A Marriage Ceremony That Did Not

From, the Pittsburgh Commercial, Oct, 81
4 most singular ndunfortunate circumstance
attending marriage ceremony occurred yester~
day morning in this city, which will cause con-
siderable feeling among the friends Of the con-
tracing parties, and be o topic Of conversation
for some time to come. For several weeks past,
the marriage Of the Rev. John s. Miller, former
ly Rector Of A1lSaints Chapel, but now Assistant
Hector OF an Episcopallian Church in Bal
timore, with Miss Sallie Hunter, Of this
city, WAS generally known in Episcopal circles.
Great interest WAS felt in the marriage, from
the extreme rituaistic ceremony would be per-
formed When Mr.. Miller was Rector Of ALI
Saints Chapel he had introduced the most adj
vanced rituaGstic tendencies into the church, 80
much so that the Bishop refused to recognize
the church in his diocese. Some days ago, q
ral1nor was in circulation that an effort would be-
made to secuse Trinity Church as the place for
the performance of the ceremony, owing to its
central location, and that the building was much
larger and better adapted for the purpose. Inns
lent additional interest to the affair, sit was
extremely doubtful whether the Rector OF the
