The President has so tar failed to nomi
jj.nate Judge Mauning as Minister to

general that this appointment will be al

ened by the fact that there is but one

made, and further by un unofficial state
ment bv the President tout all the recess

LAMAR OXA HONEYMOON
A QUIRT MAUHIVOE AT MUS.
HOLT’S HOME AT MACON,
Only a Few Persons! Friends Present
at the Ceremony—The Editor of the
Stindersvllle Herald the Ottteiating
Clergyman List Night Spent with
Gov. Gordon at Atlanta.
Macon, Ga., jail. 6 —Secretary L. Q.
C. Lamar was married to Mrs. Holt,
widow of the late Gen. William S. Holt,
this morning at ino’clock at her residence
on (Arango street, in this city. T'iie
arrangements were quietly planned and
executed and soma time elapsed before
the public was aware that the marriage
had taken place, although a
few suspected us near pres
ence from the mysterious movements
of certain parties last night, who were
known to be interested. Notwithstand
ing the alleged romantic state of affairs
that has existed between tho principals
for some time, the arrangements w hich
culminated in the ceremony were not
consummated until yesterday afternoon,
when it was a creed that tne ceremony
would be performed this morning at 10
o’clock,
THE PUBLIC IN THE DARK.
The only Intimation the public had of
the event wese the movements of inter
ested parties early this morning, when a
number of close carriages were observed
rolling through the heavy snow storm iu
(tic direction ol Mrs. Unit’s residence.
Shortly afterward Air. and Mrs.W.H. Vir
gin entered the house, followed half an
hour afterward by Mrs. William H. Ross
and the Secretary, who crossed the street
from the Ross mansion. Later Col. and
Mrs. J, E. Jones and Maj. VV. H. Ross
were seen to euter the ilo.t residence.
To the neighbors these circumstances
established the fact beyond all guess
work. It was uow a certainty that the
long-expected event was at hand, and
that in a snort time Us story would be the
public’s. Beyond the facts as stated
above and the g, curing of the license by
Col. Win. H. Ross, no other preparations
had been made, except possibly tao order
ing ol a case or two ot champague and
some fruit.
THE CLERGYMAN.
The ceremony was pertormed by Rev.
William Park, of Sandersville, Ga., who
was tne minister of Airs. Holt’s seleotlon.
lie is me biother of Mrs. Holt’s son-in
law, (Japt. R. E. Park, and she had fre
quently heard him perform similar cere
monies, and in a manner widen struck
bar as being peculiarly original and beau
tiful. it was on this account that he was
chosen. He arrived in tho city yesterday
afternoon, and was received by Capt. R.
E. Park and taken to Mrs. Holt’s resi
dence, where the latter lives. In audi
tion to his ministerial duties the Rev. M r.
Park is ado editor ot the Sandersville
Herald and Georgian, ami is a well-known
and respected member of the proiession.
At the hour appended lor the ceretn >ny
to take place tne Rjv. Mr. Park entered
tile parlor. Col. J. E. Jones and wilt,
W. H. Virgin ami wife. Dr. R. M. Patter
son and wife, Mrs. R. E. Park, Alrsl W. ii.
Rous, and Master Willie and Miss Ella
Park, grandchildren of Airs. Hod, had
preceded him and occupied sea s in the
room. The minister conk uis position iu
a recess formed by a bay window.
THE BRIDE AND GROOM.
Shortly afterward me w Mdutg party,
composed of Mrs. Holt, and (Japt. Park,
md Secretary Lamar and Col. Ross, came
in train toe sitting room opposite the par
:or, separating as they entered the hall
way, Secretary Lamar stepping to Airs.
Holt's side and taking hold of her right
hand. Airs. Holt was handsomely attired
in a olose-tUlUtg dress of steel gray silk,
neatly made, anil wore as oruaiu niis dia
monds. The Secretary was dressed in
regulation black. With right hands
joined they entered the room and stood
before the minister. A silence of
a tew seoouds followed. Then In
slow, measured tones the simple
words of the ceremony were pronounced,
and Mrs. Holt was Mrs. Lamar. Con
gratulations were then ottered, being led
by the minister and followed by Airs.
Vi-eio aud Mrs. Park, daughters ol Mrs.
Holt.
lue wedding breakfast was spread in
the dining room, and consisted mainly of
cake, iruit and champagne. There the
members of tne lamily and in
vited guests repaired alter the con
gratulations were finished. Tnere
was nothing formal in the manner in
which it was served. Tne tact that she
was a bride was seemingly forgotten by
Mrs. ilolt, who acted in the capacity di
lady ot the house aud served the detica
cies.
THE WEDDING DINNER.
At 2 o'clock Col. A. It. La tour, of the
Macon Telegraph, joined Uiu party, and
shortly afterwards the wedding dinner
was sorved. K was followed by u season
ot social pastime, which lasted until near

MRS. HOLT’S FATHER.
Cos!. Dean, the lather o! Mrs. Holt, was
a warm personal Irieutl oi Secretary
Lamar, who was at that time a young
man. mid remained so until the latter
went to Mississippi. Gen. Ilolt was a
succssslul n<an in every way, possessing
besides an active mind and a very tine
character. He left his widow and chil
dren an estate valued at from $1511,000 to
$200,000, which, at the time of his death,
was consider-d u large one. The first
meeting between Secretary Lamar and
Mrs. Holt tor several years occurred
hsre last April while the Secretary was
on a visit here. He called on her several
times, and last summer while she so
journed at the resorts he visited her, and
later saw her In New York. Mrs. Holt’s
age Is within two or t-brio years of Secre
tary Lamar’s. She is a uandsomo sped
men of Southern womanhood, and in
manner is quiet and dignified. She pos
s-sses a cultivated mind, whose charms
are recognized through a veil of modesty
that is becoming, and forms ouo of her
chief attractions. Altogether she is
well worthy of the distinguished
gentleman, ’ who has won not
only the hand and heart Of
the South’s model daughter but
tue hand and heart of his own Southern
land by his distinguished representation
in publie of its institutions. The Secre
tary is extensively connected here. His
cousin, Henry J. Lamar, i< a man of con
siderable wealth and noted tor his gener
ous hospitality. Col. Lucius M. Lamar,
United states Aiarshal ior the Southern
District of Georgia, is a first cousin, and
Hon. A. O. liaeon, who was Gov. Gor
don's opponent in the last thotiou, is a
cousin by marriage. Col. Albert R.
Lamar, editor of tbo Macon
Daily Telegraph, and at one
lime Secretary oi the Confederate Con
gress, is another cousin. Airs. U. M. Pat
terson, wuo is a niece of Airs. Howell
Cobb, is ina sister-in-law. Col. William
H. Ross, with whom he stopped while in
Hie city, is a relative by marriage. The
presents received were tew owing to the
suddenness of the event, wblcu passed off
in every way quietly aud unostenta
tious I y.
THE WOOING.
Secretory Lamar is a little beyond 61
years o! age, and is a line-1 Hiking, well
preserved man. His children were very
much in tavor of tne marriage but, it is
said, tbe bride’s children were rather op
posed to It, not because they had any ob
jection to ilr. Lamar but because they
desired to see more of tbeir mother than
they will likely see of her in her \V asu
ington home. Tue Secretary was per
sistent, however, and knowing that the
lady appreciated his affection, and confi
dent that the marriage would result in
happiness to both, urged it w ith eloquence
that could not be resisted. Ho was not a
faint hearted wooer. Ue wss rather a
brave Lochiuvar. Bravery wins in af
fairs ot toe heart as well as in other af
fairs of life,
ALABAMA’S MI NER L LANDS.
Why the Government Withdrew Its
Holdings Trout Sals.
Washington, Jan. o.—The Acting
Secretary of tue Interior to-duy trans
muted to tie Senate a jvspouse from
Commissioner Sparks of the General
Laud Office to the resolution offered by
Senator Morgan, calling tor H.e reasoua
why tbe coal and iron lands in Alabama
have been with held from toile, and
whether any evidence is on tile in the
department which discloses any con
spiracy or comhination unlawlully to
utleet the sale of tbe binds under the
act of March 3, 1883. 'Jos Com
missioner says the proclamation
ordering tlnf sale of these lands was re
voked by the President Jan. 29, 1884, and
the subsequently ordered sule was post
poned indefinitely. This action was taken
in consequence ot communications from
W. 14. Lawson, of Alontgomery, Ala ; G.
W. Paisley, an inspector of the General
Laud Otlice, and Gov. O’Neal of Alabama,
all alleging the existence of a combina
tion to control tbe sale ot these lands.
THE GOVERNOR'S REASONS.
Tiie letter oi the Governor ol Alabama
requested a postponement of the sale (or
the following reasons: First, because by
concert of notion among tuose who desire
to buy, tiie lands would be sacrinoed by
being bid in at a 11trie more, if any, than
the minimum price ol $1 25 peraore;
second, that the sales would result in a
monopoly of the mineral lards, which
would lie held for liiguer prices, and
thus theirdevelojiment would be retarded;
ihird, because a large number of poor
persons who uad settled upon tho lands
would be turned out of their homes.
The report of Inspector Pauley reconi
mends that the sale be postponed, and
says that a secret meeting of mining
companies had been held in Birmingham
for the purpose,it was believed, of iortu
ing a combination to crush all individual
competition and to secure ail these lands
at tuo rate of $1 25 peraore.

Philadelphia, Jan. s.—An enthusias

was held to-day. Speakers advised tbe
strikers to stand firm and promised finan
cial assistance. The local lead is de
nounced the Knights of Labor, and urged
the men to reluse tbe offer of that organ

Some saloonkeepers refuse to sell beer
manufactured at breweries where former
employes aie on a strike, and
the strikers are furnishing them with
beer shipped herefrom New York. The
strikers deliver beer in wagons gaily dec
orated witn German and American flags,
the sides of the wagons being covered
with canvas bearing ' no inscription “Now

Dublin, Jan. s. —Fifty-six men who
were arrested last August at the time
Father Fahey was taken into custody for
resisting the collection of rent and evic
tion on tiie Clanricirilo estate, at Wood
ford county. Galway, wore t >-day sent
enced to various terms of imprlsoum nt,
ranging from twelve to eighteen months.
The Judge who delivered the sentences
censured the Inspectors of Police and
local magistrates for allowing the rioting,'
and declared that no Chief Secretary for

spector General could he justified in giv
ing orders to prevent the police from
assisting sherills in making evictions or
carrying out the processes of the law tor
the collection of rents due.
AIMED AT BULLEIt.
It will be remembered that Gen. Duller,
who was at the time of the Woodford
nets in special military command in Ire
land, had a short time before caused it to
be known tbut he would not permit mili
tary to be usdl in eviction work without
first being convinced that llieir assistance
was absolutely necessary. Tiiis, ol
course, withdrew from the sheriffs the
military upon which they had previously
always relied and With which they were
usually accompanied in their undertak
ings, aud tne lundioriiN contend created a
situation enouuraglug lawlessness and
rioting on the part ot defaulting teuauls.
