The following account of the mar riage of Mr. M. B. Shrler, of this city and Miss Minnie Bendbelm, of Alex andria, Is taken from yesterdays Alex andria Gazettes. Mr. Magnus B. Shrier, of Greens boro, N. C, and Miss Minnie Bend heim, daughter of Mr. D. Bendhelm, of this city, were married in Odd Fel lows' Hall, on North Columbus street, last night. The ceremony was per formed by Rabbi Stern, of Washing' ton. The bride was becomingly at- tirad in white silk, with lace veil and carried bride roses. She entered the hall on the arm of her father, and was met at the altar by the groom. The groom was attended by his cousin, Jacob Shrier and Miss Shrier acted as maid of honor. The ushers were J . B. Shrier, J. Dreyfus, Aleck Kauf mann, F. Bendheim, Sol. Meyer and L. Ruben. After the ceremony an elaborate reception was held and dancing was kept up until a late hour. Guests were present from Greensboro, Washington, Cleveland, Baltimore and elsewhere. Mr. and Mrs. Shrier will reside in Greensboro. It was generally conceded that the entire af fair was one of the pleasantest ever witnessed in Alexandria. ONE fllLLION DOLLARS. The Capitalization of the Cotton Flan nel Factory Company. The news has already been given in these columns that another new enter prise of mammoth proportions is to be installed in Greensboro. Writing about this Mr. G. T. Kearsley eays in the Manufacturers' Record of this week: The most important development of the week at this point has been the closing of contracts, securing to Greensboro the enterprise referred to in my last letter, which is a mill for manufacturing cotton flannels. The company is headed by Messrs. E & H. Sternberger, of Clio, S. C; Cone Ex port & Commission Co., of Greens boro, aud interests are also held by northern capitalists. This company has a capitalization of $1,000,000, of which $300,000 has been paid in, and the plant will be promptly installed, which is claimed will be the largest cotton mill in the south, with one ex ception. Cotton flannel is now exclusively manufactured in the north, and this development is but another evidence of facilities offered by this section In the manufacture of cotton fabrics.

Manila, Feb 24 -Owing to the whole sale arrests of all suspected Filipinos yesterday and the clearance of the streets by seven-o'clock last night the threatened renewal of the scenes of the previous night did not occur wiih the exception of a few shots in the neigh borhood of the penitentiary. The city is quiet as possib e, but outside of Manila the rebels are very active. Near Caloocan '..there have been sev eral l'jrely skirmishes. At daylight the enemy was driven back with se vere loss.

Despite the excitement of the past two days, business is proceeding as usual and there is general confidence in the abil- ty of the authorities to maintain order. American women were sent on board transport to safeguard them against danger. Sharpshooting has practi cally ceased but there is continued skirmishing. In McArthur's front one American was killed and four wounded this morning. The Utah battery this morning bombarded the church San Francisco Delmoote, which was used by the insurgents as a fortress from which they attacked the South Dako ta's yesterday. An Atrocious Negro Jonesboro, Feb. 22 Some time ago there appeared in the town a .negro by the name of George Edwards, who claimed to be a clergyman of the Bap tist church. He was modest and hum ble in his way, and was not long in gaining the affections of Penny Mc Coy, twenty years his senior, and who is possessed of some cash and a good act of ground. They were married. It turns out that the negro is- not a preacher, but a veritable demon. In the last month he has beaten his wife cruelly several times; tied her out in the yard during the cold snap; stuck a pitchfork in her arm; and finally, last Saturday, stuck the prong of an iron table fork in the old woman's eye, destroying the sight thereof. It was only by accident that his atrocities became known. The negroes were on the point of lynching him. But he is now safe in jail at Carthage, and Penny doesn't waut to see him any m"re.

Lawrence PulliahV formerly one of the most., pobular, ,oen in Western Morta c&rouoa was brought to Greensboro last n'ght,-hy Deputy Marshal H. M.' MoCUand J. H Shine, of San FranciseoV'Cal., and turned over to I Marshal Milllkan who placed him in jail. ' The case of Lawrence Pulliam Is a sad and remarkable one. He was at one time looked Upon as one of the brightest men in hi section nd when Judge Douglas wgS$ marshal of the Western district, be, appointed Pulliam his chief deputy. Later he held the position of cashier V of "the National Bank, of AshevlU: He occupied high place in the society of that city. In 1893 he defaultid , and absconded with several thousand dollars and since that time nothing had been heard from him until, on the 20th of January last he confessed his crime and sur rendered to the authorities at Oakland California. He was brought back to North Car olina disgraced and looking little better than a tramp. ' He has a bright eye, an nnttsually intelligent face, his shoulders are somewhat bent and. hi look despond ent. There is little fn bis personal appearance to recall toe high position which he once so acceptably filled. He will have nothing whatever to say of his trouble and in talking to Marshal MiUikan said nothing except that he thought he would be able to give the bond of $5,000 required of him. He told Mr. Milllkan that he would an swer no quesions and &sk none. He is now in jail here, where if he is unab'e to give bond, he will be kept until the special trm of Federal court which convenes in Asherille on March 6th. Charlotte Loses im Gemmittee.

A correspondent from Florence, S. C, writing to the Charleston News and Courier has the following to say of the recent extreme weather: "As to the birds, there will be very few left at all. Hundred of doves were found frozen to death. The bluebirds will be a thing of the past, for there were a very few of them left before the free e, and now they are almost com pletely wiped out. Hundreds of robins, old field spar rows, partridges and--even pigeons, have, been frOsen and dead. Buzzards came very near falling by the wayside. Yesterday and today they could be seen in endless numbers in the fields and swamps and even in the yards about town in a half frosen condition, picking up scraps of anything they could feed on. The only bird that seems to have stood the cold without bodily harm was the pestiferous English sparrow. He is still in existence, and will con tinue to eat up growing vegetables and multiply ten fold. Bulgariavbr Azores. . - By Cable to Th Tdjobav.

KITCHIN ON THE AUENDUENT. Washington Newspaper Man to Wed In Ashwville Thought General Wheeler has lost his Seat. Bpeelai to the Telegram. Washington, Feb. 24 The refusal of toe house of representatives yesterday afternoon to consider the Virginia contested election case of Brown vs. Swanson, will end all efforts to- get the case, before the house at tills session, and Mr. Swanson will retain his seat until the end of his term. The vote against consideration yesterday was even more emphatic than on the last occasion when Representative CrUmpacker attempted to get the case before the house. General Walker, chairman of the committee, was not present when the vote was taken. The vote yesterday, which is virtually a vote declaring Mr. Swanson entitled to the seat, is very gratifying to his friends who have stood by him in his contest. Many republicans believe that he was legally elected over his republican opponent, and expressed this opinion by voting in the affirma tive. Other republicans who believe Mr. Swanson entitled to his seat, but who did not care to go on record against the motion to consider, found it convenient to attend to other busi ness yesterday, which required their presence outside of the legislative hall during the voting. The consequence was that when the bouse met yesterday there was a scant attendance on the republican side ot the ohamber, while there was a correspondingly large rep resentation on the democratic side of the house. There are a few other contested elec tion oases from the south remaining on the house calendar, including two cases from South Carolina, one of them being a contest for the seat of Representative Elliott. It is not likely that any of the remaining cases will be considered, as the house does net seem disposed to waste its time in their consideration during the last days of the session, when there is Ukely to be a rush of business which it important should be disposed of before adjournment. Representative Kitchiu, of North Carolina, the only democratic member of the present house from the state, and who will also be a member of the next congress, says that the amend ment to the constitution regarding elections in North Carolina, will pass by a large majority. The people of the state, he sayr, are determined to add the amendment to the constitution of the state, and he thinks that it will rid the state of negro rule, and of the. disgraceful acts which have character- zed the fusion regime in the state. Mr. Kitchin does not think there is the slightest ground for the law being declared unconstitutional. The southern contingent in Washi ngton is much, interested in the ap proaching marriage of Miss Lulu Dressel, formerly of Columbus, Ohio, who is now living with her mother at Asheville, North Carolina, to Mr. Howard N. Thompson, a well known Washington correspondent. The wed ding, it is said will be very quiet, and will take place early in March at Ash- ville. Mr. Thompson is connected with the Associated Press, and with several newspapers in the south. It is thought that the house will adopt the report of the committee in whioh they declare that Gen. Wheeler and other members of the house, who accepted commissions in the volunteer army have lost their seats in congress. The decision of the house in this mat ter may have an important bearing in the West Virginia senatorial contest of McGraw against Scott, as Scott was elected by the votes of two mem bers of the Legislature who served in the volunteer army. McGraw does not claim to have been elected, but his claim is that there has been no elec tion. Senator Butler from the senate na val committee has reported a bill for the relief of Julius A. Kaiser. The bill is reported favorably by the com mittee, and without amendment. Dr. J. L. Moore and wife, of North Carolina, were in the city yesterday morning. They registered at the Met ropolitan Hotel. Mrs. A. C. Avery, of North Caroli na, has joined her husband here, the atter "having been in Washington for several days this week. Mr. H. C. Myers, of Schuyler, N. C, is at the St. James Hotel.

Bills have been introduced by Messrs. Carroll, of Alamance, and Clarkson, of Mecklenburg, which have for their purpose the adoption of wide tires on all wagons and other draft vehicles, and it is greatly to be hoped that these bills will be adopted for &V of the counties in the state. They levy no taxes; they Impose no fines or pen alties; they do not compel any one to use wide tires; and in order to do so throw away wagons or narrow-tired wheels; they simply encourage peo ple to use wide tires, whenever new wagons or new wheels for old wagons need to be purchased. It is generally admitted that macadam roads are too expensive to be generally adopted in North Caro lina. It- is also generally admitted that while the dirt roads are the least expensive to build, they are the most costly roads to use, especially during the winter season, when the surfaces are softened by rain and cut to pieces by the narrow wheels. But all ex periments and experience go to show that the use of wide tires on the dirt roads, whether these roads be of sand or clay, not only does not cut the road to pieces, but actually packs and smooths the surface, consequently the use of wide tires benefits the road and hence we should do everything possi ble to encourage the use of these wide tires on the public roads of the state. This will be accomplished by the adop tion of the bills proposed by Messrs. Carroll and Clarkson, which simply provide that any person using wide- tired wagons can, for a limited num ber of years, be relieved of a portion of his road tax, not . exceeding one half of the road tax paid by such per son during any year. It is wise to adopt this measure, as it will set the people to thinking about the wide tires; will encourage and help them to make the change; and this measure works no hardship on people not using or own ing wagons, for the reason that the adoption of the wide tire beneQts the road more than would the payment of this part of a man's road tax.
