HAKUIS-HIMi WEDDING.
A Beautiful Marriage at tho lirluVs
Home Wednesday Evening A Bridal
Tour to Northern Cities Many Beau
tiful l'riHetitw.
On Wodnosday evening at
7:il0 at tho homo of Mr. W J II ill
011 North Main street midst a
host of friends and many beaut if ul
decorations, tho marriage vows
were given by liov. W C Alexan
der to Mr. Chas. J Harris and
Miss Lallh Hill.
It was a beautiful homo wed
ding, to which only the intimate
friends and relatives wore in
vited. The bride's sifter, Miss
Fannie Hill, preceded tho bridal
couple to the parlor, after which
the beautiful wedding march,
played by Mr. Kobt. L Keesler,
began. Leaning upon Use arm
of the groom was tho bride robed
in a beautiful traveling suit of
ashes of roses cloth, carrying in
her hand a handsomo boepjet of
bride's roses.
After tho marriago was o'er,
and the many congratulations
were extended by friends, the
nowly marriod couph and friends
repaired to the diniug hall
where an elegant supper was
served. After partaking of the
pleasures of the dining hall the
couple boarded the northbound
vestibulod train for Washington,
New York, Philadelphia and
other northern cities, to be gone
about two weeks.
This marriago is tho joining of
two of Concord's well known
people. Tho groom is a promi
nent bus'uess man of our towu,
while the bride is one of Con
cord's most lovely, beautiful and
popular ladies, and all will join
us in extending the best of con
gratulations to the newly wedded
ones.
As evidences of their esteem
and love, many handsome pres
ents were given to tho bride,
consisting especially of cut glass
articles, a diamond brooch, and
a pearl brooch.
MR. 1)1(1111 WRITES.
Ves He Did Slap That Splrl tuallst
l'raji for Coneord lo He Delivered.
Somo oi' our readers will re
member our brief narration of
an episode in Raleigh in which
Mr. Dughi slapped the spirit
ualist, Dr. Schleisinger, for tell
ing him, by aid of the spirits,
bait his bouncing, hearty boy
was a puny little girl that neo'led
sagi tea, and refusing to be
stow tho foe of if 1.50 on some
cause of charity, in as much as
it was the bargain that value
was guaranteed or money to be
refunded.
Now that tho doctor is heading
this way We are inclined to pub
lish the following letler which
wo feel sure will better meet its
purpose thereby. We feel as
sured from its nature and the ab
sence of any restrictions that the
author will not be offended at our
taking this little liberty:

true I tell you, Mr. Editor, and it
wa. well dono and tho Lord
spare your towu from such a
mean man. You have made a
mistake in tho bottom of your
article that "Dughi was taken in
the hands of tlio "Cops." I had
him before- the magistrate to dis
play his meaness, please correct.

THIS SESSION OF CONGRESS.
Younger Head Sow Taking' the Unci
uf Some of the Old Landmarks The
Demwratlc and Keimhllean Electlona.
Washington, D. C.
Tho battle of legislation is now
yn. The opposing forces aro in
line, aud on Saturday night, the
eve of tho opening of this C!on
gress, tho first skirmish was
fought.
Tho Congress that meets this
week is tho fifty-sixth of tho
United States, but tho first of
Greater Amorica. Tho sceno of
its work will take in tho whole
world.
It will he a great Congress for
young men, and especially for
young men of tho South. The
last political freshet swept away
a "raft" of tho old landmarks.
Younger blood has replaced
them, and youth and vigor and
business-like methods are what
the problems that confront the
fifty-sixth Congress demands.
Boss rule, filibustering, ob
struction, and tho like, will cut
no figuro in this session. There
is a tremendous amount of work
to bo done, and a good start has
already been made.
The caucu3 of House Republi
cans brought forth nothing that
was not already anticipated. Its
whole proceedings were cut and
dried. Gen. D B Henderson was
nominated for speaker by accla
mation and the slate of minor
officials went through without a
single roll-call. It had been
fully expected that Col. Pep
burn would oppose the adoption
of the old "Rood Rules." It was
hoped that a bitter light would
bo waged against them. How
ever, when the vote was finally
taken ou the resolution, which
was offered by Mr. Dalzell, of
tho commit-too on rules, there
was not a dissenting voice. This
means that Republican agitation
against Rood's famous manual
has been stopped, and that the
House majority will have an
united front against criticism of
its procedure.
The elections on tho Demo
cratic side were much more in
teresting. Nearly a live-hour
session and six roll-calls were
required to choose a leader. Jas.
D Richardson, of Tennessee,
was well in front all the time
and was nominated on the sixth
ballot, tho votes of Bankhead
and Kulzer then going to him.
Judge Do Armond, of Missouri,
had a strong following, but the
much touted Sulzor, of Now
ork, was never bettor than a
pour last. ..
This n imination gives Mr.
Richardson the titular leader
ship of the minority, and will
doubtless get him a leading
membership upon thocommittees
on rules and ways and moans.
It is ah-io reported that tho leader
of the minority will havo more
courtesy shown him in tho mat-
I tor of committee assignments
than has been the usual custom.
Speaker Henderson will make
all minority assignments to com
mitloos upon tho recommenda
tion of tho Democratic leader,
thus giving Mr. Richardson a
prominence worth much more
than a mere titlo.
Mr. Richardson is well known
iu Washington. He is a man of
magnetism, tact, and ability, and
will make a good leader.
Altogether, the position of tho
Democrats will be much stronger
and moro harmonious than that
they held during the last Con
gress. The elections of officialM on both
sidts pasHcd off without any ap
parent bickermtrs or heart burn
ings, and for once, we have a
Cougress prepared to start in to
attend to tho people's bufcinesH,
rather than Kpiabblo among
themsolveS.
The crusade ag'dnst Roberts,
the Mormon, winds up with a
spootaoulur climax. Ou the decks
of representative, the petitions
against hiuo bnve been falling
thick 11s snow flake, and per
hnps as little needed. Certuiuly
they did not prevuut Mr. Roberto
from Bittiu? in tho Democratic
cancus, as he naid ail along he
would do. Ila cast bisr vote for
RichardHOU. . f' !
The New( York Journal intro
duced a comio opera specialty in
the shape of a monster anti-Roberta
petitien, said to be the larg
est document of th kind ever
fottennp. In a trinik drawn by
four hore b the huge protests was
hauled through the streets or
Washington, past the hotel
where Roberts is living, and
. stored in rs vault of tho Capitol.
The nioupy furnisLed by Miss
j Helen Gould has secured such
j legal talent aa John G Carlisle
' Hoi other ex -members of Con-
press of lesser fame to draft the
objection to the seating of Rob
erts. Affairs iu the Transvaalhave
arrived at such a serious pitch
that A B Hay, son of Socretary
of Slate Ilcy, has been dosiguatcd
to assume charge of tho Ameri
can Consulate at Pretout
in place of JUr. Maorum, who lias
been . cabled tD return to the
United States.
It is very well understood. here,
although the State Departmect
may not admit it, that tho np
pointmont of anothor oonsul to
take charge at Pretoria is due to
the direct request ot the British
Government.
Such consul will act equalij
as much in tbe interests ot Eng
land as in those of thin country.
Hay, Jr., is a very young iwan,
not more than twtnty-fonr years
of aje, in fact an extremely
young man to ocenpysuch an im
portant post as this.
there is a good deal of inter
est manifested among tho law
makers ns to what role tin
Speaker will p ij in this Congress
In the beginning of the office, t'n
Speaker was merely intended to
be the servant of the House,
iV'-a wrs.ite DJoeter. now it if
toportt-d that Gen. Henderson
will hark lack to tho old d-.iys,
aud run the office on a'polite,
cu-;ary sort of a pbm. Howevei,
the "Reod Rules" aru still in
vouun.
During the I.it Congress the
rules of the pre lor Congress,
the famous "Reed R r ," were
adopted under a promiHethut now
rules vould be reporlod within
inirty aays. mis promise was
never kept.
Now it is intimated that Mr.
iicpunrn, 01 JLOwa, will lean a
fivht fer a rndical chance. It wae
expected that a lively 6ght would
emir in the Republican caucus,
hut such was not the case.
