STEUBENvILLE, O., January The Car
rett- Miller case, in which Mrs. joseph
Porter and other children sought TO pre-
vent Mr.. Garrett from marrying MISS
Maud Miller by making application In the
Probate Court to have guardian ap-
pointed for him on the plea that he is an
imbecile and incapable of managing nls
own affairs, came TO q finish wednesday
evening by Mr. Garrett and Miss Miller
being quietly married by Rev. DR.. Led
yard pastor of tie Second Presbyterian
church. Mr.. Garrett took the bit IN MS
mouth and declared that he was determ-
ined to wed the girl, and IL the parties
who were instrumental ia having the ap-
plication made for guardian for him ala
not withdraw ii he would see to IL that
they would never get cent OF his money.
His nerve convinced them that they were
pursuing q wrong course for their own
benefit, and the application was with
drawn. Probate Judge Miller issued the
marriage license and the wedding TOOK
place. and it was right and proper that IL
should. No one who knows John Garrett
could think for q moment that he was
otherwise than sound mentally and July
| capable Of making any contract or mansg-
| ing any affair Of business or other ma
ture that would likely arise de is
genial old gentleman, and is called Uncle
John" by everybody, wnlle the
lady who became his wife is one
of Steubenville's most charming ard
| agreeable ladies and persons who know her
| well scout at the idea of her marrying Mr.
| Garrett because he is the possessor OF
wealth Indeed, the true inwardness OF
| the matter seems 10 DC because he mas oeen
| a friend of the family for years anu sever
| al times has assisted them in most suo-
stantail way. She says herself she married
| him because she liked him and no one
| doubts the truthfulness OF the declaration.
| And the general opinion IS that III was
right and proper that Mr.. Garrett should
| provide himself with a companion Tor MS
| old age who would take care OF him ana
| see TO it that he has all the comforts ne
should have If the possession or money
| obtained such u wife and companion Tor
! him it is all right that it should, Tor It's
blessing that an old man should have. Al
| present Mr. and Mrs. Garrett are at the
| Clarendon Hotel, where be before lived
alone, put they will go to housekeeping In
the near future. They have the we'll
wishes of nine.tenths Of the people OF this
city.
