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 the hour appointed for the departure of tbe Secretary and bis lady lor Atlanta, 0:20 o’clock.

Secretary La mar emphatically denies all ihe stories luat have been published to the contrary and pronounces tnera pure fabrications. 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’S BREWERS. The Men StiH Out anil the Employ, ers Profossinjj to be All Ki“ ht, Philadelphia, Jan. s.—An enthusias tic meeting of the striking beer brewers was held to-day.

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.

The Fret mini’s Journal says that tbe admission of Joseph Uuamberlaln lo tbe Liberal party wfi. be dearly bought it it costs the abandonment of tne vital princi ple in Mr. Gladstone’s Irlsa policy of uu Irish executive, responsible to an Irish Parliament only.
