con was served by the young ladies OF

pleasant features Of the event. Con-
CALCULATIONS and best wishes were ex-
tended to the bride and groom Of q

thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
P. v. Van Arsdale and Miss D'Maris

CITIZEN OF u. s. TO 49,
FACE FIRING SQUAD

New York, May 10. The fate of
jeremiah c. Lynch, an American ciu-
zen, who was to have been shot at day
break in Dublin, is believed to be
screened by strict censorship. No
word regarding the man who had been
convicted Of completely in the Irish re-
bellion had come over the cables up
to Q O'Clock this. morning. President
Wilson made an eleventh hour plea Tor
q stay of execution just before mid
night last night in Washington owing
to the difference in time, Lynch was
to have faced the firing squad about
three hours after President Wilson had
directed that a cable be sent to Lon
don asking that the execution be de-
ferred until the American government
could make an investigation into the
case.
It was not known here whether
President Wilson's plea reached the
English authorities in time to save
Lynch from being executed.
