ter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Whipple, and
granddaughter of the late ex-Gov. Swami
OF Marylaud. and Benjamin Weaver, son
OF John q. Weaver, owner Of the Ocean
House in this city aud landlord of the
Everett House in New York, were mar
rled yesterday at the Swami villa on the
Cliffs by the Rev. Il. H. Porter The
couple stood in floral decorated cove in
the picture gallery.
The bride was given away by her father,
and she was dressed in a moire SILK
gown. en- train, and trimmed with pearls.
The veil was fastened with pin OF dia-
monds and pearls, the gift OF the groom,
and she carried n bouquet OF lilies of the
valley. The bridesmaids were Miss Helen
Gammell aud Miss Sallie Smith of Provi-
dence who wore mauve silk with high
puff sleeves. and their bouquets were
white roses intermingled with ferns. The
best man was Bansel LaFarge, son of
John LaFarge, the artist. The house
was prettily decorated with howers,
palms and plants. The presents filled
one large room. and no bride could wish
for larger collection of silver.
When, early in the afternoon, after the
reception, the newly married couple mys-
teriously left the house IL was supposed
that they had left town. but such was
not the case. They drove TO their cottage
on Berkeley avenue, adjoininS one owned
by Mrs. Paran Stevens of New York, and

wedding trip later. The terrible storm
was sufficient excuse for this innovation.
