A DISAPPOINTED BRIDE.


"He Comsth Not, She Said"
Mrs. Kate Lacey, Of Martins Ferry, is
a disappointed bride, She was to have
been married on Wednesday evening at
7 o'clock to George Thompson, but he
failed to show up. In the afternoon Mrs,
Lacey received a telephone message from
her bethrothed, who was at Bellaire, He
said he had received a telegram from his
home in New York announcing the
death OF his mother; that he was about
to leave over the Baltimore & Ohio road
for that city, and that the wedding would
have to be postponed for a month or 50,
Extensive preparations had been made
for the wedding at the residence Of Mrs,
Barney Mullen, on First street, who Is
Mrs, Lacey's mother, and with whom
she has been living since the death Of
her first husband, Michael Lacey, six
years ago, A first class supper had been
prepared, the table set, many friends
and relatives invited, and everything was
in readiness for the happy event, Some
Of the guests were present, 1t Is now

sons mother was blind, and that he
skipped never to return, Mrs, LaCey's
friends have come TO this conclusion,
aud congratulate her on her escape,
thinking Thompson unworthy OF her
hand and heart, II Is said that he has
found IL convenient for his mother to
die on other occasions. About o year
ago he was working at the blast furnace
aud sent word to the manager that he
had got telegram from New York con-
veying the sad intelligence Of the death
Of his mother, and was going to that city
on the first train. The next day he was
drunk, and his spree lasted several days,
He recently told an acquaintance that he
had no parents or relatives in this ceuu,

he has been braking on the Cleveland
