otherwise. Yesterday Mr.. Nease left
the grocery and said he was going TO
dinner. About the same time Miss Nc
Kinley left her fathers home, saying
she was going up street to do some shop
ping. The lovers met near the Pan
Handle railroad station in time to take
the 1:45 train for Pittsburgh. Nothing
was heard from the couple until this

and believed that she loved him, but did
not know il. He pressed his snit
with protestations and threats aud, IL Is

one else; or, that II she did not marry
him he would kill her. He would take
no refusal, and came home with her

at intersections and reservations. This
persecution, she says. destroyed my

They went together into the house OF
the minister and were married. Neither
the minister nor any one else

marriage, but the husband and
wife parted with the understanding
that there was to be no consummation,
and the matter was TO be kept secret;
but the license got into the papers and
the marriage became public.
