TAYLOR A first-Class [What is that?—Ed. S. A.] matrimonial event (says a telegra m from Johannesburg, dated March 10, to a Kimberley paper) came off at St . Mary’s this morning, when Mr. J. B. Taylor, Pretoria, member of the Hou se of Eckstein, led to the altar Miss Mary Gordon, daughter of Dr. Charle s Gordon, M.D., of Pietermaritzburg. The weather, though by no means bril liant, was at any rate a great improvement upon that of a few days previo us, and did not absolutely debar the youth and beauty of the Camp from sp orting the smart frocks which had been specially made for the occasion. T he wedding took place from the residence of Mr. H. A. Rogers, which had b een temporarily enlarged by the addition of a couple of annexes for the o ccasion. The Church was thronged as it had never been thronged for such a n event, long before eleven o’clock, the appointed time of the bridal par ty’s arrival. Mr. Taylor arrived to the minute attended by Mr. Bettelhei m and Mr. Eckstein. The bride appeared about half-past eleven, on the ar m of her father, her single bridesmaid being Miss Taylor, sister of the b ridegroom. Two little nieces, Phyllis and Dorothy Rogers, were likewise i n attendance. The bride was robed in a sweet dress from Duncan’s of Cap e Town, the skirt and bodice of which were composed of cream merveillieux , veiled with chiffon, with broad chiffon flounces at the base, a train o f handsome brocade fell from the shoulder, and there was of course the us ual spray of orange blossoms. The wedding veil, of Honiton lace, had bee n worn by the bride’s mother on the occasion of her marriage. Miss Taylo r wore a charming dress of brocaded silk, pale heliotrope, with pink trim mings. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. F. H. Fisher, assisted by t he Rev. J. Darragh. The party afterwards adjourned to Mr. H. A. Rogers’ r esidence, where the usual toasts were honoured. The cake was a chef d’oeu vre in art of this description, and elicited universal commendation for t he makers, Messrs. Dix and Son, of Capes Town. Shortly before one o’cloc k the newly-wedded couple left amid a shower of favours for Irene Estate , where they purpose spending their honeymoon. The bridegroom’s present s to the bride included a silver-mounted dressing bag, gold watch and cha in, diamond and sapphire ring, diamond aigrette, diamond and sapphire bra celet and diamond bracelet. The bridesmaids received a gold bangle with m onogram “J.B.T.,” a present also from the bridegroom. The presents were v ery numerous. ATTEMPT TO ROB THE NATAL TREASURY A most determined attempt was recently made to rob the Colonial Treasur y in the Court Gardens, Pietermaritzburg. P. C. Edwards, when on his roun d of inspection, discovered that an attempt had been made to burst the do or, and also to force the bars of one of the windows. A heavy crowbar, sh arply pointed at one end, which belongs to a tank close by, was found i n the vicinity of the building, and had evidently been used. The window s are all firmly barred, and the bars are let into a sill composed of cem ent. The thief or thieves first chipped away the cement from the bottom c ross-rail which connects the bars together, and getting the crowbar unde r it attempted to force the whole out of its position. He evidently spen t a good deal of time in the effort, but failed to effect his purpose. H e then appears to have attempted to remove the whole sill by extractin g a brick at the side; but this was also too much for him. An attempt, i t appears, was next made to burst the door, first by forcing the crowba r in at the side and then by lifting the door by using the crowbar as a l ever at the bottom. In this latter performance the operator broke a piec e out of the floor and also out of the door. Whether he was disturbed a t this task by the police is not certain, but from the appearance of th e door it is very likely he was, as had he persevered he would certainl y have effected an entrance. The remarkable part of the business is tha t a large number of Government natives sleep in huts in the immediate vic inity of the premises, but none of them seem to have heard the burglar a t his work. The police have the matter in hand, but have not succeeded i n capturing the culprit up to the present. 18 April 1891 BIRTHS ABINGTON—On March 14, at Mafeking, British Bechuanaland, the wife of Mr .
