Pretty Home Ceremonies, as Was That of Miss Hoover and Mr. John- son—Interesing Notes. The fund being raised under the auspices of Encampment No. 69, Union Veteran Le- gion, of this city for the erection of a hand- seme iron fence around the graves of the twenty-four dead seamen of the battle ship Maine, buried at Key West, is rapidly near- ing the $1,000 mark, and it is confidently ex- pected by Major Frank A. Butts, secretary aré treasurer of the encampment commit- tee in charge of this work, that this sura will be exceeded» when all returns are made. A pretty home wedding was that last evening of Miss Amy Rogers Balch, daugh- ter of Rear Admiral George Beale Balch, U. 8. N., and Mr. Malcom Kenneth Gordon, son of Dr. D. C. Gordon of this city. The ceremony was performed at the residence of the bride's father, 1708 Nerth street, Baltimore, by the Rev. G. W. Lay, the bride's brother-in-law, assisted by the Rey. C.
