The Family ol" Mrs. Uird Thompson Hisire to Thrust tin* Legal Harpoon Neath the Fifth Kib of the

Festive William.

Mrs. Will Thompson, who was shot by her husband some weeks ago at the home of George Wilson, in this city, came down fromDarlingtonWednesday with her brother, Charles D. Kashner. Mrs.Thompson is able to be about, but still looks pale and thin, showing plainly the terrible suffering she has undergone. She has an ominous cough, too, a result of the bullet passing through her luDgs. Mrs. Thompson came here to learn what steps the Prosecutor will take toward the punishment of her husband. She and her family are determined to have the yon3g man punished severely and have retained Crane & Anderson to assist Prosecutor Kennedy. Mr. Kashner stated that his family feared that jus tice might not be done in the case and that unless it was pushed that Thompson might escape with a nominal punishment. The relatives of the young lady wish him to receive the maximum punishment, as they state that the young lady'e health iB permanently impaired and that Thompson is morally as guilty of her murder as though she had died.

Mrs. Thompson will apply for a divorce, but as yet no action has been taken toward securing legal liberty from her would-be murderer.

Tuesday at noon occurred the marriage of Dr. J. Frank Simison, of Romney, and Miss Jessie Correll Hornbeck, the ceremony taking place at the home of the bride'B parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hornbeck, of south Green street. The decorations of the home were quite elaborate, the red carnation being the prevailing (lower, while holly and 6milax were extensively employed in the decorative work. In the parlor, where the marriage occurred, an artistic fret-work of holly and stnilax extended around t.he room from the picture molding, a heavy curtoin of the delicate vine being hung in the double doorway between the parlor and the music rootn. At the appointed hour about eighty guests, the relatives and the immediate friends of the contracting parties, were assembled and Miss Eliza Harmon began playing the wedding uiarch from "Lohengrin." To this the bridal party descended the stairs. A quartette, composed of Messrs. Omer Cox and A. A. McCain and Misses Edna Dice and May Kline, led the party and saug the bridal chorus. Master Detchon Garver, in the handsome white costume of a page, bote the wedding ring and preceded the maid of honor, the bride's cousin, Mibs Garnet Davis, of Majavia, California. Mies Davis wore a handsome costume of creme mousseline over silk, lace trimmings, low neck and short sleeves. She was followed by the bride, most becomingly gowned in a white figured moire antique trimmed in ostrich tips and accordian pleat chiffon. The dress .was made with high neck and long sleeves and demitrain. The bride wore the customary veil and carried orange blossoms

From the west door of the parlor little Misses Mayme Worthington, of Indianapolis, and Madge Courtney extended broad strands of satin ribbons to the southeast corner of the room, this forming an aisle through the guests for the bridal party. The groom came from the music room with the officiating clergyman, Dr. John E. Steele, of New Albany. The service was a beautifully impressive one and during it the quartette continued to sing softly the "Lohengrin" bridal choruB. The ritual was the abridged form of the Episcopal service, including the responses and marriage by ring, the book from which the vows were read being presented to the bride by the clergyman upon the conclusion of the service. Upon the benediction being pronounced the Mendelssohn march was played and to this the bridal party and guests proceeded- to the dining room, where the wedding breakfast was served. At the bride's table weie seated the bride and groom and their parents, Dr. Steele and Miss Davis, the maid of honor. After the breakfast congratulations were extended and at 2 o'clock about one hundred and fifty friends were entertained at a reception. The reception was a very handsome one in all its details In the dining room Mrs. LYauk Evans and Mrs. J. A. Greene presided at the coffee and ice tables and were assisted by Misses Agnes Chamberlain, Edith Bryant, Mabel Hutton, Ma' Goltra, Harriett Detchon, Mary Hallowell, Minnie Landman, Harriett Houser and Mae Taylor The gifts to the bride were displayed upstairs and were many and beautiful. Intheevening Dr Simison and bride left for a trip East and upon their return will be at home at Romney, where Dr. Simison has a large practice. He is one of the leading physicians and citizens of Tippecanoe county and takes for a bride one of the most charming young ladies of Crawfordsville.

A COLLEGE COURTSHIP.

Has lis Happy Consummation ast Tuesday lu Ihe Marriage of Mr. llenry Iternard Cooper and

S

Zerelda .J. Martin,

Tuesday evening at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Archibald Martin of west Main street, occurred the marriape of Mr. Henry Bernard Cooper and Miss Zerelda J. Martin. The rooms of the residence were in keeping with the event and the bright colors of Christmas llowors and vines were everywhere in evidence. Holly, mistletoe and red carnations were used in profusion in the work of adornment and the effect was decidedly pretty. In the dining room, where an elaborate collation was served after the service the decorations were particularly pretty and the bride's table was banked with red carnations relieved by graceful sprays of smilax. About one hundred guests were present when at eight o'clock Miss Julia Warner played the "Loheugrin" wedding march to which the bride and groom descended the stairs to the parlor where the ceremony occurred. They were unattended save by little Miss Helen Hays, who daintily attired in white organdie trimmed in narrow satin ribbons, preceeded them and bore the wedding ring in a basket filled with lilies of the valley. The bride was attired in a most becoming gown of creme Duchesse satin trimmed with Duchesse lace and pearl passamentrie. The gown had a rich bertha Duchesse lace, high neck and long sleeves, no train. The bride carried a shower bouquet of brides' roses. The ceremony was performed by the groom's father, the Rev. Henry Cooper, of Hubbard, Ohio, the ritual employed being that of the Episcopal charch, including the responsive service, and the mar riage by ring. During the impressive service Miss Warner rendered softly

DeKoven's "Oh! Promise Me," ana upon the pronounciation of the benediction played the Mendelssohn march, the bride and groom leading the way to the dining room where refreshments were served. After refreshments the bride and groom received the congratulations of their friends and the evening was delightfully passed. The bride was made the recipient of a large number of elegant and useful presents. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper left on the night train for Pittsburg, Penn., where they will make their home.

The marriage, a most happy one In every way, was the outcome of a college courtship. Mr. Cooper while a student at Wabash College met Miss Martin and the service of last Tuesday is attestation of the progress of their acquaintanceship. Mr. Cooper was graduated from Wabash College in the class of lS'.Mi and now holds the excellent position of professor of mathematics of the high school of Pittsburg, Pa. Mrs. Cooper is a most estimable and accomplished young lady loved and admired by a large circle of friends.

I'ratlier I'aid.

The suit of "Elder" Prather against the Brown'6 Valley Baptist church for S40, alleged to be due him as back salary, was dismissed in Stil well's court last Tuesday on the plaintiff's motion, Prather explaining that the money in controversy had been paid him. The money was paid it appears by two members of the church who wished to avoid trouble. There was no official action taken by the church, however, in the matter.

From l.afayette.

They will reside with Dr. Simison, Sr., at Romney, until the completion of their new and elegant residence in that town."

(Sett. Wallace's Kxprexsion.

Indianapolis Journal: General Wallace was one of the conspicuous figures in the lobby of the Dennison House yesterday. He was asked by a Journal reporter for an expression upon the question of the State convention in-7 dorsing a Senatorial candidate. "L am taking no part in that matter," replied General Wallace. "I will be a candidate before the Legislature, and a simple regard for the proprieties suggest that I do nothing which might look like an interference with the convention in a matter of party policy, the settlement of which belongs to it aione. If the convention decides to recommend a candidate for United States Senator to the Legislature, very well if it concludes to take no action upon the subject, very well. The will of the convention will be my pleasure."' ..
