She was a bright and lovely child and her death is a sad blow to the fond parents. The Meetings at St. Luke. The protracted meetings that have bpen held at St . Luke church for th^past two weeks closed latt night. The pastor gave notice that a prayer meeting would beheld this morning at 9 o’clock, •tier which the Woman’s Missionary Society would hold a business meeting. Sendees at the Synagogue To-Night. Services at the synagogue will be held to-night at the usual time (7:30), and Rev. Charles L. Weiss will discuss the subject: “Could men of ancient times solvo mysteries better than men of the present times?” Sabbath (to-morrow) morn ing divine service will be held in German. All are welcome. Died Near Atlanta. Miss Lucy Ely died near Atlanta yesterday morning, and her remains will be brought to this city to-day fbr interment. She was a daughter of the late Mr. Marcus Ely, who taught school in Browneville a year or two ago, and she had many fViends here who will be grieved by the announcement of her death. Married Last Night. Ma James W. Moon and Miss Lizzie Elliott, both of Browneville, were married in this city last night. Rev. W. A. Huckabee, pastor of the Broad Street Methodist church, performed the ceremony. Quite a number of friends witnessed the marriage, and wished the happy couple a flit lire of peace and prosperity. The Report Denied. The Eufhula correspondent of the Montgomery Advertiser writes that paper as follows: “An un fortunate rumor that a Mr. Hightower, a rejected suitor, had shot and killed Miss Ella Wingate, a young lady well known in Eufaula, and a resi dent of Henry county, gained circulation teu days ago. Your correspondent did not wire you of it when he knew the report was baseless for very proper reasons, but is constrained now to give it a denial in your columns.” Rase Rail in Hirm inn hum. The Birmingham Age says: “A large amount was subscribed yesterday to the stock of the base ball association, and the entire stock will proba bly be taken to-day. The Birmingham and Pratt Mines Street Railway Company is very anxious to secure the grounds on their line, and will make a liberal offer for them. The other compa- nies have not been heard from yet, but It is likely they will all make a bid for the grounds, as it means hundreds of dollars to the company upon whose lines the park may be located. Base ball fornishes cheap and pleasant amusement during the summer months, and there should be no trouble in securiug all the stock necessary to secure a good nine.” Will be Among You. Mr. Revill, editor and proprietor of the Green ville Vindicator, will be in the city to-day and will call upon out business men in the interest of his paper. As Meriwether is the largest and wealthiest county tributary to Columbus, and as the Columbus and Greenville railroad brings more cotton to the city than any other road en tering Columbus, our merchants might do well to advertise liberally with Mr. Revill. He has been publishing the Vindicator for fifteen years and the paper has a splendid county circulation. Indeed, everybody in Meriwether reads the Vin dicator. Ar Mr. R. claims to be an exceedingly timid man, we publish this introduction that our business men may recognize him on sight and, without taxing him fpr any extended remarks, give him the ads his paper, its circulation and his county merit. Personal. Mr. C. L. Davis, of Warm Springs, is iu the city. Mrs. E. H. Epping returned from Gainesville last night. Judge W. I. Hudson, of Hamilton, was in the «Rcy yesterday. Col. George P. Swift returned from Upson county yesterday. Mrs. Cecil Gabbett, of Montgomery, is visiting relatives in the city. Miss Maggie Brannon went over to Seale yes terday to visit relatives. Judge J. F. Pou and Hon. T. J. Chappell re turned Talbotton from yesterday. Miss Lummus, of Brooklyn is in the cUy the guest of her friend Miss Lucy Dillingham. Col. Samuel P. Mendez, of Tyler, Texas, who has been spending a few days in our city with frieuds, leaves to-day for his home. Rev. Dr. Hunter and Mr. T. S. Fontaine return ed last night from Marietta, where they have been attending the bedside of Col. P. W. Alexander. F. D. Peabody, Esq., who has been spending several weeks in the northwest, has returned home, accompanied by his wife, who has been vibiting Griffin. Two Vowi tad • Blog. A quiet but brilliant wedding took place at the Mott house last evlnlng. It wm the marriage of Mr. Thomas H. Evans and Miss Delia Waddell. The wedding was strictly private, no cards being out, and many of the relatives and most intimate friends not being invited. Rev. Dr. DeB. Waddell, an unele of the bride and a min ister of the Episcopal church, performed the ceremony most impressively, and the bride was given away by Major James F. Waddell, of Beale, another uncle. The young couple were elegantly dressed in the latest fksh- lon. The bride’s dress was of white lace, and she wore a regulation bridal veil, with diamonds. The groomsmen and bridesmaids were as fol lows: Prof. A. A. Evans and Mias Bessie Waddell . Mr. P. B. McKenzie and Miss Eula Evans. Mr. James L. Henry and Bliss Lessie Waddell. Rev. J. F. Smith and Miss Emma Hooper. Prof. A. 8. Hough and Miss Cara Hooper. Mr. H. B. Wynne and Miss Bailie Spear. Notwithstanding the feet that all the relatives and friends even were pot invited, there was quite a large number present, and a more elegant and brilliant throng have not gathered in many a day at a wedding feast than that which graced the Mott house parlors last night. The parlors were pictures of the feiry land that children see in their placidost dreams. The soil glare of the lights was re lieved by rich, dark-hued carpets, and between light and carpet, green festoons of ivy and lilac and chrysantheums clambered upon every chandelier and portrait and projection, like a hanging garden. Yes, there were lamps above and laughter below, and all went merry as a marriage bell. The presents were numerous and costly. By request they are not catalogued here. At 11 o’clock the folding doors were thrown open and supper was announced. It is impossible to describe the magnificence of the table and do it justice. No design of the shrewd est caterer, no art of the most skillfol cooks and no expense had been spared to make it beautiflil and tempting. The heaviest and richest edibles and the lightest and daintiest viands were there in the same bountiful profu sion. Th'e guests lingered long at supper; but when the last one departed the table looked as if it had scarcely been touched*. At 12 o’clock the guests gathered about the hand some couple and t slowly bade them adieu,’with many a handshake and hope fof their happiness in the undeveloped future. And why should they not be happy? They love each other with a love as pure as the icicles that hung upon Diana’s temple; and no young couple in Columbus, dur ing all the years of the past has ever gone out into married life hand in hand upon whose heads rested the benedictions and God-bless- yous of more or truer friends. Mr. Thomas H. Evans, is one of the best known young men of Columbus, and he numbers among his friends all of the best people of the city. He is bright, steady, noble- hearted and wealthy. And to these graces he now adds the capstone by gaining for his bride and his wife one of the truest and prettiest and purest girls that God ever gave any man to spread bis table aud smooth his pillow, while they walk through the shade and the shine of the world together. It was a sweet and solemn sight to stand under the dim relig ious light and stillness of the ceremony and see the two separate streams of their young lives blended forever into one. And there was one guest at least who caught himself making a mental prayer that their, way might be arched with a fedeless rainbow of hope, even down to old age; and that their last years might be like the October sun, which brightens as it sinks. Death of Col. P. W. Alexander. A special from Mariettta to the Enquirbr-Sun last night brought us the sad news of the death of Col. P. W. Alexander. Col. Alexander became known throughout the southern states during the war as a brilliant army correspondent. After the close of the war he formed a law partnership with ex- Gov. J. M. Smith and moved to this city, where the firm did a lucrative practice until it was dissolved by the election of his partner as governor of the state. Col. Alexander spent the most of his time during Gov. Smith’s adminis tration in and about the city of Atlanta. Several years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Teresa Shorter, a lady of rare accomplish ments, and a member of one of the first families of this section. A few years ago he became connected with the Macon Telegraph as editor, aud as one of the proprietors. His last illness was quite protracted, and in it he underwent uo small amount of suf fering. Col Alexander was a man of fine literary at tainment, aud a polished and forcible writer. His articles always bore the impress of carefhl preparation and a studied desire to give no pain, but to elevate the moral tone of his readers and add to their stock of knowledge. His manners were polished and urbane, and his bear ing and deportment that of a dig nified gentleman. He was a genial nnd agreeable companion, and illustrated the character of a polished southern gentleman. He made more reputation as a journalist and writer than he did as a lawyer. His death occurred at his home in Marietta at 11 o’clock last night. His remains will be brought to this city for inter ment and will reach here by the Opelika train this evening. The fUueral will take place from the Episcopal church to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. The bereaved family and IViends have the sincere sympathies of the people of this community. Colonel Alexander was highly esteemed, aud the announcement of his death will carry sorrow to many hearts. HENLEY HEtKD FROM. Ho Denies that Ho Mistreated His Wife and Says H(v Never Broke Her Ribs. John Henley, husband of the woman who attempted suicide night before last, a lengthy account of which appeared in our issue of yester day morning, has asked us to say that several weeks ago he refosed longer to live with the woman as his wife for reasons that would not interest the public now. He says that Dr. Cam eron’s statement, as reported, that he broke two of her ribs by kicking her in the side, is not the truth; that other doctors, both in Birmingham and Columbus, have pronounced what he calls broken ribs to be spleen. He says further that while he lived with her as his wife he provided food for her, and even since has sent her provisions, und would have done more had she signified her needs in a proper way. He disdains to say more, but feels it due to himself to say as much as appears in the above. Mrs. Henley’s ConditLin. Mrs. Henley, the woman who attempted to commit suicide by taking morphine Wednesday night, was reported out of danger yesterday. She was still ill, but her condition was not se rious.

The reporter in his rounds yesterday morning ran across our jovial sheriff at the auction corner, where he can always be found except when on a foot race with some escaping law-breakers. Find ing him to be not in his usual jolly mood, we made haste to inquire if the earthquake prom ised for the 29th by some prophet of evil was resting heavily upon his stomach. “Oh, no,” said he, “the earthquake is a small affair by the side ofthe storm which seems to be gathering in my pathway, and besides I take earthquakes, tornadoes and other small matters Just as they come, and I don’t worry about the way Old Master manages the world’s affairs.” “What, then, in the name of all the prophets, can be the trouble?” we asked. “No prophets about it,” he replied. “It is just simply some mischief-maker plotting evil against me. They see an Atlanta policeman is in trouble for making poetry, and now they have put some poetry in the paper over my name, and the next thing I know the county commissioners or the grand jury, or the Georgia legislature, or some body else will be after me for writing poetry.” “Well, how can I help you out of the perplexi ty?” inquired the reporter. “You just do this. You offer, in my name, in the paper a two cents postage stamp as a reward for the fellow that put my name over that poe try.” Detectives may now keep an eye out for tho mischief making individual and duly report at the local’s headquarters.

Last winter I made the acquaintance of a gen*' tleman who used to be worth $250,000. During these years he took out $11,000 15 year en dowment in the Mutual Life. When it had run 11 years he broke up in business and lost all but his policy, for which the company paid him $8,000. This gave him a second start. He said: “If I had not taken an endowment policy I would now have to work by the day, as the money paid for the insurance would have gone into the business.” Respectfolly, D. C McKinnon. Need we say anything relative to the advisa bility of preparing a financial umbrella for the proverbial “rainy day” by taking a policy in the Mutual Life. D. F.
