The bride is a prominent lady of
Wheeling society:
The wedding of DIR. Ashbel F.
Hustead and Miss Alice V. Kelly,
which took place yesterday after
noon, was an event that will he long
remembered by those who witnessed
the ceremony. Not for several sea
sons past, has there occurred in
Wheeling a society event so notable
and elegant. The wedding took
place at the residence of A. Wilson
Kelly, Esq, the brides father, on
Twelfth street. The daylight was
excluded from the handsome and
spacious parlors, and they were lit
with gas and prettily decorated with
smllax, roses, white and yellow dali
sizes, pansies and lilies. 1t was
largely full dress affair and an un-
usually large number of rich and
fashionable toilets were worn.
The hour set for the ceremony was
2 o'clock, and that hour found the
lower hall and rooms crowded with
the leading representative of Wheel
ing's business, professional and So
ciety circles, and a number of friends
from out Of the city. Kramer's
orchestra, assisted by Killmyer, oc-
cupied a side room, and previous to
the wedding delighted the guests
with several selections perfectly
played. At given signal the old
familiar strains of Mendelsshon' s
Wedding March filled the house,
and the bride party descended the
stairs in this order:

daffer and PEBBLES Tatum.
DR.. Reed McC. Baird and Miss

Virginia Pendleton.
Dr. Hustead and his bride. Miss
Kelly was attired in a beautiful
white satin maruelleur costume,
court train, with crystal trimming,
point lace and diamonds. She never
appeared to better advantage, and
many were the compliments paid her.
The bridesmaids were similarly
attired in white satin marvellous,
Misses Harden's and Young's cos
tunes being trimmed with point
lace, and that of Miss Pendleton
with crystal. Their ornaments were
diamonds. The ladies of the party
carried bouquets of rosebuds tied
with satin ribbons.
The party was ushered through
the throng to the front of the spa
cious hall, when the Rev. DR.. Dun
ningham and the families of Mr..
Kelly and DR.. George Baird were
waiting. The words were soon said
that made the principals man and
wife. During the ceremony, low,
soft music was played, which was
changed to joyous measure as soon
as the last words were spoken. The
next half hour was spent by the bridal
party in receiving congratulations.
Refreshments were served in an
elegant manner, and number of
the young folks enjoyed several dan
ces. DR.. and Mrs. Hustead left on
the 4:1O train on p. w. Il KY, on a
bridal tour of two or three weeks
