The Bartender On His Muscle.
A good-sized row occurred last evening
at Roberge's saloon on Sylvan street, ac-
cording to the story told by Joseph
Schmidle. Schmidle said in his complaint
to Sergt. Louks, that there were some
women drinking in Roberge's saloon last
evening, and the bartender claimed that
| he, Schmidle, insultsd them. One word
led to another and the bartender used
Schmidle in rather rough way, finally
landing him in the street in not very po-
| lite manner. The case will be aired in the
courts as Schmidie intends to swear out
warrant today against the bartender.
Quiet weddiug.
The marriage nuptials of Miss Mary
Winifred Lewis of this city, and William
w. Monroe of Providence, was celebrated
last evening in a very quiet manner. The
bride is popular young lady, and has the
best wishes of large circle of acquaint-
ances upon her marriage to Mr.. Monroe.
The ceremony took place at the residence
of Mr.. Lysandier Flagg, No.82 Cross street,
where the bride has made her home for
years. Owing to a recent death in Mr..
Monroe's family the affair was confined
strictly to members of both families. Rev.
j. A. Lyons performed the ceremony
which united the happy pair. A wedding
supper was served, after which the bridal
party left for a short visit to Boston. Upon
their return they will continue to make
their home with Mrs. Flagg.
