VANDERBILT—FRENCH. Vukloubli Wcddlac at lffwptrt New York Society Attend*. NEWPORT. R. 1., Jan. 15.-Mr. Al fred G wynne Vauderbilt, second son of the late Cornelius Vauderbilt, by tvhose will the young man was made head of his family and heir to a fortune of $44,000,- 000, and Miss Ellen French, youngest daughter of the late Francis O. French, who was a millionaire banker of New York, were married at noon yesterday at /abriskie Memorial church of St. John the Evangelist. As the family of the (.■room is still in mourning for the death of Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt the wedding ceremony was made simple to a degree, while the reception and breakfast which followed were almost as quietly conduct ed as some of the larger luncheons and dinners at Newport in midsummer. But despite an air of simple elegance appar ent in every detail, which, by the way, i\ us as much in accordance with the faste of Miss French as it was desirable to the Vauderbilts, the particularly interested families are so prominent in the social and business worlds and the two ypung people who were united are so well known and so populnr that the event at tracted wide attention and really proved to lie one of the most notable of Newport society weddings. The guests from New York came on by special train placed at their disposal by Mr. Vanderbilt on Saturday and Sunday. Those from Boston, including relatives of Aliss French, arrived at 11 o'clock in the morning and wore driven directly to the church, where they were entertained till the hour of the ceremony by an organ re cital by Mr. William R. Boone, organist of the church. It was a pink and white wedding, this attractive combination of colors having been chosen by the bride to characterize the tloral decorations both at the church and at Harborvlew. Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt shortly after the wedding breakfast had been served left on their honeymoon trip. Their plan for this is a secret to all save themselves. It is known, however, that they will not go abroad and that their tour will be brief, as Mr. Vanderbilt wishes to get buck to his business in connection with the Vanderbilt railroads, in which he bus become deeply interested. Mrs. Vanderbilt received many wedding gifts. Including much linen and lace, sev eral complete outfits of silver and a wealth of diamonds and other precious l>tone«. SIQNEO SUNDAY.

TIMERS IRE VERY INDIGNANT. Insurgents In Their Desperate Tac tics Are Defaming; the City tJovern inent to Help Along Their Cam paign, nnil Loyal Citizens Are Ar rayed Agralnst Them. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Jan. 15. —An attempt is being made to overthrow the Republi can organization in thin city by men who have been identified with the in surgent movement In the state. John Wanamaker is the head and front of one of the most desperate attempts to make political capital out of a cam paign which is ostensibly waged for the suppression of vice. Wanamaker's name has not figured in any of the committee lists, nor does he appear in any of the official publica tions as identified with the movement. But behind the scenes he is revealed as the main spring of the movement, the directing and controlling force, and the aim and purpose of it all is to defeat nominees of the Republican party in this city who will owe their nominations to the support of the stal wart Republican leaders who have for years thwarted John Wanamaker's am bition togo to the United States sen ate. THAT POTTER MEETING. There was a mass meeting held In the Academy of Music last Wednesday night, to which Bishop Potter, of New York, was invited. This distinguished divine has been waging an anti-vice crusade against the Tammany rule in New York, and it was thought by the insurgent political manipulators in this city that if he could be gotten to make an address here people not familiar with the facts would imagine that all manner of wickedness is rampant in Philadelphia. Well, the Bishop Potter meeting was held. While several of the local pro fessional reformers made speeches de faming the city and her officials Bishop Potter was careful not to attempt to substantiate or endorse anything they 6aid. He simply made a speech on general reform work, and in that re spect his remarks were a sore disap pointment to the men back of this latest political move. WANAMAKER'S QUIET WORK. The excitement occasioned by the agitation for this meeting has subsid ed, but Wanamaker and his associates are now perfecting their plans for the campaign which is to be waged against the Republican candidates at the elec tion next month. They cannot succeed, however, as the people aro becoming acquainted with the details of the en tire scheme. They know that Wana maker dined Bishop Potter and after wards sat In a proscenium box watch ing the meeting at the academy work out its mud slinging, unpatriotic pro gram. When the man who had the resolutions calling for the appointment of a committee to engineer the political campaign was requested for an ad vance copy he politely Informed a newspaper man that he could not give him one until he saw Mr. Wanamaker. The Wanamaker newspapers are taking up the crusade, but they are meeting with indignant protests from manufacturers and merchants, who de ny their allegations and say their in fnmous work is doing irreparable harm to the business interests of the city. The consensus of opiuiou of the of ficers of the Christian League Is that the moral and physical condition of the city have never been better than at present, and that the city authori ties are co-operating in every way with the earnest men nnd women who are working for the city's welfare 011 effective if not sensational lines. The Christian League has not hunt ed vice with a brass band, but for five years, week In and week out. Its agents have made personal tours of suspected districts. The Information in the hands of the league Is, therefore, based on fact and not on imagination. Rev. Kerr Boyce Tupper, D. D., pas tor of the First Baptist church. Sev enteenth street, below Chestnut, is to deliver an address at Wllllamsport, Pa., on the evening of Feb. 5, his sub ject being "The Elevation of Our Cities." Dr. Tupper is a keen observer of conditions in Philadelphia, and Is always studied in his expression of opinion. "I have been shocked recently," he said yesterday,"in reading statements, especially in newspapers beyond the limits of our city, respecting municipal conditions among us. "1 am convinced that If all good cit izens would unite hands for the uplift ing of the city to a purer atmosphere we should have less occasion to com plain. Hardly a night In the week goes by that I am not on the street, except Saturday, fulfilling engagements of different kinds, and as I go about lam not Impressed with the lmmorali- 1 ty of our city as others are presenting It at present. I am gratified to know 1 that the testimony of the Christian < League, which body has every opportu- 1 nlty of knowing existing conditions, Is to the effect that It has uever made 1 an appeal to the police or other city •uthorltlea which haa gone unheeded." BU«1UM« m«n are a unit lo declaring that such declarations were not only untrue, but hurtful to the best Interests of the community. The sentiment everywhere was that if the vaporings continued the business interests of the city would be injured. Adam Borshel, president of ths Northwest Business Men's association, said: "I can hardly express my indig nation at such an atrocious insult, hurled at the residents and officials of Philadelphia by Bishop Potter and his followers. What right had they to denounce the city in such virulent terms? At present Philadelphia is in its zenith of business triumph. Never him business been so universally good. Every member of our association, which comprises all the well known business men in this section of the city, are prospering wonderfully. They nearly all speak against Bishop Potter and his crusade. They claim, and I agree with them, that it is the pro fessional class, the doctors and law yers, who are creating such an ado about vice in this city." REPUBLICAN PRIMARY ELECTION The Republican primary elections will be held on Thursday next, and the city and ward conventions will be held on the following day. The stalwart Republicans leaders have for the nom ination of receiver of taxes agreed upon John W. Davidson, a retired man ufacturer and a veteran of the civil war, who served his country valiantly in both the army and the navy from 1861 to 1865. The Wanamaker-David Martin in surgents, with their so-called reform allies, are working up a game in which they hope to make a deal with the Democrats on the local ticket, as they did on their fusion candidates for the legislature. They were not very suc cessful before the people last Novem ber, but they seem determined to try it again. By attacking the Ashbridge adminis tration, the Wanamakerites hope to discredit the Republican organization. They are resorting to misrepresenta tion and abuse similar to their tactics in the state campaigns of the last few years, but they do not seem to realize that the plain people have awakened to their game and are not being fooled. It Takes a Remedy of Un common Merit to Draw the Unqualified Praise of a Successful Practicing Physician. Dr. J. W. Hates of Corfu, N. Y., states : 'A most remarkable case has come under my hands of l«ite and has fully convinced mc of the wonderful power of Dr. A. \V. Chase's Nerve I'ills over diseases of the nerves.
