Matrimonial Boom.

The little Orthodox Greek church
on the jackson. Gate road was the
scene of marriage boom yesterday
morning such as has never before
been witnessed in this county. A
priest of the orthodox faith, Rev. Il.
N. Posbkovsky, made special trip
from San Francisco to crafty the
trinity of couples that we're anxious to
be united in wedlock. Three brides
and grooms were in church at the
same time to get married. In this
unexampIed muster the Greek church
is entitled to the premium.
The church was we'll filed by the
friends of the contracting parties,
and number who we're not of that
religious faith, who gathered out of
curiosity to witness the trio of wedd-
ings.
The first couple to the altar we're
Waldo Sentenich of San Francisco and
Miss Drage Radonovich of jackson.
The BRIDES attendant was Mrs Claw
Mich. Unlike the practice in other
churches, it seems to be the rule
with the Orthodox church that the
bride shall be attended by married
lady. immediately after the cere-
mony this couple left the church and
we're driven in a carriage to lone,
where they took the train for San
Francisco, where they intend to make
their home, the groom being engaged
in business in the city.
The second couple to be welded
were Golub Kavaoevich and Miss Soke
Savich, the bridesmaid being Mrs
Perovich. They also lett the church
as soon as the marriage ceremony was
over.
The last couple were Mackin Choro-
vich and Miss Stanor Dabovich, the
latter being attended by Mrs Lepe-
itch. The two last named couples
will make their homes in this city.
