Veagh of New York. The orchestra
played a wedding march and the two
brideS-sisters arrayed In bridal white ex-
aetly alike-came down the stairs and up
the center of the room, stopping in front of
the clergyman. The warning was then
read and Mr.. SquireS stepped forward to
his bride, Miss Mary, and the betrothal cere-
mOny was performed. Lieut.. Glenn then
stepped to his brides side and the betrothal
ceremony was again gone through with.
With the four then standing together the
marriage ceremony was completed. The
ushers were Messers. j. S. How, w. Ii.

DEATH OF COL. SHELLY,
One OF st. Paul's Best known
''Characters,'' i'm Washington.

One OF st. Paul's Rest Known
"Characters,'' i'm Washington.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. April 29.-About mid
night last night Col. W. II. Shelly. for
merly of st. Paul, dropped dead on the
street, between Eighth and Ninth streets
northwest. Officers Riley and Clements
removed his body to his house, No. 1, 141
Eighth street northwest. Col. Shelly was
So years of age. His death was caused by
drOpsy. He had been in feeble health a
long time and his death was not surprise
TO those who knew him.
In ST. Paul Col Shelly was always known
as "Bill' Shelly and was q prominent local
figure during his residence here, which dated
nom 1852 He was a native of New York
and carpenter by trade though he never
worked ut his trade in this city. His inclina-
ton and genius fitted him better for the
career of politician and it was in that that
he made his reputation and living. He had q
peculiar faculty for worming out political
secrets, was always the butt OF newspaper
drives and in later years achieved even a
national reputation. Until shortly after the
war he was a staunch Republican, but for
the last fifteen or twenty years has been as
loyal Democrat The only local Office he
ever held was that of city assessor, though
his political services have secured for him a
good many little plums. such as the position
OF Sergeant-at-arms in both branches of the
state legislature and AT two national Demo
cratic conventions He was also q sutler in
the army. One Of his most intimate asso-
ciateS in this city was Judge Kldder, who re-
moved 10 Yankton, Oak, several years ago.
When Kidder became delegate to
congress from Dakota five or six
years ago his influence made Shelly
doorkeeper In the house OF representatives
He was a portly gentleman, genial, joking,
big-hearted and quite popular In his day. His
favorite loafing place was on the corner at
the Merchants hotel, and he was as much of
landmark there as the hotel itself. Like
many others, his worst fault was his conviv-
iality. His name is intimately linked with
the history of the Sioux outbreak in 1862. At
the time the massacre began he was near
Redwood Falls in the service of the govern
ment, and was the first to bring the news to
st. Paul, making the distance of $50 miles in
twenty-four hours by relays OF horses. He
arrived In St Paul in the night OF the day
following the outbreak, and during the same
night the governor ordered out the troops.
His wife was an estimable lady of superior
ability, and died a number of Yeas ago.
N.th his death there has passed away a man
OF excellent traits, a PROMINENT figure in local
history, and one kindly remembered by host
OF citizens

over-anxious whether they come in or stay

Gliding a Dome.

To many, the coating of dome or roof
with thin gold-leaf would seem to be waste
of material; the first snow or hail-storm
would pierce or tear it to shreds. The fact
that the gold de6es the wear of the weather
induces the belief that it is much thicker
than the leaf used by sign-painters, book
binders and makers of fancy ornamental
articles; but the fact is, that the gold-leaf
is precisely the same, airy, feecy, and ca
pable of floating in the air like gossamer
fibre. The glider of the dome of the cap
itol at Hartford, Conn, Capt. Thomas +.
Burke, said that his principal trouble in
doing the work was from currents of air,
the altitude being more than 200 feet from
the ground, and the site of the building it
self being one of the highest in the city.
To do the work properly, he constructed
movable canvas shield made to fit the cur
vature of the dome and its twelve radiai
ribs, not so much to shield the workmen, as
to prevent the leaf from being blown away.
To cover this dome-an area of 4 100 sqr
feet-there were used 81 800 leaves of
gold; each 3S inches square, weighing in
the whole three pounds avoirdupois. The
total cost of the gold and the labor was
$1,000.
