VEST WASHINGTON.

AS stated In Thursdays CRITIC the we'd
ding of Mr.. VIM. B. williamson, formerly
of this place, and Miss Mamie f. Shepperd
took place at the Episcopal Church in War
rcnton, Va, yesterday, Rev. DIR. Nelson
performing the ceremony. On account Of
the suddenness Of the marriage the we'd
ding was wholly informal. Mr.. John f.
Beall acted as best man, while Miss Maggie
Cox supported the bride. The ushers were
Frank Robinson, Stanhope Williamson,
James Maddox, and Fred. Power. In spite
Of the short time intervening between the
announcement and the solemnization of the
marriage the presents Of the bride were
numerous, varied and elegant. Among
them were dozen solid silver teaspoons,
dozen solid silver pearl-handled knives,
a cutglass decanter, with dozen glasses,
an elegant hand-painted parlor lamp, and
silver tete-a-tete set
Two arrests were made yesterday-one
for keeping an unlicensed bar and the
other for disorderly conduct.
For many years well-known figure in
our streets has been that OF colored man
named William Walker, more commonly
known as "six-foot Walker" He was the
tallest black man ever seen In our town,
standing about six feet six inches In his
stocking feet. However, the small boy
will have no more fun at the expense Of
Walkers height, as yesterday, about half
past seven, he dropped dead at the corner
of Twenty-ninth and o streets. He was
carried to his home on Poplar street, be-
tween Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth
streets, and DIR. Suter was called In, who
stated that death was caused by stroke OF
apopleXy. The coroner was notified.
Officer Burroughs little son continues
