dressed in the most approved style. The
groom was sttired in very correct dress
suit, and displayed on bis immaculate
shirt front stones that ceTtsiHlv appeared
TO be OF the very first wsiec. His sctions
were 10 strong contrast 20 those OF the
bride. While she held her head proudly
aloit, he was constantly bIusaing and
trying not 10 meet the gaze Of the many
guests. But as the eYeniEgIwore on and
the novelty Of the occasion wore of, he
seemed to regain his self possession and
entered heartily into the e. j0ymaet CT ale
wedding.

decrepit old woman appeared in the bar
room. She wes mourning and crying Bit
,erly. After awhile the proprietor, Mr..
Kramer, succeeded in sliCitipg The iuiur-
nation from her that she Wss the mother
OF the groom. She begged so piteously
to be allowed to see him spd his wife that
she was brought in by the rear way and
WIS shown the bride through window.
At the sight Of her the old woman fSinted
away. After being revived she begged
her son to come away with her. He re-
fused and she was carried cut.
All was now excitement. The guests
were in q ferment, and it required but
slight spark to kind!e flame. II wss added
70 in very short while in the shape Of g
burly German, who insisted on forcing
his way into the hall. He was hatless
and costless. He claimed 10 De the foster
father OF the groom, and threatened to
shoot rot only the bride but every person
il the hall. Loud We're the imprecations
hesped upon the head Of the intruder. He
stood at bay for d minute, snd then with
a shout he made dash at the bride. The
women tainted, the men yelled, and there
were cries Of "Cut him." "SIit his wien"
At last, after considerable pulling and
hauling, the man WAS elected from the
hall. He said Mr.. Shonvitch hsd been
left $4,000, end this had turned his head.
Quiet was finally restored, the festivities
terminated peacefully and Mr. and Mrs.
ShonVitch then left on their wedding tour.

day making arrangements }or the
location of an agency Of his firm in Fort
Worth. They hope to be estab-
lished in few days, Mr..
French himself having charge.
Being asked what the intentions Of the
commission houses were in establishing
these agencies at Fort Worth, this gen
tleman explained that it was intended,
primarily, to get prepared for the open
ing of the union stock yards, at which
time they would commence doing gen.
ersl commission business here, instead of
carrying the stock on to the north. Of
fees will be opened at the yards and daily
reports will be received from Chicago, St.
Louis and Kansas City markets. Cir
culars Snd reports will be printed snf
sent out from Fort Worth for the benefit
Ct the Texas trade. Mr.. French says
business will start of lively from the first
at the stockyards. Such an institution
has been needed Ia this part OF the state.
Their own firm, he went on TO say, had
often had opportunities Of making sales
to buyers here, but owing to the fact that
the roads would not grant stop over prigi-
leges at rates that would justify their
obtainment, very little of such trading
had been done. With the Union Stock
yards here, however, they will find it to
their advantages to grant such privileges
on reasonable terms.
