Tin* of Mr. O. II. .risl and .Miss Wilhclmiiti. Wilkinson at th» Christian CJiurch—Tin* Davis-

IScnson Nuptials Colclmitetl.

Wednesday at 8:30 o'clock p. m., in the Christian church, occurred the marriage of Mr. Oliver Howard Griest, of Darlington, and Miss Wilhelmina Wilkinson, daughter of Mrs. Noah Wilkinsou. The auditorium of the church was most elaborately decorated for the occasion and presented a most pleasing spectacle. The altar was heavily banked with palms and chrysanthemums and from the chandeliers broad bands of white satin ribbon were extended to the corners of the auditorium. Ttie ushers were Messrs. George Ashman of Frankfort, Dumont Peck of Wabash College, Harry Fine and Ernest Wilhite. The bouse was filled when the hour for the ceremony arrived and Miss Lenora Barnhill began playing the bridal chorus from "Lohengrin." Singing the words of this beautiful chorus Mrs. W. F. Hulet, Miss Flora Kostanzer and Miss Ora Moffett entered the auditorium and passed down the west aisle to the aliar. They wore gowns of white organdie and carried bouquets of chrysanthemums. They were followed by the bride, who was unattended. Always beautiful, the bride was cjuite an ideal one. She was attired in a most becoming gown of while organdie trimmed with narrow frills of white satin ribbon and she carried brides' roses. The ushers came to the altar by the east aisle, and the groom approached from the vestry with the officiating clergyman, Dr. S. Burroughs. The ceremony was a beautifully impressive one and during it the singers softly sang Delvoven's "0!

Promise Me." The ritual employed was that of the Protestant Episcopal church and included the marriage by ring and the responses. Upon its conclusion Miss Barnhill played the Mendelssohn wedding march and to this the bridal party passed out of the church and were driven to the home of bride's mother on west Wabash avenue, where they were entertained. Only the bridal party were entertained at the home, however, there being no reception. The bride was made the recipient of an unusually large number of costly and elegant presents, a more beautiful display being seldom seen. Mr. and Mrs. Griest left that night for Chicago and will return in a few days to Darlington, where they will be at home to their friends after December 1. Mr. Griest is the principal of the Darlington schools and proprietor of the Darlington Echo. He attended Wabash College for several years and made many friends in Crawfordsville, being a most excellent young man of fine business capacity. He has taken &B his wife a young lady whose circle of friends is limited only by her acquaintanceship—a young lady of rare charm and grace of manner and possessed of those estimable traits character which endear her to all who know her.

Frankfort Crcsccut: Ed Corey, the Crawfordsville tighter, arrived here last night looking for Jack Tierney whom lie was going to whip on sight. It is saiil that he was surprised to lieur of Jack being here, thinking he was in Danville, 111. When Jack was told of his being looked for, he walked home, changed his clothes, and Corey was told where 10 find him. but Corey didn't go there.

To-day it is given out that Corey will go to work in Shular's blacksmith shop and stay right here until he makes Jack light him. Kid Hennesy, who is with hi n, says Corey will fight Jack for a dime or any sum at any time or place. Jack Tierney waB 6een and asked if he wouid fight Corey. "Fight him! Of course I will fight him. Lot him get up his money, say 8150, and see how quick I'll light him." "They say he is looking for you on the street," said the scribe. "Yes I heard ho was. I passed liim this morning and he didu't say anything. He is a yellow cur and a stiff. I never had a street fight, being too much of a gentleman to engage in anything of that kind, but if he jumps onto me I'll stop him with a broken head mighty quick."

These two pugilists may yet get together, and the sports about town should make up a purse for a "go," for it would be for ''biood" from the very start."

Wednesday was Capt. Biilingsley's birthday. In all these anniversaries no one had succeeded in surprising him and so confident was he that his eagle eye could detect, and frustrate any suspicious movements along about corn husking time, that he had grown concreipted in his own alertness. His neighbor, Mr. Stone and wife, just dropped in for a quiet evening's chat and to see that these good people that did not with undue haste turn out the mastiff, lock the chicken house and lie down to pleasant dreams. The Captain had just related to hi6 neighbors bow be had in the morning detected certain suspicious movements upon the part of his help mate but vigilence as usual had frustrated any attempt of this nature and now at nine o'clock all was well. The Captain was relating to his neighbor some of the harrowing scenes in that famous Chickamauga engagement many years ago. "Why," said he. "talk about the agony of suspense and the possibility of surprises, the boys who survived that conflict will never forget it At threo o'clock on that afternoon my command was to the south and east of Snodgra&s Hill while the Rock of Chickamauga, Thomas, was repulsing the enemy. We were surprised and nearly surrounded at one time but we were not the people to be taken that way—not we. We were too slick for them and from that day to this I have never allowed myself to be surrounded nor surprised by any"—Bang! Whang! Slam! and the yells mingled with the unearthly noises from tin horns and pans broke the stillness of tbat quiet homo as-the hero of Chickamauga found himself surrounded and captured by friendB. The mastiff weighed anchor and started at a 2:01 gate for Yountsville never so much as daring to cast a farewell glance back to the place where he had been wont to spend his reclining days. Capt. Insley'B big span of blacks standing at the gate leaped in the air and barely got back in time to save the driver from turning in time as an arial navigator. Col. Sander's family nag caught the spirit and turned a double handspring landing in Lookabill's potato patch half mile to the east. The capture was complete. The Captain can now be handled with perfect safety and it is said the broken war tale was carried away by the dog and will not come back. \V. T. Whittington with a few well chosen words presented to the prisoner, on behalf of his friends a solid gold G. A. It. badge. The Captain heartily responded and among other nice things said that nothing in the way of a present .^could give him more joy tlmn the one given. The ladies served cream and cake, after which games were indulged in until the neighbors' chickens in a mild protest called time. Their were thirty present, all from the city. The scores of friends of the Captain wish liim many more years and happy surprises. L.

Tho following is nn extract from a letter written from here by an editor of Molly Springs, Miss., to his paper, The Smith, of that place: "Since my last letter I have made a llank movement, and by way of tho ft Monon and Yandalia roads have entered tho beautiful little city of Crawfordsville, in which place mv family spent four years in the seventies and made many pleasant acquaintances, who have given us a cordial welcome after so many years of absence. "During the twenty years since our departure from a quiet little village, it has grown to bo a city of over ten thousand inhabitants,with well graded and graveled streetB aud convenient pavements. "It. is the homo of Gen. LewWallace, J. Maurice Thomrson and Governor J.

A. Mount, the present incumbent,who, at home, is a practical, also scientific, and withal a successful farmer, and is claimed by some to be the best Governor tho State has ever hail. "It has a line electric light plant.and system of water works. The latter is situated in a spring hollow in close proximity to the business center, almost exactly as our plant will be situated. Wells have been mnk by the springs and the engine and piiuips are located in the bottom of the gorge, with the tower on top of the bank, probably one hundred feot above its level. Tho works aro owned by a stock company, and the rates are so oppressive that a majority of the inhabitants do not use tho water aud the authorities now see the mistake they have mado, as such plants in other towns, owned by the city, aro giving cheap water and paying a profit.' A "I witnessed yesterday parade of tho Pytliian lodges of this district, sevoral uniformed lodges being present. The visitors were c?scorted by the local' lodge, a military company and the Knights of St. John, tho latter a Catholic organization, and gave an exhibi-C tion drill, the best I over witnessed. I noticed Gen. Wallace as a much intereBted spectator. "The people in this country remind you of a colony of ants ever on the go, swarming hither aud thither, seeking entertainment and amusement. The numerous railroads are taking excursions in every direction. Picnics, reunions and band concertB aro in evidence everywhere, and everyone goes and takes tho babies. Half the men appear to be unemployed and a citizen remarked, 'how they live iB indeed a mystery.' "Gentlemen of leisure abound, who reside in lino houses and live on the accumulation of the past. You can hardly strike man of ago enough who does not draw a pension, no matter how rich ho is. "I find an increased interest manifested in our southland, and eager in-

quiries mado about evenything, and an expressed desire to invest in the South, and I find many who have in Tennessee and Georgia.

The fever alarm has not seriously shattered their nerves, as increased tiavel in our country has given them a pretty good idea of the real condition of affairs and confidence that experience and organization will eventually stamp out vellow fever and we will cease to have 6uch Ecenes as this summer

I visited several other industries of like nature, all entirely dependent on the waterworks. Natural gas is now used for fuel and is piped here from a distance of forty miles. It is the best steam producer ever used, is easy to manage and economical.
