    Hero of Manila Bay Quietly Married to
Mrs. Mildred Hazea.
WEDDING ARRANGEMENTS SECRET
Ceremony Performed ut the National
Capital—W«ddlii|[ llroakfaot Served »t
the Rent lie ih e of Mre. McLean, After
Which the Couple Leave* for Near
Pork.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—Adrm.al
George Dewey and Mrs. Mildred M.
Hazrn were married quietly at tlie
rectory of St. Paul's Catholic church
111 V street near Flrfeenth In this city
shortly before 10 o'clock yesterday. The
ceremony was performed by Kev. Jo
seph H. Foley, assistant pastor, and
Kev. Sidney Hurlbut. The ceremony
was of the simplest character accord
ing to the rites of the Catholic cliur h,
and the only witnesses besides the
officiating clergymen were Mrs. Wash
ington McLean and Mrs. Ludlow, wife
oi Admiral Ludlow, mother and sister
respectively of the bride, and Lieuten
ant Caldwell, Admiral Dewey’s secre
tary.
The arrangements for the wedding
were made with all the secrecy which
has attended the whole affair. After
procuring the license for the wedding
yesterday Lieutenant Caldwell called
on Father Mackin of Ht. Paul's, of
which Mrs. llazen Is a communicant,
and arranged for the wedding this
morning. As Admiral Dewey Is not
a Catholic a special disposition was
leqtflred, and this was procured by
Father Mackin from iilshop Curtis,
▼icar general of the diocese of Ual
tlmore, who granted It in the absence
of Cardinal Gibbons, who Is at. present
in New Orleans. Father Mackin went
to Baltimore for this purpose yester
day afternoon.
At 9:45 this morning two carriages
containing the wedding party drew up
before the modest red brick rectory In
the rear of 8t. Paul’s. The general
public had no intimation that the cere
mony was to take place and not a sin
gle spectator was present as the party
alighted. Admiral Dewey and Lieuten
ant Caldwell quickly stepped from
their carriage and the admiral assisted
the bride-elect and her mother nnd
sister from the other carriage Mrs.
HgMn was gowned in a pea'l gray
silk, over which she wore a long sty
lish black wrap trimmed with silver
fox and lined with lavender silk. The
pdmiral wore a black frock coat, gray
trousers and a silk hat.
Upon entering the rectory they were
ushered Into the reception room, where
Admiral Dewey was presented to
Father Mackin and the two clergymen
who were to assist In the ceremony.
& Upon being presenti*] to Fat he; Mack
n the admiral said that he ha>i heard
l that Father Mackin had In hi! early
years been a sailor and it gave him
additional happiness to know that he
was to be married by a clergy man
W'bo had at one time followed the rea.
Father Mackin and his assistants wore
simple black cassocks.
The ceremony was performed with
the ring, according to the nuptial rites
of the Catholic church.

FRANKFORT, Ky., Nov. 10.—The
county returni.ig boards met In all the
counties today to canvass the returns,
and until then the result of Tuesday s
election will be In doubt, lloth sides
are charging fraud.
Governor Uradley is being tele
graphed by hundreds of republicans
offering to come to the state capital
to prevent Taylor being counted out.
Chalrmun Young of the democratio
state central committee charges the
republicans with attempting to perpe
trate fraud In the mountain districts,
where the heavy republican vote lies.
Young says the official county by
county returning boards today will
give Goebel over 4,000. He also says
all minor candidates on the state ticket
win. thougli by less pluralities than
Goebel.
Senator Goebel received the follow
ing telegram tonight :
"Hon. William Goebel, Frankfort,
Ky.: Have Just learned that returns
are enough complete to insure your
election. Congratulations. I am sure
your administration will strengthen
the party. W. J. BRYAN.”
CLAIMS AND COUNTER CLAIMS.

Election,
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 10.—A confu
sion of claims and counter claims, to
quiet which the official count or per
haps a contest before tin legislature,
is fill that is left of Tuesday’* electio.i.
Above it all vehement cries of fraud,
committed or contemplated, are heard.
Each side claims the election of its
ticket by a plurality of about 4,0o0
and present figures to bark up the
claims. Thpse figures in some counties
vary widely and it is impossible to tell
which side, if either, lias accurate re
turns.
Chairman Long, of the republican
campaign committee, when asked for
an estimate of the vote on tbe guber
natorial race, said:
"1 have no estimate to vne. but I
can furnish the actual figures. On the
face of the returns Taylor'r, plurality
Is 4.136. All of the precir.e'.* have
been heard from. Twelve counties
are not official, including the returns
from Kenton and Breidbift.”

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 10—A flurry
was created In political circles today
by the claims of the democratic state
committee that Patrick (dem.) had
been elected lieutenant governor over
Caldwell (rep.). The returns show
that Caldwell had been cut heavily as
the result of the fight made against
him by the Anti-Saloon league, but
the republican committee had not glv-”
en the matter any serious attention.
Today, however, county chairmen
were asked for the vote on lieutenant
governor. Last night returns had been
received from seventy counties, which
guve Caldwell a plurality of 8,278. The
remaining counties gave Nash a plu
rality of 12,166, and as they are strong
ly republican Chairman Hick claims
the election of Caldwell with the great
est confidence. It is claimed Cald
well's plurality over Patrick will not
he less than 5,000. Revised figures on
the head of the ticket show that Nash's
plurality is 50,512.

SIOUX CITY, la., Nov. 10— Ex-Gov
ernor Altgeld of Illinois spent yester
day in Sioux City and last night lec
tured at the opera house under the
auspices cf th * local Trades and Labor
assembly. Mr. Altgeld was asked to
express an opinion on the recent elec
tions. He r aid of course it is to lie un
derstood he Is more than pleased with
the showing of the fusionists in Ne
biaska. So far as South Dakota is
concerned he expresses no apprehen
sion us to the situation with his party
in that state, even though it has gone
republican this time. Mr. Altgeld says
the fact that the republicans got a
majority at all is because the demo
crats and populists did not go to the
polls. He says the voting was done
by the lenublicans in the towns and
cities and the followers of Bryan in the
rural districts did not take enough in
terest in the election to go to the
polls.

chair car. He had just wrapped his
wife's cloak ubout her and started to
walk down the aisle when he gave a
scream and made a dash for one of the

the other passengers could stop him.
The train was stopped and ran back
to where he lay at the foot of a fifteen
foot embankment. He was uncon

score of years ago, almost to a day, Dr.
Charles B. Bessey, then as now act
ing chancellor of the university of Ne

great deal of pride that the total en
rollment of the university had reached
the unprecedented figure of GOO. This
includes those students who are com
monly known as "preps," musical stu
dents, art students and all. It w*.* a
proud day for the university and the
little body of students that were gath
ered in the chapel let Ioobc the univer
sity yell with wild enthusiasm. Yes
terday the acting chancellor announc
ed that the new students admited tills
fall numbered fiOO. This indicates the
rapid growth of the university and pre
dicts an atendance close to 2,100.
The language department of the
state university has an exceedingly
large enrollment this year. Prof, lfid
gren, head of romance languages, has
about 300 students, more than ever
before. Prof. Dossier, head of German

Tlie I'rlce of lonl.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 13.—Railway
men say that coal will probably take
on a raise about November 15, for on
that date the freight rates from me
cast will increase. For several months
past, the rate from Chicago to the Mis
souri river, on both hard and soft coal,
has been $2 per ton. After November
15 It will be 52.50 on hard coal, and
$2.25 on soft coal. While much of tl.o
coal comes from points nearer than
Chicago, yet the effect will be much the
same as for price, since the demand is
up to the limit of supply.

Normal Hrliool Notes.

Witt Miller delivered the second lec
tor of the regular lecture course on
the evening of October 31. It was
not known until that evening came
that Mr. Miller would not lecture on
the subject previously announced,
"Three-thirds of a Man." His lec
ture had as Its central thought our
sufficiency as a republic In and of
ourselves. He wove into his talk
several live topics, such as expansion,
which are looked at from different
standpoints, but which gave great in
terest to the listeners. He spoke of
our isolated position and of our great
security, and why we needed no alli
ance and why England did on account
of hostile Europe. The lecture was
well filled with genuine wit and hu
mor, as well as interest and good
lessons.
On tho 18th of November there will
he a combined musical and elocution
ary recital given in the Normal school

ready for the steel. Borne of the bridge
work is being done ahead of the track
laying and the graders are well along
with roadbed building far out toward
the Btate line. With good weather the
