City Shows Signs of Life.
By Associated, Press.
Moscow, Wednesday, via St. Peters
burg, Dec. 27. The backbone, of the
insurrection is broken and the upris
ing "is rapidly going to pieces. The
revolutionists are ahle to keep up only
guerrilla warfare, but the ease witn
which they can move small detach
ments from place to place renders the
task of suppressing them slow and
tedious. The remnants of the insur
rection now lack cohesion, or head.
The city of Moscow bears the pic
turesque appearance of a battlefield.
Officers are everywhere seen galloping
through strets or bing driven about
in rapidly moving sleighs accompanied
by escorts or dragoons or Cossacks.
The center of the city for the first
time today showed signs of life. Stores
were reopened and the inhabitants
who had been cooped up for five days
were venturing out for a breath of
fresh air.

wncse lodgings were seached last
night. Where ever the ' arms were
found, their owners were arrested.
Nevertheless, the leaders from their
hiding places still continue to assure
their followers that all goes well.

WINS A RICH BRIDE.
Miss Fisher, Moving in Ithaca's Smart
Set, Marries Her Coachman.
Ithica, Dec. 28.That a romance of
"The Man on the Box," in which "the
man" was really a coachman, has been
acted out in real life In this city be
came known with the announcement
today that Miss Margaret B. Fisher, a
woman of wealth and a mover in the
"smart set," last night married Pat
rick T. Kelly, who had been employed
several years as her coachman.
The romance began when Miss
Fisher moved to Ithaca from a hamlet,
Mecklenburg, about five years ago. She
had inherited a handsome fortune, and
coming from a good family, and being
well educated and refinel, soon was ad
mitted tor the best homes. .
Being then past the half century
mark and of portly proportions, she
needed a carriage whenever she went
out. Mr. Kelley, familiarly known as
"Pat," a sandy-haired young Irishman,
at least twenty-five years the junior of
the woman, was the lucky man to be
chosen for her first drive. Miss Fisher
was so well pleased with the careful
and skilful manner in which he
han.dled the reins that she insisted
upon "Pat" driving whenever she went
out after that.
Courteous in his. manner, always
ready to do a favor, his wealthy em
ployer, and by no means a homely
chap, Kelly soon made a favorable im
pression on his patrom Miss Fisher
gradually became greatly infatuated
with the man. and, unknown to her
friends, the wedding was secretly plan
ned for Christmas night.
. The ceremony was performed at her
home by the Rev. R. T.-tleorge, pastor
of the Congregational Church, The
announcement of the wedding caused a
sensation here but the couple were on
their wedding trip before the event be
came publically known.
: Upon their return to the city Mr. and
Mrs. Kelly will live in a house owned
by the last named in a fashionable part
of the city.

the Muddle.
Mr. Zach McGhee, formerly a news

appears: . . . ... . :
"Attorney General Moody may be
subpoenaed to appear at Henderson
villo court as a witness in the damage
suit case, a feature of the general Re
publican mix-up. Last week when 22
North Carolina Republicans called on
the president and several members of
the Cabinet protesting against the of
fice holding trust in that State, Mr.
Moody is reported to have said that
the complaint made by Anderson
again$t .Rollins was "a tissue of lies."
Anderson's complaint was that Rol
lins,; Republican State chairman, and
his father-in-law, Judge Pritchard, had
given offices to 50 or more . of their
kinsmen, and he objects seriously and
specifically to sundry . other methods
and basis of the division of federal pie.
Anderson now writes a warm letter to
the attorney general . Censuring him
for expressing his adverse opinion up
on a matter which it is for the courts
to decide, especially since h based
his remark that the complaint was a
'tissue of lies' upon a petition of a. let

ant in the suit. He will summon At

whole letter in court. This promises to
enliven the already exceedingly lively

"Industry" Said to Be Profitable to
Some Farmers.
Burlington, la., Dec. 28. Raising
hogs always has been regarded as a
profitable industry, but raising wolves
has it beaten ten ways. It has come to
the ears of Des Moines ' County offi
cials that the latter occupation , is
being carried on systematically by a
few farmers who hope to reap a good
profit next-spring. The county pays $2
for every cub wolf scalp presented at
the Auditor's office and $5 for every
old wolfs scalp. - -
It has been noticed for several years
past . that certain farmers have : been
reaping a rich harvest each spring on
the bounties they received for wolf
scalps. It is rare that an old wolf's
scalp is presented, and this fact served
to arouse the suspicions of the. coun
try officials. 1 I
A farmer from one of the townships
where the wolves have been particu
larly plentiful was in the city today
and unbosomed himself of a few
hunches concerning the wolf-raising in
dustry. "It's more profitable to raise wolves
than it is hogs," said this farmer. "If
you have noticed, the scalps of the old
wolves are never turned in for bounty.
There is a good reason for this, as the
elimination of the old wolves would
put an end to the propagation of the
species and also put an end to the col
lection of wolf bounties. Why, I know
a farmer who has considerable timber
land on his place, who has several old
wolves that are as.tame as shotes. '
"It costs little or nothing to keep
them, and every spring, when the
young wolves are born, the lair is in
vaded and the youngsters knocked on
the head before their eyes- are open.
They mean $2 apiece at the Auditor's
office.
