Several Pretty Weddings Here and Elsewhere—Other Interesting Gossip—Personal Notes. Mrs. Stevenson and daughters, with Mrs. Louis Stevenson, Mrs. and the Misses Scott, left yesterday for Charlestown, W.Va., where the early summer will be spent. The place was selected because the health of Miss Stevenson required vigorous mountain air and the quiet of the country. This latter fact was really the strongest factor, too, with Mrs. Stevenson, who desires to have wholesome country surroundings and enjoy a nice, restful time with her daughters. The Vice President will visit his family at frequent intervals until the adjournment of Congress, when they will be able to accept the other invitations which have been ex- tended to them from so many sources. The wedding of Miss Nina Price, the adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Cooper Price of Toledo, Ohio, to Mr. Henry Dodge Tichenor, son of Col. George C. Tichenor, who was assistant secretary of the treas- try under President Harrison, took place yesterday at noon at No. 82 Irving place, New York, where the parents of the groom live. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Everard Kempshall, D. D., of Eliza- beth, N. J., @ friend of the bride’s adopted Parents. It was intended to have the wedding at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Price, in Toledo, but owing to the ill health of Col. Tichenor, and as he was unable to take the trip west, it was decided best for the bride to come on to New York. The ceremony was very simple. There were no ushers, bridesmaids or best man. The bride has had rather a romantic, career. When a child of six she was legal- ly adopted by Mr. Price and his wife, who came across her in a mission which Mr. | Price had founded in Toledo, and in which he still takes a very great interest. After her legal adoption several attempts were made to get possession of the child by a ‘women who claimed to be her mother, but these attempts were abandoned. After a trip to the mountains, Mr. and Mrs. Tichenor will return to New York. Mr. George Wakefield Montgomery and Miss Grace Pinkney White, daughter of Mr. J. L. White, were married yesterday after- noon at Trinity Church, corner 3d and C streets northwest, the Rev. Dr. Addison offictatirg. The ushers were Messrs. T. Ross, W. Seltz, G. Johnson, L. Delano, E. Lycett and Robert Howard, while the best man was Mr. William Boag. Mr. and Mrs. Montgcmery left on the limited for New York, where they witl remain a few days, after which they will go to Newburyport, Mass., to visit. the groom's relatives. In- vitations were issued: to several hundred the church was well filled. The bride wore @ gown of white organdie over white satin, and carried a bouquet of roses. On their return Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery will be at home at Takoma Park. The wedding of Miss Antoinette A. Eng- land and Mr. J. Clark McKercher took = Wednesday evening last at the resi- lence of the bride’ father, Mr. Job W. Angus, 1342 T street northwest. Rev. John H. Elliott of -he Church of the Ascen- sion officiated. The bride's gown was of y silk, trimmed with duchess lace. Her uquet was of La France roses. The par- lors were elaborately decorated with potted plants. The company present was limited to relatives. Mr. and Mrs. McKercher left on a late train for a northern trip, and when they return will reside with the bride's grandfather. | Nellie Masterson, relatives and friends, and despite the heat ST.

The Act Making It so Signed by the President. The President last evening signed the bill making Labor day a nativnal holiday with- in the District of Columbia. His prompt action on this bill is due to the personal efforts of Representative Cummings of New York, the author of the measure. He took it to the White Hovse and personally presented it to the President for his signa- ture. The President signed it without a/ moment's hesitation, and gave the pen used in so doing to Mr. Cummings, with the un- derstanding that should be forwarded to/ Mr. Goumpers, president of the American | Federation of Labor, as a souvenir of the event. —+_~+-2-+_. Land Selections. A number of land selections were ap- proved yesterday afternoon by the Secre- tary of the Interior. Amorg the lists was | one to the Northern Pacific Railroad Com- pany, embracing 1,287,635 acres, in North Dakots; oas to the Southern Pacifie Compa- | ny tn Caliiornia, embracing 44,900 acres, and another to the No-tnern Pacitic Com- i daughter of the late John L. Kidwell, was made the defendant in two suits filed by | her mother, John W. and Julius Lake Kid- j wel. and Ida West Hyde and George A. j Hyde. In one of the suits Mr. Justice Mar- tin F. Morris of the Court of Appeals is made a defendant with Mrs. McCahill. The j object of both suits is to declare certain j trusts, for the appointment of trustees and } to restrain the defendants from asserting j certain claims. In the first suit, in which Mrs. McCahtll | tg the sole defendant, the complainants al- | lege that on the guth of April, ISSI, Fredk. W. Jones and John T. Mitchell held, as truetees, in trust for John L. Kidwell, ut forty acres of land west of Georgetown and between the canal and the river; that on that date the trustees, in consideration of $8,000, conveyed to the defendant an undi- vided one-fo: Part of the same, and that on the 16th of February, ISS, the said John L. Kidwell died intestate, leaving his widow and other the other complainants. It is further alleged that five days before his death the deceased made a certain paper writing, which was signed by him, his wife and his children, in which he disposed of his share in the Kidwell meadows, on the Potomac river, and his other property—one- third to Mrs. Kidwell and two-thirds, si and share alike, to the children, allowaz to be made for the payment to Mrs. McCa- hill for her daughter Aiauue of $10.0"). Sub- sequently the Kidwell meadows property was conveyed in urust to Judge Morris, and later to Mrs. McCahill. The complainants allege that serious differences have between them and Mrs.McCahiil, and.c ing thet the title to thé Kidwell meadows is still in Judge Morris, they instituted the second suit and pray as above s' 5 —_—_———. PUSHED OVERBOARD. This afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the fourth precinct police station, Coroner Woodward swore a jury of inquest to determine when, where and how Abraham Briscoe came to his death. The police knew ali about the man’s death, but it was necessary to hear the witnesses under oath in order to have a legal verdict rendered.
