Fairest Daughters.
The marriage of Miss Lulu Traverse Of
Eureka to A. l. Atkins Of Ruby Hill was
solemnized by Rev. Mr.. Crawford at the
Episcopal Church last evening at 8 o'clock.
Long before that hour the cosy editice was
crowded with friends and spectators, who
Kept up a suppressed and merry CONVERSE
ton until the minister appeared, which
Prof. Pulling accepted as a signal that the
happy couple were about to make their
entrance, and started to play Mendelssohn's
famous wedding march. He had NO. sooner
touched the keys of the organ thar the
doors were thrown open, and the high con-
tracing parties made their appearance.
They moved down the aisle to the chancel
amid a perfect buzz Of admiration, the
groom escorting Miss Eliza O'Keefe, who
acted as bridemaid, while the groomsman
followed Immediately after with the bride.
AS the quartette stood before the minister,
listening to the impressive marriage SER
vice OF the Episcopal Church, the two
gentlemen presented q noble contrast to
the loneliness of their fair companions.
The bride was dressed in the conventional
wedding garment, imported from one of
the leading dry goods houses of New York.
1t was a white Swiss princess, trimmed
with satin, en- train. looped up with orange
blossoms. The customary bridal veil,
fastened with a wreath Of orange blossoms,
fell in a buoyant sway over her fair, white
shoulders and arms Of dazzling whiteness.
Miss O'Keefe was attired in a light blue
tarletan princess, with silk bodice, en-
train, and Topped up with moss roses.
Mr.. Atkins and Mr.. Stinson wore the
regulation black, and looked as fashionable
as If they had come from some State occa-
sion. The father gave the bride away.
After the the happy couple re-
turned to their carriage, and were driven
with all possible dispatch to Ruby Hill.
where the reception occurred.
THE RECEPTION.
Before the newly welded pair arrived,
Miners Union Hall, Old Town, was filled
with invited guests, who gave the bride
and groom a perfect ovation. Bird Rey-
nolds, master Of ceremonies, Immediately
formed a march, Mr.. and Mrs. Atkins
leading off, after which the assemblage was
drawn up in front of a huge table which
fairly groaned under the weight Of silver
ware, of every description, and which, if
turned into buzzard dollars, would buy
dresses for the bride during the next de-
cade. In front of the main table were
placed two sacks of the staff Of life, as a
present from one of Ruby Hills most en-
terprising merchants. The scene almost
staggered the usually imperturbable Rene
and his fair bride, and they wondered who
could have given all those beautiful things.
