Harry NJ. Wilmington, the popular young
merchant at the corner of Washington and
Charles streets, and Miss Estelle Alder, of
Snickersville, Loudoun county, Virginia,
were united in marriage this morning, in
the NJ. E. Church, South, by Rev. H. P.
Hamill. The ushers were Messrs. Sam OFT
and Nit Slifer, and Mr.. Robert Middekauff
presided at the organ. The handsome bride
was becomingly attired, and Harry was the
impersonation of supreme happiness. The
altar place was beautifully banked with
flowers. The church was well-filled with
interested spectators, and would have been
crowded if the bashful boy had only made
known the hour of the happy event. They
took the noon train for Baltimore and New
York.

We happen to drop in upon our worthy
Mayor, Mr.. Gustav Brown, few days ago,
and found him busily engaged in making
up his quarterly corporation report
Among other items cited was that of fines,
his books showing upwards of 500 in cash
collected during the past quarter, besides
quite nice little sum, perfectly good, that
was uncollected. Offenders of the law, re-
gardless of sex, race or previous condition
of servitude, are usually satisfied with at
tending Mayor Browns court but once
Trials are short and to the point, and re-
suits are financially disastrous. Mr.. Brown
is a faithful and efficient officer, and the
amount of fines collected is quite an item to
our corporation exchequer.

Our theatrical season was formally open
ed Monday night by Hilda Vernon, sup
ported by carefully selected company, in
the beautiful western idyl; "My Partner"
Washington Hall was crowded with theatre
going aud play-loving people of our COM
munity to bid them welcome and to attest
by their presence their due appreciation.
Miss Vernon, as Mary Brandon, captured
the hearts Of her audience and carried their
sympathy throughout the entire perform
ance. She was enthusiastically welcomed
in fact the entire company was received
in this manner. Miss Davenport, as POsey
Pentland, acted the dle-aged lady to
perfection aud created considerable amuse-
ment by her meritorious portrayal. Do.
Putnam. the chraming little soubrette, caught
the boys by her excellent acting and sing
ing.
On Tuesday night the company put on
their own play Of Trina. the Serf." Hilda
Vernon showed to even greater advantage,
if possible, and it is the universal sentiment
that no words of commentator are sufficient
ly strong TO express appreciation Of her
rendition Of the cold-hearted adventures.
Tonight, Wednesday, the beautiful play
Of the Gypsy Queen" will be given-oue of
the prettiest plays on the stage-replete
with quaint phraseOlogy and elegant Ian
guage. But tomorrow night the great
society drama Of EAST Lynne," OF the

We have learned from the management
that the prices will be thesame. One thing
is remarked: Tha. good order prevailed
not the slightest disorder occurred, and moth
ing happened to mar the quiet and pleasure
of the evenings.
This company will remain here the entire
week, assured that the residents of Charles
Town will bestow upon them most liberal
patronage.
