The End Of q Serious Joke.

On the evening of October 9, 1876, Miss
Flora A. Hastings. who had been spending
her summer vacation at the Sweet Cha
i lybeate Springs, Va, was standing on the
platform Of the station at Allegheny Sta
i tion waiting for the train to take her back
to Notre Dame Academy, Baltimore. In
the party which had come to bid her fare
well was James O. B. Kelley, aged
eighteen years, two of his sisters, and the
Rev. VIM. Walsh, priest connected with
the Academy. During the ride in an open
carriage to the station, Kelly had pro-
posed that Flora should become his wife,
saying it would be fun to be married.
When they alighted Kelly led the laugh
ing girl to their friend, the priest, and
asked him to perform the ceremony.
Jim, do you want to marry Flora ~
asked the Reverend Father.
| l"Yes, :" answered Jim, with a laugh.
And, Flora, do you want to marry
Jim 20 again queried the priest.
Il don't object, !" she replied and Kelly
answered "All right
Then Flora asked the priest, us that a
real marriage ~ and he answered mon
sense" But the sisters of Kelly then OBJ
jected to'thejoke. The train Numbered
up to the station. Miss Hastings and
Kelly's sisters bade him goodbye and came
to Staunton where they stayed all night
at a hotel. Kelly was not to be so soon
disposed of. He swung on to the rear car
of the train, and surprised the party at the
breakfast-table in the morning. No allu-
sion was made to the marriage ceremony,
and in the afternoon Miss Hastings re-
turned to her school at Baltimore alone.
Miss Hastings in due time returned to
her California home, entered society, and
two years after her Knock" marriage was
welded in brilliant style to Winfield Scott
Reyes. The ceremony was performed by
the Archbishop of San Francisco. Kelly
did not meet the young lady again until
June, 1883, and then, as she claims to her
horror and amaZement, claimed her as his
wife. She had then been married five
years to Reyes. The claim of Kelly. tia
pears, led to misunderstanding between
Mrs. Reyes and her husband, and he
brought suit in the San Francisco Super
ior Court to have his marriage annuled,
on the ground that his wife had been pre-
viously married to Kelly. Mrs. Reyes also
brought suit in New York to have her
mock marriage with Kelly declared void.
Referee Abram King has rendered are
port in favor of Miss Hastings, or Mrs.
Keyes. Hesays that the ''young and incon-
siderate couple, in utter disregard of the !
provisions of the Virginia statute, with
out license or the consent of their |
parents, and without the presence of wit
nesses. entered into the form or ceremony, |
which did not consumate or lawfully join
in marriage ceremony" Judge Andrews,
of the Supreme Court, confirmed the re-
port Monday last.
