ORANGE BLOSSOMS.

An Elegant Wedding— Johnson-Prescott. One of the most elegant weddinga that ever occurred in Terre Haute wa that of Miss Mattie Prescott at noon yesterday. Miss Prescott is the only and accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Prescott, ana has since her few years residence in this city, made a wide circle of admiring friends. Mr. John F. Johnson, the groom, is & wealthy banker at Logansport, and is the son of W. H. Johnson, president of the Logansport National bank. The ceremony took place at the bride's residence, 655 Eagle street and was performed by Rev. Corning, celebrating both the marriage and twenty-third birthday of the bride. The beautiful marriage service of the Episcopal church was used. There were no attendants, the bridal couple standing beneath a floral true lovers knot, suspended from the ceiling, during the ceremony. The lovely bride was mag' nificently attired in a white velvet dress, the body and train was of plain velvet and the front of embossed white velvet, trimmed in point lace pearls were the jewels. The trosseau is said to be the most elegant ever possessed by any Terre Haute bride. The presents were not displayed, but were numerous and costly. Only the most intimate friends and relatives of the family were present, among them from Logansport were, Mr. and Mrs, W. H. Johnson, father and mother of the groom, Judge and Mrs. Winfield, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Matthews, Mr. and Mrs. Ward, Dr. Adrien, Mr. Thos. Wilson and Mr. George Taber and from Chicago,Mrs. L. M.Dunii. The floral decorations throughout tbe house, furnished by Lawrence Heinl and arranged by Mrs. Heinl, whose artistic taste in flowers is always in demand, were the most elaborate and elegant ever seen in this city. Above the mantel was a four-leaf clover wrought in choice cut flowers the mantel was banked with pure white carnations in whioh in blue flowers was the monogram J. P., and on each end of the mantel were vases of rose buds. AJ1 the chandeliers were draped in srnilax and in fact every available space in the house was a bower of beauty and redolent with perfume. The wedding breakfast superintended by Mr. Taggart, included all the rare delicaces of the season. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson left on the 3:30 o'clock train in a special car with their Logansport friends, going directly to their home in Logansport, where they carry with them the hearty congratulations of a host of friends. A delicious supper was served on the car during the journey.

.- The Lareest Pumpkins. The two largest pumpkins ever raibc here are now in the GAZETTE business office. They look like great, big, yellow houses and were carted in by Wm. Dinkle, whose garden produced them. If you want to see 1,000 pies under one rind, cal land look at these pumpkins. They each weigh the same number of pounds.

A Brigadier Beaten.

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct.—General A. J. Smith, a union brigadier in the late war and now auditor of the city, was assaulted and badly beaten today by an irate contractor named J. C. Murphy. The

a camp meeting at Marshall, 111. No charge for admission will be made. A circular issued by the Adventists says: "The name Seventh-day Adventists" indicates the two leading doctrines of the people who bear it. The first part refers to the seventh day of the week, ^Saturday) which they observe as the Sabbath, and the term Adventists indicates that they believe in the soon coming of the Savior from heaven." The history of this people covers a per. *d of less than forty years.

The program for the day is as follows and it will be observed that the rising is done and the "prayer and conference" meeting is held at a most "gee-whillikin' early hour:

Smith tried to pacify him, but without effect, and then tried to put him out. Murphy seized the general by the throat and jammed his head through a glass door and pounded him until he was almost senseless. Murphy was arrested.

THE CORN CROP.

What a Prairieton Township Farmer bays. James W. Harlan, one of the largest farmers of Prairieton township, has been carefully examining his corn and finds that the yield will be fully »nethird less than he had every reason to expect it would be a month or so ago. It has not filled out as was expected and the yield will on this account be much less than previous estimates. He thinks what is true of his corn is true of pretty much all in this section and his idea is that when the corn comes to be gathered it will be found that although the areage is larger than last year there will be no more corn. The GAZETTE would be glad to hear from others of its farmer readers as to the condition of the crop on their farms.

»has so modified the original plans for the government building in Terre Haute as to admit of an iron roof being substituted for a wooden one. They represented to him the necessity of the building being fire-proof and the desirability of having so imposing a structure covered with something more durable than the roof provided for in the original plan. Up to the present time it has been the settled purpose of the department to carry out the original plan and finish the building without any modification whatever. But on the presentation of the facts of the case to him and upon their urgent solicitation the change already mentioned was agreed upon. Superintendent Havens will return to Terre Haute the last of the week.M^'

I. B. & W. Wreck.

Rev. Breeden, an account of whose experience in the I. B. & W. wreck near Bloomington a few mornings ago was published in the GAZETTE, tells the following funny story: "There was a fat man in the smoker which I took because I could not get a berth, who sat opposite me and had evidently not traveled much. He stopped several persons and asked them if we were not going at an awful rate of speed and was very nervous all night. When the truck under the engine broke and the train was pitched over an embankment I was awakened from a sound sleep by the crashing of glass and breaking of timbers. I found myself pitched across the car with my head planted squarely in that fat man's stomach. As soon as he could recover himself he said: 'I knew it was a comin' I've been looking for it a half hour!' *1

ROBBED ON A TRAIN.

fIR.

"This morning a party mostly composed. of people from Rockville, started for California over the & St. L. road. The fare is $52.50. The party expect to mate their homes in California. They only travel in day time, the cars which they occupy being sidetracked at night. Three special cars were put on number' nine here. More of the party will be picked up along the road. The following are the names of the persons leaving here this morning: Jas. A. Allen and wife, Edgar Allen, Frank Allen, Homer Allen, Mamie Mull, Robert Tyffe, Alfred Marsh and Paul Tate. Dr. Mull will go as far as Kansas City with the party. The above are all from Rockville. Geo. A. Brown and Mrs. Milo Sheldon are of this city.

An Important Decision.

An important case' was decided by Judge Allen Monday. The facts of the case are as follows: In March 1884, Aaron Roberts (colored) leased of widow Roberts (colored) a large farm for two years at $500 per year. The lease provided that the leesee should not sublet the farm to iany one unless by written consent from widow Roberts. Aaron Roberts took sick and was unable to work the farm so he sub-let it. On July 1st Mrs. Roberts married a man in this city by the name ef Washington. Through him she was induced to bring suit for ejectment on the grounds that he had broken the contract. The case was decided in favor of defendant and he was given possession until the expiration of the contract.

Serious Runaway.

Harlow Jones, a farmer living near the river in Prairie Creek township,started for Prairieton lant Sunday evening in a buggy, accompanied by a young lady, Miss Lizzie Robertson by name. The horse got scared at the cement barrels that were brought to Greenfield bayou to fix the sewer, and ran away and fell from the grade a distance of about fourteen feet drawing the buggy after it and smashing it to splinters. Thq young lady when found was under the buggy and Mr. Jones was thrown into the river aud nearly drowned. Neither party were badly hurt. The road is in a bad condition there. There is not good room for one wagon. The commissioners should look after this.

ff Double Wedding- at St. Mary's. A valued correspondent from St. Mary's sends the GAZETTE a lengthy account of the double wedding at St Mary's of Wm. A. Michael and Miss Elizabeth Dermody and Phillip Murphy and Miss Louise Holland. Rev. Father Richie performed the ceremony. It was a very pretty affair and was witnessed by a very large crowd as all four of the young people are highly esteemed. The reason the account is not printed in full is because the wedding occurred on September 29th, too long jigo to be of value to a daily correspondence time, please.
