Minister Weckherlin and the Holland Society Congratulate Their Queen—Notes, The marriage yesterday at the Philadel- phia Episcopal Hospital of Miss Margaret Olivia Millar of Wyoming, Ohio, to Ensign Wilfred Van Vest Powelson, United States navy, is the last act in a pretty little ro- mance, which has made very interesting reading lately. The engagement of the young couple dates back to last spring at Old Point Comfort, where they first met. The wedding was to have taken place at the bride's home late this fall, but after the accident which befel Ensign Powe’son last week a change of plans was quickly decided upon. Ensign Poweison, after going through the Santiago campaign, had the misfortune to fall down a hatchway on the St. Paul and break his leg, and has since been in the hospital, where, after Miss Millar's arrival, it was soon guessed an immediate marriage was contemplated. Rev. David H. Lovejoy performed the cer- emony and Capt. Sigsbee gave the bride away. The groom's parents, District At- terney and Mrs. Powelson ‘of Middleton, ¥., the bride’s brother and a few friends were the only persons in the sick room during the ceremony. The fair young bride is firm in the belief of her husband's full recovery, although surgeons shake their heads and express the fear that the injury to his spine will make him a cripple for life. Mrs. Powelson is the sister also of Lieut. Edward A. Millar of Gen. Williston's staff. He is now stationed at Montauk Point, and was expected at the wedding yesterday, but was unable to be there. A reception was held yesterday afternoon at the Everett House, New York, in honor cf Queen Wilhelmina, at which the minis- ter from Holland, Mr. de Weckherlin, was the central figure. The ninety members cf the Netherland Society were invited thiougn the president, A. C. H. Nyland, and the secretary, W. Van der Hoeven. The rooms were decorated with the Hol- land and Anerican flags. A congratulatory cable dispatch telling of the affair was sent to the young queen. Next Saturday night the same society will give a dinner in honor of the queen's ascension to the throne. The dinner will be given at the rooms of the society, No. 40 Union square. Count von Goetzen, military attache to the German embassy at Washington, and Countess yon Goetzen, who have been at Sea Girt since the former's return from Santiago, are now in New York. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary cf state for the colonies, accompanied by hi wife, formerly Miss Endicott, sailed yes! day for this country and will remain sev- eral weeks with Mrs. Chamberlain's par- ents, Ex-Secretary of War and Mrs. Endi- Miss M. Louise Wimsatt of this city was bridesmaid yesterday at the marriage in the Baltimore Cathedral of her cousin, Mi: Cleary of Roland Park and Mr. H.W. Wat- kins.” The bride wore silver brocaded silk, and her maid of honor wore blue figured organdie over blue silk and a large Gains- borough hat of white chiffon and blue satin straw. The bridesmaids wore yellow, with picture hats in the same color. Mrs. J. H. McChesney has gone for a two months’ visit to her sister, Mrs. Milo Quackenbush, in Pennsylvania. Miss Mable Spear and Miss Minnie Wier, who hav2 been visiting Mrs. Stewart at Brightwood, have returned to their home in Bridgeport, Conn., after a very pleasant visit. Rev. J. R. Bicknell of Pensacola, Fla., is visiting his sister and mother at 1329 Cor- coran street. Miss Celia Sullivan left yesterday for a visit to friends in Berryville, Va. Mr. James L. Norris arrived home late last night after a very pleasant sojourn at Saratoga Springs. He also spent a few days with Rey. Byron Sunderland, near the tewn of Catskill, N. ¥., who is making his home there with his daughter, Mrs. Orrin Day. The doctor will return to thts city to- morrow morning and be Mr. Norris’ guest for some time. He is in excellent health and spirits. Mr. and Mrs. William C. Rubenacker, with their daughter Mabel, were in Paris last week on their way to London. A number of Washingtonians who are summ:2ring at Markham, Va., enjoyed a straw ride to the Shenandoah river last Saturday. In the party were the Misses Florence and Edna Meriitt, Jones, Ro! son, J. Bolen, Smith, Beulah and Tessie Bolen, Johnson and Cook, and Messrs. Bo- Ion, Jackson, Harry and Ed. Jonés, Ander- sen, Strother, Cross and Slater. Mrs. Barton D. Jones has returned from Atlantic City, and will spend the month of eptember in the mountains in Pennsylva- nia.

Miss Louise Kostka of Capitol Hill has gone to Baltimor> and New York, and will return about the 19th of September. eenegae es AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN, Death of a Patrol Horse—Dr. Alex- ander’s Return—Personal. Poor old Sam, the faithful patrol horse of the seventh precinct, will never draw the wagon ogain on its hurry up calls. His death occurred today, after much suffer- ing. Some time ago, while in the stable, the horse was caught in his halter in such a@ way as to produce paralysis. ‘This morn- ing he was placed in the lot adjoining the station, and during the forenoon the poor beast was left lying in the sun, the ground being soaked with perspiration from his body. No ome in the station would shoot the horse because he was in the hands of a veterinary surgeon. For the past five years the horse has pulled the wagon of the Georgetown precinct, and he was re- garded as one of the best horses in the service. The family of Rey. W. C. Alexander, D.D., pastor of the West Street Presby- terlan Church, has returned to the city, but his vacation will not end before next week. The evening services during his ab- sence have been conducted by the elder- ship. The organist, Mr. Stitt, and the pre- centor, Prof. Hunter, have been faithful in their attendance. The recently elected elder, Capt. J. E. Hanger, is expected to take charge of the midweek service to- night. Elder Joseph Williamson, who is believed to be the senior of the eldership, is but slightly improved since his recent stroke of paralysis. Arrangements will shortly be made for treatment to restore his voice by the use of electricity. Miss Gertrude Thompson of 1707 34th street has ret from a visit to rela- tives in Baltimore. __ A company of Endeavorers from the Gar- den Memorial Church visited the Tenley- town Baptist Church Tuesday evening and held service.

It is probable that the Ohio Volunteer Infantry will be ordered mustered out tq a few days. The regiment is now at Fer- nandina, Fla. Quite a controversy haq arisen in regard to the disposition of the regiment, the officers desiring to remain in the service, while the men want to ga home. The men have asked for their dis« charge, not in a body, but individually, and it is probable that the regiment will be mustered out as a whole. All the officers and troops of the organi- zations named above who served in the Cuban or Porto Rican campaigns will be furloughed for sixty days with pay before being actually mustered out. The troops which did not leave the United States will be furloughed for one month with pay be- fore being mustered out. — FOR SMOKELESS POWDER. Bids for Supplying One MULL Pounds to Be Opened Saturday. The Navy Department will open bids Sat. urday for one million pounds of smokelesg powder for the use of the navy. The Span- ish war clearly demonstrated the merits of this powder, and department has ar- ranged to have a good supply on hand for future use. The present order is the larg est one yet issued. The new powder will be used in magazines of ships now provided with the brown powder. As there is no real compe- tition in the manufacture of smokeless pow- der, it is not expected that the navy can get its supply for less than $1 a pound, the rate paid for the powder by the army for the new small arm and for the light-caliber guns of the coast defenses. The govern- ment factory at Newport puts out about 2,500 pounds of smokeless powder daily, and a second powder factory will be estab- lished on the banks of the Potomac neat Indian Head, Md., in about @ year. ———_—__+ 2. ASLEEP IN A BOX CAR. filling Four Boys Gathered in by the Police Last Night. Four colored boys riding in a box ear came over from Baltimore dast night and, unfortunately for them, they were fast asleep when the train stopped. Special Policeman Parrott made the rounds of the New Jersey avenue freight yards soon after the arrival of the train, and the boys were discovered and transferred to a pa- trol wagon. It was 2 o'clock in the morn- ing when they reached the police station and registered as Gus Douglass, Walter Jackson, William Brooks and Daniel Scott. “Guilty,” they pleaded, one after another, when arraigned before Judge Kimball as vagrants. Gus Douglass, the largest boy in the party, admitted that he had a loaded pistol on him when arrested. It was Judge Kimball's idea that the boys were strangers in this section, and when the first one interrogated said he had come from Wilmington the judge came to the conclusion the boys had been on an outing at the expense of others. “Where is your home?” Douglass was asked. “Anacostia,” was his answer. you know anybody over there?” sir; I know Miss Carrie Kelly and ver mind about Miss said thi judge. “I want you to tell me the names of some men.’ “Well, I know Tom Anderson and — “Who's the sergeant of police over there?” interrupted the court. “Tom Anderson is,” was his quick re- sponse. Douglass admitted that he had a loaded weapon on him und claimed he bought it in Baltimore. His story was thot he went to Wilming- ton looking for work, but did not succeed. The court took the personal bonds of the boys in the vagrancy case, and three of them were released. Douglass was held for sixty days for having the weapon on him. me DIED. CAMPBELL.
