London. Oct. 2i.-General Merritt
and Miss Williams were married at 6
o'clock this evening in the brides
apartments at the Savoy hotel. IL had
been planned to have the ceremony
take place in st. Andrews church.
Westminster. but an illness which Miss
williams contracted during the voyage
necessitated the simplest ceremony and
the avoidance OF excitement. Conse-
quently only few most intimate
friends were present. They were Mrs.
Norman Williams. the brides mother:
Norman Williams, jr.. brother of the
bride. Lord and Lady Arthur Butler
and Henry White. the United States
charge d'affaires.
The Rev. John Heathcote. rector OF
st. Andrews church. officiated. The
bride entered on the arm of her brother.
who gave her away. She was att'red
in white satin and wore the usual veil
and orange blossoms. Though looking
I'll, the bride stood through the ,ere-
mony and pronounced the responses In
n strong voice. After the ceremony Mr..
White proposed the health OF the bride,
which was drunk with enthusiasm, and
the members of General Merritt's rtaft
congratulated the newly married
couple.
The illness OF the bride has not proved
as serious as expected and General and
Mrs Merritt will be able to carry out
their expectation of going to Paris at
the end of the week. They will pro-
ceed TO the Philippine islands after the
adjournment of the peace commission.
