The church was artistically decora ted by Rehder, the florist, and the marriage scene was a lovely one in deed. The altar was banked with palms and white and pink chrysanthe mums, while the walls of the pulpit enclosure were draped with smllax and other evergreens. The choir loft was effectively decorated with palms and smilax with an artistic arrange ment of pink and white ribbon bows. Back of 'the pulpit, crotons entered very prettily into the decorations and the lighting effects were charming. The color scheme was pink and white and this was carried out perfectly. In compliment to the bride, who is a member of the organization, the musical numbers were by the Sr. James' choir, supplemented by Hollow- bush's Orchestra, with organ accom paniment by Mr. Alf H. Yopp. Mr. E. H. Munson directed the music, and the wedding marches have scarcely been excelled in the history of the city. As the guests were assembling the choir sung a bridal chorus from "The Rose Maiden," with organ and orchestra accompaniment. The bridal party entered as the choir charmingly rendered a bridal chorus from Lohen grin, with same accompaniment The exit was to the inspiring strains of Mendelsohn's wedding march. The choir was composed of Mrs. Cameron MacRae, Mrs. Charles E. Taylor, Jr., Mrs. O. W. Bidgood, Miss Martha Nash and Miss Carrie Maffitt, sopra nos: Miss Belle Anderson and Miss Annie Hart, altos; Mr. C. H. Cooper, tenor, and Mr. A. S. Holden, bari tone.

R. Taylor and Joe T. King, preceded them and came in pairs down each centre aisle. The bride was join ed at the altar by the groom, ac companied by his best man, Mr. R. H. Edwards, of Goldsboro, who came in by the east entrance. Dr. Blackwell impressively said the words that made the couple man and wife. The ring service was used. The bride wore a handsome travel ling suit of gray crepe de chene over light blue taffeta with velvet picture hat to match. Her bouquet was of bride's roses and carnations caught with white chiffon. The maid of honor wore a becoming suit of handsome blue cloth with applique trimmings and hat to match. She carried a lovely shower boquet of pink carnations and ferns, caught with pink satin ribbon. The groom and best man wore suits of conventional black with white boutonnieres, while the ushers were similarly attired with boutonnieres of pink carnations. The bride is one of Wilmington's most popular and talented young ladies and is much loved and admired in a wide circle of friends. She is a daughter of Mrs. Mary Foster and is widely known for her great musical attainments. The groom, Mr. Edwards, s the popular ticket agent of the At-A antic Coast Line in Wilmington and numbers his friends here and else where by the score.

A sensational story of a lynching that took place near Bladenboro, on the Carolina Central road, 53 miles from Wilmington, reached the city yesterday from Eiizabethtown, the county seat of Bladen, in which the crime is thought to have been com mitted. For several months there has been a heated controversy between factions opposing and favoring the no-fence law recently inaugurated in Bladen, and on Monday night Mr. H. Single- tary, a prominent citizen, living three miles from Bladenboro, was shot. Suspicion pointed to ifid. Davis, a white man living in the same vicinity, with whom Mr. Singletary had trouble over the no-fence law. The wounded man was brought by Mr. J. E. Frink, a neighbor, to the hospital in Wil mington Tuesday at noon and yester day Dr. W. C. Galloway was called in by the attending surgeons and found that the ball had penetrated Mr. Bingletary's right eye, necessitating its removal, which was accomplished in a very successful operation. A letter was received at Elizabeth town yesterday stating that Davis' house was broken into Tuesday night, and wnlie everything in the rooms was intact, Davis and his son had dis appeared, and that it was thought they had been lynched. A special to the Charlotte Observer from Fayetteville last night says that Solicitor C. C. Lyon, who is holding court in the latter city ihis week, re ceived a telegram giving the news of- the occurrence and the subsequent supposed lynching. Further particu lars were not obtainable here last night. Inquiry at the hospital last night developed the fact that Mr. 'Singletary Is in nowise fatally injured, and wil recover in a short time. It is thought that the wound was a glancing one, as the bullet has not been located. The injured man was surprised when told of the supposed lynching. All the parties concerned in the unfortu nate affair are white. Mr. Singletary is 42 years of age, and is a member of one of the leading families in his section. Many friends will regret to know of the loss of his eye, but are gratified to know that the injuries will not prove of a more seri ous nature. MARRIED LAST EVENINQ.

Editorial Expression From Charleston News aad Courier. The Charleston News and Courier of yesterday in the course of an edi torial upon the wonderful develop ment of the Atlantic Coast Line, says among other things : Mr. Henry Walters, who has built up the Atlantic Coast Line from small beeinnings into one of tne most pow erful railroad systems in the South, has retired from the presidency of the principal company and become the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Greater Coast Line. The object of this change is to relieve him in a measure from much of the detail work which required his attention in his former position ; but he will con tinue to be, as he has been from the beginning, the controlling force in the management of the splendid property. Holders of the securities of the Atlantic Coast Line will feel entirely safe as long as Mr. Walters is at the head of the System and the business and travelling public will be sure that they will have the best possible service. No higher tribute could be paid to this very modest man to say that so perfect is the confidence in his good faith and integrity that the people believe in ine Atlantic uoast Line because Henry Walters is at its head. One of the most admirable things about the Coast Line is that it takes care of its own people. The change in Mr. Walter's official relations to the System has been follow ed by promotion all along the line. All these officers are well equipped for their work and have, been rewarded for their faithful and intelligent ser vices. The owners of the properties included in the new system did not think it necessary to hunt for men on the outside they had better men at home for the purpose of doing a railroad business than they could pick up in the market and they stuck to their own home-folks. Every ambitious man in the service of the Atlantic Coast Line doubtless went to bed last night with the idea in his bead that he could be at the head of a de partment in the railroad service some day, and he will worK au me reiier to day and to-morrow and all the time because there will be a chance of pro - ... . i 1 AA A motion. 7" For Afltnma use CHE NEY'S EXPECTOR ANT.
