Mr.. James T.. Prendergast. Of Al
toona, Pa, and Miss Nettie O. Slane
We're united in the bonds of holy
matrimony Tuesday afternoon. Nov.
-. 1892, at the brides home, North
Maple avenue. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev c. S. Trump according
Ritual to the Of the Lutheran Church.
The bride wore handsome china silk.
and carried bouquet Of marchal neil
roses. Mr.. Charles Kimmerling was
groomsman and Miss Bette Boehm,
bridesmaid.
Tue parlorNas artistically trimmed
and adorned with cyprus and flowers.
A bell trimmed with laurel, was sus-
pended from the ceiling beneath
which the ceremony took place. After
the. ceremony and Congratulations,
the host of relatives and friends pres
ent were invitedto participate in the
beautiful and abundant supply of re-
freshments,. The presents were very
numerous, beautiful and useful, indi-
eating the appreciation in which the
bride was held. The happy couple
started on the $50 train2for BALTIC. and
Washington, to return after a trip of
10 days. We trust the groom will
make Martlnsburg his Future home,
and identify himself with the progress
of our city, living a happy life.

Some Curious LObsters.

Visitors to Portland Pier, Me-, who hap
pened one day not long since to drop into
the lobster house of Mr.. Lewis Med
were favored With view of bright blue
lobster which was caught off Cape Eliza
beth by Peaks Island fisherman. The
color was decidedly different from the
green of the ordinary lobster. On the
back the blue was of that deep variety
that belongs to indigo, and toward the
extremities and under parts shaded off to
fainter but still unmistakable tint, and
thence into pure white. The under
part of one of the claws is almost pure
white. The lobster is about eleven
inches long. One claw is of full size,
while the other is very small. It is said
that one other blue lobster has been
caughto if the cape this season. Mr.. Nc
Donald thinks of preserving the speci-
men.
He has also a pure white lobster
caught about five years ago and pre-
served in alcohol, Mr.. Mcdonald thinks
it is the only one ever caught.
Some of those who viewed the blue
lobster recalled other queer Holsters that
have been seen in Portland. Not long
ago w. s. Trefeihen had lobster that
was half green and half red. A straight,
perfectly distinct line ran from head to
tail along the back of the crustacean.
Upon one side of the line the color was
vivid green and upon the other a
bright red. The lobster was sent to
Professor Spencer Baird ,and is now in the
Smithsonian. Scientific American.

To even our worst of sorrowsi Bark whose

Dauntlessly voyages to illusions goal
Needless if it be shadow, if rock and shoal
White bird that carollest thine unwearying
Trebles of song, like those by newborn

When war, pest, earthquake riots in bitter

A luminous dream named Immortality,

Blasting Stumps.

The method of blasting stumps by
common blasting powder is to bore a
hole into the stump with an auger two
inches in diameter. This hole is charged
in the usual way and tamped with sand.
leaving space for an iron scusw having
hole through It for the fuse, to be
screwed down on the tamping. The
charge bseaks up the stump, and the
screw is ready for use again. One screw
will last for years. 1t is easily found af-
ter the blast. generally in the hole in the
part of the stump that is split of. New

Without an instant's hesitation my
sister sprang to the "box, whipped up
the slow bulls, drove the few rods to the
bungalow with Miss Blithedale clinging
to her and alternately moaning and
screeching, as we learned in private.
That was five hours before; Miss
Blithedale had absolutely refused to re-
turn with the cowardly native driver
who had arrived before them, and my
sister had laughinglY vowed that, in
that case she would go back alone, ask
ing no better protection than the cherry
parasol.
ssYou have revolutionized the tiger
hunt for the future, Miss Bradford, said
the major, with his eyes full of admira-
ton at the tale which my sister told SO
lightly and laughingly as to rob it of
any trace of egotism. thereafter we
may expect to see long lines OF beaters
file through the jungle armed with red
umbrellas, and flaming cotton stockades
about the villages"
There was some discussion as to the
identity OF this particular beast, but it
was generally allowed to be the same
we had been hunting, if for no other
reason than to turn the joke against our
selves, the empty handed Nimrods.
We started back to town and jokingly
made great show of surrounding the
car as protection on every side.
But il turned out to be no joke. When
halt way back (the major and myself
riding beside the carr there arose af-
frie hted cries ahead, and the leaders OF
the cavalcade came tuinbling back upon
as in the widest fear.
The major and dashed to the front.
There, in the middle of the road, stood
his kingship, glaring at the procession
with blazing eyes.
We flung ourselves from our horses,
unslung our rifles and -- He had been
creeping slowly toward us; now, he
sprang at me just as the majors rifle
cracked.
The bullet could not stop his advance.
I felt a terrific shock as the tiger fell at
my feet with outstretched claws. One
paw dug into my neck as he descended,
aud tore down over my breast deep
through the clothing and into the flesh,
pulling me down with terrific force upon
his own body.
Isprang to my feet and saw that he
lay deadl
The majors shot. true to the mark be-
tween the eyes, had caught him in mid
air.
As he lay there the type of ferocious
beauty and brute power, we all maTveled
that such magnificent beast should have
been frightened off by mere parasol,
even thongh it famed like the fires OF
Etna.
We were met at the edge of the town
by a piece of news that went far to ex-
plain this improbability. He had salts
fed his hunger on low caste Brahmin
only an hour previous to the road side
encounter with the ladies.
The major claimed the skin, and no
one thought of denying it to him. But
he only wanted it to present to Belle, and
as they were married the following year,
he got it back again.
My sister, however, backed by all her
friends, made demand on Miss Bite
dale for the cherry parasol, and she has
it yet, as her peculiar trophy.
Indeed, Miss B. was quite resigned to
parting with it, as she at the same time
procured a substitute in gay scarlet
