/ ORANGE LOSSOMS-The marriage of
MI. l.. M. Price to Miss Anna NJ. Whan,
was solemniZed at the house of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Bell, by Rev. r. G.. Campbell,
On the evening of the 9TH inst, at 5
o'clock. AS Il pleasant social occasion
this could not easily be surpassed. The
appointments were costly and elegant
| t 70 decorations the richest and most
tlsteful-yet in all there was no osten-
ltion or display, but everything was
characterized by the utmost neatness
and refined taste. The parlor was deco
rated with the traditional horseshoe of
flowers and evergreen, and there Was
beautiful arrangement of flowers on the
center-table also. The bridegroom wore
the regulation suit of broadcloth with
white vest and tie-the bride dress of
the purest white, adorned with natural
flowers, and delicate vine; she also
wore flowers in her hair, and carried in
her hand an exquisite boquet of pure
white flowers. The wedding stationery
had been ordered from THE CHRONICLE
Lffice, and was of late and elegant de- |
sign. After the ceremony the happy
couple passed out to supper, and there |
received the congratulations of their
friends. The supper was all that could
have been desired, and the tables were
beautifully arranged. The bridal gifts /
were very numerous and costly, consist
ing of silverware, glassware, ard other
articles of value. Perhaps sixty guests
were present, and among them we no.

On Saturday night last in PITTSBURGH

On Saturday night last, in Pittsburgh,
a terrible disaster occurred on the Penn
sylvania railroad, within the city limits,
about mile from the Union depot.
The first section of the Walls accom-
modation going east left the Union de-
pot at L 81 P. NJ, having large crowd
of passengers who had been to the CITY
to participate in the closing exercises of
the Exposition, and witness Demo-
cratic demonstration. The back plat
form was so crowded that the headlight
on the second section following could
not be seen. The first section stopped
at the regular station where they were
delayed on account of another train
which was in the next block. The sec
ond section came along at good speed,
but, owing to the crowds on the back
platform of the first section, the signal
lights were hidden from view and con-
sequently the engineer of the second
section did not see the train ahead of
him until he was so near it that his
train could not be checked in time to ar
rest the collision, and the engine went
crashing into the rear coach of the first
section, as packed as it was with human
beings.
Among those unfortunates the engine
buried itself to the very car windows, in |
among the screaming, suffering men, |
women and children, mangling all who
were in its course. The boiler head of
the colliding engine was bursted off by |
the shock, and the scalding water and
steam poured over the occupants of the
car, as if bent on completing the horrible
work that had gone before. 1t is impos-
sible to describe the fearful scene that
followed. The means of the dying and
wounded and the shrieks of those who
had lost their friends was frightful.
Twenty-Five persons are reported kill
I'd, and over fifty wounded; among the
after was Mr.. T. II. Anderson. of the
aw firm of Taylor & Anderson, Cam
bridge, O., who is reported as slightly
calded in face.

NINE Southern Democratic Governors
come to the front with statements that
the South does not want its claims paid.
Hancock says no such claim will ever
be made. Why did seventy Democratic
members of Congress introduce bills to
facilitate the payment of claims? Why
did forty-four Confederates in the House
and twelve Border Democrats vote
against an amendment making such
payment impossible? Why did only one
Confederate vote in favor of the amend
ment? Why did Hancock frame his let
ter on the subject so as to pledge him
self against the payment of only S5OO,OOO
worth of such claims, leaving him en-
tirely unpledged against the payment of
nearly one billion of others which have
already been filed? Finally, why has
the Democratic party in Congress for
five years refused to put itself on record
against all claims by legislation which
would make their payment forever i'm
possible?

GEN. GRANT was interviewed in New
York ON Monday. In response to a
question as to what he thought the result
of Garields election upon the business
community would be, he replied:
believe that our people are prosper
GUS now. Nothing 1 could say would
make my opinion better known than the
fact that our people are doing well: l
believe that if Garfield is elected our
present prosperity will continue with
out interruption, and that we will ad-
vance in every branch of industry. l
believe if Garfield is not elected all the
good results of long matured and now
successful business will be Immediately
checked.

was consumed. We learn that there is
an insurance of $500. The citizens eX

OUR POPULAR FRIEND, Leroy Sed

on Wednesday last While driving along
the street the "reach" of the buggy sud-
denly broke, and the front axle pulling
off, he was thrown forward from the
buggy, receiving not a large but painful
cut near the left eye and just on the
edge of the lid. If the cut had been on
the eye the sight would have been de-
stroyed With admirable presence of
mind he held to his team, and thus pre-
vented disastrous and perhaps fatal re-
suits. Messrs. Humphrey & Yarnell re-
paired the buggy so that he could reach

publican party took hold of the Govern
