GRlFFIN-DRENNE EN.
A Popular Young Couple Made Man and Wife in the JonesvIe Wesley
 Chapel.

Last night at Jonesville, a suburban village, Wesley chapel was the scene of beautiful marriage.
 The contracting parties were Miss Cora Drennen of Jonesville and MT Martin Griffin of this city.
 The seating capacity of the church, commodious though it is, failed to ac- oommodate the large concourse of people gathered there to witness the ceremony. and thus the great popularity of the young couple was attested
 The church was handsomely decora ted with palms and other evergreens, tastily arranged.
 Promptly at 8:30 o'clock the peal of the organ announced the arrival of the bri- dal party, and as the familiar and in- spring notes of Mendelssohn's, that grandest of all wedding marches, broke gracefully and entrancingly upon the ears of those assembled. they entered and proceeded up either aisle in the fol- lowing order: The ushers, Messrs. Flu gene A. Ware and w. A. Montgomery. passed up the right aisle, and up the left the maid of honor, Miss Lille Drennen cousin to the bride. She carried the reg uation maids bouquet of la France roses and was beautiful in handsome crea- tion of white silk
 Then up the right aisle came the hand some groom attended by Mir. George Key holds, his best man, while from up the left came the bride leaning upon the arm of her uncle, MT. Mel Drennen. She was indeed a vision of loveliness. Possessing as she does rare personal charms, her natural beauty was greatly enhanced by the superb gown in which she was ar rayed. It was 8 loVely~creation of bro- caded satin, Marie Antoinette style, hand some train, front trimmed with lilies of the valley and roses, with elegant garni- ture of pearls. She carried an exquisite bouquet of brides roses
 At the altal the ceremony was per formed and the marriage VOWS impress sively administered by Rev. Joseph H. Mccoy, formerly pastor of Wesley chapel.
 To Mendelssohn's march the happy young couple passed down the aisle man and wife.
 While entering the carriage they re- ceived the congra atons and best wish es of scores of friends.
 The bride Is the daughter of Mrs. M. l.. Drennen of Jonesvllle and was a favorite in the circle in which she moved. She possesses many of those rare attributes which go to make womanhood ideal.
 The groom Is bookkeeper for Louis Salls and is classed among the prominent business men of the city.

A Presidential Reception.

Washington, Jan. 9-The first of the official presidential receptions for the present season was held at the White House tonight from Q to II o'clock It was given in honor of the diplomatic corps and is always the most brilliant of the annual series. The president and Mrs Cleveland and the ladies of the families of the members of the cabinet composed the receiving party and stood in the oval-shaped blue room, which was tastefully decorated with foliage, plants and cut flowers Most of the members of the diplomatic corps present and the ladies who accompanied them went be- hind the receiving line after they had paid their respects to MT. and Mrs. Cleveland and the other members of the receiving party. The great variety in the uniforms of the representatives of the foreign governments and the display of gold lace and jewels and decorations made a dazzling spectacle. A number of the officers of the army and navy were also present in uniform. All the cabinet members were in evidence, as were a goodly representation from the senate and the house.

Germany Seems Determined.

Berlin, Jan. 9.-The reichstag resumed it's sitting today after the holiday recess. Freiherr Won Berlepsch made a brief speech introducing the government bill to prevent illegal transactions on the German BoerS.
 It was stated in the Hobbies of the reich stag that Baron Marsohall Von Bieber- stein, minister of foreign affairs, es- pecally begged the members of the chamber to abstain from interpellating the government upon the Transvaal question in any form
 In the course of the debate on the Boers bill Count Kanitz-Podangew con- servative said that the attitude which the government had recently assumed in defense of German Interests abroad had met with universal approval. This ut terance was greeted with prolonged ap- plause. t

WILL TAKE ALL OR NOTHING.
The Syndicate Wants the Entire Issue of
 Bonds

The syndicate Wants the Entire Issue of
 Bonds.
 New York, Jan. 9.-From subscrib- ing member of the J. Pierpont Morgan bond syndicate the following facts have been obtained:
 The syndicate expects to secure the en- tire $100,000,000 per cent bonds which are to be sold by the treasury on Feb ruary 5. MT. Morgan will bid for the en- tire issue and expects to be awarded the entire 00,000, 900. It, will take all or none. The reason for Mr. %Morgan's confidence of entire success is that he will make an offer so advantageous that no other proposition can stand in his way.
 This offer is to purchase the entire $10O, 900, paying principal and pre- mium in gold and in addition furnishing an amount in gold equal to one-third of the issue, or $33, ,53S, 333.33 in exchange for greenbacks. The government gold reserve will thus not only be brought up to the recognized limit, but will have a large surplus for its protection. The price which the syndicate will offer is not exactly known by any one beside MT. Morgan. It will be considerably more than the 1041a paid last February. This low premium was paid because of the provision in the contract compelling the syndicate to protect the treasury req serve. No such contract will be made this time, therefore a higher price will be paid. The figure is, believed to be 10S. The syndicate is now accumulating gold from every available source
 Members of the syndicate will be at liberty to make individual bids beside the syndicate bid. This is the state of affairs today. The position will probably hold until February without any change of important details. The presi- dent and secretary of the treasury have no agreement, private or public, with the syndicate. They know, however, what are Mir Morgans intentions and knew it when the public call was issued.

ALL RECORDS BROKEN.
The Sum of $i61, 1,59093 Paid to the Tax Collector in December to Ayod
 the 8 Per Cent Penalty

The good effects of the law placing a penalty of 8 per cent interest on all de- linquent taxes are being freely demon- strated.
 Taxes for the year 1895 were due on the 18th of last October, and if unpaid on the 1st of January of the present year they became delinquent and liable to 8 per cent interest.
 This new law has proven to be decided ly the best method ever used. It has forced corporations and large property owners to come forward and pay with a degree of promptness never before known.
 Tax Collector R. G. Hewitt makes a statement that shows his collections for the month of December to be over 100 per cent more than ever before for a sim gle month.
 MT. Hewett says the city people gener- ally seem to recognize and appreciate the advantages and good derived from the special school tax imposed by the re- cent passage in the state legislature of the O'Brien bill, which provides for this special tax, and pay 1t without complain ing.
 The total amount of taxes collected during the month of December was $751; 590 93. Divided and placed under their proper heads they stand as follows:
