As the bridal party entered the church Mendelssohn's wedding march was played on the organ by Miss Maggie Clifford.The ceremony was performed by Rev. T. J. Gaffney, other priests present being Rev. D.C.Coffey and Rev. Father Barrett of Fair Haven. Immediately after the ceremony there was a solo by Miss Cherry of New York city, who has a rich soprano voice, and a duet by Miss Cherry and Rev. Father Coffey, following which low mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Gaffney. After the wedding the bridal party went to the residence of Mrs. F. Chaffee on South Man street, where an elaborate wedding breakfast was served, followed by a reception. One room was set apart for the display of the many gifts received by the bride; chief among them was a warranty deed of the house and lot on State street now occupied by George T. Chaffee, from F. Chaffee's estate, which was in accordance with a request of Mr. Chaffee before his death. Mr. and Mrs. Moloney left for New York on the passenger train over the Bennington and Rutland road at 11:15 o'clock, and will visit Washington before returning.
