immediately in front of the hotel.
IN THE TwNEIISG or AN EyE.
No sooner had the horses stopped than
two officers Jumped ont. and serving Dr.
Moore dragged him out followed by 'ne
other two officers. and rushed him IN al
most the twinkling Of an eye into the hotel
and upstairs into secure room. Ihe
crowd made grand rush TO follow. and
was so close upon hun that before he
could get up the steps the way was
blocked. This was a crowd of friends and
those who came from mere Idle
curiosity. but neither DIR. Moore nor
the officers knew this or understood H.
and they were much alarmed.
DIR. Moore seemed terribly frightened
and was a. pale as corpse, and perhaps
any one elsc would have been under the
same circumstances: but it was only a
minute OF 50 before the situation was un-
derstood.
HR AGBEEs TO MARRY nFR.
Not until Qaiet was restored was II I'M
dcrstoOd why the stop was made 81 the
hotel. Then u was discovered that Or.
Moore had determined 10 marry the lady
az once, and thus avoid being sent 20 lall
al all. As soon as possible two friends went
out 20 see the lady and her mother and
learn If she would consent 20 marriage,
and for the ceremony 10 be performed at
once Ii was fully an hour before they re-
turned. the crowd still remaining IN
anxious suspense.
SHE WOULD NOT CONSENT.
The report came that neither the lady
nor her mother would consent 10 a mar
rage until they had time 10 think the mat
ter over, and consult with other friends.
This was not satisfactory 20 the friends oil
Dr. Moore. so that another attempt was
made and two others went out. These re-
NAMED nearly another hour, and brought
back the same report. Neither one would
consent under any circumstances Tor the
marriage 10 take place then. and would not
even intimate that they would at any time,
but said that all depended upon what
other friends and relatives might advise.
TAKEN TO JAIL.
II was then o'clock in the morning,
and there being nothing else 10 do the
officers told the Doctor that they would
have 20 place him III jan. In few mo-
ments more the steps OF officers and phi
soner were heard descending the stairway.
On their appearance az the front door the
crowd parted and allowed them 20 pass
through. following close on behind on
either side. The Jail l. only one square
from the hotel. So thatlt was soon reached:
The outside doors were swung open ana

might catch of him from the rays OF a
dim lantern. No one was allowed inside

that was all no could do at the present
time To atone for the disgrace he had in

him hosts of friends many of whom are

SHE AGREES AT LAST.
Early this morning and all day long the

sympathizers. The friends of both parties
have seen the lady and her mother, and
late this afternoon IL was agreed and set
tied that the marriage should take place
and all criminal proceedings be stopped.
