  The house of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. M. Gibson, at Duncansville, will be 
the scene of a felicitous social event this evening, at 8 o'clock, when 
their daughter, Miss Maggie, will be united in marriage with Mr. John 
W. Confer, one of the progressive young merchants of that infant 
borough.

Cupid in His Element.

  A TRIBUNE correspondent at Duncansville writes as follows: A very 
enjoyable and brilliant affair characterized the nuptials last evening 
of Miss Marguerite Gibson and Mr. John W. Confer, of this place.  The 
ceremony was performed at 8 o'clock by Dr. D. H. Barron, pastor of the 
Presbyterian church of Hollidaysburg, assisted by Rev. H. N. Minnigh, 
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church of this place, in the presence 
of sixty or more invited guests.  Miss Nellie Confer, a sister of the 
groom, and Joseph M. Gibson, a brother of the bride, were the 
attendants.
  The bride, a lovely and most estimable young lady, is the only 
daughter of Mr. J. S. M. Gibson and the groom is a young man of 
sterling worth and is a son of Mr. Samuel B. Confer.
  After the conclusion of the ceremony and the congratulations of the 
friends and invited guests, refreshments were served and a very 
enjoyable time was had until the departure of the 10 o'clock train, 
upon which the happy pair departed for an eastern wedding trip, 
followed by the best wishes of the guests - a number of whom attended 
them as far as Altoona.  Mr. and Mrs. Confer, upon their return, will 
reside in this place in the cozy home already prepared for them.  The 
bride and groom were the recipients of many costly, handsome and useful 
presents, too numerous indeed to mention in detail.
