BARNES -
RIPPEY
Stanley, N.
Y. - The wedding of Mr. Luther Barnes and Miss Jennie
Rippey, youngest daughter of George O. Rippey, was consummated
last Wednesday evening. About sixty guests were present. The presents
were various and useful and amounted to about $300. The wedding was a
grand affair, and nothing to mar the occasion had it not been for some
unprincipled young men and boys who think it the height of honor to
make night hideous with tin pans and horns.

HATHAWAY - BEACH
Mr. Joseph Hathaway, of Farmington, and Mrs. Helen Beach, were
united in holy wedlock Wednesday, September 25, in Victor, at the
residence of the bride's parents. We are of the opinion that Joseph put
off his trip to the seaside rather late in the season, but he has the
pleasant reflection that he will have the beautiful Beach to
console him in the absence of the wide, wide sea. We hope his future
will fall in pleasant places, and that he and his accomplished bride
may find no breakers in their life's journey.

SOLOMON - JOSEPH
Residents of Middle and
Wadsworth streets were treated to a number of new sounds
and a variety of new dances last evening. The occasion was a marriage
in the Arabian colony, which has its headquarters in the Higgins block
at the corner of Middle and Wadsworth streets. The contracting parties
were Joseph Solomon and Mary Joseph. The ceremony was
performed at St. Francis de Sales
parsonage at about 9 o'clock and when the bridal party arrived home the
festivities were started in full swing. The music was
furnished by different members of the party on an instrument that
produced a sound which was a cross between a flute and the bag pipes.
The dances indulged in were also new to the crowd of spectators that
gathered around the windows. Everyone danced and the main object
of the dancers seemed to be to see who could hit the floor the hardest.
The party attracted so much attention that Officer McDonald was
detailed to see that the property in the neighborhood was not disturbed
and the presence of the policeman probably kept things quiet for the
only noise or disturbance was that caused by the music and the dancers.
The festivities were carried on until almost midnight.

on the 13th inst. Mr. Bond's new house had been got in readiness to
receive him and his bride, and on their arrival they were soon in full
possession. It is somewhat rare to commence housekeeping so soon after

case. We hope nothing will occur to mar their future happiness,
thus so auspiciously begun. The maiden name of the bride was Miss
Caroline Hibner.

and Mrs. Martha Briglin was solemnized at the residence of
Mr. Geo. M. Whedon last Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, and as usual,
the young hyenas, (the small boys), were around with the tin pan and
horn and made night hideous with tin and rattle. We understand that
there are others soon to
follow, but we hope before the events occur the small boys will move
out of town, catch the measles, or be otherwise indisposed - any
way to abate the nuisance.

LIGOTTO - RAINONE
Vincenza Ligotto Takes Pretty Mary Raimone for His Bride - A
large part of the Italian colony of this city is in holiday attire
today and those of the colony who are at home are enjoying themselves
as was their custom on their feast days in sunny Italy. The cause of
the unusual midweek festivities arises from the fact that pretty Mary
Rainone, one of the belles of the colony was married this morning.
The
lucky man is Vincenzo Ligotto and all day his friends have
been
congratulating him on the success of his courtship and drinking the
health
of the bride. The wedding took place at St. Francis de Sales church
this
morning and the blushing bride was resplendent in a gorgeous dress, the
color of which was described by an interesting spectator as being fiery
pink. Following the wedding ceremony the happy couple were driven to
the photograph gallery of Theodore Wood in Seneca street, where they
had
their pictures taken in their wedding garments. These pictures will be
kept as souvenirs of the occasion. The real wedding festival will be
held this evening, after the many friends of Ligotto have returned from
their
day's work. All of the customs followed at a marriage feast in Italy
will
be followed and the dancing and feasting will last well into the
morning
hours. The Italian men in this country are considerably more numerous
than
the women so that when one of them is fortunate enough to get one of
his
country women to link her fate with his for life, it is considered an
occasion
that deserves all the feasting and fun that can be gotten out of it and
such an occasion is never let slip without making the most of it.

were
quietly waiting at the home of a friendly Italian for the shades of
night
so that they could steal away to a clergyman and be married. The couple
arrived in Geneva early yesterday morning and went to the home of an
Italian
woman who was a friend of the girl. The woman was taken into the scheme
of the lovers for outwitting the old folks and with her aid, the
wedding
was accomplished. She went with the couple to the residence of the Very
Rev. Dean W. A. McDonald last night and by representing to him that the
girl was over eighteen and that her folks had consented to the
marriage,
secured his consent to marry the couple. They were accordingly made man
and wife. This morning Chief of Police Kane telegraphed Rosie's father
telling
him that the couple were married and that he might as well come along
and
congratulate the parties and take them home.
