ANOTHER WEDDING Marriage of Mr. James H. Baer, of Philadelphia, and Miss Lilah Work, of Altoona. The merry month of June is a favorite one among those who have their minds matrimonially inclined, it being chosen by many as the one in which their marriage shall take place. In June the roses are in bloom and all this old world of ours puts on the mantle of verdure, and nature in consequence seems in an indulgent and lovely mood. When thought it may occasionally rain on a wedding day, the idea, at one time prevalent that it was unlucky for a marriage to occur on a rainy day, has been dissipated, and very properly, too, by the advancement of knowledge in the nineteenth century. Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock, in this city, another worthy young couple were joined in the bonds of holy wedlock in the presence of a number of their friends. We refer to the pleasant social event which occurred at the hour stated at the residence of Mr. L. P. Work, No. 1314 Eleventh avenue, it being the marriage of his youngest daughter, Miss Lilah, to Mr. James H. Baer, formerly of this city, but now of Philadelphia. Rev. J. B. Shaver, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church, officiated, and there were present to witness the ceremony the following ladies and gentlemen: Mr. and Mrs. J. Fred Snyder, Mrs. J. B. shaver, Mrs. J. B. Hileman, Misses Clara Taylor, Lizzie Baier, Maria Shoemaker, Sallie Shank, Jennie Smith, Hattie Delo, Jennie Osborne, Messers. John Loudon, John A. Baer, John A. Smith, Theo. Burchfield, G. A. Baer, Clayton Houck, Altoona; Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Coulter and Miss Rea Hart, Johnstown, Mrs. M. W. Isenberg, Shirleysburg, Huntingdon county, and Messrs. Thomas. Bell and Charles Marlow, of Philadelphia. The newly wed couple were the recipients of a large number of most beautiful as well as useful presents from their friends. the marriage ceremony concluded, Mr. and Mrs. Baer were warmly congratulated and many were the wishes expressed for their future happiness. An elegant collation was served during the evening and a few minutes after 9 o'clock the newly married couple were driven to the station where they embarked on Philadelphia express eastward bound. For their wedding tour they will visit Cape May and other pointes of interests on the Atlantic coast. They will make Philadelphia their future home. The bride is a most estimable young lady and one who is very highly thought of by all who have the pleasure of her acquaintance. The groom is a son of Mr. John A. Baer of this city. He at one time was night agent at the Pennsylvania ticket office in this city, but for several years past has held a position in the claims department of the general freight office of the same road in Philadelphia. He is a general favorite among his acquaintances and an excellent young man. The Tribune hopes their married life may be a very pleasant one. ----------------------------------- THROWN FROM A WAGON What might have been a very serious accident occurred Wednesday morning at the Ninth street crossing. Messrs. Harry Nixdorf and George Streit, were driving to the east side of the city and were in the ice cream delivery wagon of Mr. Nixdorf. They were behind several other teams all waiting for a signal to go ahead and when this was given by the watchman the procession began. When partially over the horse, attached to the wagon in which were seated the two gentlemen named above, became frightened at the rattling of the vehicles ahead of it and becoming restless started off rather rapidly. Mr. Streit was driving and in turning out of the way of another vehicle he was throw to the ground by the foot board coming loose. Mr. Nixdorf was also throw out but sustained no injuries. Mr. Streit was not so fortunate. In falling the lines became entangled about his legs and he was dragged some twenty-five feet before he could extricate himself. His left thumb was broken and he received a number of painful bruises. The horse went up on Ninth street to Fifth avenue where he was stopped. The wagon was not damaged to any great extent nor was the horse. The animal is usually very quiet and it required something more than ordinary to frighten him. Mr. Streit's injuries were attended by a physician. ------------------- FRANKSTOWN FINDINGS When Michael Geesey was unloading some material for his house on of the horses in the wagon became frightened, and kicking, striking Mr. Geesey on the arm and broke it.
