IN a recent presentation of marriage statistics
by Chicago paper 1t was stated as a curious
fact that recently prospective bridegroom
took out two licenses, giving as a eason that he
and his intended were of different religions, and
were to be married by two ministers, each of
whom would have to have license with which
to certify to the marriage. This is painful
subterfuge, rendered necessary by the uncer-
tainties of the duration of marriage in Chicago.
He thought to double his chances by taking
two licenses

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. negro girl under
tence of Ono years imprisonment in the Georgia
penitentiary for forgery has been pardoned by
the Governor. The circumstances of the child's
conviction, which occurred two three months
ago, are very justly termed, by the Georgia
newspaper which gives account of them, as
"qute interesting and remarkable" She was
arrested In Savannah, on a charge of obtaining
goods on a forged order; the grand jury, in
session at the time, found true bill against her.
and the next day she WAS put trial, counsel
being appointed for her by the court The hon
orable but preoocuped gentleman ntrusted with
the case had no time to spare in looking up the
one witness on whom the girl relied for her
testimony, and, though che persisted in de-
clarng her innocence, the able attorney entered
plea of guilty, and she was sentenced accord
ingly. AS it happened, the girl had "a father
living out Of the city, who, with that disrespect
for the methods of the white mans law common
in the negro and so much deprecated by the
Southern press, proceeded to an Investigation of
his daughters trouble as soon as he heard of it,
The father had no trouble in finding the neces-
sary Witness and lin establishing the fact that
another and older girl was the one guilty of the
forgery; but the court having no more jurisdic-
ton, was poweress to undo its work. The case
was submitted to the Governor, the judge him
self signing the petition, and the child has
finally been pardoned. If the father is able
bodied, he should now turn his attention to the
limb Of the law who misconducted the case

widow of one OF the riders in the famous charge

some of the spirit that animated the Light
Brigade when 1t rode 'intO the jaws of death"
She had 500 in the Beaver bank. On Thursday
morning she heard rumors affecting the banks
standing, and she lost no time in going there and
demanding her money. The urbane president
suavely informed her that she was too late; that
the bank would close on the morrow, and that
she would have to take her chances with other
depostOrs. Mrs. UbaltO whispered to her con
TO go back home and bring her pistol, while she
held the fort. The bank officer had not heard
the order, and maintained dignifled silence
The boy soon returned and handed the weapon
TO his mother, who once more demanded her
money, at the same time pointing the weapon
she would shoot him If he did not immediately
comply. Seeing that che was determined, he
reluctantly went TO the vault, counted out 800
ana handed 1t over to her. The Inevitable
sequel followed. Handing the money and the
pistol to her son. she swOoned.

SHOOTING ARRAY IN ASSUMPTION
Last Sunday evening Mr.. Sam. Blan-
chard was shot and perhaps mortally
wounded by Mr.. Leo Savoie. @3oth par
ties are young men and citizens of Assump-
tion, residing in the upper portion of
that parish, near the scene of their en-
counter. The misunderstanding origi-
mated about spade which Blanchard
had left at the Savoie place, where he
worked during the past rolling season.
Blanchard recently went and got the
spade and carried it back home. savoie,.
not knowing the implement belonged to
Blanchard, made some derogatory re-
marks concerning him which were con-
veyed to Blanchard's ears aud perhaps
exaggerated somewhat in the transmits
sion. AS Savoie was driving along the
road in his buggy, Sunday evening, he
was accosted aud attacked by Blanchard,
who is large, strong man, and who en-
deavored to drag Savoie from the vehi-
Gle. No doubt fearing great bodily in
jury, Savoie drew revolver and fred
three shots at his assailant in rapid sue
cession. One of the bullets passed through
Blanchard's right hand and another en-
tered his left breast not far below the
heart, infiicting wound which will in
all probability prove fatal. Although
Mr.. Blanchard was still alive at last ac-
counts, his condition is very low. and
news of his death is constantly auticipa-
ted.
