William Delgeman, an Employe of the Diamond Coal Mine Probably Fatally Injured Yesterday Afternoon Removed to St. Mary's Hospital for Treatment. William Delgeman, a miner employed at the Diamond coal mine, was probably fatally injured yesterday afternoon while firing the blast in the mine at 4:30 o'clock. The blasts are made in the several rooms at about the same time every day. After the firing yesterday Delgeman was missed by his companions.

A search was instituted found unconscious on the floor of his room. He was carried to the cage and hoisted to the surface. An ambulance conveyed him to St. Mary's hospital. An examination by the surgeons showed that Delgeman's skull was fractured and the right arm broken in two places, at the wrist and near the elbow.

It is thought he is injured internally. Delgeman lives with his wife at 1616 East Louisiana street. He has two sons and two daughters. How he was injured is not definitely known. It is supposed, however, that the blast was prematurely discharged.

Delgeman had not regained consciousness at midnight. The Courier publishes all the news of the world. Read it. PEOPLES THEATRE. SUNDAY NIGHT, MARCH 14.

She consented to give away the secret of its prettiness, althought she would not tell for whom it was being fashioned. The things that made this dress so extra attractive were the three novelties that were introduced upon it.

There were seventeen of these on the front of the waist and exactly the same number upon the back; these being placed with mathematical precision.

The sleeves were of the lawn, tucked all the way to the waist in little overlapping tucks; at the head of the tuck there small grave puff. The skirt the dress was trimmed sir with narrow ruffles of lace extending all around it, making the third novel feature of the dress. This style of skirt trimming will be much used all summer, the modistes say. HELEN GREY-PAGE. ---0 Married--On Wednesday evening, at the parsonage of the Evangelical Lutheran church, 1218 Upper Eighth street, Mr.

John J. Hoffherr, and Miss Amelia A. Brizius, both of Evansville, were united in marriage, the Rev. Leander Goetz officiating. A small circle of friends witnessed the happy event.

-0--- Last evening, at Grace Presbyterian church, a large audience assembled to witness the marriage of Miss Mildred Douglass Rock, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rosser S. Rock, to Mr. Gus Torian Nisbet.

The church was decorated with palms and Easter lilies, the chancel being a mass of green, relieved by the pure white of the flowers. The bridal party entered the left aisle promptly at 6 o'clock to the Lohengrin march, exquisitely played by Mrs. Millis. Mr. G.

Walker Sonntag and Mr. Chester L. Ragon led, followed by Mr. Boswell Torian and Mr. Robert Kuhn, Mr.

Robert Nisbet and Mr. Ferd Ragon. Miss Anna Dudley Rock, sister of the bride, and her only attendant, entered immediately preceding the bride, who came with her father. She was attired in a dainty mousseline de soie costume of the faintest rose pink over taffeta, carrying an arm bouquet of pale rose pink carnations. The bride was attired in pure white mousseline de soie over satin, with fichu and sash edged with Valenciennes, white satin crushed bows and collar.

Her veil. arranged a la Marie Stuart, was fastened with a diamond wreath, and she wore, as her only ornament, a handsome pendant solitaire, a gift of the groom, and carried a huge bouquet of white carnations and maiden-hair ferns. The groom, attended by his best man, Mr. Frank Nisbet, entered from the vestry room, meeting the bride at the altar, where against a background of green, the bridal party formed a semicircle. The impressive ceremony was performed by the Rev.

C. L. Marquis, assisted by the Rev. W. J.

Darby, whose invocation for the presperity of the young couple was beautiful. The marriage the Presbyterian church, with the ring, was used, the faint low notes of the organ soundins throughout the ceremony. The party left the church to the joyous Mendelsshon march. Miss Rock is one of the most popular of Evansville's younger society girls. Her character combines, as is rarely found, sweet diguily of manner, with charming gracionsuess, which has made her beloved by all who know her.

Mr. Gus T. Niebet is a young man who has all the manly and business qualities, which insure his future success. Mr. and Mrs.

Nisbet left on the midnight train for St. Louis, thence they will go to Cleveland, stopping en route in Chicago for a few days. After a week's visit to Mr. and Mrs. J.

G. Grammar in Cleveland, they return and will be "at home" at the St. George hotel. Many handsome presents were received, also telegrams of congratulations from all over the country. Mr.

and Mrs. Dan S. Ragon received a few friends last evening informally in compliment to Mr. and Mrs. G.

T. Nisbet and their attendants. Miss Ragon entertained the NisbetRock bridal party Tuesday evening at her handsome home in Upper Second street. A course dinner was served, the table appointments being exquisite. A large center piece of carnations and English violets adorned the table.

Owing to the floods which have deranged railroad travel in every direction, very few of the many milliners expected are in attendance at the wholesale opening at The firm has decided to continue the opening until next week, when it is hoped the railroads will be in better shape. The writer had the pleasure of an inspection of the lovely goods and decorations prepared for the occasion. In addition to hundreds of beautiful trimmed hats and bonnets, many of them Paris models, the exhibtion of flowers, feathers, laces, gauzes, ribbons, ornaments, braids and untrimmed hats is so magnificent as to be beyond description by one not familiar with the trade. Very few of our people have any idea of the extent and variety of the wholesale millinery business done by the firm. Their large retail trade enables them to handle in quantities much finer goods than are kept in wholesale houses throughout the west.

Cox for the health, happiness and prosperity of the host and hostess in their new home and as a token of remembrance the club presented them with a lovely palm and various other articles to adorn their new home.

Mrs. Will Phillips won the prize, which was a lovely tea set. It is safe to say that no face in America is better known the ultra-fashionable set than that of Miss Minnie Clark. She is the model of the "Gibson Girl" that has fixed the type for American beauty Charles Dana Gibson is the foremost among the younger set of illustrators and his pencil has given permanence to Miss Clark's beauty. Strictly speaking she is mot a beauty, but one artist said of her that she suggested more beauty than any woman he ever saw.

Over and over again, her face appears in the Gibson drawings. There is a virile strength in her figure that is in direct contrast to the fragile women chosen by many artists as a type of beauty. She is in truth a young goddess. We see her as the Princess Aline, and as the American Girl in all the scenes of fashionable life. The head is alwas well thrown back, the hair parted in the center.

It is said that thousands of girls model their dress and pose after the imperial style that Gibson has made famous. Miss Clark has posed as a model for statues. Velvet, as an early spring material, is in high favor in all colors as well as black. The more elaborate coats of it are made with braiding and embroideries galore. Less of the bright colored coats are seen, an item to be thankful for, after all the rainbow tints of the winter, An occasional purple jacket is seen, and they are made in the richest sort of way, with appliques of handsome braids.

etc. A coat of this color worn with gown of dainty grey cashmere is an ext tasty combination and wonderfully springlike. PERSONAL. Miss Katie Chestnut has returned to Henderson, after a visit to friends here. Mr.
