Fifteen Years Married.
,oon 1oea

Fl1teeHtn anniversary.
Mr.. and Mrs. George A. Blinn
At Home,
At half past o'clock.
Annie E. Anderson.
Thus read the cards announcing the ap.
preaching crystal wedding of Mr.. and Mrs.
George A. Blinn, numerously distributed
among their friends some weeks since, and
last evening at their elegant residence on
College avenue, Twenty-ffth Ward, the
happy event took place. 1t was most
brilliant affair, an evidence in reality of the
worth and thrift of the fair couple.
There are periods in life that are an
oasis; they are occasions when we stop to
recount the fleeting years; gather together
friends of yore; exchange greetings and
"reminiscences of bygone days, and cele,
brate the anniversaries of happy events.
Upon this occasion many scores of Georges
and Annie's old friends were gathered to
bestow their best wishes, and note the fact
that to them life has not been an empty
dream, but real and earnest fortune has
smiled favorably, bestowed beautiful
home and easy competency, and sealed
their affections with three bright and com
forting children.
Their home last evening was a realm OF
beauty. George is the prince of hosts. and
no minute attention was omitted in the en-
tertainment of his guests. The supper was
from the culinary of Fossett. novel ca
terer and connoisseur of refined and delicate
taste. No delicacy was omitted-all rich
and rare.
The evening was interspersed with the
dance. Enjoyment seemed perched upon
every brow, and the pretty ladies and rich
toilets rendered the scene dazzling The
toilets of Mrs. Martin, of Xenia, Ohio, and
Mrs. Ewing, of Covington, KY, with dia-
mond jewelry, were indeed superb.
Among the distinguished personages pres
ent were Judge d. D. Bonte and wife. of
Franklin, Ind; W. s. Holden, U. s. Col
lector, Sixth District of Kentucky, and
wife, Captain George NJ. NJ Linn, Elk. U. S.
Assessor of Kentucky, and wife; Col. Rob
ert Jones, Paymaster K. c. Railroad, and
wife; Mrs. NJ. L. Ross, the accomplished
Postmistress of Newport, KY, and J. w.
Levezey, Esq, of Covington, KY.
The presents were numerous and ele-
CANT. Many presents were sent by those
rwho were unable to be present, and to de-
scribe them would be tedious. Among
them was an elegant clock, with orna-
ments of rare design, presented by the
North Side Social-a society of friends of
which Mr.. and Mrs. B. are highly esteemed
members.
The crystal wedding of Mr.. and Mrs.
George A. Blinn was bright and happy
event of their life, and all who were present
wished thtm safe voyage to their seventy.
fifth anniversary.
On the hillside George and Annie
Pause to count the fleetng years.
While around them falls the sunshine
OF life without its tears.
Onward, upward, they are moving
To the summit of their life;
May their journey be hrough sunshine,
Without sorrow or a strife

New York World (Dem.): If the Demo-
cratic front of New York is broken in the
next Congress the Democrats of the Union
will understand why it was that the World
more than a year ago called upon them to
help it cast out finally and forever the un-
clean spirits of Tammany from the politics
of the Empire State. When in Congress
sional District filled with merchants and
men of business the Republican Leaders
nominate merchant and man of business
like Mr.. Morton, while Tammany Hall puts
into the field against him a local politi-
clan" like Mr.. Willis, Democrats who are
also merchants and men of business will be
extremely apt to consult their reason and
their interests rather than their party pref
udices and their party ties as they go to the
polls.

The Next Senate.
THE DEMOCRATS WILL HAVE A MAJORITY
WHAT WILL BK THE PATRONAGE.

WHAT WILL BE THE PATRONAGE.
WAsHINGToN, July 49, AS IL is settled
beyond any further doubt that after the
fourth Of March next the United States
Senate will be under Democratic control,
the noble army of officeseekers has al
ready begun its march on the entrench-
ments of that wing Of the capitol. The
Democratic Senators, however, are de-
termined that the change In the political
compexion of the Senate shall not be
made the occasion of disgraceful scram-
BILE for few ptltry offices, such as was
the case when the Hou.e of Representa-
tlves passed under Democratic control
The leading Democratic Senators point
to the fact that from its earliest history it
has never been the custom of the United
States Senate to parcel out the few offices
at its disposal as a reward for real or fan
ced political services.
Ii is a well-known fact that the Rapub-
IN majority in the Senate, even when
party feeling was mo,t bitter, made no
movement to interfere with the tenure
OF some of its officers whose Democratic
procllvities were notorious. The sent-
inent now is that it will be the proper
thing to retain such of the subordinate
officers of the Senate as are faithful and
efhcient. or course the present secretary
and the present sergeant-at-arms of the
Senate will be superseded, but political
considerations will not TO any great ex-
tent enter into the appointment or re-
moval of the employees of their respective
offices.-lndeed, il is believed to be the
case that so far As the force of the SER
geant-at-arns is concerned the Democra-
NC Senators have now as many if not
more appointments than the Republican
Senators.
In regard to the Office of secretary of
the Senate it was stated to-day by the
friends of Mr.. Henry NJ. WaIterson, of
the Louisville Courier-J ournal, that he is
a candidate for the position, and has al
ready received such assurances from the
Democratic Senators as to leave no doubt
OF his election. 1t is generally under
stood that Mr.. John &. Thompson, the
present sergeant-at-arms of the House of
representatives, and warm personal
friend of Senator Thurman, will be the
Successor of Mr.. French as sergeant-at-
arms of the Senate.

The funeral of James Baxter took place
yesterday afternoon, from his late resi-
dence, No. 1106 W. Second street, and

Robbed while Gesting Upon .
Train.

As Mrs. Sarah Snyder stepped upon
the Pacific Express train, at Lancaster,
Tuesday afternoon, to come TO this city,
q young man slightly pushed her and
simultaneously stole her pocket-book,
containing her car ticket and money.
The conductor was notified, and at the
next station telegraphed ahead TO Detec-
tive Gilmore, at the Pennsylvania Rail
road, without attracting notice. When
the train puffed into the West Philadel-
phia depot four men, on one Of whom
was found a first-class ticket, were arres-
ted, having got on the T. ain at Dowing-
town after being put off because they
didn't have first-class tickets. When
Magistrate Pole asked them few ques-
tions, they gave their names AS Thomas
Kelly, Peter Richards, II. f. Thompson
and John Fitzpatrick, the last with gog-
giles. Kelly, the youngest, was recogni-
zed by the lady as the one who had
brushed against her. Special Officer
Eckstein said that Kelly was arrested by
him year ago for attempting to steal
the Hon. John w. Forney's watch, in
front of the Press office The accused
were remanded in 5000 bail each for their
appearance at Lancaster.-Times.

came up to this place on Sunday after
noon, having on board Senator L. +.
Bayard, late State Senator Chas. g Stock

the visit of the Senator will be the cause
of having the channel of Indian river
cleaned out and making it good navi-
gable steam. If there is anything IN Sus-
sex county needed from the Government
1t IL an appropriation of few thousand
dollars for his purpose. This small steam
boat as she is, run aground and required
the use of poles to get her of and the
Senator used the pole well towards SHOW
ing her off and knows now what hard
labor is required to run up and down the
river, and we believe if he will ask he
will receive an appropriation from Con-
gres.
