Won keipbusch.

Won ntlpDusch.
CINCINNATI, July 24.--A sick room
suddenly converted into bridal cham
ber, then abruptly into scene o. excite
ment, followed by the departure OF the
bride for the east, accompanied by her
brother, Baron Won Keinbusch, briefly
outlines the real facts of the marriage of
Major II. p. Lloyd. Law partner of Major
Ben Butterworth, to the Baroness Won
Keinbusch, yesterday.
The affair wds extremely dramatic and
sensational and, although many facts
came to the surface, it is still mysterious.
The prominence of the parties makes it
all tie more startling. No smile came
from the bride, and no kiss was i'm
printed on her lips by the groom either
before, during or after the event. The
groom did not even open his eyes while
the clergyman was performing the GER
emony, but lay PROSTATE, with his head
turned away and buried in the pillow
while his daughter leaned over his form
and famed his pale face.
There were but few spectators, and
while none were enjoined to secrecy, it
was the understanding that the details
of the affair he left to Major Lloyd to re-
late. One of the spectators said. how.
ever, that the wedding bristled with
enough sensational points to furnish the
basis of highly interesting novel. Ex-
cepting the prostrated groom. suppressed
excitement was plainly visible on the
faces of every actor present including
the baron, lawyers, doctor, bride and
spectators, who were members of the i'm
| mediate families represented.
Preceding tho ceremony Baron Won
| keinbusch and his lawyer. together
with an attorney representing Major
| Lloyd, made frequent excursions into a
small side room. where they wrangled
over certain legal documents which they
were apparently drawing up. Finally.
| the Baron, red with excitement, came
striding into the room and exclaimed in
low, suppressed voice: "If Lloyd were
half the man am, my trip here would
not have been necessary"
Then the Baron bolted from the apart
ment and called to Rev. Johnston Ny
ers to enter the sick chamber of Major
Lloyd to perform the marriage cere-
mony. just then Baron Won Keinbusch
entered the bedroom. followed by his
sister, Anna.

exclaimed, leading her to point about
two feet distant from the MAJORS head,
and in the meantime Major Lloyd closed
his eyes and his daughter averted her

ing the ceremony, nor did the major
open his eyes until she had silently quit
the apartment.
After the ceremony, by request Of the
Baron, the prayer which solemnizes the
marriage of Christian people was omitted
