A WELL SET
ALEXANDRIA , July 27. The situa
tion is much different from what it
was described to bo last night. It
was reported last night Seymour had
received tenders from the Egyptian
commander of Aboukir fort to surren
der the fort nnd turn the entire garrison -
risen of 2,000 men to the Khedive.
This was hailed within the British
lines ns the beginning of the general
break up of Arnbi's forces that was to
follow the offer of amnesty , which the
Khedive proclaimed the day before.
Seymour nt once dispatched the Ejiyp *
tian transport ship Clwrkot to take away
the garrison and land troops to disable
the guns. Much anxiety was mani
fested last night at th non return of
the voEscl. During the night the anx
iety was increased by the movements
of Arabi's troops , which went nbout
in largo bodies just outside the British
outposts. It was supposed that Arabi
was preparing to give the Bri ish a
night surprise. Once a body of native
tivo troops went so near the English
lines that the British opened fire ,
which was not returned , however. It
is evident thia morning Arabi had
been attempting to draw the British
land force awuy from their base
and then attack them. When the
English force to take Aboukir neared
its destination , it WAR amtix'd * , o learn
Seymour had rent them on nn impos
sible expedition. The force was in
formed before it attempted to near the
shore that the commander of Aboukir
wasloral ty Arabi ; that ho and his
men meant to hold the uituation for
Arabi nnd were willing to give battle
in defense of their position. The ex
pedition returned without having ac
complished anything more than hav
ing saved themselves from falling into
what was evidently a well prepared
trap fcr their destruction.
ARABI BEGINNING TO FIGHT.
Arabi's force is now advancing upon
the British linop. They are in great
numbers and well arrayed. It is evi
dent Arabi's forcu mean to make an
attack. Native troops have approached
'
ed within range of tlio English 'be
tween Ramleh and Aboukir and open-

A tremendous conflagration broke
cut in the native quarter of the city
this morning and is raging fiercely.
As seen from the harbor it appears
larger than any tiuco tire bombard

VICTORY FOR THE EGYPTIANS.
CAIRO , July 27. It lus been nearly
imposbiole to get any news from Alex

tivo troops fairly overpowered the
English , notwithstanding a moat stub-
burn resistance.
ARA11I PROCLAIMS A HOLY WAR.
ALEXANDRIA , duly 27. Tremendous
ous energy is shown within the lines of
Arabi. His forces are being aug
mented every day. All the enlist
ments are for a holy war. The sol
diers are perfectly loyal to him , and
there are no well authenticated stor
ies of dissensions in his ranks. Arabi
has proclaimed a holy war , and do-
nounccs the Khedive as a traitor to
Egypt , purchased with Christian gold ,
and now engaged in an attempt to
turn over the land of Egypt to chria-
lian speculators , IIu has ordered
that any caught within his lines
with n copy of the Khedivo'a
proclamation offering amnesty to
returning rebels shall bo declared nn
outlaw and shot.
Ono thousniid additional English
troops were landed to-day by the Or
leans. She will go hence to Pore Said
and there Innd four hundred marines.
Native incendiaries are agtxin auccoed-
ing in firing the city in the native
quarters , where , since midnight the
largest conflagration over witnessed
since thu bombardment has been rag
ing.
DESPISING THE KHEDIVE ,
1:30 : P. M. It is believed t o lifo
of the Khedive will bo attempted.
Native bitterness against him is in
creasing. Men whom he trusts do-
cpiso him and constantly communicate
with Arabi. To-day three prominent
adherents of the Khedive openly join
ed Arabi ,
It is believed the terrible fires rag
ing this afternoon are the direct result
of the movements of Arabi's ' forces
last night ,

A Nuptial Event of the First
Magnitude Witnessed
by Hundred ,
The Reception nt the Residence of
the BrmoVi Pnrouts-Tho
Woildluc Gifts.
St. Philomona's Cathedral was the
scene yesterday morning of n brighi
and joyous assembly who wcro pros
out to witness the imposing ccromou
ios , which , according to the ritual o
the Catholic church united in the holy
bonds of matrimony Mr. Charles Hnn-
loy to Miss Anna Nichol. The morn
ing , which Inul boontthrcatoningbroko
into a storm of rain , ntid doubtless
kept away many , who would have
boon otherwise attracted to the church
in accordance with the annouucomonl
made in the newspapers. The wol !
known character and popularity ol
the parties in tares ted were suillcionl
to crowd the cathedral with
their numerous friends nnd the
solemn service will not soon
bo * forgotten. Captain ilnnloy has
loug boon a resident of Omaha ,
and ono of the most faithful and re-
spectcd of her citizens. For the past
docndo ho has been in control of the
freight handling department of the U ,
P. railroad at the transfer , until ho
recently declined any further service
and turned hio attention to the more
lucrative business of a wholesale nnd
retail grocor. Ho is one of the old
Koldiora' having entered the army
from Illinois , at an ago when boys are
usually at school , and served gallantly
through the entire war. For dis
tinguished bravery and conduct in the
field , ho was promoted to the cap
taincy of his company and was ono ol
tlut invincible baud who "inarched
with Sherman to the sea " Ho is an
officer of the Grand Army of the Ru-
public and acted on Memorial
Day as ono of the cluol
marshals , The captain is still in the
flush of his manhood , ana never look
ed younger or better than on yester
day , when ho stood before the altar
and took unto himself a good wife ,
which , as the holy book says , "is a
crown unto her husband. " The
young bride is too well known among
the select circle of her friends , and
her family ia too highly respected in
this city whcio they have so lon
lived and prospered to need any
further words. The richness and
modesty of her marriage robes , the
sweet simplicity of her demea
nor and graceful yet tremulous way
in which she gave away her hand , with
her i heart in "iVmade a deep impres ;
: i' '
and perfect illustration of the lines ,
so of ton quoted where two persons in
the bloom of liso are united
"Two souls with but a single thought ,
Two hearta that beat as one. "
It is unnecessary to describe the
rites of the church so often detailed in
these columns , nnr the dresses of
those in attendance , for wo could not
do justice to them.
It will suffice to wish Mr. and Mrs.
Hanloy a long , happy and prosperous
life , among those who know , respect
and esteem them ao well. The re
ception at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. Nichol , on 17th street , was quite
a recherche affair and the display of
wedding presents and the other ac
companiments of such a delightful
occasion was brilliant and attractive.
Many were the compliments and con
gratulations received by the linppy
couple.
IN THE EVENING.
All day long the house at which the
reception was held was crowded with
guests , and last evening the Emmett
Monument association , after an inter
esting meeting at their hall , adjourn
ed mil body to the residence of the
bride's parents to pay their respects
to the newly married couple. The
, 'room was a prominent member of
: hoEmmetts and the society was repre
sented on this occasion by not less
: han seventy of his follow members.
The Irish-Aniorican band also called
luring the ovenim ? , and gave Mr. and
Vlr * . Ilanloy a delightful serenade.

THE FAST MAILS.
It has leaked out , says the Indian
apolis Journal , that the Chicago roads
were not satisfied with the pay that
the government proposed to give them
for running the fast mail train from
Chicago to Omaha , the postal depart
ment not being w'lllng to pay but 81
per mile for hauling the train , and
that but one way , they not caring to
have the mail brought east by a fast-
mail train , the present express train
being fast enough for east bound ser
vico. One dollar per inilo both ways
would pay. The Wabash people ,
however , propose to make the mail
servicu fast both ways , thinking it an
excellent opportunity to advertise the
lines which it controls.
81'UCIAL HATKH.
The cllicial report of the proceed
ings of the Chicago Association of
HoiiLTal passenger agents at its regu
lar monthly mooting a few days ago
shown that various matters of interest
were transacted which were not given
to the press at the time.
It > vas resolved that tlio lines print
and place on sale a round-trip excur
sion ticket for the Mining exposition
at Denver , Col. , to include a coupon
covering two admissions to the expo
sitions ; this ticket to be sold at § 1.50
mord than the regular Colorado rates ,
nnd settlements for admission coupons
to be mndo on collections.
It was decided to make no reduc
tion in rates to the convention of the
Good Templars' ' district convention to
tu < hold in Chicago , August 10 and
17 , 1882.
For thoao wishing to attend the
Ivniglts ) of I'ythias Grand Lodge
meeting at Dutioit , Mich , , Auguct 20 ,
1882 , tlio following rates will be made :
From western and northwestern points
ono and one-third faros to Chicago and
return ,
A reduction was refused to the con
vention of the Photographers' associa
tion of America , to be held at In
dianapolis August 8 to 11,1882.
The Forestry congress nt Montreal
August 21 and 22 , 1882 , the associa
tion for Advancement of Science , at
Montreal August 21 , 1882 , were ulso
refused n reduction of rates ,
The action taken in regard to the
Knights Templar tricntml conclave at
Ban Francisco in 1883 has already
been reported , It was recommended
that the lines east of the Missouri
river adopt the flamy basis for rates as
is used by thu Pucific lines viz. ; Ono
faro for the round trip , going and re
turning thu uuino way ; and ono and
oiio-quartor fares for the round trip ,
going by ono routit and returning by
another.

St. Louis licpublican July li. ! (
The Omnha extension of the Mia-
Bouri Pacific railway is already ono of
the most profitable branches of that
extensive line , and the prospectd are
that it will become thu most potent
feeder in the system. The crops all
along thu line were tmvor finer , nnd
pretty soon the great amount of wheat
in Nebraska nnd Kansas will begin tc
move. If St. Louis grain dealers will
put forth their energies ,
nnd the wholesale trade will
do their part , the great
bulk of produce along the Omaha ex
tension can bo secured for this city.
Competition , though , will bo great ,
nnd the most formidable rivals that
St. Louia will have to contend with
are Kansas City and Chicago. At
present the wheat being received hero
over the Missouri Pacific cornea chief
ly from the Missouri river bottom
lands , where the yield is almost un
precedented. jThoshipmonts fromthoro
are so heavy just now that the rolling
stock of the road is taxed to the ut
most. Very soon the Kansas or
Union Pacific branch of the Missouri
Pacific will have all the business it
can handle , as wheat along that part
of the line is being threshed out and
will bo shipped as fast as cars can bo
had to move the stuff.
The narrow guago owned by the
Missouri Pacific , running from So-
dalia into the coal regions , is also
bringing largo quantities of wheat to
the main lino. The principal business
heretofore on the narrow guage has
been coal transportation , but this
year the yield of wheat is something
wonderful in that purt of the state.
Coal cara ure being used for the trans
portation of the coioal .tiicl.s , and the
jompany has purchased n great many
tarpaulins to bo lined on the flat cars ,
