and then their attention was attracted to
two or three ladies who had quietly en-
tered the church and sat down near the
two gentlemen. a minute or so later a
carriage drove up to the church and from
| it alighted Miss Florence Garner Lord
and Lady Middleton and a young
lady who was understood to be
the brides sister, Mrs. Randolph.
The bride walked smilingly toward the
| bridegroom, who advanced to meet her.
| There We're no bridesmaids, but instead
Miss Garner was chaperoned by Lady
| Middleton. Soon after the arrival OF the
| bride and her friends. the Rev. Mr. EYton,
| who was to Ofiiciate atthe marriage service,
emerged from the vestry and the cere-
monies commenced. The first portion of
the service was celebrated at the altar

| bridegroom made the usual responses in
clear and audible voices.
At the conclusion of the services the
| bridal party was conveyed to the
| Middleton mansion and after the wedding
breakfast Sir William Gordon Cumming
| and his bride left London for the Middle
ton county seat of We.laton house, Not
tingham, where they will pass few days

! A!tyre, Sir Williams seat in Scotland,
where they will reside.
! When the verdict was pronounced
against him Sir William Gordon Cum
ming again offered TO cancel his engage
ment TO Miss Garner, but the lady, be-
| lieving in his innocence, would not hear
of such a thing, and insisted that the
marriage should take place today. 1t is
expected that Sir William and his wife
will visit the United States in the autumn.
| Lady Gordon Cumming is the eldest
| daughter of the late Commodore William
Garner Of New York, who was drowned
in July 1876 with his wife. through the
capsizing OF Mr.. Gamers yacht Mohawk.

their proposed visit to the United States

LONDON June 1.-The fact that in his
examination in the Cumming case, the
prince was not asked whether he dlvulged
the secret of the precis while all tho
other parties to tn affair were questioned
on that point is taken as con-
firmation of the rumor that the
secret did actually owe its publicity to the
carless tongue of his royal highness. The
| fact is that the prince contided the mOrsel
| of gossip to Lady Brooke, who in turn re-
vealed it to q friend of hers, who hap
pened to have been scorned by Sir
William Gordon Cumming and who at
once saw in this episode an opportunity
for her revenge.
Sir William Gordon Cummings has
written a letter to Nottin CHAM newspa-
| per in which he says: 81 am OF the opiL-
ion that, but for the gross partially shown
! by the lord chief Justice in summing up,
the case would have gone very diff
! terently."
Several radical members OF the house
OF commons have met and decided to put
n series of questions to the government
bearing upon the responsibility which the
! Tranby Croft party incurred in concealing
| Sir William Gordon Cummings offence
and the question of military discipline in
| volved. If the replies are unsatisfactory
they will move an adjournment.
| 1t is understood that the liberal lead
ers will hold aloof from the contemplated
censure OF the prince of Wales.
LONDON, June 1.-THE municipal au-
| tEorities in the vicinity of Sir William
| Gordon Cummings home have decided
to extend festive welcome to Sir William
on Saturday on the occasion of his return
home with his bride.
| LONDON, June 12.-lt is understood that
the prince of Wales is keenly stung at the
adverse criticisms which have been show
cred upon him from all quarters. Es-
pecially is this the case in regard to the
newspaper comments which practically
accuse him OF revealing the secret of the
Tranby Croft scandal, and referring to the
fact that he was not asked if he had
spoken OF the affair to anybody after Sir
| William Gordon Cumming signed the in
eliminating document, while this question
was put to all the other witnesses for the
defendants. The prince of Wales en-
phatically denies that he divulged the Sc
cret to anybody.
