SLOAN -McFARLAND-
Morris R. Sloan of Lebanon, son of
the late M. C. Sloan of this town, was
married to Miss Emily McFarland of
Lebanon on Thursday last. His sis
ters, Mrs. W. C. McKmney of Blooms
burg and Mrs. C. C. Kvans of Ber
wick, and his brother, W. Clark Sloan,
attended the wedding. Morris has a
host of friends here who wish him
much happiness. The Lebanon Daily
Timet gives the following account of
the wedding:
"The wedding was celebrated at
7:30 o'clock, at the home of the bride's
father, George P. McFarland, Ninth
and Church streets, and although quiet,
it was a pretty and tasteful event. The
parlors were profusely decorated with
palms and carnations. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. J. Mitchell
Page, rector of St. Luke's Episcopal
church. The maid of honor was Miss
Elizabeth Light, o this city, and F.
B. Miller, of Reading, formerly of
Lebanon, was best man. James Eck
enroth, organist of St. Mary's Catholic
Church, presided at the piano while a
quartet composed of Misses Cora
Hartman and Mary Kreider, and
Edward Sholly and J. Wm. McAdam
furnished the vocal music. The ushers
were W. Clark Sloan, brother of the
groom and J. L. Haehulen, both of
this c.tv.
The bride was attired in a dress of
mouslin. over taffeta silk, relieved with
Duchess lace, and she carried a
bouquet of bridal roses. The maid of
honor wore a gown of pink silk mous
lin, and carried pink carnations. Both
looked charming.
A reception followed the ceremony,
Frank Heisev havine been the caterer.
The bride was the recipient of an
assortment of presents that represent
ri rare value and beautv.
She is an accomplished young lady."
HOUSE BURNED.
The residence ot C. R. Richart, on
North Iron Street was discovered to
be on fire Tuesday morning about
two o'clock, but the names had gained
such headway that it was impossible
tnstav them. The fire companies
responded to the alarm quickly, but
not in time to save tne Duuaing. ine
hmmp was a stoiv and a half frame,
and was owned and occupied by Mr.
Uirhart and familv. They were pre-
narinir to move to Wllliamsport, and
all their household goods were packed
ready for shipment. Mrs. Richart
and her daughter had gone to William-
sport on Monday and Bir. iticnart
remained here to look after the goods.
Tie was in the house until about
eleven o'clock, and then went to a
neichbor's to sleep. Three hours
later the fite broke out. The only
fir in the house was in the kitchen
range, and that had nearly burned out
at 9 o'clock. The nre seems to nave
started in a small out-kitchen, and
can be accounted for only by the
theory that it was intentionally done.
The household goods were all destroy
ed, and the loss to Mr. Richart will
reach nearly $1500 with partial insurance.

William B. Taylor has secured a
lease on lands in Lvcoming County,
where valuable ore is found in paying
quantities. He has samples ot ore
taken from these premises that are
rich in mineral. He also has certifi
cates ol analysis showing over 33 per
cent ot copper, and nearly 4 ounces
of silver per ton. while other samples
of ore show 9 ounces of silver per ton
and a trace of cold. Mr. layior de
sires to sell a one-fourth interest in
his lease, which he values at $2,000
The money will be used in developing
the property, and from the analysis
it would seem that there can be no

investment. 1 he one tourtn interest
will be sold as desited. either as a
whole, or in portions to suit purchas
