A BANG-UP WEDDING.
Theodore Krlder and Rebecca Hoffman to
he SpIiced on Thursday.

They'll be right in it, yes, they Will.
Next Thursday, barring the millennium
and Dec uoLente, there will be right
smart, hifaluting wedding In high
social circles, that Is, up as high as the
reservoir on Wheeling hill, in which
Rebecca Hoffman will grasp the grim
fipper of Theodore Krider for better or
worse, sober or full, rags, dirt and all.
Rather than cause an upheaval in social
circles this has been kept on the dead
quiet for awhile, but yesterday
il got loose through circumstances
unforeseen. Yesterday afternoon
about $50 Officer Scally was coming
along the Pike when he heard great
commotion in the vicinity OF the krider
residence, and quite number OF guests
unsolicited gathered on the scene. IL
seems that Krider, whose spectral form
has so frequently added to the scenic
effects of the Police Court, got full yes
terday, sublmely full, and while trying
to scare up some amusement, something
that was entirely new and original, an
idea struck him, and before it got away
he seized an AK, and commenced to tear
the house down, in which
Mrs. Hoffman, the dear crea-
ture. always so kind, lent a
helping hand. Windows were being
broken right and left, doors smashed,
and the floor in places torn up. The
earthly abode is q one story structure,
unpretentious and decidedly aromatic,
not so much from roses, sweet williams,
and night blooming cereus in the Day
window, as from incrustations OF ages.
You could almost cut the air inside the
hoyel in slices. While Krider was bust
" at work wrecking the prop
arty, the nelghbors raised an
alarm. and Officer Scally arrived
on the scene. Such was the
excitement that several hundred people
gathered about the horse. The patrol
wagon was summoned and the happy
pair escorted to the police station,where
they were assigned quarters behind the
bars. Perhaps it would be well to state
right here that Krider drinks.
While awaiting cell accommodations
in the corridor the Krlder and the
Hoffman woman formed a picturesque
pair. The suit In which Krider was ar
rayed was yellow with age, and marred
with paint, dirt aud holes.
A derby hat crowned the Uranium, hav-
ing all the appearance Of having gone
through a stone crusher by mistake.
About the only section Of the wardrobe
that was intact was the shoe on the left
foot, otherwise it was decidedly neg
lige. The woman wore address and a
pale expression, the latter being good
deal more becoming than the dress. She
expressed a determination to marry
Krlder, on next Thursday and "by
Cd, I'll git there or die" she said.
Owing to the difficulty Of gauRing the
different cliques Of society, no cards
have been issued. The blowout will be
free as the mountain air. There
will be no formality OF usbers,
attendants, or hacks, In place OF
which the police officers and patrol
wagon will probably oficiate. krider
will wear pants and vest, and possibly
a coat IL it holds out till Thursday.
The honeymoon trip has not been fully
decided upon, but chances are that IL
will not De further than the jail. Krider
has pulled through % winters, while
only so summers have whistle
through Rebecca's locks. 1t will be q
highly-favored amalgamation.
