MAGEE - MAJOR.

  A pretty wedding was that of Mr. Thomas Griffith Magee and Miss 
Martha Catharine Major, solemnized at the First Baptist church last 
evening.  The happy young couple attended by Mr. David Magee as best 
man, and Miss Mary Major, a sister of the bride, as bridesmaid, entered 
the church to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march rendered by 
Mrs. Dr. A. L. Spanogle.  They advanced to the altar where Rev. J. S. 
James, D.D., performed the beautiful ring ceremony.  At its conclusion 
Lohengrin's recessional was rendered and the newly married couple left 
the auditorium and entered the church parlor where they received the 
congratulations of the immediate relatives who were in attendance to 
witness the ceremony.  Mr. Magee is a popular young man and is the 
proprietor of the Imperial cafe.  The bride is the daughter of Mr. 
George Major, of 919 Green avenue, and is a very estimable young lady.  
She had been for several years bookkeeper at the Grand Union Tea 
company's store.  She has a host of friends and received numerous 
handsome presents.  Mr. and Mrs. Magee left on Philadelphia express to 
visit Philadelphia, New York and other eastern cities, and on their 
return will be at home to friends at 1105 Thirteenth street.
