Another Account of the Pret-
ty Home Wedding Last
Wednesday Afternoon of
DR.. ]. p. Patrick, Of Rock!
Hill, and Miss Carol T.
ConnorS, of Lancaster.
Written for The News.


Thorn Connors was the scene of
the most brilliant event of the
midsummer season, when their
daughter, Miss Carol Tompkins
Connors, became the bride of
DR.. John Burckmyre Patrick, Of
Rock Hill, Aug. 5th, at $50 p.
m. A large number of invita-
tions had been issued.
The guests were met at the
front entrance by Mrs. T. j.
Strait, Mrs. ID. Reece Williams,
Mrs. Joseph F. Gregory and Miss
Cornelia Elliott, and shown into
the house, the whole lower floor
of which was thrown open.
The wide, long entrance hall
was aglow with pink roses and
green vines, which entwined the
broad stairway, the lofty walls
and doors and pictures. The
west parlor was decorated In red
hearts and marriage bells; lines
OF them extended across the
room from the corners of ceiling
and from points between and
formed a graceful airy canopy.
Vases of rich crimson nasturtiums
adorned the mantel, and added
much to the gorgeous effect. In
this room was displayed the very
elegant and costly wedding gifts.
The opposite parlor was the
ceremony-room and was festoon-
ed in green and white. In a
corner was an artistic altar made
exclusively Of pure Easter lilies,
most beautifully massed and ar
ranged. The surrounding walls
were elaborately cascaded with
white wisteria and running vines.
A green and white velvet art
square occupied the middle of
the room.
A chord from the piano an
nounced the approach of the
bridal party. Miss Ivy Craw-
ford presided at the piano and
Mr.. John Poag accompanied her
with the cOrnet. Mendelsshon's

came the maid of honor, Miss

of the bride. She was gowned
in lovely rose colored crepe de
chine over taffeta, and carried an
armful of pink carnations. Then
came the dainty flower-girl, lit

was elegantly gowned in lustrous
white satin. The bride made a
beautiful picture in her robe of
exquisite white Liberty satin, en-
train, and garnished with pearl
trimmings, finished with a yoke
of real lace. A coronal Of wax
like orange blossoms caught the
voluminous tulle veil, and a
"shower" of white carnations
and maiden hair ferns completed
the perfect toilet. The groom
in full evening suit, attended by
his best man, his brother. Mr..
William Moore Patrick, entered
from an opposite door and met
the bride at the altar. The Epis

Following congratulations the
bridal party, and guests, were
conducted into the spacious din

with vases and stands of mixed
splendid roses. In the center OF
the table there was an epergne OF

FEARFUL ACCIDENT.

Theis Fatally Injured and
Three Others Seriously
Hurt Great Destruction
OF Property.
A fearful disaster occurred at
Halle Gold Mine Monday morn
ling about ten o'clock, one of tb e
large boilers at the stamp mill
exploding, fatally injuring Mr..
Ernest Theis, the popular and
efficient superintendent, and
seriously hurting three others,
Messrs. b. M. Truesdale, ]. P.
Pitman and Eluore Ogburn, and
wrecking the boiler house and
mill house and partially destroy
ing the concentrator room. The
wounded men were attended by
Drs. Gregory, Brasington, Twit-

Kershaw. Mr.. Theis, who was
burned all over and his skull

Juries yesterday morning at 1.3O
o'clock. His body was taken to
Charlotte yesterday for inter.
ment. The Young man had
many friends and acquaintance
In Lancaster who were deeply
shocked and grieved to hear OF
his tragic end.
The accident is said to have
been due to weak or defective
boiler, and the damage to pro.
perty is estimated to be between
$4,000 and $15, 900.
The Charlotte Observer of YES.
terday, in which city the parents
of young Theis reside, contains
the following account of the
catastrophe. The death of Mr..
Theis occurred, OF course, after
that paper had gone to press. 1t
will be noted that The Observer
states that two boilers exploded
The report received here yester-
day was to the effect that only

The accident took place short

at the time were running smooth

accustomed duties in their ac-
customed way. There was moth.
ing slack so far as any of those
about the place could tell to in
dicate that there was anything
wrong. If the water was low in
one of the boilers no one was
aware Of it. Mr.. Thies, who
happened to be passing through,
observed to Mr.. Pittman, the
engineer, that his clock was
four minutes slow and sug.
gested that he move it for

Pitman proceeded to do. He
stepped up on box to get at
the clock and had just accom-
plished his mission and was
climbing down when the explos-
ion occurred. Mr.. Thies was
buried beneath the debris, his
face being cut by flying bricks
and falling timbers and his head
and BODY seriously burned
Messrs. Pitman, Truesdale and
Ogburn, the three other men in
the building, were also hurled
to the floor and almost if not al

material which fell all about
them.

left 1t to retire from active busi-

direction to his son, Mr.. Ernest

ever since. He has made it
prosper as did his father and
today the Halle mine is regarded
as one OF the safest, if any gold
mine may be esteemed safe, in
the country.

serious that has ever happened
in its history. There have been
