Assets A “nun natures; ‘ Alice lay and illarriei Edna Sherwood Married at lie- morial church «he Holy Trinity at iWeslporl. ' Miss Alice Becomes Mrs. Irwin and Miss Edna, Mrs. Yarnall. Memorial Church of the Holy Trinity, at Westport, was the scene‘of a double wedding yesterday afternoon. The brides were daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Sherwood, 0f Greens Farms. Miss Alice May Sherwood became the wife of Lewis H. Irwin, a New. York broker, and Miss Harriet Edna Sher- wood the bride of Vernon H. Yarnall, an electrical expert of Boston. The marriage party gathered at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Newkirk on Mor gan avenue in Norwalk, and from there took carriages to the church. Mrs. N ewkirk is a sister of the brides. Mr. Irwm’s best man was his brother, Harry Irwin of Brooklyn, and Mr. Yarnall’s best man was George Scales of Boston. There were no brides- The ushers were A. Preston Sherwood of Bridgeport, brother of the brides, George E. Curtis of Nor- w‘alk, K. W. Mansfield of South Nor- walk, Henry Dougherty of New York, maids. Charles Wheeler of Bergen Point, N. J. ,‘and Robert Orchard of New York. “NOtwithstanding the weather, Trinity church was crowded inclement to-its capacity with friends to witness the double nuptial service of the sisters. During the wait for the appearance Of‘th'e bridal party, Mr. RT. Percy, or- ganist of the Marble Collegiate church New York city, of which Miss Alice is coniralto soloist, rendered a number of choice selections. Promptly at 4 O’clock the bridal party preceded by the ushers and best men, proceeded up the ailse to the sweet strains Of the wedding march from Lohengrin. The brides were attired alike, in white Silk poplin, cut en train with trimmings of duchess lace and chiffon.‘ They wore white silk poplin hats, with Italian velvet and plumes. Each carried a boquet' of lilies of the valley roses. The bridal couples were met at the altar by Rev. Kenneth McKenzie, rector of Trinity, who performed the double ceremony using the beautiful and impressive Episcopal service. On account of the cloudiness the church was brilliantly lighted with incandescent lights, and with the the handsome toilet of the guests and floral decorations by Florist R. G. Han- ford, presented a sight long to be remembered. NO reception followed the double ser- service, both couples and their friends departed on the afternoon trains. Mr. and Mrs. Irwin after their honeymoon will take up their temporary residence at the St. George hotel in Brooklyn, and later will go to housekeeping. Mr. and Mrs. Yarnall will reside in Boston, ‘ but later will remove to New York. The guests left behind them 12 tables loaded with wedding gifts,an aggregate of 300, and about equally divided. Of course, they are handsome. Mr. Ir- win’s gift to his bride was a grand piano. Mr. Yarnall’s gift was a gold watch with fleur de lis attachment, the latter covered with pearls and dia- monds. One of the features of the presents was the large number of cash gifts. The marriages of the two sisters is the culmination Of two pretty romances. Miss Alice began her engagement at the New York church last May. Her contralto singing instantly attracted attention, and shortly afterward her portrait appeared in the New York Tribune. It wasa faithful likeness (for a newSpaper), and attracted the attentiOn of Lewis H. Irwin, a broker, who fell in love with the picture. That is, he told'some of his friends, hat the picture supplied his notions of an ideal, and he wanted to get ac- quainted. An introduction. followed through the offices of a member of the church. These who profess to know all about it, say that Mr. Irwin found the portrait was only a poor counterfeit presentment, that it was a case of love at first sight, with a reciprocity Of feel- ing. Anyway, their lines ran smoothly, and within 'a‘month they were gogaged and yesterday were wedded. ll" Miss Edna’s meeting with her hus band for the first time was no less novel. Vernon H. Yarnall is an elec- trician in the employ of the Metropoli: tan Construction Co. of New York. Over a. year ago he was in Norwalk' on In pursuit of It be wan- dered to the residence of Dr. Newkirk, desiring some information regarding certain Norwalk parties. Miss Edna, who happened to be stopping at the house at the time, answered the door business. bell. , Mr. Yarnall, being an electrician ‘ was used to shocks, but in this instance he experienced ,a delightful thrill They talked He prolonged his conversa- tion as much as good breeding would at the feminine vision. a minute. allow, and went away with a fixed idea that he had‘met his fate. He talked about the fair unknown to some Nor- walk acquaintances. They tried to assist him, and advised him to go over to the Sherwood houselin Westport and make inquiries, as the Sherwoods were related to the Newkirks. This time Mr. Yarnall had a letter of introduction to the Sherwoods, and expected that through their kind offi- ces he could secure an introduction to the fair unknown at the home Of Dr. N ewkirk. His surprise was great when he found that the same girl answered the Sherwood door bell. N ow Mr. Yarnall understands how to get over shocks, for that is his business. He told Miss Edna that he had a letter of introduction in his pocket, and he fur- ther told her the ultimate object of the aforesaid letter. In brief he threw himself at her mercy, and she had merr cy on him. Their engagement followed Shortly after, and yesterday they too, were wedded. .__ ____._‘. . p _ .__-_.___ __ Robert S. White, of Ridgefield, was before the criminal court in Bridge- port on Wednesday upon the charge of burglarizing the house Of J. Howard King on the High Ridge road, the morning of October 12. ‘ White is suffer- ing from a mild form Of dementia. He went to the house at 10 in the morning and deliberately smashed a pane of glass. He was seen by Samuel Nichols, who watched him climb in the window, and pull down the shade. Nichols gave the alarm and the crazy burglar was captured. Dr. George L. Porter testified that he had examined the prisoner, and that he was not responsible for his acts. Mr. Fessenden then asked that the jury be instructed to bring in a verdict of not guilty on the sole ground of in- sanity. - \W’hite is a middle aged man of decent appearance. He says he recently lost his father, mother and sister, and that for weeks he existed on nothing but apples. He broke into the house to get something to eat. He is apparently rational at times. Judge Elmer com- mitted him to the state hospital for the insane for two years. 4“ ‘v Dr. Nancy A Guilford and the Others who are under indictment for causing the death of Emma Gill, will not be tried until the February term of the criminal superior court. The decision in regard to these cases was reached on Wednesday when it be- came evident to State’s AttorneySamuel Fessenden that it will be impossible to get Dr. Guilford back into this coun- try before the latter part of November. ————<o.o>————-— J. Edward Russell, of Orchard street, was tendered a surprise party Tuesday night, by several members Of the Twin City VVheelmen’s club. ‘ Games of cards'were' played, and a very tempting collation was served ’ by Mrs. Russell and Miss Carrie Schumann.

The Republican caucus for the nomi— nation Of a candidate for representative and justices of the peace from the first and third voting districts, was held last evening in the town assembly ‘ rooms. Shortly before the time announced for the meeting, several voters congre- gated in front of the entrance to the building, and were not a little provoked to find'that the hall was not Open. This tantalizing fact was in no Wise enhanced by the further fact that it was raining hard. ‘ After a season of patient waiting the “crowd” finally was given protection by the opening of the doors, and there was a lively hustle for the meeting room. Committeeman Francis Leonard call- ed the assembly, in number about thirty, to order, and E. O. Keeler wal elected. chairman and J. A. Carier secretary. Business was immediately commenc- ed by the chair asking for a ballot for the nomination Of a candidate for representative to theGeneralAssembly. Messrs. Goold Hoyt and E. S. Adams were selected as tellers. The results of the ballot was an- ' nounced to be: J. Belden Hurlbutt, 24 Asa B. Woodward, 2 Mr. Hurlbutt was declared to be the choice of the meeting. On motion the chairman appointed Messrs. John H. Hoyt, E. M. Lockwood and O. W. Raymond, a committee to present a list of candidates for the Offices of,justices of the peace. While the committee was trying to agree upon candidates the chair sug- gested that a speech by nominee Hurl- butt would not be out of order. Mr. Hurlbutt responded briefly. He said that he had been at work night and day on cases that were or would be in the courts, and was too tired to speak at length. He thanked the caucus for the honor conferred upon him, and further said, “If I am elected I won’t disgrace Nor-walk. Neither will I make the Republican party sorry that it nominated me.” The speech though brief was warmly applauded. The committee appointed by the chair in the matter of Justices of the peace appointments, reported a dis- agreement in the selection of candi- dates and asked to be excused. The request was granted and the committee discharged. The chair then appointed a new com- mittee in the persons of H. P. Price, W. G. LeCount and B. S. Keith, which committee presented the names of JO- seph C. Randle, J. Belden Hurlbutt, O. P. Dexter, George D. 'Keeler and W. N. Simonds. It was proposed that the full list as presented be placed in nomination by acclamation. ‘J. H. Hoyt called for a ballot on each candidate, claiming that there might be objections to some Of the names pre- sented and that a vote for them singly would the better give an Opportunity for an expression of the wishes of those present as to who should be nominated. The first ballot resulted in the choice ofJ. Belden Hurlbutt and the second ballot landed O. P. Dexter on the same bench. Previous to further balloting B. W. Maples said: - "I hope that Mr. George D. Keeler has been misrepresented during the past two years. If he has not he is not fitted for a justice of the peace. At my Office I have received complaints, which after Investigation appear to be well founded. The Republican party should nominate candidates who will not cause pubilc scandal.” , The balloting was then continued with the following result. J. 0. Handle, 5; w. N. Simons, 1'; H. P. Price. 8; George D. Keeler‘, 6, Os- car W. Raymond, 4. _ As there was no choice another bal- lot was taken, resulting in Randle’s re- ceiving 14 votes, Keeler 4 and Ray- _ mond 8, and again no choice. The next ballot resulted in the selec- tion of Mr. Randle by a vote of 21 to 6 scattering. The following vote resulted in a tie of 10 to 10 between Messrs. Simone and Lockwood, with six votes credited to the “scattering” side of the court. ' On motion of B. S. Keith Messrs. E. M. Lockwood and Simons were nominat- ed by Reclamation. , On motion of E. M. Lockwood Oscar W. Raymond was also nominated iii a. like manner and the list was complet- ed. . The caucus then adjourned without date.
