Young man of wealth and social
standing in Wheeling, and Miss Mat

ried yesterday. The bans had been duly
proclaimed from the altar of the Catholic
Church, and all preparations had been
made for the wedding. The bride pro-
vided herself with an elaborate trousseau
and the Cathedral had been decorated
for the ceremony. The young mans
business affairs, it was known,
would keep him absent until the last
moment, so nothing was thought of his
nom arrival. The carriages with the we'd
ding party started for the young lady's
home, the groom being expected at the
altar. The church was thrown open and
the bridal party was filing in when the
father of the bride was handed a dis
patch and told to read it before
passing into the church. 1t was
from Barger and said: 81 have

THE SALE DEFERRED.

Spectators Who Expected Bargains Go
Away Disappointed.
The Aldermanic Chamber was crowded
at oon today with people interested in
the property advertised to be sold for ar
rears of taxes, and some who were ready
to invest if a good piece Of property was
offered at a low figure.
IL was to have been the first sale under
the Martin Act. 1t did not take place.
The Collector adjourned it until October
9. The reason given is that the property
owners are making negotiations to try
and settle their Indebtedness to the city
and redeem their property.
One man alone paid in 81, 600 this morn
ing. The Spectators were greatly disap-
pointed, and some regard 1t as q grave
mistake to defer the sale as the delin-
quents will have the impression that the
law is not to be rigidly enforced.
