PROBATE COURT.
There was no important business trans

marriage licenses were issued.
PROCURING MARRIAGE LICENSES.
Friday is not good day any how, for
seekers OF marriage licenses. Monday is
their great day, so Deputy j. f. Knob
LAUGH says, and he ought to know His
thorough understanding on Sunday night
and concluded to get the license next.
Then, too, most marriages occur during
the middle of the week and they have the
license ready in time. Fine out of ten
men procure their licenses themselves.
and fully three-fcurths of them say, well
now, judge would like for you not to let
the newspapers get hold OF this until after
the wedding The month of May is the
most popular time Of the year
for getting married. Some days there will
be great run of two or three or more
marrying couples from the same outside
town. Then the applicants will all be city
people.
Occasionally very difident young man
from the country will walk into the Office.
nervously lingering the brim of his hat
and after glancing about the room will
quietly walk up TO the probate Judge and
meekly ask, Are you the prooate-the
probate judge?" Judge Thomas always
feels for these poor young fellows and in
tones of encouragement assures him that
he Is. The young man feels somewhat
easier. draws sigh of relief and tells the
judge he wants to get a marriage license.
Once in while one takes the judge into
the rear Office to tell him what he wants.
His own age never borhers him. but the
age of the lady does. This is particularly
the case if the girl be too young to marry
without her parents consent, or, again, in
case she is older than her prospective life
partner. And so on it goes, with no end of
oddities.

Mall Pouches Robbed.

CnIcAGo, October 2j.-The mail pouch
which left Boston Tuesday and arrived
in Chicago early last evening over the
Michigan Southern Railroad was robbed
OF all the firsi-class matter 1t contained.
The stolen package consisted OF regis
tered letters, aud the supposition is that
a large amount Of money was secured by
the thief. The rifled pouch came to this
city in charge of Railway Mail Clerk
Stevenson, TO whom it had been turned
over ri Cleveland. On reaching the
Chicago postoffice he Immediately re-
ported the robbery TO Inspector kidder:
The bag had been cut open, the thief
taking the package containing first-class
matter only, not molesting the fourth
class matter. This leads 10 the belief
that the perpetlator Of the robbery was
sCme one connected with the postal ser
vice. j. G. Stevenson, the route agent
in whose charge the robbed mail pouch
had been. was seen at midnight at the
pos,office, had evidently been instructed
10 keep ouiet-which be did effectively.
He ipiimates that the work was done
somewhere east of Cleveland, as the
packages were not touched from tie
time he got on the car until he reached
the depot here. The rifed bag was one
of forty that were in the car when he
took charge, and he receiptcd for all
without any examination further than to
see that the number Of bags was correct.
The robbery Is supposed to have been
committed some time after leaving Bos'
ton and before reaching Cleveland. 1t
would have been impossible, ii is said,
for the theft TO have been committed In
the Boston Office after the mail was made
up, as the condition of the bag would
have been discovered between the office
and the train, or if not it would certainly
have been detected by the mail clerks
when Il was taken aboard The car.

and a woman went into the jewelry store
of Mr. John F. kohler, at No. 7i5 East

out Mr.. Kohlers knowledge, dexterousiy
substituted two paste rings for the gen.
uine stones end went out. Mr. kohler,

tauce above the place where he and
hts alleged wife committed the robbery.
His name was Riley. He was
nicely dressed and wore a fsl! overcoat,
in which was an outside pocket, common
to all overcoats. But this special
pocket was very. peculiar 1t was so
arranged that any stolen money could be
put the way down into the lining and
lodged in between the seams. He was
taken to the Second police station and
locked up on suspicion.
Later on his female accomplice was
also arrested. She gave her name as
Henrietta Merton, and search warrant
