Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNcIE, Oct. 8.-For few days past Miss
Clara Jaqua OF Union City, has been visiting
friends in this city, having stopped here return
ing from visit with her uncle, Governor
Gray, at Indianapolis. Yesterday morn
ing Mr.. Harry Brit, prominent
young business man of Union City,
formerly of this city. came to this place and
was met at the train by Miss Jaqua, and they
together went to Anderson, where they were
quietly united in marriage by Rev. zeigler, pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church of that
place. Mr.. and Mrs. Brit then returned
to this city and remained over night
with friends. going to their home this morning.
The marriage was designed as little piece of
romance, and was to have been kept secret for
some time, but the facts leaked OUT the secret
being too good to keep. The announcement Of
the marriage created some surprise here.
