It seemed to be a case of love on both sides, and, though Miss Elver- son is but twenty-threesand he Is twice her years, each found in the other just the qual- ities suited for a marriage of true hearts and minds, The parents’ consent was a more difficult matter. Mr.Elverson Is a thorough American and had no desire to see his daughter marry a foreigner. M.Patenotre persisted and made his proposal as an American, There was no dot involved whatever. The groom is a wealthy man and has a large salary, is thoroughly democratic in his views, an un- usually modest man, who dislikes notoriety. Moreover, he is persistent. As a result, the father capitulated and the treaty of inter- national comity was agreed upon which was ratified today. The details of getting the proper authori- zation of the marriage took months, and a trunkful of documents were signed and sealed before the wedding day. The French government had to give its consent, dispensations had to be given, &c. The am- bassador is a Roman Catholic and the bride a Protestant. Hence the wedding was a quiet one, but there will be a round of gaye- tes in Washington when the newly wedded pair return. There were numerous handsome gifts from the friends of both parties. St. John’s Church was well filled today at noongby the friends gathered ‘to witness the marriage of Miss Elizabeth Gray Casey, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. Silas Casey, to Rev. Clarence Wyatt Bispham, rector of the Church of St. Michael's and All Angels. The ushers, who were kept busy until the arrival of the bridal party seating the guests, were Dr. Charles Bispham, Mr. McCandlish, Mr. Marcus May, Rev. Chas. Spalding, Mr. John Blair of New York and Mr. George Hewitt of New Jersey. Just before noon tlle surpliced choristers came in procession from the vestry singing an «n- them and stood in their places in the stalls until its conclusion. Then, reforming in procession, they went down the aisle to meet the bride, and preceded the bridal party to the altar, while they sang the al- Ways sweet and now quite familiar anthem, “The Voice That Breathed O’er Eden.’ After the choristers walked the ushers and after them the bridesmaids and the maid of honor, The bride came in church with her father, and at the chancel ralling was met by the groom and his best inan, Dr. Wm. Penn Compton. Bishop Paret offici- ated, assisted by the clergymen of St. John’s Church. The grouping of the cler- gymen and the bridal party made a most effective scene during the ceremony. The bride wore a very elegant gown of White bengaline richly trimmed with lace. The bodice had a yoke and the lower part of the sleeves were of lace. Her tulle veil was caught to her hair with a spray of lilies of the valley. She carried into -hurch a white-bound prayer book, from which the service was read, her maid of honor bring- ing for her the great bouquet of lilies of the valley that she carried out of the church. Miss Sophie Casey was the maid of honor, and the bridesmaids were Miss White of Staten nd, Miss Anna Scott, Miss Madge Levey of Elizabeth, N. JL, Miss Charlotte Evans, Miss Lulu Williamson avd Miss Mary Todd. They were all dressed alike in dotted white musiin made over white silk and the crush collar and belts were of white satin. They wore large Leg- horn flats, two trimmed in pink, two in yellow and two in red ribbons and flowers. They curried white-bound prayer books, from which they followed the service. The maid of honor, Miss Casey, was all in white, and the pretty little bonnet she Wore was made of white lilacs. As the bridal party retired from the church the choristers sang the Lohengrin wedding march. Prominent among those who wit- nessed the ceremony were the sroom’s father ang mother, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bisp- ham of New York. Others among the rela- tives and intimate friends present from out of town were Miss Dewees and Miss Wood of New York, Mr. Fred Collins, Mr. end Mrs. Levy of Philadelphia, Mr. Edward L. Perkins, Mr. F. H. Whipple and Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Lev of Philadeiphia, Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell Morehead of Pittsburg and Mr. G. Tucker Bispham and Mr, Dd- Ward Bispham of New York.

Relative to the amendment to the Mquor law submitted <o Congress by the Commis- sioners yesterday, and printed in The Star, the latter say, in explanation thereof: The amendment to section three of said! act so as to provide for the appointment of an asistant clerk to the excise board has | become an imperative necessity for the proper carrying out of the provisions of the act. The duties of the clerk to the excise board are such as to require his constant attendance upon the office, affording him no opportunity for the investigation of places where liquors are sold, as contem- plated by the law, and which ‘the Commis- sioners are authorized to order for the pur- | pose of determining whether the law and |Tegulations are being complied with. As such investigations are undoubtediy re- quired, in order to enable the Commission- ers to more efficiently enforce the require- nents of the statute, the appointment of an j assistant clerk for this purpose is earnestly recommended. | ‘The amendment to section fifteen so as to provide that prosecutions for violations of the law shall be upon the sworn informa- tion of one credible resident is recommended because of the frequent impossioility of se- is at 1447 MRSS | prescribed by the act, when the Commis- sioners have reason to suspect that the case is deserving of prosecution, —__-_ Death of Mr. A.

A Concert te Be Given, the Proceeds te Be Devoted to Charity. Owing to the very great pressure for ad- mission to the recent Moody and Sankey services in Convention Hall, largs numbers of persons desiring to hear the great choir were vnable to gain even an entrance to the building. Many more, aware of this condition, did not attempt to visit the ball. Accordingly, requests have been numer- cus for the chorus to arrange a comcert and thus afford an ity for the public to enjoy the music. To meet these demands, the director of the choir, Mr. Percy 8. Foster, has uppoint- ed an executive committee to carry out the Project at once. This committee consists of br. F. J. Wi F. A. Wilsoa, J. W. Somerville, Dr. M. D. Peck and Pliny M. Hough. The concert is to take place on Friday, a * ats = in = Convention Hall, and it is proposed to have a fine program of the sacred music sung by the choir dur- ing the Moody meetings, which will be in- terspersed with solos by some of the very best local talent. This feature will be a novel one, and as the price of admission is to be extremely popular, twenty-five cents, and the proceeds Cevoted to charitable pur- soses, it is expected that an immense audi- ence will be present. never seen such s chorus ct goer Dae ev such @ chorus in all his experience anywhere in the world. — next for lace tomorrow, Wednesday evening, at Piso o'clock, in the New York Avenio Pres- byterian Chureh.

From the San Francisco Chronicle. If the action of the elections committee is confirmed by the House, as it most likely will be, it will result in establishing a dan- Serous precedent in election cases. It is Proposed to seat English upon evidence which would not, under the circumstances, be received in any court of justice in the world. It is proposed to impeach the elec- tion returns and the very ballots upon which those returns are based, without any direct evidence of fraud and solely upon oral testimony of voters who were brought up to testify that they voted differently from the way their votes appeared in the daliot box and in the official canvass. This 1s something entirely new in contested elec- tion cases. It is utterly absurd and, as we dangerous in the extreme as a pre- cedent. The returns and cany showed the election of Hilborn by a plurality of thirty-three votes. A recount was ordered or rather obtained on the contest instituted under the act of Congress by English. In the Altamont precinct, in Alameda county, where Hilborn had a majority, a sufficient number of voters testified that they voted for English to change the result and elect English by a plurality of eight. There no proof of fraud. The election officers who handled the ballots and made the returns were partisans of English and testi- fiel that they voted for him. And ret, notwithstanding the entire absence of any proof of fraud and in the face of the re- turns, oral testimony is allowed to Impeach the record. It is a violation of every prin- ciple of evidence. If the elections es overthrown in this way it would » dificult, in the present temper of the try, to oust any member of Ce by the if Mr. Cleveland's seat had been a he would not stand the ghost of a chance. ss Silver Legislation in Germany.
