THE GERDEMANN MARRIAGE.-T Rev.
J. Howard Suydam. of the Third Reformed
Church, Jersey City, gives the following par
ticulars 10 relation to the Gerdemann mar
riage:
On the morning Of the 4th instant two gentle
men and lady called at my residence about
half past o'clock. One Of the gentlemen said
he wished to BE- married. | asked them the
usual questions rs to whether either OF them was
married, aad received satisfactory replies. Iney
seemed To be in hurry, AS they said they would
take the train to Phisdelphia at 10 or halt-past
10 l had not the slightest suspicion that either
Of the gentlemen WAS Clergyman, but when my
attention WAS called atlerward TO the church de-
talcaton in Philadelphla was satisfied these
were the parties. The bride was pretty stout
lsdy and rather attractive. The bridegroom was
good-looking man, pleasing in manners, and
was particularly impressed with his companion,
who had fine, intellectual head. This man,
seeing Il frame containing the Latin phrase
"Nulls dies sine lines" remarked, with shake
of the head "Hs! Martin Luther l see He
had a very clerical appearance, now That come
to think OF 1t. Ee and my wife were witnesses
10 the ceremony. He paid the usual fee and
left. see in one OF the papers thst he states he
married her with the full knowledge and con-
sent of her parents. That is not true. When
questioned her on this point she did not conceal
the tact that she was acting solely on her own
responsibility. When spoke to her Of the Sc
riouS import of such step, and the possibility
of being dsinheited by her parents, she said
she had no fears on that point AS they would be
al right after awhile. she WAS Intelligent lsdy-
like and amlable in conversation. She WAS
dressed in stone colored travelling suit, with
black Sscque. When l asked them their desti-
nation lie said they intended to take up their flu
ture abode in St. Louis
THE ADVANCE IN CoAL.-lt is apparent
that 10 the Goa trade the ordinary laws OF sup
ply and demand are not allowed to operate but
are displaced by forced and arbitrary scale of
prices; and system Of monthly advance in
rates has been eoiorced, so that we have had
the spectacle of steady rise in the article of
coal, while almost every other commodity has
been dull aud dropping. The great combioa.
ton engaged in this undertaking to keep up
prices represents over $500 900 200, it is stated.
