The Veto of an archbishop breaking Up
a Wedding Pdrty.
From the Cincinnati Commercial.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 2.-The residents
Of Upper Marlborough, quiet l,t le
town in Prince Georges county, almost
under the shadow Of the National Capt.
tol are discussing society sensation In
the matrimonial line. The Interested
persons are members of two of the d.
est Maryland families, one Of them being
q distant relative Of ex Governor Bowl,
and the other grand daugh er of Chas.
Hill, who was, In his day, reputed to be
the wealth.st man In Washington, in
which city he spent his winters, living in
magnificent style with his beautiful wife,
v no was one of the leaders of society at
the capital.
From the first settlement of Prince
Georges cnun y, the oldes, families have
intermarried, in spite Of their Catholic
faith and the violation of the Church
tenets, until it became q tradition that
the aristocratic scions of he county never
sought wives and husbands beyond tEeir
blood relatives. This custom became SO
general that the interference of the
Church, often threatened, final y Was
looked upon as never likely to be inter
posed.
| A short time ago the betro hal of Mr..
Frank Bowie and Miss Ida Hill, both
we'll known in Maryland fashionable So
ciety, was announced. An early celebra-
ton of their nuptials was decided upon.
Accordingly, invitations were issued to
the elite Of the county to tend the
wedding at the residence Of the bride,
near Upper Marlboou ough. The contract
ing parties are second cousins, but the
frequency Of such unions precluded
comment upon the proposed marriage.
In accordance with the custom, how
ever, permission for the celebration of
wedding of the cousins was asked from
the Archbishop of this diocese. Without
waiting for reply, the preparations for
the event were made, and the formal ap-
plica'ion was soon forgotten. The we'd
ding day came aud the guests assembled.
) At the appointed time the cousins took
their places before the pl lest. All was in
readiness for the service. In feeling
tones the priest, instead of reading the
wedding ceremony, announced that he
had just received orders fom Archbishop
. Gibbons to refuse his consent to the
; union. A painful scene followed, and
the party broke up, leaving the disap-
pointed couple deeply mortified and
grieved. They are determined to be
united, however, and have appealed to
, the Pope for his sanction.

conciiate by the assumption of any outward symbols
of his finally adopted nationality, but presented
himself in the simple and sombre dress reproduced

AN EXPERIMENT TO DO AWAY WITH THE NOISE
OF THE ''L' TRAINS.
One Of the greatest objections to the L" roads in
this city has always been the noise of the trans and
to other minor point has 80 much attention been
given by the two companies that built and operated
the roads before the consolidation. 1t will be re-
membered that after the Sixth avenue road was put
in operation and while the Third still in
process OF construction it confidently predicted
that the latter would bo less noisy than the former,
snd it is familiar fact to the public that these pre-
dictions proved signslly false. The Metropolitan
Company spent considerable money in trying to do
away with the noise. employing Mr.. Edison to ex-
anime the road with q phonograph and diagnose the
difficulty. A considerable number Of inventors set
at work to overcome the trouble. and two three,
who hit on excellent plans. straightway became
voved in litigation their patents, SO that the
public has continued to suffer. A movement has.
however. been begun on the Third avenue line
which, it Is expected, win do away with large pro-
portion Of the noise the road. Tho joints of the
rails, as the road was at first constructed, come to-
gether on the two lines Of rails ut points between

THE BRIDGE OVER THE HARLEM RIVER.

THE BRIDGE OVER THE HARLEM RIVER.
The Park Commissioners yesterday held a special
meeting, the full Board being in attendance. Some
weeks ago the West Side and Yonkers Railroad Com
pany made application for permission to erect q
Bridge over the Harlem River. for the continuation
of the Manhattan IL" road This application, at the
time, not granted; since then the railroad
officials have been consulting legal authorities on the
power OF the Park Commissioners to grant this
privilege. Yesterday Messrs. Galway. Lowry and
Boiler appeared before the Board. and, after again
making rcquisit.on for the privilege of erecting
the bridge, presented an opinion from Charles
OConor which stated that the Park Comm issi ners
were invested and could ut once grant the right
of the erection OF this bridge The Comnssi oners,
however. refused to give any decided In tho
matter and the application was again tabled for
future consideration.

aroma which our characters are ever she'd

and beholds a scowl, cannot indeed prevent
the faithful reflection, but she may drive the
scowl from her brow, and so create a new
