Moriiinu Howell. It is no exaggeration to say that neither in fact or fancy could one picture a prettier wedding than the one that made JMiss Ursula iSormau Mrs Lnaries o. iioweu. Jne ceremony was a quiet one, being witnessed only bv the relatives and a few friends of bride and groom, no cards having been issued. The air of marked peace and solemnity surrounding the interior of St.

Paul's church, enhanced by the strains of beautiful music from the immense pipe organ, as rendered by the artistic touchjof Miss Lou Sco't, organist, the decorative fragrance and purity of the prevailing ilower, orange blossoms, the simplicity and beauty of the Lpts-copal marriage service, the fair bride in her trailing gown of white silk over which hung the mjstic folds of the bridal veil, kneeling to receive the benediction of father and clergyman as one, all combined to make this an ideal wedding. Promptly at three o'clock, the hour anrounced for the marriage rite, the wedding party entered the church. Headed by the ushers, Messrs. John Cbarjton of this city, and Eugene Par-gny, of Pittsburg, followed by the maid of honor, Miss Mary Norman, sister of the bride, came the sweet bride herself leaning on the nrm of her cousin, Prof. Jos.

Apple, of the Pittsburg IliVh School, whose duty it was to give her into the keeping of the chosen of her heart. The party were met at the chancel rail by llev. John P. Norman, rector, and at the alter awaited the groom, Chas. B.

Howell, and his best mp, John Birch, of Wheeling. Sir, impressive tones Dr. pronounced the wedding ceremony, the usual Episcopal form, including the use of the ring. As the newly made husband and wife krelt to receive the benediction, a ray of sun light fell across the bride's bowed head, and the guests take pleasure in associating this omen with the old quaint and pretty superstition, "Blest is the bride that tbe sun shines on." As the young people turned and passed down the aisle to the strains of the wedding march followed by their attendants, the best wishes for a life-time of happiness from loving relatives and friend's went with them. But the privilege of expressing these sentiments wore accorded the guests, who were immediately driven to the borne of Dr.

and Mrs. Norman on Fourth stroet, where for a couple of hours Mr. and Mrs. Howell received congratulations and good wishes. An elegant menu was prepared for the occasion, the wedding gifts, of which Mrs.

Howell received so many and such handsome ones, were viewed by all, and as the bridal couple left in the evening mid a shower of rice and old shoes thrown by laughing merry Are Showing a Handsome Line ot SPRING JACKETS, CAFES aid BLAZERS, ALSO Hen Patterns In India Silks, Corks, Chevrons and Wash Goods of latest styles.

By the request of one of our citizens we publish the following taken from a Homestead paper and aplicable to any borough or towu desiring such licenses.

SSir; lu your last edition I read that it is propesed by council to pass an ordinance for tbe taxation of canvassers of books, pictures etc. Would it not be well for them to go slow in the matter, as in all cases of such character when carried to the Supreme Court, their decision has been in favor of the parties taxed. No state, county or bor ough, no more than an individual ean af ford to defy the Jaw. and possibly this borough uif.y have a suit at law for dam ages, like our neighboring, borough of Mannstield had a little' while ago, which said suit cost that borough a few thousand dollars to find the law in such a enso. Tbe Rurgess and council of Slmmokin, this state also passed a license law aud fined an agent 10 and costs, and when taken to the Supreme Court it was declared invalid Mi( void, being contrary to inter-s'ate law and the constitution of tbe United States.

Dr, Duncan of Brownsville, left an estate valued at about $50,000 to his wife and daughter, appointing his wife sole executrix.
