WEDDING AT ST. FRANCIS CHURCH.
On Wednesday night st. Francis Catholic
Church was literally packed with an au-
dienee to witness the wedding Of daugh-
ter of Mr.. Thomas Hounihan, one of our
popular citizens Even the aisles, save the
main one, were crowded with persons stand
ing, ana the assembly included many of
the best people in the city. The arrange
mentsWhich attend matrimonial affairs, had
been made with much taste. In the main
aisle a number of peWs were set aside for
the family and friends of the couple, and
the space was cut off by satin bar, at
which one of the ushers, Mr.. E. F. Grove,
stood with white satin baton to prevent
tihe passage of unauthorized persons. At
the door Mr.. G. A. Lushbaugh, the other
raher, kept the entrance to the aisle clear.
a duty which was by no means an easy
ONE. The ushers wore evening dress of
black with white vests and gloves. A lit
tie after O'Clock the contracting parties,
Mr.. James Burke, of Richmond, and Miss
Elizabeth Hounihan, entered the church,
with the following walters in the train j:

Miss Ella Kilbingham with Mr.. Michael
Rounihan; Miss Ella Mccarthy. with Mr..
John Burns Miss Nora Hurley with Capt.

needy with. Mr. Michael Cox. The ladies
were dressed in white, and the gentlemen
in full evening dress, and we but report a
general comment of the audience when we
say that more handsome and stylish look
ing party doesn't often walk down church
aisle. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Father McVerry, after which the
party returned to their coaches and repair
ed to the residence OF the BRIDES father,
where an elegant entertainment was given
