CHIEF CLERK OF THE ASSEMBLY.

Col. R. M. Strong, of Sank County,
is favorably spoken of in many quarters
for Chief Clerk Of the Assembly, and
we shall not be surprised to see him
the successful candidate He is album
dainty qualified for the position, and
would discharge it's duties as we'll as
any man in the State.
ThelBaraboo Republic. published at
the home of Col. Strong, has the fol-
lowing upon the subject:
1t affords us pleasure to second the
nomination. Col Strong is excellently
qualified for the place. We put our
endorsement on this ground, but at the
same time do not ignore his splendid
record as soldier who was permanent.
" disabled in battle, nor his consistent
adherence to the republican cause, in
defeat as we'll as in victory. The re-
publican assembly cannot better insure
efficiency in its clerical department., SO

of Col Strong.

A New WAY TO REMOVE Snow. =
Ex-H ealth Commissioner John Null
laly appeared yesterday before the
Street Cleaning Committee of the Po-
lice Department, aud presented prop
osition for the removal of snow from
the streets of this city by tie applica-
tion of super-hested steam. 1t is prop
osed to accomplish this by means Of a
boiler and appurtenances placed on
wheels and to be drawn by two horses.
The boiler is to be fitted with small
steam engine and super-heater to SUI
perheat the steam to about 800 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and the steam is to
be elected against the snow so as to
melt it, and the water resulting from
the melting of the snow and the con-
densation Of the steam to be heated
sufficiently to run off through the Gull
verts without freezing on it's way. 1t
is contended that the snow can he re-
moved more effectually and with. less
expense from the leading thoroug hfares
by this than by any other method yet
devised.

WILL NEVER BE SPEAKER.

The proposition to elect Fernando
Wood as Speaker of the Democratic
House, is one which, we take it. will
receive little favor from the body of
the party Such move would indi-
cate anything but purpose to inaugu
rate reform Not only in his private
but his public character Mr.. Wood
combines all the elements which it is
the duty of a reform body to shun.
Only the statute Of limitations is be-
tween Mr.. Wood and the lock up for
acts which ought to have kept him out
of Congress, to say nothing of the
Speakers chair. A party of reform
with Fernando..W God for figure head
would be farce of stupendous proper
tions. Of course no such spectacle Is
to be afforded to the country. MIR.
Wood may as we'll step down and out
He will never be any nearer the Speak
ership than to-day.-St. Paul Pioneer
(Dem)
This is rather severe on the man who
only year ago was thought worthy of
the support of the Democrats in Con-
grees for the position ofSpeaker against
j. G. Blaine, of Maine.

Marriage Of Mr.. W. F. Storey.

Mr.. Wilbur F. Storey, editor and
proprietor of the Times, was united in
the holy bonds of wedlock last night
to Mrs. Eureka E. Pearson, at the res
idence of MIR. Augustus G. Lamb, No.
50 Twenty. eighth street, by the Rev.
Arthur Mitchell, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, corner of Iudi-
ana avenue and Twenty-6rst street
This information will be surprise to
many as the affair has been kept very
quiet, so much so that the next door
neighbors had no knowledge of it.
The bride is sister Of Mrs LIANT,
and was formerly Miss Bissell She
has been a widow tor the past ten
years is about 35 years of age bru-
nette, of the Spa nish type of beauty,
and exceedingly handsome, interesting
and commanding in appearance-be-
ing apout feet 6 in height, graceful
10 her carriage, and ACCOMPLISHED in
her manners.
The frequenters Of the boulevard
last summer will remember the lady as
having been seen almost daily on the
drive, seated in basket-pheton, be-
hind two spirited chestnut ponies, with
the ribbons in her own daintily gloved
hands, which she handled with dex-
terity that won for her the admiration
of the sterner and envy Of the gentler
sex. 1t was during one of these drives
that the lady first attracted the atten-
ton of Mr.. Wilbur f. Storey. and
from that day the dashing widow reign
ed supreme in the mind and heart of
the editor of the Times. After meet
ing Mrs, Pearson on the boulevard
Mr.. Storey sought for and obtained an
introduction to the idol Of his affec
ions; paid his addresses, proposed, and
was accepted.
The wedding day was appointed
yesterday, and, in order to have it as
private as possible, the marriage license
was not taken out until late yesterday
evening. No guests were invited, and
in fact only two or three of Mr.. Sto-
rey's acquaintance were aware of his
intentions. A Tribune reporter, how
ever, heard Of the expected event, and
therefore can give the particulars Of
his interesting wedding to the public
this morning.
The marriage ceremony was perform
ed at o'clock, at the residence Of Mr..
Lamb as above. The parlors were
brilliantly illuminated, and tastefully
arranged with garlands Of flowers.
The groom's presents to the bride
we're costly and elegant, consisting of
complete set of delicate tortoise-shell
jevelry valued at 5000, and an elegant
and expensive watch and chain. The
brides sister, Mrs. Lamb, presented
her with set Of costly and elegantly
wrought bracelets. Other presents
were given to the beautiful bride, put
these were the most notable among
| them. 1t is reported that n, STOREY.
in addition, has decided his bride one
half interest in the " Times"
Immediately after the marriage the
few friends-not exceeding eight or
ten-who witnessed the ceremony
were ushered into the d:ning-room
where they joined with the bride and
groom in sumptuous repast At the
hour of IL o'clock Mr.. Storey's car
riage was driven up to the house, and
| he, with Mrs. Storey. we're whirled Of
to his residence at No 668 Michigan
