IFFECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUE DISPATCH.
NEW York, June. 18. According to a
tter rceehed to-day by a gentleman in
lis city from a friend in Port-au-Prince,
le intelligent residents of that distracted
nra believe that President Hippolyte is
ianc His disposition to massacre his
lcmics is not regarded as an indication of
ladncss. It was his queer conduct on May
1, when all the members of the diplomatic
irps at Port-au-Pnnce called on him to
rotet against the "violation of the Mexican
insulate as an asylum of refuge by Hippo-.-te's
savage soldiers.
Tour men, General Souli, M. Bossier,
ecr, Cauvin (formerly Hippolyte's Min
ter of Justice, and his brother) were
ragged from the 3Iexican consulate and
tot to death in the Champ de Mars.
Called to Account by a Consul.
Mr. Tweedy, the Acting British Consul,
dked very sharply to Hippolyte. He de
anded to know why the treaty, which
tade the Mexican Consulate a refuge, had
een violated, and asked what assurance
le Consuls representing the other govern
tents had that their sacred offices would
e free from the invasion of assassins.
Hippolyte became very angry. He shook
i hand at Mr. Tweedy, glared at the other
unguis, including Frederick Douglass,
ho, the latter says, became ashen with
ight, and strode to the door.
"Is this the way," he exclaimed, "to talk
the President of this great country?"
With that, be hurried out, slamming the
ot behind him. The Consuls looked at
ae another in consternation. Presently, J
am an adjoining .room, came the soothing
otes of a flute. Hippolyte had resorted
music to calm his nerves. The Consuls
tened for a moment, and then one of them
lid: "I think -n e had better go."
An Apology From. His Minister.
They were just about going, when Mr,-,
echaud, the Minister of Foreign Affairs,.
ntered and begged them to stay. He apol
sized for the abrupt departure of Hippo
:e, saying that the President has had
inch trouble, andthat it had unsettled him.
Ir Lechaudsaid he would go and bring
ack the President, whose flute was still
raging merrily.
The flute stopped, and in a few minutes
Iippolyte, looking suave, and apologetic,
ntered the room with Mr. Lechaud. He
owed low and said: "1 beg of you not to
o. I merely went out to give an order to
ae commandant."
Now, this Epeech did not have the effect
Iippolyte expected. This was, according
3 the letter writer, amply noticeable in the
ises of Fred Douglass and his Secretary,
t ho looked horribly frightened, thinking
uat the order was for the execution of
verybody in the room. But Hippolyte
oou undeceived Mr. Douglass. He begged
he pardon of all the Consuls forhis brusque
c. The French Consul bowed as
ohtely as Hippolyte and 6aid that the
'resident's apology was acceptable to the
'rench Bepublic.
Bound to Be Opposite to France.
The German Consul, who is said to have a
(anding order to do in an emergency
xactly the opposite to what the French
Consul does, said that the apology of Hi p
olyte was entirely satisfactory to him as a
ierson as a mere private gentleman but
hat as the representative of the German
Empire and the German Emperor he could
ot think of accepting the apology. He
rotested against the rude behavior of the
resident, and would report the insult to
he Emperor of Germany.
Hippolyte got as pale as his complexion
rould permit, and, going over to the German
'onsul, patted him soothingly on the
iack, asking him to please overlook the oo
urence. "I assure you," said Hippolyte, "you
one misunderstood me. Pass it oer this
ime and it shall never occur again. The
evidences of the legations shall be re
pected. No one who flees to them shall be
ouched. I obtained the right for my sol
liers to enter the Mexican Consulate from
'resident Diaz. I telegraphed the situation
o him and he answered, giving me power to
ake tour men from the Consulate."
The letter says that Hippolyte had been
ubject to violent fits of insanity before he
ame prominent in Haitian politics, and
hat he was put in a straight jacket once
our or five years ago. His former Minister
if Foreign Affairs resigned because of the
rratic actions of his chief.
His Assassination a Certainty.
It is said that the black President has
requently fits of crying, which are suc
ecded by explosion of rage. His assassina
lon, the letter writer jays, is looked for
ward tojns a certainty. Notwithstanding
lie wholesale slaughter in the streets of
Port-au-Prince a very few of the leaders of
lie insurrection were killed. Generals
.merrier and Badcre. two of -the most capa-1-
of the reolutionists, were not killed,
first reported. They escaped to the
oods and may be heard from leading a
cne into Port-au-Prince.
Tne letter says that Hippolyte is no
onger President of the people, but of only
hose whose prosperity depends upon his
"e'D, bo he is practically a king jiom .-Xhe
OT DEAD
UT C
people of the North are anxious to get rid
of him.
The writer of this letter evidently does
not admire Minister Douglass. He says
the white population accuse Mr. Douglass
of siding with the Haitian Government in
every instance where American citizens
who have war claims against it have urged
the payment of the claims; in being so ab
sorbed in the contemplation of the experi
ment of black men governing themselves
tha he has forgotten his duties as the repre
sentative of his country; of seeking to
impress the Haitians with his greatness
by publishing in Port-au-Prince a French
translation of his book, "Forty Tears a
Slave," and of having said that if he had
not beenignored in the negotiations for the
possession of Mole St. Nicholas our Gov
ernment would. have acquired it.

rSFECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCS.
BUFFALO, June 18. The Enquirer to
night publishes a special from the staff cor
respondent who interviewed Senator John
G. Carlisle on a train between Lexington
and Louisville. The special says: "I'
asked his opinion as to who would be prom
inent before the Natiqnc Democratic con-
ention, to which he replied:
'"No one can predict who will be the
Democratic nominee for the Presidency in
1892. A great deal will depend upon the
action of New York. Her delegation will,
of course, be very potent in the convention,
and if it comes instructed for a New York
man, the delegates from other States will
either take him or go outside of the State
for a candidate.
"I do not think that the third party will
have much influence upon the result of the
election of 1892. Even if it should deter
mine to nominate a candidate of its own, it
will certainly not carrv any Democratic
State, nor seriously embarrass us in any
Democratic State. If it carries anv State.
or affects the result in any State, it will be
in the Republican Northwest, and the very
most it could accomplish would be to throw
the election of President into the House of
Eepresentatives. In that event a Democrat
would certainly be chosen, as we have con
trol of the delegations in that body from a
large majority of the States."
"In the event of Cleveland's nomination,
would his letter in opposition to the free
coinage of silver militate against him so far
as to endanger the party?" "In regard to
the effect of Mr. Cleveland's letter, it ex
cited considerable icelmg against htm in
some parts of the country, and very consid
erably increased his popularity in some
other parts. "Whether in the end it will prove
advantageous or disadvantageous to him is a
question which no one can decide now."
"There is some talk that Harrison will
not have -much following in his own State in
the next campaign, and the Republican dele
gations will go for Gresham and Blaine.
What do von think about that?"
"I think it almost certain that Harrison
will be renominated. That teems to be
substantiallv a foregone conelnsinn. Mr.
Blaine could probably defeat him in the.
convention.

St. Loins, June 18. Additional particu

Sunday last near the mining city of Catorce,
in the State of San Luis Potosi, Mexico, are
to the effect that the cloud burst on Concep

down the mountain aide, sweeping every
thing in its course. The habitations occu
pied by the miners were swept away, and the
tunnel of Guadaloupe mine filled with
water, drowning several miners who were
working inside.
A number of people living in cliff dwell
ings were buried aliye. At La Cruces and
El Potrero. on one side of the mountain, and
Los Catorce, on the other, 16 dead bodies
have been recovered. The mining com
pany's losses are heavy. Large quantities of
high-grade metal were carried away by the
flood at the Concepcion property. Hun

"What the Defense In the King Murder Trial
Seek to Fro o.
Memphis, June 18. The defense in the
King murder trial is making a strenuous
effort to establish insanity, and it is thought
has proved that the defendant whether at
tributable to drink or other causes was not
in his right mind, and irresponsible for the
killing of David Boston.
Dr. T. J. Brooks, of Paducah, Ky., whom
King visited when returning from Chicago,
testified that Colonel King refused to oc
cupy alone a room placed at his disposal
while there. Dr. D. S. Drake, a physician,
of Marianna, Ark., testified to having
treated Colonel King for mental troubles in
1888. State Senator Galloway, of Memphis,
considered defendant's mental condition ab
normal. A NEW GATE TO GTJABD.

A Description or the Strange Craft "Which,

CiNCifcNATi, June 18. The airship which
is being constructed by the Crawford
Electric Company for the Universal Aerial
Navigation Company will be completed in
a few days. It will be given a trial trip at
the old ball park, foot of Bank street, June
27, at 4 o'clock.
J. C. Bandall, the inventor, is only 24
years of age, but well informed on aero
nautics, besides bejng a very clever me
chanic His invention is the result of many
years' studv, and judging from the experi
ments with'the model, he has every reason
to believe in its practicability. Mr. Ban
dall claims that his machine is differ
ent from any ever built, and, like
most inventors, has but little laith
in all other ships, especially the
Pennington patent. In appearance it is
much the same as a miniature full-rigged
ship. The main part is a boat about 20 leet
long, which will float the entire apparatus
in case it should be necessary to descend on
water. From the boat arises a vast amount
of framfi work, which suiroorts the pro
pelling shafts, and to this frame work is at- I
tachea a cigar-shaped balloon about 50 feet J
long having a capacity of 8,000 cubic feet.
Pure hydrogen gas will be used so as to
obtain the greatest lifting power and reduce
the bulk to a minimum. The propellers,
which are hung on shafts extending out on
each side, are by far the most complicated
parts of the whole machine, and it is here
that Mr. Bandall has shown his inventive
genius as they can be so operated as to direct
the propulsion to any desired pointy The
power for workine this eearing is ob
tained from a one-horse-nower Cards motor,
which is located in the hull of the boat, to
gether with 16 Edison storage batteries for
running same. The weight of the ship is
350 pounds, and as the lifting power of the
baloon is 500 pounds, 150 pounds are allowed
for the man who operates the ship. The
Bpeed has been calculated at about 10 or 15
miles an hour in quiet air and proportion
ately less according to the velocity of the
wind.

CONFIDENT OF
tBT CABLE TO THE MSPATCn.J
London, June 18. Bumors have been
current of lato that Mr. Punelliand Mrs.
O'Shea were soon to be married. The Dis
patch correspondent sought Mr. Parnell
to-day for the purpose of obtaining an
authoritative statement on this interesting
subject. ,
The Irish statesman was learned to have
been at the House of Commons from noon
to 4 o'clock-on business connected with a
private bill for one of his Cork constitu-'
ents, but, as usual, his disappearance after
leaving the House 'was so sudden and unob
served that it was difficult to trace hisi
whereabouts.
Not In Sackcloth and Ashes.
The correspondent succeeded, however,
after a long search, in locating the object of
his pursuit. Mr. Parnell was found seated
on a pleasant terrace overlooking the river
and surrounded by a gay group of ladles-7-H
his guests.
The table around which the party was
disposed was loaded with delicacies appro-
j priate to the hot weather and the scene
spread out along the waterside was a bright
and attractive one. Mr. Parnell seemed to
be enjoying himself thoroughly and lis
looksa indicated that he was in excellent
health. He is more robust and more active
than for years past.
He granted a few moments' interview
with the correspondent, stepping aside to
talk in private. "When interrogated as to
rumors of his approaching marriage, he be
trayed some annoyance at the circulation of
such reports, and assured his visitor that
.they were utterly untrue.
A Bumor Without Any Foundation.
He did not wish to discuss the matter any
further than to say that so far as the state
ment that he was to marry Mrs. O'Shea
soon was concerned it was without an atom
of foundation. To the intimation that this
left the question as to his remoter inten
tions still open, Mr. Parnell made no reply,
but diplomatically and courteously changed
the subject of the conversation to one less
personal.
He stated in the course of the interview'
that he was confident of success in the com
'ing election in County Gal way to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of O'Gorman
Mahon, and that the general outlook for
Ireland was improving in every respect.

on the danger that Premier Abbott may un

London. Juno 18. This was the second
in her suit against "William Henry Hurl-
Dun.
Counsel for Miss Evelvn resnmed his ar
gument by reading entries from plaintiff's
diary In regard to the indecent
letters which she claims to have
received from Mr. Hnrlburt, but
which, it was said, were in the
handwriting of a person called "Wilfred
Murray. According to Miss Evelyn's coun
sel there was not a shadow of evidence to
show that "Wilfred Murray really existed.
The Attorney General, Sir Kichard "Web
ster, on behalf of Mr. Hurlburt said the
most deliberate perjury had been proved
against Miss Evelyn in regard to the rela
tions which existed between herself and
both Mr. Hurlburt and Jackson. TheJudge
who presided at the trial of the suit, con
tinnedthe Attorney General, dwelt upon
the point of her perjury, and the jury were
unanimous that no promise of marriage had
ever been made.
Bt. Hon. Edward Ebenezer Kay, one of
the Lord Justices of Her Majesty's Court of
Appeals, here asked to see one of the in
decent letters referred to, in order to com
pare its handwriting with that of one which
was acknowledged to have been written by
Mr. Hurlburt. A letter from the indecent
lot was then handed up to the bench, and
Sir Bichard "Webster, continuing, said:
"I asked that poor old man"
Lord Esher, Master of the Bolls, here in
terrupted, asking sharply: ""What old
man?"
"Why' replied Sir Bichard calmly,
Mr. Huriburt is between 65 and 70 years of
age. "When he was asked if he had ever
written a lteter of such a character to any
woman, he replied 'Never,' and no one who
knows Mr. Hurlburt would believe that he
could write such filth."
Sir Bichard proposed to read the letters
which "that woman had sent to Mrs. Hurl
burt," but Miss Evelyn indignantly pro
tested that she had never written to Mrs.
Hurlburt in her life.
A CAVALRYMAN IN TROUBLE
Mistaken Identity Nearly Canses the Escape
of Embezzler Bolt.
Berlin, June 18. True "W. Hoit, alias
E. T. Shaw, the passenger on the steamer
Normannia who was arrested at Cuxhaven
upon the arrival of the steamer at that port
Saturday last, is still held in custody pend
ing the arrival of the proper requisition
papers. Hoit was taken into custody on
the charge of larceny preferred against him
by the YVelsbach Incandescent Gaslight
Company, of Philadelphia. Owing to a
case of mistaken identity Hoit nearly
escaped arrest at Cuxhaven, as he had pre
viously escaped capture when the Norman
nia touched at Southampton.
The English police, in their communica
tions to the German police, asking for
Hoit s arrest, naturally sent them a good
description of the man wanted. This de
scription, however, answered pretty weU to
that of an officer of the Fifth United States
Cavalry, who was also a passenger on board
the Normannia. The result was that as the
German detectives first caught sieht of the
"cavalryman they promptly placed him un
der arrest. The officer referred to protested
most vigorously, and finally was able, br
uie pruuucuon 01 papers wnicn lie carried,
to convince the1 detectives that he was not
the alleged embezzler. Hoit was eventuallyJ
iounu among tne passengers.

GEATE FLAWS IN TIIE INSURANCE ACT
rSrtCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DlSPATCII.l
Habrisbubo, June 18. Governor Patti
son has yet to finally consider 40 appropria
tion bills which call for amounts aggregat
ing f 1,971,000. Thus far he has approved
bills making appropriations amounting to
about 518,600,000, of which over 813,730,000
were embraced in the general appropriation
bill. According to the recent statement of
Auditor General McCamant, submitted to
the Governor in response to the request of
the latter, the revenues of the State for the
next two years were estimated at 816,580,000.
As there was then in the general fund
82,527,000, 5330,000 of which was applicable
to the payment of appropriations due char
itable institutions, judicial salaries, etc.,
thefund that could oe devoted to the pay
ment ot demands on the treasury aggregated
818,757,000. The bills already signed by
the Governor provide for an expenditure
witnm 5irt,ouo ot the anticipated revenues
for the next two years and the available
moneys in the general fund.
Getting Pretty Close to the Limit.
If this estimate should prove correct
there would be only 8157,000 with which to
meet the appropriation contained in the 40
unsigned bills. It is highly probable that
the State will derive revenue from sources
not touched on by the Auditor General,
who was careful not to include in his com
putation anything of a doubtful nature.
Litigation promises to swell the coffers of
the treasury to a material extent, and for
this reason a large portion of the amount
represented in the appropriation bills to be
acted on by the Governor will probably be
allowed.
These bills ask for the payment of the
following amounts to the institutions and
objects indicated:
For the erection of a building for the
chronic insane, iSCOfiCO; for care and treat
ment of Indigent insane at County Alms

Other Important Measures at Stake.
Among the other bills which have not re
ceived final consideration are those relating
to a ballot reform, constitutional conven
tion, Judicial, Bepresentative and Congres
sional apportionment, and the following: '
Relating to public wharves in cities, au
thorizing their conversion into parks, and
bill to use wharves for market purposes; re
lating to street passenger railway com
panies, providing for sale or lease of the
property ana irancnises to motor power
companies, and for contracting for the con
struction of motors, cables, electric appar
atus and appliances and for the validation
of sales, lots and contracts heretofoie made:
providing for the assessment of an annual
poor tax on unnaturalized for
eigners; prohibiting the arrest of
drivers on street cars before their

porter; providing for the distribution of un

50 cents a visit required under the Brooks
high-license law; authorizing applicants for

men anywhere within the proper county:
emnowerine street railway companies to

and parents the right of possession of bodies
of deceased husbands, wives and children;
providing for a uniform armory rent of $200
a year; providing for separate Orphans'
court in .Lancaster county.
Three More Tetoes Announced.
TheTGovernor disapproved three more
measures to-day, including the compulsory
education bill, of vhich he says:
I am of the opinion that the essential con
ditions are not to be found in the bill under
review, and 1 do not believe that the plan
proposed will promote the public weltare,
it compels an parents ana guaraians to send
their children or wards, between 8 and 12
years of age, to sohool, except "mental or
physical conditions or other urgent reasons"
excuse. What are "urgent reasons" must be
determined by the diuerent school boards,
and it can easily be foreseen that
the interpretation of these im
portant qualifying words will vary
widely in different communities
and indifferent school boards. This is an
uncertainty which should not exist in so Im
portant a law. Moreover, the act makes no
allowance or provision for the numerous
class of persons who may see lit to educate
their children in their own homes, which is
certainly not an evil nor an occasion for
sound cibjeotion. A bill whioh will inflict
penalties on these citizens is highly objec
tionable whatever other merits it may
possess. The plan by which this bill pro
poses to enforce compulsory education is
cumbersome and vexatious, and may, in the
end, entail enormous expense upon the
school districts of tho Commonwealth.
The seoond hill vetoed is entitled "An
act to nrevent decention in the manufacture
and sale of articles of gilded ware and pro
viding penalties for the violation thereof."
Of this the Governor says:
It would undoubtedly be a most desirablo
consummation If by some species of legisla
tion the public could bo protected from all
tricks ol trade, but it Is in most cases im
practicable to go further in this direction
than to provide, as existing laws do provide,
that every person shall have cause for a
civil action against anyone who sells him or
her goods purported to be what they are not,
nhd that a criminal action will lie against all
persons who may obtain monoy by false pre
tenses. An Act That Never Passed,
The other veto is of an act to amend the
tenth section of an act entitled, "An act to
establish nu Insurance Department," ap
proved April 4, 1873, requiring insurance
companies or associations not incorporated
under the laws of this State to pay to the
firemen's relief associations organized in the
cities, boroughs and townships an annual
bonus on premiums on the insurance effected
within the limits of such cities, boroughs
and townships and regulating the collection
thereof. In vetoing this bill the Governor
savs:

A KILKENNY FIGHT.
V
rOUK MES HAVE A MORTAL BATTLE,
EACH FOB HIMSELF.
In Five Minutes Three Are Killed, and
Then the Solitary "Victor, Crazed by
"Wounds, Slaughters Himself A Town
In Jamaica "Was the Scene.
New York, June 18. The steamship
South Portland, of the "Wessels line, ar
rived from Jamaica ports this afternoon.
Chief Mate J. B. Iowall told the following
tale:
On the afternoon of June 12 the Portland
touched at Port Marie. Mate Bowell was
sent on shore to get the mails. On his war
to the postoffice he came across a crowd of
blacks on the village green. There must
have been at least C00 of them, and when
Mr. Lowell inquired what the row was
about they informed him that a battle royal
was just about to begin".
Pour coolies, all natives of the town, had
become involved in a sort of Montague
Capnlet controversy, and each of them had
arrived at the conclusion .that Port Marie
and this planet generally was altogether too
good a place to harbor the other three any
longer. So they had mutually decided to
fight to the death. In the center of the
green an inclosure hod been roped off, and
inside of it, at each corner, stood one of the
four contestants. They were stripped to
the waist, and each man grasped in his right
hand a knife with a blade seven inches
long.
1 or a moment the men stood glaring at
each other. Then the word was given and
the,fight began. It was a case of every man
for himself with a vengeance. In five min
utes it was all over. When the police ar
rived upon the scene three bodies, hacked
almost beyond recognition, lay inside the
ropes. The fourth man was so crazed by his
wounds "that before the police could lay
hands on him he drove his own knifo
through his heart.
THE CLOVER CLUB BANQUETTED.
A Night of Jolly Festivity and Uproarious
Fun In the Windy City.
Chicago, June 18. The famous Clover
Club of Philadelphia, whose guests never
forget its mingled excruciations and de
lights, was a guest itself to-night.
The celebrated organization was ban-
quetted at Kinsle's by the newly-formed
similar body of festive Chicagoans known
as the Fellowship Club. Over 100 members
of the two bands of entertaining torturers
were present, with a number of distin
guished guests, and the gathering promptly
set out to break the record for the kind of
fun that has made the Clover Club cele
brated. Henry "Watterson, of the Louisville
Courier-Journal; Mayor "Washburne, of Chi
cago, and Sol Smith Bussell, the actor, had
at midnight accomplished the feat of finish
ing their speeches, and other well-known
gentlemen were being singled out to run the
gauntlet of the 100 merciless fun-makers.
Among those present were General Felix
Agnus, publisher of the Baltimore American;
George w. Boyd, of the Pennsylvania Bail
road; Governor "W. D. Hoard, of "Wiscon
sin; Ex-Senator Palmer, of Miohigan; Opie
P. Eced, General Nelson A. Miles and
George R. Davis, Director General of the

"Washington, Jnne 18. At least one
person in "Washington will not receive with
unalloyed pleasure the news of the marriage
of General Schofield and Miss Kilbourne
in Iowa to-day. For several years the
General has been paying assiduous atten
tion to one of the most prominent and
accomplished of the many estimable ladies
who are here in department life, and among
the friends of this lady it was looked upon
as a foregone conclusion that she would at
no distant day be the bride of the command
ing general of the army of the United
States.
It is not alleged that there was a positive
betrothal, but closest friends of the lady
assert that she felt she hadthe fullest right
to look upon herself as "engaged" to the
General. However this may be, the an
nouncement some days since ot the approach
ing marriage of General Schofield and Miss
Kilbourne brought grief and prostration to
the lady in question and her friends say she
will never recover from the Mow given by
the fickleness of the elderlv beau. The
affair is not
extensivelv known here, but
.... r- ..--
wiimn a little circle ot the lady s and Gen
eral Schofield's friends it has for the past
week or two been discussed with much
warmth, and often in a way not wholly
complimentary to the doughty bridegroom.
Wedded In a Bower of Hose.
A dispatch from Keokuk says: As pre
viously announced the marriage of John M.
Schofield, Commander in Chief of the Army
of the United States, to Miss Georgia Kil
bourne, of this city, was solemnized at St.
John's Episcopal Church here at high noon
to-day, the officiating clergyman being E.
C. Mclllwaine, the rector of the church.
Only the intimate friends and relatives of
the contracting parties witnessed the cere
mony, which was performed according to
the beautiful Episcopal ritual. Over 2,000
roses were used in the decoration of the
church.
The General and staff were in full uniform.
The bride wore a superb costume of white
corded silk with demi-train. Louis Quinze

of mousseline de sole. A beautiful white
bonnet trimmed with duchesse lace crowned
the costume. Her hands were encased in
white gloves and she carried a silver prayer
book.
"Wagner's bridal march, "Lohengrin,"
was played. Mrs. Kilbourne, mother of the
bride, gava her away. At precisely 12
o'clock tho prelate, B. C Ilwaine, pro
nounced them man and wife. Bt. Bev.
Bishop Perry, of the Diocese of Iowa,
assisted in the ceremony.
A Select and Fashionable Audience.
The audience was probably the most ex
clusive and fashionable ever in attendance
at a wedding west of the Mississippi river.
The prominent persons in attendance from
abroad included General Schofield's sister,
Mrs. "Wise; Mrs. Caroline "Wise, Mrs. Ed
ward Kilbourne and her daughter, Jennie
Colin, and Edith "Williams Fyffe, of Chi
cago; Captain C. 3. Schofield, of "Washing

of the General; Mrs. C. J. Ball, St. Louis;
George H. Deval, Kansas City; "W. B. Poe,
John Squires and B. F. Bradford, of St.
Louis.
A wedding breakfast was partaken of at
the home of Mrs. George E. Kilbourne,
which was as free from ostentation as the
preceding portion of the ceremonies. From
12:30 to 2:30 this afternoon those holding
invitations were received at the family
residence.
Shaking Hands With Old Comrades.
Promptly at 2:45 Company A, Second
Begimcnt, L K. G., and Curtis Camp, Sons
of Veterans, preceded by a band, escorted
General Schofield to the Hotel Keokuk,
where a public reception was held. The
General had expressed a desire to meet his
old comrades in this city, many of whom
were in his brigade during the war. A re
ception was given under the auspices of
Torrence Post, G. A. B., and everybody
was invited.
The pleasing feature of the occasion was
a special invitation to the school children
and young people, extended by the General
to come shake hands with him. From 400
to 500 children, each carrying a small flag,
were presented, in addition to the veterans
and citizens. The bride and groom were de
termined not to exhibit the presents they
received to the public at present They
were numerous and costly. Late this after
noon General Schofield and his bride, to
gether with Lieutenants Andrews and Bliss,
left in a special car for Sun Francisco and
other "Western points. "When the bride ap
peared attired for the wedding journey she
wore a plain traveling costume of blue
flannel and a hat of black chip trimmed
with velvet and thistles.
