a very pleasant reception was held and
Mr.. and Mrs. Afford received the earn
est wishes Of a large number OF friends.
A fine wedding dinner was served, and
several hours were passed in delightful
way by the forty or more guests that were
in attendance. The display of bridal gifts
was very fine one and testified to the es-
TEEN in which the newly-married couple
are held.
At 11:15 O'Clock last night there was q
fire in the tenement Of Abe Licker, 48
Webster street Carelessly the parents
left some matches where a child could
get them and the youngster set fire to
mattress on which two children were
sleeping. The parents were fortunately
awakened by the cries OF surprise from
the little one that had done the mischief
when it saw the blaze. The smoke in a
few seconds filled the tenements and Ii
was with difficulty the children sleeping
on the mattress were awakened and that
article taken out on to the street. No
damage was done except the destruction
OF the mattress, the market value OF
which few minutes before the accident
was 30 cents. The consequence OF the
child's thoughtless act came very near be-
ing pretty serious. John Rubin owned
the house.

o. U. W, are very happy over the selec-
tion OF two OF its most earnest workers
by the 6rund lodge, at IT'S session In Bos-
ton the present week, to fill important
offices. in the order. The gentlemen so

Young Max Rosenfeld is, unless some
pesons are regardless of the truth, the
champion fistic artist OF Ambrose street.
He often tries his skill on the young lads
there, but ne did not fight those who are
of his own weight and age, for he has q
penchant for attacking lnds five or six
years younger than himself. The latter
statement is vouched for by the father of
Herman Hessell, who claims his son, aged
13, received bad clubbing early this
morning from Rosenfeld, who is at least
Is years of age, according to the same
authority. This,i is claimed, was not the
first attack made on Herman by the
"Fitz" OF the street, as similar report
was made to the Second Station police au-
thorities yesterday, but unfortunately for
either of the Hessells no one saw the
trouble but the two principals.

was entered some time yesterday and
quantity of lead pipe stolen. Officer Math
ewson found young man named Hugh
Lynch trying to sell the stuff to junk
dealer and arrested him. Two lads who

rest by some rapid sprinting.
The story of the last Armenian mas
sacre reads harsh enough to nearly every
one, but there is horror marked in every
line OF the story for many who reside 1
this part of the city. The last tale read
by one not native of that far away land
to a number who came from there in an
humble bakery on Derry street, last night,
was one that might well be deemed
worthy of master writer. For among
those who gathered TO listen TO the story
whose father, mother, brothers and sis
ters had beea-eFteiiy put TO death last
December by the heartless Turks. Sorrow
and woe and the rain and toll Of life for
most mortals is els 'gh, but such whole
sale butchery almost crushes the hearts of
those, many of whose friends have been
the victims and some of whom have
kindred that the next news from the
oldest of Christian lands may tell have
been added to the list of Moslem murder
ers.
