IN A GARLAND DECKED ROOM.
Mr. oliver It. Bacon Welded Miss
SaIIie SheIIman.

A quiet but very lovely home wedding
was that of Mr.. Oliver T. Bacon and Miss
Sallie Shellman, which was solemnized last
night at s clock. Rev. w. A. Nsbet of the
Second Presbyterian church performed the
ceremony, which was witnessed only by
the members of the two families.
The residence of Mrs. William F. She'll
man on Gwinnett street was attractively
decorated for the occasion, and made
springlike with wealth of flowers. Roses
were banked on the mantels and on either
side of the prie-dieu erected for the occa-
sion, were tall palms ianked by pots of
beautiful Easter lilies
The bride and groom were preceded by
two little pages, Master Albert Nichols
and Master Feay Shellman, looking very
handsome in their Knickerbockers and fun
white blouses. Miss Willy Shellman fol-
lowed them, acting as a maid-of-
honor. She wore gown of
accordion pleated white silk and carried
a cluster of Easter lilies. These flowers
seemed typical of the slender graceful
bride, who followed with the groom.
White mousselaine de sole over taffeta
was the simple but lovely gown worn by
Miss Shellman, and her bouquet was of
NephitoS roses.
After the ceremony, when the congrat-
ulations and good wishes had been re-
ceived. the young couple left via the Cen
trail railroad for Atlanta. On their re-
turn from their bridal tour they will live
with Mrs. William f. Shellman at No. 1903
Gwinnett street. east.
Mr.. Bacon is "a son of Mr.. A. S. Bacon
with whom he is connected in the lumber
business, and is highly thought Of by a
host of friends.
The bride, who is the third daughter of
the late Maj. William f. Shelman, is
attractive in many ways, and both young
people deserve the many good wishes
which follow them.

OFFICIAL DUTIES PUT ASIDE.
Interstate Commerce Commissioners
Entertained.

The members of the interstate commerce
commission left yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock for Jacksonville. where they will
spend to-day.
Before their departure the commissioners
were given an opportunity to form some
idea of the commercial advantages of Sa-
vannah. An invitation of Mayor Mel
drim for a trip on the river was accepted.
The party left the exchange wharf at 10
o'clock on the city tug Theckla. run
was first taken along the wharves after
which a trip was made to Tybee and back,
arriving at the city at 2 o'clock. The par
~ did not stop at quarantine, as the COM
missioners did not wish to run the risk of
missing the Florida train.
Besides the commissioners and their sec
rotary, Col Mosely, the party consisted
of Mayor Meldrim, Alderman Charlton,
Commissioner Purse. w. W. Gordon, Jr.,
Esq, and several others. After returning
to the city the party visited the city ex-
change and was shown through the build
ing Among other objects of interest the
handsome picture of Gen. Robert e. Lee,
painted by Elder of Virginia, was shown.
The members of the commission stated
opportunity of viewing SaVannah's water
front as il gave them a better idea Of the
facilities afforded here for business. They
also expressed their pleasure at the hospi-
table treatment they had received here.
They were assured that this pleasure was
reciprocal and that Savannah would be
glad to welcome them at any time.
For a body possessing the important
powers vested in the interstate commerce
commission, its members are exceedingly
unassuming in manner and appearance
There is no fuss and feathers about the
commission. Its sessions are conducted

secretary of the commission, will be
