A MEMORABLE SCENE Marriage of Miss Vanderbilt to the Duke of Marlborough. CROWDS WAIT OUTSIDE THE CHURCH Police Keep Them Moving to Pre- vent a Crush. OF THE CEREMONY ——— SCENES NEW YORK, November 6.—The Duke of Merlborovgh ard Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt were married at St. Thomas’ Churee, avenue and 53d street, teday at 1 o'clock. The threatening aspect of the weather early this morting prevented the gathering of a large crowd, although as early us 5 o'clock a number of women had monopoliz- ed the entrance to the Twombly mansion, adjoining the church, and their example was followed by later arrivals, who took advantage of railings, doors and garden picts, and in some instances window sills were occupied by women. As the hour for opening the church ap- preached many of the guests who were waiting in the vicinity in their carriages dicve up to the entrances on Std street and 5th avenue, and, alighting, got in line in a gcod-natured way. The crowd at this time began to swell, and the police, in charge of four precinct commanders, under crders from Iaspector Kertwright, kept the spectators moving, none being permitted to loiter in front of the approaches to the edifice, and there Was no unnecessary crush in the imme- diate vicinity of the entrances through ich the bridal party or guests had to ery arrival at the church was eagerly scanned by the crowd, but very little cou be seen of any of the costumes by out- siders, owing to the awnings, which were closed th entire length to the curb and which prevented the guests from being seen on’ alighting from their cari The crowd, however, made up for surrounding the carriages which were in line, men and women scrambling and jos- tling az » ist each other in their eagerness to see tue occupants. The crowd around the Vanderbilt home on 72d street was not large, owing proba- bly to the efforts of the police. Residents in the vicinity were out in force upon their stoops, and all of the windows in th hotel facing the bride's home were occu- pied principally by women. ‘The Vanderbilt servants left for the church early, where they were accommo- dated with seats in front, as well as the tutors and governesses of the fami Among th very early arrivals were Miss Armide Smith, sister of Mrs. Vanderbilt, and a maid, who drove over early nd entered the church. The Mortons, J nonts, Goelets and Cuttings arrived y and cl asantly among them- while they waited for the doors to When the doors were opened at 10 o'clock a part of those who were in line were ad- mitted to the church as their carr diew up to the entrances, and the occ parts were received by the ushers ana con- diveted to the vestibule, where their cards of invitation were scrutinized, and the gucsis were then conducted to the pews al- jetted to them, When Gov. Morton and his family arrived the crowd, having by that time assumed erermous proportions, cheered vociferously, and the governor bowed his thanks to the cheering multitude. The duke, accompanied by his best man, the Hon. Ivor Guest, drove to the church, and, on alighting, they were also accorded a warm reception. When the bi who ‘was accompanied by her father, arrived at the church, the cheering was something tremendots, and the bride leaned heavily on her father's arm as he assisted her frem the carriage. The police on duty prevented a rush, ard a passageway was kept open from the church entrance to the bridal carriag When the newly wedded couple left sacred edifice to be driven to the bride's home the surging mass cheered again and again, and many thousands of people lined the walk from the church to the residence of the bride, on 72d street. Mr. Vanderbilt left the church and drove away alone. Mrs. Vanderbilt, with her sis- ter, Miss Smith, and her two sons, left the church by a side door after the signing of the register and returned to the house a few minutes before the bridal party. The rest of the party went to the house in their carriages in line, and the wedding reception ‘was held. Inside the Church. The scene inside the church was one which will never be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to have gained ad- mission, The church was not too crowded. Women of wealth and sociz! prominence vied with each other in the richness and grandeur of their equipage, lending to the oceasion the brilliancy of an old world court function. The guests, as they were admitted, were conducted to pews b Messrs. F. Crockholst Cutting, Ricnard M. Wilson, jr., Resinald Ronalds, Herbert D. Robbins and Hamilton Wilkesbury, who acted as ushers. At 10:30 Dr. Warren, the organist, entered the choir stalls, attired in cassock surplice and crimson hood, and for over an hour performed a varied pro- gram on the organ, which included the Last chord and fugue, “Mount of Olives, Beethoven; Offertoire, in C, Batiste: “Ave Maria,” Fanfare, Lemmens; “Tne Magic Flute,” Mozart; wedding mu- sic, extemporaneous; and the “Marche du Sacre” of Meyerbeer. While the latter march was being played the surplice choir of sixty voices left the chapter room and entered the cantoris and decani stalls, where they awaited the com- ing of the olficiating clergy to the chancel proper. Immediately the choristers were seated the New York Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Walter Damrosch, com- menced playing Beethoven’s Overture ‘‘Leo- nore,” No. III, and performed a varied pro- gram until 11. Shortly before noon the orchestra, ac- companied by the harp and organ, ‘com- enced playing the wedding march from ohengrin,” and immediately afterward Vanderbilt, accompanied By her two » William i.

The pews immediately behind the one cc- cupied by Mrs. Vanderbilt were occupied by Miss Armide Smith, Mrs. Vanderbilt's sister, and the parents of the bridesmaids. Immediately after Mrs. Vanderbilt and Si Julian Pauncefote had taken their sea the bridegroom, accompanied by his man, Mr. Ivor Guest, walked from the 3 to the chancel rail, where he awaited the coming of his bride. A few minutes after the duke’s entrance the bridal proc n formed in the tower room in the follow- ing order and proceeded to the chancel: First, the bridesmaids, Miss Katherine Duer and Miss Elsa Bronson, Miss May Goelet and Miss Laura Jay, Miss Daisy Post and Miss Evelyn Burden. Miss Morton and Miss Marie Winthrop. Then came the bride, leaning on the arm of her father, W. K. Vanderbilt.

The Gains in the Business During His Administration—The Two Differ- ent Inventories. Harrison Barbour, by Attorney Clar- ence A. Branderburg, filed today with the auditor of the court his account as adminis- trator of the estate of James L. Barbour, deceased, and also his account as surviving partner of the late firm of James L. Rarbour & Son. In his account as administrator Mr. arbour charges himself th the sum of 385.27, being the amount of the Inven- tory, receipts from the milling business and sources He shows the disbursement of S98, ) in the purchase of goods, pay- ment of debts and in making partial distri- bution to the next of kin, leaving a balance of $130,949.88 on this account, which he re- cently turned over to John A. Hamilton, under the order of the court. In his account, as surviving partner of the firm of James L. Barbour & Son, Mr. Barbour shows the resources of the ‘busi- ness on February 3, 1804, the date of the death of James L.' Barbour, to be $470,- YS441, while the liabilities on that date were $149,348. leaving the excess of re- sources over liabilities on that date, *# 5.

Bayard, went on board the Edinburgh express to- day, the train being upon the point of starting for Scotland, a representative of the Associzted Press shcwed him the elec- tion returns received from the United States. He read them carefully and said: “This is a surprise to me. I do not think it possible to define the tseues of the recent elections and the catise of these returus.

The im- pression which this politician intended to convey was that the democrats of Ken- tucky had recognized in this campaign a clear issue between sound money and busi- ress principies and unsafe currency and char‘atan polities. Having recognized the issue, they showed ro hesitancy drawing the line upon it against old party aflilation The early returns of today indicated that the republicans had carried Kentucky by about 4,000 majority. These returns were ‘Ken- provincial | from only e’ghty counties, however, and the ack districts may alter the figures. There is a good stretch of country in the state which is inaccessible to the telegraph wire, and returns are very slow. Every district in the siate showed a failing off in the democratic vote.

The Legislative Majority. Special Dispatch to ‘The Evening Stas. LOUISVILLE, Ky., November 6.—Returns received up to 10 o'clock indicate Bradley's election by not less than 6,00, The re- turns are being received slowly from many mountain counties, and this makes it im- possible to give the figures, though Brad- ley’s election is now conceded. Gen. Hard- in, the democratic candidate for governor, whose picturesque campaign has caused a democratic upheaval, admits his opponent's election by a small majority and accepts his defeat gracefully. The indications are that the republitans will have a majority in both house and senate, which insures the defeat of Senator Blackburn, free silver candidate, to suc- ceed himself.

Democratic majorities in democratic strongholds have been shaved to almost nothing. As it stands, with reports from about eighty counties, Bradley has a lead of about 4,000 votes for governor.

LARGE ELEMENT OF THE PARTY ACSTILE Chairman Wellington Discusses the Result. FRAUD AT THE POLLS SS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., November 6.—The grcat political upheaval of yesterday is, of course, the dominant topic today. The re- Fublican headquarters have been thronged at all hours, and everywhere praises are heard for the skill displayed by the repub- lean chairman, Mr. George L. Wellington. Mr. Wellington, in commenting on the result to The Star correspondent, said that it was in no sense a republican Victory, but an up- rising of the people, and that without the support of the better element of the democ- racy and the democratic press he would heve been helpless. The regular democrats are exceedingly blue, and are not prene to express their v-ews. The loss of the governorship means litle to them, as they had practically con- ceded Mr. Lowndes’ election long ago, but the loss of the city hall, which has been a democratic grab-bag since 1867, is a serious matter, and those who have passed their Life in office under tne Rasin regime are at a loss to know where to turn. At the democratic headquarters the de- feat is taken philosophically. Chairman Talbot told The Star correspondent that he attributed the result to the hostility of a large number of democrats to Senator Gor- man’s domination of the party. Mr. Tal- bot said that, notwithstanding the defeat, Mr. Gorman and his friends still controlled the state committee and the party organ- ization, and would yet make their power felt. The republicans are already proving themselves hungry for office. Mr. Welling- ton has been besieged today with numbers of the faithful who are anxious to serve the'r party, and there is every prospect of many sharp conflicts between republi- can competitors in the rush for office. Mr. Charles J. Bonaparte, the republican election supervisor, iu commenting on the election this morning, said: “I am one of the small minority who now admit that they didn’t know all about it In advance. I had formed no definite opinion as to the probable result, and although I cannot say 1 am surprised at this I should not have been surprised had it been different. ‘The incidents of the election in the seventeenth 1 convineed me that but for the vi ous expressions of public nt on the subject of election outra; and the pre- e aken to guard azainst them, Mr. ve been elected just as Carroil was. Indeed, ne has been just a3 much elected, but he will uot get as much ef the offi There is cre thing T he not happen, this is no time to let be bygones. Information is al- ines cominitted y election and other public officers, and J ropose to show what my letter of Monday ‘But this 1s not all. The Center Market Space ‘bum' who told a Reform League watcher that he had voted ten times ought to be punished, but he is not to my mind either so dangerous or contemptible as the rich man with a store on Hopkins place, who promises him protection for his in- tended crimes. Such people as the latter should be made to feel that every honest man hates and despises them. It is a pity they cannot be punished otherwise, but at least they can be punished thus. The po- lice beard will, I hope, make a searching inquiry into all complaints against officers. I propose to exert whatever little influence I may have either in the republican party or community at large to prevent any man being hereafter deprived of his livelihood merely because he is a democrat, just as 1 have protested for twenty years against shutting out a man from public employ- ment merely because he is a republican. But a policeman who is either an active or passive accompiice of repeaters and roughs cannot be given his walking papers too scon, and if the chaff is now separated from the wheat there is less danger that all may go later in the fiery furnace. Friends of good government and pure poli- ties have a very good winter's work cut out for them.’ Mr. Bonaparte will prob- ably be chosen police commissioner if he will take it.

This will give the republicans a majority of four in this branch. \ Republicuns Have the Legislature. ‘Incomplete returns from the state of Maryland, including Baltimore city, indi- cate the election of Lowndes, republican governor, by at least 15,000 to 10,000 ma- jority, carrying along with him in the office the rest of the state ticket, the controller and attorney general. The house of dele- gates will perhaps have more than sixty republicans. The senate will be close, with the chances in favor of a republican ma- jority. On joint ballot the republicans will, ho doubt, have a safe majority. 53,25. DEATH OF MRS. D. P. BOWERS The Famous Actress Passes Away in This City. She Hnd a Long and Successful Career and Occupied a High Histrionie Position. Mrs. D. P. Bowers, the actress, whose fame as an impersonator of standard char- acters was spread wherever the English language is spoken, died this morning at 4:30 o’clock at the residence of her daugh- ter, Mrs. Frank V. Bennett, No. 1738 15th street northwest, after a short illness. Mrs. Bowers was attacked Friday last by laryn- gitis, but the malady did not present any dangerous features. Yesterday morning, however; she was prostrated by a visita- tion of heart failure, and her condition be- came alarming. A consultation of physi- clans developed tife fact that she was marked for pneumonia and that the com- plications arising from these symptoms and the sudden attack in the morning made her case a serious one, although no fatal ter- mination was looked for. Her death this morning, therefore, was unexpected. Mrs. Bowers was born in Con- necticut in 1830, and ‘was the daughter of a minister named Crocker, her sister being Mrs. F. B, Conway. She went upon the stage when seventeen years old and imme- diately attracted attention by the feeling and fidelity with which she portrayed the parts entrusted to her. While her reputation was being rapidly made she married Mr. D. P. Bowers, and together they became the leading people in a stock company in Baltimore. After several successful years In .that city Mr. and Mrs. Bowers leased the Walnut Street Theater in Philadelphia, and it was trom that city that she began her starring tours, which gave her eminent place among the actresses of her day. After the death of her first husband she married Dr. Brown, and upon his decease, after several years of widowhood, she married J. T. McCullom, who had been her leading man for many years. He died about ten years ago, and since that time Mrs. Bowers nas lived a retired life. No woman on the stage ever held a higher po- sition and graced it_more noticeably or re- tained it so well. She was attractive so- cially as well as in her professional life, and a large number of sincere friends will deeply mourn her loss. Mrs. Bowers left three children, a daug- ter, May, who is the wife of Mr. Frank V. Bennett, marager of the Arlington Hotel Mr. Walter Bowers of the New York cu tom house and Mr. Harry C. Bowers, for- merly proprietor of the old St. Mare Hotel, in this city, and at present manager of the Portland Hotel, at Portland, Ore. The fu- reral will take place Friday afternoon from the Bennett residence, and the interme:t will probably be in Philadelphia, where the remains of her first husband are buried. The arrangements, however, for the last rites have not been completed. patie ae FORAKER’S ELECTION SURE. Republicans Have a Big Majority in Ohio's Legislatare. Dispatch to The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 6.—The de- tails of the result of the election yesterday in this state are coming in slowl; The democratic state committee is receiving no reports from the state today, and those com- ing to the républican state committee simply affirm the estimates of last night. In this county the democrats elect their three can- did:tes for the house, and this district elects two democratic senators. Here, at the cap- ital, only the democrats seem to have mad gains, : The republicans did not claim the elec tion of their candidates here last night, however, so that the geieral result as to the ture, aS announced, there remains unchanged. With the second and tweifth s-natorial districts and Seneca county, the legislature will stand twenty-nine r.publ:can senators and six democratic senators;e.ghty- three republican representatives and twen- ty-eight democrats. Of course this means the election of For- aker to succeed Senator Brice without a contest. The fact that the state has given such an overwhelming plurality to the Foraker tick- et shows that the McKinley men were loyal and it is generally conceded that Gov. Mc- Kinley has earned the hearty support of Foraker in the presidential campaign next year, and will get it. The republican plurality in the state will be about 100,000. Both the populist and prohibition parties seem to have lost strength, while the ; ew socialist labor party has polled such a small vote as to lose its place on the ticket. — Personal Mention.

Spcei: | ment of BURIED UNDER RUINS Bursting Boilers Cause a Buildiag to Collapse, DISASTER IN DETROIT JOURNAL OFFICE Many Girls and Women Were at Work. RESCUING THE VICTIMS -- DETROIT, Mich., November 6.—At about 9 o'clock this morning the boilers in the Journal buifiding, corner of Larned and Shelby streets, exploded with terrific force. A portion of the building about forty feet wide immediately collapsed, burying scores of people in the ruins, Many girls and women were employed in the bullding. Shortly after 9 o'clock the ruins broke out in flames, ani the great clouds of stifling smoke seriously impeded the fire- men in their work of rescue. It is known that at the time of the col- lapse the stercotypers engaged on the fifth floor were Michael Ward, Arthur Lynch, James Ross. All three of them went down in the wreck. In the third story was the Habbin electro- type foundry, in which there were some half dozen men. In the top story was the Journal's stereo- typing department, where four or five men were busy. As near as can be learned there were frcm twenty-five to thirty at work in the building exclusive of these who may have been injured while passing on the street. Three men were carried into the News office in a helpless condition within three minutes after the terrible explosion. Cries of others could be heard in the ruins, but the confusion was too great to secure details. The people who were brought into the News office were Martin Myer, an advei 4ising solicitor of the Evening News, badly cut in the neck and head; R. H. Foye, ad- vertising solicitor on the News, cut about the lead; Frank G. Meiner, an artist in the Calvert ‘Lithographic Company, terribly gashed in his forehead. The portion of the b the boilers, on the ‘st floor, was oc z by the Journal's mailing department. About five men and boys were there at work. In the second story was George Hiller's bookbindery, in which a couple of men and about a score of girls were employed. All of these people, boys and girls, were precipitated Mmto the horrible chaos of ruins and escaping steam. The fire department Was summoned at once, afd with the aid of many persons who were attracted to the spot at once began the work of rescuing the poor vic- tin ding directly above Building Cat in Two. The large building is cut clearly In two, frcm frort to rear, by a gap of forty feet, at the bottom cf which is an almost solid pile of timbers, brick and debris, into which the first hour or two work of search for ade but little progress. The John Company, dealers in grocers’ sun- dries, occupied the ground fioor and base- one end of the buildin The firm’s list ef eniployes is not large, but it is doubtful whether ail escaped. The gap in the builc xtends through about half of the Davis establishment. The Jourr mailing department orf the first oor was Gemolished and the few em- ployes who were there at the timie are not yet accounted for. At least a dozen per- Sons are believed to have been at work in Hiller’s bookvindery on the second floor. Some cf those who escaped from the wreck report that they heard the screams of some of the binder girls as they fell and were pinioned in the wreck. The Habbin type foundry on the, third floor and the Journal's stereotyping de- partment on the fifth floor each contributed human victims to the wreck. The mem- bers of the editorial staff, oa the fourth floor, however, 2ll escaped. Many men are scrambling in the bricks and debris, but the fire which is burning underneath | makes it probable that some of the bodies at least will be incinerated. Wm. Livingstone, manager of the Jour- nal, said: “The bo'lers, although used as part of the Journal piant, were not a part of it. In the Journal's lease of its building from the Newberry estate, power was to be furnished, and the power, under the contract, was taken from the Newberry boilers.” The two boilers were looked over cas- ually by an outside eng’neer only Saturday. He says they were each about fourteen "feet long and fifty inches in diameter, and of the tubular pattern. Hand in the Rubbish, About fifteen minutes after the explosion those standing at the east side of the wrecked bu:lding saw a movement in the rubbish. A hand appeared, followed by an arm, and helpers ran to the rescue. A moment later Join M. Vinter, an employe of John Davis’ spice and mustard mills, was dragged out. Arthur D. Lynch, one of the Journal stereotypers, was taken from the ruins con- scious, and is not seriously hurt. Several others were later rescued, with but slight injuries. H. C. Koehlbrand, owner of the Kohl- brand Engraving Company, whose rooms were on the third floor, said at 11 o'clock that two boys, each about sixteen years old, who worked for him, were in the wreck. They are John Bowman and Henry Welsh. Trey were the only persons at work for him today. Those known to be injured thus far are: Cornelius George, foreman Journal mail room; Pressman Webber of the Journal, both legs and arm broken; supposed to be fatally injured; Tom Williams, assistant foreman Journal, struck cn head by steam pipe; not seriously injured. Frank Gme'n- er. artist, seriously cut about head with glass. Miss Annie O'Donoghue, arms broken; taken out unconscious.’ Martin Meyer, advertising solicitor Evening News, badly cut in neck and head. A Girl's Body Removed. At 10:30 the dead bedy of a young girl was taken out. Her name is unknown. A body, supposed to be that of Wm. Dunlap, was dragged out about the same time. Dunlap ran a small machine shop in the building, the business being repairing of type-setting machines. The cause of the explosion is a mystery. Thomas Thompson, the engirecr, came out of the wreck much Injured, His clothes were all torn off and blood was running from a score of cuts. He said he knew no reason for the explosion, and was too ex- cited to talk coherently, The work of dely- ing into the ruins progresses slowly. M. Jacobs, a paper dealer, who had just left the bindery when the explosion oc- curred, says there were fully twenty em- ployes in the bindery. The Evening News finds it impossible to furnish a list of killed and injured, but meanwhile is collecting a lst of those who were in the wrecked part of the buiiding. Five Fatalities Likely. Up to 11:30 three dead bodies had been taken from the ruins, two men and a girl, all unidentified. There are three injured at Emergency Hospital, four at Harper and one at Grace. At least two of the injured will probably die.
