1t IL more and more on the day OF

travelling salesman for Logan, Gregg &
Co., an extensive hardware establish
ment Of Pittsburg, and Miss Eleanor
Fraser Turner, the charming daughter
OF Mrs. Ella b. and the late DR.. E. f.

one OF the prettiest affairs that has taken
place in this city for some time, the in

priately bedecked, and the attendance
being quite large, the guests being con-

Among those present from out OF

Flora Price. of Kenton, O.; Miss Christ
Inc Emo, of st. Louis and Miss Minnie
Vonlunen, of Johnstown, Pa.
The floors were covered with white
linen, and the parlor in which the
wedding took place was handsomely
decorated with potted plants and flow
ers. Extending from either side Of the
door to the opposite side OF the
apartment, white ribbons were stretch
ed by the ushers, forming an aisle
through which the bridal party walked.
One side Of the room was occupied by
the relatives, and the opposite side
by the guests. The guests were re-
ceived by Mr.. Arthur Bates Butler and
Mr.. William Il. Turner.
The Rev. James l.. Reed, of Pitts
burg, officiated, and the Presbyterian
service was used, during which Prof.
Killmeyer rendered the Loheugrin
march. Mr.. Howard Carothers, a
brother of the groom, was best man,
and Miss Jessie Bates Turner, sister
Of the bride, maid Of honor. Miss Tur-
ner was attired in becoming costume

roses. The bride was arrayed in a
magnificent costume of ivory crepe de
chene with full train, round neck and
elbow sleeves. 1t was TRAINED with
nounces Of pearl embroidered crepe.
Slippers and gloves or the same shade
were worn by the bride, and she car
ried a bunch Of roses. At the conclu-
sion of the ceremony the Mendelssohn
march was played, and the party re-
tired, after which a reception was held.
Refreshments of most tempting
nature were served in the dining-room
by burst, first of all the BRIDES cake
being cut.
The presents received by the happy
pair were of unusually excellent, and re-
presented value and usefulness. They
were greatly admired by all who saw
them. They left on the $50 b. & o.
train for an Eastern bridal tour of sew
eral weeks, and, upon their return will
reside at the home OF the grOom's moth
er on Fourteenth street.
