fILIX THE CZfiR'S BRIDE Superb Wedding Ceremony in Russia's Capital. With Imperial Splendor the Young Couple Were Married Before Kings, Prinee.s and Dukes la the Marble Winter Palace at St. Petersburg- Scenes and Details. St. Petersburg, Nov. 27.—T0 the thunder of great cannon, the strains of a thousand bands and surrounded by a glitter of precious jewels, cloth of gold, gorgeous uniforms, worn by all tho princes of Europe, and hun dreds of superbly gowned noblewomen. Princess Alix of Hesse-Darmstadt became the bride of the Romanoff. Czar, Nicholas 11. The ceremony was performed by the Metropolitan of St. Petersburg, and all the dignitaries of the Greek Church, in the famous white marble palace. From the Anitchkcff palace, Nicho las and his suite, the Prince of Wales, the grand duke Serglus, the King of Denmark and King George of Greece, arrived at the winter palace at ten o'clock. Two hundred guns from the fortress of St. Peter and Paul across the river Neva, boomed their Welcome. A whole army corps of troops under Duke Serge filled the streets, and mili tary bands all over the city took up the national anthem, the music swell ing until it floated in a great volume over the whole. An hour later Princess Alix, at tended by the Princess of Wales, the Czarina, the Princess Henry of Prus sia, the Duchess of Wurtemburg, the Grand Duchess Xenia and a suite of two hundred noblewomen entered tho palace. A magnificent procession then formed, in which every court of Eu rope was represented, and filed slow ly through the palace to the cathedral When the procession reached the cathedral, at the extreme end of the Alexander Platz, it was met at the en trance by the Metropolitan of St. Petersburg, the Holy Synod and the court clergy bearing crosses, holy water and the sacred books. The Metropolitan conducted the Czar to a position upon a dais which had been placed in the centre of the chan cel behind the rail. As the Emperor took his place at tho right of the dais the Czarina led the Princess Alix to him and placed her at his left hand. The Czarina then took her place in the chancel at the right of the dais, and the marriage service in use in the orthodox church was begun. The ceremony was of the most im pressive character and lusted nearly two hours. After the Psalm the Met ropolitan said a few words of instruc tion and turned to the Czar and said: "Hast thou, Nicholas, a good and unconstrained will and a firm deter mination to take unto thyself this woman ,Allx, whom here thou seest before thee?" To this the Czar answered: "I have, reverend father." The Metropolitan then asked: "Thou hnst not vowed thyself to another bride?" The Czar answered: "I have not vow ed myself, reverend father." The same questions were asked of Princess Alix with similar answers. After prayer the Metropolitan took two crowns, placing the first one on the head of the Czar, saying: "The servant of God, Nicholas, is crowned for the handmaid of God, Alix, in the name of tho Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost." Plaoing the crown upon the head of the bride, he said: "The handmaid of God, Alix, is crowned for the servant of God, Nich olas, in tho name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost." The prelate then blessed the couple three times. After anthems and pray ers tho common cup was brought and blessed. The cup was filled and handed first to the Czar, and then to the Princess, each taking a sip of wine. The Metropolitan then took the couple by the hand, the groomsman and bridesmaids walking behind and holding the crowns over their heads, and led them throe times around the dais, the choir meanwhile singing a troparion. The prelate then took the crown from the Czar, saying: "Be thou magnified, O bridegroom, as Abraham, and blessed as Isaac, and increased as Jacob, walking in peace and performing In righteousness the commandments of God." Taking the crown from Princess Alix, he said: "And thou, O bride, be thou magni fied as Sara, and rejoiced as Rebecca, and increased as Rachel, being glad in thy husband, and keeping the paths of the law, for God is well pleased." The Czar then kissed the bride and the guests came forward to congratu late the couple. At the conclusion of the congratulations the dismissal was pronounced and the bride and bride groom and the wedding guests return ed to the Winter palace. As the procession entered Field Mar shal hall there were cries of "Long live Emperor Nicholas." Howgate's Trial Hogun. Washington, Nov. 27.—The trial of the famous embezzler, Capt.

ONE MORE BANK ROBBED Clerk Morgan Steals Thirty Thousand Dollars. The Bank of the Republic Victim- But Wealthy Relatives Have Refunded the Amount Stolen— Swindler Baker Obtained Barge Policies Before Killing Hi llisclf. New York, Nov. 27.—The case of another bank being robbed by a dishon est clerk has been made known. The victim is the Hank of the Republic, at No. 2 Wall street, which the report stated, had lost some $30,000. The thief is D. E. Morgan, a clerk, whose home is in Brooklyn. He drove fast horses, spent money lavishly and lived in a style far above his position. 21 is peculations were car ried on during the summer months. When the shortage was discovered his parents came to his assistance and made good the loss, and the young man was discharged from the bank. Vice-President E. H. Pullen, of the Bank of the Republic, acknowledged that the bank had been victimized by one of its employees. Morgan was the discount and cou pon clerk, and had been in the em ploy of the bank only about a year. An old employee had been displaced to make room for him under the policy of getting younger men for the bank. He is about thirty-five years old. This makes the third bank defalca tion within little more than a week. None of the three robbers have been punished. One of them, Seely, of the Shoe and Leather bank, is missing; another, John It. Tait, who stole from the Chemical bank, has gone scott free, and the third, E. D. Morgan, is also free. By far the most Important develop ment in the disclosures relating to the looting "f the Shoe and Leather bank was the fact that Frederick Baker had as recently ago as Oct. 4 taken out two SIO,OOO life insurance policies with the Equitable Life Insurance Co. The policies were what are known as in contestable policies. An additional premium of SIOO each was paid upon them to make them incontestable. In case of suicide a policy of this kind is not vitiated. Ordinary policies are cancelled if their holders commit sul fide- within the first year after they are issued. These two policies Baker made payable to his wife. Another policy for $2,500 that was issued to Baker about fifteen years ago was as signed to his wife on Nov. 13 last. These acts are considered to point clearly to premeditated suicide. At the Equitable Insurance company the officers wore very reticent about what action they would take in regard to the two SIO,OOO policies issued last month. They were of the opinion, however, that thoy would be paid. They declined to say whether the claims would be contested and were not sure whether Baker had commit ted suicide or not, although they freely admitted that there was every indica tion that he had taken his own life. The Mutual Life Insurance company also insured Baker on two policies some years ago. At the office of the company they said the policies did not exceed SIO,OOO, but they refused to make known the exact amount. It came out that Baker had endeavored to get an Incontestable policy for SIO,OOO from the Connecticut Indem nity Life Insurance company with the suicide clause waived. The company refused to grant the policy. It is said that Baker was also insured in several other companies. Shoe and Leather bank officials now state that Seely and Baker stole $354,- 000, instead of $343,000. An assessment of 20 per cent, has been levied upon stockholders. Comptroller Eckels at Washington has been notified. No trace has yet been found of the fugi tive bookkeeper. Gen. Merritt. one of the attorneys interested in the case, says Seely was an inveterate gambler and lost lnrge sums. Augustus Kagel and others claim that Baker as trustee for several estates has stolen several hundred thousand dollars, besides that taken from the bank. Many "Wrecks Reported. St. Johns, N. F., Nov. 27.—The Brit ish steamer Louisburg, from Montreal, has arrived here.
