A Wedding at St. John's.

Nuptial high mass was celebrated at St. John's Catholic church at 8
o'clock Tuesday morning, the occasion being the marriage of Mr. Joseph
Butler and Miss Mary E. Smith, both of this city, Rev. Father Smith
officiating.  The attendants were Mr. James Smith, brother of the
bride, and Miss Annie Flanigan.  The bride and bridesmaid were
handsomely arrayed in white satin, while the groom and his attendant
were dressed in the conventional black.  Mrs. George Fresh presided at
the organ and with the choir, composed of Misses Cullen and Mr. James
Gattan, rendered exquisite music.  After the ceremony a reception was
held at the residence of the bride, and here the happy couple were the
recipients of many handsome and useful presents.  In the evening the
Happy Social club rendered some sweet music at the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. Smith.  The newly wedded couple departed on day express on a
ten days' trip to cities in the east.  They were accompanied by the
well wishes of their many friends.  Mr. Butler is a young gentleman
who has many friends in this city who will wish him any quantity of
happiness.  He is a machinist by trade and has charge of a gang of men
in the upper round house.  The bride is a daughter of Mr. James R.
Smith, of No. 1216 Thirteenth avenue, and is well fitted to make the
home of her husband a happy one.  The TRIBUNE extends its
congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Butler and hopes they may have a happy
married life.
