that the offer was refused and then the

THE NEW CONGRESS-.
In The mem bersbip Of the riftv.

In the bersbip OF the Fifty
sbird Congress, there are some cur
ious features. The great manufac-
turing cities OF the United States,

are represented almost exclusively
by Democrats, New York, Brook
iyn, Boston, Baltimore, New
Orleans, Detroit, Kansas City,
indianapolis, Jersey City, Hart
ford, Louisville, New Haven, New
ark and Milwaukee are represented
exclusively by Democrats. OF four
Representatives from Chicago three
are Democrats. In several of the
new States which were admitted to
promote the Republican party the
Republicans are without represen-
tation. In the Southern States,
also, the Republicans are almost
unrepresented. or the one hun
dred and one Representatives of
the thirteen States South of Mason
and Dixon's line there are but five
Republicans, and the seat of one of
them is contested. Nine Southern
States are without Republican Rep
resentatiyes. The Republican Con-
gressmen come almost exclusively
from the rural population of the
North and Northwest, where PEN
sions and pension laws are controll-
ing issues.
In the Senate there are forty-five
Ia bare majority Democrats, thir-
ty-eight Republicans, three popu-
lists and two seats in doubt. In
the House there are two hundred

eight Populists, and two vacancies.

WEDDING BELLS.

Another very sly wedding took
place in Kingwood last night, and
as we promised last week, we will
give our readers the particulars.
The marriage was that of Mr.. Frank
Elmer Hackley and Miss Lilly Pur-
cell, daughter of the late George
Purcell, of FelIowsville. The cere-
mony took place at the residence of
DIR. S. A. Pratt and was performed
by Rev. M. w. Rider at s p. NJ.
Only very few guests were present,
as the wedding was a very quic t one
and only determined on few
days ago. 1t was set for October,
but as the groom had his house fur.
nished and everything ready for the
bride, they concluded to 20 to
housekeeping at once, and did.
After the ceremony refreshments
were served, and about $3.50 the
happy couple repaired to their own
home and took possession and went
to keeping house in less than two
hours after being married. That's
sensible and business like, and we
commend the plan to others. The
bride was dressed in beautiful
dress of white Alabatros silk, trim
med in lace, and looked very Charm
ing, and the groom in the conven.
tional black, look very genteel and
gallant. lie is one our most enter
prlsing and popular young business
men, and we extend congratula-
tions.
