A BRILLIANT WEDDING.
The Marriage of Mr. John Young and Miss Katie Schum.

  Last evening the United Brethren church at the corner of Eighth 
avenue and Twelfth street, was filled with a large and fashionable 
gathering to witness the nuptials of Mr. John Young, a hardware 
merchant of Annville, Lebanon county, and Miss Katie Schum, daughter of 
William Schum, a company employe of this city.  The church was 
decorated for the occasion with flowers and evergreens.  A bridal bell 
composed of bright colored flowers was suspended over the heads of the 
couple.  At 8:30 o'clock the couple walked into the church together, 
following Thomas Rutherford and Miss Agnes Morrow and Harvey M. 
Denininger [sic] and Miss Trees.  They walked up the aisle to the music 
of the "Wedding March," rendered by Miss Bertha Shoemaker, on the 
organ.  The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Spangler.  The invited 
guests then adjourned to the house of the bride's parents, on Seventh 
avenue between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, where a most enjoyable 
evening was passed.  The bride received many handsome and valuable 
presents, among which may be mentioned the following: A silver castor, 
Mrs. J. Peight.  Silver butter dish, William S. Lee.  A pair of silver 
pickle stands and fork, Miss Lizzie Trees.  Silver napkin rings, H. B. 
McCumpsey.  Tea set, A. M. Steward.  Clock, George Worley and wife.  A

Emma E. Schaeffer.  Many other valuable and pretty presents were 
received.  The Mountain City Band tendered the young couple a serenade, 
which was appreciated.  They left this morning on fast line to enjoy 
their honeymoon at Annville, the home of the husband.  We tender them 
our hearty congratulations and wish them a prosperous voyage down the 
stream of time.  The flowers for the occasion were furnished by Myers, 
the well-known florist.  They were very tastefully arranged and 
consisted of tea roses, geraniums, smila, white verbenas, passi flora, 
camellias and phlox.
