Pierre. Feb. 1s.-By "A combination or
republicans and the stalwart friends OF

They have feared for some time that
some republican votes would go to Kyle
but the avalanche was not expected to-
day and when the republican members
changed their vote to Kyle. which t'ey
all did, with but a single exception there
was CONSERVATION in the opposing
ramp. All kinds Of parliamentary tao
tics were resorted TO to break the FORCE
OF the blow, but IL was OF no avail. The
65. votes for Kyle against SO votes for all
others told the story that the agony was
over: that Kyle's opponents had met
with defeat, and that the senator would
return to the desk at the national cap
ital a veritable free lance wearing the
shackles Of no party and owing but very
little to the party he did 40 much TO put
In power In his state. Politically the
result OF the election will make no ma
terlal difference, as during the election
1t was tacitly understood that should
win Kyle would be elected. the
only difference being that the fusion
did elect him was not contemplate

There has been some question
here of late as to whether R.
G.. A. Cousins, a member of the
city council free silver) can take
part in the organization of the
new council, in view of the fact
that he did not take out his Sec
ond papers ninety days prior to
the recent election. To deter
mine the exact meaning of the
law regarding the situation. a
letter was addressed to Attor
ney General Childs, who has
given the following opinion:
The effect Of the adoption of
the amendment to the constitu
ton of this state was to disqual-
ify all persons from holding any
public Office within the state
who were not citizens of the
United States. A person occu-
pying public Office at the time
when the said amendment went
into effect became at once SUBJ
ject to removal therefrom by
reason of his. disqualification
in such regard" From this it
will be seen that Mr.. Cousins or
any other man in similar posi-.
tion-one who is not. a citizen
of the United States, is ineligible
to Office. This will change the
situation very decidedly and
will leave the vote in the coun=
Gil seven to seven, and possibly
the republicans will have ma
jority. The chances are that
there will be few, if any, chang
es in the police force under May.

MISS WARD MR. EASTWOOD.

The Congregational church was the
scene of simple but very impressive
and beautiful wedding ceremony on
Wednesday evening, June 80, at 7.30
o'clock. The contracting parties were
Miss Elsie Burr Ward. eldest daughter Of
the late johnson B. and Estella M. Ward,
and Edward A. Eastwood. Theschurch,
which was crowded with friends from
doors to altar, was Hastily decorated With
pink and white roses and the ever beau
tiful wild laurel. At the appointed time
Rev Mr. Aver was escorted to the altar
by one of the ushers. Immediately
afterwards the ever beautiful and
familiar strain of Lohengrin's wedding
chorus pealed forth from the organ, &C
companied by Fred E. Silliman on the
violin and Henry Osborn, vloloncello.
At this moment the bridal party appear
ed. First came four ushers, in full dress,
wearing boutonniers of Ebride roses,

of the bride, who looked charming in a
gown of pink organdie, trimmed with
pink moussiline de sole and pink ribbon
and she carried bouquet of pink carna-
tions. The maid-of-honor was attended
| by Frank Ward, brother of the bride, as
best man. Then came the bride leaning
on the arm of the groom. She was dress
ed becomingly in gown of heavy pure
white silk, cut full length train, the

fastened with gold horse shoe set with
diamonds, a gift of the groom to the
bride, and she carried bouquet of bride
roses tied with white satin ribbon. AS
the closing strain of Lohengrin wedding
march ceased, Rev Mr. Aver in very fit
ting and impressive words addressed the
happy couple, and during the pledgin G
of their vows the beautiful strains OF
"Oh, promiae me" was softly rendered
by the organist, Mrs Osborn, accom-
panied by Fred E. Silliman, violin. This
feature of the ceremony was very beauti-
full and impressive. After the vows were
spoken brief prayer was offered, and
then in few chosen words the couple
were pronounced husband and wife.
Then the strains of "Mendelssohns'
beautiful wedding march reverberated
through the church as the bridal party,
preceded by the bride and groom, slow
Iy passed down the aisle. Soon after
the ceremony the bridal party took car
riages for Bridgeport and thence by train
to their home. Old shoes and best wish
es followed the happy couple as they
left for short wedding tour. On their
return they will reside with the groom'a
parents, Mr. and Mrs E. A. Eastwood, Sr.,
of Grand Park, Mamaroneck, N. Y.
Many valuable and useful gifts were re-
ceived from friends of the bride and
groom.
