THE WEDDING IS OFF. Cards Were Issued but There Is to Be No Wedding. lAtlinta, Dec. .17.—(Special.)—The marriage of Mr. Luctus I,. McClesky and Miss Susie Harwood, which was to have ’been solemnized tomorrow even ing. is a sensation that will not rest.

All arrangements bud been made. The cards were out und some of the pres ents had been received. Consequently society wan astounded when several days ago Miss Harwood announced 111 a pubic notice the Indefinite postpone ment of the 'wedding, which was ac cepted as a breaking of the engage ment entirely. Tho reason assigned was Moons, though there was no iilck- ncsM In either family. There was a great many stories afloat «b to |be real cause, but no one of Mies* wnn accepted, One of these stories, which it is ■ understood origi nated with a friend of the Harwood fam tty. was that Mr. McCiesky's mind was affected. Nobody put credit fn this, however, as the gentleman tins ever been highly efficient In his respon sible office. U Is understood that Mr. McClesky re quested a temporary postponement for reasons that he did not give, and that upon this the rupture occurred. Tho cause assigned for this request is that Mra. Howard bad lost a great deal of money. This, however, Mr. Howard con tradicts, although refusing to make nny statement for publication, and Mr.-Me- Clesky'a friends as well deny that he waa controlled by mercenary motives. Mr. McCleaky lias gone out of town for a fotv days. Mrs. Howard Is a vory wealthy widow.

Tesla’s (Hate*# invotntfon, the “osoiila* tor,” is one of tbe .most remarkable ap pliances of itlie age. It is dosortbed by tho Boston Transcript, as being tho core of a steam engine and the core of a dy namo combined, making tt harmonious medhtinical adjustment This combina tion, says an enthusiastic admiror, <•-»n- stitiites a machine which lias in It the potentiality of reducing to the rank ol old boll metal half the machinery at present moving on the face of ( the globe. Id may come to do tho entire work of the engines of an ocean steam ship within a small .part of the space they occupy, and at a fraction of th«i cost, both of construction and opera*, tion. It will do this work without Jar or pounding, ond will reduce «to a min imum the risk of deramgement or break age. Tlieto is nothingjn tho -whole range of menhaniml con&tnrot’.on, from ■railway locomotives to era nip mills, wflilch such an invention may'oot txwo- Unionize. : ( The essential characteristics of the ‘tmuchlne is nhe application of the pres sure of staun to produce an extremely rapid vibration of a -bar of stool or pis ton, .which, to turn, Is so adapted to a set of magnates .that .die mechanical energy -of tho vibration Is converted into electricity. The extraordinary re- su’Jt is rthu-t practically an absolutely oonstnmJt vibration is established, and a power is obtained greatly beyond, that obtained in the mfcit costly expansion oug'mo3 using a. similar amount or steam. Besides sayflng in mechanical friction the 35 per cent. oMoss in the working of fhe engine, Cie 15 per cent, of the loss by belt friction and the 10 per cent, wasted in the dynamo, making ,alv\, gcihwr an addition of GO per wait, to the available energy obtained' from the steam for tho purpose of producing electricity, It is simpler, smaller and lighter than the mechanism If Is des tined to replace, absolutely constant in its taction, auibomatiaully regukntvd and subject to tho least possible amount of wear and tear. Tho utilization ofi this machine In any branch of industry would result iu an appreciable lowering in the cost of production, and It is quitie possible thuf Its general employment may be In elec tric lighting.

SOME REVERSES OF FORTUNE. A Yorkslre vicar In London last month paid hla ’Bus fare to one who only ten years ago was the squlro of an East Rid ing village. The last time they had met the squire sat In the square pew of his village church, the walls of which held many tablets to the memory of his an cestors. He, their descen-lant. throiiKh mortgages and reduced rents, had to gain his. dally bread by flailing foot passengers and Inviting thorn to ride to the "Angel.” Many examples of the vicissitudes ot Yorkshire families might be given. Thus the ladles of a family who were in a po sition frequently to entertain the Duke of Clarence so recently as when he was- quartered at York have been Applicants for situations as governesses. A man who was the titular owner of most of the land In another village called on the. churchwardens (who were his nominal" tenants) and asked If they could give him an ofder for stoves (pr warming the church, as he was making his living by selling them. Another gentleman in posi tion, moving In the society of noblemen, piny now be seen In the uniform of a porter at a station in his native county. Bravely have the people faced their po sitions, nnd, instead of doing that which a century back would have been consid ered the only thing possible, vis., spong ing r-n their relatives, they have nobly resolved to do their beat In reduced cir cumstances.—Yorkshire (Eng.)

Mr. Hope, being one of the principal owners of «he flXHsto Phosphate Com pany of Charleston, said: ,r We don’t expect to make any great money out of fertilisers this season, aa we have nil reduced the output one-third, so that one-third lees fertilizers will be 00 the market this season than Hat season, or any of the previous seasons. This agreement war entered into at a meet ing of the manufacturers of fertilizers and was done to meet the reduoed cot ton crop of next season.” Mr. Hope knows all about fertilizers and keeps posted on what the farmers are doing. “We are erecting a monument <0 5 •ents coftton,’* said Mr. Calder Will-’ Ingham yesterday, as he pointed to tt long© pile of cotton In the contra of his warehouse on Beoond street. ’’That is now only twenty-one feet hl$fh, but I have instructed the men to make It forty feet high.
