WEDDING OF A SENATOR.
Wolcott, of Colorado, Joined In MnrrinE
to n Buffalo Widow.

Wolcott. of Colorado. Joined In Marriage
to n Buffalo Widow.
BUFFALO, N. Y, May 14.-The society
world of Buffalo came out at noon to-day to
attend the wedding of Mrs. Frances
Metcalfe Bass, of this city, and
United States Senator Edward Wolcott,
of Denver, Col. The marriage was
celebrated in st. Paul's Cathedral,
the Rev. DIR. Francis Lobdell officia-
ting. The full boy choir led the procession,
singing "The Voice that Breathed Ger
Eden," while in the tower the chimes
the choir were the ushers, Messrs. George
Carey, Thomas Carey, George NJ. Porter
and Carleton Smith.
The bride came down the main aisle,
walking with her son, Mr.. Lyman Metcalfe
Bass. and was met at the chnncel by the
groom and his best man and brother, Mr..
Henry X. Wolcott, of Denver. The bride
wore Worth gown OF white satin brooade
and null, trimmed with point lace and
crystal. The sleeves and high collar were
entirely made OF tho rich point. Diamond
pins caught the lnco here and there and
fastened tho white ostrich feather toque.
The groom's gilt, circlet Of ten large dia-
monds, was worn nt the neck, and the hand
bouquet was OF 10 France roses. The bride
was given away by her mother, Mrs. james

extending possibly over many years. And
now, at the end of only one year, an over
whelmlng majority of the Presbyteries OF
the church are loudly demanding revision,
the great and influential Presbytery OF New
York standing at the head of the column.
A few predictions may be safely made in
regard to the discussion of the question in
the coming General Assembly. First, the
debate will mark an ara in the history OF
American Presbyterianism. Second, if any
revision is made, it will be the result of
compromise between the revisionists and the
anti-revisionists, in which neither will get
just what they want. And thirdly, the
Church will not only survive this agitation,
but will, in the end. be the stronger because
of it. For, as result, it will be brought
into closer touch with the living present,
without being cut off from the venerable
traditions OF the past To revise creed is
not to repudiate it, but rather to make it the
more perfect expression of the Church's
thought. And to that result the present re-
vision moyementin the Presbyterian Church
tends.
HOW THE VOTE STANDS.
Up to date all but five Presbyteries have
been heard from on the question. The re-
turns show that 133 have voted for revision, 60
against revision, and have declined to vote.
Most OF the Presbyteries not heard from are
foreign. The Independent in this weeks
issue publishes the vote in detail for each
Presbytery. According to its footings, 1884
ministers and elders have voted against re-
vision and 1884 ministers and elders have
voted for revision. Twenty-seyen of the
Presbyteries cast a unanimous yote-12
against and Is for revision.

THE OLD ST. NICHOLAS.
An Inn OF the Past Rnzed TO Make Room
for Pile of the Present.

This landmark and inn of our olden time
was commenced March 10, 1890. This hotel,
although it was not so large or Of the ma
tional reputation that the st. Nicholas
Hotel, of New York, in its day enjoyed, yet
was OF sufficient size for the accommodation
of patrons In the time of its prosperity, and
was we'll and favorably known in this city
and elsewhere at that period.
The hotel building was four-story brick
structure, situate on the corner of Grant
street and Fourth avenue (old Fourth
street). The building was conveniently
located, being on the direct way to the
different railroad depots, as also near the
steamboat landings at the foot of Grant
street, on the Monongahela river. Further,
1t was near the County Court House,
and in consequence we'll suited for accom-
modating the general travelling public, as
well as parties attending the courts as suit
ors, jurors and witnesses. In its best DAYS
the parlors and dining rooms on the second
floor, the sleeping apartments on the floors
above, and every other requisite were con-
venient and comfortable. The hotel office
was at the corner of Grant and Fourth
streets. Adjoining were the barroom and
frances from the exterior and interior Of the
building. In the last days Of this hotel the
barroom was put where the Office was and
the Office removed to the Fourth avenue
side, below the hotel entrance there.
The surviving patrons Of this old hotel
will recall many entertaining "reminiscences
OF old times therein, as IL was iavorite

INDEPENDENT OF PLUMBERS.
PEBBLES Put on the OvernIls, but
Had No Card.

Had No Gard.
An amusing scene occurred in one OF the
new Westinghouse buildings at Wilmerd-
ing on Tuesday last. During the past week
the plumbers strike has been somewhat of
an obstacle to the further advancement of
the building, but Architect PEBBLES is one
OF those men who delight in overcoming
obstacles. He is also deeply learned in more
crafts than that OF architecture, possessing
among his other requirements a practical
knowledge of plumbing. On Tuesday the
work was delayed because necessary con-
nection between the pipe systems was un-
made Mr.. PEBBLES saw the difficulty and
resolved to make the required connection
himself.
Accordingly, armed with the necessary
tools, he mounted ladder and set to work
in business-iike fashion. Presently a
walking delegate came along. He noticed
Mr.. PEBBLES at work, and asked him
If he possessed a Plumbers Union card.
Mr.. PEBBLES refused to reply. The man de-
parted and returned in about ten minutes
with large delegation of plumbers, who
demanded 10 see Mr.. PEBBLES card.
The architect was now thoroughly reused.
From his elevated position on the ladder he
shouted, ''I have no card. 1 am the archi-
tect of this building, which, until it is fin
ished, Is the same as my own house. can
tear II down or do anything I choose with IL
without asking the opinion ofany body" The
delegation then took the floor and became
highly argumentative aud even threatening.
Finally Mr.. Walsh, the superintendent,
discharged all the plumbers In tho delega-
tlon. The baiIled strikers marched of,
glorying In their martyrdom; while Arehi-
teot and Plumber PEBBLES continued his
pipe connection with triumphant smile on
his expressive features.

at the idea OF using any other kind of stone

stone is more abundant than sandstone. 1t

HoLLIDAYsBURG, Pa, May Il
In fancy the horn Of the Conestoga
vsgoner, or the stage coach teamster, has
again echoed through the Allegheny Noun
tains. A Stuiebaker farm wagon, although
built expressly for The DIsPACH, is not
tally-ho by any means, nor are the Skiles
bolster springs, with which our outfit is
furnished, quite as luxurious as the great
leathern strap-springs OF the Concord
coaches. But we have been riding on the
old turnpikes of the overland period, and
the cornet player of our party has made the
cir ring with fourishes and blasts.
Long years ago, when the stages from
Ebensburg ratified down the mountain east
ward, the passengers inside were notified of
q sharp curve in the road just beyond Hol-
lidaysburg by the trumpet. Then they
braced themselves for the jerk.
Que Of the Natives surprised.
We had heard of this place, and we

fourishes rising and falling in happy har-
mony with the motion of the vehicle. The
little lady who keeps tollgate at that point
came out IN a great hurry. She looked as
though she expected to see the ghost of one
OF the wagoners of '32.
After leaving Cresson, your exploring
party pursued its way eastward over the old
Philadelphia pike. About mile back OF
Cresson we reached the summit Of the ALLIE
ghenv Mountains and Beaye and Buceph-
alus rested their weary legs at an altitude of
over 2, 200 feet above tide-water. The view
from this point was magnificent We looked
over an area of mountain peaks and valleys
80 miles in extent With the naked eye
were seen the towns of Ebcnsburg and Lo-
retto, while glass brought Carroltown and
Altoona's spires within the range Of vision.
Here we stood almost in the center of the
800 acres of forest which Andrew Carnegie
bonght some years ago as a park for a castle
which he then contemplated building for
summer residence.
slightly Emlnence.
From the western extremity of this wood
land may also be seen the city of Johnstown
and the windings of the treacherous Cone
maugh for miles and miles. Carnegie still
holds the land, and if his castle is ever built
it will become celebrated as the loftiest
dwelling place in Pennsylvania.
Mrs. William Linton, who keeps a sum-
mer hotel on the summit, brought cut to the
wagon a pair of field glasses, which enhanced
the beauty Of the landscape before u.s. She
says the glasses were carried by General Nc
Clellan through his earlier campaigns in the
Rebellion; that the General gave them to
General Hardy. and that officer presented
them to her brother, William Meyers. The
glasses are weather-beaten enough to confirm
the statement.
We now began the descent of the eastern
slope Of the Alleghenies. Noon found us
in the very heart OF the mountains-at a
wild romantic spot called "The Holy
Fount." Gushing from the rocks by the
roadside is a gurgling pool of water. 1t is
wreAthed in everlasting shade by out
puttings Of dripping rocks, the interstices
matted thicklY with pine, laurel and wild
grapevines.

though.
am impressed with the fact that Blair
county, being so bountifully blessed with
limestone quarries, is very nearly In the
center OF the State. Its location might help
to solve the problem of supplying counties
in both Eastern and Western Pennsylvania
where there is no Limestone. 1t would be n
central point for transportation facilities,
and Altoona could be made vast base Of
supplies.
