and Miss Minnie Herring.
Mr.. Orrin Miller and Miss Herring we're
quietly married last SATURDAY. evening, at
the residence Of Rev. Father Monteverde,
by the Rev. Father Bixio, 10 the presence
OF Mr.. and Mrs. George Lamoureux and
Deputy County Clerk Bell. Outside of the
Reverend gentlemen named, and the three
immediate friends, also named, the affair
was o profound secret, and was intended
to remain as such for some days. Not even
the parents Of the contracting parties knew
a word of it, and 1T is barely possible that
the SENTINEL may convey to them, this
morning, the first intelligence on the sub
ject. A SENTINEL reporter got wind Of the
affair on Sunday. and Immediately resolved
himself into a special committee OF one to
ferret out the facts. Mr.. Miller was sought
and interviewed. but he successfully par
ried all interrogatories, assuming an air of
indifference and an absence Of knowledge
in the premises absolutely chilling to the
ardor of the searcher for news. He said
he thought he would be apt to know it if
anything OF that kind had happened to
him. The reporter thought 80 too, but
still he Was not entirely "a isfied of the in
nocence Of the accused. The young man
didn't look subdued or anything like that,
but still there was a guilty twinkle in his
eye, aud a self-important bearing in his de-
meanor, which seemed to say that he was
q benedict. However, the reporter hauled
of, badly mixed on the main proposition.
An iDtimation had been given that pos
sibly Mr.. n Mrs. Lamoureux could throw
rome light on the subject. This worthy
couple were next visited. Mrs. Lamou
reux declared that she had ''never dreampt
OF such a thing" and thus again was the
itemlzer thrown off his guard. He had
got halfway back to own before it occur
red to him that the affair might have taken
place, just as rumor said it had taken
place. without Mrs. L~amoureux dreaming
anything about it. He was just in the act
OF turning back to press for a categorical
answer, ''yes,' or mo-" when Mr.. Lam
oureux was observed at the head of South
Main street, giving directions about the
unloading Of one Of his eighteen-mule coal
teams.
"Well, Mr.. Lamoureux," said the re-
porter, 81 have called to inquire of you
about a wedding alleged to have TRANSFERRED
Saturday evening""
"What wedding ?"
"Why Mr.. Miller and Miss Herring"
"Who said SO 2"
We'll, no one in particular. though
there is a rnmor Of the kind ~afioat."
"And why should l know anything
about it?"
The reporter could not tell exactly why
Mr.. Lamoureux should know any more
about 1t than anybody else. but he didn't
intend to be thrown off the trail with eva
sive answers any longer. He determined
then and there to get at the bottom facts.
So he rallied and took him on another tack.
1.-The truth Is" said the conscientious
interviewer, Il know all about this little
affair, and have only come to you to get
fuller details"
Who sent you"
why, Mrs. Lamoureux. l have just
left the house, and she told me if / would
find you ! could get all the facts"
There it goes, again. Never knew a
woman in my life who could keep a secret
about a wedding"
And then he grew sociable and confden-
tial, and laughed and felt good, and told
us all about the wedding, and who was
present, and why the happy couple wanted
to keep the matter a secret till next Thurs
day, etc.
The reporter said. Certainly, not a
word shall go in the SENTINEL about it,"
But now, that we nave traced up the
facts, and know that there is no mistake
about it, a word concerning the newly
welded is in order.
The bride, Miss Herring. has been one of
the reigning bellies of Eureka society for q
number of years. She is Il charming. accom-
plisbed young lady, with u host Of devoted
friends and well-wishers.
Mr.. Miller, in like manner is one of the
brightest and most worthy young men in
Eureka. He has resided among US for the
last seven or eight years, and not a word
can be urged against his high character.
He occupies a prominent position Of trust
in the Richmond Company, dischargiug all
Of his duties with fidelity aud to the salts
faction of the company. He has a fine po-
sitian and a good home, and will make the
lady OF his choice a most excellent husband.
That she will be equally devoted does not
admit of a doubt. No young couple ever
started under more favorable auspices in
this section. The SENTINEL joins with the
rest Of their friends, which comprise the
entire community, in wishing them the
greatest prosperity and a long life Of we'd
dad bliss.
