Webster, July 10.-A pretty 6 o'clock
wedding occurred within the limits of
Worcester tonight. Although the nup-
tials took place in Worcester, both of
the contracting parties belong to Web
ster, and are well known.
Albert Fake and Miss Elsie D. CALI
van were the contracting parties. The
knot was tied by the Rev. John D.
Sprague, at the home of the brides par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. James Gallivan, at
1 Putnam lane.
The best man was William Gallivan,
a brother of the bride. The interests of
the bride were looked after by a Wor-
cester young lady, who is a relative.
Both the bride and bridesmaid were
elegantly gowned in white. They also
carried pretty bouquets of flowers At
ter the ceremony, the newly married
couple left on the Chicago express for
wedding tour of few days to ,Bos-
ton, but previous to their departure, a
wedding supper was served to the in
vited guests, followed by reception

DR.. Thomas J. Cronin has at his
School street office a species of bug that
may turn cut to be the deadly kissing
bug. The insect that Dr. Cronin has
at his office was captured by Thomas
Ryan. He gave it to Michael Welsh,
and the latter brought it to the physi-
clans office, where it can now be seen.
The Webster correspondent of The
Spy called at the Doctors office this
afternoon and careful and thorough
examination Of the insect was made
AS nobody has ever seen a kissing bug
in Webster AS far as is known, it can
not be determined definitely if DR.. Gro
nin's bug is Of the kissing variety.
The insect has all the appearances of
June bug or beetle, although its feel
ers are somewhat longer and more pow
erful than the ordinary June bugs. DR..
Cronin, however, does not think that it
is kissing bug, although he is not sure
one way or the other. He intends to
capture regular June bug and com
pare the two captives under a strong
| microscope which he has at his Office
and which will quickly detect the diff
ferenee should there be any.

Ever since Selectman John J. Love
got after the officials of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford railroad about
| their reckless switching over the Main
street crossing, there has been a sud-
| Gen decrease in the number of flying
switches from week ago. The citi-
zens are much pleased at the result.
The conductor that Mr.. Love reported
has been put on the "lay off" list for a
period OF 80 days. The gates at the
crossing are being repaired so that they
can be lowered upon the approach of a
| train.
