n last Friday morning an athletic young
IN the town of Waynesburg, took fair
bathed in bushes" from her parents,
aId st"rted for the first town across the Penn
sylvania iine to be married where the eeremo-
ny could be performed without license The
fappy pair W re accompanied by a sister of the
giri-a tall, gaunt, sharp-featured female, of
some thirty-s wen summers. The pair crossed
the line, were married, and returned to Wells
vile to pas; the night. People at the hotel
where the wedding party stopped observed that
they conducted themselves in a rather singular
manner. The husband would take his sister-in-
aw, the tall female aforesaid, into one corner
of the parlor and talk earnestly to her, gesticu-
lating wildly the while. Then the tall female
would "put her foot down and talk to him in
an angry and excited manner Then the hus-
band would take his fair young bride into a
corner, but he would no sooner commence
talking to her, then the gaunt sister would rush
in between them and angriy join in the con-
'ersation. The people at the hotel ascertained
w9al THIS meant by about nine o'clock that
evening" Ins.e was an uproar in the room
which had been assigned to the newl married
couple Female shrieks aud masculine "swears"
startled the people at the hote' and they rushed
to the spot. The gaunt female was pressing and
kicking against the door of the room, and the
newly married man, mostly undressed, was
barring her out with all his might Ceeasion-
ally sne would kick the door far enough ops2to
disclose the stalwart husband in his gentleman
Greek Slave apparel.
1t appeared that the tall female insisted upon
occupying the same room with the newly-wed-
ded pair, that her sister was favorably disposed
to the arrangement, and that the husband had
agreed to it before the wedding took place, and
was now Indignantly repudiaiing the contract.
Won't you go away, now, Susan, peace
fa ?" said the newly-married man, softening
his voice.
"No," said she, O. won't-so there"
"Don't you bulge inch" cried the married
sister within the room.
6" Now, now, Maria, cried the young man to
his wife, in piteous tone, don't go to cuttin'
up in this way now don'tH
" I'll cut ups much's | wanter" she sharply
replied.
"Wefl' roared the desperate man, throwing
the door wide open and stalking out among the
crowd, well, jest you two wimmen put on
your duds and go right straight home, and
bring back the old man and woman, and your
grandfather, who is nigh on to a hundred
bring em all here, and m marry the rhold id
eaboodle Of en-, and @eH sleep all together.''
The difficulty was finally adjusted by the tall
female taking room alone. Wellsville is en-
