Obstacles frequently arise to thwart Cupid's will and are as often thrust aside or overcome by the Intrepid little god. And so an Instance which culmi nated In this city yesterday was no ex ception to the rule and the young couple who left their home in Pikeville, Wayne county, bound for Goldsboro for the p-urpose of celebrating their nuptials, but who were unable to ob tain license there qn account of the absence of the vendor of such docu ments, were duly and truly united in the holy bonds of wedlock In the re gister of deeds' office In this city yes terday morning, Rev. J. H. Griffith, Jr., solemnizing the event with the beautiful and impressive Episoopal ceremony. Mr. Chas. C. Smith and Miss Mollie Edmundson, accompanied by Mr. P. B. Scott, all of Wayne, alighted from the "shoofly" train from Goldsboro yesterday morning and made their way to the register of deeds' office where license was obtained and the parson sent for to bind the two aspirants for matrimonial honors, for aye and eter nity. Immediately following the ceremony the happy couple left on the 10 o'clock train for home. The marriage bore the earmarks of a runaway match, though why was not learned, as the parties were both of proper marriageable age. The bride was a very pretty young lady and the groom a substanial looking young man. Rountree & Co.'s Letter. New York, Aug. 6th, 1904. Dear Sir: Trading in cotton for future delivery has been on a moderate scale, with rather narrow fluctuations and aa easier tendency to prices'. The principle .feature of the week was the monthly report by the Govern ment Agricultural Bureau which made the average condition 91.6, which has been exceeded only once in August during fifteen years. The acreage planted Is the largest ever recorded, so, with the favorable prospect re ported lt is thought a record breaking crop may be grown. Weather conditions, as a whole, have been of a favorable character, the only exceptions being some dam age from heavy rains in portions, of Arkansas and Mississippi, and com plaint is also made of damage from the boll weevil in southwestern Texas. Spot cotton has moved very slow, spinners generally being disinclined to buy, closing steady at 10.45 for middling. Cotton goods are reported very quiet and slow of sale. While the market looks high enough with the reported crop prospects, the near future will continue to be con trolled by reports received from and about the growing crop. Yours very truly, P.. H.

Twenty-Five Thousand Men and Their Families Ma-ch to the Music of a Dozen BanJs. Chicago, Aug. 6. The stockyards strikers forgot their animosities and troubles today long enough to join In a peaceable demonstration, the first time since the strike was called, near ly four weeks ago. In a street parade several miles in length, fully 24,000 strikers and their families, encircling the stockyards district, marched to the music from a dozen bands. The demon stration ended with a picnio at Os wald's Grove, where addresses were made by prominent labor leaders. there was peace and quiet around the big packing plants at the stockyards. The question of extending the strike by involving the teamsters was held In abeyance. The committee of the al lied trades unions, which wss appoint ed to take up the question of ordering out the truck and coal teamsters, met early in the day, but adjourned on ab count of the merry-making. The ques tion of shutting off the Ice supply at the yards will also wait until Monday'. While the strikers were at their sport, the packers kept up their work of killing and shipping. The usual number of non-union men were Vre ceived at the different plants and put to work. Country butchers were num erous among today's arrivals, and In a statement Issued by the packers to night it is asserted that a few more days like today will put them in 'such. a position tbat lt will be necessary to add to the forces of the butchering and casing departments. ?VV ' The run on the Drovers' Trust and Savings Bank came to an end today.

Raleigh Post Dr. F. L. Stevens, of the faculty f the A. & M. College, has returned from Granville county where .he went for the North Carolinaexperiment sta tion to investigate the reports of a dis ease destroying tobacco." Dr. Stevens found an area about 22 by 18 miles infected with a serious soil disease which is playing havoc with' the crop. This place is in the 'very center of the bright or golden tobacco belt, which has been producing a high grade weed. The complaint causes the leaves to wilt and finally reaches the root and kills the plant Dr. Stevens ays that the disease is extending Into a wider territory each year. The only remedy suggested is to try some other crop on bank, stating in substance that the land and perhaps within 20 year's the disease may be eradicated. ; For Coroner.

PORT ARTHUR CAN'T HOLDOUT LONG Is the Opinion of a Russian Refugee '. from the Fortress. Battle in Pro gross Before Liao Tang. Paris, Aug. 6 The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Matin learns that a(tight Is in progress before L'.ao Yang between the armis of General Xurokl and General Kuropatkln. V Tne Echo de Paris hears from St. Petersburg that General Kuropatkln has decided to command in person the southern army, which is facing Gene rals Nodzu and Oku, instructing Gene rals Kutchensky and Bilderling to keep General Kurokl engaged. This decision is due to a telegram from the czar, asking General Kuropatkln why he continually fought only to reteat. General Kuropatkln replied that his men were exhausted by fatigue and the heat. The Siberian soldiers, he aid, were heavy men and unused to mountain, work, and the reservists were too old. He said he . wanted younger men in their stead, as men o 35 and 40 years of age were unable to march. Cbefoo, Aug. 6. "Port Arthur cer tainly will-fall inside of one or two months, depending on how fast the Japanese move." This opinion was expressed today by an educated Russian who has just arrived here from Port Arthur by a junk. He had fifteen companions, but the party left the Russian strong hold, six days ago. They suffered much hardship on the trip over from lack of food and water. The. Russian who voiced the fore going opinion occupied an -Important semi-official position at Port Anhur, and his views are regarded as valua ble. He says that while the Japanese CpiutaBtlyreaeive re-inforcetnents, every Russian casualty decreases the defenders efficiency of the garrison as the Russians cannot be re-inforced. General Stoessel, commander-in-chief at Port Arthur is compelled to hus band his ammunition. He can manu facture shells, but It Is impossible to to make proper explosives. The ne cessity of protecting the men for the final atand explains the retreat of the Russians from the strong outpost posi tion, where their losses were far less serious than those sustained by the as sailants. According to this Russian, General Stoessell 14 in daily communication with General Kuropatkln. The three days fighting of last week was done chiefly with artillery. London, Aug. 6. If the statements la the dispatch from Nlu-Chwang printed today are correct, and reports from the Associated Press correspon dent at that point have hitherto prov ed among the most reliable from the far east, the Japanese have probably by this time succeeded in their plan to surround the Russian army on all four sides. In previous discussions of the Japa nese enveloping movement it has been stated that the only way of retreat for Kuropatkln, in the event of a defeat, would be to the westward. The Japa nese are apparently prepare 1 for this movement.' The Liao river is naviga ble for gunboats for 100 miles, which means thai a movement west or even nortnwest of Liao Yang could be in tercepted. " ' - The coming engagement, as military experts have pointed out, will be the supreme test of Japanese leadership. Paris, Aug. 6. Never has interest in the -Russo-Japares-j war reached such intensity aa now, and the public are awaiting with bated breath news of the next move in the vital game of strategy between Generals Kurokl and Kuropatkln.- 'I In military circles the belief I that Kuropatkln's best chance of safety lies in a further retreat, but the fear is , very generally -expressed, that he has been cleverly outmanoeuvred " by his nntagonist 4nd must now either fight or capitulate. As tie is unlikely to accept the second alternative a ter rific" battle is imminent, and though there is no betting On the subject, for Frenchmen would reprove such levity, with their ally's fate hanging in the balance, there are very few who do not hold that the odds ari strongly li ' favor of the Japanese. , ! ; s ; I Mad Bull on Rampage. The "bull in the China shop" adage i has done service for along time and there are those in this city who will attest tha't a mad bull in a tobacco j warehouse can create some little excite- ment also. I Such was the case this morning when a young man by the name of Harper took one to the Central ware- house for the purpose of having him weighed. After his bovine majesty had been placed on the scales and the correct number of pounds registered, he raised his kingly head and survey ing the assembled crowd reached the conclusion that they were gathered there to witness a bull fight. Believing the time had arrived for beginning the performance he selected "Uncle" Sam Sugg for the toreador with whom he was to do battle and with lowered head and a bellow that shook the building made the charge. "Uncle Sam made his exit through the door as also did the bull, both lighting after a transit of several feet through the air, the young man Harper, who had hold of the rope, following short ly after. He was gotten back into the warehouse after some bit, but Instead of being quieted was as thoroughly aroused as if a red rag bad been flaunted lu his face and the way he did scatter the audience would have made a Sphinx smile, charging and counter-charging on first one side the warehouse and then the other. The failure to impale any one fren zied the bovine and turning on his owner he dashed at htm and the two connected in such manner as to afford a seat, if not a comfortable one, for transportation and the two went but of the warehouse together, with Mr. Har per tremblingly sitting between the victorious bull's boms. This part of the performance came to end after awhile without any serious, damage to Mr. Harper and he, being of sound heart, will soon recover from the shock. Mad bulls are bad things, and when they decide to take a fortress the most discreet thing for the enemy to- do is, to retreat in as good order as possible. Foreigners Scrap. A right lively scrap occurred this morning in the foreign colony of the city, between Farry Shaheen, repre' seating the Assyrian colors, and D. Sternberg and L. Lindy doing the honors for Busso-Jewdom. The trouble arose because Shaheen, who is a peddler and was keeping his trunk of trinklets in Lindy &, Stern berg's place, did not remove his trap pings from the store on request as soon as the proprietors thought he ought to. The jumble of Yiddish expletives and Assyrian "cuss" words attracted the attention of the neighbors who went to the scene of hostilities and acted as mediators before uncondl- tlon surrender had been brought about by either side. In the melee it is said that in one of the fiercest charges Sternberg had his finger right badly chewed up and the bridge of Shaheen's nose suffered considerably by coming lnoontactwlth a broom handle wielded by one of the Jewish belligerents. The effort to tell the mayor how it happened this morning furnishedsome amusement to spectators at the matinee in "calamity" hall because .of the ina blllty of the combatants to cope with the English language. . Interpreters were called in and after quite awhile suffici ent knowledge of the affair was ob tained by the mayor for him to deter mine the more guilty and Shaheen and Sternberg were required to ante 12.00 and coats each, in ooin of the American realm.,-:.''' . ....... :,..
