In striking contrast with the avet~
age American wedding, where the CON
tracing parties HE away o o after
the ceremony, was social event last
evening in German society in this city,
conducted IN truly Teutonic fashion.
The hymeneal festivities began early
in the evening, and continued una
bated until daybreak this morning. Mr..
George Zipp was the happy father. his
| daughter was the bride. Mr.. Peter
| Niebel the groom, and o host OF friends
were the guests. At eight o'clock, ut
the residence of the father, 10 Elm
Place. in the presence of a large COM
pany, Miss Josie Zipp was united i'll
wedlock to Mr.. Peter Niebel, the cere-
mony being performed according to
the German custom and in the Ger
man language by Rev. DR.. Henni-
ken. pastor OF the Henry Street Lu-
1heran Church. The ceremony was
brief but impressive. Mr.. Zipp gave
his daughter away. the parties joining
hands, and the groom sealed the con-
tract with u ring and a kiss. The bride
was handsomely dressed in maroon
silk with lace trimmings, a diamond
breastpin, and a diamond ring and dia-
mond earrings, the gift of her hus-
band. At the conclusion of the cere.
mony the company walked in couples
from the ho"se to the tasino a. dom
ING, and sat down at the banqueting
tables in the par]ors upstairs. In the
enter OF the room was Il long table
laden with wedding presents and flow
crs. The collation. having been served,

At midnight the party assembled in

aware thai the season had suddenly
changed and that they were in the
midst Of q driving snow-storm. Large
W lite flakes were mysteriouslJ falling
from above. and the floor was soon
covered with n snowy mating. In the
distance was heard the merry ring Of
approaching sleigh bells. The dancers
stopped in amazement, and the bride
clin@ing to her husband, anNiou,ly
awaited an explanation Of the bril-
liant transformation scene. AS II DS
magic the folding doors rolled back
and y fiery black seed, richly ,caparl'
soned, galloped into the hall, drawing
an elegant Albany cutter. The turn
out, driven by Mr.. ferdinand Linn
made the circuit OF the room severa
