The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Francis K. ALLEN of Pittsford, formerly of East Pembroke, in the presence of forty guests. To the strains of Mendelssohn's "Wedding March," played by Miss Ambia ROWLAND of Rochester, the bridal party took places in a semi-circle beneath a canopy of evergreen, pine and flowers and under a huge bell in the parlor. Erwin G. CONSTABLE of Batavia was the groomsman and Miss Elsie W. MARCUS, sister of the groom, was the maid of honor. Miss MACE of Rochester and Miss HEWLETT of Irondequoit, cousins of the bride, were the bridesmaids, and they were accompanied by Edward and Charles EVANS, brothers of the bride. The flower girl was Florence EVANS, a niece of the bride, and the ring bearer was Evans BARKER, a nephew of the bride. The bride's gown was of creme white crepe meteor, trimmed with Valenciennes lace and pearl ornaments. Miss MARCUS wore a pink crepe de chine gown, trimmed with shadow lace and pearls. Miss MACE wore a gown of a deeper shade of pink and Miss HEWLITT's gown was of a deep shade of pink satin. Twelve were seated at the bride's table for dinner and the guests were seated at small tables. After an eastern trip Mr. and Mrs. MARCUS will be at home after February 1st with the groom's father on the Byron road. * Two Davis Brothers Plead Intoxication Took Rig at Darien, which was not Theirs Earl and Dayton DAVIS, former residents of Batavia and Alexander, now employed at the stoker plant in Attica, were arrested on Saturday afternoon in Attica by Deputy Sheriff YATES of Darien, charged with stealing a horse and cutter owned by Mrs. Frank STEDMAN of Bennington. They were lodged in jail in Batavia and were taken to Darien before Justice SHIRM. It appears that DAVIS brothers and a son of Mrs. STEDMAN attended a dance at Darien Center on Thursday evening. Early on Friday morning the brothers took the STEDMAN rig and drove to Attica. They abandoned it in the sheds of the St. James hotel, where it was discovered. The men do not deny taking the rig, but claim that they were intoxicated at the time. It is expected that the two will waive examination and allow their case to go directly to the grand jury. * Moose of Batavia Decided to Proceed Members are to Organize a Military Company Members of the Loyal Order of Moose, who met at their home on Ellicott street yesterday afternoon, determined to proceed with arrangements to form a military company within the organization, according to the plans of the supreme council of the order. Thirty-five names were secured at yesterday's meeting for the proposed new company and, as only 21 names are necessary to obtain a charter, it is expected that the plans will be carried out. Another meeting will be held Wednesday evening for the purpose of listening to an officer of the order from Rochester tell about the steps necessary to form a company and at that time the application for a charter will be signed. It is also expected to enroll additional names. * submitted by Linda Schmidt *********************************************
