A PLEASANT OCCASION.
A Marriage Feast in Honor of John W. Bricker and Lady.

  A short time ago Mr. John W. Bricker, of this city, was called to 
Maryland on business, as he termed it.  No one, however, appeared to 
know his business so well as he himself.  On the 14th inst., he and 
Miss Ida Warner, of Frizzlesburg, Md., proceeded to Westminster, Md., 
where they were united in marriage by Rev. Moss.  Last evening they 
arrived at this place on fast line, and proceeded to the residence of 
Mr. Peter L. Bricker, Eighth avenue, corner of Fourteenth street, where 
everything was in readiness for them.  At 8 o'clock the invited guests 
began thronging in, and ere long every room in the house was more or 
less filled.  After all were comfortably seated, Miss Minnie Miller, 
sister of Mrs. P. L. Bricker, favored the company with some excellent 
music on the piano, as also did several others of the company.  About 9 
o'clock the call for supper was sounded.
  In the dining room (which was quite large) was a table extending the 
whole length of the room, arranged so as to seat twenty persons 
comfortably.  Every chair being occupied the parties proceeded to eat.  
It was certainly a grand supper, consisting of all the delicacies of 
the season, such as turkey, chicken, coffee, sandwiches and a full line 
of tropical fruits, consisting of oranges, pineapples, bananas and 
various other fruits; also, a number of large cakes handsomely 
decorated and arranged in such a manner as to display the taste of Mrs. 
Bricker and her assistants.  All appeared to have splendid appetites, 
judging from the quantity of viands which disappeared.  Every one 
having done justice to the good things placed before them, they 
proceeded to an adjoining room where dancing was indulged in, Mr. 
William Baker furnishing violin music, while Mr. Charles Fettinger 
called figures.
  At 10 o'clock the Junior Band arrived and tendered the party a 
serenade.  After playing three of their choice selections they were 
invited in by Mr. Bricker.  The table being duly arranged they 
proceeded to supper.  After all had partaken of the delicacies and felt 
well satisfied they indulged in dancing until the clock pealed the hour 
of 12, when they began making preparations for home, all feeling that 
they had had a delightful time.  The number of persons taking supper 
was seventy.  It is understood that the newly-married couple purpose 
taking up housekeeping in this place.
  We wish them success in their undertakings, and a long and prosperous 
journey through life.  To Mr. P. L. Bricker and wife we would say that 
we hope you may always have full and plenty and be able to supply your 
many friends on all such occasions.
