From The Dubuque Herald.

the cathedral was crowded TO its utmost
capacity With the friends Of Mr.. Frank
Deuss and Miss Josephine Linn Jones,
daughter Of ex-senator Geo, w. Jones, to
witness the ceremony which made them
husband and wife. The exceedingly large
attendance at the cathedral was q testimo-
NAL ofregard for the parties as aattering
as IL was deserved. Miss Linz
Jones was horn at Sinsinawa Mound,
but the naturalization Of her hon.
orad father with Iowa, and es-
pecially with Dubuque interests, and the
fact that she has passed from infancy TO
womanhood in this city, have made her In
every respect q daughter Of Dubuque, and
one who has been an ornament and q pride
Of tha city. There are few young ladies so
widely known and 80 universally respected
and beloved. III T graces have been the
lesson Of the young, and her talents are
the boast of all who delight in plpciug Du-
buque talent first and highest. During
the past ten years, Miss Linn Jones has
been at the head Of the cathedral choir,
cOnfossedly the best in the city and in the
state. while her sister Maria, has been the
accomplished organist IN thesame choir for
the past 10 years.
Presisely at the hour named, the full

made with flowing train and pointed waist.
A tulle veil fastened with q cluster Of
orange buds and flowers, and handsome
set OF pearls, the gift Of the groom, com-
pleted the costume, which so we'll became
the graceful figure of the beautiful bride.
Miss Maria Jones and Miss Sullivan, "a
bridesmaids, were handsomely attired in
white Paris muslin dresses, made with
tunic skirts and iuted ruchings. Miss
Jones wreath and sash being pink, Miss
Sullivan's blue. These sashes were gnce-
fully fastened in the back with long loops.
For simplicity Of style and elegance of
finish, these ~toilettes have seldom been
e1ualed in our city.
Mrs. Jones, mother Of the bride, appear

The bridegroom was t~astefully attired,
appropriate for the occasion, and the
groomsmen were in full dress.
The beautiful marriage ceremony Of the
Catholic church was pronounced by Bish-
op Hennessy.
At the conclusion Of the address by the
bishop, the bridal party returned 90 their
carriages and the vast audience dispersed,
the band playing meantime. The invited
guests assembled in the parlors Of General
Jones, in the LOrimier House, to greet the
newly welded pair and say goodbye to
them as they were about to start on their
trip to Europe.
The parlors were liqhted with gas and
the scene was truly brilliant. II would 10
impossible 10 do justice 10 the elaborate
and artistic t~oilettes Of the guestg who
thronged the drawing-room. Such an ele-
giant display Of dress has never been wit
nossed in Dubuque. We observed Mr..
T.. V. Holcombe dressed In n lavander silk
with tunic oyer-dress. Mrs. j. ID. Jennings
in handsome lilac silk with point lace
trimmings. Mrs. A. w. Ricomond in a
magnificent gold-colored moire antique

Mrs. Jennie Lewis in white alpaca with
pink trimmings. Mrs. Van Pelt in white
pulled tareton with green leaves. Mrs.
g. Becker in a rich black silk. And others,
more numerous than We have space TO men
ton, adding brilliancy 10 the scene with
costumes of the richest material and most
fashionable styles.
