How AN OFFICIAL SAT DowN.-The
 Washington pavements were as slippery as a well waxed floor on the night of Miss BreWster's wedding, writes correspond dent of the Philadelphia Record. So many carriages were crowded together In front ot the church that the street was packed almost solidly for more than block. Many people did not attempt to get at thelr carriage, preferring to skate home rather than wait in the cold air for an hour
 But one, gentleman who was gorgeously attired In full evening dress wanted his carriage, and wanted 1t very much. It contained his. overeoat, his heavy gloves, and his mufher. He did not care to try "the rink racket on the glassy pavements in danoing pumps. That was all right of course, But the other guests standing on the broad steps of Epiphany after the bridal party had got away thought that he displayed more feeling than was necessary, He fussed and fumed and fidgeted until everybody else was tired and he appeared to be exhausted. He was commissioner. or Q congressman, or something! of thai sort, and he proclaimed his rank and his il-breeding in the same ostentatious way. He pushed and jostled and showed till he got to the front, and then he shouted for his carriage until he was hoarse and every body else was deaf, At length his carriage came. His footman descended and opened its door. With final flourish the great man started for the carriage step. I'm agine the delight of the crowd when his polished patent leather pumps flew from under him and he slid down to the open carriage door on his satin-lined dress coat l The joy was not loud but deep.

We're empty than usual, and from this on directly
the reverse is highly probable. As last month
large per cent. of the grain going forward is

or Sandusky, west-bound traffic, which fell of
sharply early in the week, began later TO I'M
prove somewhat, but is still lighter than the
early part of July. Business with north and

attribute to the fact that Georgia has disposed
of her watermelon crop, or at least has ceased
shipping them northward. Local business Is
said to average well with that of the correspond
