Ono of tho most Interesting wed dings of thc season, and one sur rounded by tue most romantic cir cumstances, was that solemnized at St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church at. 7.30 o'clock last evening, when Mrs. Nina M. Gaillard, of this city, and William B. Lovell, ot- Sabula, Iowa, were united In marriage by Kev. Robert h. Holroyd, pastor ol tho church. Little Miss Ruth'Gaillard, a grand daughter of the bride, entered the church immediately in front of tho bride and groom, while Mrs. .1. II. Allen rendered the wedding march.

Mr. and Mrs. Lovell will leave at once for Felton, Oriente, Cuba, where they will spend the winter. Mrs. Lovell has many friends in Greenville and tho surrounding country who will regret to learn of her departure. She comes from ono of the oldest families of this section of the State and has a family connection that is both wide and prominent. Mr. Lovell is a highly esteemed business man of Iowa, and though he is a st ranger in tl reen ville, he has Impressed those who have known him- only since his arrival here Wednesday as a gen!lo man of sterling worth. After March 1st. Mr. and Mrs. Lovell will he al home to their friends in Sabula, Iowa, the home ol' the groom. This marriage is the culmination of so romantic a courtship? and the circumstances leading up to it are so unusual, that it renders the tempta tion to relate more than the bare ac count of the wedding co re mon y irre sistible to the man with knowledge Of what constitutes a good "story" in newspaperdom. Mrs. Lovell needs no introduction locally. For a number ol' years she has made her home In this city, her husband, a well-known and talented printer, dying several years ago. She is related to some of the most promi nent families of this section and her self conies from an old and honored family. Mr. Lovell is a native of iowa, and has thal typical Western demeanor about him. frank, open, big-hearted, plain, and yet withal the refinement and culture that goes to make np a gentleman; He brings with him numerous letters of intro duction ami recommendation from iron of position and prominence in his home eily, fie is recommended in tin? most nattering terms as a gentleman ol' unquestioned worth, thrifty, prominent and one who has been eminently successful in busi ness. Mr. Lovell saw Greenville for the first lime Wednesday and also saw Mrs. Lovell for the first time on thal day. Several years ago a citizen ol' this State emigrated to Iowa and lo cated in tho city where Mr. Lovell lived. These two became acquainted, and as time moved on their acquaint ... o ripened into one of the warmest friendships. Tin? South Carolinian was well acquainted with Mrs. Lovell (then Mrs. Gaillard) and naturally referred to her ever and anon In Mr. Lovell's presence. In time Mr. Lovell and Mrs. Gaillard wore intro duced hy let 1er by the Sont li Caro linian and a correspondence between the two ensued. This continued and developed into a courtship which cul. mlnated in their marriage last even ing. The above announcement will he read witli great interest to many In Oconoe, Whore the bride is well and favorably known, and where she has numerous friends, who will join willi us in hearty good wishes for her and congratulations to Ibo fort?nale groom. They will carry with them to their home in Iowa the very best wishes of many all over the upper section of South Carolina.

Just before dusk it began lo snow, big wet flakes that elur.g softly to overything-tree J and shrubs and buildings, thc long festoons of Christ inas greens decorating thc front?; of tho stores, tho heads and shoulders ol' the Christmas crowds which went pushing down Seventh street, swing ing gally through the doorways of the biggest stores. Being a Christ mas crowd lt liked the snow; there was scant room for umbrellas, but nobody seemed to mind; the car riage folk had nearly all gone home and it was the people's hour from now on Until ten, eleven, midnight! and the people had a heart for Christ mas, and took it kindly that nature should play her part so well, lt was in the front of tho Elve and Ten cent store, where tho crowd was densest that a round, shabby, bald headed little man found himself but ting into a young fellow in front of liim. "lieu; pardon," he gasped chi fully. "Nothing personal inlendcv - it was a surprise to me myself. Seem ed lilu' the sidewalk heaved up un der me. But nobody minds trifles on Christmas R-" lt was a glimpse of the man's face that cut him short, lie stood stalin-; afier the tall H gu re cutting Its way impatiently through the throngs, till the crowd, good natured, hut having no time to waste 111 walking around obtsructioiis recalled him to himself. "All right," he returned absently a pointed remonstrance. "Jest's you say." Bul t bough be moved on with the rest, it was some moments before, he recovered bis gaiety; it j bad been no Cb list mas face that lu1 j had seen. Tho man. meanwhile, his hands thrust in Iiis pockets, his hollow eyes glaring fiercely from his haggard young face, was fast getting free from tho throngs thal clogged the square. Ile pushed Iiis way relent lessly, yielding to nothing. Moro than once, some one turning with In dignant remonstrance, after a glance nt bis face, silently gave way for him. Ile was not conscious of it; he was conscious of no detail of tho maddening horror that yet. over whelmed him like some terror of fever dreams. For tho five weeks since he left the hospital, he had been walking the streets In quest for work, first hopeful, thee dogged, then des perate, but he never had walked Into (.bristnias Eve before. He had berni so confident when he kissed Annie good-bye in the morning--or rather Annie h;Hl been so confident that she had convinced him. She felt lt com ing, she said. It was coming surely. Their road-the long, bittre, heart breaking road they had traveled since his fever last July, was going to turn on Christmas Eve Day. she never was mistaken, she declared, lifting her thin, tired face with its unfalter ing blue eyes, to his she never was mistaken when she felt like that. And now Christmas Eve Day had come and gone, and he had walked Its pitiless streets all day, and ho must go homo and loll Annie A sharp push sent him staggering for a second. He looked around in bewilderment.. A young rowdy with a girl hnnging on his arni was swag goring beside him. " M ebbe you think you're a joke, walking over honest folks Uko they was paving stones," he Jeered, "That's Josi to remind you this ls tho land of the free, and there's more where that come from If you want lt." The girl laughed shrilly; then her face changed and, with a jerk she snatched her hand from her compan ion's arm, and darted after tho man who, with one bewildered glance, had gone on without a word, lt was not easy to overtake him, but she did lt nt last. He turned at the touch on his arni. The eyes in Hie sharp rug ged face looking up at him from un der a huge hat loaded with cheap feathers, read him instantly. "You needn't squirm," the girl said, "I ain't going to bother you. I jest saw your face and knew you I wore up against lt-ain't yo?" In spite of himself tho man nod ded, staring spellbound. It was mon strous, Impossible, and yet a look in the girl's eyes reminded him of Annie ! Tho girl nodded hack. "I knew it. Well, I jest ran after you to say -Don't you funk. You ain't reach ed the end of things yet. Keep your grip. And say-lt's kiddish, but never mind .Merry Christmas." Ile barely caught the last words, for sho was dodging under the basket of a fat woman, worming lier way back. He caught one glimpso of the dirty white plumes and a shoulder of the cheap velvet jacket beyond a group of laughing children, then others came in between and she was swal ?J? c J. rji ?I? *|? ?|? *J* ?I* ?J? ?J? ?J. vj? as Eve. * SON THURSTON. * ?J? ?J? ?J? ?J? ?J? ?J* ?J. ?J? ?J?) ?J? ?|? ?j? lowed up in tho crowd. The man drew a long breath and looked around him like one just waking. It seemed Incredible and yet It had happened! he shrugged his should ers as though to free himself of some Incubus, and pushed on with a dif ferent step. He was still anxious to escalio the crowd In whose holiday making he bad no place, but he no longer walked unseeing. Ho even caught and steadied an old woman who was jostled against him, and tho trivial service did Its part in Utting Iiis despondency. And then, just be yond tho crossing, lt happened. A white gleam In the slime of tho street caught bis oyo and stooping down, he picked up a silver quarter. His first impulso was to liing lt back for some child or beggar to lind, then, a hoi red staining his hollow cheeks, he slowly pul it into bis pocket. He had no right; he knew, to do otherwise; the minute, heart-breaking arithmetic of the past months had made him too oxperl in values. Hut-that his one Christmas gift to Annie should be a quarter picked up In the street! lt was the bitterest drop lu all bis cup of humiliation. Ile escaped tho bright, crowded Stree! at last; lie had still a mlle to go before he reached home; he chose the darker, emptier districts, but not even in those could he escape the Christmas spirit. Crude paper wreaths wen tied at dingy windows; red Christmas bells hung in tiny gro ceries or even before the doors of saloons; here and there a scarggly pine- the best the city, far from Northern spruces, could offer- was surrounded by an excited group of children. Fruit .md nuts and cheap candies were enticingly displayed, and the ear-piercing racket of tin lunns was unceasing. The man hur ried ; trough it all with the grim des peration of one beating Iiis way against physical obstacles. He felt like a swimmer who knows lils strength going. He must reach An nie before--before what he could not say even to himself, desperately hold ing his thoughts from the black abyss that lay beyond. lt was nearly seven when be reach ed home. The yen* before home had meant a cheerful little Hal facing a triangle of green, which, tiny as it was, had yet caught the (diann of the passing seasons. I'pon this 2 Ith ol' December home meant one room in a dismal house with an Irish family below and a crippled dressmaker next door, and the Lord knew who on the floor above; hurrying through the narrow, desolate halls he had met from time to time other hurrying figures, but ho never looked up. He did not want to see them. What n world to bring Annie into-the thought always brought the grim mest look into his eyes. Annie Annie whom be was going to shield from every harsh breath -living with noisy Irish women and crippled dress makers and doddering old men! lt was all heavy upon him as he stopped ?it his door, lt was opened before bis hand touched the knob and Annie stood before him. Ho had a bewildered feeling that she was very much dressed up, but lt was only a scrap of crimson ribbon in her hair a blt of woman's magic. Ile dealt the blow rudely, bluntly, before cour age failed him altogether, "Nothing, Annie, I tried all day-" 11^ choked over the word and Hu n, at an end at last, dropped weakly Into a Chair, burying his head in Iiis arms. Annie ran and knelt beside him, her poor scrap ol' red ribbon brushing his cheek. Her voice was light, almost, gay. "Poor, tired, big boy. Never mind, lt's all over now, and It's (Mir1-*mas 10ve and there's a hot sup per. Hun and get ready, dear boy, while I put things on tho table." He Hf et od his haggard face. "Christinas Eve, Annie, and I haven't a thing for you except that. I found it In the street. A-" Ile broke off, staring at the sud den light in her face. "(), a whole quarter! We can go Chi iitmasing after supper-you and 1. And look hero! " She drew him across tho room and lifted a towel from the top of tho sowing machine. Beneath lay n few trilles - a baby's cap, a ncedlcbuok, two or three paper dolls and some cornucopias of colored paper. "I did them to-day--just out of things I had, you know, hits of rib bon and paper; tho cap out of a hand kerchief-O, what's the use of trying to explain as If," with a happy laugh, "a mari* could understand!

GIRL ACQUITTED OF CRIME. HatOo Do Diane Found Not Guilty of Shooting of Clarence F. GIO Ver. Cambridge. Mass., Doc. 14.-Hat- . tie Do Diane's pathetic plea that abo bo allowed to go back to her home in West Aricbat, C. D., with lier father, was granted to-day when a jury, af ter deliberating an hour and a half, decided that Bhe was not guilty of tho murder of Clarence F, Glover, a laundryman at Waltham. The verdict was a popular ono so popular that the traditional deco rum of a Massachusetts court was swept asido willie men and women cheered, shouted and wept for sheer joy. Tho demonstration continued for 1 ."> or 20 minutes and tho court officials were utterly powerless to stem the tide of enthusiasm. The crowd in the corridors took up the cheers of tho throng that was packed in the court room and there came an swering cheers from a company of more than 2,000 men and women who had assembled in the quadrangle in front of the court house and in th? surrounding streets of East Cam bridge. Immediately after tho girl had been discharged from custody Assist ant District Attorney Wier endi i.or ed to persuade Judge Bond to hold Hattie as a witness to give evidence before the grand jury which might warrant ibo indictment of Mrs. Lll liant M. Glover, tho widow of the murdered man, who had been accus ed by counsel for the defense of be ing the real culprit tn the ?'ase. Judge Bond declined to grant tile request-, saying thal the evidence pre sented against Mrs. Glover in tho pi osent trial was insufficient to con vict, and that if a jury in his court should convict on such evidence the judge would set aside the verdict. Last spring Mrs. Glover was acquit ted of a charge of being an accessory after tho fact. Mrs. Glover was not in tho court j when the verdict of the jury was re I turned. When informed at her Wal ' thain home of the result, she receiv ed the news coldly. "Does it surprise you?" she was j asked. "Weil, no," she replied.
