ing on their bridal tour.
The reception Immediately following the
wedding ceremony was attended by fully
four hundred people, the old colonial home
of Judge ard Mrs. Speer being in a blaze
of glory.
1t was a simple home wedding, the cere-
mony being performed in the presence of
the hosts of friends, who had assembled
In the spacious parlors of The Cedars.
Mr.. Hugh Washington, a close friend of
the family, took the place of the best
man who had been selected from the
groom's many navy friends, but who had
been unavoidably detained at the last
minute Immediately after the ceremony.

clety.
Lieut.. and Mrs. Signor will leave for a

nah four years ago that Lieut.. Signor met
and fell in love with Miss Speer, who is
one of the South's handsomest and most
representative women. She is daughter
of the illustrious judge of the United

Georgia, and her mother was, before mar
riage, Miss bearing of Athens. Endowed
with a naturally bright and vigorous in
tellect, which has been thoroughly cultiva-
ted; having a charming personality anl

his life, since his earliest boyhood. has
been spent in the navy. In 1890 he grad
uated from Annapolis. While located al
Savannah four years ago, he regularly
attended st. Johns Church, of which Dr.
Strong was rector.
The elegant home at which the wed.
| ding occurred was artictically decorated
| with the many lovely flowers which make
| this country a paradise on earth; and as
the many candles shed their effulgenct

ening and sent shimmering rays through

Caused the Death of w. C. Dell of
Gainesville Fla.

Gainesville Fla, May 10.-Mr. w. Camp
bell Dell one OF the most genial, whole
souled young men in this city, and a son
of Hon. j. NJ. Dell, city clerk and treas
urer, died Tuesday afternoon at his resi-
dence in East Gainesville at $50 O'Clock
from taking laudanum. AS to the cause
of this act, whether Intentionally or not,
no one knows but sad it is that he is
dead and sadden still is it to his wife and
child, who were so suddenly bereft of q
husband and father
Mr.. Dell was cutter in the market of
B. b. Barco He went to his work as US
ual yesterday morning, and while cutting
some beef the knife slipped and cut his
hand. Mr. Barco says that, while the
wound was painful one, Mr.. Dell seemed
to be all right by noon.
At o'clock Mr.. Dell left the market, it
seems, and said he would relieve Mr.. Bar
co later, as he was going to dinner. From
the market, 1t appears Mr.. Dell went to
the drugstore of A. j. Vidal, where he pur-
chased from John Vidal a vial of lauda-
mum. John Vidal, boy possibly 10 years
of age, states that Mr.. Dell was an old
customer, and noticing that he had his
hand bandaged, and thinking the lauda-
mum was to be used in curing the hand
he did not question Mr.. Dell as to what he
intended doing with the drug.
From the drug store Mr.. Dell went
home. Mrs. Dell noticed the empty vial
labeled laudanum and being afraid her
husband had drank the contents, she
summoned DR.. e. Lartigue, who got DR..
j. H. Hodges and they went to Mr.. Deli 5
residence. They could notice nothing I'M
| natural in his actions, and asked him If
he swallowecfthe drug. Mr.. Dell denied
| taking it, but as a precaution they adj
ministered an antidote and departed. Lat
er Mrs. Dell discovered her husband lying
on the bed in an unconscious condition.
She summoned physicians. but it did no
| good. The drug had got too far the
start and in short time Mr.. Dell was
dead.
The funeral took place yesterday after
noon from Kavanaugh Methodist Episco-
| pal Church, Rev. B. K. ThroYer officiat-
| ing. The interment was at Evergreen
| Cemetery. A large concourse of sympa-
| thizing friends attended the funeral. Mr..
Dell was born near this city twenty whine
years ago and was reared here.
