Pipkin, of Goldsboro, and Sue Will
son, Of Kinston. FEpm this room
they were escorted by Mr.. F. L.
Pippen, of Enfield and Mrs. c.. d.
Gold to the dining room, where most
delicious refreshments were served
by Misses Nir Roberts, Ella Nc
Craw, Vance Tilghman, Edna Tyer,
Georgia Hales and Sallie Gordon.
From this room the guests were
ushered to the coffee room by Misses
Smith, of Goldsboro, and Pauline
Woodland, of Wilson, who were re-
ceived in this room by Mesdames
Albert Anderson and Thad Thrash,
of Tarboro, where coffee was served
by Misses Bette Wainwright and
Maude Tyler, Of Wilson, and Rachel
Borden and Stella O'Berry, of Colds
boro. In this room were the pres
ents. They were many of them.
They were magnificent.
The couple left on the north bound
train for an extensive northern tour.
After their return their home will
be in Goldsboro, where the groom
has large and growing practice.
Wilson regrets to lose from her
midst this popular young bride, for
she was beloved by all. In all of
the churches and at all social func-
tiOnS her sweet melody and song
have made her numberless friends
whose cordial good wishes go with
her to her new home in our sister
town of GOldsbOrO.

ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.

Accounts of the origin of the fire
are conflicting and none of them GER
tain, but the best reason given is
that an electlc wire near the lower
part of a piece of drop scenery sud-
denly broke and was grounded. The
fire spread rapidly toward the front
Of the stage, causing the members of
the chorus who were then, engaged
IN the performance to flee to the
wings with screams of terror. The
fire i'll itself up to this time was not
serious and possibly could have been
checked had not the asbestos curtain
failed to work.

ESPECIAL TO THE ARGUS.
Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 31.-The
most awful theatre fire in Amer
ica's history, which occurred yes
terday, caused the death of
nearly one thousand people here,
when. Klaw Sc Erlanger's Iro-
qylois Theatre, within five weeks
of is opening, burned during
aftl4, latinee of "Bluebeard." "
\ this hour g o'clock p. m.
CQ'her Traeger reports, by ac-
! count, the bodies of SEVEN
NDRED and FORTY-FIVE
:lAD, and there are still an
Known number in the ruins.
It was one of the most dread
lcatastrophes ever known in
q history of this country, and
le scenes are among the sad
lest ever witnessed by mortal
ean.
4 1t will be many hours before
the number of dead is accurate
" known and many days before
LII of them will be identified.
There are bodies lying by the
lozens to, day in the undertak-
Fuoms, in the police stations,
md in the hospitals, from which
hearty everything that could re-
cal their identity to those who
new them best, is gone. Their
lothing is torn to rags or burned
b cinders and their faces have
cen crushed into an. unrecog-
liable pulp by the heefss ofsth,e
:owd that trampled them, down
they fed for safety.
The fire broke out during the
