A dispatch from CrisGeld, Nd, says
C. w. Souder, through his counsel. Henry
Page, has entered suit against Jacob Cul-
lon for alternating the affections of his
wife, Annie Souder, nee Cullen, daugh-
ter of the defendant. The circumstances
have been the social sensation of this place
for several weeks. Souder, a widOwer
of thirty-five, with one daughter, eight
years old, is a commercial traveller, and
came here from Delaware some months
ago. He formed the acquaintance of Miss
Cullen, who is eighteen, and about three
weeks ago they decided to get married,
and not wishing to do it publicly, drove
about eight miles to the residence of Rev.
Mr.. Moore. Arriving there, Miss Cullen
changed her mind and refused to take part
in the ceremony. They started back and
had gotten about three miles when the
bride again changed her mind and they
returned to tho parsonage and were
married. Arriving at Cristield the
young lady's brother insisted on
breaking the news to tho lady's
father, which was done. The result was a
scene, and the newly welded wife was sep
arated from her husband. He afterwards
demanded an interview with his wife, and
a stormy one was obtained with his father
in-law, when pistols and other weapons
were mentioned but not used. After a
visit to Philadelphia he decided to enter
suit against Mr.. Cullen, who is well-to-
do. Last night Mrs. Souder, accompanied
by her brother, left or the steamer Tangier
for Baltimore, and Souder also went on
the same boat. 1t is thought if the matter
is fixed by them the suit will be with
drawn.

A SILENT MARRIAGE.
The Wed ne OF Two Deaf Nlutes at Read
ing.

The Wed ng OF Two Deaf Mutes at Read
ing.
A marriage Of novel and interesting
character took place in Reading, Tuesday
evening. Kate o. Miller, who has beer
educated during the past year in Phila
delphia, was married to Hugh E. Gross, Z
young business man of Reading. Both are
deaf mutes and the marriage ceremony
was performed by Rev. Solomon Neitz in
writing. Mr.. Gross holds prominent
position under Myers & Helm, leading
business firm, while the bride returned tt
Reading only recently, after a long resi-
dence in Philadelphia. She is about IS,
and her af1liction came almost in her in
fancy, through lingering scarlet fever.
The young couple were introduced te
each Other a number of years ago and
their mutual afflictiOn soon brought them
very near to each other. Acquaintance
friendship aud mutual sympathy led to a
courtship, which was looked upon with
favor by all their friends. On the prom.
enade, in the park, driving, or at the resi-
cence Of tho brides parents, they could fire.
quently be seen communicating very read
lily to each other by the rapid movements
of their hands and fingers. Finally an ell
gagement was made, aud last evening in
the presence Of many friends Rev. Mr.
Neitz joined the young couple in marriage.
1t was impossible to procure a minister
who was likewise d deaf mute. Three of
their friends, however. Mr.. and Mrs.
Richards aud Charles Goolitz, also deal
mutcs, acted as ushers.
Shortly after the arrival Of Rev. Neitz,
he took the groom alone to side room
and questioned him concerning the mar.
riage. Their communication was by writ
ing. Subsequently the bride was ques'
toned in the same way. They answered
quite satisfactorily. The entire company
was then summoned to the parlor, where
the young couple presented themselves.
The questions usually put to the groom
were written upon a slate by the minister
read aloud, and then held up so that
the groom could read it !: 1" Do you take
this woman, etc., etc. ?" The groom read
it, nodded his head, and wrote beneath
do" The bride was similarly ques.
toned, and after nodding affirmatively,
wrote her answer in delicate and firm
hand. Subsequently there was vocal ard
instrumental music, merry-making, laugh
ter and gossip. but the young couple
heard it not. They were, however, con-
graduated in a manner that showed the
earnest we'll wishes of tho company for
their future happiness. After the recep-
tion they left Reading and will make a
wedding journey of several weeks.
