Il PIONEER MARRLAGE.
One, of the most interesting ever

One. of the most interesting events
of the season occurred Tuesday after
noon. This was the marriage, by
Justice Dollison, Of Miss Jessie Mar
quit, adopted daughter of w. H.
Spencer, and Mr.. VIM. Lovelace, a
miner, who is better known by the
soxby1qnc: OF "Missouri Bill" The
first intention OF the principals to this
hymenial venture, was to be spliced at
the City Hotel, at 7:3o in the even
ing, in plain view of the invited null
titude; but for fear of paternal inter-
ference, the bold couple concluded to
launch their bark upon the matri-
monial sea about the hour of a p. m.
at the Eastern restaurant, Mrs. Samuel
Powell and Mr.. John NJ. Mccormick,
acting as witnesses to the ceremony.
The event created no little enthusiasm
as it was the pioneer marriage of the
camp. The whole town seemed to
take an interest, both individually
and collectively, in the affair. A
dance was given at the City Hotel, at
which nearly every one in town put
in an appearance at some hour during
the evening. The whole assembly
seemed in "high feather" every one
having evidently come. to the party
with a set determination to be pleased
with every thing that happened and
to contribute more than the usual
quota to the general fund of amuse-
ment. The bride was tastefully attued
in handsome dress and looked as
sweet as only bride can look upon
her wedding night and William
10 ,ked as neat and trim as possible,
and as happy as a clam in high water.
About 7 O'Clock the guests began
to assemble, each one bringing some
useful household article as testimo-
NAL Of good will to the young couple,
which were placed upon a table ore
pared for the occasion. There were
knives, forks, spoons, dishes, butter
knives, sugar spoen, tea pot, pans,

and feloneou on the part of said John
McBratney.
As the morning advanced the crowd
increased, and the feeling was very
bitter against Jack. The authorities
saw that it would not do to give him a
preliminary hearing here, and as the
mail coach passed along the street,
Officers Allison and ]. NJ. Mccormick
brought the prisoner out of the Gala
boose, keeping the crowd at bay with
their pistols. Mounting the coach,
the driver drove out of town on a full
run. Had it been necessary to keep
the prisoner here over night, or even
a few hours longer, the authorities
would have been saved the trouble Of
boarding him and the country would
have been clear of bad riddance. As
it was in less than 4 hours after the deed
vas done the prisoner was on his way
out Of town. 1t was at such time in
the morning that the people had
hardly walked up, and they all seemed
to be so shocked at the horrible deed
that they had not time to reflect.
Mr.. Reynolds had the dead body
conveyed to his house and immediatly
telegraphed to Mr.. Casey's mother in
Chicago, what to do, and got the fol-
lowing answer: Bring or send the
body Of my son home" On Friday
morning services were held in the
Catholic Church, by Father Hamey,
after which Mr.. Reynolds started with
remains to railroad terminus, where he
will see that the body is properly
shipped.
The mother of Mr.. Casey resides in
Chicago. She has family that are
highly respectable and well-to-do peo-
pie. Mr.. Casey came into our camp
last spring and has been in the saloon
business ever since with Billy Rey-
nolds. Although like all mankind, he
had his faults, at the same time he
was we'll liked by everybody, and was
considered very courteous and afable,
making thereby many friends. Every
body seemed to like him and the ap-
palling news spread throughout the
town like wild fire. He was twenty
two years of age, possessing good
education, manly appearance with a
fine physique, and it is sad to cut off
from life in such a manner, one who
could have been pride and JOY to a
now sorrow-stricken mother.
Jack McBradney came here last
spring from Leadville. About Chris
mas he opened a little saloon next
door to Woods & Highwarden's bar
Der shop. He is a puddler by trade
and said to be a native of Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania. He is in the Gunnison
Jail, and the witnesses went down from
here. on Tuesday, when McBratney
was to have hearing before U. S.
Commissioner Abercomble, and then
sent to Denver to stand a trial before
the u. S. District Court.

xyFEcr or THE DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT IN NOVEMBER.
iaY TELEGRAPH TO rHg TRIBUNE-l
WASHING TOM Jan. 27.-The Democrats In the
House of Representatives have already abandoned,
At least temporarily, tho blunder for which they
made such elaborate preparations. No effort was
made to proceed with the consideration of the Eec-
tosal Count resolutions to-day. although Mr Conger
pleasantly remarked that the Republicans were
quite willing to contribute their share to such per-
formance.
Representative Bicknoll was asked by TRIBUNE
correspondent to-day whether the attempt to pass
the Electoral Count resolutions would be renewed.
Oh. yes.n was the reply; but ofcourse it would
be useless to try it without quorum. We had
quorum in the city yesterday, but it seems to have
disappeared already"
Sons Of the Democrats do not appear to care
much about the matter remarked the correspond
ent.
(" We got so badly whipped at the last election
thai some of our men seem TO have lost all their
courage and pretty much all interest In politics. We
cannot depend upon them in an emergency ike

when will you try again :" ssked the corre'

thas we will have quorum of our own members
again by that time. As soon as q quorum appears

Mr. Bicknell does not appear to feel very hopeful
q the nnnl passage OF the resolutions.
