Bririgeton, X. C, Dec. 19, . On Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock, in the Methodist church at Bridgeton. was solemnised one of the most beauti ful weddings ever seen in this place, when Mr.. Luther E. Gillikin led to the altar Miss Lida Parker. The church was beautifully and, tastefully decorated, with rich green bamboo, and the altar was a mass of ferns and other potted plants and cand les. The color scheme was white and green. At the end of the aisle near the altar was a gate formed of evergreen I under an arch of bamboo. While waiting for the bridal party to arrive Mr. Dave Willis, of New Bern, sweetly sang "0 Promise Me." As the song ended, Miss Bessie Wyatt, who presided at the organ, began to play the bridal chorus from Lohengrin and little Misses Katie Holton and Ruth Pugh came in and opened the gate for the bridal party. The ushers, A. M. Tingle md R. I.. Stalling, came in, next the bridesmaids Miss Edna Parker, of New Bern, and groomsmen, Mr. E. L. Rodden, of New Bern, came in, next the. groom and his best man, Mr. A. W. Parker cime in, the ring bearer, little Miss Charlotte Pitt man, came in bearing the ring on a white satin cushion with cupid in the centre, next caine in the maid of I honor Miss Rojalie Davis, of Swans boro, N. C. The bride came in leaning on the arm of her uncle, Mr. S. D. Park er, who gave her to the groom in front of the altar and Rev. R. E. Pittman, pastor of the church, performed the ceremony in a most impressive manner. During the ceremony intermezzo from Cavalieri Rusticana v was softly and sweetly played by Miss Bessie Wyatt at the organ and Miss Jessie Wyatt with the violin. As the joyful strain of Mendelssohn's wedding march sounded upon the air, the happy ptrty marched to the door. Then they went to the home of Mr. S. D. Parker, where the recept tion was held. Mrs. N. M. Farrow, who wore a gown of black messaline re ceived the guests as they came from the church. The bridesmaid wore a gown of white silk charmeuse trimmed in pea.-ls. The maid of honor wore a gown of white silk messaline draped in chiffon and t.immed with crytal trim ming. The gown of the bride was of white sibyl silk trimmed in real lace and silk fringe with the bridal veil caught up with orange blossoms. The groomsman wore conventional black. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester G. Parker and is one of Bridgeton'a most cha.-nting young ladies. The groom is a most honored young man of Beaufort, N. C. Their many friends wish them a long and happy married life. They were the recipients of many handsone and use ful presents. Washington, N. C, Dec. 20. Hav ing been a very weU behaved and friendly animal all his life, the keeper of Tony, a wrestling bear with the outfit of James Adams, proprietor of a floating vaudeville theatre now building at a local shipyard, was surprised by an exS4Hfc hug and rough treatment. The bea,- knocked the man down, slapped him in the face sufficiently hard to loosen sev eral teeth and start his nose to bleed ing, and finally embraced him with a zeal that was decidedly uncomfort able for the then prostrate keeper. When he escaped the trainer started an investigation. It developed that Tony, a native of North Carolina and who has a liking for soda water in bottles, had been a host to unscrupu lous friends. He was literally beast ly drunk. His antics for sonic time were so unusual that the kecpe stayed out of the bear's range. BUYS OUT FIRM. New Bern Drummer Business.

Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion, and "Battling" Jim Johnson, of Galveston, Texas, an other negro pugilist, met in a 10-round contest here tonight which ended in a draw. The spectators loudly pro tested throughout that the men were not fighting', and demanded thei. money back. The organizers of the fight asserted that Jack Johnson's left arm was broken in the third round. There is no confirmation of a re port that Jack Johnson had been stab bed, and no evidence at the ringside of such an incident. During the first three rounds he was obviously playing with his opponent. Later it was pb served that he used only his right hand. After the fight he complained that his arm had been injured. Doctors certified to a slight fracture of the radius of ths left arm. aV sbbbbbbbbbbW aaaaH FORMER NEW BERNIAN DEAD, John A. P. Lane Passes Away In Florida Mr. John A. P.

Hans Schmidt's strange behaviour here and in Germany was described by witnesses for the defense today at hit fial for mudcr Schmidt's attorneys are attempting to prove that he was insane when he killed Anna Aumuller and had been insane for many years before. These were some of his acts the witnesses told about. When a priest in Bermany he often went about his duties barelegged and clad only in Cassock. A clerical friend in Munich found him one day naked in the bath tub playing the violin. . While serving as a priest at St. Boniface church, New York, he per formed baptisms contrary to rule and did not hesitate to impoverish his own ritual. The defense presented a statement made by an examiner in lunacy for the Royal Superior Court of Munich, Germunv. that Schmidt waj insane when he was arrested in Germany for forgery. It is said that the fight in the Third Congressional District will be a three corned affair; George E. Hood, of Golds boro, and Ex-Congressman Charles R. Thomas will both be in the race for Congressman Fjison's scalp. We do not know much about politics in that neck of the woods, but we do know that Charles R. Thomas should have been kept in Congress four years ago, when Dr. Faison was elected. And we believe that the people of that district will make a serious mistake if they neglect this opportunity to return Mr. I nomas to Congress, Usually at this season of the year the law breaking element of every city get to feeling rather "chesty" over the approaching Christmas Day, and either load upon spirit us frumenti and go on the warpath or create disturbances in some other manner. So far there has been little or no rowdyism in New Bern and the police are of the opinion that there will be no disorderly conduct during the whole season. During the past week Mayor Bangert had less than a dozen cases on his dock et and these were of a trivial nature. While the police will be as lenient as possible they will tolerate no infringe ments of the law and will preserve the best order possible. TRAIN TO ORIENTAL ON CHRIST MAS DAY. In order to let the public know that there is no truth in the rumor that the train to Oriental and other points in Pamlico county will be annulled oa Christmas Day, the Norfolk Southera Railway Company states that the regu lar service will be in operation on that date. PRES. HUERTA RELEASES AMERICAN PRISONERS Intercession Of O'Shaughnessy Successful in Cases of Kidder, Krause and Parker Guayamas Garri on Surrenders to Rebels. Disarmed by Ojeda Society THE TURN OF THE TIDE. Mexico City, Dec. 20. By appealing directly to Genera! lluerta today Nel son O'Shaughnessy, .American charge d'affaires, ebtained from him almost immediately unequivocal consent to the release of three Americans now in jail, whose liberation has long been delayed by legal maneuvering. The men or dered set free by General Hnerta are H. J. Kidder, William Krause and John Baker. It developed apparently that Genera! Huerta had known nothing of the in carceration of the men or efforts that had been made by Mr. O'Shaughnessy to procure their nelease. He declared that as long as he is president he would not countenance any discrimination against Americans or any persecution of them because of nationality. Parker is in jail at San Luis Potosi. He is charged with being implicated in a murder. Krause and Kidder are in jail here. The cases against the men are not to be dismissed, but the men will not be forced to remain in jail. The conditions of release oblige tin men to present themselves at the American embassy. Garrison Surrenders. Torres, Sonora, Mex., Dec. 20.

Northern Mexico Quiet. Juarez, Dec. 20. The situation in northern Mexico today appeared to be one of waiting, so far as military oper ations were concerned. Villa, rebel chief at Chihuahua, was waiting for word where he was to be joined by General Carranza, head of the revolu tion, who now is at Hermosillo. At Ojinaga, where practically all the northern federal forces are camped preparations continued for what ap !arcd to be a departure from that place. General Mcrcado, federal com mander who is to be relieved of active campaigning, had said he intended to march against Chihuahua, but others believed the federals had another plan in mind, possibly an advance on Juarez.

When it was learned that he had gone in the direction of New Bern the warrant was sent there by Justice Harriss.

Slack water, and a night breft of stars; A bitter wind blows in from out the dark, And I go seaward with the turning tide. The yellow lights that blink across the night, i The fragrance of salt marsh, the inces sant whisper Of waves upon the rocks these things have been Blood of my blood, bone of my bone since birth. The dear loved fares that have filled my years, The voices 1 would know across the world, These will remain aiid one by one be numbered With those that vanish from the kindly shore. New lands, new faces, yes' it may be peace; But never again the old familiar greet ing, The homely word, the honest smile that lights. The worn and furrowed face with holi- Day after day sails vanish into silence, And we who linger wonder and are still Then in the night the call, insistent, low, Offering the heart nor joy nor grief, But keen-edged as a sword that shears away The treasure of the dear remembered year j. The rhythmic clap of halyard, the main mast Sounds from the darkness anchor chains Speak of the current setting to the sea, And I go forever with the tide.
