CUPID’S VICTORIES.

Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock, Mr. William Donnelly and Miss Anna Meyer were united in marriage at St. Augustine's church, Rev. Thomas Meyer officiating. The bride was attended by her sister Mary and the groom by T. E. Glennon of Peru, Indiana. The groom is one of Rensselaer’s moSt esteemed and popular young men, and is a member of the Donnelly Bros, firm, which is one of the most enterprising business firms of our city. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Meyer of this city and for several years past was in the dressmaking and millinery trade with her sister Mary, in which they were successful. The high esteem in which the bride and groom are held was manifested by the large number of people who gathered at the church to witness the marriage rites. A sumptuous dinner was given for the near relatives and friends of the contracting parties, at the home of the bride’s parents, on the corner of South Front and Work streets. In the evening a reception was given, at which about 70 young people were hospitably entertained. They received a large number of very beautiful and useful presents. The newly married couple have gone to housekeeping in their new home, which the groom lately purchased and tastefully fitted up for his bride on Forest street. The Democrat joins with their host of friends in wishing success and happiness to Mr. and Mrs. Donnelly. LARSH-RARNES. Mr. J. A. Larsh, proprietor of the City Drug Store, who came here from Remington a few months ago, and Miss Maud Barnes, formerly employed in the telephone office of the Jasper County Telephone Co., were married at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Barnes, at Frankfort, Ind., last Sunday afternoon.
