A Wedding Ceremony Sensibly Postponed
by a Bride at the Last Moment.

| SPECIAL to the Indianapolis Journal
MUNcIE, Aug. 30.-A wedding sensation
took place in this city, on Monday evening,
which was at first tried to be kept pro-
found secret at the home of Mr. L. " Bu-
chairman, coroner OF this county. For some
| time past the daughter of the above named,
it appears, had been keeping the company of
one Simon Marshal of Portland Ind, and
! the keen perceptions of the father has caused
him to object somewhat to the coming match,
but as he could not at that time offer any
serious objections he consented to the
! marriage under protest, and, on
, the evening above mentioned, the
4. friends of the family with many others
whose curiosity gets the better
of them on such occasions, repaired to the
residence of the brides parents to see the
nuptial knot tied. In the meantime, after
the guests had been invited, the officers of
the city received telegram that one Simon
/ Marshall was wanted at Portland for stealing
a watch and other articles OF value. Mr..
Buchanan and the would-be bride were
notified of the fact AS a result, when the
groom arrived to fulfill his promise, the Rev.
J G. w. Lynch waiting to solemnize the vow.
when the proper moment arrived they told
Marshall that the ceremony could not go on,
and 1t could not at any time until the matter
was cleared up. Pleading and protestatons
were alike in vain, the almost bride was in
eXorable, and the groom retired, promising
to satisfactorily settle the matter The com
pany, full of admiration and sympathy for
the lady, retired. Mr.. Marshall has been
about the city to-day, although he does not
make himself conspicuous. As to how the
| matter will pan out cannot be ascertained.
