The Sacred Tie That Binds.

A quiet, but pretty wedding took
place at the home of Mr.. George
kirkpatrick, in this city, last eve
ming at O'Clock, when his daughter,
Miss Viola, was united in wedlock
with Mr.. Henry Springer, of this city,
by Rev. :. w. Trousdale, of the NJ
f. church.
The ceremonies were witnessed
only by relatives and few most in
parties. \ reception followed the
ceremonies, and the bride and groom
most graciously received their
friends.
The bride moved to this city with
her parents from Monroe about .
years ago, and during her stay here
has made many friends. Too many
appreciative words cannot be said of
this young lady. She is endowed
with the graces Of true woman,
modesty, executive ability, genial
kindness and a spirit of happiness
that has made her the comfort of
home and friends. She is skilled in
the domestic art as too few young
women are, and will prove a help
mate indeed to her husband in all
the avenues of life. And of the
groom, it may be truly said that there
are no better young men in the land.
He is at present employed in the ci
gar factory of his brother, Charles
Springer, in this city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Springer left on the
6:45 train this morning, under IA
of rice and old shoes, for
short wedding trip, after which they
will return to this city and enter
upon the real duties of life.
The TRIBUNE joins with their
many friends in wishing the young
couple all the happiness this world
affords.
Guests present at the wedding
from abroad We're: Mr.. Geo. Kirk
patrick, Jr., brother of the bride, of
Lincoln, Neb.; Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Redfearn, of Council Hill, H.; Mr..
and Mrs. John Lupten, of Lupten
Station, H.; Miss Lizzie Liddle, Of

Trouble at Calamine.

1t is reported that the little village
of Calamine was visited last Satur-
day night with one of those exciting
times that were quite common in
these mining districts in early days.
Three toughs from that vicinity after
drinking and carousing about this
city last Saturday left for Calamine
towards evening with the intention,
so It's said of painting the town
red" and from reports they carried
out their evil designs to "A finish.
Upon arriving at their destination
they entered the saloon of l.. Flem-
ing, and Immediately began picking
quarrel with the proprietor. The
three went at their victim and com
menced pounding him, and when
Mr.. Fleming got his release one of
the party went at him with knife,
and made several gashes in differ
ent parts Of his body. Mrs. Flem-
ing on hearing the noise from her
rooms over saloon, went down ac-
companied by two of her sisters,
hoping to be a peace-maker. When
they entered the saloon the rutfans
attacked them, severely kicking Mrs.
Fleming in the stomach, cutting her
with a knife, and then not being sat
isfied they deliberately threw her
out of the window. Ia the mean
time Mr.. Fleming mad ran to the de-
pot and telegraphed to Darlington for
the sheriff. Upon his return to the
saloon the brutes went at him again.
The officers from Darlington arrived
on the evening passenger, and find
ing the miscreants still carrying on
their murderous assaults, who took
them to Darlington and placed them
in Jail.
Mrs. Flemiug's condition was found
to be quite serious, and a telegram
was sent to this city for a doctor
DR.. Eastman answered the call, and
found the lady in a critical condi-
ton, with chances against her re-
coyery. 1t will no doubt 20 hard
with the VILLAINS, and more 80 should
the injuries Of Mrs. Fleming prove
fatal.
