Sensations followed each other on the Xew York Stock Exchange 'yesterday and gave the market almost a panicky character, the cause of the trouble be ing the suspension of Otton Heinze & Co. the failure of the old- banking house of Haller, Soehle & Co., of -Berlin, the failure of the State Savings Bank of Butte, Montana, and other de pressing occurrences. In Chicago yesterday wheat experienced a severe decline, the December option dropping 3 cents and the May option z 7-8 cents owing to the condition of the New Yxrk stock market, and a" decline of tmt! a bushel at Winnlneff. Where ae receipts are large. The State Savings tsanK, at jjullc, Aiuuuwa, closed its doors yesterday when a run on it was caused by a rumor of .the failure of Otton Heinze & Co., of New York, Heinze being one of the copper magnates and largely interested in the bank, which has deposits of $4,250,000. Mr. and Mrs. Clarkson were In London yesterday seeking the advice of Father Vaughn, explain their elope ment and get him to legalize their marriage; the girl's father, Martin Ma loney, the Philadelphia millionaire, has probably gone to Rome to consult the Pope about the marital troubles of his daughter. : As the committee on proxies was not ready to report yesterday, there was not meeting of the stockholders of the Illinois Cen tral Railroad at Chicago; E. H. Harrl man told the newspaper men that he was sick of the continued attacks on railroads and that the newspapers could do much to settle the situation by refusing to print one side of a prop osition until the man on the other side could be seen and given a chance to let his defence go along with the rharees. The Episcopal General Convention at Richmond yesterday elected as missionary bishop the Rev. Frederick Foulke Reese, D. D., of .Nashville, Tenn., and the Rev.

Chi cago dispatch referring to Stuyvesant Fish's fight against the railroad mag nate. Harriman will not relish this new block system. Hearst is not in politics for fun. By fusing his Independence League with f the New York Republicans he stands a chance of getting half a loaf, Marion Butler once set an example in that particular. "How much is a dollar worth, any how?" asks a Republican contempo rary, it isn't wsrth as much as it used to be. High prices jof commodi- I ties have decreased the dollar's pur chasing value. We have to chase core dollars than we used to in order fo make both ends meet. New York alienists have decided that the. Rev Maxwell Walenta and Mrs. Nora Bauer are both crazy be cause they claimed to be each other's affinity. If "affinities" are left to them selves, either one or both will sooner or later come to the conclusion that one at least is bughouse. The Rev. Charles P. Aked, the new Xxlish pastor of John D.

State. r BIG CROWD AT SHOW Estimated That Fifteen Thous and Saw Buffalo Bill Wild West Yesterday, STIRRING SCENES IN ARfeNA " ' 1 ' " Lived Over Times That Were in Early History of This. Country Col. Cody as Popular as of Yore. Car Service. Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Con gress of Rough Riders of the World were seen In Wilmington yesterday, afternoon and night, by between 15,000 and 20,000 people, the first named esti mate having perhaps more correctly guaged the crowds in attendance upon the two exhibitions. It was a typical Wild West show of rather large pro portions and those who witnessed it for the most part weje well pleaded with what they saw and heard. The shown arrived on two special trains over the Coast Line from Florence, S. C, yesterday morning and head quarters were soon established just beyond Seventeenth and Princess streets, on the Carolina Heights prop erty The weather was ideal for show day, and the grounds were soon cov ered with. the idly curious. to. witness the always interesting spectacle of seeing the show' unload' and get Into temporary quarters for the day. It was not necessary to erect all of the big amphitheatre for Wilmington with its seating capacity" of over 20,000 but the crowd was -amply provided for and the tent comfortably filled with a good natured,, happy-go-lucky throng who went because they felt it was a "boun den duty" to see all that was going and pass in judgment upon the mer its or demerits of what was offered. The public was not expecting and did not see the ancient and honorable street parade, and therefore, the ab sence of thronged ' sidewalks and young Americans astride "every" conve nient cross-arm of a kindly telegraph pole was lacking, but what was lost in this resnect was fully made ud in liiW- a?d ser to the axffifcl.T exnlbitibn -out at the grounds. Col. Cody has cut the street parade, for the past five years and experience has taught him that there is no good rea son for a return to it. The absence of "our old favorite," the steam calliope, was also noted by the old-timers, but what was lost here was made up in the appearance on the street quite In cidentally of an old-fashioned hurdy gurdy and a very immodest little "cou sin of ours' which held forth at street corners down town all the afternoon. Col. Cody, otherwise known as Bu falo Bill, was the centre about which the Interest formed at the show grounds. Col. Cody presented his Con gress of Rough Riders althe very out set and with a wave of his gray hat the thousands who thronged the show tent were bidden to the scenes of the days that were and the greatest exhi bition of horsemanship and marks manship that Is now extant. , They were there, horses and riders of every Nation and every clime. There were the Western cowboys and cowgirls, the Cossacks, Arabs, Indians Japs, Rus sians, Britishers with men from every other part of the universe. Clothed in their fantastic garments, the In dians In war paint and feathers, gayly caparisoned horses, trappings and In vestments, the scene was a pictur esque one. The exhibition differed very little from that seen here by Buf falo Bill before, but there was a satis faction In seeing it all over again the very best In its line that the world affords according to all estimates of shows and exhibitions of whatever nature. Feats of horsemanship that would- seem quite Impossible, were easily gone through wltti" agile riders dashing about the arena In every con ceivable posture and under every con- ceivable condition. The hold-up of the old Deadwood coach, the stirring In dian battles and the attack upon the Indian camp were all realistic and par ticipated In by those who actually took part In such scenes before. The ani mals give evidence of being well kept and excellently trained. It Is without a doubt in this respect the greatest aggregation In the world. CoL Cody's marvelous exhibitions of marksmanship need not to be de scribed, but to be seen. Riding swift ljr to and fro before the vast audi ence an Indian attendant riding equal ly as fast before him, would throw the missiles Into the air, and with equal swiftness, Col. Cody would break each of them as fast as they went up with- that unerring aim which has made him world-famous. , An added feature this season with the show is a company'of Arabian ac robats under the leadership of Abon Hammad. Their agile and clever per formance elicited the applause of alf. Nine men standing at once upon the stalwart shoulders of , the veadec of the troupe and the turning wonderful somersaults all about the lot almost ! makes one dizzy to contemplate, but it is all there and there can be no op tical illusion of what the spectator sees before his own very jeyes. The broncho busting of the cowboys of the plains was also interestlne. this feature being led by .

Bridal Tour North. , In a beautiful pnk and white wed ding v yesterday ' afternoon at five o'clock in Saint Paul's Episcopal Church, Fourth and Orange streets, Miss Annie Kay Harper, the attrac tive young daughter of Captain and Mrs. James T. Harper, of this city, be came the bride of. Dr. Ernest Charles Vito, formerly- of Akron, Ohio but who is now a leading dental swrgeon of Goldsboro, North Carolina, the "beautiful Episcopal service that made them man and wife having been impressively spoken by the Rev. A. W. Seabrease, rector or the parish in the presence of a large number of rela tives and admiring friends of the bride and groom. The church was beauti fully decorated with palms, ferns, Southern smflax and other evergreens while here and there were clusters ofj pink and white crysathemums carry ing out quite effectively and prettily the color scheme, a soft .light from numerous candelabra adding beauty to the marriage scene, which is describ ed as pne of the most elegant of the early Autumn in Wilmington. As the guests assembled a number of classic selections .were rendered by Mr. Alf. H.-Yopp, the vorganist, and at the appointed hour the gladsome strains of the wedding march herald ed the approach of the bridal party. The matron of honot was Mrs. James E. Womack, of Wilmington, and the groom was attended as best man by Mr. C. Gordon Smith,-of Rocky Mount, N. C. The bridesmaids were Miss Ella Windsor, of Southport, and Misses An nie Louise Price, Mary Belle ; Sneed and Gertrude Bryan, of Wilmington, while the groomsmen were Messrs. Fred Harper, of Lynchburg, Va., a brother of the bride; Mr. Francis Gid dens, of Goldsboro; Dr. J. W. Stanley and "Ir. Joseph A. Price, df this city. The bride entered the church on the arm of her brother. Dr. Chas.T. Har per, of Wilmington, by whom she was given away. The groom and his best man entered from a side doorf and when the ensemble at "the altar was complete, the solemn 'words were spo- kn that joined the two hearts -one. - In a white lace robe over taffeta, her bridal veil being caught up with or ange blossoms, while she ' carried white bride's roses and Lilies of the Valley. The dame of honor was becomingly gowned In pink point d'sprit over taffe ta and carried white crysanthemums. The bridesmaids were pretty In gowns of white silk with Persian gir dles and carrying white crysanthe mums. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal party repaired to the home of the bride's parents, on Church street, where an elegant wedding repast was served and Dr. Vitou and bride receivr ed the happiest felicitations of those assembled Later they were accompa nied by the wedding party to the un ion station whence they took their departure , on the northbound Atlan tic Coast Line train at 7 o'clock for a bridal tour North. Returning In about two weeks they will be at home at Goldsboro, where the groom has a large and lucrative practice. Both Dr. and Mrs. Vitou have the best wishes of many friends In Wil mington. The groom is well known here, having been located for several years at Southport, and he is congrat ulated on the rare good fortune that is his in the happy event of yester day. Miss Harper is a young woman of most attractive personality, and Is much loved and admired in a wide circle of friends In this city. While many will regret her departure from Wilmington, they will hope that her visits' here will be. often. was also seen in this act. Johnnie Baker Is another crack shot with the shows and is quite up to his principal with his marvelous exhibi tion. THr. Baker is really the manager of the vast machinery In the amphi theatre and with the shrill of a whis tle or the beck of a hand everything moves -as smoothly as a rehears! of higli-class opera. The shooting of Ba ker through a mirror is especially mystifying and he was given warmest applause. The gtreet car service to the grounds during the afternoon was' good, but as the vast throngs poured out of . the tent after the show and started home, they were; disappointed to find that al car had burned out on the line . and traffic was at a standstill until most of the large crowd had walked v into' town. The accident was ouite as un- J fortunate for. the company as it was for those who had to do the sidewalk stunt home. The loss to the company by this simple little accident was, per-j haps, several hundred dollars, as the streets were lined with people coming in afoot, and these 'same people would have taken a car had the line been in operation. The shows left, during, the night for Goldsboro, where an exhibition will be given today. The next and last stop for this season Is at Richmond, Va, After the'appearance at Richmond "on Saturday the Wild West will go into Winter. Quarters at Bridgeport, Conn.

Under Long Lease. TO INCREASE ITS FINANCES Larger Corporation Nearly Identical in Interest Takes Control of Local Traction Lines and Other Pub lic Utilities Operated. The formal transfer of the affairs of the Consolidated .Railways, Light & Power Company to the Tidewater Power Coinpany, of Wilmington, this being through the means of a. ninety-nine-year lease of the properties of the first named to the latter corpora tion, was effected In this city yester day at meetings of the boards of di rectors and stockholders of each of the companies. This step has been in contemplation for some time for the purpose of more adequately financing the traction lines of the Consolidated Company and at a recent meeting of the. Board of Aldermen, the formal transfer of the franchises and rights of the former company were trans ferred to the latter. The meeting of the directors of the C. R., L. & P. Company was first held in the offices of the company in the MacRae building, on Front street, at 10:30 o'clock and this was immediate ly followed by the meeting of the stockholders at 11 A. M. All matters to be later passed upon by the Tide water Power Company were agreed upon and the directors of the Tidewa ter met in the offices of the Investment Trust Company, fifth floor of the Southern Building, at 11:30 and the stockholders at 12 o'clock. The lease for ninety-nine years, which Is practi cally regarded as a . perpetuity, was then concluded between the officers and stockholders, most of whom are in common in the two companies. Af ter the meeting the following state ment was given out fronl the offices of the company as -: to the . objects-of I "The purpose of transferring the control or me Jjonsonqatea Jttanways, Light and Power Company to the Tidewater Power Company by pur chase of a majority of the stock of the Consolidated Company, and a lease of the Consolidated Company to the Tidewater Power Company for a period of 99 years. Is to have an ope rating company which la large enough and which has sufficient financial strength to take care of the exten sions and improvements which have been necessitated and which in future will be necessitated by the rapid growth of the city-of Wilmington. "The Consolidated Company was planned and organized on financial lines which were adequate five years ago, in 1902, but not adequate for the present time, and especially, would not provide for the future. "The recent double tracking of the Important streets in Wilmington prac tically gives the Tidewater Power Company double the efficiency for serving the public that the Consoli dated Company had, the cars running every five minutes on Front street, and by running at more frequent in tervals than formerly on Princess street will be able to handle the traf fic without delay? and, whereas a ten minute schedule was hardly a practi- cal convenience to people whose time is valuable, with cars running every five minutes, the convenience Is In creased to such an extent that the public naturally make's nuch greater use of the facilities for travel, espe cially that portion of the public in terested in saving time and moving quickly from one portion of the city to another." The Tidewater Power Company with Its enlarged scope and financial re sources will be- in a position to be an Important factor In the future devel opment of Wilmington, as the Consoli dated Company has been in the past.
