ILwAoo, Dec. II, 1888.

1LWAOO, dec. IL, 1888.
Probably last evening was one of the
most tempestuous, the wettest, and
most uncomfortable to be out doors
in, yet all of Ilwsoo's society braved
the storm to be present at the we'd
ding of Mr.. Emerson Heath and Miss
Ada Kofoed, which was consummated
at the church at 7 P. NJ. Judge G. G.
Dalton used the Episcopal service,
which he conducted in an impressive
manner. Walter Seaborg acted as
best groomsman, Miss Addie Patton
as first bridesmaid, Mr.. Otto Hall
and Miss Bertha Graham assisting.
The bride was prettily srrsyed in
low-necked dress, color of ashes of
roses, white bridal veil, pearl necklace
and looked charming. Both of the
contracting parties are very popular
and deserve the hearty congratula-
tious they received. Although the
church is several years old, this is
the first wedding that has occurred
within its sacred walls. Generally
our people go to Astoria or. Oyster
vile when they wish to be married.
A society, known as the Ilwaco gun

Elbon's majority. ty..................3 .3O
In this ward there were 278 votes
cast for Bowlby and Elbon. and one
scattering for Fox.
The result is that Mr.. Fox will fill
the vacancy caused by the expiration
of Councilman Sherman's term, and
Mr.. Elbon will fill the place made
vacant by Councilman Carruther's
resignation.
The politics OF the different candi.
dates seemed to make the election a
matter of interest to q good many,
and so far as that is concerned, hon
ors are easy at present as the council
will stand evenly divided-thlee Re-
publicans and three Democrats.
At the city election held q year ago
on the 18th of this month, Bergman,
received $50 and Trullinger 265 votes
in the first ward, a total of 595, which is
It's votes more than were cast for
councilman in the first ward yester-
day. In the second ward last year,
Welch received 207 votes and Stokes
141, total of 348, which is 20 votes
more than were cast yesterday.
Fox's majority OF 1873 yesterday is
larger majority than was received
by any candidate on the city ticket
last year, with the exception of
hsrbor master, who got the combined
vote of both wards: Snow 643, Nc
Cabe 800; majority of 1923 for Snow.
At that time McCabe was out of
town and was not able to make a
personal canvass, which probably ac-
counts for Shows phenomenal ma
jority. Last year the total vote for
street superintendent was $40, which
was the largest total vote cast for any
one Office and which is 254 more than
the total number cast yesterday.
The difference may be accounted
for by the fact that last years elec-
tion day was as fine weather as could
be wished, while yesterday voters al
most had to swim to the polls. And
it was believed there were some few
illegal votes cast last year, whereas
yesterday probably there were none.
The elected candidates were the re-
cipients OF condolences from their
friends last evening. while congratu-
lations were rendered the defeated
ones.
Captain Hustler's brass cannon was
brought out and made mingle its
thunder tones with the whish of
rockets, celebrating the result Of the
election in the first ward.
1t is probable that the result of the
election has given as much general
satisfaction as 1t would had the result
been different.
