An Ampieious Wedding.
The Presbyterian church Thursday
was the scene of one of the most
brilliant weddings ever consummated
in the city, and Mr. Frank Richardson
and Miss Ella Wright were joined in
the holv bonds of matrimony, in the
presence of several hundred invited
guests.
The church was beautifully deco
rated with roses of all colors, Easter
lilies, siuilax, leru and sweet peas
Promptly at eight o'clock the bridal
march commenced, to the sweet
strains of "Mendel-sobo's Wedding
March.'' which was played inacbarm-
iug manner bv Miss Antonio Kessler.
The procession was led by Misses II at

and groom, while Misses Mabel Hayes,
Nettie Morgan, Fannie Ricbey and
Manota Eikenbary, the remaining
ushers, brought up the rear. The
Hcere was a very entrancing one, and
Hie bride, dressed in white Moire silk,
with u white bridal veil, and the groom
in conventional black, made a hand
some picture. At the altar the solemn
and impressive words were eloquently
spoken by Rev. Dr. J. T. Baird, and
the procession retraced their step
to the church entrance, from
whence the party were conveyed to
the residence of Llewellyn Moore,
where congratulations were bestowed
upon the happy couple.
The newly-wedded couple, accom

Judge Maker Miuwii No Merry to the De

Last livening' JIuslcale ut
the Presbyterian Church.
Omaha, Neb., May 10. Special to
Tins Daily Journal Henry Bolln,
the ex-city treasurer of Omaha, who
was convicted of embezzling $105,000
of the city's funds, was taken before
Judge Baker this morning and sen
tenced to nineteen years' imprison
ment in the state penitentiary. He was
also fined $211,000, twice the amount
of his embezzlement.
The punishment fixed by law is a
penitentiary imprisonment of from
one to twenty-one years and in ad
dition a fine equal to the amount of
the embezzlement found by the jury to
have been made, or the court may, in
its discretion, place the fine at double
the amount of the embezzlement.
Bolln was refused a new trial yes
terday by Judge Baker. The sentence,
although quite severe, gives general
satisfaction, and Judge Baker is to be
commended for his action in the mat
ter.
None Were Injured.
Whatrnigbt have been a serious dis
aster as a result of an accident was oc
casioned by the breaking of a single
tree to a' carriage behind the grey
team belonging to ex-Mayor Ricbey
just after the shower Saturday.
The carriage contained Frank liichey,
who was driving, and Misses Kitte
Hartigan of Hastings, Annie Heisel
and Bertie Houseworth of Lincoln.
As the carriage was driven over the
crossing at Tenth street from Wash
ington avenue, a single-tree snapped
and the team bolted, dropping the
tongue, which ran into the ground,
suddenly stopping the carriage and
oversetting it, spilling its occupants
into heap. The team was further
frightened, pulled away from the
driver and ran a block or two down
the avenue before they were caught.
The occupants of the carriage pulled
themselves up out of the mud and
things, and after shaking out their
dresses, Mr. Kichey and the girls
found themselves more frightened
than hurt. In fact none of them,
fortunately, were injured, save that
the dresses of all of them were consid
erably covered with mud. That no
bunes were broken was most fortunate.
The team is one of the best in town.
and it soon got over its fright.

John Clark was arraigned in Justice

with burglarizing the barn of Daniel
Skinner, at Alvo, last March. The
prisoner entered a plea of not guilty,
and the preliminary examination was
commenced at once. Clark was repre

Lincoln, while county attorney Polk of L. Knickerbocker, near the park en-
appeared for the prosecution. Accord- trance, is all but ruined.

A Very Close Call.
Homer, the eleven-year-old son of
J.R. Sanders, may well thank bis
lucky stars that he is yet able to
breathe the atmosphere of this glor
ious land. Homer and a couple of
other bo)s a little older than himself
went up the B. & M . tracks Wednesday
on a hunting expedition. Passenger
train No. 11, due here at 5:05 p.m.,
was a few minutes late Wednesday,and
pulled out from the depot just as No.
s2. the flyei, was coming in from the
west. The boys were up in the yards
coming towards the depot and did not
see No. 2 coming up back of them.
Young Sanders stepped across the
track to avoid No. 11, when he ob
served the other train coming in on
the track on which he was standing.
The lad made a jump and succeeded
in clearing the engine, butthe baggage
car struck his right elbow, and he was
thrown a considerable distance. A
gash was cut in bis elbow and bis arm
and fingers were badly bruised, but ho
bones were broken, and he hurried
Lome, where bis wounds were Pressed,
The other boys saw the train in time
lo get out of tbe way.
Homer promised his parents that he
wouldn't stand on the track again,
flis narrow escape from a terrible
deith should serve as a warning to
'oiler boys to keep away from the
railroad tracks.

Ifelieied to lie a HarnessThlef.
Deputy Sheriff S. P. Holloway re
turned from Lincoln Saturday even
ing, having in custody one John Clark,
who is charged with having entered
the barn of Daniel Skinner, at Alvo,
on the 15th of last March and stolen a
double set of harness, valued at $20.
The prisoner was lodged in jail and
will probably have his preliminary
examination next Thursday before
Justice Archer.
It is believed that the state has a
good case against Clark. He was ar
rested in Lincoln the other day after
disposing of a double set of harness of
the same description as that stolen
from Skinner's barn. The harness
has been located and will be used in
evidence against Clark. Several wit
nesses from Lincoln and Alvo will be
present at the hearing Thursday.
Company Will Not Fay the Costs.
General Manderson was asked yes
terday morning if the B. & M. road
would agree to pay all the costs in
volved should the government dismiss
the land grant suits against the 3,500
Nebraskans who have acquired their
property through that road, that be
ing the condition of Attorney General
Harmon on which tbe government
would agree to a dismissal of the cases.
General Manderson replied that al
though bis company was exceedingly
anxious to have the cases against the
settlers dismissed, be thought it hardly
air that the company should pay tbe
costs. He said be should not agree to
that condition, and that he was at
present engaged in telegraphic com
munication with the authorities at
Washington as to what other basis of
settlement could be reached. Bee.
The Woman's Club MunW-ale.
The Presbyterian church was
filled Friday evening by an audi
ence composed principally of ladies,
tbe occasion being tbe last entertain
ment given by the local Woman's club
for this season. At eight o'clock the
program commenced with an organ
solo by Miss Antonio Kessler, and
that young lady admirably su3taine!
her well-earned reputation as a
musician. The nex,t number was a
vocal solo entitled "La Primerer,"
(which translated means "The Spring
time') by Miss Christian, a young
lady who will soon graduate from the
musical department of the Wesleyan
university at Lincoln. Miss Cbris
tian'a rendition of this beautiful song
was perfect, and her sweet soprano
voice completely captivated the audi
ence, tbe young lady being compelled
to respond to an encore. A vocal duet
by the Misses Ethel and Alice Dovey
also called for an encore. These
charming little songsters acquitted
themselves in their usual perfect man
ner, and were liberally applauded.
Prof. W. II. Skinner of Nebraska
City was then introduced by County
Superintendent Farley. The pro
fessor is a pleasant-faced, intelligent
looking gentleman, and the manner in
which he handled hissubject,"Reading
and How to Acquire the Art," showed
the result of careful and diligent study.

to the professor's lecture; he

Sheriff Holloway returned Saturday
from Denver, to which place he
journeyed in the hope of bringing back
to this city a man named John Ryan,
wanted here for a burglary committed
at the Goos house during the winter of
1S92-93. The sheriff reports that the
man arrested and held at Denver
pending bis arrival, answered in every
way to the description of the escaped
burglar, and the man himself admitted
that the description fitted him to a
gnat's eye, but said he could easily
prove an alibi. He claimed that he

marshal at Ashland, who notified
Skinner of the fact. Mr. Skinner at
once recognized the harness as belong
ing to him, and Clark was accordingly
arrested at Lincoln last week and
brought to this city. After hearing
all the testimony Justice Archer
bound the prisoner to the district
court under $500 bonds, on the charge
of burglary.

have sang before the titled nobility of

highest praises from the severest

there was generous applause for both

it increased for Mr. Bryan to the end.

blunders at which the crowd laughed
in derision, and once he made a remark
which was taken as personal reflection
on his opponent and a perfect storm of
hisses drowned his utterances, until
he became white in the face and ap
