Four Generations Celebrate a Great Grandmother's Birthday— Personals, A pretty wedding took place this morn- ing at the Ep!phany Chapel, the contract- ing parties being Miss Mary Virginia Auld- ridge and Mr. Frank Edward Gaas. The bride, who is a decidedly pretty brunette, wore a blue cloth traveling costume. Among the numerous presents that the bride received was a fine china dinner set from the employes of the Smithsonian In- stitution, where Mr. Gass is employed. The couple left later for Atlantic City. The residence of Mr. Henry Gerhold, Whitney avenue, Mount Pleasant, was the scene of a novel gathering, where four generations were assembled to celebrate the ninetieth birthday of Mrs. Mary’ Ver- nau. After spending a delightful afternoon on the shady lawn supper was served in the spacious dining reom. The presents to the venerable lady were beautiful and nu- merous. Among those present were her daugh Mrs, John F. Atzel of 1219 New York avenue; her grandchildren, Mrs. Jos- eph B. Ehrmantraut, Messrs. Henry and George Gerhold; her great grandchildren, Miss Lillie Ehrmantraut, Gabrielle, Joseph and Norman Ehrmantraut, and Lizzie and Helen Gerhold. Mrs. R. A.

At Newport it was announced yesterday that Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt will throw open The Breakers, his new mansion, some time about the middle of August, giving a ball in honor of his daughter Gertrude. ‘This will probably be the grandest event of the season. A telegram was received at the surgeon general's office of the army yesterday after- neon announcing the dangerous illness of Mrs. O'Reilly, wife of Dr. O'Reilly, the President's prysician. She is with her hus- band at Ocean City, Md. Mr3. W. P. C.

To the Edito of The Evening Star: In connection with the controversy rela- tive to the erection of a music hall, Young Men's Christian Association building in this city, I would suggest that a combination be formed and a suitable building be see up, answering both purposes. I such a plan would be the most feas' especially as by means of elevators reasonable height can ull expense, and in a financial point of view a great advantage can be gained. There are people here who may subseribe or take stock in favor of the Choral So- ciety, but not for the other, and vice A building large enough to accommodate both societies will cost less and require less ground than two buildings, one for each; the revenues derived from one iarge one evidently will be greater and more permanent. “CRITIC.” pena eae The first installment of the detective story, “fhe Long Arm,” by M Mary E. Wilkins, will be printed in The Star Saturday, August 3. 2,000 prize AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. A Repuglican Club Formed and om- cers Elected—Other Items, Pursuant to a call of colored citizens of the third and fourth legislative districts, a large number of republicans assembled last night in Ebenezer Church here and organ- ized a republican club. After considerable talk on the present condition of District af- fairs and the necessity of every voter ex- erting himself to the utmost to elect the best possible men, a call for the election of officers was made. The assemblage united ‘on the choice of the following men as lead- ers of the new club: James Davenport, president; R. W. Hewlett, secretary, and Dr. C. B. Cruscr, Wm. H. Brown, James L. Turner, D. B, Lee and James Smith, executive committee. Addresses were de- livered by James L. Turner, Dr. Crusor and Samuel Ccllins. They all spoke of the earnest werk required of the elub in order to make itself felt favorably in the com- munity. For several weeks past a number of the Central Union Mission werkers have been assisting the pastor of the Baptist Church * at Tenleytown in building up an increased interest in religious matters. Last night there were forty assistants at the church, The meeting was conducted by Mr. L. L. Smith and was largely attended. There Was one professicn and conversion. These meetings are growing in power and large fina) results are expected. At the close of the meeting the workers boarded an elec- tric car end sang songs along the entire route to Georgetown. ‘The members of the volunteer fire de- partment of Tenleytown gave a picnic ye: terday at College Villa woods. There were various incidental attractions of a particu- larly interesting character. Success crown- ed the initial effort of the department. Mr. Nathan T. Imlay’s suspicion that the fellow “Wiley,” who killed his son, Wal- ter Imlay, last week outside of Baltimore, by stabbing him five times, while on his way to Wilmington, Del., from George- town, was Alfred Wood, or “Shorty,” a former employe at Imlay’s mortar mill, has proven to be unsubstantiated, as Weod has turned up in Georgetown again, while “Wiley” end the Georgetown boy, Harry Hickerson, or “Hicksy,” are still in the Baltimore jail. Hickerson’s bail has been fixed at $1,000. ———-. — MATTERS OF DEFICIENCY. On February 11 last Congress passed an act repealing the law retaining $4 per month from the pay of soldiers during the first year of their enlistment. It failed, however, to make an appropriation to meet the difference, and as a result there was a deficiency of about $50,000 in the budget of the army establishment for the last fiscal year. The effect of this was to delay the payment of the amounts due to a number of officers on regular and detached service and of the men at a number of posts for the month of June last, and they will be compelled to await an appropriation by Congress before they can get the money due them for that month. The men af- fected by this deficiency are those at the Madison barracks and Plattsburgh, N. ¥.; Fort Reno, I. T; the first infantry, at An- geil Island, Cal., and at some other places. The appropriations for the pay of the army for the fiscal year 1895-"%%i were made on the same general line as those for the preceding year, and the prospect is that there will be a deficiency approximating $200,000 for the present year. Congress at its last session also put wagoners, arti- ficers, musicians, etc., on the same foot- ing regarding pay on re-enlistment as the men of the army, but failed to make an appropriation to meet the extra outlay. This will increase the estimated deficiency - aS the present fiscal year to about $250,- a The Cattle Market. At the Union stock yard at Benning yes- terday 130 cattle were on the market, and sold as follows: Best, from 4 l-2c. to 4 3-4e. per Ib.; good, from 4 1-4c. to 4 1-2c.; me~ dium, from 4c. to 4 1-4¢.; common, from 2c, to 4c. Three hundred and eighty sheep and lambs were on the market. Old sheep sold from 2c. to 2 1-2e. per Ib.; lambs, from 3c, to Se. Cows with calves sold from $20 to $35 each. Market fair. BORN. BRYANT.
