A BRIDGEPORT WEDDING

Married, October IS, ats the home of
the BRIDES parents on Black Rock ave-
nue., Miss Minnie, daughter of D. M. Rey-

tives witnessed the ceremony, which was
performed by Rev Sylvester Clark, the
contracting parties standing beneath an
arch of greens and chrysanthemum
blossoms, in the center of which was a
horse shoe of white, within a lovers
knot Of scarlet carnations. The bride
was lovely in white brocaded satin, with
pearl and lace trimmings, festooned with
lily of the valley. The groom wore the
conventional black dress suit, which set
off to good advantage his fine form and
pleasant face. After congratulations and
refreshments, the bridal party took leave
on the 8 SO p m train for short trip.
They will reside with her parents. The
groom's gift was an elegant diamond
brooch, while the others comprised fur
niture, silverware, pictures, jewelry, etc.
The choir of the Park street church, of
which Mr. Haywood is member, pre-
sented pair of very handsome imported
vases. The occasion was a pleasant one
for all who were present and may the
faces of the youthful pair long wear the
look of happiness that shone forth that
evening.

TRUMBULL.
) George Holmes is seriously i'll

The weekly pledge and envelope sys-
tenn adopted by the Congregational soci-
ETY. has already proved decided sue
cess, although not half or the pledge
cards have been returned. Thus far, it is
evident that no one can make mistake
in placing the utmost confidence in the
system. If the hearty and generous CO.
operation which it has already sustained
continues, the results cannot fail in graf
flying the highest expectations. 1T is SIM
pie, practical, effective and, above all,
Scriptural. But here, as always,i must
be urged that there be no letting up of
personal duty and privilege. Now is the
time to do, if ever. A pleasant feature
of the system is that almost every men,
Der of a family, and even some absent
members, are responding, showing the
growing interest in the welfare of the
church and its plans. Ii those who are
contemplating signing their cards will
do so at once and return, they will
greatly facilitate matters. Those who
have already pledged will receive envel-
opes, this week. O. B. Burton will be in
the church parlors, Sunday morning,
from 10 Is to 10 As and at the close of
the morning service, to give envelopes
and information to any who may desire.
If there are any who have been over
looked, it has not been intentional.
Should there be any, they can obtain
pledge cards any time from OBJ. Burton.

RAILROAD STATION AND
BOBTAIL HORSE CARS.

The patrons of the great Consolidated
road, from all latest rumors, will be COM
PEELED, during the coming Winter months,
to walk up and down under cover OF the
long shed roof across the tracks opposite
the comfortable depot of the Housatonic
company. Well, Bridgeport people have
got used to almost anything and there is
no doubt but they can stand it for sever
al years to come. while the great corpor-
alton quietly sits down and arranges
plans best suited to their own conven-
fence of running trains through this city
and not lose too much patronage or mon
ey. The public must adapt themselves
to the accommodations they see fit to
give. They can and will submit, as they
are now doing with the horse railroad
bobtail cars. Every wet day, you can
see people hanging on to a car, receiving
the water from the roof of the car down
their necks and backs. They cheerfully
hang ON and pass up their nickel to be
dropped in the slot. In short time
they will have two old electric cars alter
ed over into one-horse bobtail and ther
ride after electricity.
