THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Election Of Onicers-Generai News Con
earning II.


The Public Library Committee of the
Board of Education met, last night, for the
purpose of deciding upon recommendations
to the Board, tonight, suitable persons
to flll the offices of Librarian and Assistant
Librarian. The following gentl emen were
present: Messrs. Caldwell Collier, Max
we'll, ]. A. Miller, John c. Miller and
Schockey. Mr.. Caldwell was elected chair
man and Supt. Birch ran the record.
After some little discussion the salary OF
the Librarian was fixed at 5000 and that OF
the assistant at $3.50 per year.
Henry III. Pendleton was then elected
Librarian, and Miss Annie Carson, Assist
ant Librarian.
There were several aspirants for the posi-
ton of Librarian, and one prtriotic citizen
offered to shoulder the cares and response
bilities of the office for $500. A letter was
received from Charles w. Russell, formerly
of this city, but now Assistant Librarian in
the Congressional Library at Washington.
If the Board was willing to pay 1900 per
wear Mr.. Russell was willing to come and
fill the position, more out OF the love he
bore Wheeling people than OF any particu-
lar desire to come. But the Committee
thought 81, 800 rather diversified its pile
The library project seems to be booming,
and before many weeks the room will be
open TO the public. Aside from the
amount necessary for salaries, there will be
about $1,000 to be expended this year, Of
which 81 500 will go toward repairing and
fitting up the quarters. The room over
Smyth's will undergo great changes before
it is occupied. In the first place, second
platform and exterior fight OF stairs will
be put up, the latter leading toward Market
street. Immediately upon entering will be
a hallway, with doors opening into the
Boards Chamber and Superintendent
office which can be thrown together by
means of folding doors.
The library proper will be 66 feet by %,
or considerably larger than the room for
merly occupied by the library, in Odd Eel
low Hall. 1t will be handsomely fixed and
fitted up, and with the proposed additional
windows, will be large, well lighted, COM
Portable room.
There are some 1000 volumes lin ques-
tionable condition. of the old library,
which will be the nucleus of the new. The
fund is ample to provide an abundance OF
literature, of which our citizens will no
doubt take complete advantage.

An Elegant wedding and Reeeptios,

was celebrated, yesterday, IN which the
elite of the German population of the city
took part The bride was Miss Lizzie Sny'
der, a handsome and popular belle and the
groom Mr.. Charles Welty an equally popu-
lar young gentleman. The nuptials were
celebrated at o'clock last evening at the
Cathedral, which edifice was crowded with
people anxious to witness the sacrament
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Father Deehan, in the solemn form pre-
scribed by the Catholic church.
The bride looked lovely in an elegant
cream satin, and her four attendant ladies
were similarly ::clad in soft white. The
groom and his gentleman friends were. of
course, dressed in conventional black. The
attendants were:
Mr.. William Welty and Miss Ella Hof:
man.
Mr.. Frank woeber and Miss Tillie Wolff,
of Pittsburg.
Pfarr, of Pleasant Valley.
Mr.. Frank Stamm and Miss Julia Gaus.
In the evening reception was given the
Young couple at Franzheim's Hall. A
more recherche party is seldom seen: The
friends of the bride ard groom are legion
and they came in force. The toilettes OF
the ladies were exquisite, in many cases
and perfectly set off the handsome faces
which crowned them.
A delicious and appetizing supper was
spread, consisting of all of the dainties and
delicacies of the season, with plenty OF
wine with which to wash it down. At the
same time Kramer's orchestra furnished
the sweetest of music to which flying feet
danced away the hours.
The bridal couple received many costly
and elegant presents as testimonials from
their friends, which did not begin, however,
to express the good wishes they showered
and ia which the REGISTER fully cOncurs.
