THE CASE.

Conway is an agricultural man, who
calls his home at Presumption, where the
missives that terminated in his misfortune
were in the habit of finding their postal
destination. It is evident that he appreci-
ated the benefits and pleasures Of female
society, and had become disguised with
the loneliness of single life. He therefore
busted himself in looking up a helpmeet,
that would make life more bearable and
render existence something more than a
mere march from the cradle to the grave.
He finally singled out his young cousin,
Miss Hannah, whom he pictured as the
very person indispensable for tbs full en-
joyment of his present as well as future
existence 1t is highly probable that he
informed the young relative of the fact.
and told her the old, old story of mans
devotion at the shrine of female lowell
ness.
1t is not known whether she requested
her sutton to interrogate her parents, or
desired time to investigate his bank ac-
count or financial standing in Dun's com
mercial agency. 1t is stated that she re-
ciprocated the tender passion and it was
thought that the troubles of life had dis
appeared and the beauties and happiness
alone remained.

BREAKERS.

Both of the parties were members OF
the Catholic church, and it is a well known
fact that the church does not allow the
marriage of persons related to each other
in the fourth degree. This fact apparently
made no difference with the enthusiastic
lovers, as having received the paternal
to secure a papal permit which would allow
them to be man and wife. The CORES
pondence naturally occupied some time,
and before the. necessary papers had been
received, one of the parties had changed
his mind. He found that there were other
women in the world in addition to his
fa1acee who would make the ordinary NOR
tai wife in every way acceptable.

A CHANGE.

Conway resided at Presumption, his fe-
male cousin at Coal Valley, and his second
choice found habitation at Milan. In
driving from his home to this city he pass
ed through Milan, and on one of his trips
he met Miss Ellen Kehoe, who proved to
be his long lost affinity. He soon trans
ferred his affections to the latter young
lady, and became strong advocate against
the marriage of those related even in a re-
mote degree.
He failed to tarry at Coal Valley, but
passed through that village and spent his
leisure hours at Milan.
The change soon became apparent, and
it was then said that such conduct would
not be tolerated. Conway. however, heed
ed not the warning, but proceeded with
his second suit until the object of his
warmed over affections, had named the day
which was to make him happy Benedict.

TROUBLE.

Conway evidently anticipated some
trouble as he failed to appear before the
County Clerk in person to secure his mar
riage license yesterday, but had some
friend perform that duty for him.
AS soon as the license was secured the
contracting parties met at Milan and were
married by Catholic priest. The cere-
mony was hardly completed before a
deputy sheriff knocked at the door and
made inquiries as to the whereabouts of
young Conway, He was not to be seen,
but it was stated that he had started for
his home with his newly welded bride.
The officer Immediately started in pursuit
and overlook the newly married couple as
they were crossing the bridge near Moline.
A halt was made and then and there the
sheriff read to Conway the information
that his cousin had instituted suit against
him for breach of promise, and he was
summoned to appear at the May term Of
the circuit court as defendant in the case
and tell the court what he knew about
trifling with young lady's affection.
THE OFFICER
having performed his duty, which necessi-
tated the interrupting a wedding journey,
the happy couple aud
allowed them to depart in peace.
There was no scene, as the young wife
listened to the implied accusation against
the constancy of her liege lord without
evincing any alarm if not with perfect
Thus the first chapter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Conway's wedding experience ends, and
the second chapter win be told in the May
of the circuit court unless q
compromise is arranged before the con-
vening of court.

Uncurrent Silver.

Just now it is difficult to circulate sill
yer coins which have been subjected to
abrasion, and especially so those thai
have holes In them. The number of un.
current silver coins in the Treasury is
enormous. Of these there are: Three
cent pieces, S77,4S9 27; half-dimes
S257,02 IS; twenty cent pieces, S79,.
299; abraded and unfit for circulation,
S45,657 76. The accumulation of abra.
ded silver arises from the fact that there
has been no appropriation for their re-
coinage for the last two fiscal years, and
there is no law fixing the least current
weight of silver coins, or providing for
their recoinage, as Is the case with gold
coins. And there is no method OF dis
posing of silver coins so reduced in
weight by natural abrasion as to be pn-
fit for circulation, though the Treasury
is required TO redeem such coins under
the act of Congress Of July 9, 1879 =
The only practical disposition that can
be made of these coins is to send them
to the Mint for recoinage, involving a
discrepancy in the cash of the Treasury
to an amount eqral to the loss upon
their recoinaee, which discrepancy can
be made good only bY an appropriation,
asked for by the Secretary of the Tress.

to do nothing toward passing bank

is discreditable shirking of legislative

toes. When ready 10 retire for the night

which abound in sleeping cars,and which
