Father Claude performed the marriage
ceremony that united for life the des-
TIMES Of two of Dickinson's popular
young people, Miss Margaret Brislin and
Mr.. Henry F. Belcher.
The wedding was a pretty though quiet
one, and took place at the new home of

and prepared for the occasion.
The bride appeared very neat in a be-
coming tan-colored tailor-made suit,
while the groom was attired in conven-
tional black. The bride was attended
by Miss Margaret Flynn, and William
G. Ray assisted the groom.
Only a few intimate friends of the
young people were present to witness the
occasion. A very nice wedding supper
was served, which had been tastefully
prepared by the bride, and all who par
ticipated pronounced it a very enjoyable
affair.
Mr.. and Mrs. Belcher were the recipi-
cnts of a number of beautiful presents,
which showed they stood high in the es-
timation of their friends.
Mrs. Belcher is a young lady who has
been in Dickinson for the past seven
years, and enjoys the respect and esteem
of all who know her. Mr.. Belchcr is en-
ploycd AS fireman on the N. P. at this
place and has many friends who extend
congratulations to him and his bride,
and wish them a prosperous and pleasant
journey along life's matrimonial sea.

passed through the southern part of
Johnson and the northern part of Hill
counties about noon to-day, doing terri
BILE destruction. The town of Blum, in
Hill county, seventy-five miles south
west of Dallas, was partly destroyed
and several persons were fatally in
jured. A daughter of Dr. Hanks had
scantling driven through her body, and
is in dying condition. The S-year-old
daughter of D. P. Hunt had both legs
broken, and was injured internally. She
is not expected to recover. Lacey Rob
ertsons wife was caught in their fall
ing house and crushed so badly that she
will probably die. The public schoo!

ly hurt. About dozen dwelling houses
were destroyed in addition to the school
building. The Baptist church was
wrecked. Much other damage was DONE
but details have not yet been received

AMERICAN VICTORIES.
The Filipinos Are Defeated In Several
Fights In Luzon.

Manila, April 27.-Several more Amer
ican victories are reported from differ
ent parts of the islands. In North lilo
cos 800 rebels were killed. At Batoc 700
rebels, only one-quarter of whom were
armed with rifles, attacked the Amer
leans, charging their position and fight
ing at close quarters. The fight lasted
Ail afternoon, and the rebels succeeded
in burning the town, but were finally
repulsed after the arrival of American
re-enforcements. The insurgents are
showing surprising aggressiveness.
They captured an American provision
wagon near Lapo. The Americans have
obtained evidence that the alcaldes of
Lapo, Magsinai, Cabugas and Sinait
were holding treacherous communica-
tion with each other, and they impris-
oned them, and out of punishment
burned the town hall of Lapo. There
have been several minor fights in the
province, including an attack by 200 in
surgents on Lavag, forty of whom were
killed and eighty captured. There were
no casualties at Batoc, where 1870 insur-
gents were killed and seventy wounded.
