THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature has at last been
able TO get into legal harness for
work. There was q want OF har-
mony and absolute non recognition
OF each other by the Senate and the
House, that bordered on calamity.
Each party had better beware Of
thar. This state, so far as the peo-
pie are concerned, will not hsrbor
any legerdemain that may bear the
semblanoe OF disregard for the ma
terial interests of every citizen.
The House did not recognize the
Senate, the Governor did not send
bis message to the House, and the
Senate ia return, did no5 recognize
the House, and the House went pill
fering after seats for the election of
an y. s. Senator. Right here they
should beware. There are more PEG.
pie in this State and more interests
in it, than can be owned or con.
trolled by any one mans ambition
for self. Pat that down as p fact.
Got was robbed and cheated out Of
tie guberr aaorial oaice, and that &C.
counts Tor his strength With all the
people today. No such jobbery &,
not to say robbery, was ever intend
ed and will never be endorsed by
the good citizens of the State. Put
that down as fact. But common
sense, since the factional effort Of
the House has resumed sway, and
they are ready ioI business. Moth.
ing Of Importance has transpired'
Bills have been offered and referred,
and VIC presume tie Senators and
delegates from this section will keep
their people SO informed, as TO re.
ceiye suggestions at least, SO as to
elicit opinions on legislation. It
would be right so to do.

A NEW CONSTITUTION.

The lawyers at the Bar Aasocia-
tion favored the calling OF con-
yention for a new constitution for
the State. That looks right. West
Virginia has outgrown the present
one, and as we learn by experience,
that experience, should CLEAN of the
learning. There is much awry in
our present organic law, much to be
remedied and a great deal more to
be advanced. Therefore, having,
grown from childhood to manhood,
let us don now the equipments OF
maturer years, and place ourselves
by our enlarged growth, nearer the
front rank in civil and political con-
cord, with the most advanced States
of the Nation.

VIM. L. Wilson's friends here who
shared the ecstasy of seeing hin rise
to the position of leadership of
their party, guiding its councils, and
giving fern it's policies, found some
palliation Tor him, when, two years
sgo, he broke with his party, in tie
belief that he supported a ticket,
Democratic in name, at least: But
what must be their feelings when
they are brought to acknowledge a
baser apostasy than that.
Upon the authority of exMayor
Strong, of New York, Mr.. Wilson
did not vote for Palmer and Buck
ner, He confessed to a party of
friends at the New Years reception
of the Union League Club, and out

that he voted for William Mckinley

youngest daughter of Col. T. B.
Kennedy, President OF tue Cumber-
land Valley r. r. to Irwin @. Elder,
Esq, of Chsmbersburg. The cere.
mony took place in the Falling
Springs Presbyterian church and
was performed By Rev. A. Russell
Stevenson, OF Schenectady, N. Y,
brother-in Law OF the bride, assisted
BY Rev. J. A. Crawford D. D., pas
tor emeritus of the church. A large
ard fashionable audience filed the
church which was beautifully deco
rated in pink and green, .he choir
being screened in smilax and pink
carnations, and the windows were
banked with green. The bridal
chorus from Lohengrin was rem
dered BY the choir led by Prof. Shaw
as the party entered the church, and
"Arise Fair Maid' from "Rose
Garden. as they departed.
Miss Elizabeth McCune. of Ship
pensburg, was maid Of honor; Miss
Cornelia McLanahan and Miss Nor
ris, of Washington, D. c., Miss
Margaretsa Paxton, of Princeton, N.
j.; Miss Mary Culberston, Of Lewis

burg, were the bridesmaids. The
ushers were NJ. G. Kendedy and T.
B. Kennedy Jr., brothers of the
bride; William Darling, Esq, of
Wilkesbarre Pa, Robert Coyle,
Pbiladelphia, q. P. Fletcher, ESQ.,,
and George Chambers, OF Chambers
burg. The maia OF honor and brides
maids entered the church through
the choir, passed down the north
aisle and met The bride at the south
door, from whence, preceded by
the ushers and followed by the
bride and her father, the party pro-
ceeded to the altar by the south
aisle. The groom and his best
man, W. K. Sharpe ESQ, came
through the choir and met the
bride, who entered on her fathers
arm and was given away by him.
After the ceremony the party re-
tired by the north aisle.
The bride was gowned in ex.
quisite ivory white satin, trimmed
in Duchesse lace and carried q
bouquet of white lilacs. Her
veil was of fiimsy old lace which has
been worn by succession of brides
in the family. The maid Of honor
and bridesmaids were attired in pink
chiffon over silk, trimmed in white
lace and narrow pink and white sat-
in ribbons. They wore becoming
pink Gainsborough hats with white
plumes and carried punches of pink
roses.
The group about the altar was
most effective, the wedding being
one of the most beautiful that has
taken place in the historic old
church.
immediately after the ceremony a
wedding breakfast was served at
the home of the bride, at which
there were numerous guests, the
palatial residence being hansomely
decorated for the occasion. The
presents were rich and varied in
cluding rare hangings, marbles, rugs
as we'll as the usual fine, silver
glass and china, in keeping with the
social prominence of the bride.

to know upon what reasons this re-
versal is founded. As the text of
the decision has not reached here
the details cannot be given. How
ever, as the course OF trials are now
held, every effort on the part Of
judges TO have & fair trial on the full
merits of case in civil matters, and
a disposition, always to rule an

practically the rule, and has always
been manifest in Judge Faulkner's
decisions, we are az q loss to con-

the court has reversed him. There
is one thing TO he said and that is,
fair man on the bench, between the
contentionists is very apt TO have q
better conception upon a question
