At an early hour Wednesday eveninir, the 23rd the welcome throng converged to Central M. E. church, which soon became packed to overflowing, The vestibule deoorationa bore silent language that bid all to enter irotn the inner door buret npon the view the altar and choir railing entwined with ivy and about them were potted feme. On each side of the altar were four stands, graceful ly trimmed with ferns, on which sat pota of ferns of various and delicate varieties. Tbe incaudtsjent lights as you glanced at them were softened with tissue of mellow tint fringed and tucked neatly about them. Across the left aisle stretched a garland bearing a large letter "A." The right aisle garland bore the letter "S." Messrs A II Wearn and J P Gocd. man found seats for all till space be came wanting, At 8 o'clock tbe pipe organ under the skillful touch of Mrs. Brower murmured low sweet symphonies that set the aodunce in momentary expectancy. Ere long little Miss Mary Kim moos came up the left aisle and Mis Jennie Ooltrane came up the right aisle, stepping to the Mendels sohn wedding march,and opened the gat'u for the bridal party.

He then extended his congratulations. Tbe happy pair marched down the aisle by which the groom had en tered and which bore the letter "8," the initial insignia by which the two made one are ever hereafter to be known. Tbe dainty flower girls strewd the aisle with Hovers and tbe attendant? in pretty pairs passed out through either aisle when all proceeded to the depot where they boarded the south bound train for the groom' home in Charlotte, At two o'clock p. m., previous to the marriage, a royal feast was en joyed at tbe home of the bride's father, Capt J M Alexander, by large cinle of the bridal party and special friends and relatives, when the bride was the recipient of a pro fusion of sppreeiable gifts.

From the Charlotte Observer's ao count of the event we dip the fol lowing extraot : "The bride is one of Concords fairest aud loveliest daughter. Were she anything else she would not be worthy of the young man to whom she has committed her heait and band, for he is deserving of all things good. 'Mr. Stone universally esteemed He is one of Charlotte's moat promit Bent young merclaots, and by bis honesty of life and purposes; his whclesoled cleverness and bis at tractive personality, he has won for himaeif a tost of friends. He and his fair yonLg bride have tbe best wishes and hearty congratulations of the community. They received many handsome presents from friends in this city, Concord and other places."

A oitizen of Lexington on the excursion train from Greensboro to Charlotte, in conyersation with a Standard reporter stated that citi zens of Lexington and Davidson county, with a nnmber of blood hounds were still pursuing the assassin of Mrs. Springs, which oo ourred Wednesday morning at 3 20 o'clock in the bedroom of the vie tim, lying by the side of her bus baod. The conntry far and near is being eearched for suspicious char acters and if tbe wretch is overtaken his time on earth will be very lim ited. Posses cvmposed of several hundred people who are indignant ind determined are pursuing him. At 9 o'clock this morning tbe searching parties bad not returned, after being out all night. At S o'clock this afternoon we received the following special from Lexington: A midnight VlKltor. Lexington, June 24.

Hailstones 14 inches in circum ference fracture people's skulls and kill fowls and quadrspeds and crash through roofs. How they fared in Kansas while we lay either sleeping or entertained with a sublime but not an alarming thunderstorm with tbe welcome patter of tbe summer shower. Tofeka. Kans., June 24 The worst bailstorm known in this sec tion of Kansas struck tbe oity shortly after 6 o'clock tonight. Hail atones weighing 12 and 15 ounces fell, broke window panes on every hand, and did damage to plate glass ; out down telegraph and tele phone wires; riddled awnings and inflicted unprecedented damage throughout the city. Dogs were struck in tbe streets and were In stantly killed. Horses were knocked to their knees, and rinaways oo curred throughout the city. When the fury of the Btorm had passed dead birds were found everywhere A heavy wind and terrific lightning accompanied the storm. Topeka tonight looks like a city chat has withstood a siege of war guns. There are not a dozen buildings in town that are now al most windowless, and many roofs were caved in. Tbe roofs of street cars were also pierced. The dam age done can better be imagined when it is known that the bail stones ranged in size from that of a hen's egg to an ostrich egg, and that 30 minutes after the storm one hailstone was picked up which measured 14 inches in circumfer ence. Surgeons are busy dressing tbe wounds of persons injured in the storm, and reports of injuries continue to be received. Many were hurt in runaways in the streets. Tbe following were among the most seriously hurt : Frank Brain ird, backman, skull fractured; J D Henderson, livsryman, skull frac tured; Roy White, leg broken ; Mrs. Mary Hughes, arm broken in a runaway; D K Lee, bad scalp wound ; Miss Anna Fenton, head cut; Fred Holter, head cut. The damage can not be estimated, but it will amount to thousands of dollars. Window glass is already at a preminm bere, and tonight three oar loads were ordered from Kanses Oity. Street car traOio is stopped and electric lights are out, owing to the demoralization of the electric system. Sauna, Kans, June 24. A cy clone passed 15 miles northwest of this city last night.

William DeJarnette, a brick ma son in the employ ot Capt. A U Propst, is in a bad fix. While en gaged in laying a pillar at the new bouses at China Grove Thursday afternoon, about 2 o'clock, a small black spider crawled npon bu neck and bit him. He worked on for several hours, paying no attention to the bite, but he became sickened and soon had to leave his work. He was taken to his boarding hcuse, where a physician visited him. The man bt erne delirious and re. mained so until tbis (Friday) morn ing, when he was brought here. He says the pains are continual and of the most excruciating kind. He had lost all use of bis limbs and was unable to walk. A Trn.teo Resign.. Prof. Meserve resigns as a trustee of tbe Institution for Deaf, Dumb and Blind. It appears from his letter that be is a life long republi can, that he wa9 appointed by Gov.

It does seem that never before in all the scrambles for office, was there enoh a hungry horde.

Tbe North Carolina Railway I.ne A Foreeam-Pasl. It in Yonr Hat. Editor the Citizen: It is authori tatively announced that the South ern Railway company will immedi ately build tbe long -talked of line of railroad between Mocksville and Mooresville, a distance of about 23 miles. This will give a through north and south line independent of the North Carolina railroad and only 16 miles longer than the pres ent route. There are abundant reasons apart from tbe attack upon tbe lease of tbe North Carolina rail road to justify the construction of this link and, in connection-witb that question, the motive beoomee irresistible; so we may rely npon tbe statements made and expect to see tbe new line completed before the snow flies. No one at all conversant with tbe situation has doubted that, sooner or later, the Atlantic & Danville road will fall into the bands of the Southern. Tbe Atlantio & Dan ville reaches tbe same deop-water terminal as the Southern, and on a line 10 miles shorter than the Southern's. By the new MockBville line and tbe Atlantic & Danville tbe Southern will have a line to Norfolk about 6 miles longer oj the haul from tbe south and about seven miles shorter on tbe haul from the west than its existing line and quite independent of the North Carolina road. Tbe partially successful negotia tion of tbe Southern for a controll ing interest of the Senboard Air Line is recent history. It will be remembered that T F Ryan, whose connection with the Southern was indisputable, bargained to pay more than double the market price for enough stock to control the Sea board, but a complication arose by which the other party to the con tract was at the time unable to do liver the goods; but Ryan did actu ally buy a very large block of Sea board stock at tbe fancy price agreed upon. And from that day to tbis there has never been a donbt in any rational mind that the Southern syndicate would bob up some fine morning with a majority of the stock of tho Seaboard Air-Line, Until they shall have acquired such control tbe large sum of money in vested by Ryan is simply thrown away, for the stock 'pays no divi dend. With the Southern in control of the Seaboard what becomes of Gov. Russell's bidder for tbe North Caro lina lease the only possible bidder, by the way, other than the South ern? I prediet that the aforementioned three several things will have hap pened before tbe assembling of tbe next North Carolina legislature. And about that time the Southern will probably come up with mock humility and say "Maybe we were a little previous; 09 years is a long time. We have no objections to tbe cancellation of tbe lease." Then there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then will Gov. Russell, Joaephus Daniels and the other self-constituted saviors of the State's road be called upon to fig ure out the profits on the operation of a locol road without through traffic connections of ar.y sort. Then will visions of a semi-circular road which nobody want? flit through a legislative mind. Tben will it be seen that for'every dollar which the Southern could lose by the cancellation of the lease tbe State will lose ten by the diversion of traflio from its road and the ir reparable injury thereby done the towns and industries tributary thereto. I would not be understood as prophesying tbe cancellation of the lease. By no means 1 Tbe lease will stand as a valid contract, but as a political bonanza it will vanish into tbin air. We shall see a very extensive metamorphosis of Road Saviors into Lease Saviors. And, incidentally, Gov. Russell and Jo eephus Daniels will have to roost at-iomewh lower than at present. Fkanr Carter.

Jailed, John Ray and Jim Black, hail ing from Buncombe crunty, arrived in Moreanton Monday afternoon, and Monday night during the Root-Tea- Na open air concert, passed a a number of counterfeit five-cent pieces in the crowd. The lemonade stand, in the court house yard, and even the Root-Tea-Na people them selves, got some of the bogus money. Deputy Marshal W J Patterson was not long in locating the fellows who were playing the game, but before be could aires1 them some one informed them that Mr. Patterson was after them aud tbey skipped. However, Mr. Pat terson ascertained that they were traveling in the direction of Hickory and on Tuesday ho left in pursuit of them. He evertook Ray and Black at Hildebrand, a station between Connelly Springs and Hickory, arrested them and brought them to Morganton jail. Mr. Patterson found on their persons 26 counter feit cickles, and plaster of parii, with which they made their moulds. Ray and Black were carried be fore United States Commissioner C F McKesson yesterday for a bearing. Mr. McKesson found eyidence against them sufficent for him to bind them to the Federal court at Statesville. The violators did not have much to ay about the matter and at the trial declined to be sivorn when asked if tbey wished to say anythirg. In default of bail they were placed back in prison.

A merchant friend presented to us a card from a dealer in dried fruit, which we copy for the benefit of those who may dry apples for tbe market : He says. "Sliced-apples are no longer called for as of old. "There are two million pounds of old sliced-apples now on hand wait ing for buyers at 1J to 2 cents.

The Press Association expressed its interests in education, but did not so heartily endorse tbe act, if we read correctly between the lines.
