Williamsport, acted as best man
and Miss Olive Barrows, of La

man, took his place at the chalcel
while the bride, accompanied by
her brother, Fred G. Lauer, of
Muncy, and the maid of honor,
entered the vestibule and passed
slowly to the altar. The customary
ring service was used and the cere-
mony was both beautiful and i'm
pressive.
The bride was most becomingly
attired in an embroidered net robe
over cream silk and carried white
prayer book and beautiful boquet
of brides roses. The maid of honor
was prettily gowned in point Des-
prit, with pale pink trimmings and
carried pink roses.

nearly three years. Last fall he
was appointed assistant rector at

many beautiful and costly gifts, in
silver, cut glass, china and bric-a-
brac. There were also many other
gifts of a useful character.
After a sojourn of few weeks at
the seashore, the newly welded

and from an address made before the
state grange meeting by the Hon. John

about to be taken to test the constitu-

approved by a majority Of the popular
vote at the last election. Mr.. Platt said
he believed the people of the state of
New York never gave majority in
favor of the barge canal proposition, a
fact which he had never before public
ly stated. He made the assertion and
the accusation that the great majority
for the measure in New York city was
the grossest fraud ever perpetrated in
any election in any northern state.
"They would have us believe" he said.
"that there were more votes cast on
the barge canal proposition than for
the office Of mayor. In single district
in New York city there were more
votes cast on the barge canal measure
than for all the candidates for mayor

propriate not more than $500 toward
the expenses of the appeal.
