TYRONE TOPICS.

  Miss Carrie Connell, of this place, and Ross A. Richards, of 
Washington, Pa., were united in marriage by the bride's pastor, Rev. 
Frank Howes, of the First Baptist church, at the home of the bride's 
father, Mr. Thomas E. Connell, on North Logan avenue, above Fourteenth 
street, last evening at half-past 5 o'clock.  The ceremony was 
witnessed by about thirty of the intimate friends of the bride and 
groom.  The bride was gowned very stylishly in gray cloth, wearing a 
toque and gloves to match.  She is a pretty young lady and made a 
handsome appearance in her bridal attire.  The groom wore the 
conventional black suit, and also made a fine appearance.  After the 
marriage had been solemnized, a wedding supper was served, of which all 
the guests partook and spent the time very enjoyably until near 7 
o'clock, when Mr. and Mrs. Richards started for the station.  They 
departed on the Bald Eagle Valley express at 7.15, their destination 
being Erie, Pa., where they will pass part of their honeymoon, and then 
go to Washington, Pa., where they will board until spring, before going 
to housekeeping.  The bride was Mr. Connell's youngest and only 
unmarried daughter.  She is one of our winsome, amiable girls and will 
make Mr. Richards an excellent little wife.  The groom is an 
industrious young man employed at the Tylerdale Tube works, and is 
worthy of the prize that he has won.  The Tribune joins with their many 
friends in wishing them happiness unlimited and that their life may be 
as unclouded as the morning of their wedding.
