Invitations are out announcing the wedding, on Thursday, Sept. 14, of Alexander Brownell Cullen Hardy to Miss Eusebia Florence Bates, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Rufus Bates, of Flint. The groom is a former well-known Ypsilanti young man now in business at Flint. The wedding will occur in St. Paul's church, Flint.

Mrs. Fred Forster who had her husband arrested yesterday for assault and battery came into Justice Childs' court this morning with her mother and an attorney from Wayne. Her husband Fred W. Forster changed his plea of yesterday and plead guilty. This is the same man who on Wednesday followed his wife and finding her in the company of another man whom she says she did not know, proceed to prick him with a knife. The fellow who was stabbed is not known. Forster was fined $2 and costs, the total amounting to 6.80. The other cases on call in judge Childs' court this morning, the O'Brien assault and battery case and the larceny cases of Redeant and Shier were adjourned to Tuesday, Sept. 5.

From Saturday's Daily Argus.

Roy Miller, aged 19 years, died at his home Thursday night. The immediate cause of his death was gangrene. The funeral will be held tomorrow at 3 o'clock and the interment will be in Highland cemetery.

Rev. Gardam gathered his picnickers this morning to the number of 125 and took a special car at 9:45 for the Willam Campbell farm when they will put in the day in sports and a general good time. It is needless to say that the children were happy.

Chas. Andrews was arrested last night for being drunk on the Street. His honor, Justice Childs, after listenng to the story of his condition, gave him $2 and costs amounting to $6.52, or 10 days in Sheriff Gillen's hotel. He did not have the coin so he decided to go and board for 10 days on the ticket which the justice gave him.

It was rumored on the Street yesterday that Robert Hemphili, Jr. had resigned his position with the Detroit, Ypsilanti & Ann Arbor electric railway but it was also denied. It appears to have been true, however. His resignation has been handed in but no reasons for the step are given. Mr. Hemphill has been with the road since it was first opened.

The informal dancing party at the Country club house last night was a very pleasant affair. There were 15 couples present and the time to midnight was spent in tripping the light fantastic. The music was furnished by Mrs. Tyler and Mr. Schaeberle, of Ann Arbor. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The new furniture is now in place, and rustic chairs and setees are placed abont the wide porches and add to the ease and comfort of the sojourners there. The club is starting on its career with every prospect of being no small factor in the society of the county. It is sure to bring the society of the twin cities nearer together and do much good.
