TaylOr-Coates.

One of the most brilliant events Of
the season was the wedding of Mr..
William J. Taylor, formerly of Smyrna,
to Miss Florence Irene Coates. daugh-
ter of Mr.. Edwin Coates, of Philadel
phia.
The wedding took place at the resi-
dence ofthe brides parents, 1882 Brown
street Promptly at O. O'clock, p. m, the
doors were thrown open and the bride
and groom, preceded by the brides
maids and groomsmen, entered.
Miss Swartz and Miss Parker acted
as bridesmaids and Mr.. Louis Weber
and Mr.. Alvin Taylor, brother of the
groom, acted as groomsmen. The
bride and groom took their places
under an arch of evergreen and roses
where the officiating minister, Rev. F.
Z. Williams, pronounced them man
and wife.
The bride was beautifully attred in
cream silk en- train and carried hand
some boquet of white carnations. The
groom and groomsmen wore the con
ventiOnal black; the bridesmaids were
attired in white.
After the ceremony was performed
the bridal party proceeded to the dining
room where the table was filled with
all of the delicacies Of the season. They
then adjourned to the drawing-room
where they received the congratula-
tiOns of their many friends from eight
till ten. The presents were both
handsome and numerous.
Among those present were Mr..
Edwin Coates and family, Mr.. Winfield
Whiteman, DIR. Parker, wife, son and
daughter; Mr.. Swartz, wife, son and
daughter; Mrs. Schaply and daughter,

Qonovan-YOung.

James r. Donovan, assistant train dis
patcher at Clayton, and Miss Mary l..
Young, of that town, were united in
marriage at the residence of the bride,
on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, by
the Rev. A. Donovan, brother of the
groom, assisted by Rev. G.. F. Earring.
Edward Dawson, of Dover, and Mr..
Only, acted as ushers.
The wedding was attended by 20 or
80 guests. After the ceremony the
guests were invited to a collation. in an
adjoining room. The bride was the
recipient of a number of handsome
presents. They left on the o'clock
train for Niagara Falls.
The usual fun making proclivity
was INDUCED in by his associates Of
the railroad offices. The bride and
groom reached the depot at the sched-
ule time, but the train was late, which
gave the boys" an opportunity to
Improve the time" The baggage was
entrusted to the care of others, and
properly placed at the depot, but in
stead of going in the unadorned way
Of other receptacles, the satche was
nicely trimmed with white bows and
enclosing it so as to show at the side
and ends a printed ribbon, bearing in
bold letters the following: me and
Name have just been married. We
are on our wedding trip, bound for the
Falls"
The young gentlemen and ladies
were enjoying it with a great deal OF
hilarity, when a friend whispered in
the grOom's ear what had been done.
The latter went and tore it off amidst
an outburst from the crowd. Before
they had boarded the train, however,
the trunk was wrapped by the young
men with some ten yards of ribhou,
some of the young ladies driving in
tacks so it could not be easily torn off.
Pounds Of rice were thrown at them on
their departure.

The Scarcity of Preserved Fruit Dur
ino fha COminor Winter


A more disastrous season for pre-
serving and picking than the present
one cannot be remembered by the
peach crop proved a failure but
now it is feared that the recent cold
nights have killed the cucumber vines,
and if not entirely stopped very much
impeded the growth of cucumbers.
At any rate they are very high in the
city market just as everything else has
been this year. In consequence the
aciduOus dainties which are found in
most well regulated households, will
be scarcer than usual. Ordinary Gu
cumbers have been bringing rs cents
and $1.00 a basket and the small varie-
ty has commanded from 81 80 to $3.50
per basket.
Although peaches were scarce some
Wilmington housewives from force of
habit, perhaps, says the Wilmington
Star, could not refrain from preserving
a few. There will not be such a fam
| inc of preserved peaches as one might
imagine, however, because last years
crop was so bountiful and so many
peaches were put up in jars, that there
is fair surplus to draw on for the
coming winter.
Bartlett pears were plentiful and
more of them were preserved than
usual. Plums are rather scarce aud
high. Tomatoes in some form or
other, are being put up very largely
and of all the vegetables that are
usually picked are being put up more
extensively than usual.
From the fact that little preserving
or picking was done, but a few jart
were sold in the local market. Last
year it is estimated that ten car loads
of preserving jars, aggregating about
10000 jars were sold in Wilmington
This is, at least, three times the usual
consumption. This year not one-tentt
of that number has been sold here
although the demand equalled expec
tatiOns, which were at low ebb, or
account of the failure of the peacl
crop. The Mason jar, which is tn,
favOrte here, dropped in price from
81 90 per dozen, the maximum last sea
son, to 80 cents per dozen, the prevail
price now. What was saved in fru
last year was spent in jars, while th
year what is saved on jars is spent OF
fruit and sugar, which have both in
creased in price.

Madam Willard.

As material things like DR.. Holmes
Star of Bethlehem, found after
years of absence, in the old garden,
hold down our hearts to our homes" >"
the presence of those in the commun-
ity whom we have known from early
childhood, is among the "innumerable
fibres" strengthening local attachment
and binding us to home. 1t was with
sadness, therefore, as the w. G. II. U.
met in Mrs. l.. NJ. Prices parlor last
evening, for the Memorial Service of
Madam Willard, that we recalled the
names OF four aged members of our
Union, who within the year, have
crossed over to the other side" The
service, led by Mrs. Matlack, was a
study Of Madam Wizards character,
several ladies taking part in the read
ing Ofarticles from the Union Signal
portraying her remarkable life of more
than 81 years. The verses marked in
her bible, many of them from St. John,
were also read, and the hymns she
loved, among them "HOw Firm a
Foundation" were sung with the ac-
compartment of the sweet tones of the
piano, each one present seeming to
catch the inspiration of her beautiful,
heroic life, our thoughts going out in
loving sympathy to the motherless
daughter, our national leader, who
though bewildered as she says, by the
greatest bereavement of her life, is vet
borne up by the mightiest hopes"

The late mill" between Sullivan
and Corbett at New Orleans was an
object lesson to American citizens
manifest ng as it did the wide spread
inter est in a contest of mere brute
force in the midst of the most demoral-
izing circumstances. 1t is thus sue
cintly described by one of our national
writers:
A bowling mob, paying fifteen,
twenty, and twenty-five dollars each
for seats, according to location, to see
two men try to beat each other into
insensibility; similar bowling mobs, in
some cases amounting to eight or ten
thousand, gathered about telegraph
and newspaper Offices in all the cities
and many of the towns in the country,
twenty-five and even fifty cents in
small villages charged for admission to
see the returns the cable busy all
night sending news to foreign cOun-
tries; many millions more excited than
they would be over anything pertain
ing to government, education, progress
of science, discovery, philanthropy, or
religion; many thousands of nominal
christians more interested in this news
than they would have been in the in
telligence that nation had turned
from idols to God .4 q day; the press
giving in a single number from eight
to thirteen columns describing the
bloody scenes with as much detail as
the Spanish newspapers give to ac-
counts of bull fight, and a large space
devoted to the accounts for several
days;-this is the picture spread out in
the nineteenth century of the Christian
era This in the United States OF
America, which claims to be the most
intelligent and Christian nation on the
globe The gambling, profaneness,
drunkenness, and RIGHTEOUSNESS Of the
crowds collected in New Orleans. the
betting all over the country, the stim-
ulus given to the miserable business
which will doubtless lead thousands Oi
young men to cherish the hope of be-
coming successful light or heavy
weights, in connection with Other
manifestations of the untamed native
brute in human nature, make the
aspect discOuraging and the prospec
disheartening.

The Peoples Party candidates for
President and Vice President, James
B. Weaver and James G.. Field, have
issued an address ito the people of the
United States," accepting the nomina-
tions rendered them. The address
gives hearty approval of the Peoples
Party platform and assails both the
old parties for still discussing the issues
of the late war and for subserVience to
capitalists and corporations, while the
farmers and planters of the West and
and South and wage-earners every
where are prescribed and maltreated.
The candidates say that in their recent
trip through the South they have
found a serious danger threatening a
free ballot and fair count. They de-
clare that Captain Kolb was elected
Governor of Alabama by 10000 major
ity, but counted out by 10000, while
county tickets throughout the State
were counted out "by the same un-
blushing methods" The candidates
also declare that in the recent election
In Arkansas "at least 10000 of the
qualified voters of the state were de-
prived of the right of suffrage, and
that the returns were utterly inaccur-
ate" They call upon all people who
desire the restoration Of the ballot to

FRANL LEsLIE's WEEKLY, starting
out with the suggestion of writer in
the Forum, the enactment of a law
compelling all political committees to
publish the amount of subscriptions
made to them for campaign purposes,
together with statement of the uses
made of the same, says:
In the nature of the case it is practi-
cally impossible to prevent the use of
money for election purposes. Our own
belief is, that with our election laws as
they now exist, the amount of money
employed in the direct purchase of
votes is comparatively small. The
really great evil is found in the cor
ruption of officers of election, boards
of registry, and other officials who are
intrusted with the protection of the
ballot. If we would provide an effec-
tive remedy for debauchery in elec-
ton methods, we must find q way in
whichto prevent this form of cOrrup-
tiOn. Such a remedy cannot be sup
piled by a law requiring a detailed
statement of expenditures. We must,
III lLC AlSI pluCCs CAONdlO luO CA4cA elCbOA
of the officials who are charged with
the duties named. We must compel,
by suitable penalties, the faithful dis
charge of the duties devolved upon
them. Our courts must enforce, rig
idly and pitilessly, the penal provis-
ions of our statement from political
committees as to their subscriptions
and expenses, so long as grand juries
fail to indict, and petit juries to con-
vict, officials who, from any considera-
tion whatever, corrupt or otherwise
tamper with the register, permit illegal
voting, and combine to make false re-
turns. In the last analysis, what is
needed is a more robust and vigorous
public sentiment as to this whole mat
ter of official delinquency in our elec
tiOns, and a more inAexible admins
tration of all the laws relating to the
exercise and protection of the ballot.
