THE BELL.ENsIGN NUPTIALs.
ur. Charles M. He'll and Miss Mamie
Il. Ensign Join Hands ana
Hearts this Afternoon.

One of the most happy events it has
been the pleasure OF the DEMOCRAT to
record for some time is the marriage this
afternoon at 8 80 O'Clock of Miss Mamie
T.. Ensign to Mr.. Charles NJ. Bell, at the
residence OF the BRIDES father, Mr.. j. G.
Ensign, at No. 26l Second East street,
the Rev. r.. q. McNiece officiating in the
ceremony which made them man and
wife. The solemn service proved an
interesting feature to the many friends OF
both contracting parties in attendance on
the suspicious occasion.
The bride is one of Salt Lakes sweetest
and most respected girls, for which this
city, above all others, is generously
blessed. The groom is well known
throughout the East and West as the
gentlemanly representative OF the manu-
featuring and jobbing house of w. l..
Parrotte & Co., Omaha, Neb. Charley
is a general favorite among his many
customers.
The wedding was somewhat sudden,
and u surprise to many not noting the
groom's frequent visits and apparently
rushing business in this far-of, isolated
spot, but this elimination OF several
years friendship has been looked forward
TO by the immediate associates and friends
of the happy twain for long time, and
the pleasing affair was delightfully."- ar
ranged and carried out in every partic-
ular.
The parlors were exquisitely arranged
and profusely decorated with floral offer
ings in the most charming manner. and
the many handsome gifts were prettily
arranged for the inspection and admira-
ton OF every one present. The bridal
pair were quietly married, with but a
small party OF the relatives and BRIDES
immediate associates present. The bride
was married in n pretty travelling suit,
but the reporter was permitted to
view the bridal rousseau, which is
among the handsomest ever made in the
city, and will be worn at the reception at
the Paxton House, in Omaha. After the
tying of the nuptial knot, over fifty con-
gratuatons were read, which have been
pouring in all day from friends unable tc
be present. Several kilograms of "best
wishes" were decidedly amusing, and
caused no little laughter and pleasing re
Spouse. The happy couple were followed
by their friends to the depot, where they
took the $40 Denver & Rio Grande trail
for Ogden, where they remain owe
night and witness the marriage of Mr.
Dan Ensign aud Miss Ross Dee at
! o'clock tomorrow morning, after which
