IjtKw sbter, iibtw WELLMAN IS ALL RIGHT Eut His Dirigible Balloon Is Lost Picked I Almost Midway Between teras And Bermuda The Walter Wellman airship pedition was rescued from its crippled 1 craft yesterday morning by the 1 Royal Mail Steam Packet steamer Trent about 250 miles westward from Bermuda and 350 miles east of Gape llatteras. The crew, including the cat, was brought safely aboard the Trent after much difficulty, but the giant airship was abandoned. It rose high in the air and was blown away by the wind. The America left Atlantic City Sunday morning about 8 in a fog. The same evening it came near colliding with a schooner off Barnegat.

The last wireless message from the America was received at the Siasconset Station at 12:45 p. m. Sunday, at which time it was off Nantucket island, intending to sail northwest along the steamer lanes to Europe. That off Nova Scotia, a storm blew the big dirigible far to the southward. The worked badly, the menaced by lightning and gasoline had to be thrown into the sea.

Other mishaps occurred until Wellman decided to look for assistance. The finding of the Trent was providential as few vessels pass in that part of the ocean. The America was 71 hours in the air, a record, and traveled about 850 miles. Mr. Wellman is not discouraged and plans another trip.

Baltimore Sun. IN THE CIRCUIT COURT Most Of This Sessions Taken Up With Jewell vs. Duvall Suit Other Cases Pending The whole of the morning session of the Circuit Court today was taken up with the hearing of the case of Jewell, contractor, against Joseph Duvall, which was taken up yesterday and was still before the Court when that body met this morning. The case, which is being tried before the Court, rather than a jury, involves a bill from Mr. Jewell against Mr.

Duvall for work alleged to have been done on the home of the latter. The work of the grand jury continues and among the nutters which will undoubtedly come from that body shortly is the indictment of James Crump, a negro who is charged with murder. Crump killed another negro in the upper part of the county some weeks ago, and his case, with that of Brown, an Annapolis negro, charged with killing his make two serious criminal cases for the present term. Card Of Thanks undersigned desire herewith to express thanks to all friends who offered condolence in their recent bereavement at the death of their beloved son and brother, JOHN GROVER BATZER, and especially to express grateful appreciation to all those who sent floral tributes. FREDERICK BATZER and FAMILY, 175 Duke of Gloucester street.

1G LEU ART, No 5 i School Street. olltf AN ARMY-NAVY WEDDING Miss Eleanor Dashiell Is Married To Lieut. Julian S. Hatcher United States Army THE SERVICE AT ST. The Ushers Former Classmates Of The Groom Mho Is Graduate Of The Nival Academy A Mixfure Of Uniform Of Both Branches Of The Service At 4 this afternoon in St.

Anne's Protestant Episcopal Church a wedding that was of more than usual interest both in Army and circles was performed by the recto the Rev. Joseph P. McComas, who united in marriage Miss Eleanor Dashiell and Lieut. Julian SommerviHe States Army. The bride is a daughter of the late Naval Constructor Robert B.

Dashiell and Mrs. Eleanor Ridout-Dashiell, of Murray Hill, this city, and the groom is the son of Mr. L. L. Hatcher, of Winchester, and Mrs.

Hatcher, a member of the faculty of Fort Loudon Seminary, at Winches! ter. St. Church was filled with relatives and friends of the young couple, and a representative gathering of service people, both from Washington and Annapolis. The altar was banked with white chrysanthemums behind which glimmered the vesper lights, lending that religious which was most effective. Palms, ferns and white chrysanthemums were used with effect in the chancel.

Before the ceremony the organist and choirmaster, Mr. Arthur Edward the following musical program: Grand March from Verdi; Berceause, from Goddard; Pilgrims Chorus from Tannhauser, Wagner. As the bridal party entered the strains of the Bridal March, from Lohengrin-Wagner pealed forth, and during the service special selections were played, including Evening from Tannhauser, and as a recessional the wedding march from Night's Mendelssohn. The bride entered the church with her uncle, Prof. Paul J.

Dashiell, U. S. who gave her in marriage. They were met at the altar by the groom and his best man, Passed Midshipman A. S.

Dysart, 'O9, Naval Academy, now attached to the U. S. S. Tennessee. The ushers are classmates of the groom at the Naval Academy were Passed Midshipman B.

and li. E. Lindsy, of the U. S. S.

Delaware; Passed Midshipman J. J. Broshek and T. E. Van Meter, of the U.

S. S. Connecticut, and Midshipmen R. H. English and B.

S. Bullard of the Naval Academy. The only attendant was her sister. Miss Nancy Weems Dashiell, who was maid of honor. The groom was in full Army uniform of his rank and the best man and ushers were all in Navy uniform of their respective ranks, the commingling of Army and Navy uniforms giving a distinctive military air to the wedding ceremony.

The bride was gowned in an exquisite robe of ivory satin draped with marquisette, and caught with bunches of white satin roses, whose petals were made of the soft material of the gown. The neck and sleeves were of handsome duchess lace edged with strings of pearls, the tulle veil, which reached to the end of a demitain, was held in place in her hair with a coronet of orange blossoms, and she carried a shower bouquet of bride roses, lillies of the valley and maiden hair fern. The maid's gown was an exquisite creation which became her blonde beauty wonderfully well. It was of Army blue chiffon draperies of the same tone, arranged in panels like the petals of a rose and caught gracefully near the edge of the skirt with tiny sprays of satin rose buds, panels of gold and blue gave a touch of richness to the handsome gown. Her hat was a large blue velvet Gainsborough faced with Army blue chiffon silk and covered entirely with a long willow plume in Army blue.

To carry out the Coast Artillery colors (the groom being attached to that branch of the service,) the maid of honor carried an armfull of Richmond roses, whose scarlet hue blended perfectly with her rich costume. The bride's mother looked handsome in an empire dress of black crepe de bodice of jet and yoke of gold lace with a touch of sapphire chiffon. After the ceremony at the church a reception was held at the home of the mother, Southgate avenue and Franklin street, Murray Hill, for relatives and the bridal party. The house decorations were white and yellow chrysanthemums, autumn leaves and palms. The bride cut the wedding cake with the groom's sword.

An orchestra from the Naval Academy band furnished music. The bride was the recipient of a large number of handsome and elegant presents from all parts of the world. This afternoon Lieut, and Mrs. Hatcher left for Fortress Monroe, I i where the groom, who is to the Coast Artillery, is stationed. The groom is a graduate of the Naval Academy Class 09', but was recently transferred to the Army.

I AND MARYLAND GAZETTE ANNAPOLIS, MD. WEDNESDAY 19, 1910. SAID TO BE A DESERTER Marine Formerly In Extraordinary Case Epes Winthrop Sargeant, recruit of the Marine Corps at League Island, who is declared in dispatches from Portland, to be a deserter from Company Sixth Artillery, has disappeared. No longer does the glad raiment of the millionaire gladden the sight of the marines at the yard, and they are wondering whether they will I ever get that barrel of beer promised by the plutocrat who for a short space tarried in their midst. Two short days ago Sargeant came from Chicago, where he had enlisted, Yet in those two days he made Marine Corps history.

He raised the local detachment of marines high in the estimation of their fellows the seacoast over, for the Philadelphia aggregation owned a millionaire. Now he is gone, and none of his mates will receive that dollar apiece he promised them. Three hundred of the were going to touch Sargeant for one dollar each today, but that dream has been dissipated i with the disappearance of the pride 1 of the Corps. When word came from Portland jto the effect that the man was a de! sorter nothing could be done by the local authorities, the telegram not having been official. The matter was mentioned to Sargeant and he airily brushed suspicion aside extraordinary thing, you know, this he said.

in it at all, old chap, believe Then he applied for leave of got it. He has not come back. leave of absence was up at 6 this morning, and to date nothing has been heard or seen of him. Sargeant Major Hulbard shook his head sadly when questioned on the subject. I guess deserted, all right, all he said.

Until the man has been gone ten days, however, he is merely without and no effort will be made to catch him. On little cot in the barracks is a suit of pink silk pajamas. His neat traveling bag, with its silver manicure set inside, remains beside his bed. These things are visible signs of the glory that once belonged to the Corps, but the men shake their heads and pass they did not get that barrel of beer. To lose a man who could promise a barrel of beer every time the marines won a football game was a severe blow.

To lose a man who had the nerve to promise to lend money to everybody in sight as often as they wanted it was still more sad, but the crowning misfortune of all was the cancellation of a theater party scheduled for tonight. Taxicabs were to have drawn up to the navy yard gate, and the marines, resplendent in full dress uniforms, were to have entered the machines, driven to the theater, and forever and for aye to have settled the question of social supremacy over the sailors at the station.

AT HOTEL MARYLAND Permanent Guests At Popular Hostelry For Winter Hotel Maryland, the Messrs. Smith proprietors, is now down to business in earnest for the winter.

(Communicated). Now that the Congressional primary is over and the Hon. J. Enos Ray has been fairly nominated as the democratic standard bearer in this district, and as the majority shall rule is one of the cardinal principles of the democratic party, he is entitled to the earnest support of every sincere democrat and particularly those who participated in the primary contest. It is dishonorable for a man to take part in a primary meeting and then vote against the nominee, simply because his favorite in the contest was defeated and 1 cannot believe there are many such in dear old Anne Arundel.

Mr. Ray is mentally qualilied to represent us in congress and is an honest, straight-forward democrat, and as such, believes in the traditions, history and principles of the democratic party and what more should any democratic voter demand of his candidate? It would be most mortifying should the election be so close in the district that the vote of Anne Arundel County should decide it and elect the republican candidate. It is the duty, therefore, of every democrat to turn out on the day of election, Tuesday, November the Bth, 1910, and cast his vote for Mr. Ray; GEO. WELLS, Chairman Democratic State Central Committee for Anne Arundel County.

DOG CATCHER ENLISTS 1 Throws Ip His Job For The Dog Of War With a vision of Deweys anil Schleys, and seeing Wellman balloons drop oranges from their flight overhead to a United States battleship. City Dog Catcher John 11. Fisher has thrown up his job for the navy, arid literally snapped his fingers in the face of all the common curs in town. Annapolis is now minus a city official, and that same one a dog catcher. fhe most difficult office ably because it is fhe most thankless.

The job of catching dogs that run around the town loose, goes a-beg ging. Nobody seems to want it, and it is said that probably the proposed new ordinance of muzzling clogs will make matters worse, and had something to do with Dog Catcher resignation. that as it (with apologies to the Masqueraders) yesterday afternoon J. 11. Fisher, C.

tendered his resignation to Mayor Strange, which the Mayor received with regret. A successor has not. 1 yet been probably with all the dogs in town muzzled, there will be no need of a dog catcher. Fisher says he resigned to enlist in the navy, probably the dogs of war need his services more than the dogs of Annapolis. He has made a good dog catcher, even at the risk of his life.

Some few years ago he was badly bitten on the hand by a rabid dog, which he was attempting to capture, and he had to take the Pasteur treatment, which cost the city S3OO. Fisher left this afternoon for Norfolk, to begin his term of enlistment.
