WEDDING RECEPTION.
Mrs. Narcie Minor, Sister of Bride, Receives Relatives and Friends of Bride and Groom Who Are Showered With Congratu-
 lations.

Society was quite agog Wednesday evening as the beautiful church We'd ding of MT. Robert Dorsey Wilmans to Miss Cornelia Phillips was followed by reception at the home of the brides sister Mrs Narcie Minor, given in honor of the contracting parties, to relatives of the families and young lady and gentleman friends.
 The home was fairly resplendent in the beauty of it's floral decorations and @@the hostess most affable and painstaking in the care of her guests. Hardly could a more exquisite func- tion have been planned and only by a few gifted entertainers could the hos pitalities of the evening have been so charmingly dispensed.
 In the hallway, the punchbowl was presided over by Misses No- reene Kinman, Mary Bailey and Hilda Bailey, who dispensed grace fully delicious and cooling fruit bev- craze.
 The bride and groom standing in the bay window of the room to the right, received the hearty con- gratulations and good wishes of all many of the greetings being expressed in neat and clever compliment, the offering of esteem and admiration in which these two young people are held.
 The bridal presents were numerous and costly, embracing handsome fur niture, beautiful pieces of cut glass and lovely silverware, including a deed from the groom's brothers to a pretty cottage on Walnut street, where the newly wed will begin house. keeping in few weeks
 The dining room seemed creation of fairy land, with such taste and art had the beautiful decorations been made part of the scene, which greeted the eyes of the bridal party, as they entered this nook of flowers The round table with ribbon stream CTS from the chandelier and hand some bowl of pink and white carna- tions formed picture of loveliness not often seen. In these touches of nature to advantage arrayed by wo- mans hand, the eye too feasted while a delicate repast of brick cream, cake, peppermints and olives was served. At the plate of each member of the bridal party lay bunch of the sweet carnations, to be carried home pro- longing the enjoyment of this de- lightful occasion.
 The cutting of the wedding cake later in the evening furnished the young people much amusement, the ring being found by Miss Mae Smith, the dime by Lawrence Bailey and the darning needle by some one, who still has hopes and refused to tell. Nothing marred the perfect success of the reception, which will go down in the memory of those in attendance as "a very rescherche and elegant affair.

DEATH FROM APOPLEXY.
James Maughan Died Suddenly We'd nesday Evening From Hem- orrhage Of Brain While at Store Falling Into Arms
 Of His Wife.

James Maughan, for three years resident of Newport, and a young man of high character, well liked by all, died suddenly Wednesday even- ing, shortly before nine o'clock at the store of Capt. w. A. Joyce on Front Street.
 The deceased had always enjoyed fair health except slight and period ical suffering with rheumatism, and during the day had not complained of feeling indisposed, though he had worked harder than usual in cleaning up the soda fountain. His wife and baby were at the store, sitting on the stairway which leads to Dr. Erwin's office, when after working on some prescriptions, he came round where she was sitting. Suddenly he fell for wards into the arms of his wife, ex- claiming sgoodbye," just as he lost consciousness.
 Mrs. Maughan called for help and Drs. Erwin and Coffman, who were sitting in front of the store rushed back. They found Mir. Vaughan still alive and administered powerful heart stimulants, succeeding in prolonging his life 25 minutes. The respiration improved, when suddenly the heart stopped beating and the end came within five minutes.
 The doctors attribute his death to stroke of apoplexy, caused from hemorrhage of the brain.
 Tie funeral services will be held Friday morning at 10 o'clock at the residence on Hazel Street, conducted by Rev. L. H. Richardson, pastor of the PresbyteriafAchu church, with which the deceased affiliated. The burial will be at Walnut Grove cemetery.
 The deceased was 29 years of age, having been born in Louisville, Ky., but this could hardly be called his home as he was raised in Helena, Arkansas, where he bore spotless reputation as deserving and moral young man. There his only i'm mediate relatives live, father and sister, except his devoted wife and little baby Charles Hungerford.
 MT. Vaughan came to Newport a. bout three years ago, accepting po- sition as drug clerk under Captain w. A. Joyce. In the summer of 1900, he was married to Miss Kate Shelby Joyce, whose grief is now almost un- bearable. In this sad trial, the sym pathy of all our people is extended.
 The deceased was member of the Helena Lodge of the Woodmen of the World, painstaking,. careful, oblig- ing and courteous business man. His character was no less graced with noble traits than his disposition with laudable characteristics. Moral and upright, kind and generous, he full filled well his duties and obligations as citizen and member of the family circle. The world loses ground in the death of good men, but the influence of character lives on to teach virtue and rectitude to others.
