William Neilson’ McVicker, rector of the fashionable Episcopal Chnreh of the Holy Trinity, at the iful home of the bride’s parents on South Broad street. The fact that the wedding was celebrated in Lent was not allowed to detract from the briliiance of the occasion. THE BRIDE'S GowN. The bride's gown was of rich white satin, made in simple fashion, with a flounce of point lace across the foot of the skirt. The corsage was slightly opened at the throat and_filled in with lace, which matched in pattern the point- lace veil.’ She wore the groom's gift—a mag- nificent tiara of diamonds made in the shape of fleur de lis—and other jewels of immense value. Her bouquet was of orchids, valley lilies and orange blossoms. The splendid train of the wedding dress was supported by pages. ‘The bridesmaids were if Mass” Gra m, sister of Mr. Orme “Wilson, whose isa sis- ter of young Mr. Astor; Miss Beatrice Chapman, and Soda.

He Believes That He Can Repel the Chilian Insurgents, Panis, Feb. 17.The (aulois today publishes | bi a dispatch which states that the Chilian revolu- tionists have defeated the government forces at Quillotta and Coquimba. The same dispatch reports the insurgents as rapidly increasing in numbers and advancing upon Santiago de Chili, the capital. Only a few towns, the dispatch continues, remain loyal to the Chilian govern- ment. The movement of government troops is greatly retarded by the destruction of the rail- ways by the revolutionists. In the capital President Balmaceda is well supported and is said to feel confident of his ability to repel the ingurgonts. Apprehensions are felt that the effects of the revolt will prove disastrous to the financial and commercial interests of the coun- try. During the course of a fight at Tarapaca the mines at that place were set on fire and after- ward flooded in an attempt to subdue the flames. The German miners employed in the mines fled into the interior. ‘The work of destruction is supposed to have been done by a landing party from an insurgent war vessel. At Caronal the coal depots have been pillaged by insurgent sailors sent ashore to procure coal for rebel war ships.. — CAUSED BY! WRONG SIGNALS.

BURIED AT ARLINGTON. ‘The Funeral Largely Attended—Honors Paid by Both Army and Navy to the Memory of the Naval Hero—An Imposing Procession— Services at the House. With all the honors a nation could pay its heroic dead, with sorrow-tinged pomp and cir- cumstance, amid the grief-speaking silence of « reverent multitude, the remains of Admiral David Porter were this afternoon conveyed from the home in which he so long resided, through crowded streots, to that green spot where ad- miral and cabin boy are equal, where the dis- tinetions of rank molder into dust and perish. Toestimate the number of those who watched the funeral procession would be almost impos- | din’ sible, but it is safeto say that more than one-third of the city's population saw the cortege move. From before 1 o'clock H street between and 18th streets was lined with a solid mass of humanity. Black and white seemed to be about equally represented and a more than fair proportion of the ‘assemblage was of the fominine gender. The street was kept clear for a time by the active efforts of Lieut. Guy and a force of officers from various precincts, but the sidewalks were filled to their utmost capacity with the curious or sympathetic. ‘When the sun shone—which it occasionally did—there were two elangated and irregular columns of men and women; when it rained— something that happened every little while— there were two great rows of umbrellas that bobbed up and down as their owners either tried to move or endeavored to retain a desir- able position. Everybody wanted to get as near as possible to the Porter mansion and a great many people did not seem tocare how they got there. From about 1:30, those who had been invited to the house came in almost unbroken succession. THE MARINES AS A GUARD. At the door a sergeant of marines was on duty in all the smart array of blue with Sellow epaulettes, chevrons and facings, pipe- clayed Delt and spotless gloves. Ten natty blue-jackets were in two squads on each side of the steps, wl from the entrance to the curb stretched two lines of men who wore blue jackets in the days of war—men who were at New Orleans and in other and more dangerous service on the muddy and corpse-Inden Mississippi of a quarter of a century ago. ‘There were members of naval Post, No. 10, of Philadelphia; the subdivision of the Grand Army of the Republic of which Admiral Porter was a member. Across the street and — the curb was Burn: side Post, No. 8, of this city, which y was acting’ as escort for the Quaker city sailor boys. Burnside Post had Personal interest in the occasion, for it was by eight or ten of its members—acting for Naval Post, No. 10—that the Admiral was mustered into the Grand Army. ‘The arrival of distinguished personagés con- tinued with great rapidity from 2 ¢'clock. Em- inent soldiers and sailors and men who had been fighters twenty-five years ago but who had since achieved reputation in more peaceful but no less honorable lines of endeavor, mingled in the stream that moved steadily towa: the room in which the old sailor had been laid. Diplomats, too, numerous. Prominent among the atriv: Were about a score of the Pennsylvani National Guard staff officers, headed by Gens. Snowden and Gobin. Shortly after 2 o'clock the street was taken possession of by the Marine Corps—a symphony | in blue. They formed in line facing to t fouth and immediately in front of Burnside ont. r CROWDS OF SPECTATORS. Every window in the vicinity was crowded with spectators, and not a foot of avail- able spaco remained unused. Seventeenth street, from Pennsylvania avenue to Farra- gut Square, was filled with vehicles, save at the crossings and when the procession commenced to form there was of necessity a good deal of confusion, the carriage which was first needed fenetally being the furthe away. méylvanin avenue was bus though the greater width reliev: ion of such overcrowding as was apparent on H street.

The family of the admiral then passed reverently around the casket for a final look at their dead and then Undertaker Gawler quickly and deftly re- placed the lid and eight strong sailors from the receiving ship Dale went into the room and took out ibe body in its purple, flower-decked case, into the street, where it was ted by the strains of “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” from the Marine Band, stationed down toward 18th street.

An Important Presbyterian Body Finishes Ite Work in This City. Last evening the Presbyterian assembly com- mittee finally adjourned. It has been in ses- sion in this city for the past eleven days. Last fall the committee held a mecting in Pittsburg, which continued through ten days, eo that it hae been in session altogether twenty-one days. Its work, which was assigned to it by the general assembly of the Presbyterian church at the last meet- ing, is finished. As is well known this work was to consider the various recom- mendations made by the — presbyteries relative to the subject of the revision of the confession. The committee was formed on the basis of the constitn- tion of the Jast general assembly, and therefore two-thirds of its members were in favor of revision in some form and one-third Was opposed to revision. President Patton lead the minority and President Roberts of the Northwestern University, Chicago, who presided over the deliberations of the commit- tee, favored revisit he sessions of the com- mittee, however, in spite of the division of the membership into opposing parties, was entirely harmonious. Those gpposed | to revis- ion, recognizing the" inevitable, yielded hen opposition would be fruitleas and en- deavored¥o render the changes proposed as slight departures as possible from the present forms. To BE MADE KNOWN AT DETROIT. The results of the works of the committee will not be made known until the. next meeting of the assembly in Detroit, when the Teport willl be submitted to that body. It will probably be accompanied with aresolution to refer the report at once to the several presbyteries for their action. The general assembly itself has no power to adopt the report. Such action requires the approval of two-thirds of the presbyteries. It is not likely that the cl roposed will become enacted into law for five or sx years yet, THE SESSIONS HERE. The sessions of the committee in the city were held at the Church of the Covenant. Their meeting here was upon the invitation of ex-Jus- tice William Strong, who is « member of the committee, and is also prominent in the Church of the Covenant. ‘Two meetings were held each day, the first beginning at 9 o'clock and ending at 1, the second at 2.30 and closing at 6. During the recess the members went to the Arlington, which was their headquarters, for lunch. The evening was devoted to committee work. and then the vari- ous subcommittees met and discussed the subjects referred to them and re- ported to the full committee the next day. e room occupied in the church building was one of the Sabbath school rooms in the second “ ec windows 1 Out on Natreet. ‘Here the inembers at at & number of small tables supplied with Writing material.

The committee, it is understood, have de- cided to recommend the addition of two new chapters, one devoted to a statement of God's love and the other to the gospel. While of course nothing positive can be said r relative to the report yet it is understood that no radical departure is recommended. SOCIAL ATTENTIONS. During the stay of the members of the com- mittee in this city they were the recipients of ® good many social attentions. The President, Secretary ter General Strong gave a tea in their honor. Gardiner G. der Hubbard and Rev.

The republicans in the House propose to pase the shipping bill if they can, but there does not seem to be much chance of sue- cons. The object of the resolution adopted in the republican caucus last night, urging the attendance of absent republicans is to guard against any move on the part of the democrats that might cause an extra session. At this late hour of the session, im the absence of a quorum of republicans, the dewo- crats have it in their power to dictate practi- cally what is to be done. Anything whi Qppowe earnestly enough to tilibuster againat can defeat.
