Bailey offi- ciating, in which the parties showed such de- termination to get away from the old folks and enter the state of matrimony as to win the commendation of those who assisted in and The parties were Isaac W. Posey, a young farmer of twenty-one, residing near Dumfries, Prince William county, Va., and Rosa Lee Gray of that village. The parents of the young lady did not look with favor on the attentions of young Isaac, bat the couple were in the habit of meeting out and = ad up, through mutual friends, ey lence. Last week it was arranged that they would leave on Sunday night and make their way to this city and be made one. Two seats were en; in the car- riage to take them to the railroad station. The young man was on time when the ve- hicle started, but the girl for some rea- son did not appear. Just before reach- ing @ stream which had been swollen over its banks Mr. Posey got out and went buck to ascertain the cause of the delay on the part of the bride expectant, and met her on the road. He ascertained that her father and mother had not retired that night at the usual hour, buta little after the mother went to bed. The father, who she found was smelling » mice, sat up in his chair. Finally sleep overtook him, and as he was snoring she left. The couple immedi- ately started after the carriage, the horses of which bad not succeeded in drawing it over the stream, and hailing the driver he turned back and took them in. They soon reached a railroad station, where they sat up till a morning train came. | On ar- riving here they met a friend, who — them to the clerk's office and Rev. Mr. y performed the ceremony. They then returned to tell the old folks that they would not do'so any more, . ——_ THEY DIDN'T KNOW EACH OTHER. How Two Policemen Came to Blows and Then Apologized. Anamusing fight with a painfal ending oc- curred near the corner of 8th street and Vir- ginia avenue southeast yesterday afternoon, when Policeman Kraemer arrested s young man named John Stewart on a charge of dis- orderly conduct. Stewart resisted arrest and some of his friends assisted him. ‘The officer was getting the worst of it when Policeman Horton appeared and took # hand in the trouble. The next to appear was Policeman Lightfoot, who was also in citizen: dress, and he and Ofiicer Horton being strangers there was a misunderstanding be- tween them as tothe parts they were taking and blows passed between them. They soon discovered their mistake and apologies made them good friends. When Stewart had been subdued he was cov- ered with blood and Policeman Kraemer's face showed the effects of some one’s shoe. Lawyer Moss appeared in the Police Court today to defend Stewart against three charges and he demanded a jury trial in each case. gee THE HANDICAP TOURNAMENT. The Tennis Contests in Progress on the Bachelors’ Courts. ‘The handicap tennis tournanment began on the courts of the Bachelors’ Club Saturday afternoon. The grounds were very muddy and only the two western courte were in a con- dition to play on, and even these were slip- pery. The handicap committee had so well es- timated the relative strength of the playerg that the few games played were, in the main, very well contested and were quite interesting to witness. 8. E. Lewis, in his match with ‘Thompson, was given odde of fifteen and one bisque and succeeded in winning by. a score of 7-9, 6-4, 6-4. Davidson beat W. L. McPherson, who was allowed fifteen. minus three bisques, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5. : Woodward allowed Wooten fifteen minus two bixques and won, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2.

The terms used may seem a little ab- stract, and a word of explanation may not be amiss. An allowance of a bisque means that the player so favored can add ten points to his score once during the playing of a set; an al- lowance of 15, that number of points as a start in each game; 34 15, the same number of points in every other game; !¢ 30, fifteen points in one ganie and thirty in the next one through a set.

Personally conducted tours are already being arranged in limited classes, for which subscription books have been opened, and the lists, itis reported, are being rapidly filled. ‘The most popular scheme thus far presented is one proposed by Senor Spindola, who will con- duct a great number of excursionists from Mexico to Chicago and retarn. The cost to each subscriber wall be €260, Mexican, and will include all the necessary expenses of the trip, viz: Railway fare to and from Chicago, Put! man car service, meals en route, ten days ‘at hotel in Chicago, ten admissions to the exposi- tion and street reilway tickets covering the entire period of the stay in Chicago. Other excursions on a like plan are proposed by sea, both from the east and west coast, to yw York and San Francisco and thence to Chicago by rail. Each party will be accompanied by com- petent interpreters and the different plans are bang most favorably commented upon by almost the entire press of Mexico. ag a Sales of Navy Yard Material. Some time ago complaint reached the Navy Department that the system of sclling old mate- rial in navy yards upon sealed proposals, as initiated in the sale at the New York navy yard last June, caused loss to the government and dissatisfaction to the bidders. Secretary Tracy appointed a board to investigate the matter and this board haa just reported through its president, Capt. Bunce. y find that all of the requirements of law were complied with at the sale; that the goods removed by purchas- ers corresponded exactly in kind with those offered for sale, and that variations in quantity were covered by the term “more or less” in the schedules. But two irregularities were discovered and they were trivial and resulted in no lors to the government. Summing up, the board approves strongly of the new system of sales and cannot find occasion for a single suggestion looking to improvement. occ se SUSPENDED FROM OFFICE, Mercantile Appraisers in Philadelphia to Be Prosecuted for Dereliction.

Nearly all of to the bush and harsh measures were found necessary to keep the others at work. Overseers were Placed at various points around the plantations with rifles. They were ordered to shoot any native who should try toescape. Dozens of the blacks did attempt to get away and many e shot down like dogs. Even this did not deter others irom trying to get away. HORRIBLE PARBARITY Then a whipping post was established. For the most trival offenses the blacks were brought up to be lashed. ‘The iash consisted of fine wire strands with little steel points fixed to theends. ‘Scores of the poor victims died under the lash. Others were tortured almost to death. Tl lash laid the ustripes, and in eve case the victim was covered with blood. No matter how terribly a victim of the horrible torture was injured, he was at once sent back to his work still bleeding. In all tropical countries an open sore as slow to heal, owing to the great heat. There were many poor fellows at work on plantations whose backs were covered With festering sores, produced by the sun beat- ing upon them while they were at work after having been lashed until the flesh was all baad open.

Iwo years ago an overseer named Schilling, who had been especially cruel with the Jesh, was seized one night by a party of blacks and taken into the bush. He was bound to a tree ina standing position. With the sharp edges of split bamboo the blacks severed the cords in both of Schilling’s wrists.

He was cut witha dull knife ina hundred places on bis body and arme and stripped nuked and then turned loose in the bush. ‘The sun made fes- tered sores of the cuts, but Nessler found his He is now completely covered with deep and ing sears. - Tt is estimated that no less then 2,000 of the imported natives have fled to the bush and are now living in_a savage condition on the Inland of Upolu. The Solomon Island and Fiji Island natives are nearly all cannibals. The presence of 80 many of them in Samoa has had a decidedly bad effect on the rest of the population, foreign as well as native.
