The Wedding Last Night.
One of the most brilliant weddings
that ever took place in Wilmington
was that at St. James' Church last
evening, when Mr. George Herbert
Smith and Miss Carrie W. Strange
were united in the holy bonds of
wedlock. Tli e church was crowded
to its utmost capacity and many
were compelled to stand throughout
the service. The officiating priest
was Rev. Robert Strange, Rector of
the church and brother to the bride,
assisted by Rev. W. J. Smith, of
Scotland Neck, a relative of "the
groom. The bride was given away
by Col. John W. Atkinson, her step
father. The attendants were Mr.
Kirkland Huske and Miss Eliza Pot
ter, of Wilmington; Mr. E. B. Engel
hard, of Raleigh, and Miss Annie
Meares, of Wilmington; Mr. Isaac
Manning and MissAugusta Mcpher
son, of Wilmington; Mr. William
Latimer, of Wilmington, and Miss
Sallie Mayo, of Richmond; Mr. J.
W. Atkinson, Jr., of Richmond, and
Miss Carrie Cochrane, of Washington
City: Mr. J. W. Botles, of Wilming
ton, and Miss Nannie Smith, of Scot
land Neck; Col. W. C. Jones and
Miss Minnie Giles, of Wilmington;
Capt. Benehan Cameron, of Hills
boro, and Miss Callie Reid French,
of Wilmington; Mr. W. J. Andrews,
of Raleigh, and Miss Lizzie Chad
bourn, of Wilmington; Mr. Duval
French and Miss Janie Strange, of
Wilmington, the -latter couple act
ing as best man and maid of honor.
The ushers were Messrs. Devereux
Lippitt, H. N. Parsley, T. Wright
Meares, A. M. Waddell, Jr., H. H.
Mcllhenny and F. L. Meares.
At the conclusion of the wedding
ceremony the bridal party drove to
the residence of Col. John W. Atkin
son where a reception was held,
which was very largely attended.
At midnight they took the fast mail
train for New York "where they will
regain until the latter part of next
week when 'they will sail for an ex
tensive tour of Great Britain and
Continental Europe.
The wedding presents were very
handsome and made up one of the
richest, most beautiful and most ex"
tensive tributes ever offered to a
bride in this city. They were but
one of the many evidences of the
tender and loving regard in which
this lovely and amiable young lady
is held by-l.er large circle of friends
and relatives in this city.
Lung TroBldes, Rheumatism, Etc.
Frequently a person is supposed
to have consumption when it is
some other disease altogether that
is reducing his flesh and making him
look pale and thin.
J. W. Yates, Tullahoma, Tenn.,
writes: "It does me good to praise
Botanic Blood Balm. It cured me
of au abscess on the liings and
asthma that troubled me two years
and that other rcniedj1:? failed to
benefit."
So you see It is sometimes well to
try constitutional treatment. No
remedy is so good as B. B. B. (Bo
tanic Blood Balm) for rebuilding
wasted'tissue, and giving health to
every portion of the syst&ui reached
by that great circulating stream of
life, the human blood. Again, it is
often supposed that colds and expo
sure are the only causes of sciatica,
rheumatism, etc. Such is not al
ways the case. It is frequently
caused by impurities in the blood.
Wm. Xriee, Luttsville, Mo.. writes:
"1 was afflicted with sciatica and
had lost the use of one arm and one
leg for nine years. I went to Hot
Springs and also tried 'different doc
tors, but found no cure until I tried
4otanic Blood Balm It made me
sound ana well. I am well known
ir this vicinity."
Observe, even when the renowned
Hot 8prings failed, B. B,B. brought
relief. Remember, no matter what
blood remedy you have tried or in
tend to try, B. B. B, is the only one
that will give you complete satisfac
tion, -

despatch this morning from Dur
ham, saying that his plant there had
been burned. There were no par
ticulars, and it is therefore impos
sible as yet to tell the exact amount
of damage done. It is hoped, how
ever, that it is not very great, as the j
game despatch called for the ship- j
ment by express of a lot of soda, so
that operations could be at once re -
'sumed. By this it is supposed that
the machinery escaped uninjured,
althougfh nothing is yet known as to
thi8fact. Mr. Lucai had $3,500 in
surance, and; it is hoped that this
will cover the loss. He will go up to
Durham to morrow to look into thM
matter.
The Military Festival.
The ladies have done wonders in
preparing for the W. L. I. Festival,
which opens this week. The dry and
barren Champion Compress smiles as
a.rose, in fact as a great many roses,
and the prosaic interior of the rooms
allotted them has been transformed
into bowers of beauty. Art and na
tnre have combined to render it a
real region of beauty and romance.
The art room is crowded with gems
of almost inestimable value. The
old wrld has contributed to the
new. Ancient tapestry and rugs,
Florentine mosaics, Sevres china,
Satsuma ware, Egyptian marbles,
paintings of great value, the pro
duct of old masters as well as new,
coats of mail, bronze shields with
figures worked in bas relief and
bric-a-brac of every description
and objects of rare value are to be
met with on every side.
, In the main hall there are numer
ous booths arranged on either side
of a broad passage way which ex -tends
the length of the compart
ment and will be kept open for the
fancy drills by the Light Infantry,'
and other displays.
Booth iNo. j, near the entrance, is
for fruit and fancy work. It is
beautifully draped with pink and
green, and is under the manage
ment of Mrs. Corbett, Mrs. Vollers.

King, Mrs. Calder and Mrs. Rhein
