In Wedlock's Bonds

Several Weddings of More Than Ordinary Interest Because of Their Prominence.

Miss Thompson Becomes Mrs. Sibley; and Miss Anderson Becomes Mrs. Brown.

 Society's attention has not, for many a day, been occupied by a more elaborate event than the wedding of Alfred Brush Sibley and Anna Broadwater Thompson, last eveing.

The Cathedral of St. John (Episcopal), located at Seventh and Hampshire streets, within the walls of which was seated the great concourse of relatives and friends of the contracting parties, together with the profuse and beautiful floral decorations presented such a brilliant scene as will not soon be forgotten by those present. Remarkably fine taste had been displayed by those who, with their deft fingers, had arranged the decorations and they certainly must have experienced a feeling of proud satisfaction as they stood by and overheard the many complimentary remarks, which came from the lips of all in attendance.

The bridal party, preceded by ushers, J.B. Hewitt, of St. Paul; J.J. Wright, of Chicago; John A. Stillwell and Thomas E. Thompson, of Quincy, and Masters Notley Thompson and Sidney Austin, carrying coils of snow-white guard ribbons to keep the main aisle clear until after the entrance and departure of the bridal party entered the church at 8 o'clock. Mr. C. Fred Sibley, brother of the groom, attended his brother, and Miss Addie Austin acted as maid of honor to the bride. The bride was met by the groomsman, at the chancel steps, and proceeded to the altar rails, followed by Misses Eva Distin, Jesse Morgan, and Adella Allen, of Quincy, and Miss Alby Donaldson, of St. Louis, Prof. Oliver, the new organist, Fellow of the Guild organists, London, playing the Lohengrin bridal march very sweetly. In conducting the beautiful Episcopal marriage ceremony, dean C. C. Leman, the officiating clergyman, was assisted by Rev. Dr. Wm. Corbyn, of the Church of the Good Sheperd. After the happy couple had been pronounced man and wife, according to the usages of the church, Dr. Corbyn, took the place of the officiant and pronounced the final benediction. Mr. And Mrs. Sibley and the bridal party then retired to the sweet strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march. And as the many bright gas jets were turned off, and the evergreens, palms and exquisite floral decorations were fast hidden from view by the dark of night, the carriages containing the bridal party, rolled away in the direction of the Thompson residence, leaving quite a number at the church to admire the floral decorations, until the last light was extinguished.

The bride's costume was perfectly elegant, and consisted of white satin appleque and passion flower, with front of hand-wrought mouseleine de soie. Diamonds and bouquet of white roses.

Miss Addie Austin made a beautiful appearance in a cream-white gown, stripped, mouseleine de soie and jacquenot roses.

Miss Distin and Miss Jessie Morgan wore daffodil yellow mouseleine de soie, satin ribbons and marcheneil roses, their feet encased in gilt slippers.

The Misses Donaldson and Allen were attired in sea-foam green mouseleine, satin ribbons, gloves to match, silver slippers and la France roses.

The reception at the residence of the bride's parents, on North Eighth street, was an elaborate affair. Picture a room all azure and gold, velvet carpet, beautiful upholstery, frosty lace and brocaded curtains, rare gems of art hung upon the richly-tinted walls and everywhere roses and filigree baskets heaped with flowers. So abundant were these beautiful blossoms that one paused unconsciously to mark the effect of the pale waxen and beautifully tinted flowers and the dark green leaves, with intense admiration, and lovlier (lovelier) than the lilies themselves, was the bride, who stood amid all this splendor. Then you get an idea of what the reception at the Thompson place last night really was. There were many relatives and friends present, and congratulations, good wishes and presents were as numerous as the flakes of a snow storm. Congratulations and presents were also received from Boston, Detroit, New York, St. Paul, Baltimore, St. Louis and Montana. At 2 o'clock the happy couple departed for Chicago, from where they go to St. Paul, their future home.

The bride, the daughter of Mr. And Mrs. E.J. Thompson, is too well known in Quincy to need an introduction. She is an accomplished and handsome young lady, and the good wishes of a large circle of warm friends go with her to her new home.

Mr. Sibley, the groom, is a prominent citizen of St. Paul, Minn., where he is the secretary of a St. Paul Gas and Electric Light company. He hails from one of the oldest families of the state of Minnesota, his father, Gen. Sibley, bearing the honorable distinction of being the first man to represent Minnesota territory in Congress, and also of being the first Governor elected when Minnesota became a state. Owing to the fact that Gen. Sibley is over 80 years of age he was unable to attend the wedding but has arranged to give a grand reception in honor of his son's wife, upon her arrival at St. Paul nect Tuesday.

Mrs. Young, sister of the groom, of St. Paul, and Mrs. John Donaldson, of St. Louis, were among the guests ___ abroad.

Mr. E.D. Smith and Dr. H.J. Smith officiated as doorkeepers at the church.
 

Brown-Anderson

The Vermont Street M. E. church was well filled yesterday afternoon by friends of Miss Fannie Anderson, held at 3:30 p.m., was pronounced the wife of Mr. John Brown, by Rev. Mr. Byerly.

The happy couple departed on the Wabash at 4:30 p.m. For Springfield, where the couple will be tendered a reception by the groom's mother, Mr. James Brown, one of the pioneers of Sangamon county.

From Springfield the couple go to Davenport, Iowa, where Mr. Brown is the special agent for the Northwestern Life Insurance company.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. And Mrs. L. R. Anderson and during her short residence in this city had gathered about her such a circle of warm friends as she will find hard to be separated from. She was attired in a traveling dress at the ceremony, carrying a bouquet of lillies of the valley. There were no attendants except the ushers.

The groom is highly spoken and much thought of, especially at Springfield, where the Brown family is looked upon as one of the first as well as the oldest, of Sangamon county.

The Herald unites with the many friends of both in wishing happiness and success through married life.

A. Campbell Brown, brother of the groom was the only relative from abroad present at the ceremony.

Davis-Williams

Mr. Hugh A. Davis and Miss LuLu D. Williams were joined in the bonds of holy matrimony by Rev. Thos. J. Wheat, at the residence of the bride's parents, on Vermont Street, yesterday afternoon, at 3 o'clock. Miss Mary Kirby and Mr. Grant Williams were bride's maid and best man for the happy couple. Quite a large company of invited guests witnessed the ceremony. After the congratulations the newly married couple, with their guests, sat down to a bountiful supper, served by the loving hands and hearts.

The Herald joins in congratulations, and wishes the young couple a happy and prosperous voyage over life's sea.

FUNERAL OF MRS. AND MISS TRACY

A Peculiarly Sad Event – Members of the Cabinet Pall-Bearers.

WASHINGTON, February 5. - Services over the remains of the wife and daughter of Secretary Tracy, of the Navy, were appointed for 11 o'clock, but long before that hour the east room in the White House was crowded with people. It was a most distinguished gathering including nearly everybody of prominence in Washington.

Arrangements had been made for the seating of fifty persons, but over 500 managed to gain entrance, and it is estimated that nearly a thousand persons were in the house. As far as possible the admission was confined to personal and official friends of Secretary Tracy and his family, and consequently very few strangers were present. A great crowd gathered outside and it was found necessary to station policemen at the gates to keep them out.

The caskets containing the dead were places side by side under the central chandalier (chandelier) and directly opposite the main corridor. The sombre drapings of the caskets were almost entirely concealed by flowers, and garlands and wreaths were banked against the sides of each. One particularly beautiful wreath was placed on Miss Tracy's casket by her young friends, Misses Proctor, Miller, Wanamaker and Rusk and the Misses Windom. Seats were arranged on three sides of a square open space, being used for the entrance of mourners and the Presidential party, who were assigned seats fronting the caskets. Vice-President and Mrs. Morton, who were among the earliest arrivals, were seated opposite. Near by were seated the British minister and family, the German minister, Chinese and Corean (Korean) legations, Brazilian minister and many other members of the diplomatic corps. Army and navy officers were present in great numbers, and nearly all were in full uniform.

Members of the Cabinet, with the exception of Secretary Blaine, acting as pallbearers, entered soon after 11 o'clock and took seats to the right. They were soon followed by Secretary Tracy and his son Frank, arm in arm, and other members of the family.

As soon as they were seated the choir of St. John's Episcopal church sang the hymn, "Lead, Kindly Light." Rev. Dr. George William Douglas, rector of the same church, read the Episcopal burial service and at its conclusion the choir sang "Jesus, Lover of My Soul."

The scripture lesson was read by Rev. Mr. Elliott. Several more hymns by the choir and prayer by Dr. Douglas concluded the services.

The President, with Secretary Tracy on his arm, first passed out of the room and next to them came Frank Tracy, the son, who was so overcome that he had to be supported by two of the ushers.

The bodies were removed to hearses and the funeral procession was formed, the cortège moving slowly to Rock Creek cemetery, where the bodies were placed in the receiving vault to await their permanent resting place.

Secretary Tracy did not go to the cemetery, as it was feared the task might prove too much for his strength. The President occupied a carriage with Frank Tracy, and a long line of carriages containing nearly all those who attended the services in the White House followed the remains to the cemetery.

President Thompson read a report showing that the trust up to January 1, 1889, lost $263,000, but in the last six months of 1889 they made a net profit of $792,000.

An Illinois Railroad Sold

Springfield, Ill, February 5. - The federal master in chancery to-day sold a portion of the St. Louis & Chicago railroad between Litchfield and Mount Olive, together with the right of way and all interests connected therewith north of Springfield to Joliet.

Washington

A Bomb in the Capitol

Washington, February 5. - A rumor, current to-day, that a dynamite bomb had been found in the capitol appears to have a slight foundation. A small, oval shaped tin box was found in a spittoon in the rotunda. The chief of the capitol police examined it and found several grains of a substance resembling salt petre and a small quantity of something that looked like punk. He found that the latter would burn. He concluded that the box was a railroad torpedo, but to settle the matter has sent it to the district chemist for analysis.

In the county court a jury returned a verdict that Adam Zopf, of Quincy, is insane, and a fit person to be sent to Jacksonville. The unfortunate man is sixty-seven years of age and has been insane for ten days. The jury found that the cause of his losing his mind was loss of property.
