Carr ot this city and Miss Bettie May Hunt ol Oxford were united, in marriage by Rev. S. S. Bost, rector of the cliurch named. This was a surprise marriage, the couple slipping off from Oxford last evehing and coming, here on the early evening train. At the marriage Prof. W. D. Carmichael was best man and Miss Ethel Herndon, cousin of the bride, maid of honor. Dr. Carr went over to Oxford Satur day.evening to call on Miss Hunt, who had but recently left here after a visit to relatives. Yesterday morning he asked the uncle of Miss Hunt, Mr. Samue W. Parker, with whom she lired, for his- consent to ; the marriage. He refused his immediate consent and said that later on, probably next June, he would take the matter under con sideration. But the couple had decided to marry. Leaving home i- the after- the Episcopal church ! noon they caught the train over to this city, and left a note to be delivered to Mr. Farker at 7 o'clock. In this note they told him tfcat they would be mar ried when he received it. But their trouDies were not an j when they reacned nere. r or tial practice during the short time since he left college. For a while he was associated witn his father, but for some time has been practicing on his own account. Miss Hunt is about 20 years of age and a very pretty woman. She was educated at Peace Institute. Recently she spent some time here on a visit to -relatives, and it ws.s known among friends that the two were in love. The announcement of the mar riage last night, however, was a-, great surprise. They have taken rooms with the parents of Dr. Carr. 4- Root Will Retire Februany 1st and Will Be Succeed ed by Taft pound of meat here and yonder, and a few pounds at a time, while they shiv er over a little fire.

Sketch of a rDJtlasutbtd Alumnus (University, Chapel Hill., Tar Heel.) Hon. Samuel Field Phillips of Wash ington City died there on the ISth of l.ovember last and was buried in the cemetery at Chapel Hill on the 21st. Rev. Dr. Ephraim Harding of the Presbyterian church, officiated at the funeral.

Enough dyna mite, if properly used, to displace eight or nine tons of rock and work a great amount of damage, was found this morning in a pile of tile3 at the new Acker, Merrill & Condit building in West Forty-third street, where an explosion Sunday morning partly wrecked a hoisting engine used by the iron workers. Evidence also discovered that there had been an explosion In the Broadway Tabernacle building at Fifty-sixth street and Broadway, where an at tempt had been made to blow up one of the main supports of the building. The executive committee of the Iron League met today and offered a re ward of $500 for the arrest and con viction of the persons responsible for the explosion. The police believe the" explosions were the result of a prearranged plan on the part of some one in the Sam Parks gang to cripple work on the buildings which are being erected by members of the Employers' Association, and if pos sible "throw a scare" into the members of the New York Housesmith's Union, who have take nthe places of the Sam Parks crowd. At all the buildings be ing put up members of the Employers' Association police were stationed .to day. They will be kept there at night in tl d future to prevent any more dynamiting. Private detectives have also been employed by the Employers' Association. RUSSIA'S REPLY It Is Believed to Be a Conces sion of Japan's Demands London, Dec. 14. The British foreign office has received Russia's reply to Japan in regard to affairs in the fai east. Baron Hayashf, the Japanese minister to Great Britain, told the cor respondent of The Sun that the reply was in such form as to strengthen his belief that peace will remain unbroken. TZ - Central News says that the Rus sian reply practically concedes all the demands made by Japan, and that th, completion of the negotiations is now merely awaiting the gig-nature of the interested powers. h London. Dec.- 5. Russia's ' renly to Japan remains secrat. Unofficial re ports as to the tenor of the reply dis play a pessimistic tendency. Telegrams from Tokio express the belief of well informed Japanese poli ticians that, although the reply makes some concessions, there is a wide . dif ference between it and the pacific as surances given out at St. Petersburg and that it is far short of complying with the Jepanese demands. The pro longation of the negotiations necessi tated by the reply causes an undercur rent of uneasiness, although the hope of a peaceful settlement is not dimin ished. The Morning Post says it learns from official sources in London that the reply is unsatisfactory. The paper says it is not to be assumed that the reply will, terminate the negotiations.

He was offered by Gov ernor Caldwell a judgeship of the su preme court but declined it. He ac cepted, however, the nomination of his party, the Republican, for the attor ney generalship, but failed of election because of the very unpopular move ment of Governor Holden in declaring Alamance"and Caswell in a state of in surrection.and arresting prominent citi zens by armed soldiers. He was then advanced to the distinguished office of solicitor general of the United States and removed his family to the seat of the government. He held this posi tion from 1S73 to 1S83, and afterward opejied a law office in Washington anu did not retire from the law until two years before his death. He was a deeply learned lawyer and a most forcible speaker. He had also a wide acquaintance with literature, ancient as well as modern. In recognition of this this university conferred on him the degree of L.L.D. in 1S79.- Mr. Phillips had a deep fondness for his Alma Mater ,and contributed liber ally to its revival in 1S75. He had an abiding love for the people among whom he spent his early years, and requested that his body be laid to rest "in the woods of Chapel Hill."

The court which has been hearing the arguments in tne case of "Tod" Sloan, the American jockey, against the French Jockey cud for $40,000 damages for being warned off the turf in connection with Rose DeMai's winning the Prix De Daine at Chantilly last May, today found in condemned the jockey club to pay the costs, the amount of which will be assessed later.
