THX CTJlAJr STTT7ATI0I. It i diSicult to outline the prob- bt coaf of erenta daring the nt week etenU which we beliere rill aasUin the position of the Star, o lam i liar to it reader bot it wmi that our forecast of the blo-k-a4e of Havana by the North Atlantic squadron will be Terified. If Spain reject the ultimatum of the L nit.nj State, or tnakesi no replj at all within the prescribed time, and the immediate blockade of Ilarana follows, what next? This will be what international lawyers term "an act of war. and if Spain intends to make pnxi her threat to tiht desratelj for Cuba, the jrarts of Morro Cattle and other batteries will immediately open on the hostile hip. This fire would be returned by oar fleet, and then we would hare actual war. Hot it i the judgment of the Stir that the gnns of Spam will not b4 heard nnle the first shot omc from the blockading Sect, and this we do not expect. It is more likelT that the obiect of a blockade of Havana, and perhaps other Cuban port, will be to stnrre the Spanish army into iubmi.ion instead of conquering it with I nitel States troops on land. We verily believ that Spain ha. no serious intention n makiii a real defenc of Harann. and that she ha.4 alrraly tlecidel to evacuate the nland. lUi-ause there are some cases of imaginary or nervous hydrophobia, some contend that there is no such thm a real hydrophobia. A man died the other dav in New Jersey from hydrophobia, from the bite of a do that there wa nothing the matter with. He imagined the dog waj mad and that he would be. Some New Jersey men ran imagine anything.

It shows him with his hat on. Mrs. Krtier is a thousrhtful and a kind old soul, for at her sug gestion the s. ulptor made the hat bowl shaped at the top so it would catch and hold rain water, from whfh thirjty birds might drink. A regular balloon service is to be established at New York for the double purjsc if observation anl to protect the harbor.

The proverbial cat with its nine lues isn't a circumstance to the sea polyp, which makes more polyps the more it is cut up. Cut into pieces each piece makes a separate and in dependent polyp, which proceeds to business as if there had Ix-en no surgery practiced on it. The perversity of some men is astonishing. A clergyman ha re cently died in Kngland at the age of lol year, who resigned his pas toral care fifty-nine years ago on account of til health, because he was "told sixty years ago that he had incurable heart disease.

MANY PEOPLE ATTENDED Impressive Ceremony Floral Decorations The Brides Maids and Other Atten daats Reception A Bridal Tour. In the presence of a concourse of Wilmington's foremost people, at 5.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, in the stately old St. James' Episcopal Church, Capt Donald MacRae and Miss Momenia Cary Davis were happily married, tne service naving proven one of the most beautiful in the history of Wilmington's social life. Everr available seat in the audito rium and galleries was occupied by relatives and admiring friends of the popular couple, and the pleased com ments and happy faces of the throng of people, as they dispersed, admitted of no doubt of the thorough success of the event as a social triumph. Under the tasteful direction of Miss Lucy B. Moore, the church had been decorated with unusual taste and ap propriateness. It was a "Daffodil I wedding" and the altar was laden with a quantity or tnese lovely now era. There were lilies in profusion. Then about the -chancel there were tall palms, luxuriant ferns and choice potted flowers of many varieties, all harmoniously arranged. Upon the altar, high above this floral bower, were a number of many pronged candelabra, shedding upon the beauti ful and sacred scene a sparkling yet mellow light Before the arrival of the bridal party Mr. Ed. H. Munson rendered several appropriate organ selections. Among them were Girand's march, "Pensoe," by Godard. and Meyer-Helmund's Nocturne in d flat. The music changed to Lohengrin's wedding march when the bridal party arrived. The march to the 'altar, the ceremony and the passing of the party from the church made a most beautiful specta cle. The bridesmaids were attired in yel low and white chiffon with leghorn liats. Yellow daffodils were noticeable trimmings on hats and dresses. Each lady also carried bouquets of the same flower. They were Miss Bessie Hen derson, of Salisbury; Miss Harden, of South Carolina, and Miss Fair Payne, Miss Sarah Kenan, Miss Isabel Roua- tree and Miss Julia Parsely, of this citv. The ushers led the march. They were Mr. R F. Crow. Mr. Geo. Crow, Mr. T. W. Davis, Mr. R B. Mason, Mr. H. M. Chase and Mr. Hugh Mac Rae. Miss Mary Calder was maid of honor and her costume was yellow over green silk. Shecarried a bouquet of daffodils. Little Miss Meta Boatwright and Master Hugh Courtney were ap propriately costumed as ribbon hold ers. The bride entered leaning on the arm of her brother, Mr. Junius Davis. She was beautifully attired in white satin, trimmed with chiffon and Duchess lace and wore a white tulle veil. In her hand was a lovely bouquet of lilies of the valley. At the chancel the bride was met by Capt. MacRae and his best man, Mr. W. M. Atkinson, and bride and groom advanced to the altar, where Dr. Robert Strange performed the ceremony in his wonted eloquent and beautiful manner, using the prescribed Episcopal service. The ceremony over, the bridal party retired from the church in time to the strains of Tanhauser's March and were driven to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Rountree, where an in formal reception was in progress until 7.13 o'clock, when Capt and Mrs. MacRae left the city on the north bound train for a bridal tour. Pro vided the war cloud does not become more threatening, they contemplate a trip to Europe. In the back parlor at the Rountree home was displayed a magnificent array of bridal presents in cut glass and silver. Noticeable among them was a massive silver platter appropri ately engraved, presented by the Wil mington Light Infantry of which Capt MacRae is the honored captain. The bride is quite an accomplished young lady and the groom one or Wilmington's foremost business men, both most highly esteemed. And the Star unites with a host of friends in wishing for' them a happy wedded life. BeIlaniyTreaholai Wedding. Yesterday at 4 o'clock in St Thomas' Church, Dr. Russell Bellamy, son of Dr. W. H. T.

W. Cycle Club held a meeting last night at their rooms over I r " PP's hicycle establish ment, on Second street, between Prin cess and Market. The president, Mr. R G. Rankin, and the secretary, Mr. A. H. Yopp, were at their posts. Several matters came up for discus sion. One of them was the inconve nience experienced by wheelmen on account of the uncrushed shells on the turnpike. A committee, composed of Messrs. H. J. McMillan, W. L. Wil- liford and A. H. Yopp, was appointed to confer with Mr. H. Haar, the presi dent of the Turnpike Company, and ask him to have the shells crushed. The colors which the L. A. W. will fly have not yet been selected, but will be decided on at the next meet ing, which will be held Wednesday night April 27.

Mc- Eachern and Claude Fisher. IN A MAGISTRATE'S COURT. Two of Justice Bornemann's Visitors In dulge in a Fight The past day or two has been filled with unusually exciting events in 'Squire G. W. Bornemann's official life. Three white men Messrs. J. S. Por ter, Geo. Roddick and Walter Bell got into a difficulty, with the result that Bell and Roddick came to Justice Bornemann and submitted to the charge of assault and battery, at the same time swearing out a warrant against Porter. Tuesday night he passed Justice Bornemann's office and upon being called in by the official promptly submttted to the charges preferred against him. In the mean time Roddick came in and indignantly asked Porter if he didn't threaten to 'hip his wife. Regardless of the majesty of the law, the two men joined battle and the outraged justice of the peace was compelled to inter fere personally to put a stop to hos tilities. He pissed warrants then and there and imposed upon the offenders suitable fines and costs. Yesterday Judge Bornemann issued a warrant for the arrest of Whitney McBryde, colored, charged with un mercifully beating his wife. , If he is taken he will doubtless receive the full penalty of the law, as there seem to be no extenuating circumstances. The Fifth Street Revival. Revival services at Fifth Street M. E. Church continue. The sermons of Rev. Mr. Glenn grow in interest and power, ills earnestness and entnusi- asm are infectious, and the church is arousing and many of the members are doing earnest work in the meet ings. The altar each night is filled with penitents seeking salvation, and each night there has been a good number of persons professing con version and a good number of others claiming to be restored to the joy of salvation. Owing to some affection of Mr. Glenn's throat and a similar condition in the throat of Mr. Cun- ninggim, it was found necessary to discontinue the afternoon services, though they were very successful and exceedingly profitable. This has not affected the evening services, which continue with unabated interest. The evening services begin at 7.45 o'clock. Before the Mayor. Annie Freeman, colored, was tried yesterday by Mayor Wright on the charge of disorderly conduct and fined $20. jn default of which she was sent to jail for thirty days. Re sisting an officer and continuing to misbehave, even after having been locked up, made her case' especially aggravating. Hence the heavy pun ishment. J. F. Huggins was the of ficer who made the arrest Another case, that against Joe Gor don, colored, alko for disorderly con duct was disposed of. Gordon was sent to jail for fifteen days, in de fault of $5 and costs. Steamer Service Will Be Continued. It has been a question with some people as to whether the service from Wilmington to New York will be continued now that the war scare is getting fully on. All floubt about the matter is fully removed by the follow ing telegram received late yesterday : II. G. Smallbones, Superintendent Clyde Line. Wilmington, N. C,: It is our intention to continue opera ting steamer service. XHEO. xU. iUJKR, Traffic Manager. The Spaniards can't frighten the Clyde people evidently. Movement of Berries.

TO BE HEARD IN CHAMBERS. Restraining Order in a Judgment Suit Against the W. & W. R. R. Yesterday was the date fixed for the sale of the Wilmington, Newbern and Norfolk railroad, now part of the W. & W., for the satisfaction of a judg ment for $2,300 held by Mr. Thos. B. Burnett for injuries sustained about two years ago; but as announced by the Star several days ago the sale was stopped by a restraining order and the sale did not occur.
