j. Emory Eaton WEEDS Miss Sue Greider
Mt NIT. Joy, PA.
Tho Daily Examiner of Lancaster,
Pa, gives the following account of the
marriage OF Miss Sue Greider and J.
Emory Eaton, we'll known in Roanoke,
which occurred Tuesday:
One of the most notable social events
that has been known in Mt. JOY, in
years, took place at high noon to-day,
when Miss Sue Greider, daughter of ex-
Chief Burgess b. NJ Greider, and sister
of Mrs. Steve j. Owens, of this city, was
united in marriage to Mr.. j Emory
Eaton, prominent citizen of Utica,
New York. A thousand invitations had
been issued, and, although good many
of them went to distant places, and the
recipients could not be present, tho at
tendance was immense.
The ceremony took place at the resi-
dence OF the brides father, under an
arch between the parlors, the arch hav-
ing been profusely decorated with
flowers and evergreens. Indeed the en-
tlro house WAS decorated with smilax
and flowers, rejecting not a little credit
on tho artistic taste OF Mr.. Harry A.
Schroyer.
The best man was DR.. j.. p. Ziegler,
of Mt. Joy, and Miss Helen Hoifer, of
Philadelphia was maid of honor. The
ushers were Messrs. III. and BENZ. l..
Greider (brothers of the bride), of Roam
oke, Va, and Mr.. Steve j. Owens, of
Lancaster.
A reception was given from / to 4.
o'clock, during which Prof. Haas. of
Lancaster, presided over the music.
Caterer Payne served the banquet,
which was an elaborate and elegant af-
fair, and the bridal gifts were of such
number and quality as to constitute a
storehouse of treasures
The groom and his friends passed
through Lancaster on a special car at
tached to the Niagara at 1888 this
morning, and the same car, attached to
Day Express, brought the guests from
this city back to Lancastesat 4:45 this
afternoon, and carried the bride and
groom to the East, where they will
spend their honeymoon.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-[Special-
Judge Bischoff in the court common
pleas this morning denied tho motion of
the Gold & Stock Telegraph Company
to punish for contempt the president of
the New York Stock Exchange for re-
fusing to obey the order OF the court di-
recting the exchange not to intefere
with the service of stock quotations to

posed to see that the young man was
released on bond. Not being able to
find Mayor Evans, he went to Justice

MIR. CHALMERS, CONDITION.
He Was Resting Quietly Early TIL
Morning.

Morning.
There was but little char GO yesterday
in the condition OF John Chalmers.
During largo part OF the day his suf-
fering was intense, often throwing him
into commissions, and much of the time
two nurses were required to keep him
in bed.
Towards evening his great pain had
ceased, and last night he rested quietly,
sleeping most OF the night. His pulse
was moro regular, indicating that his
heart trouble was not quite so aggra-
waited as 1t has been for several days.
Dr.. Buckner, who has been by the
bedside of his patient almost constantly
for several days, went to bed about
O'Clock leaving instructions to be
aroused II there was any indication OF
change. At this writing Mr.. Chal-
mers' condition has been so favorable
that those who are watching at his bed
side have considered the attentio of
the physician as unnecessary. Mayor
Evans, his partner in business, was
with him much of the day and every
thing is being done that is possible for
man to do to aid the sick man in his
desperate struggles for his life. Several
times all hope has been abandoned, but
his friends think that if he keeps a
hold on his life for few days longer
he may yet recover.
