AT PLYMOUTH CHURCH.

A Fine Church Wedding in Milford.
MILFORD, Nov. 4-One of the most beau
tiful weddings that ever occurred in this
Wednesday evening. The church had been
tastefully trimmed with flowers, the princi-
pal feature being an arch with gates of ever
green. From the center of the arch was
suspended bell of laurel. On the platform
were potted plants arranged by the ladies of
the church; the whole giving an elegant ap-
pearance. Fine music was rendered by Mr..
Will Clark, the organist of the church, while
the guests were being seated. A few min
utes after six o'clock the bridal party entered
the church, the contracting parties being
Mr.. Walter E. Patchen, of Bridgeport, and
Miss Alice Putney, sister of DR.. w. S. Put
ney. They were preceded by the two little
daughters of Harvey Mallory dressed in pink
and blue, each carrying basket of flowers.
Following were the best man, Mr.. Hartley
Williams of Bridgeport, with the maid of
honor, Miss Gussie Hustled of Greenwich;
the two ushers, Messrs. Howard
Russell and Edward FL. Wi1mot
of Bridgeport, and the bridesmaids, Miss Sa-
of Milford. Then came the bride with her
brother, who gave her away, the groom
meeting her at the altar. They were mar
ried after the English ceremony with the
Episcopal service. Rev. Mr.. Axtelle, pastor of
the church, performed the ceremony, assist
cd by Rev. F. Saunders of the Methodist
church. The bride was elegantly dressed in
white satin, cut princesse. with full train,
and wore veil with orange blossoms, and
looked charmingly. The groom and
ushers were in full dress. As the
bridal party proceeded down the aisle after
the ceremony, the little maids strewed the
way with flowers from their baskets. From
the church the party drove to the residence
of DR. p utney, where the intimate friends
were given a reception and a sumptuous en-
tertainment was provided and merrily en-
joyed. Hearty congratulations and good
wishes for much of ife's happiness were
generously expressed. The happy couple were
the recipients of many beautiful gifts from
relatives and friends. During the evening
Mr. and Mrs. Patchen took the train from
New Haven for New York, Brooklyn and
other places to be absent about ten days. On
their return they will make their permanent
residence in Bridgeport. Friends from Brook
lyn, New York. Bridgeport, Stratford, Green
wich, Bethel Portchester and Westport were
present Hanford & Nichols, of Bridgeport.

supper. May the clear bright day prove
harbinger of their future married life.

Many people who Glanced to be on the
streets last night shortly before 10 O'Clock
were treated to beautiful meteoric display.
A spectator describes it thus: ''My atten-
ton was drawn to the southern sky by pc
culiar kissing, and on looking up discov-
cred ball of fire which appeared to be as
large as the globes of the electric lights. It
descended with great velocity, leaving a
track of fire behind. After the meteor had
disappeared there remained bright light in
the heavens which resembled the spread
wings of an eagle" Others who witnessed
the phenomenon say it was the largest mass
they had ever seen fall.
