Thomas church, New York, Monday afternoon at 5:30. Dr. Wesley Brvnn. rector, officiated at the eeremony. The marriage which took place in the presence of twenty relatives and select friends was a very private af> ■ (air. Gen. Harrison’s children were not oresent. The decorations were not lavish ' but the flowers used were lilacs and ascension lilies, arranged in exquisite taste. BenJamtn Harrison is a plain man: Mrs. ; Dimmick is a plain woman. It was nt- | Ung. therefore, that in celebrating an epoch in th. ir lives so important as inatri- I atony, it should te characterized with that . every-day simplicity of their lives. The assembled crowds outside the church : showed the interest the public bad in the affair. Secrecy as to the exact hour of ttie ceremony had been carefully maintained, which, in a measure, served to check the i growth of the curious. Then, too, the weather was not inviting enough even to \ the curious, to attract as great a mass as , was feared. _____ Ohio Municipal Elections. Cincinnati special: Township and municipal elections were held in Ohio Monlay in nearly all the citiesand townships. The elections seem to have been generally quiet with a light vote, except in the smaller municipalities where j local issues made the contest close and i hard fought. Only a portion of the returns have been received, but enough is known to indicate a general Republican victory. All municipal officers inelud.ng school trustees and town councilmen were voted for. Mr. Harrison Yet a Possibility. Indianapolis special: Friends of ex-Pre-ident Harrison are saying that Proctor . Is to give Vermont’s vote to him on tbe first ; bailor at .-t. Louis. As this State comes near tbe last, it will serve as a straw for I the second ballot. In saying this General Harrison’s friends are calculating that McKinley will not be nominated on the first ballot. If be is it will in all hkeli- | boud le before Vermont is reached, in which case tbe State will go with the others lor McKinley. Joined the Volunteers. Edward Fielding. Bragadier General in command of the Northwest Division of the i Salvation Army, and. with tbe exception of Commissioner Booth-Tucker, the most . prominent officer in tbe forces m America, has resigned bis commission and will join i tbe fore.* of Baliingti.n Booth’s Volunteers.

Ten persons perished by suffocation in a I tenement house at Brooklyn, N. Y. All ' met their death by suffocation. Tbe I bodies of some of them were badly burned. ■ Tbe tire started in tbe lower hallway of | the building, which is a four story tenement > , tn Union street, and before the sleeping !

A special from Havana,via Tampa, says: Jose Ramon Del Valle, a Spaniard, who has been alcalde for some time i of tbe important town of Jovellanos, province of Havana, has resigned his position and brought his family here. He sails for Mexico immediately. He states as a i reason that be can no longer stand tbe excesses committed by Npanish troops. ' Senor Del Valle is a man of culture and intelligence and has no leaning towards I tbe insurgents. His testimoay is there- ; fore unbiased. He say* Spanish troops are killing innocent people right and left. Tbe people oi Havana have no idea what atrocities are being committed. In many parts of the island th- troops pillage stores, residences, and estates and kill unar-.-. ; B: , a: ■ M(B to be feared than the insurgent*. Prevented a Wreck on the B. A O. Mrs Freeman, living a few m.lea east of Shoals. Ind., prevented a wreck by her j thoughtfulness and probably saved several I lives. It was just growing dark when Mrs. Freeman observed a bridge of tbe Baltimore A Ohio Southwestern ablsze and was to tad.y burned that it would probably not told tbe weight of , a train. In tbe distance she Beard the arprsacb of a westbound Height train ' and ran as far towards it as she could, j loose:. .ng her petticoat as she ran. When ! the train came in sight she waved tbe undergartnmt violently across the track. Tbe train was a long one. It was stopped B seventy-five feet of tbe bridge, which was found to be in a very unsafe condition. Tbe trainmen have begun a movement to ra.*e a pur*e for Mrs. FreeState of Trade. R. G. Dun A- Co.’* Weekly Review of Trade says: “The improvement expected with spring weather begins, thouuti in some branches of business *carue,y visible. As consumers make spring purchases they must lessen stock and compel les* buying. Tbe stocks taken in advance of consumer’s demands last summer have been distributed far more slowly than was expected, but months of waiting have helped to lessen tbe load which it I* hoped spring buying will clear away. Apprehensions of foreign or financial difficulties have hindered, but are now scarcely felt. Gold exports are rumoied, but at this season are so far , natural that they have no such power to I cause alarm as they had in winter. Counterfeiters’ Cave Found. f 'n an island in the St. Joseph River, between Bristol, Ind., and Mottville, Mich., a cave has been discovered which ba* been used by counterfeiters. There are several chambers or ajartmer’s in the cave all well supplied with apparatus for the manufacture of counterfeit money. Coin of several denominations in all stages of manufacture have U-en brought to light. The discovery was made by section men on the railroad finding a wire which undoubtedly was used a* a signal wire by the counterfeiters. United state* officials are now investigating.

XV ork of tifficlat Bunglers. A startling exhibition of bung. u< .a lhe eiecuUoa by tbe garrute ut five Cobio tauk at Having. I m»a. classed as •’murderers, vWxtur* and inc'end.ariee" beivog’.ug to Cayajabo, were recently sentenced to be garruted. and at 7 a’clocil Tuesday morning a strung force of infantry wa* drawn up la tbe form of a eqngre around the where the garrote hau been erected. Tbe Instrument of execution, a chair with * post behind il. an iron collar and screw behind it, watch when turned strangle, j »r breaks the neck of tbe efcttah wa, *"t up by the turn •u, execuii >ner. N atentine Ruiz. who. fur a->iue rezeja not fully explained. acted up>n thia occasion a, the assistant to bi, own *Mi*tant instead of as tbe principal execut.oner. Tbe fire priwuers in their dungeon, received the m nistratton, of the pneets. I One man •■onfe**ed h.tnself to be guilty of i the crimes charged againat h.m and a*I scried that hi* companion* were innocent, the latter stoutly maiutaining their innocence to the last. The man selected to be the first victim • quietly and coolly ® >un:ed tbe steps lead|mg to tbe chair and took hi, seat. Tae man acting a* executioner then twisted ths lever or screw handle controlling tbe ‘ garrote, but he wa* evidently nervou*. ■ and this rendered him so weak that his ’ band* slipped repeatedly from the lever. ■ There were horrible. *m 'tbenng. chok.ng ' cries from tbe e affold. and it wa* only after a long period of agony for the con- > demued man and almost torture for the spectators that the Cuban was pronouac- 1 But thia wa, only a beginning of the terrible performance. Tbe second victim i wa, brought to tbe front and led up the step, to the scaffold by tbe priests and as».*taut executioner. Upon reaching tbe platform the unfortunate man made an : I effort to say something to the people sur- 1 | rounding him. but the executioner's band wa, placed over hi, rn 'oth. be wa, hastily ' bundled into the deadly chair and in another moment the iron collar wa, around I bi, neek. If the executioner wa, nervou, I upon the occasion of tbe first killing be was ten time, more ao up»n thi* occaaion. I The result wa, more alow, fearful ••ran- : rulation and another horrible exper.ence fur the spectators. |

HAREO’3 EIGHTEEN-FOOT BOAT.

By this time the priaog official*, the i I priests and officers in command of the 11 troop, had endured so much that they i openly denounced the acting executioner 1 and called upon him to get down from the I . scaffold and let another man take hia | ’ place. Thereapon the acting executioner , I feverishly called upon the executloner-in- ■ : chief, Valentine Ruix. who from long ex- > ; perience ia looked upon a* being an ia hi* line. Itoix. however, wa, almort a, nervou, 1 ] and excited as bl* assistant and fumbled badly as be handled the third Cuban. But ' he succeeded in accomplishing the execu- i • ton in shorter time and with less horror than hi* assistant The fourth Cuban | wa* then turned over to Ruiz. By thi, time Ruix wa, shaking al! over and he wa, much slower and considerably duta•ier in rending the unhappy man out of rhe world. 8s much ao that there wa, renewed murmuring at the official in<-a-pacity and Uni* stumbled away from the death post, insisting in choking tone, that hl* assistant must finish the day’s work. Consequently the assistant executioner again tried hia hand at the terrible screw and was as urjucky as before, for there was another scene of horror which nearly caused strong men to faint before the fifth Cuban's life was pronounced extinct. Horror Caused in Washington. The mes«age from Havana giving the fetalis of the killing of five prisoners by the garrote raised a cry of horror in Washington. Senor Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish m.i.'.s’.er. admitted that the men had been killed, but declared that the form . of punishment wa* tho one prescribed by Spanish law. He said the men were negroes, and bad been guilty of a most atrocious crime in hanging a merchant at Gulra Meleua and in killing a email boy i at the ,ame place. He said the details i of the executton had been exaggerated tv , suit tbe Cuban sentiment ia the Uaited j State* The report, to the Cuban, In Waahlagton declare that the horrible execution of i the Are men at Havana is but a sample ; of the atrocious cruelties of Captain General Weylcr in Cuba. They declare I they hare information indicating that | snch cruelties are practiced nearly every day in Cuba, and that they ar, so horrible a* to be beyond comprehension.

' TO ROW ACROSS THE ATLANTIC. Two Darias MSB In an Opsu Bust to I Crtseo tbe Ocean. Preparatloa* are well under way tor tbs mast dar.ug attempt that ba, ever te'eu awkJs to eros, tbe Ktlantte in »a op«n ' boat. G«vrg» H* •• Turk pilot, fisherman and msius* fretu b.» .ariiest yvuth, prot»jse, to tow from New York to Engfead. using an erd.nary rew boat. buH? tflrr plant by •u 4 lli'endcd to show the improvement whudi be claim, may be made in the litcbvst, now in use. No saUtng will be done on thi, extraordinary trip. Harl»» say, be a .11 pull oat into the A'lautic with a companion, about the middle of June, and that from then oa they will row to Korops. The two men will tak" turns in rowing tbe boat, each working about eighteen hour, a day. Hartto estimates than an average of about four knots an hour, day and u.gbt. can be made in tin, way. According to this they would make tbe paesage u> from forty to forty-live days. Tbe boat ba, been built with a stout pw»w of oak running along the bottom and separated from the keel. Harbo coolly say* that thi, I, for the two men to lash tbetuwlvee to when rite boat I, upset and tbe eea is too rough f®t tbem to right her. Each man in very rough weather la to be lashed at tbe end of a teng line, tied about hi, waist, which will bold him to tbe boat when he 1* »wrpt overboard, whi -h Harbo expects wffl occur as a matter of course. In fact, it would seem that although the trip is to be made in Juns and July, liar!-, looks forward to tbe ’ roughest kind of a time and will only be disappointed if he encounter* uniformly mild weather. The boat I* 18 feet long with a 3-foot beam. She i» clinker-built, of cedar, with oak timber, and weighs pound*, drawing when light but three Inches of water. Tbe toad which is to lie pot into her. however, will increase her draft to seven inches. She has the gen- I eral appearance of a double-ended sea I skiff. There Is an air tight compartment | in either end of tbe boat some twenty | , inches di-ep and three feet six inches long. Thete two tanks will make the boat unsinkable when they are intact. Next to the forward compartment there will be a twenty-gallon sbeetiron water tank, which will conform exactly to the shape of the boat. Four other small tank, of a capacity of ten gallon, each will •occupy the corresponding position at the etern. A canvas cover, under which the men may sleep, will button over the forward <-nd of tbe boat. The men will carry extra oar, and a large pair of sweep,, using the latter when they work together. There, with the instruments, cooking utensil* and other necessities, will take up much of the spare room. The pro- I i visions are to con,;,: largely of canned i

g >-d* and oatenmeaL The latter will be esp«--hii:y .sefuL a« sea water may be used io boiling it The canned food* will be aelected so aa to resist the great heat of a calm midsummer day on the ocean. Two spirit compasses will be fixed in the bott mos the boat When the sea is so rough that little or no headway can be made by miring, the men will throw over a sea anchor made of canvas and opening like an umbrella. Harbo claims that two hours of work at the oar will make up for the drift of twenty-four hours in a storm with the sea anchor out. Changes of • clothing for the men will be taken in a water-tight case. Their underclothing is to be lined with silk so as to avoid chafing. Harbo is 32 years of age, and Las spent his life upon the sea. ITALIANS SHOW FIGHT. Attempt to Break Ont of the Deportation Pen at EllU Island. It was one continuous round of excitem» nt on Ellis island Tuesday. Twice a large body of Italians, held for deportatioa, made desperate attempts to escape from their place of imprisonment, and but for the courage and alertness of the few keei>ers and inspectors who bad them in charge riot and bloodshed might have resulted. It was shortly after 10 o’clock when the first outbreak occurred. There were 230 savage looking men. mostly Italians, shut inside the “to be deported” pen on the second t! >..r of the main building. Suddenly there was a murmur among them. It increased to a growl and to a howl of defiance and rage. Hundreds of • the wire work of the pen. It began to bend and in a moment more would have givan way had nut the keepers ruined up snd down outside, pounding the protruding fingers. Dr. .Sooner early in the day realised the gravity of the situation. He telegraphed to Washington that he must have more he.p. Jtsst when all seemed peace the A.-z-.aa. the steamer which takes the instr.: gran’s from Ellis island to the battery, steamed in. As the released immigrants | ran to board her some of them shouted |to the throng of "detained." In a momeat ail was excitement ggain. A fierce rush was made. Savage bUws were *trr , 'k at the ofisc.ala, and more than one kn.fe was drawn in the crowd. The officials went at the undisciplined mob fiercely. and after a few minutes’ fighting the little knot of breathless officers had ths crowd subdued. Sparks from the Wires.
