Wedded at Driftwood.
The leading social event of the sea
son at Driftwood was the marriage of
Mr. Charles Dorwin Porter of Mifflin,
and Miss Ruth Sherwin Richardson
which was solemnized on Tuesday, Sept.
14th, at the Union church in the pres
ence of a large company. The event
was of special interest on account of
the prominence of the contracting par
ties, Driftwood having been the home
of the bride's family for many years
and the groom having been located
there for some time.
The church in which the ceremony
took place was beautifully and elabo
rately decorated for the occasion. The
altar being banked high with autumn
flowers and foliage, goldenrod pre
dominating.
Promptly at the hour designated
Miss Rachael Brookbank, who render
ed a beautiful overture while the com
pany was being seated, played the
popular and impressive wedding
march Lohengrin, as the wedding
party entered the edifice.
The groom was attended by Charles
Gray, Esq., of Pittsburg, a son of
Judge Gray, the eminent jurist of Dela
ware. The members of the bridal
party were: Mrs. V. King Pifer of
Williamsport, a sister of the bride,
matron of honor; Miss Nina Grier
Bryan of Emporium, maid ofhonot;
Miss Helen Richardson, sister of the
bride, Miss Elizabeth Porter of Fort
Wayne, Ind., sister of the groom and
Misses Edna Mitchell and Martha
Gleason of Driftwood, bride's maids.
The bride entered on the arm of her
oldest brother, George B. Richardson,
Esq., of Grove City, by whom she was
given in marriage.
The ushers were Arthur Byron of
Olean, N. Y., Miles and James Porter,
brothers of the groom of Fort Wayne,
Ind., and R. Laughton Richardson of
Driftwood, brother of the bride.
The bride was beautifully gowned in
white chiffon mull with handsome lace
trimmings, a tulle veil completed the
artistic costume. Her bouquet being a
shower of brides rosee. She wore a
beautiful brooch, the gift of the groom.
The matron of honor wore her wed
ding gown of cream satin with drapery
of old family lace and carried white
asters. The maid of honor was attired
in an handsome gown of point d'sprit
over messaline satin. She also car
ried an arm spray of white asters. The
four maids wore dainty gowns of white
Paris muslin and carried lavendor
asters.
The bride presented her attendants
with brooches and the gift of the
groom to the male members of the
party was handsome tie pins.
The solemn and impressive words
that joined the young couple for life,
were pronounced by the Rev. J. M.
Robertson, rector of the Emporium
Episcopal church, the beautiful ring
service of that denomination being
used.
Immediately following the ceremony
a reception was held at the home of
the bride. The happy couple received
the congratulations of the wedding
guests, the entire bridal party and the
mother of the bride being in the re
ceiving line. After these happy feli
citations had been extended the com
pany was seated and a dainty lunch
eon was served in the parlors, dining
room and spacious porches of the
house. The house decorations were
very profuse, the floral adornments in
the reception room being white clerati
tis, autumn flowers and foliage consti
tuted the decorations in the interior
apartments and porches, the bride's
table being ornamented with clematis
and goldenrod, the color scheme
throughout being yellow, white and
lavendor.
An hour later the bride and groom
left on the west bound train to enjoy
a western trip. After November Ist
they will be at home in Mifflin, Pa.,
where Mr. Porter holds a responsible
position with the Pennsylvania rail
road. None of the features incident
to the departure of a newly wedded
party were omitted by the large num
ber of friends assembled at the station,
the well wishes of all being extended
to the couple, whose dual journey
through life starts out under the most
auspicious circumstances.
The bride is the daughter of the late
Francis E. and Mrs. Richardson and is
held in the highest esteem of a very
large circle of friends and acquaints
ances. Her brightness and vivacity
have made her deservedly popular and
that hapninesa unlimited may be hers
through lilts, "incere wish of the
many whose friendship she has long
enjoyed. Mr. Porter is the son of Dr.
Miles Porter, a prominent surgeon of
Port Wayne, Ind., and is a young man
of sterling qualities. He is a graduate
of Purdue College and for several
years has been connected with the
Pennsylvania railroad in various capa
cities requiring mechanical and engin
eering ability of a high order.
The happy event of Tuesday was at- ,
tended by guests and relatives from
Forf Wayne, Ind., Olean and Buffalo,
N. Y., Emporium, Dußois, Union City,
Johnsonburg, Williamsport, Grove
City and other places.
The gifts to the bride were very j
numerous, including many beau
tiful articles of silver, cut glass, linen,
china and furniture. *
Howard —Rothfuss.
Last Wednesday evening, Trinity
Episcopal Church at Williamsport, was
the scene of a very pretty wedding,
when Miss Alarcia Howard, daughter
of Mrs. Editha Howard became the
wife of Mr. Carl Winfield Scott Roth
fuas. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. Robert Bell, Rector of All
Saints Memorial church, of Williams
port. The decorations at the church
and home were beautiful. After the
ceremony a reception was held at the
home of the bride's mother on West
Fourth street. About 350 invitations
were issued. The bride is a grand
daughter of Mrs. M. A. Rockwell of
this place. Miss Encie Howard, of
this place, acted as one of the bride's
maids.
"Quincy Adams Sawyer" Repeat
ing its Success.
The phenomenal success of the book
play, "Quincy Adams Sawyer," is re
peatiug itself again this season when
crowded houses greet its every ap
pearance. This popularity is attributed
to the proceeding fame of the book that
extended from ocean to ocean, and
that the play is in itself the most
genuine piece of rural life ever given
to lover of bucolic flrama.
The simple pure charm of the book
is distinctly preserved in the play.
The characters are drawn so close to
life that it requires an eifort to be con
vinced that they are not real. They
are just such types as are found in
every New England village and port
rayed by actors who are in perfect
sympathy with their roles. In fact, it
is a case of human nature appealing to
human nature.
Another thing that people evidently
appreciate is not having their pleasure
of the artistic simplenesa of the play
marred by mawkish scenes and sloshy
incidents. The amusing scenes—and
those are what the play is made up of
mainly—contain just wholesome, good
nature, compelling laugh after laugh,
and the sentimental parts consist of
that kind of refined pathos that plays
upon the heart strings with no dis
cordant note.
The company representing this
beautiful play carries with it all the
equipments including four large sets
of scenery, built especially for the pro
duction, all the lightning effects and
all the properties. Theatre goers are
looking forward to the treat in store
for them when the play comes to the
Emporium Opera House in the near
future.
How Different.
Renovo was trimmed by Emporium
on the former's grounds Saturday
afternoon by the score of 5 to 2. It
was an interesting and well played
game throughout and attracted a fair
sized crowd of spectators.—Ridgway
Record.
The base ball game Saturday after
noon between Renovo and Emporium
was largely attended but was very
listless. The score was 5 to 2. Ray
mond Friel pitched the last few in
nings and held the visitors to no hita.
—Renovo Cor. to Lock Haven Express.
How different the above notices
sound. It will be seen that the article
from Renovo failed to say who won
the game. The result of which no
doubt made it listless from a Renovo
point of view.

Railroad News.
Prizes amounting to $5,400 were
awarded to-day to Pennsylvania Rail
road track supervisors and their as
sistants who have excelled in their
work during the past year. The prizes.
Ave in number, were distributed at
Harrisburg, Pa., at the close ofthe first
day of the General Manager'e Annual
inspection, on which, the General
Manager is accompanied by his entire
staff of oUlcers, including some 300
men in the operating department ol
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The purpose in oflering these liberal
premiums is to encourage those in
charge of the tracks over which the
bulk ofthe Company's passenger traine
run, to keep their sections as free at
possible from irregularities that cause
jars and discomforts to the Company's
patrons.
To insure that the prizes shall be
awarded upon accurate data, a con>
mitee of maintenance of way officers
goeaover the line every few weeks
during the year, in a car attached tc
one of the regular high-speed trains.
Two glasses of water are placed on the
sills of two rear windows and every
spill of water is counted against the
acore of the section of track over which
the train is passing. To make the
record even more accurate, an instru
ment has been especially designed tc
register every vibration of the car.
either vertically or horizontally. T e
smaller the amount of vibrat : in, the
b«' l ;ter the track.
dears Retires With $25,000,000.
Richard W. Sears, founder of the
rreat mail order house of Sears, Roe
juck & Co., has announced his retire
ment from active business. He has
imassed a fortune in the past seven
teen years, it is said, of $25,000,000.
He began his business career when a
telegraph operator in the nortwest, by
buying watches and selling them to
railroad men on approval. After
opening an office in Minneapolis
Ms basinesfls became so pnowrwiui Uih<
gradually added other lines an«J
le enough money to establish him
n the general mail order business
'uigo. The business has gradu
wn until it is said the annual
reach §50,000,000. A few yeare
it.was incorporated for $40,000,000,
Mr. Sears has for some time been in
vesting in downtown real estate ir,
Chicago. His purchase during a year
amounted to about $2,000,000.
The unfortunate thing to contem
plate is the fact that all of this twenty
Ave millions is on the books of pooi
country merchants, who could ha\(
furnished the goods on which Mr
Sears made his profit at the same prict
had they been paid the spot cash for it

A. Pelky and Charles Sanders who
for the past three years have been in

They had one nugget that was worth
$605; another worth S3OO. The first
