Especial correspondence 10 the HERALD.
The consummation of quite little ro-
nance was reached in Judge Cranes
court on Tuesday. Two young lovesick
creatures were made one by the fatherly
Justice. They were Fred Lambert of
Carpinteria, aged 10 years, and Miss
May Croop, a winsome lass from Sum-
merland, aged II. For long time past
the pair have been engaged and wanted
to get married in the worst way, but
Papa Croop did not see it that way, and
refused the gallant Fred his daughters
hand. Sly Cupid is never idle, how
ever. and soon whispered to the
wounded-hearted children way out of
the difficulty.
Lambert brought his inamorata with
him on Tuesday, went before Justice
Crane, and explained the case. The
Judge agreed to help them out, and soon
Fred and May went out into the now
brighter world man and wife.
Father Croop followed the young
couple to this city and endeavored to
stop the proceedings, but he was too
slow. When he found it was "gone and
did" be came sensibly forward, like a
good old fellow, and had his children
get license, and they were married
over again.
POLLY GOURLEY'S DEMISE.
"Polly" Gourley has gone to rest.
Polly was well-known feature to fre-
quenters of the beach, and many are the
tourists that have stood in wonderment
gazing at the cage pet Polly was a
great Ialker. He would tell the fash
ionably dressed old ladies how much he
wanted cracker; to the younger of the
sex he frequently spoke of them as "Sally
in our alley,' and upon an eastern dude
making his appearance in shell-shaped
something covering his Uranium he was
politely asked where he got that hat.
Towards evening when theCupid- cken
couples hied themselves o the beach
and slowed themselves away under the
wharf or behind old logs in the soft,
yielding sand, Polly was in his glory.
He would laugh as hard as a parrot
could laugh, and slyly make such side
remarks as "I'm onto you," "Johnny
get your gun," or "Stop, or I'll tell my
NAL"
But no longer will Polly make his
presence known. He has gone; gone
where the birds of paradise come from,
and where he will no longer be bothered
by nightly disturbers of his peace.
Peace to his ashes.
Polly's death was caused by eating
splinters, owing to the scarcity of
crackers.
Little Cora Baker, aged 6 years, died
Wednesday night of measles.

The Times new correspondent We'd
nesday devoted some considerable space
to political 'news." He informed his
readers that Mr.. Pierce was the chosen
candidate for mayor in the Republican
column. In justice to Mr. Pierce we
might say he refused to allow his name
to be used some days ago. @. II. Hunt
has been selected by the Republicans to
try and defeat Mr.. E. w. Gatz, the gem
tleman who will be chosen by the peo-
pie to occupy the mayor's chair.
