LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THEY WENT TO THE WEDDING.

THEY WENT TO THE WEDDING.
A Sacramentan of means has fine country
residence not very far from the city, but his
business keeps him in town mostly. Recently
the servant girl in his family notified him of
her intention to marry, and requested that
she might have the wedding at his house.
He and his wife consented willingly. 1t was
set for Thursday night last, and the citizen
began to feel much interest In the matter,
the idea of a little jollifcation at his resi-
dence taking such possession Of him that,
without notifying the folks at home, and after
arranging for Judge H. to come out and
tie the knot, he resolved to invite some
guests on his own hook. Accordingly an ex-
policeman, well-known auctioneer a dis
penser Of bibulous refreshment, and a col
Iector, were among others asked to come
out and see the splicin'; goin' to have the
kind Of a weddin' they used to have out in
Missouri; now you come, boys" and thus
urged, the boys came. They came crowded
in hack, and the vehicle had load that
was all it could carry. The host had gone
out In the afternoon, and awaited his guests
with some trembling when he reflected on the
possible effect of their unexpected advent.
Judge II. went out in advance, and about s
O'Clock the hack emptied itself suddenly at
the front door, the occupants being fixed up
regardless, and manifesting disposition to
have real daisy time. But the result was
astonishing. The bridegroom broke for the
bushes, swearing that if " a mob from Sac
ramento was going to make descent he'd
be absent. The bride was thunderstruck,
and the mistress of the house more than
amused at the situation. The master took it
all in at glance, saw what a break he had
made, and without further ado he disap-
peared. The maiden then took the matter in
hand. "Who were these menu" What
did they want?" Game to her wedding,
did they?" And by the shades of ages who
invited them to her wedding ?" Had she
invited them!" Not bit. Couldn't
she be married quietly, without all the refu-
gees from Sacramento swarming to the cere-
mony, she'd like to know" They pro-
tested and fattered and were amiable
and conciliatory without avail She
was mistress of the situation there should
be no wedding while they remained, not if
she knew it, and she thought she did. But
at last compromise was effected they had
come long ride, and were famished.
wouldn't the fair Phillis abate her anger
and at least set out something ?"-for by this
time the mistress of the house was too
much moved by the humor of the scene to
care to assume the place of hostess. Yes"
the bride would g treat them, and forthwith
she brought out demijohii and glasses, and
when all were ready and awaiting the generous
flow of the red. red wine, the bride proceeded
to fill them up bumpers of-buttermilk.
They said not word, but took to the
healthful beverage as if they'd been raised on
it. They returned to their coach, and when
the bridegroom saw it well on its way down the
road, he emerged fastened to the house and
had the knot tied before that mob " could
possibly return. The mob went away so
sorrowing that something must have hap
peued to it on the road. At least it got to
the city very late, and the hack and the hack
driver were lame, and other members of the
party appeared as if they'd been through
scenes of whoa, or had stopped somewhere
and mixed something with the buttermilk.
They pledged eternal secrecy about the entire
affair, enc to the other and all that did in
truth transpire has not yet leaked out; but it
is known that the entire "mob" is looking
Tor the man who invited them. Thus far of
him it is said, non est inventus.

SPECIAL MEETING.-The City Board of
Education will hold special meeting this
evening, for the purpose of making another
attempt to elect Census School Marshal,
and if the deadlock which ruled at the pre-
vious meeting continues, further extra meet
ings will follow until some one shall have
been elected. At the last meeting there were
but few candidates whose names were be-
fore the Board, but since that time the num-
Der of - dark horses which has been brought
forward swell the number out of which the
Board Is invited to draw to about fifty, which
fact, it is thought, will facilitate an agree
ment upon some one of the number.
BIG SMOKE, SMALL FLAME.-Saturday af-
ternoon smoke was noticed in the corner
rooms of the three upper stories of the Lard
ner building, corner Fifth and K streets, and
presently began to pour out of the windows.
1t was soon discovered that the chimney on
the corner was burning out, and for time
flames shot forth. A great crowd assembled,
aud there were more doctors for that chimney
than one could shake two sticks at Mem
bers of the Hook and Ladder Company came
from their truck-house, and managed matters
so that the chimney burned out to SCOT itself,
and no damage was done to the building.

the company owed him in stock. Suisse
quently 500 shares of the Merris stock were

feated. 1t is expected that notice of appeal
viii be given if new trial is refused.
