One of the largest assemblage of spec

at st. Pauls church last evening on the
occasion of the marriage of Mr.. Otway
Allen and Miss Mary, daughter of Adju-
tant. General Mcdonald. The galleries
were crowded, the body OF the church
filled, and the aisles, even, were jammed.
In addition to the Christmas decora-
tions, the sacred edifice, in which so
many of our noblest and gentlest have
plighted their faith, was especially orna-
mented for the event Of the evening.
Midway the main aisle the special guests
were separated from the general guests
by graceful evergreen arch, and the
chancel was one mass OF palms, inter
spersed with tropical plants OF various
hues and texture. the green bower softly
lighted by candalabra judiciously ar
ranged. Mr.. Jacob Reinhardt entertained
the expectant crowd with his usual
mastery music until $50 o'clock, when
he struck into the wedding march. the

following order:
Ushers: Messrs. s. S. =. Patteson,
Armistead Wexford, NJ d., Barton HaX-
all, and Dudley Mcdonald.

Miss Brodnax of Lynchburg, Miss Hattie
Ross, Miss Rosalie Winston, and Miss
Mary Handy.

arm of her father, and was met at the
chancel by Mr.. Allen, accompanied by
his best man, Mr.. William II. Grant, Jr.
Rev. J. B. Funston read the impressive
wedding service of the Episcopal church

500 a wear. and the unmarried widow OF
any soldier who died in active service

GLEN CARBON, Pa, February 1.-The
wives and daughters of the striking mn.
ers attacked the "scabs" or non union
men who went to work in the Reading
Compsny's Glendower collery yesterday.
About seventy-tive excited women, each
carrying loaf Of bread, met the men as
they came out of the mines. One young
woman advanced and read an address to
the frightened men about the shame of
taking The places of their husbands and
brothers, and of offering 10 share their
last crust with them. They then offered
the loaves, which were refused. The
women then hurled the loayes upon the
heads of the "scabs,' used opprObrious
epithets, and chased them pell-mell to
the miners train, which took the scared
men out of the reach of the infuriated
women. This was the first outbreak of
the strike.
