A NOVEL START IN MARRIED
LIFE.
A Wedding Trip Down the Noun
tain on a Hand Sled.

On Tuesday last a wedding party
in high life came of at Carpenters,
in this county. Why it may be
termed wedding in high life is be.
cause it occurred on top of the high
mountain directly opposite the sta
ton. After the wedding ceremony
was performed, the newly married
couple made a somewhat novel start
in life. From the top of the steep
mountain they concluded to go to
the station on a hand sled. The
time for starting came, and their
friends, after helping to fix them and
their baggage solidly on the sled,
gave the sled push, and away they
went, shooting over the ground at
the rate of forty miles an hour. Half
way down they turned sharp curve,
when to their horror they discovered
span of mules not far distant, COM
ing up the mountain. They saw at
a glance that there was not room
enough to pass those mules, and
that the mules would not have time
to get out of the way. And what
made matters worse, there was
high embankment to the road. How
ever, they did not hesitate as to
what was to be done, for stop they
couldn't, and to strike in among the
legs of those mules they well knew
would be to get kicked out of this
world at once. John, the husband,
of course, was pilot on the sled, and |
bracing himself to meet the rapid |
approaching trouble, he exclaimed:
"Now, Maria, as you swore this
morning to cling to me until death,

j. B. COOKE.
Commonly known as Burch Cooke,
lives in Chattanooga. and he stands
at the head of the bar at that place,
eminent for great lawyers. He was
prominent candidate for Supreme
Court Judge, and would in all proba-
bility have been nominated had it
not been that two such clever gen.
tlemen already occupied the Bench
from that section, and it would have
been hard to displace them for any
one. His appointment gives great
satisfaction to East Tennesseaus
here now. He is now one of the
members for East Tennessee in the
Court of Arbitration.
COL. H. H. INGERsoLL,
not Bob, however, is a resident of
Knoxville. He is Northern man,
and in appointing him as member
of the Court of Arbitrators the Gov
erner very wisely recognizes the
claims of this class of our fellow
citizens. He has pursued such q
straightforward, conservative course
since his residence in East Tennes-
see that he has endeared himself to

Erie'S New Coal ROal.

The survey Of the projected railroad
from Pitts.on to Hawley, through the
Moosic mountains, the new coal outlet
for the New York, Lake Erie & Western
railroad, has been completed, and the
work of grading has been begun. The
road, which will be about fifty miles in
length, will be built by party of Eng
lish capitalists at an aggregate cost OF u
million dollars, the estimated cost per
mile being about 100000. The object
of its construction as to afford the Erie
company an independent outlet tor Its
coal from the Wyoming valley, where
1t has about =, 900 acres OF rich, undevel-
oped coal lands, south OF Scranton. AT
present the Erie's coal is principally
shipped from the valley over the Del
aware i Hudson Gravity road to
Honesdale, but this portion Of the Del
aware & Hudson canal cor ny's high
way is fully taxed with as own ship
ments. The projected ROAD will connect
with the Lehigh Valley railroad at
Plttston, and The Erie railway at
Hawley, thus afiording fine facilities
for freight and passenger traffic, as
well as for coal shipments from this
section. The line passes through the
twelfth ward on the outskirts Of Scran-
ton, and for some distance runs parallel
with the Eight track of the Pennsyl-
vania Coal Com pnny's Gravity railway.
The corps Of engineers engaged IN max
ing the survec IL the same that accom-
panied the Messrs. Collins on their
recent railroad expedition to Brazil.
Mr.. Jamison, Of Philadelphia, is the
contractor, and it is said that one or
two Philadelphia capitalists. and q
wealthy Pittstonian, Mr. J. S. Everhart,
are interested in the project to a con
siderable extent. The English specula-
tors will arrive here from London early
this month, on visit ofinspection, and
during their stay In this section, ar
rangements will be made to complete
and equip the road as speedily as
possible. 1t will be leased by the Erie
company. 1t is claimed by the Erie
people that it will give them the adj
vantage of being miles nearer to tide
water than the Delaware, Lackawana
q Western railroad, the distance fron
Scranton to Piedmont on the Hudson,
the company's great coal depot, being
l42 miles, while 1t is 159 miles to Ho-
boken. With the completion OF this
road the Erie company will erect three
massive breakers upon their undevel-
oped coal property, and engage actively
IN the work OF mining and shipping
anthracite.

THE money market, says New York
dispatch of August 10Th, is the subject
of unusual consideration by all classes

recent advance on rates foc loans. Bank

several millions have been sent, as the
loss of it to London can now be we'll af-

Instances Of American pluck in Eu-

rarely hears OF a case more remarkable

what that was" The mysterious
matter having been duly explained to
him, he remarked that he thought he

himself a course from which he was
strongly dlssuaded by the artist, on the
ground that he had never shown any
special talent for it. The young Amer

more prominent than in the English
capital. SO he came to Paris, and went

progress that prominent French art

thorough believer in the talent which
