Daniel Carr, one of our most popular young
men, formerly residing at GAINESVILLE, this

Miss Maggie Carey, of Los Angeles, Cali

taken from the Los Angeles Eoening Express:
"The residence of Mr.. Thomas A. Carey.
at the corner of Fourth and Charity streets,
was the scene last night of one of those
happy events which sendstwo young lives
out into the world to meet, hand-in hand
the joys or sorrows which time may hold in
reserve for them. The bride was the daugh-
ter of our distinguished fellow citizen, who
has done more than perhaps any other man
here to develop and perfect our wonderful
horticultural resources. The groom was Mr..
j. ID. Carr, who holds a position OF response
bility and trust in the Southern Pacific Rail-
road company. large number Of friends
were assembled to witness the interesting
ceremony, and the parlor was handsomely
decorated with the choicest flowers, grace
fully hung in festoons from the ceiling At
half-past eight o'clock the bride and brides
maids, in elegant costume, and the groom
and groomsmen and the parents of the bride,
marched into the parlor, where the Rev.
MIR. Birdsall was waiting to tie the nuptial
knot. The cermony was performed accord
ing TO Episcopalian marriage ritual, with all
the impressiveness peculiar to that beautiful
and eloquent formula. At its conclusion
the relatives and near friends of the bride
warmly saluted her and gave her their
heartfelt congratulations. The company
then sat down to refreshments, and spark
ling conversation, succeeded by vocal and
instrumental music, made the hours glide
happily away. The bride is stately young
woman with charming cast of feature,
indicating most amiable and sympathetic
disposition. When the hour of parting
arrived, and the groom was ready TO carry
from the home of her parents the last flower
in their domestic chaplet, the scene was af-
fecting in the extreme, and all hearts were
deeply moved. They at last went away,
carrying with them the benedections and
good wishes of all present"
