The marriage took place at noon at
the Lexington hotel, Chicago Rev.
William Swan. of Maryland, a brother
of Mrs, Swans first and her present
husband, was the officiating clergy

Probably none of Mrs. Swans inti-
mate friends knew that the marriage
was going to take place, though it was
known to her mother, Mrs. Peter
Blume and her three sisters, Mrs. w.
w. Ives. who is the wive of DR.. Ives:
Mrs. Edward Ives and Mrs. William
Keiser, all of whom reside in Scranton.
CARDS OF ANNOUNCEMENT.
Cards of announcement We're mailed
in this city last night and will be de-
livered this morning.
Mr.. Swan is engaged in the real es-
tate business in Chicago. None of
Mrs. Swans sisters attended the we'd
ding. She has two brothers who live
in the west, George, at Topeka, Kan,
and Burton, at Chicago.
Mrs Swan is the poor director rep
| resenting the Ninth, Tenth and Seven
| teenth wards. She was appointed by
| Judge Archibald early in 1890 to fill the
| vacancy caused by the death of John
| Stewart. Her husband was the person
named in the petitioners of the dis
trict. but as there developed some op-
| position to him, Judge Archibald ap-
| pointed the wife.
The selection of a woman for so pub
| lie and responsible an office was as SEN
| sational as it was novel, but each fea-
| ture was soon lost sight of when it was
seen with what success and avidity
Mrs. Swan arose to the responsibilities
and intricaces Of the trust.
She was quick to grasp the routine
| and methods of the board and asked no
| favOrs on account of her sex from fell
low members
AN ENERGETIC MEMBER.
When the uneXpired term of Mr..
| Stewart, the deceased member, ended
she was re-appointed. Up to the pres
ent no member of the board has WELD
ed a greater influence than she, and no
one has been more successful in carry
ing out personal ideas. She is "a mem
Der of the important committee of or
ganization, the home committee and of
the committee on wills.
Mrs. Swan and her husband will in
all probability go to the Pacific slope
and remain there until March Mr.
Swan suffered an attack of pneumonia
some time ago and the effect of slope
climate in completely restoring his
health will in a measure decided where
there future residence will be.
close friend of Mrs. Swan said last
night that she will return to this city
in March and serve out her term on the
poor board. She has a little over q
year yet to serve.
