MARRYING a FAMILY.
Two Daughters in Succession and
Finally the MOther-in-LayV.

A Philadelphia dispatch from Homes
dale Penn, gives the following roman
tic story. James !. Mooney, a young
man twenty two years old, who has al
ways been regarded as the heir presump-
tive to one OF the most valuable farms
in central Susquehanna county, he be-
ing the fayorite nephew Of wealthy
farmer who has no other legal heirs, fell
in love about three years ago with
young woman named Anna McGarry,
whose father was a well-to do and re-
spectacle farmer IN Perry county. He
became engaged to her, but the young
couple quaueied and the engagement
was broken off. Mooney then began
paying his attentions to Betty, the six
teen-y ear-old sister OF his late bethroth-
ed. The Two became engaged. Two
days before the proposed wedding day
Betty took otlense at Mooney and un.
tremendously broke the engagement.
Anna McGauy, MONEYS former afr
snced, had not spoken to him since their
estrangement and he was surprised to
receive letter from her some days af-
ter the engagement with Betty was
broken. 1t simply expressed to him her
regrets that her sister had treated him
so shabbily. In a few weeks the old
relations between Mooney and his old
love were renewed and they were mar
ried in the spring of 1883. On their
wedding trip they visited The relatives
Of the young husband, in Susquehanna
county. Three months later Mrs.
Mooney died The next winter the
young widower paid court to his sister
in law Betty, who had refused to marry
him year before. The young lady
reciprocated his attentions, but her
father, who was a widower objected.
They ran away and were married a year
almost TO a day from the time Mooney
had married his second brides sister.
While Mr. and Mrs. Mooney the second
were at the house Of the groom's pa
rents they received word from the brides
father that he had married young wo-
man, the daughter of a farmland and a
servant in McGarry's house. She was
about the age OF his daughter Betty,
while he was sixty-hve years old. Two
weeks after Mooney returned to Perry
county with his wife, old Mr.. McGarry
who had been in poor health for some
time, died. He willed the most OF his
property to his young widow On July
4,h last young Mrs. Mooney was so bad
ly injured IN runaway accident that
she died few days later. Last week
Mooney visited his uncle in Susquehan-
ma county again. There was young
woman with hum whom he introduced as
Mrs. Mooney. At bedtime the uncle
learned that the third wife was the STEP
mother OF her two dead predecessors,
the young woman whom old Mr.. McGar-
~ had narrated while Mooney and his
second bride were spending their honey
moon in Susquehanna county. By this
third marriage Mooney secured hand
some wife and farm in Perry county,
valued at $4,000. His rich uncle in
Susquehanna county is indignant, how
+ ever, and it is the general opinion that
Mooney need not longer expect to be.

his lawyer, at the county seat, on Fri.
day, and changed his will. Mooney is
| not yet twenty-five years old.
