A s LOVER.

Man.
Not since Mrs. Beech, Q white woman Of
some social prestige, married Francis, .
colored barber, thirty years ago, has there
been such an excitement in Bridgeport,
Conn.,, over q marriage as there is now over
the proposed wedding of Miss Annie Tent,
q white woman Of 80, to Thomas Bridfozth,
colored, . native Of Virginia. The woman
has been in the family Of Marcus Whesler
for twenty years. She is an English girl.
Her parents died when she vas . child, and
Mr. Wheeler adopted her. The dusky lover
has lived at Bridgeport seven years. He
has property both here and In Boston, is
quitedressy and has been visiting Miss Tent
for some months. Saturday morning Brid-
forth took out q marriage license and ap.
pesred to be in . great hurry. Rev. Mr..
Taylor. of the Zion church, was selected
to perform the ceremony, and the bride
was expected to arrive on the IL o'clock
express. She did not come. When
Wheeler heard that . license had been
granted he became furious, and with his
indignant %neiehbors from Lopghill pro-
posedto secure the arrest of Bridforth or
else by force prevent the marriage. Bird
forth, learning that he possibly would be
assaulted. fortified himself with several
drinks, and by 3 p. m. was quite hilarious.
He exhibited $500 in bills and said he
would marry his fair sweetheart at all
hazards. At 4 p. m. Miss Tent arrived
and was the center OF attraction at the
station. They were loon surrounded by Q
crowd, and after . few moments talk both
she and her dark companion boarded the
next train for New Haven. Miss Tent
has several thousand dollars In the savings
bank.
