PRESIDING ELDER’S DEATH. Prominent Divine of M. E. Church South, Dies in Baltimore. 1 Correspondence of The Evening Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., November 5, 1898, Rev. George H. Zimmerman, presiding elder of Baltimore district of the M. E. Church South, died at his home, 923 Har- lem avenue, Baltimore, yesterday morning, after an illness of three weeks of pneu- monia. He had been ill since August, but was not considered seriously so until about three weeks ago, when the disease deyel- oped. Mr. Zimmerman was for several years pastor of the Methodist Church in this place. He was well known in this section of Prince George's and also in Montgomery county, where he had served several charges, among them Four Cor- ners and Colesville. Mr. Zimmerman, while here, not only made many freinds in his own congrega- tion, but was highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was sixty-one years of age and @ native of Baltimore county. He was educated at Dickinson College and entered the Methodist ministry when he was ad- mitted to the Baltimore conference, in 1866, though he had served as chaplain of a Vir- ginia regiment during the civil war. Early in his ministry he filled the pulpit of Old Bond Street Church and Wymens Chapel, now St. Paul's M. 8. Church, in Baltimore. He was later stationed; at various times, at the churches at/Piediont, W. Va.; Cum. berland, Md.; Moorefield, W. Va.; Easton, Md.; West River,,Md.; and this village. He was successively ‘presiding elder of Roanoke, Moorefield d Baltimore dis- tricts, having been transferred to the lat- ter by the conference which met at Hin- ton, W. Va., In April ofthis year. He was at the time of his death editor of the Balti- more Christian Adjvocate, the official organ of the Baitimore conference. Mr. Zimmerman entered the confederate service in Stuart’s Horse Artillery at the opening of the clyil wag, and participated in some of the flergest fighting during that struggle. He later became chaplain of the 12th Virginia Ri ent and was with Gen. Rosser in his desperate /pampaign in south- western Virginia, after’ "8 surrender at Appomatox. ‘ e is survived by three sons, Joshua 8., an attorney-at-law of Romney, W. Va.; Edgar R. A., a pharmacist of Baltimore, and George H., jr; a student at Romney. The funeral took place from the family homestead, “Lorraine,” in Baltimore coun- ty, today, the interment being made at Lorraine cemetery, Rev. Canter, presiding goer oe — fey Baltimore district, and . J. 8. ‘utchinson of Arli a ficiated. Rec The pallbearers were Rev. H. M. Whal- ing, Rev. W. S. Hammond, Rev. J. A. An- derson, Rey. J. Lester Shipley, Rev. D. H. Kern and Rev. Wm. Stevens, ministers of the Baltimore conference, Released on Personal Bonds. William M. Storch, indicted for false pre- tenses, was tcday released on his recognizance in the sum of $100, MARRIED AT HOME The De Sibour-Clagett Wedding To- day at Noon. LOVELY BRIDE AND PRETTY MAIDS Couple Will Go Abroad for a Two Years’ Stay. PERSONAL AND GENERAL ‘The marriage today at noon of Miss Mar- garet Clagett, daughter of Mrs. William Clagett, to Vicomte Henri de Sibour, was accompanied by many happy tokens of the affection in which the young couple are held by their relatives and the large circie of friends who afterward congratulated them on the beginning of their married life. The ceremony took plece in the diawing room of the Clagett residence, on 16th street, and its selection for the purpose gave three points at which the bridal picture could be seen—from the library and dining room, on either side, and the hall, through which the Procession passed. The drawing room was beautifully adorned with plants and waite voses and chrysanthemums. The mantel- piece before which the solemn ceremony took place was the keynote of the decora- tion. Maidenhair fern and asparagus vines were the basis, and amid the white blos- soms were lighted tapers, giving an altar- like effect. The flowers in the library were red roses and the autumn blossom, and in the dining room pink roses mingled with the foliage and vines. The groomsmen, all former classmates of the groom at Yale—Messrs. Brinkerhoff Thorn, Anson Phelps Stokes, Redmond Cross, Edward L. Trudeau and Dunn Mc- Kee of New York, Alexander Brown of Philadelphia ‘and George Howard and Cor- coran Thom of this city—entered first and formed single file on each side of the room. The bridesmaids came next. They were Miss Isabel Hagner, Miss Lindsey Poor, M Keats Rodgers, Miss Bessie Ashtor Miss Bessie Glover, Miss Margaret Cassels Miss Sophie Stanton of Philadelphia an Miss Nellie Soutter of New York. The maids of honor were Miss Gertrude Clagett and Miss Mabel Johnson, cousin ef the groom. The bride was escorted by her brother, Mr. William Clagett. Rev. Thomas 8S. Lee. rector of St. Mat- thew’s Church, performed the ceremony. Comte Louis de Sibour, elder brother of the groom, was best man. The Lohengrin wedding march was play- e1 as the bridal party entered the drawing room, Professor Gloetzner being at the organ and Miss Emelyn Bailey playing the violin. During the ceremony Miss Bailey played most exquisitely the ‘Angels’ Ser- enade.” Again these artists filled the house with melody as they rendered the Mendels- sohn wedding march as the bride and groom led the way to the library, where they received congratulations. They stood for this pleasing duty in the palm bower arranged in the tower window. The bridal party took breakfast together in an upstairs room. The table was pretti- ly adorned and an elaborate menu served. The wedding gown of this charming young bride was of white satin, made with youthful simplicity. The bodice was trimmed with point lace. A tulle veil and a _coronet of orange blossoms were worn. Her bouquet was of lilies of the valley, orchids and roses. The maids of honor wore very pretty dresses of cream-tinted lace over white. Their flowers were yel- low chrysanthemums, the same as carried by the bridesmaids. They wore short tulle veils and Prince of Wales feathers. The bridesmaids also wore veils and feathers, but their dresses of Irish point insertions in white net were worn with Louis XIV coats of brocaded white satin. A hand- somer group of attendants have rarely sur- rounded a prettier bride. The groom’s mother, Mme. de Sibour, Miss de Sibour, his sister, and other rela- tives were present. Among out-of-town guests were Dr. Morgan Dix, rector of Trinity Church, New York, and Mrs. Dix, Mrs. Ethan Allen, Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Thorne, Mr. Harry Kip, Mr. George Batch- eller, all of New York, and Mrs. Kinney of Cincinnati. Several hundred guests attended the re- ception, which lasted until the couple left for their wedding journey. They will sail for Europe next Saturday, and expect to spend the next two years in Paris, where Vicomte de Sibour will continue his studies in architecture, which is his chosen profes- sion, They will make a day’s visit to Mrs. Clagett before sailing. The bride's presents Increased in beauty and eiegance with each new addition, mak- ing as rich a collection as has been seen here this year. The British ambassador and Lady Paunce- fote were accompanied home last week by Miss Sibyl Pauncefote. Miss Lillian and Miss Audrey Pauncefote are in New York, the guests of Mrs. Wilson, and Miss Maud Pauncefote is visiting Mrs. Lorillard at Westchester.
