UPPER LEHlGH NOTES.

The event of the season occurred on
Wednesday at the residence of George
Wilmot, Sr., when his youngest daugh-
ter, Mary, was united in marriage to
James w. Shaw, of town. The bride
entered the paror accompanied by her
niece, the maid of honor, Miss Lulu
Krommes. She was met there by the
groom and his brother, Edward Shaw.
The latter acted in the capacity Of best
man. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. j. w. Bischoff, OF this place, and
was witnessed by the immediate friends
of the young couple. The bride was
attired in a travelling dress of tan-covert
cloth trimmed with white satin and
cream colored lace and the maid of honor
wore organdie. After a bounteous re-
past Mr.. and Mrs. Shaw left for an ex-
tended trip to the seashore. They will
be at home to their many friends in their
newly furnished house on Main street

May Get No Public Building.

The supervising architect of the
treasury department, after examining
the sites offered for the new government
building at Wilkesbarre, has come to
the conclusion that the property is all
held at too high figure. The valua-
tion of property in that city is some
thing like that on Broad or Chestnut
streets, Philadelphia. The appropria-
tion made by congress is not large
enough to permit of purchasing such
extensive sites.

return to France the honor she has lost

he describes as "a most extraordinary
