The ceremony took place at 7:3O o'clock at the Congregational church, Bishop Williams officiating The church was elaborately trimmed with flowers and foliage and the large number of assembled guests from home and abroad made the scene one of unusual brilliancy.

DWIGHT PLACE CHURCH.

The Reception Last Evening to the
 New Pastor, Rev. Dr. TWitchell.
 The reception to the Rev. Dr. Twitcheh, the new pastor of the Dwight Place church, last evening was highly enjoyable occasion. The beautiful parlors of the church seemed to be crowded to their fullest capacity, and the tribute of flowers was very beautiful Upon the piano was a profuse and lovely floral display, and upon stand near where the pastor stood during the reception proper beautiful array of roses and other flowers. The people seemed to vie with each other in honoring and welcoming their new pastor, and all were evidently highly pleased and satisfied. The pastor is tall and digni- fled gentleman, of impressive and command ing appearance, who looks we'll qualified to lead and direct with wisdom and discretion, and his powers as speaker have already most favorably impressed his New Haven hearers.
 The reception was evidently voted by young and old, ladies and all, a fine success The last hour was devoted to lessening the supplies of ice cream, choice cake of mum berless kinds, fruits, etc., which the ladies had so abundantly provided, and the cheer full, incessant hum of voices attested the Dr. Twitchell was Massachusetts born and bred. He is native of Middlesex county in the old Bay State. He graduated at Amherst. For thirteen years he was pastor of one of the finest churches of Cleveland, O., situated on Euclid avenue, the splendid avenue, three miles in length which Bayard Taylor felt justifedin terming the finest in the world. Dr. Twitchell for the last few years was pastor of an East Boston church. He will bring his family, consisting of wife and two little girls, to this city in the fall. Mir. Ed P Merwin well discharged the duties of master of ceremonies last evening Some of the loveliest flowers of the occasion were from MT. Watkinson's conservatories. The inter est in the occasion, the unity of the people, the fine location of their church and it's pros poets for the future and their choice of a new pastor are points upon which the mem bership can justly rejoice.

AN ASSIGNMENT.

L. Strauss & Son Of This City And MiddletOwn Obliged To Suspend.
 The carpet store of l.. Strauss & Son on Orange street was taken in charge by Deputy Sheriff Keefe yesterday morning. He then went to Middletown and closed the store conducted by the same firm there. Leopold Strauss, the head of the firm, and also L. Strauss & Son, filed at the local probate of fee petition to make voluntary assign ment to Isaac Ullman of their business here and hearing will be had upon the matter next Monday morning. The Middletown branch of the firm has already been forced into an involuntary assignment. Messrs. Townsend and Ullman are counsel for the Strauss The cause of the assignment here was the pressure of the firms creditors in Middletown, and of Dunbar, Buckley & Go. in New York.
 This is the first case under the new pro- bate law wherein an estate will have to be settled in two different places. There seems likely to be a nice ques- tion involved in the settlement of this es- state. It is claimed here that this is the principal business place of the Strauss, and that in accordance with the statutes the pro ceedings ought to be held here. The Mid dletown creditors, however claim that is the firms principal place of business, and that the matter should be disposed of there. If the probate courts do not agree upon 8 disposition of the matter it will eventually have to be decided in the Superior, or possi- bly, in the Supreme court.
 The total liabilities of the Strauss are said in Middletown to be SIS, 900. The firm will probably make an effort to arrange with their creditors and resume business.

LAST NIGHTS FIRE.

S. E. Merwin & Sons Packing House Badly ScOrched-SaPpOsed to be the Work of an Incendiary. An alarm of fire was sounded from box 43 at half-past seven o'clock last evening. The firemen responded promptly. The flames were in large barn and smokehouse in the rear of s. E. Merwin & Sons packing house on Railroad avenue, on the banks of the Mill river. Officer Dennehy, of the Grand street precinct, first discovered the fire and sounded the alarm When he appeared on the scene the flames were issuing from the center of the structure. Three streams were quickly got on the burning building and after half an hours hard work the flames were got under control, but not until the wooden structure had been burned to the ground. The brick structure adjoining the wooden building, in which were three smokehouses filled with hams, was not damaged much. The stock of hams were wet, but it is thought they are not injured. There were about two hundred casks used for packing pork in the building, which were also badly burned. The loss on building and contents is about $500, fully covered by insurance. It is thought the fire was of incendiary origin as there had been no fire in the building during the day and no possible way It could eaten unless set on fire. In the rear of the building was a large pile of sawdust and shavings, and it is thought that they were set on fire by some one and the flames spread to the building.
 While fremen were hauling out the casks which were in the building drunken man rushed into the flames and commenced pitch ing them out also, but he slipped off pile of the barrels to the ground and was hauled out of the flames, which were all around hin, Ynueh soort.hed and hruiSed
