by wedding dinner was given.
There was a large crowd around the
church, which kept gathering after the
bridal party had entered the church.
Captain Steinkemp and seventy-five
men kept the avenue clear for car
riages. There was no block or unusual
rush at any time.

The bride Of today is a beautiful wo-
man and in the prime of life. She is the
daughter of Russell T. Lord. who was
general superintendent and chief en-
gineer of the Delaware and Hudson
Canal company, and who died during
the war. In 1881 she was married to
Benjamin Z. Dimmick, son of Samuel
+. Dimmick, eX-attorney general of
Pennsylvania and one of the most
prominent lawyers of the state. Three
months after his marriage, however,
Mr.. Dimmick died Of typhoid fever. For
years his widOw-who was left with an
ample estate-was heaTtbroken and it
was not until the illness of Mrs. Harri-
son during the closing months of the
presidents administration. that she
again appeared in public. During that
sOrrowful period and after the death of
the first lady of the land, she did the
honors of the White House, and it was
at this time that the romance that Gull
minated today had its beginning.
EX-President Harrison is 63 years of
age, or some twenty-eight years the
senior of his second wife.
