KicimELD Strings, N. Y., Sept. 2G. Nature did not favor Emmons Blaine and Miss Anita McCormick with sunshine on their Redding day. It was dark and gloomy. with, rain-soaked clouds hovering about tho hilltops. The train that lirst came down through the hills from Utica to-day liad at its rear end a drawiug-room car ?ith appurtenances for serving meals. Every villager who stood about the depot inew that this car would be the homo of the bridal pair from this village to Bar Harbor, whither they go. without pause in any city. There was more, too, for the bystanders at Little Depot. Out of the baggage car came baskets, and hampers, and tubs, and other fixings of the caterers' art, io be used at tho wedding breakfast in the McCormick cottage immediately after tho ceremony, and afterwards was unloaded neat, small packages, big, carefully-packed bales, boxes of large and email degree, and these the depot loiterers concluded were wedding gifts from tho outer world for the young pair, in honor of Vhose wedding the village made a holiday. . Among those here who were first named by all who were inquired of, is the ' family f the groom, Secretary of State Blaine and wife, the Misses Margaret and Harriet 131aine, Walker and Jame3 G. Blaine, jr. The bride's family hero are the mother, Mrs. Cyrus McCormick. Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus McCormick, jr., Miss Virginia McCormick, Mrs. Algernon D. Sullivan, of New York, who is adaughter.and the sons, Harold and Stanley. Hon. Stephen B. Elkins and wife mre here, and Rev. Dr. John Hall, of New k'ork. The last-named did not, however, take part in the ceremony, which was performed by the Key. Dr. Herrick Johnson, M Chicago, assisted by the local pastor, Iter. 8. V. V. Holmes. Rev. Wm. L. Toinlini acted as organist. The little Presbyterian chnTch in which the ceremony took place sits upon a knoll overlooking the village. It was lighted by electric lights and its arches were trimmed with smilax. autumn leaves upon, the branches, and ferns also turning color from preen to red. The pulpit was bedded in flowers. As tho guests began arriving at the church, soon after 11:30 a. m., tho lowdragging and water-soaked clouds commenced breaking into rain. Ten minntes before the hour for the ceremony. Mr. Elkins and wife entered and were soon followed by Secretary of State Blaine and nvife. The father of the groom was pale of face and wore a wan expression, though his eyes brighted and he stepped lightly and quickly behind his wife, who led the way down to one of the plain short pews at the front. The mother of tho bride, plainly attired, entered soon afternoon, and it was now that the bridal party was making its way from the carriages to the shelter of the awning above tho pathway lrom the curb to the church porch. rihe clergymen entered the chaneel almost simultaneously, and the. young groom followed them. At that moment the bride, attired as stated would be tho case, entered upon the arm of her married brother, Cyrus. She was attired in a gown whose ntire front was of Valenciennes lace, meeting a train of white satin. The waist was of white satin. and a fichu of lace fell softly about the throat the fichu of the 6tyle of Marie Antoinette. The sleeves were of soft lace reaching to tho wrist, and the veil was caught up by a coronet of orange blossoms. Mr. Emmons Blaine awaited her upon the altar-step. and, presenting themselves. Dr. Holmes bepan reading tho marriage service as it is in the Presbyterian Church, Dr. Johnson tak ing up tho ceremony. When asking who should give the bride away, the response "was from the brother Cyrus, who advanced. and. with his baud upon the clasped hands of the bridal couple, gave his sister to the keeping of the groom. The marriage was consummated with a ring, the couple kneeling during invocation of divine bless ing upon the union. The newly-wedded pair led the procession from the church at 12:15 p. m.. em barking in carriages for a drive through the nouring rain to the McCormick cot tage, whither the invited guests followed and sat down to the wedding breakfast. Mrs. Blaine is taller than her husband, being quite tall and slender. Her hair is wholly black: her eyes aro dark, her evebrows straight and deeu black, and her complexion, if otherwise than fair, has a iiue as of hot suns upon it. iho chin is delicate, sensitive and clearly cut. Her carriage is erect. Sho had on her face, when emerging from the church, an expression of lively though not netulant in terest in the weather prevailing on her wedding day. The table on which tho wedding brcak- . fast was spread containod no lloral decorations, except an exquisite boua A A . k . ouet or American .Beauty roses in a large silver vase. Tire number of guests At the breakfast was not far from i0. They included all the guests from abroad and about seventy-five of the favored ones of Richfield Springs. Araong the pieces was a large salmon ''a la Emmons," surmounting amiuiaturt pond, in which live tish were swimming. At the other end of the table was a rustic design of boned turkey, on which was perched a life-like partridge, and designated "a la Anita." While tho breakfast was being partaken of the orchestra discoursed appropriato music on the porch. The crowd was so great that the centlemen. and many of the ladies, were obliged to stand.

Another dispatch says: Tho church in which the wedding took place was beautiiuiiy uecoratcu. Un tho walls nunc a screen of smilax ten feet above the iloor and completely encircled the sides. The space between the tloor and the screen was occupied by richly-blooming plants, in pots, ixie communion-tauio was nausea with beautiful water lilies. Tho chancel was adorned with large Abyssinian bana trees on either side, while rare palms and ncn pxanis in pois circled tne communiontable. On either side of tho chancel the arches were handsomely and profusely decorated with ferns, autumn leaves and wild clemats. At Clayton Lodge, where the McCormick family resale, the lloral decorations were of the most elaborate nature. Palms andcutllowers adorned the stone railings, and ivy hung gracefully from the pillars. In the ' hallway a tenuis net was draped against the wall from one end to the other, and was completely filled with orchids aud rare roses. On the mantle, nestled among paims anu uanxs oi roses, was a nuge rsorwegian drinking-bowl. also filled with orchids and roses. Palms stood at the foot of the stairway, aud the balustrade was worked with smilax and bridal roses. The parlors at the opening directly off the hall contained a wealth of palms, and tho large mirror mantles held a prodigious supply of bouquets of roses in fancy vases. The sitting-room was profusely decorated with Papoganta and Bennett roses. The large lire-place was bauked with roses, into which sniilax had been woven with artistic effect. The dining-room had a lattice over each win dow hung with smilax. Eight large palms stood at cither side or the four windows. Tho lire-place was effectually hidden be neath four hundred American Beauty roses and a quantity of smilax. Organist lomlins played a selection from Tannhauser during the seating of tho guests in the church, and the wedding march was Wagner's "Lohengrin.'' For the exit Mendelssohn's wedding march was played. The groom was dressed in tk well-fitting co&t of the cutaway style of line diagonal material. Tho vest was of the same material, and the trousers were light, with a very line stripe.

Persons sat down at the banquet of the Arrjy of the Tennessee at the Burnet House to-night. There was nearly an hour's delay in beginning the banquet, owing to the tardiness of the florists in making arrangements.

It was a quarter before 11 o'clock when the president, (ieneral Sherman, rapped for or der and called for toasts. Before this, howover, it is proper to mention that perhaps one-fourth of tho cuests at the banouet were ladies, the wives, daughters or sisters of the members of the Army of the Tennes see. 1 he president, General Sherman, sat at the center of a table at right angles to the tables at which the multitude feasted.

LOUISIANA'S EOGUS BONDS

Ex-State Treasurer Burke Indirectly Chanred with Their Issuance. Other Transactions of a Doubtful Character in Which He Was Interested Bonds Used to Borrow Money for Private Purposes. New Orleans, La., Sept 26. The state ment of Marsh Stoddart, cashier of the State Treasurer during Mr. Burke's term, that he had called Burke's attention in 1SS0 to the fact that coupons had been pre sented of bonds supposed to have been destroyed, was cabled to Major Barke in Lon don. In reply Mr. Burke says it is impos sible to attempt any explanation respecting publications of this character of which he is ignorant touching matters of years ago. Ho then shows how tho apparent dis crepancies might exist in the payment of coupons which are not always presented when duo. In conclusion, he says: "If I abandon my business hero I will lose result of six months' struggle. The the day mo fbr the papers are signed ' releasing from the trusts of others, I ' will Bail Louisiana. I hold myself solely and dividuaUy responsible for every act of inthe office, and no person should for an instant be permitted to bear a shadow of criticism on its account" Attorney-general Rogers, being inter viewed, said he did not think that Major Burke was surprised by the disclosures. When the affairs of his 'office wero'examiued by a legislative committee and'his books reported to be correct Major Burke naturally felt relieved. He must have known, however, that the matter would not end there, but that the defalcation in his oilice must eventually become knotni. Ho further stated that a State warrant, which had been paid lone airo. was re cently presented for payment acam, anit it was found that Burke had himself given the warrant to a bank as collateral for a loan. The Attorney-general further statod that ho had information that during Burke's occupancy of the Treasurers oyice an insurance company which nad de posited a number of State bonds for the security of local policy-holders, as required by law. aiter.Mr. Pipes became Treasurer, desired to go out of business, and demanded the return of the bonds. Mr. Pipes turned over the package placed in thovauUso the credit of the corporation by his predecessor but tho company refused to receive it on the ground that it did not contain the bonds deposited by it Their bonds were of the denomination of $1,000, and those in tho packages returned were $100 bonds. There was a difference in the value of the securities, and the company naturally wanted. its own bonds. The matter was callod to the attention of Major Burke, and he made Kood the difference by giving his check for S17G. Judge Kogers said that brokers and other holders of fraudulent bonds wcro averse to giving any information ns,to where they got them. This was all wrong, he 6aid, for it was the duty of every one, to assist in clearing un the matter to protect the innocent and to bring the guilty to pun ishment. He thought all of those who re fused to talk now would bo induced to speak when the judicial investigation was iiiAtitnteri. It is stated that Judge Marr will charge the grand jury, when his court opens next 1 uesday. to investigate the fraudulent issiio of bonds, and to bring indictments against those who it finds were engaged in placing the invalid securities on the market Jndcre W. B. Stansburv. who was forRome time engaged with ex-Treasurer Burke in a business capacity, makes a statement show ing that, some years ago, he negotiated for Major Burke, at different timet, loans amounting to thousands of dol lars, always depositing as collateral State bonds handed to him by Major Burke for that purpose. In the first transactions. made in lb&l and 1685, the numbers of the bonds were kept. Comparing them with the numbers now -published bv Treasurer Pipes as fraudulent, ho finds that among ' the bonds handled by him there were nearly $20,000 fraudulent After the first few transactions he did not keep the numbers, because Burke told him it was not necescary. as ne murjtei nau inem. io many of these bonds overdue coupons werp . 4 ati?fh!?" u i " of email amounts were made by some of tho Dll. OlitUSUUlY UI9U DdVB, AAD 1UUI13 brokers, and in two or three instances by coiion iirms in mo cuy. xne transactions . . a a a . . a a. . - mi a - with banks were with tho heads of the institutions. The bonds were in every in stance accepted without question, no word being uttered to excite suspicion that they were not regularly issued and valid obliga tions of the Mate. As such 1 negotiated them, and I had no doubt of their validity until tne recent disclosures." ,i Mr. Stansbury's statement was made on tho advice of his attorney.

St. John's Silver-Coinage Measure. I. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 26. It was after 11 o clock belore president rarsons ca illed tho second session of the annual conyen tion of American bankers to order. Rev. Honry Hopkins, pastor of the First Con gregational Church, of this city, opened the proceedings with prayer. Various pa pers on subjects of interest to bankersatid several resolutions of no general import were referred, withont reading, to the1 executive council to be appointed for the ensuing year, with instructions to report at the next annual meeting. 'A resolution from the lscw lork delegation, recom mending to Congress that such action be taken as will revive the American merchant marine, was adopted. A resolution oflercd by Mr. White, of Cincinnati, by tquest of the Fourth National Bank. of Chicago, calling upon Congress to proyjdo for at least one more regular statement early of the condition of tho national anks was adopted. it l no reports of the omcers were then ireceivetl. That of the treasurer. George. F. Baker, of New York, showed a cash bal ance on hand of S10.11S.56. This, and all balances, the executive committee was em powered by the convention to invest. 1 he secretary's report showed a net increaao in members dnring the past year of 157, the total membership now being 1,870. The auditing committee reported that it hful found the treasurers report to be correct. Mr. Sueed, of Kentucky, offered a resolu tion that it was the sense of the conven tion that Section 51fJS of the Revised Stat utes of the United States, governing na-l tional banks, should be so amended by Congress as to expunge the clause govern ing forfeiture of interest. Mr. Sneed de fended tho resolution in a long speech, and condemned usury laws in general. The resolution also proposed that nil banks should be amenable to the State laws of the State in which they were located. It was not just that a heavy penalty should be metea out to national banks lor usiry when the State banks were not amenable to the same law. They hhould all be put on tho same basis. The New York delegation opposed tho resolution. In their State, tho speakers said, tho State law was much more severe in its penalty than the national law. They did not want the change. Mr. Butler, of Connecticut, condemned the law. Ho thought there should be no laws govern ing the rates of interest they oucht to bo allowed to bo governed by themselves. Supply and demand was the only law that would operate justly to both theloauerand borrower, lie urged the adoption of tho resolution. The resolntion was referred to a special committee consisting of J. R. Mulvane, of Topeka: W,. P. Johnson, of Birmingham. Ala., and J. D. Chick, of Kansas City. Tho committee - reported, recommending that Congress be reonested to amend the law in question so that the penalty would be the forfeiture ot only the amount of interest collected over the legal amount. Tho liveliest discussion of the convention occurred over the report of the executive council recommending that the paper read

by Mr. St. John, yesterday, outlining a

proposition to require the 1 reasurer oi tne United States to coin $4f000,0U0 of silver each month, and retire in the same proportion the United States legal-tender notes, so that, without effecting the amount of currency circulating at par, the paper could be retired conveniently, be referred to the next executive council. The recommenda tion provoked a long debate, tho question being whether the matter should bo referred or submitted to immediate discus sion by the convention. During the discussion Hon. John C. Knox was brought to his feet by the statement of a Western delegate that he was a gold mono-ractalist. Mr. Knox declared that ho was not a believer in gold as the sole coin metal, but he was in favor of gold as the standard. Mr. Knox moved that the executive council consider, in connection with Air. bt. John s proposition, the question of issuing silver certificates to the full valne of tho silver issued in coin. - Mr. St. John opposed the motion, and called lor the yeas and nays. Ho did not think that a proposition so entirely foreign to the one he had placed before the convention should be tacked on to it to confuse tho minds of tho executive council. After some discussion Mr. Knox withdrew his motion and a plan was adopted to fully consider Mr. St John's proposition, and take a xote on it by mail after the executive council had sent its report to the delegates. The nominating committee made its re6 on, recommending the re-eiection or harles Parsons, of St. Louis, as president of the association, and Morton McMichael as vice?president The report was adopted. The new executive council, made up of ono delegate from each State represented and the vice-presidents, are, with very lew exceptions, the same as last year. The new executive council met immediately after its election, and chose Georgo F. Baker, of New York, to succeed himself as secretary. and W. B. Green to succeed himself as treasurer. Afterothe passage of the usual compli mentary, motions, the convention ad journed, to meet a year hence in some city to bo chosen hereafter by the executive council. This.oveninsr the many delegates who did not f ake tho night trainshome attended the receptions at the various clubs given in their honor. DAILY WEATHER BUIXETIN. ' Xrocal Forecasts.

RAILWAY TICKETS. How the Companies Protect Themselves Against Possible Frauds by Dishonest Men. New York Star. Not one in ten of the people who travel and Americans are the greatest travelers on earth, as well as the most inquisitive realize the complexity of the railroad sysiuia mu. &uu uuibvu ubui'VOy m. iuu a n.va Wav C. E. Grey, the well-known railway pas senger agent, to me yesterday. 'Vhen people complain of the long strip of printed paper that thp ticket agent care fully stamps and presents to them in an envelope neatly folded, they never think of tne uses to wnicn tbat ticket, is put alter they have given it to the conductor and finished their ride. Let me explain. Tickets are called local or foreign, ac cording as they read between terminal points on the issuing line, or to points beyond tho lines of the issuing corporation. They aro printed on the order of the general passenger agent. in lots of loo.ouu, each lot having a serial number, and the tickets in each lot being numbered consecutively. The initial point is left blank, to be inserted when agents at various points make requisitions for tickets. These are known as "blank stock" tickets. Each destination has a separate form number, without reference to the in itial point; so that a ticket reading To St. Louis,1 would have the same form number, whether sold at rs e w York. Philadelphia or a way station. When the ticket are sent by the printer to the general passenger agent, the bill for printing them is sent to the auditor of the road, who charges the general passenger agent on his books with that invoice. When a local agent needstickets, he fills out a blank fomu of requisition, which he sends to the general passenger agent, who stamps the ticket called for with the number of the ollico making the requisition, and the name of that oilice as an initial point, and sends them to the local agent with an itemized invoice; tho local agent then checks up the invoice to see that it tallies with his requisition and the tickets sent, records it in a book furnished him for that purpose, signs a certificate that it is correct, and forwards it, with the certificate attached, to the auditor, who credits the general passenger agent with the number of tickets issued, and charges the in voice to the local agent individually. "In selling tuese tickets the agent must follow the consecutive numbers and make daily and monthly reports, showing the form number and consecutive number of those sold. This report is sent to tho auditor, who records the report of each office in a separate book. You would naturally think that the agent was then relieved from further responsibility for the tickets he has sold, but it is not so. The conductor receives the ticket, punches the coupon, tears it off, and at the end of his run turns it in with others to the ticket receiver at his terminal point, who assorts them and returns them to the auditor with bis own report every day. The auditor turns to tho agent's report book, checks the coupon on the agent's report, and, when all tho coupons reported aro in his hands, credits the agent with the tickets named in his report, which balances his account so far as that report is concerned. The cash received by tho agent has, of course, been turned over to the treasurer, as soon as possible after its receipt. If the agent has accidentally spoiled or torn a ticket, he preserves it or returns it to the anditor with his report, and he is credited with it. "When tickets in the hands of an agent are stolen, or aro missing, the agent reports at once to the auditor, who sends a special agent from his own office to examine the ofiice reporting the loss. All tickets reported missing by this special agent are at once outlawed,"' and all roads over whose lines tho coupons thereon read are not i tied, but these tickets are still carried on the auditors book as a charge against the agent's account. After notification, foreign roads accept 'outlawed tickets at their own risk. It the outlawed ticket turns up, the blue stamp on the back (which is necessary to the validity of all tickets) is examined, and if the date of this stamp is one day previous to the agent's report of loss, the agent must pay for the ticket, if after the report, the agent is credited with the ticket. Sometimes it becomes necessary to change a form or withdraw it from sale. In this case the general passenger airent requests theauditorby lettertorecall all tickets bearing that form number, which is done by a formal letter from the auditor to the agent, which forms part of the records of tho agent's office. Upon his return of all tickets in his office so recalled ho is credited with them and relieved of responsibility for them. At the end of the month the anditor sends'a statement to each connecting road, showing each ticket sold byhisagents over that road dnring the month, whereupon the connecting road draws on the selling road for its proportion of the ticket sales. Leased lines are operated as separate corporations in this respect. Connecting roads check npthe auditor's statement by the coupons they have collected during the month, ana if any coupons have been collected that do not appear on the statement they do not look for them in their own offices, but request the welling road to report to them the date of sale. They may have been reported the preceeding mouth; but railroads take nothing for granted, and will not credit tho selling road until specially advised. Local tickets aro reported and turned in to the auditor by the selling agant at the close of business every day, cud dtrcyed vhzzx

Ind quite up to perlection without properly accounted for. In tho case of foreign tickets the coupons are kept for one year. "Now, I have traced the ticket from tho printer until it has been taken up, canceled and returned to tho auditor. At the closo of the year during which tho coupon is kopt.it is taken to the 'foreign ticket room' in the auditor's office, and placed in chargi of the chief clerk of that room, who puts it in a lock-box, of which he holds the key. Then he takes the box to another room, always accompanied by a "witness, turns its contents into a macerator retaining a full and complete statement of each ticket or coupon in the box, closes and locks the macerator, turns on the steam and hot water, and together with his witness watches until the tickets are reduced to pulp, which is afterward dried and Rent to the naper-mill to reappear as new ticket. The system, as you see, is extremely complicated, but it is as perfect a system of checks and balances as can be devised. Under it a would-be swindler would have a short rope." KOBERT BOXNEirS STABLES. Maud S. and Karus IVell Provided for by Their Millionaire Owner. Brooklyn Eagle. Hunters, racers and big horses for coach and other four-in-hand work, with tho polo pony, have quite shoved the trotter and the red, spider-wheeled buggy out of the high place it onco held in American affection, and both on the race-track and m the private stable the light legged 2:20 speeder is becomming a rarity. A lew old New Yorkers still cling to the loves of their earlier years and look upon a trotter as the highest type of equine perfection and worthy of all the luxury and attention they used so generally to receive in the past, Robert Bonner is ono of these; perhaps, because he owns the greatest trotter in existence, whose record Las never been broken and probably never will be, since the breeding of trotters has so much declined. Mr. Bonner goes to church in Dr. Hall's fashionable Presbyterian temple ou Fifth avenuo, and immediately behind it stand his handsome stables, which, like tho church, are built of brick and overgrown with vines. Ho is a regular attendant on Sundays upon Dr. Hall's ministrations, and a still more regular attendant upon Maud S. He paid W. H. Vanderbilt 10,000 for her, and when the latter repented of his bargain and offered him 60,0u0 to get tho light-heeled lady back ho utterly rel used to consider the question of parting fnmi his equine charmer, and has steadily refused every oiler since They say at the stables that Maud is provided for in the rich publisher's will, and whether he lives or dies she will pass all her days in luxury and ease. Immediately after church ou Sundays he steps around to tho stables to see how she is, and give her a lump of sugar, whilb she rubs her velvet nose on his shoulders, and makes little feminine sounds of pleasure She is very fond of Bonner as her master and protector, but her real love is Murphy, tho jockey, whose very step she knows, though she only sees him once in a long while. She never forgets him, no matter how much time elapses between their meetings. Bonner drives her quite frequently in tho park and sometimes on the roads about f arrytown, where she spends the summer on his farm, bhe has just como homo Iroui the country and taken up her quarters in town again, for Bonner does not linger lato in the country in autumn, and wants her here when he comes. Another famous horso in these Bonner stables is Karus, who has developed a shocking temper and a pair of tender feet in his declining years, and is really of very little fiervice, though Bonner Joves and cares for him for the wonderful horse he has been, for that matter still is, barring these littlo discrepancies. Dexter died in Ihese stables, and, indeed, old horsemen are inclined to take oil' their hats in passing the place from a reverential feeling that this is a sort of shrine of American horsellcsh. while Bonner himself feels that respect for himself only possible to the man who has been the owner of three of the most famous horses in the world. Maud wears a blanket embroidered with this legend: "Maud S., Cueeu of the Turf." und above her hangs the only whip with which sho was ever struck, on the day that she mado her great unbroken record. This whip is the property of her adored Murphy, who keps it as a precious relic. Pei haps ahe loves him because he is the only man who ever struck her. A New Insurance Company. A charter has been granted to the Indiana Millers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company, with a capital stock of $100,000. C. L. Cutter, of this city, has been elected president; W. S. Blish, of Seymour, vice-president; E. E. Perry, of this city, secretary and treasurer, and J. W. Hahn, of Toledo, general agent.
