They were married at the Lawrence House by Judge Barber. The bride of this romantic marriage traveled alone from Ohio to meet die groom. a newspaper sensation. The Brownsville, Ala., Investigator created something of a sensation to-day on its appcnrance by a long article which charges the Mayor and Town Council with being robbers and a nuisance. An investi gation will follow and trouble is anticipated from the serious character of the charges. Two young men named Pierce and Hill, while driving at a rapid rate last night, in separate buggies, to at tend n religious meet ing at Mt. Zion church, collided in the darkness. One horse was killed and tho other was injured. Both men were badly frightened, but escaped unhurt. Col. W. A. McDougald died at his home, in Russell county, to-night.

STATE CAPITAL SIFTINGS. Dr. Hawthorne Returns and De nounces Hts Slanderers. Atlanta, Sept. 17. —A requisition from the Governor of Alalwtna was honored to day for Monroe Jackson, who is wanted in Shelby county for the murder of a woman. He has been under arrest here for some days and was carried away to-day by John Dab nev, Alabama’s agent. Br. Hawthorne has returned from Louisville, and in an interview to day in reply to a rumor that he had gone to Cincinnati to see Dr. Strong, said: “That is only in keeping with the many other slanderous stories with which certain individuals are pursuing me. I went no farther than Louisville, and was there ou business purely privata, iu no way* connected with any controversy in which I have been engaged nor in any way con nected with any church matters. Tele grams were sent from Atlanta to Louisville that I had left the city to avoid meeting the author of tic attacks on me in the Augusta Chronicle, when I had no idea that he was or would ever be within 100 miles of Atlanta. The venom, the spite, the rancor, the deep-laid plots that have marked the methods with which I have been pursued would do credit to the assassins of olden times. If these same men had lived in the days of old they would have fired poisoned arrows at their enemies.” The doctor says he will go to preaching now. Principal Keeper Towers will turn out nearly a score of convicts in October whose terms will expire during that month. On Forsyth street, early to-night, F. B. Benson fired four shots with a pistol at Heyward Turner (both colored). Tumor boards with Benson, and the shooting grew out of his intimacy with Benson’s wife. Turner escaped unhurt and Benson was jailed. A 20-year-old negro convict named Wifi Mitchell, who was sent up for burglary from Randolph county, escaped from the Chattahoochee camp to-day. He has suc ceeded in changing his stripes, but carries one shackle. He was seen near West End this afternoon and pursued by officers several .miles, but is still at large. The police captured James O’Quinn and Pat Enright to-night,alleged white burglars, charged with entering a residence on Deca tur street. Burglary at Fleming. Fleming, Ga., Sept. 17.—Last night a bold robbery was committed at the store of J. Clarke & Cos., at this place. The perpe trators are believed to be employes of a con struetlon train of tho Savannah, Florida and Western Railroad, which laid over on the side track all night. About thirty train hands were singing and shouting in front of the store until a late hour Friday night, and it is believed they were the burglars who entered the store. A lot ot merchandise was carried (iff. The amount is estimated to lie about S2OO or S3OO. Mr. Clarke, on going tei open the store this morning, found the front doors wide open and the goods scattered about the floor. A search warraut has been issued, and Sheriff Draughn left in pursuit of--,the train, which he expects to overtake between Fleming and Jesup,where be will mnk- a search, and if the goods are found he will arrest the suspected parties. How Often Should She Change Her Dress? New York, Sept. 17.—The question how many times a day a woman of good stand ing ought to change her gown is one that has been subject to a great deal of discus sion at the various summer resorts this sea son. Naturally numerous opinions have been forthcoming. It is, however, needless to say that tho matter can properly be set tled by refinement and good taste' and by nothing else. Of course every vulgar par venu who goes to a watering place with dozens of trunks and hundreds of gowns, who covers herself with jewels, and whose sole object in life is to make herself as con spicuous as possible, changes her dress cer tainly three and very often four times a day. A woman of this sort knows perfectly well that her only claim to distinction lies in her clothes, and consequently she must dress or die. It actually happened a few weeks ago that a very brilliant and charm ing actress was dubbed “no lady,” because she wore but two gowns each day, one in the morning and the other in the evening. It would thus seem that a woman’s social position in the eyes of a certain class of ig norant vulgarians is to be determined by the extent and exhibition of her wardrobe, and if this be actually the case it is a compara tively Jasy (ask to distinguish the newly rich from those women whoso pretensions to gentility are well founded. It would be difficult to discover why any lady should think it incumbent upon her to dress oftener at a showy, noisy watering place than in her own home. True refinement, on the con trary, would point to an absence in tho toilet of all that was calculated to attract atten tion. No woman in any class of society whatever who understands what is due to herself should dress more than three times a day. A morning dress indeed ought to be worn until dinner time unless shopping, driving or visiting entails tho putting on of a street costume. In summer street gowns are not necessary. Therefore, twice a day should tile dress be changed and no oftener. Women who parade ns many as four and five gowns daily at summer hotels are gen erally persons who would not be tolerated in good society. Clara Lanza. Games Yesterday.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1887. Charleston Bubbles. The carload of North Carolina apples re ceived here a day or two ago was sold out in one day at $3 per barrel. Another car load is expected to-day. The Charleston and Savannah railway have decided to continue running cheap Sunday excursions to Savannah during the months of September and October. An investigation was made Friday by Registrar Horlbeck, of tho “secret ceme tery,” near Cool Blow garden. It appears that it is a plut of ground on tho “Payne Farm” which, under an old deed was re served for the burial of certain slaves and their descendants, a custom which prevailed on many of the low country plantations. The slaves and their descendants are pro tected, it is claimed, as to their rights bv the deed referred to. As the question is, how ever, an interesting one, the matter will be referred to Corporation Council Bryan by tbe City Registrar. The cutlook for the strawberry crop of next year is not the most encouraging in the world, although there is as yet no cause for despair, especially after the experiences of the rail of ISRfi. It is usual to sot out the plants during August and September, an important item in the business lieing moist ground. Some of the farmers put out their plants during the latter part of August, and early in September. Others, who were wiser in their generation, have not yet done so, and these last seem to be better off than their more enterprising neighbors. The long drought seems to have very nearly de stroyed the plants that have lieen set out, and a replanting will be necessary. The disease which has caused this destruction of the plant is called “black root,” and is the result of a lack of moisture in the soil during the infancy, so to speak, of the plant. Tho strawberry crop of Charleston is not an insignificant item in the business of tbe city. The crop this year was estimated at about 800,000 quarts, of which about one half were shipped. The actual shipments to Northern ports were in round numbers 300,000 quarts. The aggregate value of the crop runs from $75,000 to SIOO,OOO. Last year’s crop was sold for about sßo,ooo. The building of the new bridge across the Ashley river has opened ue a very large area of tbe best kind of land for truck farming, and it, is not improbable that with average seasons the crop of 1888 will bo largely in excess of that of 1887. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the damage is not as great as is apprehended, and that a speedy rain wifi soon set things right. Weather Indications.
