Pan.ADBU'HiA, Jan. 16.—The strange aGgpieliaS been presented here of a cleran in a fashionable church joiaing ia|aarriage a father and daughter. The dls^ails have just bceome known, and the stoiy i3 now the chief topic ot society gossip. Invitations were issued to a large number of Philadelphia's most fashionable people, to be present at the Church of the Epipahny to witness the saarriage of Wilson Mitchell, a young gentleman well, known in society, to Misi Fanny Elizabeth Kessle r, daughter ot John JCessler, jr. At the hour named the spacious church was crowded to over flowing, and the assemblage was anxiously awaiting the arrival of the bridal party. Presently there was a whisper, which ran from the door to the chancel, that they had arrived. The rectsr of the church, the Rev. Q. 11. Eingsalving, who was to perform the ceremony, stood up and advanced !o the altar railings. The deep tones of tbe'organ pealed forth Mendelssohn's "Wedding March," the swinging doors at the foot of the central aisle swung open, tbe six ushers started slowly forward, and following them came the bridft, attired in traveling co.-tume, leaning On the arm of her father. The wed ding had been arranged on the u3uul

English style, and the bride was to be met at the chancel steps by the groom, attended by his best man. Eyes which had been fixed on the bride turn towards the door of.the vestry-room from where her prospective husband was expected to ly emerge, but the door was slightly closed and it gave no sign of opening. The or gau had ceased its music.

stood before the altar, and yet no Uus^tsfl4iiad odiifo forward to ehtim his bride.' The clergyman evidently did not understand the situation, though it was evident from the rustle of excitement which stirred the assemb'ed guests that they were only too well aware t.'iat something was wrong. The bride turned pale and clutched her father's hand convulsively, and the father's face grew scarlet in the suppressed excitement of the moment. Thtf awkwardness of the situation was increased when, in solemn and deliberate tones.Mr Kingsalving began to read the marriage service. He had mistaken the father for the groom and was about to marry him to his own daughter.

Bishop John Sharp* was elected Speaker of the House. Junius F. Wells,, aon of Daniel H. Wells, the First Councillor of tne Mormon Church, was. elected Chief Clerk. In the Council there are two bishops and one apostle. In the House, three bishops and three presidents of States of Zion. Arthur L. Thomas, Secretary. of the Teritory, administered the oath, with the addition that none were

polygamy and ne7er had been

The excitement Was intense. On every countenance was depicted a consciousness of the situation, yet no one spoke, and the clergyman proceeded .with the service. When at length he came to the words, "If any man can show just cause why they may not lawfully be joined togethar, let him now speak, or else hereafter forever hold his peace." There was a noise cutside, the door at the foct ot the nave was thrown violently open and Mr. Mitchell, attended by his best man, both nervous and excited, and both ashen pale, came rushing up the aisle. A few words sufficed to explain matters to the astonished clergyman. By some means the

VESTRY DOOR HAD BEEN LOCKED and the two gentlemen were thus prevented from making their entrance when the organ gave them their cue. In vain they tried to open it and had lost valuable time in the effort, When they finally abandoned the attempt it took them several minutes to get cut of the vestry and around to the other dobr. The ceremot was again begun and the wedding duly solemnized, but the shock which the young lady's nervous system received was severe, and for a time it was feared it might ba attended with serious consequences.

Preparations Already Being Made For His Trial Next Week.

In the Circuit Court this morning Judge Scott ordered a special venire of forty talesmen in the Manis c&e which is .set for trial to-mor-row week. Ten talesmen are ordered summoned each from Lost Creek, Otter Creek, Linton and Riley townships, the west side of the river, where the body of the murdered woman was found, beidff carefully avoided. From this venire of forty it is quite possible a jury can be selected. Yesterday Rev. Croftfc visited the prisonei at his cell and had quite a engthy interview with him. Nothing important resulted from the visit. It is said Manis is willing to plead guilty if he will be given a life sentence, but the authorities are not disposed to go into any agreement of that sort unless he makes a confession and gives away other parties whom they think had a hand in it.
