Marrying Without License-Hard on
the BOY-A ROUGH Honeymoon.

On last Friday morning an athletic
young farmer, in the town Of Waynesburg,
took fair girl, call bathed in blushes,"
from her parents, aud started for the first
town across the Pennsylvania line to be
married, where the ceremony could be per-
formed without o license. The happy
pair were accompanied by sister of the
girl, a tall, gaunt, sharp featured female
Of some thir,y-seven summers. The pair
crossed the line, were married, and rcturn-
ed to Wellsville to pass the night. PeO-
pie at the hotel where the wedding party
stopped, observed that they conducted
themselves in rather singular manner.
The husband would take his sster-in. law,
the tall female aforesaid, into one corner
of the parlor, and talk earnestly to her,
gestculating wildly all the time. Then
the tall female would ''put her foot down"
and talk to him in an angry and exciting
manner. Then the husband would take
his fair young bride into a corner; but he
would no sooner commence talking to her
than the guant sister would rush in be-

The witnesses to its execution and ac-
knOwledgment above named each several
ly testified in corrOboration Of Dounelly's
statement; and, in addition, Mr.. Buffers
books of account were introduced, from
which it appeared that the prOsecutrix
made from time to time heavy purchases
at his store, the bill for one day exceed
ing 500, and the checks upon which Mrs.
b. had drawn money had been credited to
her. 1t appeared in evidence that he had
charged her no interest on money or goods
advanced, or compensation for his services
The testimony of the defence became
cumulative and corrobOrative, and the
court asked if there was any good reason
for continuing it.
Mr.. Davidge stated that he was waiting
for suggestion from the council for the
Government before suspending the furth-
er examination of his witnesses.
Judge Fisher remarked that, in view of
this strong evidence in contradiction of
Mrs. Farmer, who stood alone in her tes-
timony, and coming as it does from so re-
spectacle and intelligent array of witness
es, he felt obliged to abandon the first in
dictment; whereupon Mr., Davidge Sug-
gestod a conference with the counsel aud
witnesses, from which the prosecution
might determine the expediency of taking
mp the case of Mrs. Maddron. A
half hour was allotted for this purpose,
and when they returned in court, Judge
Fisher remarked that he felt satisfied from
the statement of these witnesses that Mrs.
Maddron gave Mr., b. full verbal authori
ty to sign for her and collect the money
on her pension certificate, and that she
had received all that was due her. He
had no doubt that these facts would be
conclusively established by the proof, and
he consented to the entry Of MOlIe pros.
in that indictment.
Judge Wylie in dismiSsing the case said:
1t affords me great pleasure to state
that in this case there has been no shadow
of reflection upon the conduct or character
of the defendant, in legal sense or other
wise. No blame, however attaches to the
grand jury who found these bills, nor to
the District Attorney, as it was the duty
of both to act as they did in respect of the
only evidence which came to their knOwl.
edge. But | must say that it is inexcu-
sable that such prosecutions as these
should be set on foot by the department
of the Government, which possess the full
est information, or at least the means of
obtainingi it. Such prosecutions in nowise
tend to the public interest, and are always
a serious damage to the party accused un-
til an opportunity of vindicatiOn is afford
ded. In this case the arraignment of Mr.
Butler is wholly inoxcusable, from the fact
that the Pension Office had before it the
power of attorney, attested by witnesses
and the fullest opportunity of ascertain
ing from them the authenticity of the au-
thOrity contained in the power. The in
strument was witnessed, and the true state
of facts could have been ascertained with
oat its costing the Government a single
cent.
The Court ordered the travelling ex-
penses and the attendance fees of the wit
nesses paid by the Government.
