A CHARMING RECEPTION was held Sat
ulday night by Mr.. and Mrs. ). P. Brown at
their hoSpitable mansion at Mount Pleasant,
i'm honor of the marriage of their son Frank
NJ Brown, of Amadon county, Cal, to Miss
ward, OF Chicago, daughter OF eX Repre-
sentative j ID. Ward, OF Illinois She was
in Washington society last winter, and will
be remembered for her beauty and acc Jm-
plishments. The groom, Mr.. Frank Brown,
has resided for some years in California, aut
has made himself greatly respected there, as
Is SHOWN by the fact OF his having been re-
Gently elected to the state senate as a repub-
ltten from one of the strongest democratic
districts in the state.
MAJOR RENO has been interviewed, aud
says also that Custer and all of his men were
probably dead when he Joined forces with
Captain Benteen on the north bank of the
creek. He does not consider himself any
more responsible for the killing of Custer
and his men than man in New York would
have been. On the other hand, he thinks that
either the want of definite plan OF battle or
the mistake of General Custer placed the at
tacking detachment I'm serious and to some
extent unnecessary jeopardy. He is grieved
that certain papers should charge him with
enmity toward so brave and gallant q man
as Custer. They were personal friends, he
says, and were upon the ot st OF terms. Mai.
Reno has very litJle confidence in tue truth
fulness of Sitting Bull or any other Indian,
he says.
