hRMARRrED AT FoRrY MILEs AN UouR.

RS-MARRIED AT FoRTY Miles An HoUR.
Romantic marriages appear TO be the or.
der of the day. On New Years day, when
the Cleveland & Pitsburg train, bound
south, arrived at Salineville, a party of ten
boarded the train. They were, like the
fair Dinah in the thrillingly affecting song,
"dressed out in gorgeous array" and gave
other indications of being out Ton a little
time By curious coincidence, cler-
gymau made his appearance at the same
time, and was also invited into the same
car.
The train was started of, and was soon
rattling along at tremendous speed. Just
as it attained the top of its speed there was
a hustle in the rear car, the party crowded
around the minister, who thereupou stood
up, facing a blushing young lady, and,
slightly embarrassed male passenger, who
were step or two in advance of the re-
mainder OF the party. a few words we're
said by the minister, who then stated that
that the bonds of wedloeI had been made
fast, and pronounced the couple man and
wife. Conductor Swain was so carried
away by the excitement of the moment
that he made very neat and appropriate
speech, and invited the entire party to ride
with him whenever they chose-on their
payment of the regular fare.
