Brilliant Wedding at the Rev- Sam
Jones Home Wednesday Evening.
NOME AGLOW WITH BEAUTY-
Exquisitely Gowned Women and
Handsome Men Form a
Notable Bridal Party.
Weddings are always interesting
and delightful, but the one that
was solemnized at the home of
£ ev Sam P. Jones last evening
was absolutely perfect in all its de
tails Miss Laura Jones, the bride
is a noted beauty of unusual intel
lect Mr. Flournoy a cultured gen
tleman, influential in business cir-
cles, from Paducah, Ky.
The handsome residence seemed
built for the occasion. The long
piazzas were canvassed in and low
lights, soft head draperies, delic
ious incense, snug corners,prepared
one for the loveliness within. The
entire first floor was thrown open
for the guests and was well filled.
Throughout the library, music
room, double parlors, sitting room,
halls and dining room smilax and
white roses held sway. A frieze of
smilax climbed in and around the
walls, ever and anon draped into
graceful festoons and seemingly
held in place by knots of
white roses. White roses filled
.■ the vases, banked the mantels
and adorned the altar, which was
in the large French window of the
drawing room, knots of white satin
ribbon gave a bridal air to all.
Soon after the arrival of the
guests a sweet, clear soprano
voice, accompanied by the sweetest
of orchestras, was heard, and Miss
Barbee, of Rome, sang "The Ros
ary,” by Nevin. This was followed
by “The Voice That Breathed On
Eden,” exquisitely rendered by
Mrs. Simmons, of Shorter college.
The fanfiare of the trumpets intro
ducing the wedding march, an
nounced the coming of the bridal
party. The ushers were: Mr. J. W.
Lewis, Jr., of Louisville, Ky.; Mr.

white ribbon, Rev. Sam P. Jones
took his place at the altar. From
theleftentrauceMr.Flournoy.accom
panied by his brother, Mr. George
Flournoy, enterred to await the
bride’s coming. Down the stair
way Miss Julia Jones, maid of
honor, led the way. She looked
extremely handsome and was
exquisitely gowned in embroidered
chiffon over accordion pleated
mouseline with foundation of lace.
She had her arms full of Ameiican
Beauty roses. This was the only
bit of color in the whole wedding
scheme. The beautiful bride
came, a vision of loveliness, on the
arm of her mother, Mrs. Sam P.
Jones. Her gown was of white
olga crepe over accordion pleated
tnouseline and lace, the corsage an
exquisite concoction of Duchess
point and hand work, with deep
bertha of the lace. The fastenings
were of tiny chiffon roses. The
skirt en train was in panels of hand
work and medalions. It looked an
exqisite spider web of silk and lace.
Her slippers were of olga crepe
with lace bows. She carried a beau
tiful bouquet of lilies of the valley.
Lver all a tulle veil reached to the
beni of her gown. It was adjust
ed with a wreath and knot of
orange blossoms. Mrs. Jones wore
a grey sappho silk embossed in
pink brocaded mouseline and
embroidered in coral beads, the
"hole enhanced by medalion of
r °se point. She looked, as she is,
a remarkably handsome woman
W!th queenly bearing.
The ceremony was in Mr. Jones’

GROUND TO DEATH IN WASHER
Negro Convict Meets Terrible Fate
at Sugar Hill Mine.
At the Sugar Hill iron mine a
few days ago a negro convict met
his death in a horrible manner. He
had been standing near the head
of one of the big ore washers, and
starting around the end
where there was a thick collection
of ice. he fell and his body went
full over into the washer, where a
revolution of the jagged parts tore
him up into a frightful mass. He
was alone w’hen he fell and it was
a little while b efore his torn re
mains were found on the under
side of the washer.
The negro was sent up originally
from Cobb county and had only a
short time to remain in the peniten
tiary to finish his term.

CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 1903.
GEORGIA COAL
AND IRON GO.
Rebuilding Furnace on the Old Site
at Rising Fawn-
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND-
Dollars Expended on Renewels and
Repairs—Open First
of February
9
Chattanooga Times.
Joel Hurt, president of the
Georgia Coal and Iron company,
came up from Atlanta late Satur
day night and left early yesterday
morning for the vicinity of the
Birmingham district. The work
of rebuilding the Rising Fawn
furnace is progressing at a more
rapid rate than was at first hoped
for, and the indications are that it
will be put in blust not later than
Feb. 1 next.
The intentions of the company
were simply to repair the furnace
and replace some of the outstand
ing buildings. Once undertaken,
the work unfolded itself to such an
extent, however, that it was neces
sar} r to practically rebuild the en
tire plant. This work has been
done and the few odds and ends
that remain will be completed du
ring the coming month. Oneof the
prominent officers of the company
stated ye terday that there would
be nothing old about the plant
except the name of the little sta
tion.
While the old Rising Fawn fur
nace was idle the little town held
about 500 persons. The popula
tion is now more than doubled, and
at the site of the furnace proper
more than 500 men are regularly
employed. Every mechanic possi
ble to be secured was put to work
at once, and the need of good
workmeu cannot be supplied.
SPENT.
At Rising Fawn alone the com
pany has expended over $200,000
on the plant, and about $500,000
more will be the fires
it one of the
-best 01 The moaemXurnaces in the
country. Formerly an average of
about seventy-five tons of iron
w'ere made each day; when the
plant is again put in service it will
have a capacity of 200 tons daily.
In order to secure this increase in
capacity it was necessary to give
the bosh an increase of thirty-six
inches in diameter, necessitating
the rebuilding eutirely.
The coal and ore mines lie e o
fore operated by the company in
this state have had their capaci
ties greatly increased, the coal
mines more than doubling their
old output. New mines are being
driven in the property of the com
pany where a rich deposit of gray
specular iron ore has been found.
This iron, used with the old
brown ore of the company, is
claimed to make the finest grade of
foundry iron in the world. It is
stated the former runs about 68
per cent, of metalic iron, while the
red ore averages from 53 to 56 per
cent.
CUT OFF BIRMINGHAM’S SUPPLY.
A statement recently made by a
prominent iron worker in this dis
trict will be a source of surprise to
the general public in so much as
the entire output of these mines of
browm ore has been regularly ship
ped to the Birmingham district,
where it has been merged with the
common red ore of that district,
which is claimed to average less
than 47 per cent, of metallic iron.
When the rising Fawn furnace
goes into blast this supply for the
Birmingham district will be en
tirely cut off.
In connection with the furnace
work, the Georgia Coal and Iron
company is constructing additional
coke ovens, making a total battery
of 375 ovens that will be lighted
the latter part of next month. All
of its ores are washed at the mines
and the coal is found to be of such
a high grade for the purposes de
sired that it does not have to under
go the process of washing to be
coked. Mauy new houses have
been built near the plant to accom
modate the workmen and a small
sized town has sprung up as it by
magic.
Turkestan Earthquake.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 27. —Later
advices from Ashkabad, Russian
Turkestan, say that in the country
around Andijan, eleven villages
are in ruins as a result of the re
cent earthquakes, and that fully
6,000 houses have been destroyed
in these scattered settlements.
The weather is warmer, and the
w'Ork of rescue and succor is pro
ceeding with better results. The
villages are sufficiently provided
for some time, but the government
will be obliged to support the
wants of the working people at
Andijan until the spring.
No one is permitted to enter
Aniijan without a police pass.
Even railroad employes on their
way to work are obliged to show
permits.
PLUCKY CONDUCTOR
Ha Shoots a Train Robber After
Having Been Hit by a Bullet.
Louisville, Ky , Dec. 30. —Con-
ductor J. D. Keen had a desperate
struggle on his train, the Louis
ville & Nashville New Orleans-
Cincinnati north bound express,
this morping at 2:30 o'clock when
nearing South Louisville, and as a
result was shot by the robber over
the left temple. Conductor Keen is
confident that he killed or mortally'
wounded the robber with a bullet
from a Winchester rifle.
The train reached the city at
3:30 and at 4 o’clock a special
train of one coach and an engine
left the Tenth street station for the
scene of the hold-up. The train
was manned by a large number of
police and Louisville & Nashville
employes to search for the dead
bodv.
The train was just entering the
limits of South Louisville, and all
the passengers in the Pullman were
asleep. Conductor Keen was pass
ing through the car, as was his
habit just before entering the
Louisville station. As he entered
the car the figure of a man, wear
ing a mask, jumped from a dark
corner in the car, and with drawn
revolver commanded Keen to throw
up his hands. Instead of throwing
up his hands, Keen grappled with
the robber. A pistol ball momen-
tarily stunned Keen and the robber
pulled the bell cord, but before the
train stopped the highwayman
proceeded to rob the passengers in
the sleeper. He held up Joseph
Redford, the Fullman conductor,
and J. £, Moore, the only passen
geivtakiug $25 from the latter. s*
As the tiain showed down the
robber jumped off, but was follow
ed by Conductor Keen, who had
secured a Winchester. The con
ductor hurried after the robber,
firing as he went, and emptied his
rifle at the retreating burglar. At
one of the shots the fleeing man
let out a yell of pain. The firing
aroused all the passengers in the
train and caused consider ble ex
citement.
ALL COUNTRIES CONSENT
For the Venezuela Controversy to
be Settled by Hague Tribunal.
Rome, Dec. 27. —Ambassador
Meyer today presented to the
foreign office President Roosevelt’s
note on the subject of Venezuelan
arbitration.
The president says that although
he is very much gratified at the
confidence the powers have shown
in him by choosing him as an
arbitrator, which position he would
have accepted if there were no
other means of deciding the ques
tion, he thinks it better to submit
the case to The Hague tribunal,
and especially as all the powers
concerned are willing.
The president adds that as there
is no question of national honor or
cession of territory involved, after
thoroughly considering and in
accord with all the powers con
cerned, who have shown an honor
able spirit of mutual consideration
and modification, he is glad to be
informed that they all have agreed
to submit the question to The
Hague tribunal.

Another big mineral deal that
has been on foot for several months
has been consummated in the last
few' days. The Satterfield Mininaa
Cos. has purchased the
known as the Larey and Duckett
property, which contains rich de

McClure’s Sets a Fast Pace-
Never did McClure's Magazine
begin anew year so auspiciously
.as with the present January num
ber. Whever you open it you will
read it. If you are looking for a
story, just as likely as not before
you know it you will find yourseif
half way through an “article.” This
will certainly be the case if you
begin with the leading article,
“The Shame of Minneapolis,” by
Lincoln Steffens. It was only a
few months ago that Mr, Steffens’s
“Tweed Days in St. Louis,” came
out in McCluie’s and made the
whole country stop and consider,
and people who thought they knew
something about municipal corrup
tion reconsider. Now follows Min
neapolis. As pieces of story-telling
these two papers beat ninety-nine
per cent, of our fiction; but they
are much more than this —they are
a public service.

New York, Dec. 27. —Finding
the decapitated body of John Wax,

tracks, points to murder, there be
ing no marks on the body, such as
would have been evident had he
been killed by the cars.
Wax worked during the coal
strike and had been repeatedly
threatened with bodily harm, and
