Ow Inu to the recent illness of the mother of the bride, the marriage was a quiet affair. Uiouzn one beautiful In Its simplicity and the well-ordered har monr of the petting and the scene Immediately after thecrretnony Mr. and Mrs. Martin left for Wlnston Falem. where they are the guests of relatives. Jt was In the attractively decorated parlor that the marriago vow were apoken. An improvised altar of .pur Mt white wai there, around and about which on either, hand nun; an artis tic arousing of palms and ferns, up on the whole of hich the-subdued light of candles shed gentle radiance. The bride was attired in a gown of white liberty satin, made princesse with spangled yoke and bertha ana silver and pearl trimmings. Her veil was caught with a brilliant to pas brooch, the elft of the groom. She carried a shower bouquet of bride's rones. There were no attendants except Mini Helen Lid dell, -nald of honor. Mrs. Martin is numbered among tha most . attractive of Charlotte's young people. Possessing as she does tha elements of personal charm and or genuine worth, it Is but natural that many friends are - hers. Mr. Martin Is a son of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Martin, of Winston-Salem., and has a position with the firm of Messrs. John W. Tuckar & Co.. of this city. Jle, too, has many friends. Among the out-of-town people who attended the wedding wera Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Martin, of Winston-Salem; Mrs. D. 8. Davis, of Waxhaw; a sister of the bride, and Master Dan Davis, f Waxhaw. A PRIZE FIGHT POSSIBLE. jrof. Edward PKiroote, French Mid dleweight Champion Pugilist. Writ on to the Sporting I'xllfor of Tlie Observer An Interesting; Com- niuiilratlon. If there Is an Individual In Char lotte by the name of Prof. Hugo 'Kelly, of Chicago, 111., a professional pugilist, and he is of a mind to en gage in a few rounds of the noble sport of boxing, then Prof. Edward Da Groote, an Italian by birth, but Southerner by adoption, who Is now In Spartanburg, S. C, would like to - have a few words with him on his arrival In the city to-morrow or the day following. The sporting editor of The Observer received a letter last night from Prof. PeOroote's man . ager, Mr. J. Pope Anderson, asking aa to Prof. Kelly's whereabouts. He had heard that the Chlcagoan was In the Queen City and fairly Itching for a fight and hence his communication Writes Mr. Anderson: "I understand that Hugo Kelly, of Chicago, Is now In your city and Is out with a sweeping challenge to fight any man In the world of the middle weight class. I wish to request that you kindly publish this on your sport lng page so that Kelly may see same, I, will state that my man DeGroote will fight him at any time and place he may name and on almost any terms he may wish. We will both be In Charlotte .in or about February 6th or th. when we will be glad to Interview- Mr. Kelly In person." The paper on which this letter was written bears a cut of Prof. DeGroote and accompanying It Is a record of hla achievements since he entered the ring in 18. Prof DeGroote Is an Italian and has engaged In more than 40 lights during the past nine years. Should he meet Prof. Kelly and the authorities do not raise a storm there might tie romethlng do lng' In the near future. Should the two agree to spar a few rounds, it is enough to say that Charlotte fanciers will arrange the time and the place Prof. DeGroote's coming will be awaited with Interest. ' TO ESTABLISH NEW CHURCH. Board of Home MImhIoii of A. H. P. Denomination In Kesslon Here Yes terday IHxide to Open a 8oikI Mixtion In Atlanta Report Front Various MisHionarlea Throughout Ute Church Kvldeiice Good Work. The Board of Home Missions of the A. Jt. P. Church held a quarterly meeting yesterday at the home of Iter. William Duncan, on West Third street, where the members were Je llxhtfully entertained at dinner. Those attending were: Dr. J. C. Galloway, of Gaston ia, chairman: Dr. G. H. White, of Ebeneser. treasurer; Rev. M. Y. Love, of Blatesvllle, and Dr. Oliver Johnson, of Leslie' B. C. The most Important matter that came up for discussion was the reading of the reports from all the city missionaries In the bounds of the denomination. The number of tnese reports was much larger than ever before, and presented encourag ing features of the work In the va rious cities throughout the State - where the Church has undertaken work. The establishment of a second church In the City of Atlanta, Ga... was another matter of some InUrewtr and K was agreed after considerable discission that thd board authorize the establishment of this mission next year. The First church of Atlanta, while only a few years old. Is making rotable progress under the ministra tion of Rev. J. A- Gordon, and the time Is believed to be opportune for tb organisation of a second church. Drs. O. It. White and U. O. Miller were named to constitute a commit tee from the board to take up the matter of adopting some uniform sys tem of establishing city missions. This work Is considered of more than usual Importance on account of the fa-t that It will provide mm method by which missions can bo organised and operated with greater economy than has heretofore been possible to stsem, Some Member of the Sub-Boards Arc ratliy Bevause the Aldermen Have Exercised Their Powers in Appropriating th City's Money to Certain stipulated Purposes Over Wliich Thry Have Immediate Control- - The prevailing sentiment among tha members of th several sub-boards or tha city government, since the al dermen adopted a resolution revoking all the present unexpended appro priations, at their meeting Monday night, seems to be to the effect that their powers have been almost com pletely exercised,' and that hence forth these commiaslons will exist in the future In little but name. Soma of the members have taken thit ac tion of the city fathers to heart; oth ers have pasned over It lightly and gooj humoredly, with some signs of great relief. " " Asked for his opinion relative to the situation, a prominent member 6f the board of public service slated yes terday to an Observer man that ho had nothing to say now, but would have somathinj In the near future Jie was noticeably Jlspleased and Con strued the action of the aldermen to mean that vengeance ' was being taken for the failure to gqt the char ter revised at the recent session of the Legislature so .as to completely knock out these commlsniona, An effort was made yesterday to secure soma expert opinion as to whether the action of the aldermen In limiting the powers of the commls- .. I - ,. ...... 1 1 . . n n,..nl11r.v hAlt oi"im ii i r. try- ft . buiiuttiuA ...... , contradiction of the prescribed pre rogative of these boards as laid down In the city charter. Nobody, how ever, was willing to venture an opin ion in this regard until he had maJe a somewhat thorough and more ex haustive Investigation, but the gener al opinion was that the aldermen did not go behind the charter when tak- lnr this course. ; - It Is unquestionable that the rights of the commissions have been notab ly diminished by the adoption of that resolution. Hereafter the board of aldermen will sign all ultimatums In respect to the expenditure of the city's money, and no matter what the sub-boards promise or design to do nothing can be done unless the alder men favor the measure. This resolution, of course, was meant to apnly to all the commis sions and will be effective upon all, but It Is generally believed that the board of public service will feel the forced limitation more sensibly than the other, boards, for the reason that police- and fire protection under con- mi of the safety board are given first place' In the appropriations of he city s money, all street work and such matters that fall to the service board belnr considered as demanding less Immediate atti-htlon. The main reason for the adoption of this resolution, of whi?h more will certainly bp heard In the future, was to save the city's money. The fin ance committee .Is up aalnst a hard proposition, as everybody knows. In trying to msVe both ends meet, and Mayor Franklin, together with-this committee, reached the conclusion some weeks aao that the chief neces sity was to reduce he purohaslnr aarents of the cltv. Toward brtnfrinx nbout such a reduction, these, gentle men enJeavored to hive the charter revised, and falling In this thev at onre somrht to remedv the situation bv the action taken Monday nlsrht. They aru that the cltv should hsve but roe man to buy 811 the sunrOles In order to 'get them chesner and to pav a stable price for them. This wss at least one of the motives In tn"flnT this course. Whatever the action mav amount to bercter, the flnnnr committee and he Aldermen feel tht the win return h4 beep taken, and that the nnple will stnrxl up to tem In this eff iet to redii fh operating expenses of the munlclpslltv.
