RYCE & WALMSLEY,
ANTON MAYER and Sophie Miller were married Tuesday evening. Anton owns the big brewery. Sophie is a sister of the genial Joe Miller, at Rippetoe's. The marriage ceremony was per' formed by Rev. Conrad, at St. Benedict's Churoh, at seven o'clock. A private re caption and supper was had at the real denoe of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Kennedy, on North Seventh street. Mrs. K. is sister of the bride. Then the Governor Guard escorted the bridal party to Dowling Hall, where another reeeptlon was had. The groorn gave the Loan ex hibltlon one hundred dollars to get out of his way. The Ringgold Band played music by the way. An artillery salute was fired as the procession passed. Hun dreds of people lined the streets. At Dowling Hall several friends dropped in to congratulate. About twelve hundred Seven hundred bottles of wine were drank. Fifty-six eight gallon kegs of beer were tapped. The liquids freely flowed. J. G. Heinl decorated with plants and flowers. Scudder spread the supper. It was his best effort. Ten va rieties of meats. Other edibles on the same scale. Speeches were made byE P. Beauchamp, W. E. McLean, William Mack, Philip Schloas, John T. Scott Col. Cookerly and the groom. Beau champ and Schloss shot it at them in German. The presents were many oostly and appropriate. The Msenner chor sang. And they danced. At mid night the Light Artillery fired a salnte of ten rounds. The wedded pair then went to housekeeping in an elegantly decorated and furnished home on Swan street, near the brewery. Ryoe A Walmsley put on the paper and E. Harvey put in two of the finest chamber sets—one of the Queen Anne style and one of East Lake pattern—ever sold la this- city. Happy Hearts. Wedded wealth. Big Brewery. Gorgeous gath ering. Popular pair. "Here's to their good healths. May they live long and been happy!"
THE Wabash scratches will afflict the voters of this municipality to a surprising degree, next Tuesday. We hazard the prophecy that fewer straight tickets will be cast at the polls than have been known for twenty years. It is very apparent that no one of the three parties will have absolute control of the city the coming year, and a large number of voters have determined to vote lor the best men, regardless oi party.
ALBERT B. AUSTIN, brother of A. G. and W. W. Austin, of this city, died at his home in Paris, Ills., Sunday afternoon. He was thirty-six years of age, and has been a prominent business man of that city for many years. He had just served a term of two years as alderman, and his courteous deportment and genial manners gave him great popularity. He leaves a wife and two small children. ,, .,
CONDOR CAMPBELL, foreman of T. B. John's lumber yard, died very suddenly Saturday night, of heart disease. He was in his usual health and had been down town purchasing some groceries. He returned home at nine o'clock, and was in the act. of blacking his boots, when he fell to the floor. He lingered until two o'clock, in the morning when death came. He was sixty-five years old and had beep in Mr. John's employ twenty-five years. He leaves a wife and three children.
JOHN G. HEINL'S elegant floral hall and conservatory, on the corner of Eight and Cherry streets, is at this time an exceedingly attractive place. It is open day and night, and is visited daily by many ladies and gentlemen, both of this city and the surrounding towns. He has five large houses full of choice plants and the largest and finest stock of roses in the west. These be sells at from $1.50 to $6 a dozen, and everything else low in proportion. For his enterprise in this direction be deserves the most liberal patronage, which we are glad to learn he is receiving.

When Madame Grundy "did the town," Ail dressed up in the fashion, The style In which she'd trtmmed the gown
Put ladies in it passion. The dear ones followed her around, They gazed upon her bonnet, They walked on tip toe, and were bound
To see the trimmings on it. They stole the pattern of her dress, Tney counted all the buttons, Her gems and diamonds, I'll confess,
They looked upon like gluttons Her gloves they viewed with special care, Her ties aud laoesalso They noticed how she wore her hair (They vowed that it was false, though.) Then suddenly she turned around,^ »,

The musical societies of this city oom posed of the Maennercbor, the Cecilia Qesangverein, and Oratorio society have been laboring for months pa.st to make this festival a historical event for Terre Haute.

MISS FANNIE KELLOGG. This talented vocalist, well known during her early triumphs, in this city, will sing for the Stengerfest next month, She is the reigning favorite in Boston, her present home. Dwight's Journal of Music says:
Miss Kellogg has developed wonderfully as as artisiic singer, during the past year. Her voice has gained in volume, in evenness, in sweetness and in suHtenuto. She seems to be wholl drawn in the direction of sound ati(3 noble music, and bids fair to become, indeed she is already, oneof its best interpreters among us. Such tasks as these two Handel Arias seldom lind a singer better prepared to cope witb them. The recitative from "Judas" was declaimed in a large and noble style, and the air "From Mighty Kings," was brilliantly delivered. We have before spoken of her artistic and expressive singing of "As When the Dove." It was equally line this time, sung, not as before with orchestra, but with the truly Handelian lianoforte accompaniment which Mr. )resel had developed from the score.
The Boston Herald says of her: First and prominent mention of these artists is due to Miss Fanny Keliogg, who completely surprised the audience and carried it by storm, her magnificent rendering of ber role proving that the soprano soloist for oratorio performances, who has been so eargerly sought for elsewhere, may, in future, be found at home, unless other cities shall offer superior inducements to her.
