SMALLEY---DAVIS
Thanksgiving Wedding at seeley Last
Night.


More than one hundred and fifty guests
crowded the spacious country home of
u. Wllbert Moore, at Seeley, Thursday
night, to witness the welding ceremony
which united in marriage Isaac G. Small
ley, OF Coombs & Smailey, of this city,
and Miss Lydia Davis, neice of the host.
Ii was a pretty wedding, the large
rooms being tastefully decorated with
bright blooming flowers, potted plants
and queenly, nodding chrysanthemums.
Holly, with it's bright red berries was en-
twined about the rooms. In the parlor.
an arch of smilax with ribbons had been
formed, and it was under this that the
young couple plighted their troth, the
solemn, ever beautiful ring ceremony
being Lerformed by Rev. D. J. Camp.
pastor of the Deerfield Presby terian
Church, assisted by Rev. A. J. Snyder, of
this city.
The bride was handsomely dressed in
white and carried bridal roses. The
bridesmaid, Miss Fannie Smalley, sister
at the groom, was dressed in pink. Mr..
Davis, cousin of the bride, was best
man,
When the marriage compact had been
made, Mr. and Mrs. Smalley received the
earnest, sincere congratulations and then
followed most elaborate wedding
supper, exquisitely catered. The menu
was quite elaborate, including meats,
salads, fruit, ice cream and cake:
The remainder of the evening was
spent in delightful social manner, and
the pleasures continued until midnight.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smalley intended to come
to Bridgeton last night and go to their
new residence on Vine street, which had
been exquisitely furnished for their con-
venience, but it was decided later that
they should remain in Seeley until to-
day.
The wedding gifts were very handsome
and numerous, attesting the high regard
in which Mr.. and Mrs. Smalley are held
by their legion of friends.

Harry Mrnyan Walks Into the Mayors
Office Saturday Afternoon.
On Saturday afternoon a young ma.
walked iuto the Mayors Office in this
city and said to Mayor Appelgate, 81 am
Harry Muuyan and want to give myself
up. am tired of being bounded"
Sure enough, it was Harry Munyan, at
one time a resident of this city, but who
had wandered away from here, got into
bad company and become a bad young
MAJ.
Officers have been on the track of young
Munyan ever since last Monday. He is
waited in Medford, N. J. The crime for
which he is wanted was published in the
Philadelphia papers last Tuesday. On
Monday last, Munyan procured double
harrelled shot gun and walked into the
glass company's store and demandedthat
the clerk hand over the money in the
drawyer, which he did. Munyan escaped,
and officers have been looking for him
since.
He talked freely about his escape to the
Mayor, and in telling his story said with
smile that when he pointed the gun at
the clerk, he soon "coughed up the fifteen
plunkers."
Munyan said he had walked from
Elmer Saturday. He was tired of being
chased over the country and thought the
best thing he could do would be to give
himself up. He was placed in the lookup
to await orders from Medford offioars
Mayor Appellate telephoned to Medford
that he had Munyan. and received an
answer to keep him until Monday when
officer Thompson would be down after
him.

out DIR. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, Coughs and Colds. Experi-
mented with many others, but never got

The Mayor Quit the Game Before it
Started.
The advertised scrap between Wilbert
Gross and Thomas Monahan, of Phila
delphia. did not come off. Mayor Appel
gate took a hand in the game, and with
the assistance of Officer Woodruff. the
proposed bout was quietly put to never
ending sleep.
The sports had kept the secret en-
trusted to them pretty quiet, but the
authorities had learned that the set to
was to come off in a stone barn in the
city limits, but they thought that
the better way to handle the whole
thing, was to quit it before it began.
Consequently warrant was issued for
Gross and Monahap, and officers were in
structed to take them in custody, and
they were to be placed under bonds to
keep the peace. Gross was arrested on
South Laurel street and taken to iail.
but Monahan disappeared and could not
be found. tits said he was hustled out
OF town. John Merriman, who was to
manage the affair, disappeared from his
usual haunts, when he learned of Gross,
arrest. The colored fellow kicked pretty
hard over his arrest, but nothing better
could have been done for him. Had the
fight come off, he would undoubtedly
have been badly punished by Monahan
and his share of the money would have
been little enough, and he would have
had to stay here and answer for the in
fraction of the law, while the other re-
sponsible parties would have skipped

A LIVELY CASE.
1t Was Heard Before Esquire Nichols Tues
day Afternoon.

1t Was Heard Before Esquire Nichols Tues
day Afternoon.
George E. Brown, brought suit in
Squire Nichols Court Tuesday after
ternoon against Robert Carman to recover
one hundred dollars, which he claimed
was due him by Carman in business
transaction of some time ago.
The trouble comes out of the case of
Sallle Iunyan and Agnes Katz When
Agnes was arrestedlshe had no one to 90
her bail. George E. Brown was induced
to go her bail, which was $500. 1t seems
that he gave the money to Robert Car
man who became Agnes Katz' bonds
man.
Brown claims that after the case was
over in Court, Carman only paid him
back S400 of the $500 put up, and that
there is yet due him another hundred.
He said he never offered Sl0O. If there
was any bargain made about hundred
dollars, it was made by someone who had
no right to make any such arrangements.
Mr.. Carman claims that Brown came to
him and wanted him to go on Agnes
Katz' bond for $500 bail when she was ar
rested. He did so, and Mr.. Brown laid
down $500 for which he gave him re-
ceipt. He then paid him 500 more for
his trouble. When she was re-arrested,
Carman paid back this $500 to Brown,
but Brown claims he only paid him back
four hundred dollars.
1t seemed that Brown could remember
the $500 he gave Mr.. Carman, but didn't
remember the other money, or at least he
did not want to say so. When Carman
paid Brown back his money he did so in
the presence of William Wicks, at his
store on South Laurel street.
William Wicks was sworn and said he
was present when Carman paid over $500
to Brown.

Over Mr. VanderbiIt's Intention to
Reside in Washington,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The Even
Ing Star says: Society circles are
all fiutter over the prospective resi-
dence In Washington, during the re-
mainder Of the present social season, of
Cornelius Vanderbilt and family, of
New York. Mr.. Vanderbilt's agent has
just leased the Lowery mansion at
the northwest corner Of Vermont aven-
ue and K street, for three months, and
the Vanderbilt's will take possession
early next week. Mr. Vanderbilt will
bring his entire New York household
including cooks and servants and will
also bring twenty horses, six coach
men and four grooms, together with
ten or twelve carriages Of various
styles. 1t Is said that several other
wealthy members Of what is known in
New York as the Vanderbilt set are
looking for houses suitable for enter
tanning purposes, to which the LoWery
mansion is so admirably adapted, and
that others Of the same circle are Sc
curing apartments at the Arlington
and other up town hotels.
The Vanderbilt house will be another
addition to the large establishments Of
Senator Brice, Mr.. L. z. Letter and
Mrs. George Westinghouse, and will be
probably opened with a reception and
dance. The coming of Mr.. Vanderbilt
is taken as an indication of his tnten-
ton to follow the example being gen
eraly given by people Of wealth and
make Washington his regular winter
home.

WISCONSIN MURDERER
Discovered Through a Clue Picked

WAUPUN, Wis, Jan. 27.-Word was
received from Little Rock, Ark, today
from District Attorney Ellsworth, of
Baron county, Wis, that he had ar
rested Edward G. Allen an ex-convict,
who was recently pardoned by Gov.
Upham. He is wanted on a charge Of
having instigated the murder of George
Bromley, near Baron, in November
last. The real murderer Is Thomas
Roso. burglar, now under three
years sentence at Waupun, who has
made full confession. About four years
age Allen killed Albert Van Tassell
for intimacy with his wife. He also
shot his wife, but she recovered. After
Allen had been sent to prison for the
crime, he induced Rosso, who was then
serving term for previous burglary,
to kill Bromley, who had taken up
with his (Allen's) wife after his incar-
ceration at Waupun. Bromley's body
was found on railroad track, near
Rice Lake. The discovery of his watch
at st. Paul opened clue, which led
to Rosso and caused his confession

GLARS HEALTH EXCELLENT.
The Grand Duke, Michael, However,
Is Seriously Ill.

LONDON, Jan. 28.-A dispatch to the
Telegraph, dated at ST. Petersburg,
says: Count Vorontsoff Daschkoff,
minister of the imperial court, author
lied me to affirm in emphatic terms
that the health OF the car is excellent,
and that his majesty receives the gov
eminent reports daily, takes his usual
walks and makes his accustomed visits.
He has in no way changed his routine
Of life during the last few weeks"
Grand Duke Michael is, however, suf-
ferrfng from a serious attack of inflam-
nation of the lungs, according to the
st. Petersburg correspondent of the
Telegraph. His eldest son has been
hastily summoned from the Caucasus
region. The empress dowager pays
daily visits to the grand duke, and it
during his illness.
A dispatch to the Daily News from
Berlin, quoting from the St. Peters
burg letter to the Leipseiger Nachrich-
ten, makes statements which throw ad-
dittonal light upon the troubles Of the
czar. This correspondent says that
the car really suffers from nothing
more than an ordinary boil cOmplicat-
ed with nervous affection due to the
incidents accompanying his accession,
court political struggles and numerous
intrigues. These disputes are osten-
sibly over the financial schemes pro-
posed by NJ de White, Russian min
lister of finance. This really amounts
to a struggle for ascendancy between
the old Russo party and the progress
sists. So warm was the discussion at
a recent council meeting that the car
broke down entirely, tears gathered in
his eyes and he buried his face in his
hands and cried: do what you like;
