Conner, formerly a silver j miner, and now a wealthy ranch owner! of Pagoso Springs. Col., and Mrs. Kate; E. Parker, of 1306 North Sixty-first j street, of this city. The ceremony took place at the home of the Rev. P. K. 1 Bierbauer, 1403 Courtland street. They j were boy and girl sweethearts in Gi-: rardville, Schuylkill county, Pa., but | lost track of each other when Mr. Con ner went West 40 years ago. Both married. Mr. Conner's first wife died three j years ago. and last summer he again met the sweetheart of his boyhood, who ' for 20 years has been a widow. He is 62 years old, and has two sons. Fol lowing the wedding a reception was, held at the home of one of the sons, i Frank H. Conner, Jr., of Sixteenth i street and Columbia avenue. Masons Hold Annual Election | The following officers were elected i at the annual meeting of Perseverance; lv| I men occasionally get in a full week's 1 work. ! Since the strike of 1892 the various! mills have b'>en operated under an agreement. This has been one-sided, as ! : the company will not deal with com mittees and the men accepted whatever j they were offered. Two years ago the i companies gave their employes a volun- ; I tary increase and, although the agree ment declares notice shall be given by ! , both sides before any change in scale lis made, the company has not given I the required notice. Ninety per cent, of the 10,000 em ; uloves in the Homestead Steel Works, i Carrie Furnaces, Howard Axle Works arid Schoen Steel Car Wheel Works, it is claimed, are satisfied with the pres ! ent agreement. The workmen say they j realize the conditions are such that the companies cannot operate their plants ; fully, anil that in the absence of any ! cut they feel they are being treated j ' fairly. The operation of the plants on I >-hort time was devised to give all men j : some work, while the policy of re | trenchment was being carried out. j To Reclassify Passenger Crews Notices of a reclassification of the; passenger crews of the Middle division I which will go into effect on January |l have been posted in the Harrisburgi I and Altoona offices of the Pennsylvania | Railroad Company.

Brooke Moore, passenger train master of the Middle division. The re classification will be made according to seniority in service. Trainmen have \ been requested to send in their prefer-1 ences. There will be no increase or de-1 crease in the number of train crews.

He took Dr. Cary T. Grayson, his physician, with him. and several of the secret service guards of the White House staff followed in their wake. The President and Dr. Grayson left the White Housp in a big limousine I adorned with the official crest of the 1 President of the United States. After making some purchases at a shop which specializes in rare books, the President re entered the car and was taken down P street. Washington's principal shop ping thoroughfare. More purchases were made at two jewelry stores and a book store. The President spent some time in a large department store, where he was recognized by many of the shoppers. The pla e was crowded, but nobody bothered the President or showed any offensive curiosity as to his purchases. One woman, who appeared to know him, shook hands with -Mr. Wiison and talk ed with him for a moment. The President was in excellent spir its. The shopping tour kept him away , from the White House for two hours.

Although John Smith, colored, of Knoxvillc, Tenn., told Detectives Kmanuel ami Geonnetti that he shot and killed MrS. Marget Davis, 1717 Addison street, on Tuesday night, fearing somebody was trying to break into his room and rob him, they believe he is a fugitive froi|i justice and tired the shots apprehending he was about to be arrested for another murder. They say his description tallies with that of John Smith, also known as "Money" Smith, who is wanted at Co lumbus, ().. to answer a charge of shoot ing and killing Policeman John Btillnrd in that city on November 6, last. The lebtel'from the Columbus police warned the police here to be careful in attempt ing to capture Smith, as he was known as a ''bad man with a gun," who had been mixed up in shooting affrays in Tennessee. Smith was committed by Magistrate Hens haw in the City Hall police court, for his appearance before the Coroner on the charge of murder. Best for Kidneys—Says Doctor Dr. J. It. T.
