In Joyous Testimony
On the 27th of last January there
was a quiet wedding in the Clatsop
county court house (the new one),
and the first solemn ceremony of the
ort to transpire in that beautiful
building, the principles being Mr.
Emil Lang and Mrs. Anna Wcdckiug,
both of the metropolis, i in carrying
out the pleasant task assigned him,
Judge Trenchard, who tied the knot,
had to procure witnesses, and sum
moned William Bock and J. S. Del
linger ,of this city, in that service, and
thus equipped, the happy union was
wrought, and the evening train bore
Mr. and Mrs. Lang,away to their new
home in Portland. By way of pleas
ant reminder, there has arrived at Jhis
office a beautiful Boston fern, tubbed
and trimmed, and in fine order; and
each of the parties concerned in the
wedding has been remembered, in
way, by the grateful pair. The groom
is a well known florist in Portland,
and is, presumably, very happy in
his new home; and he certainly has
the best wishes of those with whom
he came in contact here, and Mrs.
Lang, as well. .
Full, Prompt Settlement ' '
William Matthes, representative of
the well known marine brokerage
house of II. C. Harrison & Company,
of San Francisco, Portland and
Seattle, was in this city yesterday and
made a call on his late client, the
Alaska Fishermen's Packing Com
pany, of which W. McGregor is
the bead and front. Harrison & Com
pany placed the insurance on the
American ship John Currier,' which
served this big canning concern last
summer at its Nushagak plant, and
which was wrecked on the return
voyage last August and became a
total loss, ship and cargo. The pack
ing company's end of the insurance
was placed, mainly with Lloyds, of
London, and the St. Paul Fire and
Marine Company, of St. Paul and
though tha losses aggregated in the
neighborhood of $122,000, the last
dollar of it was paid to the A. F. P.
Company, within 60 days after the
wreck was reported; a condition of
affairs very pleasing to the last man
interested and especially to President
McGregor who had the direction of
the affair; and which contributed in
a marked degree to the welcome ex
tended to Mr. Matthes yesterday.
