day is the rattan
basket, safely tufted inside, lined with
linen, and furnished with but one trap. It
has a stout cover of waterpoof canvas bound
with sole leather, with as little metal as
possible used in the make-up. It is so light,
that a child can lift it when it is unpacked.
There is nothing more durable than rattan,
as the Oriental nations found out long, ago.
A pod trunk of rattan or wicker, covered
svith, waterproof, will cost from $13 to $25.

tumor. The patient died at the house of
his father-in-law, LordBlentyre, inBerkeley
square. His condition was not considered
unfavorable on Friday, but he had a relapse
during the night. His mother, Henry and
Herbert Gladstone'and Miss Gladstone were
with him when Ice died. His father was at
Lowestoft, a guest of Mr. Coleman, the
mustard manufacturer. The news of his
son's death was communicated to hini early
yesterday morning. He received it quietly,
and at once took the train for London. He
looked very worn upon his arrival, and it is
feared the benefit of the rest he had re-
ceived will be wholly destroyed by the sad
event. The dead man has been ill for years,
his,last severe ilbiess resulting ;from para-
lysis: His physi.cianen Thursday removed
altumor which hadi been pressing upon his
brain. The patient, however, sank rapidly
after the tumor had been removed. He
was born in 1840, educated at Eton, entered
Parliament in 1865 for Chester • from 1869
to 1874 he was Lord of the Treasury ; in
1875 he married a daughter of the twelfth
Baron Blantyre.
Many persons called on Mr. Gladstone to-
day to condole with him upon the death of
his eldest son. Mr. Gladstone has received
telegrams of condolence from the Queen and
the Prince of Wales. Mr. Gladstone man-
ages to retain his health in spite of the se-
vere shock caused by the news of his son's
death.

of passengers, including Prince George of
Greece.
Capt. Bauer, of the Eider, says the Servia
signalled 22 times, stating that she was
completely disabled. The Chester was eight
miles off the Servia, when she signalled and
asked for tugs. The. Chester is now on her
way here at the rate of fiyekaots an hour.
The crank pin that broke is 22 inches in
diameter, and it may take a month for the
Servia to get refitted with a new one as it
may be necessary to send back to England
for one. Tugs have been sent to the assist-
ance , of the Servia, and she will probably
arrive to -morrow afternan.

of Wales and saluting him with a kiss, the:
latter part of the ceremony being omitted
in the case of the Dulse of Edinburgh, but.
included again in the welcome of the Duke,
of Connaught. The Empress received the

then served in the saloon, while the band
played Prussian airs.
The train started half an hour late. Wind-

Scots Guards were drawn up at the station to
give the Emperor end Empress a military
welcome. The Princess of Wales and the,
other princesses were also ist the station and.

town again. I am very pleased to find my-
self here."

started' in about a dozen carriages, the Prince

was made at the Guildhall, where the,
Mayor presented the Kaiser with the

made a few commonplace remarks suitable
to the occasion, his reference to "My
grandmother, who has been very kind to us,
both before and since we ascended the
throne," eliciting much applause.
The route was -thronged with people, who
showed considerable enthusiasm. On the
arrival of the Imperial guests at Windsor
they were met by the Queen at the State

both the Kaiser and Kaiseriu.

attaches of the German embassy and the
English equerries attendant upon the Em-

of the royal party were preceded by -
mounted police and, outrridors. ,Qaarriving
at the barracks square the Emperor found
the Life Guards drawn up in line with the k
Scots Guards in the rear. He shook hands
with the commanding officers and then in-
spected the troops, passing upand down
the lines and minutely scrutinizing the
equipments of the soldiers.
This business over the troops escorted the
royalties to Trinity Church. The Emperor.

tral aisle, the other royalties and a number
of members of the Emperor's and Queen's,
households filling the pesvs in the rear, anal

liant spectacle of diversified yet harmonious;
colors, with the white -robed choir in front
of the altar, and. the rows of glittering
uniforms in the centre, with the sombre
background. of civilian attire. The Guards"
bands played Mendelssohn's march while
the royalties were entering. The succeeding
hymns were sung to the bands' a.ccompame
ment. After the singing of " Onward
Christian Soldiers," the sermonwas delivered
by the Queen's Chaplain, Rev. .A. Robins;
who referred to the self-denying lives of
Christians, mentioning Gen. Grant,. Count
