LEGISLATIVE LORE.
VISITING STATESMEN IN THE CITY.
Two Law. Proposed to Prsrsat Some Of til. E,lll
of Modern Ways Of Doing BusIaess-A Blow
at the Prize Rias-A Lively Executive
Session Of the Senate Yesterday.

The executive session of the Senate yester.
day was short, but lively. The proceedings,
OF course, were "private and strictly conhden'
tial" the Senators and officials whose date.
require their presence in the Senate chamber
being sworn not to diyulge any Of the mat
tiers touched IN such LESSONS.
The executive communication transmitted
by the Governor was the appointment OF sue
cessors TO the Board OF Directors OF the State
Hospital for the Insane, at Weston. The ap
polIitments were not acted upon, some objec
lion being made to the law governing
their selection aAd fixing their terms o.
office. The statute provides that the
Directors shall hold their position!
for the term Of six years. 1t was objected &c
this that 1t placed It In the power OF a Gov
ernor to faSlen Board upon his successor
for the full term, and upon the next succeed
ing Governor for half Of his lease Of official
| life. The debate upon the wisdom OF such Q
law was animated and general, and whal
might be called in unparliame atary language
"a picnic" was enjoyed by the Senators. The
matter was deferred with view To propos
ing an amendment to the law. TWAS the opin
ion OF the majority, though not Of all, that
1t was scarcely the fair thing TO hold Gov
ernor responsible for the administration OF q
Board OF Directors saddled upon him by q
predecessor, possibly not In harmony with
him politically or otherwise.

A brilliant wedding Mt bridgeport
Yesterday Aftcrnoon.

Two more members OF the German Of 1918,
well known in Wheeling society, yesterday
Joined hands and answered 10 the words OF
that solemn ceremony which made them
man and wife.
Miss Minnie Junkins, daughter OF Samuel
A. Junkins, Esq, Of Bridgeport and Mr..
John A. Topping, grandson of Mrs.
Tallman and well known In manufacturing
Csscles as the book.keeper Of the Aetna Iron
and Nail Company, were married yesterday
afternoon at half past one o'clock at the resi-.
dence OF the brides father.
For the last few days Wheeling and
Bridgeport society has been In q hum
OF anticipation over this event Yes.
terday dawned bright and beautiful, just
the day for wedding, Notwithstanding the
fact that the weather the past few days and
up till late the day before, had been to say
the least, very unattractivc. Shortly after
noon the long line Of carriages began deposi.
ting their burdens Of elegantly dressed
ladies and gentlemen at the house, till at
hRlf.pAst one, when the ceremony was per-
formed. the spacious psrlors and hall were
crowded with eager guests, about l25 being
present. Promptly at the appointed time
came the groom aud bride'elect, and the
brief, expressive words OF the mar
riage service were pronounced by

terrain church Of Bridgeport. The heart
lest congratulations were then rendered the
happy pair, each In turn striving to wish
them more joy and happiness than the former
ones had done. The bride, q lovely brunette,
dressed in ottoman brocade and surah satin
trimmed with point lace, with diamond orna-
ments; white tulle veil Topped, US was her
dress, with orange blossoms and lilies OF the
valley, never looked lovelier than when,
standing by the side OF the man OF her choice,
her beauty enhanced by her new happiness,
she promised TO "loye, honor and obey"
The various and beautiful costumes OF The
ladies defy description. Velvets, silks satins
caShmereS, lAces and diamonds, combined. to
make up such brilliant scene, that unless ono
were Worth II would be madness to
attempt to describe the toilets separately.
The gentlemen wore the usual full dress.
In the upper hall were displayed numerous
and costly presents, prominent among which
were silver tea set, from the members OF
the German, and clock, bronze ornaments
and panel and pair OF mother OF pearl
mosaic pictures, from the Bridgeport boys.
Soon after the ceremony an appetizirg
lunch was spread, to which the company did
ample justice. After the good.byes had
been said aud the customary old shoe bad
been thrown after them, Mr.. and Mrs. Top
ping left for the East by the way OF the p,
c. & st. L. road, accompanied as far as the
Top mill by score or so OF their friends, who
had sent ther carriage ahead from the depot.
