residence of Mr. and Mrs. Orlo SMITH, on Adams street, when their
daughter, Miss Kittie SMITH, was united in marriage to Arthur MARSH, a
prominent real estate and lumber dealer of Allegan, Mich., Rev. C. V.
REICHEL officiating. About fifty intimate friends and relatives

lavishly were they decorated with flowers, ferns and evergreens. The
bride was beautifully dressed in cream silk entrain and carried a
bouquet of Marechale Niel roses. She bore herself with queenly grace.
The bridal couple entered the room preceded by Carrie RICHARDSON and

march, played by Miss Clara B_TTS. A very fine collation was served, the
caterer being Mrs. BROCKWAY. The presents were valuable and many of them
very handsome. Mr. and Mrs. MARSH left on the 9:12 o'clock train for an
extended tour through the East. Among the guests from out of town were

ORLEANS
Holley Again Startled by the Report of a Shooting Affray
The citizens of Holley were startled yesterday morning over the report
that a shooting affray occurred in East Holley the night before, in
which a woman had been shot. It appears that the families of Harry
SKIROW and John RENOUF, occupying the same house, have not always lived
together in peace and happiness. Mr. RENOUF caused the arrest of Mr.
SKIROW, claiming that he came into the house in an intoxicated condition
and breaking open a door into his part of the house, attacked Mrs.
RENOUF, displaying a revolver and greatly alarming her. She called to
her husband and a boarder, who were in the barn, for assistance, when a
warrant was procured and SKIROW was taken to the office of Justice
GLIDDEN. Mr. SKIROW's story is substantially that he returned from
Albion and entering the house by the front door was met in the hall by
Mrs. RENOUF with whom he offered to shake hands. She became hysterical
and called to her husband. He denied that he was intoxicated, admitted
that he drank something in Albion, but not to excess; also denying that
he had a revolver in his possession, Justice GLIDDEN held SKIROW for an
examination Thursday evening.
--The Presbyterian society of East Kendall are making an effort to raise
$2,000 to repair the church.
--Mrs. B. JONES died at her home in Albion Monday afternoon. She leaves
a husband and five children.
--The funeral of Mrs. J. K. SHELDON was held in Albion yesterday at the
residence of S. H. TAYLOR, a large number of relatives and friends being
present. Rev. S. G. MERRICK, of Gaines, officiated. The singing was by a
quartette composed of Mrs. G. FOREMAN, C. J. DAY, C. H. THURSTON
and W. H. ROBERTS. There was a profusion of flowers.
--Two new associations have recently been formed in Albion: A branch of
the Rochester National Loan Association, with S. T. BERSAC, president:
F. E. O'BRIEN, vice-president; O. D. EDDY, secretary and treasurer, and
Church & Kirby, attorneys. The Merchants' Exchange, with James
BAILEY, president; O. A. TAYLOR, vice-president; S. T. CHURCH, clerk and

BARRELL, E. W. WILCOX and B. F. MORGAN.
--The funeral of W. B. HAKES was held from his late home in Murray
yesterday and was attended by a large number of people. The A. O. U. W.,
to which he belonged, attended in a body. The services was conducted by
Rev. Mr. DECKER, of Gaines. The interment was at the Sandy Creek
Cemetery. The inquest will be resumed to-day in Justice GLIDDEN's office
in Holley, who will receive the testimony on account of the illness of
Coroner TAYLOR. District Attorney STAFFORD, of Albion, will be present.
The utmost privacy is being observed, no one being allowed in the room
but the jury, and the witnesses as they are sworn and the officers of
the law. The following named gentlemen comprise the jury: Hoffman RUGAR,
H. E. STYLES, D. H. BIDWELL, A. M. COPP, W. H. PAYNE, C. C. EVERETT,

remained until yesterday afternoon, and Robert HALE, of South Alabama,
father-in-law of SANDERS, was notified. The body was mangled in a
horrible manner. Both legs and both arms were cut off and the back of
the head crushed in. SANDERS was about 40 years of age and leaves a wife

YATES
Talk of Organizing a National Gas Company at Penn Yan
For some time past Jonathan CHAMPLIN, of Penn Yan, has been operating in
a section of the town known as the "Hollow," with a view of
striking gas and oil. He has drilled two wells, some fifty feet, and in
both instances large quantities of gas have been found. Monday night
quite a party of Penn Yan capitalists visited one of the wells. The gas
was ignited and the flame shot up in the air fully twenty feet, and
burned with a steady and brilliant flame. The flow was somewhat arrested
by the pressure of forty feet of water in the tubing and several leaks
in the outer pipe. Directly under the well which has just been started
are two large veins of gas crossing each other. Drilling will be
continued very shortly. A movement is on foot in Penn Yan to organize a
stock company and put down a test well under Mr. CHAMPLIN's direction.
--In the town of Milo 1,565 voters were registered Saturday.
