FIVE LIVES LOST
When the motor car in which they
were passengers ran into the Clyde
River at Bateman's Bay on Friday
morning, the wife and four children
of the Rev. James Benson, formerly
of Goulburn, and now C. of E. rector
at Bodalla, were drowned.
It appears that Mr. Benson, took
the wrong road and drove into the
river. He had opened the door of
the car and almost had Mrs. Benson
out when the vehicle turned over.
He immediately dived to try and res
cue her, but could not locate her. The
children were asleep in the car at
the time. Their ages ranged from
nine to 16 months.

BENSON—WESTON.
The Church of the Resurrection,
Gilgandra, was the scene of a very
pretty ceremony, when the Rev.
James Benson, of Sofala, and for-
merly of the Brotherhood of the
Good Shepherd, and Miss Bertha
Weston, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Weston, of Gilgandra,
went to the hymeneal altar. The
chancel screen and church were
nicey decorated for the occasion
with pink and white, while the al-
tar was amass of arum lilies. The
bride, who entered the church on
the arm of her father, was daintily costumed in white voile, and
carried a shower bouquet. The
bridesmaid, Miss Lily Weston
(sister), wore a pretty costume of
white voile and pink. Mr. John
Weston, in the absence of the Rev.
K. L. M'Keown, who was prevent-
ed by the altered train arrange-
ments from arriving in time, was
best man. The ceremony, which
was commenced at 9 o'clock, was
performed by the Rev. John Har-
dy, Principal of the Brotherhood
of the Good Shepherd, the Rev.
Caddick-Adams presiding at the
organ. The wedding was followed
by a nuptial communion. A wed-
ding breakfast was afterwards
held at the residence of the bride's
parents. The happy couple left
at 1.3o p.m., per motor car, for
Dubbo, where they joined the train
for Bathurst, where they stayed
that night, proceeding home to So-
fala next day. The bride, whose
going-away dress was navy crepe-
de-chine with hat to match, was
the recipient of a number of valu-
able presents, including cheques.
