WEDDING,
Boudin--Bourcier.

At St. Mary's church Tuesday morn ing at 9.30 o'clock Miss Isabelle Bour- cier, daughter of Assistant Chief En- gineer Alphonse Bourcfer, of the fire department and Mrs. BeuFefer, became
 the bride of John Boudin of North EGrosvenordale. The ceremony was per formed by Rev. Adrian Dykemans. The bride was attended by Miss Ellen Thomas of this city. Albert Boudin, brother of the groom, was best man. Following the marriage there was a reception at the home of the brides parents, 46 Smith street, attended by many relatives and friends
 MT. and Mrs. Boudin left early in the afternoon for a weddiD~ trip to Boston, Brockton and other cities. | EUpon their return they will make their home at North GrosvenordaIe. The bride received many beautiful gifts of linen, cut glass, silverware, home fur tnishings and special remen1brances. Over $500 Collected for the City. It is announced that more than $500 has been collected by Torrey and Geissler as corporation counsel for the city, this sum representing back taxes due the city for sidewalk iEn- provements and for other obligations. The collection in total represents pay
 ments by number of individuals who
 have been lax in settling the accounts, which have been open in most in- stances for a. long time. There still remain some accounts of the same class that are uneo1Iected, in some fn- stances those charged holding they are not liable. A resort to a civil suit to the city if it desires to collect this particular class of accounts, that the legality of the assessment, as question l ed by a few who have not paid, may be determined. Whether the city will resort to such suits to make the col Fl rxyI1i ao% Io a4~f.J under such conditions, remains to be tseen.
