NEW YORK, Aug. -4.—Cornelius Van-
derbilt, Jr., and - Miss Grace Wilson,
daughter of Richard T. Wilson, were
quietly married at 11:30 o’clock today at
the Wilson residence, 511 .Fifth avenue.
So far as is known, none of the Vanderbilt
family except the bridegroom was present
at the wedding. .
The greatest secrecy was observed. None
of the servants was allowed to say any-
thing about the,afi‘air, and they were not
even supposed to know theta wedding
was taking place in the house. Prior to
h the wedding a few carriages drove up to
the house. They were occupied by mem-
bers of the Wilson family only.
The first indication that the much
iniked of and delayed event was to take
place today was the arrival at the Wilson
residence this morning of Alexander Mo- .
CORNELIUS VANDERBILT, JR.
Connell and a corps of florists, who at
once began the Work of decorating the
drawing room in the front of the house.
The decorations were entirely of cut
flowers—American Beauty roses, lilies of
the valley,gladioluses,hydrangeas and smi-
lax. There were no palms. The florists
brought with them eight boutonnieres
only for the'men who were to be present.
One of the first carriages that arrived
after that contained Mrs. Marshall Orme
Wilson and her two small sons. The chil-
dren were dressed in white duck sailor
suits. Their mother were a modest gown
of brown materi A.
Soon after the arrival of Mrs. Wilson
young Cornelius Vanderbilt drove up.
He wore a black frock coat, light striped
trousers and a silk hat and had lilies of
the valley in his buttonhole.
Soon after the Wedding took place the
second butler and the maid left the house
in a cab and drove away.
Mrs. Vanderbilt wore a simple cos-
tume, a pale blue gown with black dots,
trimmed with white lace, and a straw hat
_ trimmed with light pink.
Mr. Vanderbilt wore a brown mixed
suit and a light straw hat with a black
band.
As the bride and bridegroom passed
through the vestibule of the house a little
rice was thrown over them from inside—
oniy a' little. Then they got into the car-
riage, and it was driven away.
When the carriage left the Wilson home,
it went down Fifth avenue to Thirty-ninth
street, crossed to Park avenue, down to
Thirty-fourth street and over to Lexing-
ton avenue. It continued up Lexington
avenue to the Grand Central depot, where
the pair took the 1 o’clock train for Sara-
toga.
The Bride and Groom.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.. is the oldest
living son of Cornelius Vanderbilt and a
mtgnndson of the celebrated Commo—
Vanderbilt, who laid the foundation
of the family’s great fortune. The young
man is 28 years of age, and was graduated
last year at Yale. He was the first mem-
ber of 'his family to attain a university
degree. . .
After his graduation he went abroad
and spent a part' of the winter traveling
in company with Mr. and Mrs. Ogden
Goelet, with whom was also Miss Grace
Wilson. It was while he was on this tour
that the attachment sprang up which has
culminated in the marriage. Mr. Vander-
bilt on his return to New York took a su-
bordinate place in the offices of the New
York Central railroad, it being his father’s
' desire that he should learn the details of
railroad management.
Miss Grace Wilson is not a member of
an old New York family. Both her father
and mother are southerners who settled in
New York after the close of the civil war.
Richard T. Wilson is a self made man.

xrss cases. WILSON.
fly or means, he has forged his way to the
front rank .in the financial world, so that
today he is supposed to be the possessor of
810,000,000. He was born in Habershaw
county, Ga, in 1881, and got his educa-
tion in the common schools. He went to
London, Tenn, at an early age and be-
came clerk in a store. He grew into a
clever, shrewd business man, and speedily
became a storekeeper ‘on his own account.
He married a‘Miss Johnson of Macon, Ga.
When the .war broke out, Mr. Wilson
Jined the Confederate army, and quickly
rose to the rank of commissary general.
. He also secured a post as agent to sell the
cotton crop abroad. a duty which took him
to England. At the close of the war his
fortune amounted to about $500,000, and
' with this became to this city and arm

Mr. and Mrs. Wilson have five children,
three of whom have done wellin the mar-
riage market, looking at it from a world!y
point of view. Miss May Wilson married
Ogden Goeiet, a member of eneof New
~Y0rk’s. oldest families—a family which is
second only to the Astors in the value of
its real estate holdings. Marshall Orme
Wilson married Miss Caroline Astor, a
sister of John Jacdh Astor, whose fortune
, is estimated to be $10,000,000. Miss Belle
' Wilson married the Hon. Michael Herbert
of‘England, a man of social position, but
not of great wealth. He is a son of Lord
Herbert of Lea and brother of the Earl of
Pembroke. .
A Series of Obstacles.
Theannouncement of the engagement
of Mr. Vanderbilt to Miss Wilson did not
some as a surprise. Hardly was it made,
however, when invitations were issued fill-
the wedding on June 18 at Mr. Wilson’s
house, 511 Fifth avenue. Every prepara-
tion was made for the marriage by the
Wilson family. It was to have been but a
small affair, attended only by a few friends
and relatives.
During the week previous to the date
set for the wedding there was much talk
about the opposition of Mr. and Mrs. Cor-
nelius Vanderbilt to the marriage. It was
even said that they would not attend the
ceremony at all and were using every
means in their power to have the match
broken 03. At one time it was even ru-
mored that Mr. Vanderbilt had threat-
ened to dislnherit his son. The wedding,
however, did not occur at that time. for
the prospective bridegroom was suddenly
taken ill with inflammatory rheumatism.
0n the day before the date set for the mar-
riage the invitations were recalled.
Young Mr. Vanderbilt was confined to
his bed for a long time, and his father was
in constant attendance upon him. The
wedding was indefinitely postponed, and
the Wilson family closed their house and
went to the country. The young man
slowly recovered, however, and arrange-
ments were making for the removal of the
entire Vanderbilt family from their town
house, where they .staid until July, to
Newport, when Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt,
the father, was taken very ill.
Mr. Vanderbilt recovered rapidly and
was removed to his Newport home, The
Breakers, in the: last week of July. By
this time his son had entirely recovered
from his illness.
SIR WILLIAM GROVE DEAD.
He Was a Famous Scientist and Member
of England’s Privy Council.
LONDON, Aug. 4.—-The Right Hon. Sir
William Robert Grove, D. C. L., LL. D.,
R. C., F. R. 8., died here.
William Robert Grove was born at
Swansea, Wales, on July 11, 1811. When
a young man he ' turned his attention to
the study of electricity and succeeded in
1839 in ’contriving the powerful voltaic
battery which bears his name and the gas
battery. He was professor of experimental
philosophy at the London institution from
1840 to 1847, and he took an active part,
as member of the council, in the business
of the Royal society, particularly in the
reform of its constitution.
Mr. Grove, who became a Q. C. in 1858,
was a member of the metropolitan com-
mission of sewers and one of the royal com-
missioners on patent 'law and on Oxford
university. He was president of the Brit-
ish association at Nottingham in 1866.
The honor of knighthood was bestowed
upon him (Feb. 21, 1872) a few months
after his elevation to .the judicial bench
(November, 1871) as a justice of the com-
mon pleas. That ofi‘lee he held until -No—
vember, 1875, when, through the opera-
tion of the indicators act, he became a
judge of the high court of justice. He re-
tired in 1887 and was made a member of
the privy council. Sir William made sev-
eral important discoveries in electricity
and optics, and he was the author of a re-
markable lecture, delivered in January,
1842, and printed by the managers on
“The Progress of Physical Science Since
the Opening of the London Institution. ”
In this lecture he first advanced the doc-
trine of the mutual convertibility of the
various natural forces, heat, electricity,
etc., and of their being all modes of mo-
tion or forms of persistent force. This dcc-
trine is further’developed in his famous
essay on “The Correlation of Physical
Forces, ” on which he gave a course of lec-
tures in 1843 and which reached a sixth
edition. In 1847 he received the medal of
the Royal society for his Bakerian lecture
on “Volltaic Ignition” and on “The De-
composition of Water Into Its Constituent
Gases by Heat.” Sir William contributed
many papers to the “Transactions of the
Royal Society” and The Philosophical
Magazine. He was a fellow of the Royal
society and a member of the academies of
Rome and Torin, knight of the Order of
the Rose, etc. '

feld Opposed to Violence.
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-—Judging from the
rioting today following upon that which
occurred yesterday, the striking east side
tailors are on the verge of a complete
abandonment of the peaceful agitation
which has hitherto marked their strikes.
At an early hour today two strikers, Phil-
ip Louis, 125 Clinton street, and Abraham
Fishmann, 271 DeLancey street, gathered
together a mob of about 300 tailors and
proceeded to the shop of a contractor, Isaac
Kaufmann, at 18 Suffolk street, one of
those who yesterday began work with non-
union men. Kaufmann’s daughter Re-
becca was Standing outside the shop door
as the mob advanced and demanded what
they wanted. They quickly hustled her
aside and kicked in the door, which was
locked in anticipation of a possible raid.
While they were kicking at it a min in
the shop ran out by a back way-and in-
formed Policeman Meyers, whom he found
near by, what was happening. Meyers re-
enforced himself with two other police—
men, and the three hurried to the shop.
On arriving there they found the street
and stairway and the shop choked up with
rioters, who were shouting ‘Scab !" curses
and threats, but bad refrained from doing
any actual damage. The charge of the
policemen with brandished clubs scattered
the mob, but they succeeded in arresting
the two ringleaders. ‘
'These were arraigned in Essex Market
court before Justice Flammer. but the in-
timidated contractor,4Kaufmann, refused
to press the charge of disorderly conduct,
and the magistrate had no resource except
to discharge them. When the discharged
men went outside, they were greeted with
triumphant yells of welcome from a crowd
that filled the whole street.
A special delegation of tailors was com-
missioned by Meyer Schoenfeld to make a
tour of all the shops and caution the
pickets stationed there against conflicting
with the law. Schoenfeld threatens that
if they persist in quarreling the Brother-
hood of Tailors will not use its legal ad-
viser, Thomas J. Bradley, to defend them
in court in case they are arrested. “We
are now winning,” said Schoenfeid. “and
we do not want to play into the hands of
the law, as that is just what the contract-
ors want. I have cullra'l a special mass
meeting in order pubicly to advise the
tailors to preserve order. If they disobey,
let them bear the consequences.”
Contractors Accuse Shoenfeld.
The contractors, On the other hand, ac-
cuse Shcenfeld of having employed men at
85 a day to force war on their men and
cause disturbance. Schoenfeld brands the
assertion cs absurdly false. “It is foolish
to think 'fzat we have money to throw
away for any such useless and harmful
purpose,
tailors.
' Speaking of the situation today the
strike manager, Schoen'feld, said: “A
great number. as many as 50, have filed
settlement applications since 8 o'clock this
morning. Many contractors at the close
of their meeting on Saturday evening re-
paired to the headquarters of the settle-
ment committee in the Elephant club-
room, Ludlow and Grand streets, where
they gave the necessary bonds and were
thus enabled to open their shops teday.
The action of the contractors in throwing
their shops open to nonunion men yester-
day morning has made the situation de-
cidedly worse for themselves. It resulted
in the closing of a number of shops this
morning whose proprietors . would not
otherwise have been compelled ‘to shut
down their shops."
Act 10 o’clock today 100 contractors, em-
ploying 3,000 operators. had given the re-
quired guarantee to keep their peace with
the Brotherhood of Tailors for the current
year. The tailors were in waiting at Lud-
low and Grand streets for the order to re-
turn to work. This was given as soon as
the bosses had qualified before Notary
Schulum in the stipulated guarantee, and
the men forthwith flocked back to work.
The first contractor to sign today was
Joseph Lebrowsby of 173 East Broadway.
employing 10” men. He is a prominent
member of the Contractors‘ association
and took an active part in saturday’s
meeting, at which it was resolved to fight
the tailors, if needs be, until the dawn of
the Hebrew new year, which falls in Sep-
tember. President Driesen of the Con-
tractors’ associntion said, when seen to-
day, that a meeting had been called at
which action will be taken in regard to
the action of the warring tailors. Mr. Drie-
sen charges that the tailors are now
growing desperate and hints that war-
rants for their arrest will be applied for.
