Boston, Jan, 3.—The marriage of Miss Ger- trude Barrett, second daughter of Lawrance Barrett, and Joseph Anderson, brother of Miss Mary Anderson, took place this morning at the cathedral. At 10:30 that portton of the great edifice which had been set apart from the remainder by a hedge of cedar bows was filled by an assemblage which included many of the notables of Boston society. The space be- hind the altar rail was completely filled with beautiful tropical plants and Sempre and all around the walls of the hedge were flowers and vines. Previous to the arrival of the bridal party the organist of the cathedral performed ‘several selections, ‘ially pre- cs for thé occasion. At 11:30 o'clock the vidal entered a Caper cere- mony, the nuptial mass being omitted, was per- formed by Archbishop John J. Williams, as- sisted by Rey. Father Leobol and_Rev. Talbot, D.

Mrs. Lawrence Barrett and Miss Griffin each wore elegant costume of navy blue silk, Miss Nellie Barrett wore white crepe de chine, and carried a bouquet of white roses, Gov. Ames’ Annual Message. HE ADVISES AN EARLY SUBMISSION TO THE PEO- PLE OF A PROHIBITION AMENDMENT. Boston, Mass., Jan. 3-—Gov. Ames sent in his annual message to the legislature to-day. He advises the early submission to the people of a prohibition amendment and advocates the increase of the penalties for the violation of the liquor laws. ie thinks it would be wise to substitute imprisonment for fines in such cases. The state has expended over $7,000,000 during the past year for the education of 360,000 per- sons. In regard to the state prisons he sa} “The industries at the state prison, where business is transacted on the ‘public account’ system, are in a very satisfactory condition. Under this system the discipline of the prison is much better maintained than it was under that of contracts, and the financial results will prove much more satisfactory.” In regard to arbitration, the governor says: “The work of the state board of arbitration has been continued with increasing benefit to employers and employes who have come within the scope of its action. Happily no extensive disturbance has occurred in the state, but the efficiency of the board has frequently been de- monstrated, especially in settlements without formal hearing and adjudication.” poets, aay The Donegal Evictions.

Prospects for Their Admission at this Session of Congress Discussed. The House to-day started very cheerfully on the road to doing nothing. An attempt to adopt a resolution for the purpose of limiting the chances for filibustering on suspension days was met by a most determined filibuster, and matters were put at a standstill, There is much discussion of the prospects of legislation in favor of new states. It is far from certain that the majority will not yet split on the question. The policy pressed by Mr. Springer is for the admission of as many territories as possible, and, doubtless, the friends of the omnibus bill will resist the admission of Dakota if New Mexico is not ad- mitted also. The chances of New Mexico being admitted do not a great, and an agreement is doubtful. Enough democrats, however, have made up their minds that South Dakota, Montana, and Washington territory should be admitted to assist the republicans in the admission of all or any one of them. MR. COX IS THE CHAMPION in the democratic party of the territories, regardiess of politics, and will do all he can in the interest of each of them independently of the rest. He is receiving letters constantly from the people in the the territories, plscing their cause in his hands, and praying him to see that none of them suffer from partisanship in the House. IF THE OMNIBUS BILL PASSES the House, is amended in the Senate, and gets into conference, Mr. Cox feels sure that some of the territories will be admitted whether all are or not. If a disagreement is reported from the conference he will move for a new conference and do everything he can until something comes of it. MR. SPRINGER INSISTS that the four territories should be admitted by the one act, and he will probably fight deter- mindly to keep New Mexico in the bill. ite Joseph, of New Mexico, replying. to ism of Senator Platt upon his terri- tory, says that there are fourteen counties in the territory, any one of which is larger than the state of Connecticut. Fifty per cent of the inhabitants, he says, are from the east. and seventy-five per cent of the so-called Mexicans read and speak English. The cattle interests of the territory, he says, are very valuable, A WRECKED RAIN. A B. and O. Express Goes Off the Rails Just Outside the City. There was a smash-up on the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad this morning, which blockaded the railroad until 2:30 this afternoon. The train for Harper's Ferry and the Shenandoah valle, that left the depot at 10:10 o'clock was derailed about | halfa mile beyond the boundary, just opposite the terminus of the Eckington railroad, between what are known as the first and second bridges, Workmen were engaged at this point in fixing the rails and it is presumed left one of the rails in an unsafe condition. The train consisted of baggage. mail, express and three passenger cars. Ail of the cars except one left the track and were thrown from their trucks, They were mashed together across the track. A gang of men were soon busily at work clear- ing away the wreck. They did not succeed in reopening communication until after 2 o'clock. In the meanwhile passengers had to be trans- ferred around the wreck. No one was injured by the accident. The rails, howevea, were badly spread. The wrecked train was well filled with passengers, many of whom were still waiting at the scene of the wreck after 2 o'clock this afternoon. The loco- motive and tender, the express car and rear passenger coach were on the track. The two coaches in the center of the train were thrown across the tracks and off their trucks in such a way as to make it difficult to get the tracks clear, The blockade made an unusual state of things about the depot. Many passengers were waiting in cars or about the station all day long for trains to the west. \ WASHINGTON NEWS AND GossiP | > Cox.

American Interests in Samoa. A PETITION FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Senator Stanford this morning presented four petitions from the San Francisco chamber of commerce asking, respectively, appropriations for the hydrographic office at San Francisco, for a relief station in the Arctic ocean, for the protection of American interests in Samoa, and for the protection by tariff duties of the native beet-sugar culture. In its memorial on the Samoan matters the chamber of commerce “re- spectfully and urgently calls the attention of gress to the aggressive action of the German goverment at the Samoan islands.” This aggressive action is held to be destructive to American interests, cruel and unjust to the native inhabitants, and hostile to the United States. The policy of joint neutrality agreed a has, says the memorial, been (sag, hee ited, and an aggressive intervention e native government, with the evident purpose of German control and subsequent subjugation, has se it.

O’FERRALL INDIGNANT. THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, 1889. HARRISON’S INAUGURATION. A Man Pardoned December 21 is Still| The Committee Hari at Work Pre- Confined in Jail. Representatiy. O’Ferrall, of Virginia, has Prepared a resolution, which he expects to offer in the House, asking the reason for de- lays of the State department in issuing the warrants in cases of pardoned offenders against the law. Mr. O’Ferrall is indignant over the delay occasioned by clerical indifference in the Stcte department, in the issuance of a warrant for the release of oneof his constitu- ents,who was pardoned by the President on the 21st of December, but is still in jail. David H. Martin, of Patrick county, Va., is confined in jail for a a trivial violation of internal reveune law. The prisoner is a cripple and in bad health. Moreover his family are suffering during his confinement. Mr. O’Ferrall went to the President on December 21 and said that he was not going home for his Christmas dinner until he got that pardon for Martin. He wanted that as a Christmas present for his fam- ily. The President, when the case was laid be- fore him, granted the pardon without an hour's delay. The attorney then at once made a re- quisition upon the Secretary of State for a war- rant for Martin’srelease. This was all done on the same day. ‘On the next day,” Mr. O’Fer- rall says, “I went home to spend the Christmas recess, feeling certain that Martin would be re- leased at once, but much to my suprise I learned, on yesterday, that the warrant had not been issued, and that the man was still in jail. I consider this delay a shame and an out- rage, and I denounce the party responsible for it as unworthy of any position of public trust. The President acted with promptness, the At- torney-General did not delay for a minute, and et the Department of State has held and still olds back the necessary warrant for the release of aman pardoned two weeks ago. It seems that in the estimation of the State department officials a citizen’s liberty is a very small matter, and thata man’s health or even life is not worth considering. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. CONSIDERING LIQUOR CASES. The District Commissioners gave consider- able of their session this afternoon to consider- ing the questions relating to liquor licenses raised in the Solari and Johnson cases. In the first named case they came to a final decision rejecting the application made by the Senior Solari. Mr, Mills Dean, as attorney for Mr. Solari, requested to have the case referred to the attorney for the District to have that officer decide upon the genuineness of the transfer of the property from Solari, jr.. to Solari, sr. The Commissioners thought, how- ever, they did not need the advice of their hysician on this point, and decided to notify te Dean that they would not reopen the case. In the Johnson case they considered an opinion given by Mr. Davis, the assistant at- torney, but as it did not cover all the points upon which, the Commissioners desire light, they returned the case to the attorney's office, with all the papers, including the license granted last year, APPOINTMENTS IN THE ASSESSOR'S OFFICE. Mr. Wm. J. Donohoe has been appointed a temporary clerk in the assessor's office to ar- range the tax-books for the general assess- ment of 1889. B. D.

Chairman Britton says that there is nothing new in relation to the inaugural arrangements. His time is very fully occupied each day, how- ever, with callers who wanttoask him all sortsof questions—some important, and others not at allso, His letter-bag reveals an astonishing amount of misinformation in regard to the functions of the committee. The man who wants the committee to pay his way to Wash- ington and entertain him as their guest still continues to write letters of a more or less al- luring character. So does the man who has a scheme for making the inauguration an unpar- alleled success, He must, however, have an cappahaaeny to personally explain his plans to ie committee, and the promise of expenses paid would insure his immediate presence in this city. Letters of this description, which represent quite a large proportion of the mail matter, are becoming very familiar to Mr. Brit- og oe he doesn’t laugh over them as much as e dil What the chairman would like to have gen- erally known is that the committee is ready to assist those who want to engage quarters for the 4th of March. The committee acts as an agent between those who have rooms for rent and those who want them and no commission is charged. In this way it is thought that imposition will be avoided. The reputation of the city is excellent for its just treatment of visitors on occasions when great crowds are here and the members of the in- augural committee are anxious to maintain this reputation, THE LATEST ADDITION TO THE PICTURE GALLERY in the room of Col. Swords is a large framed lithograph of Gen. Sheridan, Col. Swords’ room adjoins that of Chairman Britton, and the latter's visitors while waiting their turn to reach the ear of the chairman have an oppor- tunity of looking upon the picture of the President and _ Vice-President-elect which adorn the mantel-piece and flank a large Tip- pecanoe cabin, ese works of art were pre- sented to Col. Swords during the campaign and he has had them framed. THE FIREWORKS COMMITTEE will meet this evening. It is expected that a final conclusion will be reached in regard to the award of the contract. There is a very strong rivalry between English and American companies, and the discussion of the subject at the last meeting of the committee developed quite a sentiment in favor of patronizing a home company.

ROOM FOR ALL. The committee on public comfort, of which Col. L. P. Wright is chairman. at a meeting last evening perfected their organization by the election of F. W. Evans, secretary, and W. K. Mendenhall, first vice-president; John F. Cook, second vice-president, and George Francis Dawson, third vice-president. The chairman was authorized to insert a standing advertise- ment in the daily papers requesting house- holders to register any rooms that can be rented and used during the inauguration ceremonies in the books of the committee. It was stated that the committee had secured aud recorded in their book of record accommodations for 27,199 people up to date. These quarters are as follow: Hotels and halls, 24.515; private residences, 2,679. Seventeen military organi- zations have been quartered, the aggregate of men in said organizations, 6,260. Twenty-four civic organizations have been quartered, the aggregate of men in same, 3,845. In addition there have been quartered about 150 private i ties, making an aggregaté of 10.255 who have secured quarters, leaving accommoda- tions yet unassigned for 16,944. EX-CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS INVITED.

FAUST AND OTHERS—A LETTER FROM JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY—FATHER HEALY'S PAPER ON CATHOLIC WORK IN AFRICA, After a blessing by the Rev. Father Tolton the third and last day's meeting of the colored Catholic congress took up the unfinished busi- | ness of yesterday and proceeded to business in the basement of St. Augustine's church. The attendance was large. On the platform were Fathers Mackin, Walsh, Tolton, O'Brien, Sulli- van, Matthews, Healey, McDermott and others, Archbishop Elder, of Cincinnati, who was in an ante-room, came upon the platform and wasre- ceived with great applause, He was introduced by Chairman Rudd in a pleasant speech, who referred to the great good Bishop Elder had done among the colored race when the pesti- lences of small-pox and yeliow fever were de- yastating the south. How he went like a min- istering angel among the and suffering and gave them his tae ARCHBISHOP ELDER THEN ADDRESSED THE CON- VENTION. He said he had come from Cincinnati espe- cially to be present at this congress, to meet the delegates, and to assist them if possible. He did not think, however, that they needed his assistance, as they knew’ well enough what to do and how to do it. In regard to what he had done for the colored race in the south dur- ing the pestilence he said it was the most agree- able of the ministering he had ever been en- gaged in. Referring to his connection with the colored people in Cincinnati after the war, he said the disposition of the colored people to listen to him was great; all seemed to be glad. he said, to hear his teachings, and he did not find a single one urfwilling to give ear to the word of In conclusion he said: “God will surely give great graces to those who labor for you, “May your good work go on and fruc- tify for the benefit of yourselves and the whole country.” His remarks were received with great ap- plause, and a resolution was offered and puseed thanking the archbishop for his remarks. TO CALL ON THE PRESIDENT. The report of the committee appointed to wait upon the President, reported that he would receive the congress to-morrow at 1:10, The committee on finance reported expenditure of $6,700, and offered a resolu- tion assessing $1 per man to defray the expen- diture. The committee ——— had quite a discussion on who should do the printing. A resolution was offered designating the Catholic News, but as there was considerable opposi- tion it was withdrawn. An offer bya local photographer to take a picture of the congress was laid upon the table after some discussi It was agreed, however, that when the picture are taken one be sent to the pope. A LETTER FROM JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY wasread. It said: I very deeply regret that I am unable to attend the convention.

The paper showed that there are at present on the west coast of Africa Vicarlats apostolic. four prefectures apostolic, extending in and over one-sixth of the entire surface of Africa or nearly one-half the size of the United State of America. In this area the 28 mission- sionaries and 50 missio ms. There are 60 schools, with an regate attendance of over 7,000. There are ‘hurches and about 50 hospitals for the old and infirm. Many in- dustrial schools are scattered over the coun- | try, teaching the people agriculture. These have an attendance of 859 boys and The xr shows further that ther 8 being educated in Irels olored race in Africa, THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. After the remarks of Father Healy, Father Sullivan said that the report of the committee on resolutions was ready, and he would submit it. The report was in the shape of an address, After considerable discussion it was adopted, and a committee of three appointed to take it to his excellency, Cardinal Gibbons, The Address to the People. The address adopted sets forth that with the approval of his eminence the cardinal and other dignitaries of the Catholic church, the delegates come from various parts of the United States, At the close of their deliberations they deem it advisable to place before their Catholic fellow-citizens the following considerations: There are at present twenty colored Catholic churches in the country, each one of these hay- ing a school annexed; besides there are sixty- five colored Catholic schools, eight orphan asy- lums, three reformatories. The Catholic hos- pitals, homes for the poor, &c., are open to both colored and white children.. About 5,000 children are taught in our schools, over 300 children eared for in our asylums. As we have but one Catholic priest seven colored students are preparing to follow his noble example. Over 150 of the colored women are at present con- secrated sponsors of Christ, We warn our ople against all secret societies condemned ty Cockarchs, and hope thay will join Shove benevolent societies which have the Church's sanction. With regard to the union of me- chanics, many of whom are Catholics, we trust and will lend my ything to ad- > traffic, how a monk was that they will give an opportuniity to our boys to become masters of trade. As the evil of intemperance is increasing at a fearful rate among our people, we hope that they will do their best to keep those under their charge from all evil habits. Light and frivolous reading isnow se the intelli- ence of many of our youths; we, therefore, co that parents and guardians will place in the hands of their children as will be useful and entertaining. At 1:20 the convention adjourned to meet again at 3:30 o'clock. Outside the building on the steps the delegates assembled and were photographed. THE SESSION IN THE AFTERNOON. The afternoon session yesterday was opened with prayer by Father Tolton. Resolutions recommending the establishment of colored Catholic orphan asylums, advocating the in- sertion of a temperance plank in the platform of the convention, and urging Cardinal Gib- bons to give his co-operation and influence toward the speedy erection of the Catholic institute in this city, were umber of communications from the ting their inabilicy to. be: prosout were fead, were Se. of New York; Pg yee Philadelphia, and Bishops Foley, it, and Kane, of West Virginia, cor a num! at tended services at St. Augustine’s church. an} church. | He then went into a| ust it, and how the | ™ One of the Most Prosperous Newspapers in the Country.

Says a special to the Philadelphia Press from Pittsburg, January 2: Co-operation mining has been tested in the Pittsbarg district, and proved a failure. The American Co-operative coal company, of Forward township, has been dissolved, because the men found they could not make as much money as when employed by the regular operators. The company was com- posed of a number of men who had bees operating a mine in the third pool. For a time they seemed to prosper fairly well. ‘As soon as the market became dull and coal could be scar: iven away they had no re serve force to fall back on, and the shut-dows to them was disastrous. The American Co- operative coal company is the only real ex- periment in co-operation among miners that as ever been made in the Pittsburg district, Its failure has put a damper on such schemea, The coal situation has not changed a bit since the shut-down a month ago, except that the 6,000 miners have grown poorer. The lower market still remains the same, and shippers have hard work to get anyone to take the coal at 5iy cents, and the glut has be etry © glut has been very litte —_.e2—___.
