On Monday afternoon Captain H. C Bagley of the Americus Investment & Construction Company came to Al bany on this mission. He met and had a conference with the stockbold ers of the A.

Davi- 'be superintendent ol the Georgia (Jhautequa, w^as met by a News and Advertiser man, who said to him: “Give me one of your good items.” It- dieting a moment he said *‘I had i talk with Hon. Fle ming duBignon, »fSavannah, a few days ago when he *.vas here in the interest ot the union passenger depot. You know he is to leliver an address here on Governor’? Day during the Chautauqua. Well, le told me positively that he would be •icre and that he was going to bring his wife with the view of spending -,vvoor three days during the session.” This certainly is good news. Mr iuBignon Is general counsel of the Plant system of railways, has held dis tinguished otllces in the state, having been president of the Georgia senate at the session of the general assembly preceding the last one, and ha* long been one of the most prominent law yers in the state. Mr. duBignon *s a charming orator. Mis eloquence chains the Interest of Ids hearers with the command of i ispiration and the granduer of bis thought embellished in the beauty of chaste and elegant language renders him an orator without a peer. Those who fail to hear him on Governor’s Day w ill mLs a treat rarely eft^red the public. The chimes of the wedding bell* rang out sweetly last Tuesday even ing. For weeks the citizens have been look log forward with great Interest to the marriage of M:s3 Annie Lou Atkii sun of this city to Mr. Lewis J. Harris o Macon. 1 The ceremony was performed at St. Paul’s Episcopal church and long be fore the hour lor the ceremony the church was crowded with Albany’s elite to witness a ceremony that would bind two bright and promising lives In happy union. The church - " had been elaborately and beautifully decorated with ever greens and when the brill’ancc of the ights added to the scene the plctur was dtzzling in its beau tv. Hanging just over the altar was a lovely floral parasol covered with white roses while on the walls on either side were beau tiful festoons of delicate drapery woven into which were the words “may your future be as joyous as now.” At 9 o'clock the organ under the skillful touch of Mrs. T. X. Woolfotk gave forth the Loletcn but inspiring strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding march aud the bridal party was nounced. The ushers preceded the at tendants as follows: Mr Geo B War ren and Mr. J P Clark, Mr T M Nel son and Mr J J Armstrong. Then came the attendant 2 , the bridesmaids marching up tht right aisle and taking position on the right of the altar, the groomsmen marching up the left aisle and taking position opposite tbe bridesmaids as fallows: Mr Arthur Sterne and M js= OJes3a Morris, Mr Ed Sterne and Miss Corinne Morris. Mr A S Maner and Miss Laura Harris. Then, preceding the bride, were two pretty li tie ll-rwei girls, Misses Agues UUsman and Sybil Woolfolk. As the bride entered leaning upon the arm of her m*Md of honor, Miss Settie Sterne, all eyes were turned upon her and never did bride look more beautiful. She was robed in a cream China silk, crepe dashc-s, with 1 »ng train trimmed in real lace. H«rr ornaments were diamonds. She wore white undressed kid slippers orna mented with real pearls and the long white veil that made her look so queen ly was draped with the symbolic ot- ange blossoms. Tae brides* maids all wore cream silk evening dresses with tl >ral decorations of lilies of the valley. As the fair young bride approached the altar she was joimd by the groom who came from the vestry room lean ing on the arm of his best man, Mr. T. YV. Loyless of Macon, Then in tin solemn and impressive ceremony o' he Epiicopal chuicli Rev. \\ T . E. Eppcs joined the happy couple In th< holy b »nds that bind their lives to gether for life and eternity. After the cen raony the bridal party repaired to the home of Mrs. S. At kinson on Pine street where in tbe the parlors of the home the congratu lations of friends and relatives were avished upon Mr. and Mrs. Harris Shortly after 10 o’clock the gutst? were invited to the wedding supper and there a scene was presented that the most graphic pen would shrink from describing. The tables formed ir. the shape of an. “II” made a unique and original design, ap propriately suggesting the happy union and upon th *m were the rarest viands. Such a collation is seldom seen outside a banquet b all and the guests present found themselves over whelmed with all delicacies that could tempt or please the appetite. In the parlors w-ere displayed a irge number of rare and costly pres ents wnile the groom was the recip ient in Macon of equally as many that were sent there. Mr. and Mr3. Harris left last night on tiie B. & YV. for a tour through Florida going first to St. Augustine. Completing their tour they will go di rect to Macon, their future home. Albany has lost one of her favorites and wc»l may Micon be congratulate ! upon the victory. It is a pleasure though to the many friends of the bride that one so worthy of her has on her. Mr. Harris is the union ieket agent at the passenger depot in the Centra! City in which responsible position he represents every railroad entering there. As he goes from Al bany with his fair and beautiful bride the best wishes of the entire commu nity follow the couple with the liopt- that Heaven’s rarest blessings may be showered upon them and that the au spicious event of last evening may find a radiance fleecing every cloud that may ever cross their path.

There was not any large number of vLuingE-pi-copdians. though small delegations from many parts of tbe state were present. The altar aed chancel of the church were appropriately decorated for tbe momentous event, the white of the lily and tbe pnrple cf the violet predomf- ating. Tne mude of the choristers, accompanied by the large orchestra was grand and inspiring. At 10:39 o’clock the services began. The'deep tones or the organ pealed forth -and the procession of white r«,bed chorister! and priests with the or >ss carriei aloft at the head filed slowly into the church and into the chancel making it most inspiring scene. Many of the Bishops wore the gor geous rubes of the ritualistic church lie brilliant colors of their cossacks adding brilliancy to the white and black of the priests and choir.. Tbe bishops who walked In the pro- ces ion came last. They were Rt. Rey. Quictard cf Tennessee, consecrator t. Rev. Theodore Lvm in of North Qnrolina-aud Rt. Rev.

YYilliams of Au gusta and Rev James Minnegerode oi Louisville, Ky., were the attending presbyters while R?v R>ht Barrett, .lean of St Luke's cathedral this city, acted as master of ceremonies. I:i addition to these there were present ministers from all sections of the South. Bispop Ralison of Pennsylvania preached the consecrating sermon tak ing for his text “Launch out into the ieep.” It was a grand and powerful di=( oarseand was listened to with the trictest attention of all those present. The consecration set vice was most impressive, the birhop-elect answering the questions and taking the oath in rrong, clenr voice, at the same time showing that he feit most deeply the io!erai:ity of the occasion and the enor mity of the obligation he had made. The new bishop was accompanied here from hi? old home by his wife and a Urge number of intimate friend- who camt to witness the imposing ceremony. They occupied prominent seats near the chancel and watched the ceremonies with intense interest. Bishop Xelscn has been met warmly by the citizens here, especially the Episcopalians, among whom his labors are to bi cast.

Thursday afternoon Mr. W.~ C; Harris was standing in front of his store turning occasionally a good chew of tobacco in his mouth and looking wise, as he usually is, when a gentleman was teen tugging up the street with a satchel iu his hand. There was nothing very peculiar about this. Such scenes are almost daily presented. But the gentleman with the satchel was evidently con nected with the Downing troupe and he wanted some information, Attracted by the wise and intelli gent expression on Mr. Harris* face he stopped in liout of that gentleman and inquired in a polite manner •‘YFill you please tell me where 1 will flad the opera house?” Throwing his piercing eyes on him Mr. Harris said without moving “YVe haven’t got any, sir.” He then re sumed his mastication of th 1 weed. The look of sad and sore disappoint ment that found expression on the show' man’s countenance spoke louder than words and with a heavy heart he proceeded on his way.

While the gimlet was at work the reporter was sharpening his pencil and fina’ly Mr. Shaw beg in to talk. He 9ald: “I have teen living in Chattanooga Tenu., for tbe past year but.. I came originally from Ohio. I was never so far South and the farther I come the better I like it. “My trip here now Is a prospective one. I am looking around with a view to lecating. I want to engage in the truck farming and fruit growing industry and I have been told that you have the finest section here iu the South for that purpose.” * The reporter assured him that his information was correct.

While on lh!s rounds yesterday his uniform lacked that crowning feature of his apparel. The truth is cfficcr HirLarty has lost his helmet and knows not where it is. He will suitably reward any one who will return it, Friday morning before dav be strolled Into the Albany Inn to warm his feet by the cheerful fire that glow ed in'the grate. As he entered bis frieud Mr. Walter Pidlpof, the night clerk, was enjoying a good lunch and united him to j iin thereio. Now if there is any one thing that officer Mc- Larty enjoys more than any other, it is a good luuch. Accordingly he sat himself dow n to help destroy the viands placed before him. . n«> wa» progressing very well and 1 he lunch tasted so well that he took off bis helmet, placed it In a chair and went into the lunch goodTashion. While he was eating some one slipped his hat away and when he got up to go he couldn’t find it. And he hasn’t found it yet. Majbe if he had had that helmet last night the door keeper at the Hall would have let him in to see the show. Yesterday Mr. A. P. Cole? received a letter from the famous tragedian RobL Downing announcing with re gret that it would be impossible for him to join the lopge here la iis meet ing to night in conferring degrees. Mr, Downing stated in his letter that It was owing entirely to lack oi time as he will no: get hire until af ter 4 o'clock this afternoon and w*11 leave to-night at 2 o’clock. At the tegular weekly meeting held last night this communication was read aud it seemed x to be the ptcvAiing sentiment of those present that Mr. Downing must be entertained any way. .

Have just received an elegant line of new I Spring Neckwear Yesterday a young man giving his- name as Jasper Harily living in tbe first district of Lee county was iu the city and reported a sad case of desti tution in his neighborhood. On last Saturday night while the lightning was venting its fury upon this section it struck the house occu pied by Mrs. Margaret Bailey who lives near Hartley aud not only dam aged her home seriously but set it on fire. The flames attracted Mr. Hartley and proceeding to the house had time ro save nothing before the structure was entireTy consumed, it being ini possible to struggle sgaiost the 11 imes It set ms that Mrs. Bailey is quite a poor woman, without husband or chil dren and entirely dependent upon her own efforts for a livelihood. Through B>e kindness of Capt. R. Ilobbs she has been allowed to occupy this house on a place owned by him and around are three or four acres of cleared land. Mrs. Bailey would get her neighbors to break up the ground for her and then by her own efforts would make a little crop. She lived there alone and fought manfully so keep the wolf from the door. When Capt. Hobbs was told yester day morning of the sad and lamenta ble visitation from which she suffered such serious loss he contributed liber ally and liis example was followed by others. Some who did not feel dis posed to give money made contribu tions of necessities and yesterday af ternoon the young min who bad inter ested himself in her behalf left the city for Ids home to delight this poor wo man on lib arrival with the tree will offering of the kindhearted citizens of Albany. A Beatitifal Fxhibit. Mr. YV. L. YVithers and Mrs. Marie Anderson, representing the Singer Sewing Machine Co., have opened an office of exhibit in a portion of tbe store occupied by Mr. J. F. YVeller. A corner has been cut off io which displayed some of the rarest and and most beautiful work ever seen in this city. Some of the work done represents animals, a stalk of cotton with open bolls, a branch la lea with frui*, etc. Of course to represent suoh things so perfectly the many colors must be brought out in bold relief. This is done by using different colors of silk and so artistically is it done that at a distance much of the work looks ,like crayon work. This office will be open for one week and during th*t time the Ddies of the city are invited to call and see Mrs. Anderson doing some of the work just like what is displayed there. Every 4ady visitor will have her name record ed and will be given a card containing the number of her registration. Ai the expiration of tbe week all the these names will be placed in a bat and an outside party will be blindfolded and will draw out one of the tickets. The name on the ticket thus drawn will represent the person that will win the handsome piece of work that b being done here qow.

These are two as good railroad men as aie in the service and they know every foot of track from here to Columbia just like they know tbe buttons ou their vests. They are careful- and diligent employes and the wreck was in no way any fault of theirs. Ihe train proceeded all right until just before it reached Holt’s, a flag station eighteen miles from the city. At that point the track spread and some of the cars left the track. Just beyond the* point where the track spread there is a trestle over CbickE- sawhathie creek and it is about twelve seet from the track to the bottom of the embankment on each side. As soon as the cars struck tbi3 tres tle werk the jostling, jolting, jerking, jumping action of the cars caused the trestle to give way and it broke right in the center. Five cars tnmbled'hel- ter and skelter down the embankment and were piled up there in a mass of ruins. The cars were loaded with merchandise and the whole ground was a mess of guano, groceries, furnU ture and almost every commodity that could be shipped. This accident happened about 9 o'clock and tbe passenger train due here at 10:40 was oa its way toward the city. A flagman was seat ahead and the train reached Holt’s about 30 o’clock. It was waved down and tbe passengers walked up to the wreck and viewed with dismay the obstruc tion that kept them from coming on further. The passenger finding it impossible to reach the city during the day went back to Leary. The intelligence of the wreck was wired to the city and a special train under the management of Conductor Tom Had went out yester day afternoon with a crew to assist in clearing tbe track.

Duncan that contained oa its arrival two little relics gathered from the rulus of Pompeii while travelling abroad last summer. Accompanying tbe package was a letter from Dr. Duncan who suited that they were pieces of tbe tiling .that or namented the floor of the dwelling of the Latin author Sallust and had been covered by twenty feefrof lava. These little relics were sent, one for Mr. Davis and the other for-ihe editor of the News and Advkktiser. These Monday morning App prater and Henry «tones, two little negioeswho gain a livelihood by sttioing 6boes were star.dlug on the sidewalk at tbe Hilsmau & Agir corner wheu some one threw a cigarette stump away. Instantly both boys made a dive for it to draw from the roll a few whiffs of the exhiieratiug narcotic. This is called in street gamin parlance “shoot ing a duck.” App shot the duck first aud so angered was Henry that he laid upon the lucky duck shooter with great violence. Prather ha-1 given him no offence whatever save to secure what each one wanted. Nevertheless Jopes drew back bis arm holding his boot black box in Bis baud, and giving full force to the blow struck Prater ever the eye stunning him and causing tbe blood to flow freely. Jones was arrested and taken before Mayor Gilbert who imposed a fine of five dollars or ten days on the streets. Late yesterday afternoon he had not paid tbe fiae and was in tbe lock up. The boy who was struck is blind In one eye aud can’t see very well out of the other. He is called “Blinker” by parties around town who know him and much sympathy was express ed for him yesterday morning when it was known that he had been struck in a weak place. An Artistic Felon.
