the ceremony.     The Bridal chorus from Lohengrin'was skillfully
played on the pipe organ by Miss
Mary  Martin,   organist    of  the
Broad avenue Prerbyterian church, a close Iriend of the grooms
family.    To its strains the party
entered the church, the bride on
the arm ot her brother, Charles

Upon Petition ol Taxpayers Two Will bo
Appointed bp Supervisors
Antis township, whieh because
ot its population,   has   become a
second class district,  is   to   have
two policemen.    More that twenty-five citizens   uf the township
last week petitioned Jodge T.   J.
Baldrige tor the   appointment   ot
as   many   officers   as   might   be
deemed necessary for the proper
policing   of   the     district,   and
Judge Baldrige, after some daya
of  consideration   and   investiga-'
tion, authorized the appointment
of two, to be compensated at the
rate of 50 cents   per   hour   to be
paid out ot the road fund   of   the
district.
The petition of the citizens did
not state the specific use of the
police officers, any further than to
say they were necessary for the
maintenance of good order and |
tho observance of law. It is understood, however, that they will
do service about tbe public roads,
public works and the parks. The
appointments are to hold for six
months, according to the court's
decree, but the naming of the
officers was lett to the road supervisors.
