HAMMEL - HARTLE.
A Brilliant Wedding - Fine Entertainment and Numerous Presents.

  A cheerful company was gathered at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. 
Jacob Hartle, on Fifth avenue, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth 
streets, on Thursday evening, 13th inst., to witness the marriage of 
their daughter Lile to Mr. Good Hammel.  The whole lower part of the 
house was handsomely decorated with evergreen, etc., and neither time 
nor trouble had been spared to make the occasion a joyous one.  At half 
past 7 o'clock, while Miss Aggie Morrow, who presided at the organ, 
played a wedding march the bridal pair, with Miss Alice Burley and Miss 
Lizzie Hooper as bridesmaids and Mr. J. G. Myers and T. P. Clegg as 
groomsmen, entered the parlor, where Rev. J. B. Young performed the 
ceremony which united two hearts for life.  The bride wore a handsome 
pearl-colored silk dress, Miss Burley a fine bronze silk dress, Miss 
Hooper a fine black grosgrain silk dress and Mrs. J. O. Freet, who 
acted as usher on the occasion, a pretty black silk.
  After the congratulations of friends and acquaintances supper was 
announced.  The table was very finely decorated.  At either end stood a 
monster cake fancifully iced, and in the centre stood the bride's cake, 
while the sides were graced with a number of smaller ones, but not less 
pleasing to the taste.  These, with the many other articles which go to 
make up a nice table, made a very pleasing effect.  At half-past 9 
o'clock the Altoona City Band appeared and tendered the company a 
serenade.  To say the company was pleased with the music would give but 
little idea of their appreciation of it.  After several pieces had been 
played by the band they were invited in to partake of the feast.  The 
bride was the recipient of many valuable and handsome presents, among 
which we noticed the following: A fine gold watch and chain and a 
bedroom suite, by the bride's parents; a handsome gold ring with cameo 
setting, by the groom; a very fine oil painting, by the bridesmaids;
