Nearly 10,000 men and women went on strike this morning and the cloak manufacturing trade is practically at a stand stil It was predicted yesterday that unless « satisfactory settlement could be reached between the locked out cloak cutters and the manufacturers the workmen in the other departments would quit work. Last night theyynotified their employ- ers that they would not return to work until! the difliculty with the cytters had been ad- justed. » strikers have concluded to have nothing todo with the state board of arbitra- tion and mediation. They allege they aro strong enough to fight their own battles with- out any outside interference. There will be a meeting of the cloak manufacturers at 5 o'clock this afternoon. - A Ruce Battle.

Several negroes were caught by the whites, who threatencd to lynch them iast night. Both sides are well armed and more bloodshed is expected. The trouble was caused byakeg of beer. On Sunday a crowd of miners bought a keg of beer and went out in the woods todrink it. After drinking the beer they were throwin; stones at the empty keg.

Baron Von Zedtwitz, the German minister to Mexico, and Miss Lina Caldwell were married in the chapel 6f the Catholic University, beyond the Soldiers’ Home, by Bishop Spalding of Peoria, Ill. today at 11:15 o'clock. The ceremony lasted forty minutes, as it clozed with a low mass celebrated by the bishop. The day was an ideal bridal day, and the drive from the city was a most enjoy- able one taken through the Soldiers’ Home grounds. Adjoining are the university grounds, to the building of which the bride's sister gave $300,000. The little gem of a chepel in which the marriage was performed today was built by the bride and she was mar- ried before its altar. ‘fhe groom and his best man, Baron Speck von Sternberg. military attache of the German legation, arrived on the scene at 1] o'clock, Baron von, Zedtwitz wore his military uni- form, that of an ‘officer of cavalry in the Saxon ‘dragoons, and in it he appears a model of manly perfection.

Carter. They wore white jasmine in their button holes, The chapel was profusely set with palms; the altar was set with palms and the aisle carpet was in green, and it all blended harmoniously with the cool whitencss of the altar and the niches, in each of which was set a prayer altar, The broad stairways leading to the chapel and the broad landing and the stair- ways leading to the halls of the university from the chapel door were filled picturesquely by the — students—young priests in their ong black cassocks, ‘The altar was lighted by a few tapers, but the sun threw a beantiful golden light through the painted windows over the scene. There were a few white lilies on the altar. The grand organ played in subdued strain throughout the entire service. Mr. Wm. Struve of the Russian legation escorted Miss Gwendolin Caldwell to aseat ata desk in front of the altar, and Mr. Engene Kelly of New York — escorted Mrs, Donnelly. Mr. Carter took in Miss Donnelly. Bishop Spalding in purple soutan and hat, accor panied by his attend- ants, Father McGinley and Father McCough- lan, passed up the aisle and inside the chancel railing The groom and his best man en- tered from a_ side door into the chaucel, and the bride entered and passed up the aisle, preceded by the ushers and escorted by Mr. Frye of New York, who is one of the legal advisers and trustees for the sisters, BEFORE THE ALTAR. ‘The groom met her at the steps of the chan- ceL Amurmar of admiration rose from the little company as the bride appeared. She wore her dark hair in a coronet, upon which the priceless point d’Argencan lace was fastened with a cluster of orange blossoms, The bodice. of ivorie satin, was made high, with a surplice front edged with lace, and the sleeves were close and long of the satin with aslight puff at the shoulder. The front of the skirt was draped with point lace, and the train, as it extended from the bride at the altar to the foot of the chancel steps, one beautiful creamy und tion of satin, was fairly adored by every woman the house. The veil of point @Arger lace was carried from the face and fell at the back far below the waist, The tablier lace was caught with sprays of orange blossoms and most «ffectively draped. She carried a white prayer book in her hand. Miss Caldwell “wore a most becoming toilet of pale amber satin, striped with white, and trimmed about the bodice with gold lace, and she wore a bonnet of violets, Mrs, Donneliy was in royal purple velvet trimmgd with jet, and Miss Donnelly in wore a short dress’ of cream — silk and lace and a broad hat of yellow net. Bishop Keane. who is at the head of the university, was within the chancel rails and assisted in the low mass that followed the mar- riage service, which lasted some time and was an imposing ceremonial, the officiating bishop covering his purple soutan with a white lace alb anda gorgeous chasuble of gold-embroid- ered gold-hued heavy silk. A PAPAL BLESSING, At the close of the low mass, through which the bride and groom had occupied chairs and kneeling benches alternately within the chancel rails, the bishop turned to the pair and announced to them that he had received the blessing of the head of the chureh. the Pope of Rome, upon their bridals and delivered with it a short advisory address, The Baron and Baroness von Zedtwitz then passed through _the chapel and = waited in an_—_ante- room for their carriage, where some of the Witnesses pressed to offer congratulations, THE GUESTS, Among those present at the chapel were Sec- retary Blaine, Minister and Mrs. Romcro, Baron Fava, Sir Julian and Lady Paunce- fote and the Missses Pauncefote, Sena- ator and Mrs. Vance, Mr. and Mrs. pakhmetiff, Count Sala,’ Mr. de Struve, Dr. Ruth, Mr.’ Wm.

The Tariff Bill to be Reported to the Senate Tomorrow. Chairman Morrill of the Senate finanee com- mittee announces that at today’s meeting of the republican members of the committee the tariff bill was closed against further amend- ments, and will be reported to the Senate tomorrow. It has been found impossi- ble to prepare the report of the ma- jority in time for it to accompany the bill on its presentation tothe Senate and it will be submitted later, probably before the debate is opened on the bill. Senator Morrill said today that the debate would not in all probability be- gin before next week.

Senator Chandler has returned to Washing- ton from a fishing trip of several weeks through Maine and New Hampshire and appeared on the floor of the Senate today. THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE, PUZZLE. ‘The Senate origina: package bill was again under consideration before the House judiciary committee today. So far the proceedings have been confined to a critical analysis of existing laws, Supreme Court decisions and constitu- tional provisions, and the indications are that several sessions of the committee will be so consumed. It begins to appear that a number of the members haps a majority—are not satistied that the last decision of the Supreme Court was a correct interpretation of constitu- tional law; butas there is a fecling that the committee is dealing with one of the most deli- cate and complex problems involving the re- spective rights of the national and state gov- ernments, ever considered by it, a very consery- ative spirit is manifested at ail stages of the discussion, The only evidence of the ultimate purpore of the committee is to be found in the willingness of many of its mem- bers to allow the states to exercise within con- sututional limitations control over the liquor traffic, if this can be effected by an addition to or amendment of existing law.

Mr. Butterworth introduced in the Honse yesterday a resolution providing that the House meet on the Fourth of July at 11 o'clock a.m, and devote the day to the celebration, by suitable exercises, of the adoption and pro- mulgation of the Declaration of Independence. ‘ihe resolution also provides for inviting the and the soci of the “Sons of the American Revolution” to attend the meeting of the Hon The resolution authorizes the appointment of a committee, composed of nine members of the House, to be appointed by the Speaker, to make suitable arrangements for ying into effect the provisions of the reso- lution, A MILITARY BOARD OF REVIEW. Mr. Osborne of Pennsylvania introduced in the House yesterday a bill authorizing the Sec- retary of War to appoint a board of review, to consist of three members and a recorder, from the officers of the army on the active or retired list, to review the proceedings, findings and sentence of any court-martial for the trial of a commissioned oficer below the rank of briga- dier general or enlfsted man serving in the vol- unteer service during the war of the rebellion where the accused has been dishonorably dis- charged from the military service of the United States, THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. With the exception of the proposed appro- priation for Hay lake channel and the Sault Ste Marie canal the river and harbor bill has been completed by the Senate committee on commerce. The committee will probably add a million dollars for the Hay lake and Sault ste Maric improvement. ‘This will bring the in- creases made by the Senate committee on the House billup to about 35,500,000, The bill will be reported probably tomorrow. EAVES’ NOMINATION STILL PENDING, ‘The Senate in secret session yesterday after- noon had under consideration the nomination of J. B. Eaves to be collector of internal reve- nue for North Carolina, The nomiuation was held up for some time in the finance commit- tee on charges that Eaves had bought the in- fluence that gave him his appointment, &e. It was reported to the Senate favorably some time ago. Senator Vance opposed the confirmation strongly, It was debated at some length. When a vote was taken ut Go'clock there was a ma- jority in favor of coniirmation, but no quorum yoted, and, pending a call of the Senate, an adjournment was had, TO PREVENT WASTE OF FonEsTs. The President yesterday sent to Congress a brief communication from the Secretary of the Interior concerning tho destruction o timber on public lands by fires carelessly kin- died or left burning. The President states tif proper penalties were imposed by law and a few cvuvictions secured much waste of the forests would be prevented. With» the communication of the Secretary, which is merely a letter of transmittaf, is inclosed a bill providing “for the protection of trees and other growth in the public domain from de- struction by fire.” False Weights. To the Editor of Tux Evesine Stan: ‘This morning I paid an “Arab” for a peck of potatoes, and on weighing them found only a little over ten pounds, instead of fourteen. There seems to be almost no protection for the public but for each family to have a pair of scales and weigh all thoy purchase. The sealer of weights and measures goes around and cor- rects the false weights, only to find them light when he calls again, but no prosecutions fol- low. Until severe penalties are imposed and an increased detective force is appoiuted the law-breakers will continue to fleece the public to the detriment of honest dealers.

McElhone, for many years chief of the official stenographers of the House of Representatives, died of paralysis today at At- lantic City, in his fifty-ninth year, Word that he was sinking came early in the day and rapidly among his hosts of friends at the Capitol, where he had labored for many years. ‘Mr. McElhone was in a very bad condition of health when this Congress opened, and as the work of the session went on he showed signs of breaking down, but he was almost prostrate before he stopped work. His trouble was an exhaustion of nervous tissues. He remained in the city for some time, confined to his bed, but hoping to be able to resume work again before the close of the session. But when it became evident that he would not be able to be about for severable months, a substitute was ap- pointed in his place, and about a week ago he was taken to Atlantic City. HIS CAREER. His career as a parliamentary reporter cov- ers the whole period of verbatum reporting of the proceedings of Congress. He was at first stenographer for a year in the Senate, then being a _ mero _ boy; and iu 1849 he came to the Honse as stenog- rapher, and has served there sinco, ly as chief of the corps, Besides his congressional reporting, in which he took the words of some of the famous congressional debaters, he has reported some important conventions. He was a man of errudition and enjoyed the friendship and confidence of many public men, He and Mr. Randall were close friends, both being natives of the same city, and the death of Mr. Randall was a severe shock to him, He was probably the only stenographer in the country who could report equally well with either hand. In reporting on the floor of the House he often shifted from his right to hi left hand or the reverse without interrupting his speed. He possessed a familiarity with parliamentary usage and understood two or three foreign languages, He was connected with the Philadelphia Press at its ineipicncy and wrote letters fon Washington for some time after he began re= porting the proceedings of the House. He leaves a widow and a number of children, some of whom are grown. Mr. McElhone : her eldest son James were at Atlantic City Mr. McElbone, ns FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, ath New York Stock Market.

BONDS GIVEN IN $25,000—sUDGE BINGHAM RE- QUIRES HIM TO STAXD UP IN COURT AND PROMISE NOT TO DRINK—THE TRIAL PosT- PONED TO OCTOBER. There was much consultation among counsel in the Criminal Court this morning and much chatter in the audience that seems to have a: abnormal interest in the case of Frank K. Ward, whose endeavor to secure bail had at- tracted a great deal of attention. Yesterday afternoon after Tur Stax report closed the ar- gument on the motion to admit to bail and con- tinue the case was closed by Senator Blackburn for the defendant. Chief Justice Bingham an- nounced that he would give his decision this morning. By 10 o'clock this morning there were no vacant seats and a very fair proportion of the standing room was occupied, Shortly after 10 o'clock Ward entered, escorted by his wife, her sister and his son, There was an ap- pearance of hopefulness in Ward's demeanor, which has not heretofore been visible. He talked almost continuously with his wife, who sat at his left hand. Personally Ward was something of an improvement on his previous appearance, He was clean shaven and wore the me gray suit he had on yesterday. A white hirt and a new turned-down collar had exp- planted the dusky flannel garm. nt he has been wearing. while a small silk crimson and bine scarf brightened up his costume considerably, A GENRRAL CONSULTATION. When Chief Justice Bingham first entered the court room he did not take his accustomed seat on the bench. He held afew minutes’ whispered conversation with District Attorney Hoge and then retired. The district attorney talked for a while with his assistant, Mr. Lips- comb, and them they both had confidential communication with counsel for the defense, the upshot of which was that Mr. Jere M. Wil- son, Senator Blackburn and Mr, Coleman went out with them and, together with the chief justice, held a lengthy consultation, A SMILE, It was 10:35 when court and counsel returned, the district attorney being considerably in the rear, The look of appealing anxiety on Ward's face was painfully evident, but it was no more so than the expression of his faithful wifes features. As Senator Blackburn passed them ‘on the way to his seat he nodded reassuringly at his client. In an instant a broad smile had chaved away all doubt. Tho cheerfulness spread to Ward's wife and child and there was a very joyous grin on the face of Mrs. Ward's sister. THE DECISION. The silence Was absolute chief justice commenced to deliver his ision, Very slowly he said: “In the case of the United States against Frank K. Ward a motion has been made fora continuance and to admit to bail. The evidence of a number of witnesses has been submitted to the court, princi- pally the testimony of medical experts in ‘relation to the condition health, mental and physical, of the I do not prop to discuss or in detail this dence, but will simply give the impressions it made upon my mund. ‘The testimony establishes the fact that this defendant is seriously affected with a bodily disease; that he has a disease which, if | not already beyond the power of human skill to restrain, soon will be. Medical experts say he is affected with Bright's disease m an ad- vanced stage. It is of course necessary that he should have strict medical treatment, and it also seems necessary that the circumstances surrounding him should be as favorable as possible in order that he may be restored in whole or in part to health. In addition to these physical disqualitications his nervous sys- tem is so affected as to affect his mind. There 1s not sufficient nutrition of the brain and that organ cannot perform its | proper functions, He is unable to sustain | continuous mental exertion. He is unfit to sustain protracted excitement such as would be caused by his trial. For that reason it would ifestly improper that he should be tried just now. His counsel have stated that he is not of any use to himself nor can he assist them; he is not in any fit con- dition to be a witness, I am of the opinion that it would not be proper to say that he should have a trial at this time; it would not be in accordance with any proper practice with | which I am familiar. WHAT SHALL BE DONE? “If the case be continued the question arises, what shall be done with the defendant? The evidence shows that the physical and nienta! manifestations of disorder would con- tinue until he would probably lose his reason and his life. The evidence is to the effect that any enforced confinement would probably be detrimental to the defendant's health. What he needs 1s complete rest; complete dissocia- tion from the events and scenes by which he 1s now surrounded. A QUESTION OF SAFETY. “Under such circumstances I deem it my duty, if it can be done with safety, to order that he may be admitted to bail. Whether it can be done with safety to the defendant and | to the public is the quest: that has troubled | my mind. The evidence is plain that the de- fendant has been addicted to the free use of intoxicating liquors, and the effects and extent of t habit have been developed in this and a former hearing. With the knowledge we have of the difficulty usually ex- perienced by those who endeavor to divoree tLemselves from the liquor habit I have feared there would be great danger lest, if the defend- | ant was adinitted to bail, he might relapse into intemperate drinking and all the evil effects of his former dissipation be repeated or more | than repeated. In his present condition it | needs no expert to tell that such a relapse would be fatal to himself and might be danger- ous to the public. “If the defendant will entirely refrain from intoxicants I feel assured he will be safe, both to the public and himself. Whether he can re- cover or not with temperance is a question, but I have no doubt thet indulgence in strong k would bring about his speedy dec: “The matters of which I speak are matters of public notoriety, and i speak of them because it is my duty to. Now, Mr. Ward, I wish to | ask you if you wil! promise me solemnly to re- frain absolutely and entirely from all intoxicat- ing liquors? WARD'S PLEDGE. Ward arose qu nd, with a good deal of rapidity, said: ir; 1 promise at, and T call upon this audience to witness it” Then | he sat down, BAIL IN $25,000, The court then announced that the defend- ant was admitted to bail in the sum of $25,000, and added. “I would warn the defendant that if this pledge he has made here is violated means will be taken to secure his immediate reincarceration. The order of the court is made subject to the keeping of the pledge.” Judge Wilson of the defense addressed the court and stated that if any knowledge of a violation of the pledge came to his ears he would at once notity his honor. Senator Blackburn tapped him on the arm and whispered, “Say it for all of us,” and Mr. Wilson repeated his declaration in the plural, TO BE CALLED FOR TRIAL OcTORER 14. It was then agreed to discharge the witnesses until Tuesday, October 14, when the case will be called for trial. WAITING FOR BONDSMEN. _ Ward, with a number of friends and counsel, retired into one of the witness rooms and there awaited the coming of his bondsmen at the hour of 1 o'clock, when formal recognizauces were to be entered into, THE BONDSMEN AND THEIR POSSESSIONS, At a few minutes past 1 the chief justice took his seat again, and the defendant and his coun- scl entered. Mr. Wilson called those who were offered as sureties, and they were sworn. They were questioned as to their ressponsibility and answered as follows: W. H. Clagett, worth over $200,000; Thomas Walsh, over ©105,000; W.B. Williams, over $100,000; Andrew Gleason, $75,000 to $100.000:G. J. Mneiler, 230,000; Justin McCarthy, £40,000. .
