Some Of the most respectable ladies II
Decatur have recently been receiving
through the mails at this place letters of 1
very sCandalous character. The matter
has been placed in the hands of competent
officials and they have about located the
parties guilty OF the devilish deed. When
those who have sunk so low in the scale OF
will be raised in Decatur that will eclipse
any Indian war-hoop ever heard on the
frontier of Texas.
Last Sunday night there arrived on the
west-bound train, from Kentucky, Marion
Stewart, esq.,, Mrs. Ida Evans and Miss Ida
Evans, aged 10 years, a daughter of the
lady. Marion is quite youth, being about
bride, is about 40. 1t seems they ran away
from "old Kentucky" for the purpose
of concentrating the marriage, and having
| heard many wonderful accounts of the
prosperity OF Fort Worth, deter
mined to stop here and learn whether there
was room here for live man with thrifty
wife to make fortune. Upon arrival here
they went to the Planters house, notifying
the proprietor and clerk of their purpose
and intention and desiring to have the affair
fixed up as soon as possible. A drawback
was caused, however, which delayed them
until this morning, as the baggage of
neither had arrived up to last evening. 1t
arrived last night in time to have every
thing ready for this morning. Their ward
robe was considered an absolute necessity,
and the couple were highly elated when
they found everything ready, just as they
had arranged them. At about o quarter
past II this morning. quite number of
curious spectators gathered at the Planters
house to witness this novel affair, and

were agreeably surprised at finding the
facts, which had leaked out, to be as repre-
sented.
When all was ready the couple and little
girl came down stairs to the off-room of the
office, where all were gathered to witness
the ceremony, The little girl preferred TO
remain outside, and did not seem to realize
that anything unusual was going on. Rev.
Robert d. Wear, who ofaciated, stood up,
when the couple entered, and performed
the ceremony in brief, but well conducted
manner, delivering an appropriate
prayer at the close of his remarks. For
a time it was supposed that q hitch would
be made in another sense, as the license was
issued in the neme of Miss Ida Evans, in
stead of Mrs, which was the title of the
bride. There being Miss Ida Evans in
the family, there exist grave doubts as to
whether the groom married the girl or her
mother: Mr.. Stuart came from western
Kentucky, but has been to Louisville once
with Charlie Davis, of Smithfield. The
newly-married couple will make their home
in Fort Worth, and are determined to show
everybody that young body guided by an
old and experienced brain can work as great
success as two young hearts that beat as |
ONE Fort Worth Democrat.
The association then adjourned, subject |
to call, and to meet that night at Kent's |
hotel, where a magnificent banquet was |
