W. 6. Ryan Home.

Mr.. w. c. Ryan, accompanied
by his estimable wife, arrived In
the city on Saturday evening, and
have been visiting at E. A. Ryan's
since that time, while preparing
their cozy cottage on Water street.
for their future home. Mr.. and Mrs
Ryan were married on Wednesday
last at the Catholic Church at Allie
gheny, New York, the home OF Mrs
Ryan and the former home of Mr..
Ryan. Tue marriage service was
performed by Rev. Father Joseph,
of that parish. The bride Is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. F,
Waters. Mr.. Waters is one of the
most prominent citizens of that
community, and owns a large home
stead In that vicinity. A large
number of friends of the bride
and groom were present, and the
wedding remembrances were both
numerous and handsome.
After the marriage, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ryan visited Jamestown, Salaman'
ca and other points OF interest near
their home, arriving In this city on
the evening train Saturday.
It Is needless to say that the
many friends of Mr.. Ryan are re-
joiced to learn of his marriage, and
that they unite with the Review in
extending the most hearty con-
gratulations to the young couple,
and also to express the wish that
Mrs. Ryan may find as many
warm friends In Sistersvilie as her
husband can claim.
1t Is presumed that the many
friends of the jolly councilman will
say a few words to him this evening
In a most emphatic manner, accom-
panying them with demonstration
of good will such as will not be
forgotten by his lovely bride for
years to come.
