A Couple Who Couldn't Wait.

The Rochester Express says: A ro-
mantle incident of the recent storm was
the marriage by telegraph of two young
people. The young man is resident of
this city, while the lady resides some
miles this side of New York. On the
day appointed. the young man was. in
a railway train stuck fast in the drifts
some forty miles this side of the resi-
dence of the bride expectant. The hours
passed on and they did not succeed in
getting out of the drifts. Finally, it was
suggested that rather than submit to
postponement the marriage be conduct
ed by the aid of the wires. All parties
having agreed to this, the wire was
stretched from the Office to the house
of the brides parents, and the two were
made one by electricity. Afterwards,
when the track was cleared of the snow,
the husband and wife met for the first
time as such.

Blown From a Train.

BALTIMORE, January 25.--Shortly be-
fore seven o'clock this evening, while the
express train from New York was near
ing Linwood, on the Philadelphia, Will
mington and Baltimore railroad between
Chester and Wilmington, three students
of Princeton college attempted to pass
from the car in which they bad been
seated to the car In the rear. The wind
was blowing fiercely from the northwest,
and the first student was nearly blown
from the platform. He lost his hat and
had to hold on tightly to the brake
wheel. The second student, a son of
DIR. Vaughan, a prominent physician of
Wilmington, Del, was not so fortunate.
The wind blew open his overcoat, and
the garment filling by the fierce gust
the young man was blown backward
and hurled with terrific force over on
the Delaware river side of the track.
The train had gone about four miles be-
fore the conductor was apprised of the
accident. He was urged to return, but
thought it safer to run rapidly to Will
mington and dispatch the particulars to
Linwood. This was done, and when
the express train reached Perryville a
dispatch from Linwood awaited her,
stating that hand car had been sent
out and that the dead body of young
Vaughan had been picked up. His
death must have been instantaneous,
owing to the velocity at which the train
was going when he fell. He had in
tended to take dinner with his father on
Sunday and return to college on Mon
day. He was about 25 years old and of
slender build

This prayed upon his mind so that he
commenced drinking hard, and threatened
to jump of the Suspension bridge several
times. He owned and carried on drug
store worth from $4,000 to $4,000. He
leaves wife and eight children.
oB-ln quarrel between two lawyers on
the ice at West Chester, Thos. p. Worral
knocked VIM. s. Wiudle down. @. Frank
Painter, friend of the latter, saw fit to
interfere; he in his turn was also knocked
down, and, being too heavy, broke through
the ice, thereby cooling his pugnacity.
tT While Cyrus Mateer, farmer re-
siding in Catharine twp, Blair county,
was engaged in cutting flrewood few days
ago, the AK caught on wire clothes line,
thus causing it to strike him on the left
cheek, cutting deep cash the entire
breadth of the blade aud injuring him 30
severely that his life is despaired Of.
rB- Mrs. Mary Pierce, shoplifter, who
gained notoriety in New Haven, Conn,
years ago, but had not been disturbed for
seven years, was arrested last week for
following her profession in Malley's store.
Detectives searched her house and found
two wagon-loads of dry goods, including
great variety of articles. The value Of
the whole is estimated at $500. When
displayed in the police office, there seemed
to be enough to stock an ordinary dry
goods store.
BELFAST, Me-, January 27.-At Mont
vile, about fifteen miles from this city, on
Saturday evening, John MFarland, a
farmer, his wife and grand daughter, were
murdered by one Rowell, an insane man.
Mrs. M'Farland was shot with gun and
the others had their braius beaten out.
The murderer was afterward shot and
killed by neighbor whom he had at
tackled.

As il May Happen.

The above is the title of q new book
published by Messrs. Porter q Coates,
of Philadelphia. 1t is book entirely
original and exceedingly interesting.
The plot is laid in this state and the in
cidents are natural and life like. The
characters are SO numerous that the plot
is almost overshadowed, but they are
outlined by master hand, and almost
appear animated by life. The beautiful
character of Emily Grundle in her de-
votion to her exacting father, with q
heart involved in the meshes of love
with Volney Slade, and whom she we'd
ded afterwards, is drawn with artistic
skill. 1t is a story of exciting interest,
and though seemingly lacking at times
clearness and distinctness, this is more
than compensated by theintense charac-
teristics of the central figures in the
story. The numerous evils of society
are satirized with the keenness of the
stroke of Damascus blade, and through
out there is one continued series of sur
prises. Any person who begins to read
the book will not wish to lay it down
until the last leaf is turned, and will
then wish the box was longer. There
is no doubt the book will meet with
large sale. We shall look with inter-
est for other books that may be written
by the author of AS IT MAY HAPPEN.

What Next2

CINCINNATI, Ohio, January Ell. III
Dickerman, treasurer of st. Anthony's
Roman Catholic church, is defaulter to
the amount of $4,000.
Jacob Renneker, treasurer of the Ger
man Catholic cemetery association, is a
defaulter to the amount of 81 200.
There have been five important en-
bezzlement cases here within week,
and as yet not'a single arrest has been
made. The authorities were thrown en-
tirely off the track of Coffin, the La
Fayette bank embezSler. Officers were
sent on false scent to San Antonio,
Texas, and il is now believed that the
embezzler escaped to Canada.

The Result of Being In Bad Company.

On last Monday evening the police of
Philadelphia made raid on a variety
show known as the Arcade, and arrest
ed and locked up in the station house all
who were present, performers and spec
tators. The result has been sad exper-
ience to some of the latter. One,
young married woman, who was induc-
ed to go to the show by female ac-
quaintance, and who knew nothing of
its character, has been released on bail,
but divorce will follow. Several young
men, clerks in stores, passed the night
in their cells, and when their employers
heard of it discharged them at once.
The result will be a warning to others to
keep out of such places.

Power Of a silk Dress.

Mr.. Nathan Lyon, of st. Paul, said
that Misses Emma Eaber and Mary
Hendricks were too proud to stoop to
the duties of farmers daughters, and
promised them each $50 silk dress if
they would drive or lead a COW through
the streets of the Minnesota metropolis.
Accordingly at high noon Miss Faber
took the COW in tow with Miss Hen
bricks, armed with broomsticlk, acting
as rear guard, and thus they escorted
the animal down Third streetand earned
their silk dresses.

One hundred men o. the Collins par

Is gathered that the returned adve. atur-

they couldn't be hired to go hack for
