MajOrG. q. Common Sues Colonel
J +. MseGOwan for Libel by
Criminal and Civil Action and
the Latter Also Enters Suit.


Times, /,
Major &C. Counor, editor Of the late
Democrat, yesterday begun criminal
and civil action for libel againt Colo
oel J. Il. MacGoWan, editor Of the
Times, aud the latter began civil
action for damages against the former.
The suits were occasioned by corre-
spondence which passed between the
two gentlemen. The first named, in
an interview with a reporter Of the
Times on the day the Daily Democrat
suspended, denounced Colonel Mac
Gowan in very strong and embittered
terms. This coming to his ears, be
accosted the editor Of the late Demo-
crat at his Office and resented his
illusions in equally strong language,
and the latter explained his illusions
by saving he simply repeated what he
heard. The next day Major Conner
sent Colonel MacGowsn a grossly III
sulting and libelous letter, and the
latter responded in writing, in which
by implication he alluded to some
alleged acts Of Major Conner. The
suits arose from this correspondence.
The case against Colonel Mac
Gowan will come up before Squire
Critic ct 9 am. to day. Dewitt &
Shepherd are his counsel. Dodson 4

Last evening the neat little Grace
Episcopal church, South Washington,
was filled to overlooking to witness
the wedding of Mr.. Peter McUalom.
Of the province of Manitoba, aud Miss
Lizzie A Gabriel, of this city. AT 8
o'clock the ushers, Mr.. j. Walter
OoOksey and Alex Douglas, preceded
the Young couple to the altar, Miss
A. Wilmuth, the orgaRist, playing the
wedding march. The ceremony was
impressively performed by the rector,
Rev. Fred q. Lee, MIR. Douglas giving
the bride away. The bride, who is
quite a handsome girl, was attired in
white silk. Immediately after the
ceremony the couple returned to the
residence Of the bride. Later the
northern train took them to their far
away home in Manitoba.
There is little romance connected
with these parties. The groom lives,
as stated, in the province Of Manitoba,
where the bride has a married sister
living. Through the sister the groom
about four years ago heard Of Miss
Gabriel, and a correspondence was
commenced, during which, notwith
standing they bad never seen each
other, their feelings toward each
other became mere than simply
friendly. The hearts Of the writer's
glowed with love. Portraits were OK

given Of each other. The result wss
that q few months ago they became
engaged to be married on condition
that there was no change of feeling
after a personal interview. The time
for the nuptials was fixed for Septem
Der OF October. The young lady in
the meantime made preparations to
take leave Of ABSENCE.
The groom about the first Of the
month arrived here, being DESTROYS of
seeing the lady. He wrote a note 10
