al the same time disclose a probable

1t Is very generally knbwn that the

that passengers purchasing tickets Tor

to Chicago on the Michigan Central.
This has been a thorn in the SIDE Of the
c. * W. NJ. people, who have been long
casting about for some means OF land
ing their passengers directly IN Chicago,
and it is now probable they have found
the way.

by three or four roads running 10

more 4 OHIO and the Nickel Plates. II
is said, sub rosa, that there Is "A deal on
with both these roads and the {. & ".

/ The idea, in brief, Is TO either secure
the privilege for the c. & W. NJ. TO lay
continuous tracks from Ia Crosse
/ 10 Chicago on the night Of way
owned by either of those roads,
/ or to make the run from Ia Crosse
on the track of which ever company
the c. & W NJ. gets the best terms

route from Grand Rapids 10 the World s

settled, il will necessitate the establish
ment Of certain Offices and other neees-
sary adjuncts at Chicago, and the
rumor Is that Capt. VIM. a. GaYett will
be placed in charge thereof.

Which Occurred ia Jadge Browns Court
Yesterday.


Victor Hugo or Dumas never related
stranger story OF fiction than the
drama Ia real lie which occurred in
Justice Browns court yesterday morn
ing The chief actors were man and
woman, well known IN Grand Rapids
society, and the ceremony which was
performed IN that dingy little tribunal
was tinged deeply with sadness. 1t was
eousummated amid tears. The office
had scarcely opened when four people
entered, and related an astonishing
story 1t WAS told in confidence to the
Justice. and ne pledged his word OF
honor never TO reveSl the trust imposed
II him. There was marriage, and
they All departed. Two OF the party
present were only witnesses.
According to the story which leaked
out after their departure, the principals
n the ceremony were married eighteen
years ago; or at least the form OF Il
marriage had been gone through with.
They have lived together ever since, be-
llevng that they were man and wife.
They discovered Tuesday, however,
that they were living together Illegally.
Justice Brown, when seen yesterday
afternoon, refused TO reveal the names
OF the parties or give any OF the clrcum-
stances IN connection with the case.
lie said, though, that they belonged to
one of the best families IN the
city, and their wealth is COM
puted IN the hundreds of thousands
OF dollars. They fortunately have had
no children and their painful position Is
due entirely to 4 mistake. The justice
also said that the marriage license was
taken out Yesterday but the record OF
It IS locked up tightly and safely IN the
vaults of the county clerks office.
There were only twomarriage licenses
put on the public records ID the clerk s
office yesterday and neither one of
them would IN any way correspond
with the case related above. This seems
strange, as the records have always
been considered open to the public.
Licenses when taken ont are numbered
in rotation and the only way one could
be suppressed would be TO give it half
number.
All who have had anything to do
with the marriage are silent, and at the
county clerks Office it is denied that the
license was procured. Justice Brown
admits having performed the cere-
mony, but further facts can not be
ascertained at present.
