Clemons on Wednesday’ evening, the contracting parties being their eldest daughter, Una Dorothy, and Mr. Max Georgie. Owing to the fact that the bride’s mother is an in- valid, only the immediate relatives of both families were present.

Mrs. Hearst’s guests, who listened with such pleasure on Tuesday evening to the Haydn concert, given by Mr. Anton Seidl and his orchestra, will be sorry to hear that the leader is supposed to be at the point of death from pneumonia. Mr. Seidl, like the rest of his players, wore a 1770 costume, which he found heavy and closely fitting, and when the musicale was over, it is said, fcclishly exposed himself to a draught and contracted a severe cold on his return to New York on Wednesday. This developed into pneumonia, and yesterday the disease became acute. Last night it was stated at his home, No. 38 East 62d street, that Mr. Seidl was not expected to recover. Among Washington folks at Old Point Comfort are M. J. Rennick and wife, Jas. Covesier, W. A. Speakman, A. C. Moses, Mrs. A. A. Southworth, John Y. Worthing+ ton and C. B. Thompson.

Arnold, a colored boy front Washington, represented a Seminole In- dian last night in a play at a New York theater and evoked music from a comb, He wore the Indian dress, his blanket and trousers being plentifully hung with a long fringe made of hemp. In the middle of the scene one of the torch-bearers dropped hig light close beside Arnold. The flame reache ed out and caught the fringe at the bottom of his right leg. A tiny little flame it but the players did not see it and “arnola’d attention was taken up with blowing through his comb. “You're afire! you're afire there!” yelled some one from the front, rising and points ing excitedly at Arnold. Almost before the words were out of his mouth the unfortun- ate man was a mass of flames. The thea- ter, which had been quite dark, was now lighted up by this human torch. Arnold’s fantastic headdress was all ablaze. A stage carpenter threw a bucket of water over Arnold. The play went on and he was taken to a hospital.» He was badly but not fatally burned. —___+e+_____ Gen. C. L. Eaton's Death. Adjutant General Charles L.
