A Strange Wedding:.
Col. Thos. W. Strange, of this
cit, was married in New York, on
Saturday afternoon to Miss Florence
A. Rogers. The ceremony was per
formed at St. Ann's Church by the
groom's brother, Rev. Robert
Strange. A reception was after
wards held at the Hoffman House.
Col. Strange and his bride, will make
a brief visit to New England and
are expected to return the latier
part of this week, or the first of next
week. Dr. J. E. Pigford, Mr. A. G.
Ricaudiand Mr. John W. Bolles, of
this city, were among those present
at the wedding and the reception.
'The King of Glory."
A city correspondent writes: By
request, Rev. W. S. Creasy last night
repeated a sermon preached by him
from this text: "Lift up your heads
O, ye gates; and he ye lifted up, ye
everlasting doors; and the King of
Glory shall come in. Who is this
King of Glory? The Lord strong
and mighty, the Lord mighty in bat
tle." I have often heard sermons from
this text, but frankly say that
I have never heard it more elo
quently and beautifully explained
The speaker's exhortation to receive
Christ Was most touching and im
pressive, and I was not surprised
that he should have been called
upon to repeat it.
'Grace M. E. Church has never in
my judgment had a pastor more be
loved and esteemed, and one who is
doing more to build up his master's
kingdom here on earth; and when
"the everlasting doors" are raised
to admit "the chosen of the Lamb
that was slain," this holy man of
God will receive his just reward and
the plaudit of "Well done, thou good
and faithful servant! Enter thou
into the joy of thy Lord."
Blight's Disease.
This insidious ailment, if too long
neglected, will underline the strong
est constitution and bring the victim
to a premature grave. Heecl the
timely warning, and regain health
at once by a use of the proper re
storative, that great strengthener of
the urinary and digestive organs, B.
B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm).
David Runkel, Cullman, Georgia,
writes: "I used a hundred dollars
worth of medicine for Bright's dis
ease, but it did me no good. I then
took B. B. B,, which relieved me.
My appetite is restored and I uri
nate without pain."
J. A. Maddoz, Atlanta, Ga.4writes:
"I had great trouble in passing
urine which was filled with sedi
ments. My back and loins gave me
much pain and I lost my appetite,
strength and flesh. I became ner
vous and unable to sleep soundly.
Two bottles of B. B. B. gave me en
tire relief."
Thomas Williams. Soddy, Tenn.,
writes: "I was troubled with severe
kidney complaint and confined to
my bed. Six bottles of B. B. B.
made a well man of me."
Forecasts.
For North Carolina, fair and warm
er weather. For Wilmington and
vicinity, rains to day, followed by

St. Mary's, Goldsbro
The dedication of St. Mary's Ro
man Catholic Church inGoldsboro,
yesterday, was largely attended.
Nearly 200 went up from this city
on the train chartered by the Young
Catholic Friend's Society. There
were also large delegations from
Raleigh, Newbern, and other points.
Bishop Haid was present and per
formed the office of dedication, as
sisted by the pastor of the parish,
Rev. F. J. Price. The Y. C. F. S.,
'under command of Col. F. W. Ker
chner, acted as a guard of honor.
It was a very impressive service.
The music was veryjfine. Prof.
Greenewald presided at the organ.
East Carolina's Exposition.
The East Carolina Fish, Oyster,
Game and Industrial Exposition to
be held at Newbern promises to bean
event of no little importance. No
pains have been spared to make it a
success. It will be opened next
Monday, by Gov. Fowle, and will
continue one week. Among other
distinguished men expected are ex
President Cleveland, Governors
Fitzhugh Lee and Gordon, Senators
Vance and Ransom, Minister J arvis,
and Hons. W. O'B. Branch, L. L.
Polk and S. B. Alexander. Each day
willjbe made a special feature, with
military parades, Allliance Day,
Gala Day aud Fireman's Day. A
fine band has been engaged, to play
every day. Low excursion rates have
been secured from all principal
points.
The Mutual Life.
The annual statement of The Mu
tual Life Insurance Company of
New York, as published in this
issue, shows the remarkable pro
gress made by the institution during
twelve months. Since its organiza
tion in 1813 it has paid to its policy
holders $287,681,948.20. The wonder
Tut growth of the company is due in
a large degree to the freedom from
restriction and irksome conditions
in the contract and to the oppor
tunities for investment which are
offered in addition to indemity in
case of death.
The Mutual Life was the first to
practically undertake the simplifi
cation of the insurance contract and
strip it of a verbiage in the mazes
of which could be found innumber
able refuges against claims of policy
holders who had, however unwit
tingly, departed from the strict let
ter of the agreement. That this
appealed powerfully to the popular
taste is evident from the fact that
in 1889 the company wrote over
$151,000,000 of new insurance.
The First Train.
The Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley
R. R. is now "open for business."
The first train for the West in
charge of Capt. Jno. M. Walker,
left here this morning for Fayette
ville, Greensboro and Mt. Airy and
"intermediates." The equipment
consists of a large, serviceable pas -
senger engine, baggage and express
car and passenger coaches, and the
train pulled out at the depot at 9:40
and started on its long run. It will
get to Mt. Airy to-night and will
turn its nose in this direction to
morrow morning. The East bound
train, under Capt. Dobson, will ar
rive to-night and will leave here to
morrow morning. The two trains
will meet at Fayetteville, which is
the dinner station for both.
, There was quite an animated
scene this morning under the big
shed at the foot of Mulberry street.
The constantly arriving passengers
and the continual arrival of drays
and trucks with freight for the in
terior, gave one a faint idea of what
mav be looked for a few weeks
hence.
Mr. J. R. Williams started out ex
press service on the line this morn
ing, with a messenger in charge, but
the mails will not be put on until
March 1st, an unnecessary and vex
atious delay, it seems to u?.
