MARYSVILLE, Dec. 30.— The second section of the northbound Oregon express ' met with an accident in the railroad yards in this city at an early hour this morning, the smoker and day coach leaving the rails at a switch just north of thS depot. The smoker was turned over on its side and the passengers piled up In the aisle. Both cars were badly damaged and the*smoker wrecked. The smoker was Hlled with passen gers, all of whom were more or less shaken up, bruised and^cut', by glass and splinters. J"he injured were re moved to the* depot waiting-room, where Dr. Powell of this city attended them. The injured requiring nis as sistance were L.. Hencratt of Cotton wood, cheek and hands cut; J. L. Stars lin, Bonanza, Oregon, face and .wo fingers badly cut; O. E. Naugh, Chlco, back sprained and leg bruised, cut on hands and face; Martin Zambalich, newsboy, cut by broken glass. The de railment was caused by a point of the switch rail being bent. The. train had gone in on a side track to pick up a car containing the Foxy- Grandpa company and was returning to the main line. Several of the cars had passed over the switch when the smoker left the rail and pulled the day ca> otf. Tho train was running very slowly and the cars went quite a distance before tipping over. The wrecking train arrived here about 6 o'clock and at noon the track was cleared. The tiain left on its northern journey about six houi*s late.

A new Grand Jury, to serve for the next six months, will be chosen to day by Judge Murasky. The follow ing thirty citizens have been ordered to appear in his court at 2 o'clock and from among them nineteen will be selected as jurors: Him — Will Select Nineteen. Judge Murasky Orders Thirty Prom inent Citizens to Appear Before NAMES OF PROSPECTIVE GRAND JURORS ARE DRAWN A quiet wedding, that might easily be construed as an elopement, occurred in the parlors of the California Hotel last evening. The contra g parties were Miss Ivy M. Perkins, daughter of the late and well remembered A. f. Per kinp. ar.d Joseph D. Cerkel, a promi nent young grain merchant of Suisun. The wedding was the culmination of a courtship beginning in Suisun, where, for a number of months, the young lady had been en&ageu In teaching school. It was in the latter town that Cerkel first met Miss Perkins and an acquaintance rapidly developed into a iove affair between the young couple. Recently Cerkel became aware of the fact that his attentions to the pretty rchoolmarm were not particularly pleasing to the relatives of the young lady, but apparently the news did not discourage him in his wooing. * When the school vacation began and the fair object of his attentions prepared to re turn to this city to spend the holidays with her widowed mother and sister at their home, 1825 Eddy street, he exact ed a promise of marriage from Miss Perkins, whether or not parental con sent was obtained. Yesterday Cerkel came to this city and caJled upon Miss Perkins to fulfill her pledge, and true to her word she entered into his suggested plans for an immediate ceremony. Horatio Muzzy, a friend of Cerkel. and Miss Lillian Her sog, a cousin of the prospective groom, were taken into the confidence of the young couple and with the assistance of Muzzy arrangements were hastily rr.ade for the Avedding at the California Hotel, and Judge J. C. B. Hebbard was engaged to officiate, a #sity hi= Honor gracefully performed at the appointed hour last evening in the presence of Muzzy and Miss Herzog, who acted as best man and bridesmaid respectively. The wedding over the bridal party adjourned to the sr.pper-room and £fier a repast bride and groom went to a n»ighbori:ig telephone through which they conc«yed to Mrs. Corker* relatives the news o? tbeir marriage and then Foupht the seclupiDn of their apart ments in the hotel to await the mor row and the hopflO-for blessing from Mrs. Perkins and. her daughter.

H«i>ty Marriage Is a Sequel to Youiig Bride's Experience as a Country Schoolteacher PAKKXTS NONE THE WISER The figures were very pretty and ef fective, the dancers going through their paces with contagious merriment. But will some one solve the riddle of why some people take their pleasure so sol emnly? There were some who sat along the wall who looked as though they were attending a "wake" — but, happily. MAVY PRETTY FIGURES. All hail the debutante! In dainty grown and budding beauty she tripped into the ballroom at the Palace Hotel last night to dance her first "big" cotil lon. And she danced it with the effer vescence that makes youth a joy. Her cheeks glowed, her eyes sparkled arid her laughter made merry music "twixt the dances. Ah, but the music was fine! No Teuton masters for the debutante, but the gay, patriotic "Yan kee Doodle" and his compatriot airs. Those are the airs that engulf ennui — and ennui is not to the debutante's lik ing. While the ball was not essentially a debutante function, the dainty buds were there en masse. So, too, were the belles of seasons now agone. Likewise were the matrons there at the genial bidding of the hostess, Mrs. Monroe Salisbury. Her absence, by the way, from the function for which she stands sponsor was universally regretted, and while her illness prevented her attend ance and her cordiality was sadly missed the details of the affair did not suffer. Ab has been usual at recent functions, the decorations were confined to the little forest of firs at the end of the hall, behind which the makers of the music sat. Ing gown of red chiffon.

Miss Newell Drown was gowned in yellow point d'esprit, touched up with black velvet. " ."','¦ ¦ Mrs. Frank Sullivan wore a regal glitter gown, black with silver span gles and a ropef of diamonds. Miss ! Alys Sullivan, a debutante, was gowned in white point d'esprit and on her hair she wore a chaplet of tiny roses. Miss Cheeseborough, also a bud, wore a quaintly pretty gown of figured chif fon. ' . Miss Melita Pease, another of the sea son's favorites, was gowned in white chiffon, with a beautiful Irish point bertha. Miss Margaret Wilson looked very smart In white, with a garland of yel low roses trailing from her left shoul der. Miss Charlotte Ellinwood wore a pretty Dink chiffon frock, x Miss Murison was a dainty maid in a pink diaphanous gown. M16S Hyde-Smith wore one of the smartest frocks on the floor, a* blue point d'esprit with winged sleeves flow- Ing from the shoulders. It was stun ningly effective. Refreshments were served in the ves tibule, where the punch bowl held high carnival. Supper was served In the Maple room, where the tables bore the roseate glow of red shades. And a right merry party clinked glasses beneath the ruby light. there weren't many. The cotillion was led by Miss Chris tine Pomeroy, the dainty bud, who was beautifully gowned in a filmy. affair of white point d'esprit. With perfect sangfroid, she fulfilled her difficult po sition, in which she was cleverly as sisted by Douglass Waterman, Whar ton Thurston, Robert Eyre and Sidney Salisbury. In Mrs. Salisbury's absence, the fol lowing ladies assisted in receiving: Mrs. Eleanor Martin, Mrs. Carter Pit kin Pomeroy, Mrs. Russell J. Wilson, Mrs. Gordon Blanding, Mrs. Hyde- Smith and Mrs. Henry Glass. The gowns were especially smart. Among those observed were: Mrs. Henry Glass, a beautiful gown of white silk, with Irish point. Mrs. Hyde-Smith, a robe ofd'Alen con lace and white chiffon. The gown was given distinction by a chou of lav ender, blue and pink velvet at the left of the corsage. Mrs. Alexander, blue silk with blue chiffon. With it she wore a wreath of violets, which gave it a Parisian air. Mrs. Carter Pltkin Pomeroy, black Brussels net, elaborately trimmed with black d'Alencon lace. Mrs. Jack Spreckels, black Jetted gown, that was one of the prettiest worn. JIORE BEAUTIFUL. GOWNS.

Argument on an application for a writ of habeas corpus for the release from custody of J. M. Evans, saloon keeper, 119 Eddy street, was heard before Judge Cook yesterday and the writ was granted and the prisoner or dered discharged. Attorney W. H. Cook, who represented Evans, argued that no crime had been committed by Evans, as in the section of the statute under which the charge was made no penalty was attached. Evans was arrested on a warrant sworn to by Mrs. Lavinia Raemsch, charging him with the felony of sell ing incumbered personal property. It was alleged that Evans sold to Mrs. Raemsch the furniture and other per sonal effects in a lodging-house at 131 Tayldr street while there was a mort gage on the property. The .case was heard before Police Judge Fritz, who. held Evans to answer before the Su perior Court. Then followed the ap plication for the writ of habeas cor pus. J. M.
