Christ church never locked more beauti
full and Hymen Deyer piled his subtle pro-
fesson with happier results than last even
ing. The occasion was the marriage of Miss
Mary Duganne White, daughter OF Hon
Charles A. White of this city to DIR. John
Dixie of Melrose, Mass, son of Rev. Sam
uel F. Dixie of Bath. The wedding cere-
mony was performed at Christ church by
the rector Rev. A. +. Beeman, who used
the beautiful aud impressive marriage ser
vice of the Episcopal church. Messrs. Will
g. Ellis, Charles R White, Harry Eben
White of this city, Thomas w. Dixie of
Boston, John NJ. Kimball Of Bath and Thos
Leigh, Jr.. of Halowell acted as
dsheIs. The wedding was attended
by large numbers of Card ,er
society people, among whom Miss White
holds an enviable reputation as one of our
most charming and accom- Ilished young la
lies. The bride was attractively attired in
a faille franchise, with tulle veil, and wore
beautiful bunch of orange blossoms. At the
conclusion Of the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs.
Dixie received the ushers and few intimate
young lady friends at the beautiful home of
her father on Church street. Supper was
served and the happy couple left on the night
Pullman for their home in Melrose, Mass,
where Dr. Dixie has a fine practice as a ply
stefan.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dixie were the recipients of
very large number of elegant presents from
a wide circle of friends in this and other
cities of Maine and Massachusetts,, many of
whom were present at the ceremony. Prof.
Lane presided at the organ, playing the
wedding march and Swans song from Lohen-
gin during the ceremony in an artistic and
finished manner. Everyone pronounced it
pretty wedding.

AT LIBRARY HALL.
4 Brilliant Gathering OF Gardiner
Society People.

One of the most dressy and select balls
which has ever been held in this city was
given last evening at Library Hail. The
affair was under the supervision of Mrs.
Gen. John T. Richards, of this city and in
point of dress and refinement can never be
surpassed. All the society people of our
city were present and many prominent ladies
and gentlemen from other cities in the State
we're in attendance and aided in making the
affair distinguished and prominent among the
society occasions which will be held this
season. An order of seven dances and sew
eral extras formed the first part of the en-
tertainment, after which a fine supper was
served under the direction of Mr.. o. c. Roll
Inns the popular proprietor of the Evans
house. After the intermlssion the seven
following figures in the german were danced.

perfect and exquisite panorama of beauty,
ird the costumes and jewels worn by the
aides, combined in making the affair a per

music in delightful harmony with the char

being new and fascinating.

dob" PARKER CAPTURED.
A Skidaway Island Outlaw Behind the
Bars

Robert Parker (colored) was arrested yes
terday on a warrant from Justice Russell's
court charging him with assault and bat
terry In default Of bond the prisoner was
taken TO Jail to wait the action of the city
court.
The warrant was sworn out July 81 by
Richard Minis tcolored.l Minis stated that
Parker beat him numerically and without
provocation. The difficulty occurred on
Skidaway island. A crowd of colored
BOYS had congregated at the
house of neighbor to engage
in a singing match. Minis was the leader
of one side and Parker led the other side.
The match lasted several hours and ter
minated in general row, headed by the
leaders. Minis said that Parker got mad
because he was beaten and vented his wrath
on him Parker seized a scantling and beat
Minis until he was almost unconscious be-
fore the crowd interfered.
Respectable citizens on the island were
informed of what had TRANSFERRED, and they
requested that the Savannah authorities
take the matter in hand aud deal with
Parker. As soon as Minis was able he was
brought &c town and a warrant was sworn
out in Magistrate Russelps court, charging
Parker with an aggravated case OF assault
and battery. Magistrate Russell dispatched
an officer to the island to arrest Parker, but
The criminal had got word OF what was
going on and he escaped.
An officer was sent to the island several
times to arrest the man, but each time he
was unsuccessful. Parker successfully
eluded them until yesterday, when he came
to town to market He was recognized by
colored man in Yamacraw, who knew that
there was a warrant for him. The colored
man informed Magistrate Russell. officer
Nathans was sent out to arrest Parker.
The latter was on the lookout, and when he
saw the officers coming, he hid in chimney
corner under house. The officers made a
search of the house, and before
going they looked under the house aud dis
covered Parker crouching in the chimney
corner. Parker denies having beat Minis.
He claims that what he did was in self-de-
fanea
