a few days ago to marriage which
had occurred between a very hand
some keeper Of an ice-cream saloon
OF East Front street, and an officer
Of the United States army; the knot
having been tied by one Of our City
Fathers. who is always ready to do
what be considers charitable act.
The parties bedded and boarded to-
gether for a few days when il was
ascertained that the marriage was
illegal, the City Father having no
legal authority TO attend to. such
business. Here was a pretty kettle
of fish. Either party could, if he or
she saw proper, refuse to rectiiy the
mistake. Both were, however, so
well pleased with each other during
the brief hours of experimental mat
rimony they had passed, that they
were eager 10 have the marriage
legally solemnised. So some friend,
at the earnest solicitations Of the
parties, on Friday evening, after
office hours, hunted up the Deputy
Clerk, Mr.. Snyder, obtained another
license, and then proceeded TO hunt
q clergyman, who, after much huEt,
they obtained, and by whom the
loving couple were again spliced.--
The following notice thereupon ap-
pears in the papers:
MARRIED,
On the 5th inst, by the Rev. VIM.
H. Harrison, Lieutenant FRANK Rus
SELL, U. S. Army, TO Mrs. E. NJ.
MoRRIsoN.
It was now that the friends Of the
bridegroom thought proper to inter
fere. By them he was safely quar-
tered at the Burnet House, and his
wife informed that, as her husband
had been imposed upon by her, he
would not recognise her as his wife.
She thereupon, Saturday evening,
sent him a message desiring to know
what he intended to do, and if be
intended to call and see her. Short
| ly afterwards she received word that
her husband would be pleased to see
her at the Burnet House, whereupon,
off she started, to place herself once
more in his arms. Hardly had she
been gone when her husband and
several OF his friends called at her
cream saloon and took possession OF
it, saying they were entitled to the
property. The owner Of The premi-
ses warned them out, stating they
had been surrendered to him. They
refused, and he started off for a po-
lice officer. In the meantime the
wife returned, when the friends,
though military gentlemen, were for
beating a retreat. They FASTENED
with the husband to get into the car
riage, which had brought them, but
the wife was close to their heels de-
claring she would not be separated
from her husbund, and endeavoring
toget into the carriage. The hus-
bands friends showed her back, but
the police officer appearing and
friend of the wife standing at the
horses he DIS with knife open,
threatening to cut the reins, If they
were started without the lady being
in the carriage, had the desired effect
of securing her seat by the side Of
her husband, when off they drove
10 the Burnet House. As the two
were ascending the steps Of the Ho-
tel, the husband was violently seized
by his friends and separated from his
wife, she screaming al an alarming
rate and begging the bystanders not
TO allow her 10 be deprived in that
way of the company of her husband.
But the iates and strong arms were
too much for her; she had to return
to her Fourth street boarding house,
while the husband, went, the Lord
knows where. Such is one Of the
many incidents Of a city life.
