HAvNER-DoLLoFF. At the home of Mr.
and Mrs. John Dolloff on Congress street
yesterday noon, their daughter Vannie was
married toWilliam Jacob Havner The rooms
were very handsomely decorated with ever
greens, flowers and bunting, and the bridal
couple stood under an arch and upon
handsome fur mat, the latter one of the
many wedding gifts. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. George S. Mills in the
presence of only the members of the two
families. The brides cousin, BENJAMIN n.
Mudgett of Monroe, was best man and her
sister Blanche was bridesmaid. The bride
was gowned in a blue travelling dress trim
med with white and carried a bouquet of
bride roses. After the ceremony refresh
ments were served, and the happy couple
took the 20 train for bridal tour of two
weeks after which they will board with the
bridegroom's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
l.. Havner, at the corner of Church and
Miller streets. They were the recipients of
large number of useful and valuable pre-
sents, including tables, chairs lamp, silver
and glass ware, table linen, ETC. Among
the presents one will be specially cherished
on account of associations. 1t is a set of
silver tea spoons from the "Jimsey Walkers
Little Game Company" and was accompan.
led by the following stanzas:
In April ninety-eight,
A comedy was begun,
That's ended up quite seriously
Though 1t was gotten up in fun.
Twas this way, as 1 remember,
The Band was getting short
And crowd OF us proposed play;
play just full of sport.
We picked our play and then rehearsed;
And rehearsal nights would bring
AS seen to all but two of US,
That this play was a serious thing
For Spinks would shy and get as red
When we grumbled and said twas pity
1 hat we couldn't have our rehearsals
prompt,
On account of the soubrette Kitty.
We never knew just what was the cause
That brought the thing to head
But bicycle rides or the Searsport ride.
One or the other It's said
So you see play is a dangerous thing,
No matter what anyone thinks;
For it's changed the whole life Of two of our
| refer to Kitty and Spinks.
If this partnership aint success
And you fight like hi at home.
Don't lay it to any of tie troupe,
We have troubles of our own
The happy couple are among Belfasts
best known young people, and our readers
Will be pleased TO learn that they are to re-
main with us and that they will, without
doubt, continue to be, as they have hereto
lore been, foremost in the musical and dra-
matte life of the city. Mr.. Havner is book
keeper for Critchett, Sibley & Co. and his
bride is young lady of musical talent and
ability. Their many friends extend con-
gratulatlons. A large crowd of young peo-
pie followed the bridal party to the depot,
showering them with rice all the way from
the house to the car. The carriage and bag
gage We're decorated with white ribbons and
large tin can was towed behind. AS the
train started another shower of rice greeted
the party aid the shoe-factory whistle salut-
ed with three blasts, which was answered
by a similar salute from the locomotive.
w hen the train reached Burnham, VIM. H.
Quimhy who was on board bound to Boston,
telegraphed back that the bridal couple
Were well.
