RUNAWAY COUPLE AND THEIR TRouBLRs.-
Mr.. Frank DOdson, of Rappabannock, and Miss
Alberta Bruce, of Culpeper, Va. arrived at
Alexandria on the freight train wednesd a Y
afternoon, and took the six O'Clock boat for
Washington They were bent upon getting
married, and accomplished that object, though
under difficulties. They got aboard the train
atNuIpeper Court House. where an aunt of the
young lady d1d her best to prevent the eIope-
ment, but being sent from the depot there to a
store some distance off to buy a pound of candy
the II ain started before she could get back, and
as ALREADY stated, the pair reached here IN
safety. When they arrived in Washington the
City Hall was closed, but they succeeded. after
long search, in finding the clerk of the court.
from whom the required license was obtained
But their troubles were not yet over for though
they found several ministers, all OF them were
engaged and could not perform the marriage
ceremony, and it was not until they were on
their way back to the depot that thev came
across church in which service was being
held, and going in there they waited until the
conclusion of the service, when they statsd their
OBJECT to the preacher and were married by
hinl. They returned here on the rnidnjr hi
Train, and stopped at a boarding house until
this morning, when they returned TO Culpeper.-
