Cumming was married this morning in the
Holy Trinity Church at Chelsea to Miss
Florence Garner, daughter of the late Com
modore William Garner of New York City.
Only thirteen people were present. The
marriage was practically q secret marriage.
Sir William was prOud-lookinZ, cool and en-
tirely self-possessed. There was no trace in
his personal appearance Of depression or
emotion resulting from yesterdays verdict.
The lady and Sir William Gordon Cumming
left this city shortly after the ceremony for
the bTidegroom's estate, Altyre. near Forres,
in Scotland, where they will spend their
honeymoon.
THE CEREMONY IN CHURCH.
There were exactly thirteen people in the
church when the BarOnet led Miss Garner
before the altar to make her his wife,
and some of these were workmen re-
pairing the big organ, who kept up
hammering throughout the ceremony,
neither knowing nor caring anything about
the temporary public interest in the people
gathered around them. Six persons came
with the wedding party, including Cord on
Cummings sister and Miss Garner's aunt,
with Lord Vernon. This accounts for eleven
persons. Tie twelfth man was the sexton,
who did not know until the ceremony was
half over who the couple were who were get
ting married. The thirteenth was the
Worlds New York CORES pOndent The
service occupied less than five minutes and
was performed 10y third-Tate rector, whom
neither party ever saw before in their lives.
There were no music, flowers or friends,
yet despite all this Miss Garner looked not
only cheerful but even Tadantly happy.
She marched out of the church on her huS-
bands arm. She was dressed in q pearl
gray walking salt, with nat to match just
as If out for mornings shopping. Sir Cor
don Cumming was aCTayed as though going
To the Ascot races, not the slightest thing
about his appearance indicating the bride
groom.
The bride and bridegroom, after the cere-
mony, bTeakfas ted with LORD Middleton, Sir
William Gordon Cummings brother-in-law.
Sir William attributes the verdict entirely
70 the summing up and the charge OF the
Lord Chief Justice. Sir William has re-
ceiyed over seventy letters expressing SYM
pathy with him in his troubles.

lam Gordon Cumming and his wife VII

autumn.

The denunciation of the Prince of Wales
by the newspaper press, especially his
denunclation by the Tory press. has
caused a terrible sensation throughout
Great Britain, ami It iS freely asserted that
the revelations made during the trial Of the
barracat scandal suit in court afe Judged to
than any event y hich has taken place for
many years past in England. The fat as

effect that until the Prince Of Wai-s, on

pledge he gave to Sir William Gordon Cum

lmpGtatlOn oil dIshUnOr quite as shameful a.

The Star to-day, under the healing Roy
atty at Stake" says the Prince Of Wales
is the male head OF his race. The women OF
his house are VrtuOus, Self-restraiued and
reliant. The English people throughout
the world want the men 20 be more like the
women Of this royal line, aud adds: This
proud country aud the man who aspiTes To
represent Eugli5bmen must keep every
thing about him fresh and bright, aud must
be exceedingly jealous Ot his reputation, and
must not be known aS q baccarat banker
and as specialist IN gaming counters"
THE QUEEN MUCH DIsPLEAsED.
A pTecis Of the court proceedings was
telegraphed each nj Eht TO the Queen, who is
now at BamOIal Castle IN Scotland, and her
Majesty IS said TO have expressed her dis
pleasure in such strong terms that the
Truth Of this city asserts it would not be
surprised if the Court Of Queens Bench
revelations were the cause Of the + ri uf
Coventry resigning his Office of Master of
y
the Royal hunt of her Maj'sty's household,
for which Office the Earl draws an annual
salary Of $500. The Queen does not at
tempt to conceal the fact that she is angry
with every one connected with the 0accarat
scandal and the effect of her royal dis
pleasure may yet be felt in Sc veral quarters.
At Ascot yesterday the Prince OF Wales
was yisIbly nervous until after he received
dispatch announcing the Wilson's victory.
SO soon as he was in possession OF the re-
suit Of the jury's deliberations, the Prince
took no pains to conceal the pleasure he felt
al the result Of the verdict.
MINISTER'S DENoUECE THE PRINCE.
At the Primitive Methodist Conference,
now being held at Northampton, several
speakers denJuEced the Prince Of Wales
for the share be took in the baccarat scandal.
In addition, some Of the speakers urged
that the Prince of Wales should not be al
lowed 10 succeed to the throne unless he
abandons gambling. The conference will
consider tomorrow some resolutions upon
this subject, which will be presented to It.
The Baptist Conference IN Todm0Tden,
Lancaster County, has sent memorial to
the private secretary of the Prince Of Wales
praying that the Prince, in view OF the
misery and ruin in the country due to the
prevalence Of gambling, shall IN future de-
cline to engage In II, or to countenance
gambling IN any form.
The Baptist Conference at Ha' a'tings sent
. memorial TO Sir Francis KnOlyS similar
to the one sent by the TodmOrden Confer
ence, and expressed the deepest regret that
the future King Of England ever INDUCED
IN gambling.
