It was a great day for [the firemen.
The Central club’s opening was a
great success.

peated at an early day.

appear to be at odds.

night promises to be the event of the
year.
The fire laddies were up and about
early this morning ready for the day’s
exercises. .

A Brilliant Wédding‘.
MEMPHIS, April 20.———Last evening at
9 o’clock in the presence of one of the
most brilliant assemblakes that ever
gathered in an aristocratic southern
home Mr. James T. Harahan and Miss
Mary Mallory were united in marriage,
the Rev. Dr. Patterson, rector of Grace
church, Officiating. Distinguished rail-
road officials and a number of promi-
nent business men from Chicago, Louis-
ville, New Orleans and other cities were
present. At no other wedding in Mem-
phis have the presents been so numer~
ous and costly. After the ceremony the
bride and bridegroom left on a. special
train for Mexico, where's. honeymoon of
six or eight weeks will be spent. The
bride is the daughter of Captain W. B.
Mallory and for many years she has
been a leader in the best circles of Mem-
phis and has also had a brilliant social
career in New Orleans and other south-
ern cities. Mr. Harahan is one of the
in the
country.
Manet Investigation to Continue.
ALBANY, April 20.———Notwithstand-q
ing the fact that many up state Re-
publicans are Opposed to the continu-
ance of the Mazet investigation com-
mittee, it is apparently the intention
of the party managers that the investi—
gation shall go on beyond this session
of the legislature. The committee on
next Monday night will make a prelim-
inary report to the assembly and will
offer a resolution empowering it to con-
tinue its sessions after the final ad-
journment on April 28 and to make a.
report to the next legislature. The best
information obtainable here is that the
report of the committee will be accept-
ed, and the resolution' prolonging its
life will be adopted. '
Preparing to Report.
'WASHINGTON, April 20.—The beef
court of inquiry is engaged steadily in
going through the testimony which has
accumulated as the result of the three
months’ investigation and in the prep—
aration of the report of its findings.
The report will be comparatively rief,
but the work of collating the essential
facts is a task of no small magnitude
and 'will require several days’ time.
There is a. unanimous determination on
the part of the members of the court to
dispose of the subject with the greatest
possible dispatch, and the statement
was made yesterday that it was' possi-
ble a finding might be reached before
the close of the week.
Euler’s Plucky Garrison.
BARCELONA, April 20.———El Dial-lo,
eulogizing the Spanish garrison, con-

doctor and 48 men, ‘who have been de-
fending Baler against the Filipinos,

fied quarters, and Captain Olmedo was
compelled to return to Manila without

Joil‘orson Dinner No. 3. \
NEXT YORK, April 20.-—The dollar
dinner given by the workingmen of
New York “in honor of the memory 1
Thomas Jefferson and as an expression
of devotionto the principles ”underly—
ing good government,” as ,it objects
were stated in the invitations, took
place last night in the Grand Central
Palace. In point of numbers and en—
thusiasm it was not nearly as success-
ful as was the dollar dinner of the Chi-
cago platform Democrats. The menu
was about the same, and the speeches,
which were entirely nonpartisan in
character, were fully as good; though
they .did not arouse as much enthusi—
asm as did those made in the same hall
last Saturday. John Brisben Walker
presided.
Florida Elects a Senator.
TALLAHASSEE, April 20.——James P.

National bank of Tampa and vice pres-
ident of the leading wholesale grocery

Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that to, by a lady in this coun-
try. ' "Disease fastened its clutches up-
on her and for seven years she withs
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. ,For three month-
she coughed incessantly, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle
of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was so much relieved on
taking the first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz.” Thus writes W. C.
