An Interrupted Wedding.

A most remarkable hitch took place
at wedding ceremony in ths town of
Aastad, Mimi, which is thus described
by correspondent of the St Paul
Pioneer Press: A large party of friends
had assemb ed at the house of one of
the towns wealthy farmers to witness
the ceremony of a coupe about TO be
married. The Lutheran minister was
to perform the rites, and, in accordance
with the rules, of the church, asked the
groom if he was heart free "Yes,"
came the answer, when the com any
were tn own into CONSERVATION by the
voice of young lady present. "You
lie, sir, cried she. in accents not to be
mistaken. The words actel like n
bombshell thrown among the former
happy throng, and when the m mister
asked for an explanation, letters were
produced to prove that she was also
engaged to the young man, and the
affair looked rather critical for the time
being, The re ected sweetheart. how
ever, after expos ula'ion, consented to
the ceremony being performed, il the
gentleman would apologize and ask to
be forgiven, which he humbly did: but
the minister had by this time le in dis

the face until a Justice the Peace was

the purchase of the water power by the
Reading railroad company, in order to Sc.

CRIME AND CALAMITY.
Eouble Tragedy on = Tennis Ground

E0uDI0 Tragedy ON . Tends Ground.
The picturesque town of Bedford, Eng,
is in the greatest excitement over a thrill
ing lawn tennis tragedy. A party were
playing lawn tennis near the Ship Iun, at
St. Cuthbert's, situated in the centre OF
the town. Among the players were Mr..
De We're, a young army officer, and Miss
Mckay, an exceedingly pretty young lady,
twenty years of age. Suddenly and with.
out apparent provocation De We're pulled
out revolver and shot Miss Mckay dead
on the spot. Before he could be seized he
put the revolver to his ear and blew out
his own brains. Great excitement pre-
walls, both victims being we'll known in
society, and in both cases the only surviv-
ing parents are widows. 1t is believed
that jealousy was the motive of the crime.

Railways In Pennsylvania.

Germantown Telegraph.
Ten years ago the two great states of
Pennsylvania and New York, although by
far the most populous, the most CONNER.
cial and the most industrial in the Union,
stood as regards railway mileage for be
hind the western states of Illinois and
Ohio. This was not caused by deficient
enterprise near the east. but partly by the
enormous influence welded here bv the
powerful trunk line railroad companies
whose capital and resources had for a long
time been largely employed in obtaining
control of all the leading railroads travers-
ing the grain growing districts of the
West. About five years ago, however,
there began to be visible very decided
change in the situation, whereby the re-
sources of New York and Pennsylvania
were applied to the development of the
internal resources of those states by a
general extension of their railroad systems
by the multiplication of branches and
competing lines. This movement, as re-
CARDS our own state of Pennsylvania, has
made particular Roadway, in consequence
of the provisions of the new constitution
removing all the barriers to the free and
unrestricted building of railways, SO that
at the present time capitalists and enter
prising business men enjoy perfect liberty
of railway building.
The result of this freedom has been the
addition of at least two Thousand miles of
new railway to tho total previously in
operation. Nor has this been done in such
a way rs to injure the business of the
Companies previously in existence, since it
is matter of not oriety that their receipts,
their net profits and their general trade
are all higher aud better now than ever
before. Indeed, it is we'll established
fact, that while many of these lines we're
built especially with view to securing the
through business, the whole body of them
are able to pay expenses exclusively out
of the receipts from the way traffic. In
view of this fact, which seems to be true
also of the railways of New York state,
we cannot resist the belief that two thou
sand more miles of railway might prOfita
bly, be created in our own commonwealth
without iDjuring in any way the business
of the existing system. We are very
strongly inclined to believe also that while
these new railways in Pennsylvania have
had in view chiefly the gradual develop.
meut of tue industrial resources, they
have also in large measure led to the
increase of the area of agriculture aud
greatly enhanced the volume and value OF
the products Of the farm, the orchard, tn g
forest, the vineyard and the garden.
Hence we say, lot railroad building go on
in this state as enterprisingly as possible

A FIELD OF BARLEY
And a Field Day for the D-eerine-Dismal
Failures by Two of Its Competitors.
The Father of All Twine-Binde Again Vic
tOrious Over All His Children.

1t has heen the practice of the agents Of most
OF the different kinds OF Twine- binders to ad-
yertise TO the world that they always carry on
the honors at every field trial. ANA to systemati-
cally figure out a victory for the worst and most
signal failure OF their respective machines, until
their repeated accounts of victories have become
the laughing stock of the farmers. Yesterday
one of the largest field contests of the season
took place five miles north of NOhlesvilIe, in
Hamilton county, Indiana. III order to satisfy
the farmers of that county that the celebrated
Deering Twine-binder (Which, by the way, is
'the Father of all Twine-blnders) was superior
to all It's children, as usual it was entered for
trial.
There we're six different machines IN the held
-Deering, Plano, Mccormick, Minneapolis, Wood
aud Gow-down Buckeye. During "A heavy, Gueady
rain they entered he field of barley. Owing to
the heavy rain and peculiar formation of the
ground, the field was very soft, and consequently
the test very severe. Amid the cheers OF nearly
500 farmers, each machine cut one round in its
turn. 1t would be only justice TO say that all the
machines did good work except tine Mccormick
and Low-down Buckeye. The Mccormick made
a dismal failure, iniring down no less than six
times In going round only five acres, and CON
suIning nearly thirty lninures in making tue
round, although it had three horses attached,
while all Others used but two. 1t was
the laughing stock of the crowd, and frequent
cries were made by the loOkers-on to take 1t
out" The Low-dOwn Buckeye d:d little better;
although cutting less than four feet wide it
mired down and chOked every few yards. A
humber of farmers who had given their orders
for the Low-down Cancelled them on the spot
and bought the Deeriug. Tine Deering sustained
its past glorious record by cutting all the after
noon without missing "a sin lie bundle. cutting

A Shooting ARRAY.

Thomas Christerson, "a bricklayer living on
Seventh street, was shot in the face, last night,
by Sarah Wells, a white woman who has the
luxury of a colored husband. Christensen
caught a twelve-year-old son of the woman,
while returning lone from a neighboring gro
Gerry, and was threatening him with O beating,
when the Wells woman came to the rescue of
the boy. A fight between Christensen ana the
woman followed, in which she was
being very roughly handled, when Henry
Patton, a colored man, interfered,
and a lively fight between the two
men ensued, in the course of which the woman,
after pelttng Christensen with stones, drew a
small 22-calIbre revolver aIM fired at him twice.
One of the bullets entered his cheek, making a
wound by no means dangerous. Patton and the
Wells woman were arrested shortly afterwards
by Patrolmen Murphy, Hart and Minor, and were
lodged in the police station on the charge of
assault and battery and shooting with intent to
Kill. Patton is a hostler for Frank Bird, and was
a boarder at the Wells house. The woman is a
notorious character, commonly known by the
name of Sadie McCOrkle.
