SAU, WISCONSIN.
The Groom Missed the Train i'm This
City and the Ceremony Was POST
poned For a Day--Details of the
Happy Event.

Below we give an account OF the
marriage of Mark G. Ewing of, this
city, and Miss Delaney, Of Wausau,
Wis, taken from the Pilot RevieW of
of that city. In connection with this
event a circumstance occurred that
was not on the program and therefore
quite unexpected. Mr.. Ewing started
for Wausau from this city, and the
morning that he had decided upon
leaving, the Omaha train was reported
twenty minutes late, and the hack
called for him just in time to make
the train on that superstition. But
the train had made up two minutes,
and Mr.. Ewing landed at the depot in
time to see the rear car disappearing.
He was obliged to telegraph his situa-
tion, and have the ceremony post
poned for day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ewing took a trip to
Duluth and the Twin cities, and ar
rived in the city yesterday. They are
nicely settled in the Security block
and will be sat home" March 1st. The
many Mankato friends of the groom
extend them the best wishes for a
long and happy future.
Pilot Revie,o: On Saturday morning,
Feb. 10th, 1895, at the home Of the
brides parents, on Mcclellan street,
occurred the marriage Of Mr.. M. @.
Ewing, of Mankato, MIMI, to Miss
Johannah Delaney, of this city. The
event was to have taken place on the
18th of February, but, owing to the
sickness of Mr.. Ewing, it was post
poned until the above date. The af-
fair was characterized for it's Simpli-
city and perfection in appointment
and detail. The house was hand
somely decorated for the occasion
with cut flowers, potted plants and
evergreens. The ceremony was per-
formed at 9:30 O'Clock, the Rev. Jas
per, of St. Mary's church, officiating.
VIM. Dunn was the grOOm'S best man
whilst Miss Elva Delaney acted in the
capacity of bridesmaid. Only the in
innate friends and relatives of the
contracting parties were present.
After the ceremony, season was
spent in congratulations and social
converse and then those assembled |
sat nOWn to beautiful wedding re-
past.
M. @. Ewing is travelling salesman
for p. Lorillard & Co., the renowned
tobacco firm, and has occupied that
position for the past four years and
the fact that he has been given the
territory of Minnesota shows in what |
high esteem he is held, This feeling |
is not confined to the firm to p. LOril- |
lard & Co. by any means, but is only |
limited by his acquaintance. Two |
years ago, Mr.. Ewing came to this |
city and arranged to make his head
quarters here. In his travels he had |
found it very convenient to use |
bicycle, and constant riding made |
him a very swift rider especially on
long distances. He took hand in |
the first bicycle meet that took place
in Wausau and won everything in
sight, being in especially fine trim.
His racing suit contained the word |
Climax" and it is safe to say that |
p. Lorillard & Co., after that, were
better known to people of this section !
than any other foreign firm. This was
a species of advertising peculiarly his |
own, which demonstrates that he had |
a good eye for business, and which is
no doubt the key to his excellent sue !
cess as a manipulation for the great |
firm which he represents. Mr.. Ewing
was born and raised in Cleveland,
Ohio, his father being prominent
attorney of that city. During his
stay in Wausau he won hosts of |
friends by his gentlemanly bearing
and pleasant ways.
Johanna Delaney is the fourth
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. p. Delaney
who are old and esteemed residents of |
this city. She was born, raised and
educated in Wausau and is most |
amiable and accomplished young lady
and was decided favorite, especially
with the young people.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ewing departed on the
noon Northwestern passenger. for
Minneapolis, ST. Paul and other points
on tour of a couple of weeks, after
which they go to Mankato, MINI.
where they will reside in the future
and in which place Mr.. Ewing has a
costly furnished home already for
them to enter and go to housekeeping.

friends in wishing them life of pros
