He Thought He Was Married.
from the Chicago News. /

A Swede, little acquainted with the
ways of this country, applied about
three weeks ago at the county clerk s
office for marriage license. After the
customary oath had been administered
he went away, leaving his license in
the Office and unpaid for. Supposing
he had taken all the legal steps neces-
sary to become a husband, he from
that time on conducted himself as a
married man. His minister heard OF
the true state of affairs this week, and
told the stranger that his marriage
was not made legal and that he must
get a license and have the ceremony
performed. The Swede went to the
county clerks Office with compan-
ion who explained the situation. A
license was promptly issued.

food of a kind without prejudice to
the results of the inquiry. This is, of
course, the true theory of charity, for
in such cases theproverb about the re-
doubled generosity of immediate relief
is especially applicable. It remains to
be seen whether the president
OF the municipal council and
the three members who accompany
him to form the French deputation
will find that we have much to teach
them on this side,

OFFICIAL CORRUPTION.
Trustees SwindIe Their Township Out @
&1HS 900.

$4,000.
VINCENNEs, Ind, Sept. 5.-An inves-
tigation of the alleged township trustee
swindle as perpetratedi in Davies Coun-
ty, Indiana, twenty miles east OF this
city, reveals what appears to be most
astounding official corruption. There
are three trustees involved, Charles
III. Brown, of Washington township;
John Grinlsley, of Steel township, and
John Clarke, of Barr township. 1t is
said the trustees would issue long
time warrants on their townships,
drawing s per cent. interest. These
warrants or orders are the same as a.
note made payable at bank, and on
their face show that they are executed
by the township trustee to the holder
IN consideration of certain
amount of money paid the trustee
for school supplies. Atrustee fndsno
trouble in disposing of these warrants.
1t is said that the three trustees men
toned have practiced this, and scores
OF these warrants have been issued,
put upon the market and gobbled up
by moHey-lenders. The township
trustees are supposed to have gone to
Canada. Some time will elapse before
the full extent of the losses will be
known. If the warrants are legal
Davies County is ruined; if not-and
the question is a fine point in law to
be settled-then scores of capitalists
in Indianapolis, Chicago, St. Louis,
Cincinnati and throughout the middle
states, it is claimed, are out of pocket.
1t is estimated that warrants on
Washington township have been issued
to the amount of $4,000 although
some claim twice that amount Steele
township $4,000 and Barr township
$4,000

more than ordinary interest in the

prayers for his stead fastness were
laid upon the altar Of every pious
