The Las Vegas IN. N.Y. Optic of March 26
says: The Optic has just received from the
representative present at the happy nuptial
event hasty account of the marriage of our
esteemed friend and worthy citizen, Mr..
Wilson Waddingham, to an accomplished,
handsome and worthy lady, Miss Mamie
Barrow, daughter of Major and Mrs. J. E.
Barrow of St. Joseph, Missouri. 1t is said
to be, by those who ought to know, purely a
love match. Major Barrow, with his estima-
BILE wife and daughter, have been sojourning
at the Las Vegas Hot Springs for some time
past. The marriage ceremony was quietly
but impressively performed this afternoon at
8 o'clock by the Rev. f. s. Brush, Presbyte.
rian minister at East Las Vegas.
The guests were composed principally of
the brides immediate family, the groom's
eldest daughter and son in-law, the Hon.
William j. Mills, and few intimate friends
of both. In fact, it was o perfectly unos
tentatious affair, strongly indicative of the
bridegroom himself, whom we have known
for the past twenty years or more, during his
residence in this territory, and latterly in
timately, consequently the Optic can speak
knowingly and intelligently.
Mr.. Wilson Waddingham is gentleman
very largely interested in and greatly identi-
fed with the welfare and interests of our
territory. He is not only the wealthisst, but
one of the truest, most honorable and gener-
GUS of men, whose hand is ever ready to as
sist the worthy, poor and needy. The OPP
tic wishes them both a safe and happy jour
pey through life.

Patrick O'Mesrs of Meriden seems to have
an especial weakness for the Now Haven
depot. Sunday night he committed several
queer freaks about the depot and became 30
noticeably unpleasant to people who hap
pened to be there that he was brought 10 the
police station by Onaeer Bart Tisrnan. He
was released yesterday morning, but last
night he again made his appearance at the
depot, and again he became 90 conspicuous
that he was taken to the police station.
