of Charler Institute. The groom was DR.. J. Tracey
Edison, nephew Of Mr. Franklin Edison Of the Prod
uce Exchange, and the best man was Mr., Joseph j..
Morton. Seven bridesmaids attended Miss Charlicr at
the altar and the bridal party was preceded by two
little girls with flowing tresses dressed in costumes Of
spotess white and bearing handiuls of flowers. Bsh-
op Lttlejohn, in the absence Of Rev, Dr. Morgan in
Europe, assisted by Rev. Mackay Smith, assistant
rector OF st. Thomas's church. The bridal toilet was
composed Of white brocade Of rare texture-tbe foun-
dalton being silk and the brocading of velvet flowers
The design beautiful and tasteful as well as novel
The trimming consisted Of marabOut feathers, aud
the BQuarecut COrRage hed In with dainty drifts
Of old lace. The illusion veil fastened to the Golf
fure and again TO the prncesse train by simple floral
ornaments. The bridesmaids wore short dresses with
pulled sleeves, and their faces were shaded by large
| Monte Carlo hats"
The first of this week John Fitzgerald, a
man not unknown to local fame, accused W.
II. Alexander of stealing cabbage plants from
| his garden, and tried to have @. b. Kirwan
sign a complaint against him. After Kirwnn
had been beset about the matter for the bet
ter part of two days, he came up to i. W.
Stoddard's Office to talk the matter over, and
called in Alexander to tell his story. Mr. Al
| exander's statement was plain and satisfacto-
ry, being simply that he had asked Fitzgerald
Sunday if he had n certain kind of cabbage
| plants. Fitzgerald said no, but that he had
another kind, which Alexander was welcome
| to- Alexander said he didn't want any "wel-
come" about it, but if he got the plants was
] willing to pay for them. Not finding the
plants he wanted Alexander went Monday
morning, about o'clock, and got 100 plants
| from Fitzgerald's garden, going directly from
there to @. Kidders and mentioning having
| got the plant3-having no intention other
than to pay Fitzgerald for them when he saw
him. Certain parties, however put up the
latter to try aud make trouble for Alexander,
and the result was the charge of theft Nc
complaint was signed by Kirwan, but good
| joke grew out of the affair from remark
made by Haskins after Alexander LIFT Stod
dard's Office, to the effect that he (Haskins)
was a magistrate, and the best thing be could
do was to fine Mr.. Alexander 500 and the
lawyers would divide the proceeds. Fitzger
aid, in his eagerness and innocence, thought
this was bona .fde judgment, and went OIL
the street and so reported it. 1t is to be re-
GREETED IL the affair has made Mr.. Alexander
any trouble of mind, for nobody who knows
the facts supposes he was guilty of any crook
edness in the matter. Eight o'clock on
June morning, with boy to help, would
hardly be the time or way to steal cabbage
plants.
