The ceremony was performed by the ■llev. F. F. Reese, rector of Christ church. Long before the hour for the ceremony to begin the church which had been beau tifully decorated for the occasion was comfortably filled, the relatives and near friends occupying seats reserved for them. The members of the Adelphcan Society of Wesleyan attended in a’ body. The bride is a graduate of old Wesleyan and an honored member of the society. Precisely at 6 o’clock the approach of the bridal party was heralded by the exquisite strains of Mendelsohns wedding march rendered by Miss Singleton.

The primal marriage blessing It hath not passed away.” Exquisitely sung by Mrs. Ed Schofield. After this the party advanced to the altar rail, where the Impressive service was con cluded. As the bride and groom knelt for the benediction Mrs. Schofield sang the hymn “Deign this Union to Approve," and the newly married couple passed down the aisle the organ playing the wedding maroh as a recessional.

L INDORSED rhe Fracas on the Floor of the House is the Talk of the Whole Town. Mil ELSE COULD BE DO? Is the Question Asked, and the An swer is That He Did Right— Brumm is an Old Member. The Bartlett incident in the house yes terday afternoon was the chief topic of conversation on the streets night and this morning. The approval of Mr. Bartlett’s course is general. More than fifty telegrams were sent out to him yesterday afternoon after The News appeared with the announce ment of the excitement in the house. The first telegram sent out was from his partner and friend, Mr. Washington Des sau. Mr. Dessau a%ked for same more particulars, and received the following re ply from Mr. Bartlett: “In confusion Brumm safd I made a false statement. I immediately resented it. Am justified in it by both Republicans and Democrats. Thank all friends who have telegraphed me. “C. L. Bartlett." In speaking of the incident, the Wash ington correspondent of the Constitution says: “Republican leaders at once antagonized Bailey, and there were angry charges back and forth of an effort to secure unfair po litical advantages. “In an instant there was an uproar. Men in all parts of the house were on their feet shouting at the speaker and at each other to such Tn extent XI at the speaker was absolutely unable to keep any semblance of order. Suddenly, in that portion of the house at the right hand of the speaker, a big burly Republican was soon shaking his fists, and evidently burling imprecations at a Democrat who was but a few desks removed. In an instant the Democrat had darted forward, seized a heavy book which was on Che desk near him, and had hurled it at the Republican. There was a rush of the friends of both men, and for a half a minute the house looked like the Austrian parliament or a French court of justice. Finally the two chief factors in this sensational outbreak were captured by friends and held, but not until the ser geant-at-arms had brought forth the mighty mace, the symbol of house author ity, but only to have himself and it ig nored. Then it was seen that the. combatants were Bartlett of Georgia, and Brumm of Pennsylvania. During the general ex change of civilities between Republicans and Democrats Brumm had called Bart lett a liar. That was enough for the wiry little Georgian, and he lost no time in getting into action. His marksmanship, was not, however, equal to his zeal, and the book flew wide of the mark. For a few minutes it looked as if there would be a genuine riot. “Mears of Indiana, Griggs, DeGßraffen reid ot Texas. Maddox, Gaines and other Democrats found themselves in the thick of it without exactly knowing how they got. there, while there was an equal num ber of excited Republicans about, some ready to fight, others endeavoring to quell the disturbance. Finally Bartlett and Brumm were carried off by friends, and in this section a temporary peace was re stored . Tliis was, however, but one of a series .of sensational episodes. “After the exciting encounter in the house, efforts were made by the friends of Messrs. Bartlett and Brumm to bring them to a peaceful understanding. These efforts have continued this evening, but I understand without much success. Judge Bartlett insists upon an abject apology, but that has not as yet been given. There is the usual quantity or duel talk, and there be further trouble, but the friends of the two men are hopeful of averting it.” It is safe to say that though the Sixth district the course of Mr. Bartlett is ap proved. In fact, he had no other course to "pursue. Brumm is an old member of congress. He has been a member of the house for the last twenty years, and it may be set down as certain that he was the aggressor. At such a Eime as that which provoked the excitement the man who uses unpar liamentary language must take the re sponsibility of his act there and then, and need not complain on account of any abuse of the usages of the house because a mem ber transgresses the rules. Mr. Bartlett’s friends, and his enemies, if he has any in the Sixth, will approve his course and stand with him to the last .gap. He is surrounded by good friends in the house, and even were he alone there he might be depended on to do the right thing. The incident, is, of course, regretted very deeply as one of those unfortunate affairs that has happened in the most au gust bodies at times when the members are inflamed and excited over some ques tion involving not only their own personal honor, hut that of their constituents and the country at large. Mr. Bartlett in congress Is the repre sentative of the people of Georgia, and he stands there to uphold their honor and their cause. Under the circumstances the people of Georgia will feel that Bartlett of Georgia resented an insult offered to the people of Georgia through him. and he took the quickest method of resenting it. It would be the height of impropriety for the people of this■ community to criticise adversely the action of a representative at such a time and under such circumstances. The number of telegrams sent to Mr. Bartlett yesterday will give him assurance of the complete and full support of his constituents and friends throughout the Sixth district. ARRANGEMENTS PERFECTED Oratorical Contest Between Merc?r and Uni versity of Georgia. Mr. John Roach Straton returned from Atlanta yesterday afternoon, where he has been to meet Mr. Weddington, from the University of Georgia and perfect the ar rangements for the oratorical contest .that wall take place in Atlanta on the 20th of May between Mercer and the State Uni versity. .

Pinson preached a sermon on Pentacost at Mulberry Street church last night which has been pronounced the most effective of the series being delivered by him at the special services now in progress. He said, in part, religion is supernatu ral. It has been defined as the life of God in the soul of man. If there had not been a supernatural power aiding and inspiring the early disciples it would have been im possible to have won for Christianity its place in the world. Humanly speaking, they were very inadequate to the task. But God has chosen the weak to confound’ the mighty. ’He could have seized the brush of the lightning and have painted upon the clouds some stupendous wonder that would have transfixed the gaze of men. He could have marshalled the thun der and made a trumpet of the sky, speak ing in such terms as would have smitten mankind dumb with awe; but, waiving the resources of miracle and portent, God has seen fit to entrust to men the work of extending His kingdom and establishing its sway in the hearts of men. But he aids them in this work with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God is like the sunshine. It will ’enter unless it is barred out. We do not have to beg and importune God to send His Spirit to us. The sunshine is beating against the shutters and shades and cur tains with which we exclude it. All that we have to do is to let it in. The Holy Spirit will come in power upon any Christian and any church who will fulfill the conditions fulfilled by the early disciples in the upper chamber at Jerusa lem. They were with one accord in prayer and readiness for service. Thq coaelusien of the service was'suc-h as to make it evident that a divine influ ence had attended the AY ord. The sermon tonight will be preceded- by a song and prayer service beginning at 7:30 o’clock. WORK OF INCENDIARY. judge Balkcom’s Barn Burned in East Ma- . con Last Night. A barn belonging to Judge C. C. Balk com was burn, d tn East Macon last night with several fine hogs and a lot of pro duce." Judge Balkcom says that he firmly be lieves that the fire was the work of an in cendiary as there was no other way for the bulldiag to catch fire. His house caught fire several times while the barn was burn ing, and it took hard work to prevent his dwelling being burned also. UNIVERSITY CRAWFISHING The Statement Made in The News is Verified by One of the Students. ARE AFRAID OF MERCER And Are Making Many Excuses to Get Out of the Game With Them. The statement aht the Athens boys were trying to crawfish out of the game with the Mercer team has been verified by a student from Athens, who says that he has heard the Athens men say that they could hoi hope to beat Mercer this season, and they thought the best tiling to do would be to cancel the game with them. Manager Whitney says that he is deter mined to hold the Athens boys to their contract, as every member of the Mercer team is anxious to get at them. The ex cuse given to the public by the Athens team is that Mercer is out of their class and that Athens has all to lose and noth ing to gain by playing with them. The Mercer boys refuse to accept this, however, as does the public which knows that until last year Athens has never been able to beat Mercer. Next Saturday the team from Auburn, where the football giants grow, will come to .Macon and meet the Tigers in a game, but the Auburn boys cannot play baseball as well as they can play football, and Mer cer cun play baseball better than she can football, so the game wiil not result like the football contests between the two col leges. Auburn played here last season and were ■easy victims for the Macon boys, but they say that they have a team this year that will interest them, and they are coming oyer determined to win. The tans out at Mercer are looking to the game with Suwanee with a good deal of interest, as it is said that this team will bring some of the best, college ball players in the South to Macon. The Tigers are ambitious to arrange a game with Virginia, who has so far con quered all of the Northern and Southern colleges that she has come in contact with. Manager Whitney says that he will try and arrange a game with them. The recent victory of the Tigers have not made them over-confident and loose in their practices. They are still hard at work, as they saw many places where they could strengthen their work in the recent games. The Macon people are with the team, now, and if they continue to pur. up the article of ball that they did the -first two games of the season they will always be liberally supported. OFFICIAL REPORT. On the Smallpox Up to the Present by the Board of Health. The board of health held its regular meeting last night at the city hall. Among other things the report of Chief Sanitary Inspector Jordan was read, and showed a most satisfactory state of af fairs so far as smallpox is concerned. The official report of the status up to the present time shows that there are now only, twenty-one cases in the pest house at the 'park, ttnd that the same number is in the house of detention. Those now at the pest house are all get ting on weli, and in a few days most of them will be discharged. This shows that the disease has practi cally disappeared, and that there has been no spread of it since the active measures towards universal vaccination were en forced. The report is as follows: Total number taken to the pest house— White 3 Colored 60 Total 63 Not sent to the pest house 7 ■Making a total of seventy cases since the first case was discovered some months ago. Discharged from the pest house — White 3 Colored 39 Total 42 Now in the pest house .....21 Committed to the house of detention white 3 Colored 87 Total 90 Transferred from the house of detention to the pest house— IVhite 2 Colored 8 10 Dismissed from the house of detention white 1 Colored .. 58 Total 59 Now In the house of detention: Colored ; 21 As this is the official statement, and it. is absolutely correct, to date, it will be read with the greatest interest by the pub lic, and the people of Macon wiij". feel that the danger has passed. The members of the board of health say that there is every prospect that within a few weeks the need for the pest house and the house of detention will be over. All of the patients are doing well, and there is no fresh outbreak except a scattering case from the districts that have been affected. As a matter of fact there is no danger now. The eases at the pest house are all doing well, and will soon be discharged. Tlrt coun-ty authorities say that they have almost forgotten that there has bebn any smallpox in the county. A case was reported this morning from the same dis trict, but it is the first case in the last two weeks. Neither the authorities of the city or the county are relaxing their precautionary measures, however. This care Is respon sible for the very quick disappearance of the disease. People living outside of Macon can rest assured that this is a true statement of the status of the disease, and as has been the rule with The News the facts as thev exist are reported for the protection of the publie and the people.

DREYFUS’ PRISON LIFE. Absolute Lordluess Without a Human to Speak To. I learn on very good authority that Dreyfus is now practically unrecognizable, wnies a Paris correspondent to the Lon don Telegraph. His hair has turned white, and he is a complete wreck. He exists, and that is all. Tho only wonder is that be still lingers on. Countless persons en dowed with strong constitutions would already have succumbed to the system to which he is subjected. Such is the opinion of those who have watched bi.t« on tho spot, as a letter just received from French Guiana abundantly testifies. Since he has been settled at- the lie du Diable, Dreyfus has only been rarely visited by the govern or of the colony and other officials. Elev en wartiers are told off to guard him night and day, a couple ata time, who are re lieved every two hours. They are strictly enjoined never to speak to the prisoner unless there is some imperative reason for their doing so, and then as briefly as pos sible. Thus Dreyfus spends days and weeks together precluded from converse with a fellow creature. Until the month of July he dwelt in a hut sit uated in the lower part of the island, but he was then removed to a plateau higher up. Tho structure which he now inhabits is about 30 feet in length and 10 feet in breadth. It is divided into two rooms of almost equal size. One, with but two windows looking out on a sort of courtyard, is reserved for Dreyfus, ogress from it being through a door in the parti tion which separates it. from the other chamber, where the warders are posted In front of this hut is a bit of ground some 40 square yards in area, inclosed by a very thick palisade six feet in height, bo that the prisoner cannot catch a glwnpse of the surrounding scenery, but has only a dead wall to gaze upon. The wretched man tried to convert the ground into a little garden, but the soil is so poor and pebbly that he had to give up the idea. When he arrived at the He du Diable, he used to beguile the time by working out algebraical problems*on a slate, but artei’ aw idle ho abandoned the practice, and be now passes hours together in reading and writing letters. As for the provisions with which he is supplied by tho authorities, they are reduced to tho simplest expression, fresh meat alternat ing with bacon, while bread, vegetables, salt and pepper, the last even regarded as a complete the miserable list. Owing, however, to the money which be is per mitted to receive from France—£2Q a month, as is believed—Dreyfus is able to supplement this meager diet and to pro vide himself with good wine, cognac, pre serves and also with cigars, which he smokes continually. Such is the life or rather existence led by this unhappy man, and from which his relatives and friends are endeavoring with might and main free him, while clearing Ins charaute well. ISAAC'S CAFE.
