The Parties Made Happy by Linking Fortunes for Life. At the First Lutheran church last evening Rev. J. F. Shearer pronounced the words which made Mr. Howard Thomas and Miss Frances H. Brown, both of this city, husband and wife. Quite a party of friends were gathered around to greet the bride in her new estate. Later they adjourned to the residence of the bride, on Eleventh avenue, near Eighteenth street, and were all seated to the wedding feast, which received its share of attention. The party went west on mail last night to spend their honeymoon. The TRIBUNE sends its best wishes to the bonny bride and her noble lord and may their path be lined with roses.
