MARSToN-PfRMELEE.

The wedding of Miss Julie Fowler ParmeIee, youngest daughter of Mrs. Henry Spencer Parmelee of 2S Hill house avenue, to Roy Leon Marston of the Yale school of forestry, took place at the brides home at 4 o'clock yester- day afternoon. Owing to the death this fall of the young nephew of Mrs. Par melee, which occurred while the young man was abroad with his family, the wedding was very small affair, inyi- tations being limited to only the near relatives and close friends, about sev- enty-fiye in all. Rev. Dr. Smytfl of ficiated at the wedding ceremony at an inlprovised altar of palms and potted plants. SS-
 The matron of honor was Mrs. Whit temore Lowe, a sister of the bride, whose wedding occurred early last June. She wore her wedding dress of white satin and carried a bouquet of American Beauty roses. The bride look ed very handsome in a gown of white satin, trimmed with duchess and point lace. She wore veil fastened with orange blossoms and her bouquet was of orange blossoms and white roses. The bride was given away by her brother, Henry F. Parmelee
 Professor Henry Crosby Emory of
 Yale was the best man, and the ushers ,Mere Pierre Tyler, Stewart Hotchklss, George Meyers of Washington. D. C., and John Appleton of Boston, The cer- emony was performed in the drawing room of the Parmelee home, which was handsomely decorated with palms, run ming pine, quantities of white chrysan- themums and American beauty roses. ! The other rooms of the house were handsomely trimmed with masses oi chrysanthemums and bridesmaid roses l The music room, in which an or
 chestra under Fichtl was placed, was
 screened off with a curtain of the 1 greens.
 Previous to the ceremony the orcNes. l tra played . short programme, and al l 4 o'clock announced the coming of tht
 bridal party by the Bridal Chorus from 'Lohengrin. During the cere l nony Grieg's s'Ich lieb dicha was nlav

the explanation. "You take the ground that If this application is refused the company is permanently stopped for ever from taking further steps. This is not so.s Moreover, the city engineer has 8 better plan, and one which the com pany admits is feasible. but claims is too expensive. The city has disap- proved the company's plan, and be- lieves that any plan adopted should provide for a grade of not over 8 per cent, and I think the commissioners should regard that expression of dis approval
 We have frequently adjourned the hearings to give the city an opportuni- ty to present better plans, but none has been prepared" said MT. Wilcox. Whereupon Mir. Watrous advocated immediate and favorable action on the part of the commissioners, detailing all the arguments which had previously advanced in their favor.
 The final discussion and the result thereof are told at the head of the story. -..- .---- -sr,.yz

last here, gentlemen, horse has drop ped dead in his effort to haul his load over the Chapel street bridge, and oth- CT accidents have happened, and now it is proposed to make conditions much worse.
 I've are all friendly to the railroad, but we do not think it should be allow ed to injure any individual, any more than any other corporation should be permitted to. Moreover, let us say to the railroad as We would to a manu- featuring concern, If you want to make any improvements to your prop erty you must do so without injury to other persons holdings-and you must pay the cost yourself. :"
 An attempt by General Ford to se- cure a rising .Sss of those present on the propositio was blocked by the commissioners, who declared the sug- gestion to be out of order.
 What is your plan, general?" asked t MT. Fyler. E
 ''I have none, although should ap-
 prove either Engineer KelIy's plan, the
 lowering of the roadbed or the estab-
 lishment of an entirely new route"
 Whereupon General Ford made three
 more intellectual attempts to get ris-
 ing vote, the commissioners still ob- iJecting. "a s @.
 Henry J. Donovan believed that while
 the company should be permitted to iWiden the cut it should also be com lpelled to depress the tracks four feet
 and lower the bridges two feet from
 their present height-a suggestion
 (which was received with great ap-
 plause. This view was also taken by
 several other speakers. ts su4.- =as.e~.
 All the testimony having been taken , Mir. Daggett arose and declared that the company would and should be al
 lowed to make improvements, and that
 the expense involved is the only ques- tion. : ''The roadbed can be lowered" said Mir. Daggett, land its own engineers have acknowledged that fact. By g slight additional expenditure it can fol. !, low out the plan suggested by City En- gtneer Kelly, and the only question is , as to whether the city shall be com pelled to bear the whole burden, II } raised bridges and heavy grades, ol whether the company shall be obliged
 to spend 8 little more money in making a change satisfactory to the city. really believe that the company pre-, lpared both the original plan and ths amendment without considering tht z lefty at all.
 3 And I also believe that if the rail [ road commissioners disapproye thi 5 plan, the company will discover som, g way to improve the present cut in ! manner entirely satisfactory to both tn
 lrailroad and the city"
 l The action. of the board of aldermen ] Monday evening was also explained t, f the commissioners and strong pro f test was entered by Mir. Daggett to tn . Iapproyal of the plans.
 | Tt is admitted decreed MT. Will ? COX. 'fthat Improvements must be made , and this is the only plan presented. W s know of no other plan, and if we dis 9 approve this'

TO APPROVE CUT PLANS,
(continued from Second Page.) :

(Continued from Second Page.) v 'his explanation concluded, Mir. Wat Us read the detailed amendments as eady printed reducing the proposed hde of 6.6 per cent. at Wooster street 5 per cent. and at Chapel street from varying grade to a practically uni I'm 5 per cent. grade. A few supple sntary remarks were also offered by R. Harte. engineer of the company. ! cali for representatives of property sners interested in the question ought forth John T. Sloan, who ex- lined on behalf of a number of State eet holders that the change of grade uld greatly hamper the sewerage btem, not only in that thoroughfare, t also in parts of Chapel street.
 And we are going to fight the mat 7 continued MT. Sloan. As it is, IDS are used in the cellars to pre-
 sewage backing up. and difference one foot would make a most serious Terence.
 Following MT. Sloan, Charles w. aittlesey not only declared the mendment'' to be worse than the |ginal plan, but in answer to Com ssioner Wilcox strongly advocated own plan, concluding, however, with J declaration that it was up to the npany, anyhow" t5 find a satisfac- " solution of the problem.
 Planning to represent, unoficially, Prty of the heaviest taxpayers and st prominent business men of New ven,' H. J. Griswold spoke as fol- Es:
 Gentlemen of the Railroad Commis- In: 1T do not appear before you as presenting the city government, nor
 Chamber of Commerce, nor any ily organized body of citizens. Never Hess, I come before you, as express the views of a large number of our Aviest taxpayers, whose property will greatly depreciated, If you grant the luest, which is now before you, for Z lsideration..
 Tit happened that I was present at
 last hearing before the aldermanic nmlttee on roads and bridges, and
 the spur of the moment I made the sgestion that the railroad be allowed choose their own route through the Hy, provided they would yacate the Asent central cut and erect an ele- ted structure for the through traffic 1ewhere outside of the residential d business portion of the city. I pro. led that, instead of entirely doing ay with the cut the grades should reduced and the "cut' be electrified used as local manufacturers and siness freight railway, thus doing ay with the smoke and dirt. Next y was sent for by several heavy bperty holders and was asked to piify and explain my plan, the result which was that this plan was elab- yted and published in all of the Sun papers November 13), also in the 1rnal and Courier of the following fnday.
 < For nearly two weeks my entire
