And next in Importance to the
above intelligence Is the assurance
that the new depot is nearer cer-

had warranted. This much Is GER

the history of the place. The pariur,
with the dining room adjoining, were
used, and were decorated in red,
myriads Of hearts in red and Cupids
in white, being In evidence. The
long dining table, around which the
guests were seated, was exquisite in
