Marriage of j. A. Hemsteger and Ida
NJ. Peters-AnOther Brilliant Social
Event
The marriage of j. A. Hemsteger and
Miss Ida N. Peters took place at the
Catholic church last evening, the cere-
mony being performed by Rev. Father
Perrier. A large number of invitations
had been circulated, and the church was
packed full of people, intelligent looking
and handsomely dressed, while upon all
faces beamed smiles of appreciation and
joyousness over the event that was to
make two of our favorite society people
happy for life.
The church was handsomely decorat-
ed with evergreens. At the altar railing
a beautiful arch was formed from the
center ofwhIch hung the marriage bell'
made of evergreen and flowers. The
altar was brilliantly lighted. Frank p.
Payne AMI r. NJ. Bachelor acted as
ushers. Prof Petite presided at the or.
gan. Near p m the party entered the
church. The bridesmaids were Misses
Allie and Fannie Riggs, and the grooms
men, ]. L. Hemsteger, brother OF TIC
groom, and Ed. Peters, brother of the
bride. The bride was beautifully at
tired in an elegant sea foam silk and
brocade, with tulle veil, orange blossoms
in profusion and diamond jewelry. The
groom wore the conventional suit OF
black
The bridesmaids, the Misses Riggs,
looked lovely in Paris muslin dresses
Miss Allies combined with pink silk
and pink rose buds and Miss Fannie's
with light blue silk and flowers.
The ceremony was performed in an
impressive manner by the priest. After
the wedding, commencing at 9o'clock
a reception took place at the brides home
and hither the fortunate holders of inVi-
tation cards went. The time was spent
in congratulations of the bride and
groom, in partaklng of magnificent
repast in social converse, and in viewing
the large display of magnificent presents
Throughout the affair was one of the
most brilliant and enjoyable social
events which ever took place here, and
we are sorry that our space is so limited
that we must leave some of its pleasant
features without mention. Both of these
parties are comparatively recent corners
here, but by their agreeable manners in
telligence and other good qualities have
made friends of all with whom they have
come in contact, and we know we but eX-
press the universal voice all when we
wish Mr.. and Mrs. Hemsteger well
throughout their lives. They left on
the early train this morning for an ex-
tended visit east. Following is the
