M GRAW-- CRAWFORD Wedding Monday Evening Most Elaborate in History of The City. GUESTS NUMBERED 28 INTIM- ATE FRIENDS AND RELATIVES. Bride and Groom Left on Extend- ed Tour in Adirondacks and on Atlantic Coast. Monday evening at nine o’clock Mr. Frank U. McGraw and Miss Regina Gibbons Crawford were united in marriage at the resi- dence of the father of the bride. Onlyafew invitations were issued the relatives and immediate friends of the family filling the entire list. It was one of the smartest and prettiest weddings that society in Bemidji has hitherto known. The decorations of the drawing room, while ex- quisitely simple, were exceeding- ly beautiful and appropriate, and the ceremony in these surround- ings was exquisitely ' touching and solemn, At nine- o’clock preciscly all the guests had assembled and the bridal party slowly made its en- trance from the upper hall to the East drawing room where an arch of ferns, in which electric bulbs were skillfully imbedded, was erected. Two prie-dieux had been placed beneath this arch for the convenience of the bride and groom. As soon as the ush- ers, Messrs. E. H, Jerrard and Edward T. Crawford had stretch- ed the usual white satin ribbons to their full length, the strains of the Lohengrin march heralded the coming of the bridal party. The Very Reverend Doctor Thomas J. Gibbons, uncle of the bride, the Reverend Philip Mur- phy, late rector of St. Phillips Church, Bemidji, and the Rever- end Patrick Shea of Benson, Minn,, entered, robed in the vestments of their sacred office, and took their positions behind the prie-dieux and under the arch. As the music changed its tempo the groom, attended by his best man, Mr. John R. Lenox of Minneapolis, followed. And then slowly down the stairs and across the hall came Miss Leah Berman in an-ecru gown bearing very gracefully a shower bouguet of pink carnations and ferns, the gift of the groom. She was fol- lowed by Miss Emma Judd, of Duluth, who wore ecru lace over pale blue silk, and who also car- ried a yery exquisite bouquet. Miss Judd was a pupil with Miss Crawford, now Mrs. McGraw, at the Visitation Convent at St. Paul. She was succeeded by Miss Maude Crawford, who wore ecru mousseline de soie, with her arms filled with mal maison carnations, Again the tempo changed and little Miss Jean McLean Morri- son, bearing a sheaf of roses de scended the stairs very grace- fully, followed by the bride on the arm of her father. The bride wore an exquisite grown of silk mulle and Valencienne lace en train, Her ornaments were pearls, the gift of the groom; she carried a shower bouquet of bride’s roses. custom, but yery much in the recent fashion, her long Tulle veil was fastened by pearls with- out the usual wreath of myrtle or orange blossoms. It was gener- ally concluded that Miss Craw- ford never seemed more hand- some or stately. As soon as the two groomsmen Messrs. Alphonse L. Crawford and George E, Pickett had joined the best man at the end of the semi circle in front of the officiat- ing clergymen, the Etude of Eberhardt, played for the first timeat a wedding, softly filled the room, and the ceremony be- gan, The Very Reverend Doctor Gibbons, ina musical voice,which at times showed his emotion, spoke to the bride and groom a few words. s The ceremony”of the Gatholic Church was then celebrated very impressively and as the last Ainen was uttered, the orchestra rendered the famous Mendels- sohn Wedding March, and the recessional began to these finely Contrary to the|=— State Engineer Abercrombie and Crew :of Surveyors Begin (perations.

Mr, Abercrombie stated to the Pioneer last night that the drain- age survey would be run from Farley through to International Falls, on the Rainy riyer, and that the swamps in this section would be drained northward un- less a more suitable course to conduct the surplus water were found. 'Of |course the small swamps on the south side of the continental divide will naturally drain into the Mississippi river, but the large | swamps in north- ern Beltrami and Itasca county will flow into the Rainy. Mr. Abercrombie could tell little at the present time as to how much work could be accomplished this fall, but he stated that operations would be pushed as fast as pos- sible. “How long it will take to complete the survey,” said Mr. Abercrombie, ‘“can not even be estimated, as there may b ob- stacles tint are unforseen at the present time and it may be nec essary to change our plans sev- eral times before the work is finished.” rendered strains. The tastefully arranged lights, the fresh and fragrant banks of ferns, the grace and beauty of the bride and her attendants made a beauti- ful and touching picture.

Townsite Company Will Appeal to Secretary of Interior. News has been received from Washington that Acting Com- missioner Fimple of the general land office has decided adversely to the Beaudette Townsite com- pany and Homesteader Cathcart in their contention for the land upon which that flourishing vil- lage is located™ near the Minne- sota-Canadian line. The decision holds that the land in controversy belongs to ithe Minnesota & International Railway company by virtue of an act of Congress giving the company certain grants in the event of its filing its maps of definite location and cowpleting its main line within a given period. The railroad company fultilled these conditions, and hence gets the first decision. An appeal has been taken by the townsite company and Cathcart direct to the secretary of the interior. Cathcart .was the original secttler on the land before it had been opened for settlement. After it was opened there were other entries made and a fierce fight over pessession ensued. It was during this period that Matt Gannon was ~1shot and killed. The townsite people contend that all the railway company is “ientitled to is an easement and right of way. The case was tried a year ago before the Crookston land office. Andrew A. Warfield, W. H. Roberts, E. E. McDonald, John M. Richards, Walter - A. Gould, {W. R. Morrison, W. Kline, Graham M.

It was learned here that the convention will make the following demands: “First—A recognition of the miners’ union by the coal operaters, the rec- ognition to take the form of a signed agreement. “Second—The = substitution of an eight-hour workday for the nine-hour workday awarded by the strike com- mission, which is now in force throughout the hard coal fields. “Third—An increase in pay over the minimum wages now paid to men and boys who are not contract miners but are generally elassed as unskilled lanar ““Fourth—A uniform scale of wages for workers not actually miners at all collieries.” The contract miners number about 30,000 in the total of 140,000 hard| coal worlkers in and about the mines. If the Shamokin convention obtains concessions as outlined in the fore- going schedule of demands it would mean large additional expenditure by the coal companies annually in in-| creased fvages.
