The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-02-28

A double jointed marriage was per-
formed Monday afternoon by Rev. W.
II. Pearce. The clerk Of the courts,
the contracting parties and the rev.
erend gentleman were all mixed up in
1t, although investigation shows that
no blame should be attached to the
minister or to the lady.

things as usual to give to the world this
new kind Of marriage.
WHO MADE THE MISTAKE
1t all happened through misunder-
standing of names between the pros
pective husband and John II. Thomas,
clerk of the court, who issued the IL
cense. After the marriage ritual had
been gone through With, Dr. Pearcs
found he had been addressing his re-
marks to a mythical person, the pros
pective wife became nervous, q new
license was Immediately procured and
finally everything ended happily. This
ID how it all happened:
Warner NJ. Craine and Martha N
Baldwin, both of Fulton, Osweoo
county, N. Y, applied to Mr.. Thomas
for a marriage license. They secured
the certificate and repaired to the resi-
dence Of Rev. w. II. Pearce, of tie
Elm Park Methodist church, to Re
made one Mr.. Pearces family gath
cred about, witnessing what they sup
posed to DO marriage and everything
went swimmingly until the minister
extended his hand to Mr.. Crains and
said, Accept my hearty congratula-
tions and well wishes Mr. Miller"

Welded THE WRONG MAN
"Very unfortunate, my dear madam"
said Mr., Pearce, "bu:, um-er-that ia,
it seems | have welded you to the
wrong man."
Smelling salts might have been
needed bnt for hasty explanation by
Mr.. Pearce. Someone had mixed
names in making out the lic.nse csrti-
ficate, and Mr. Crnine's name appeared

while all right in the spirit, was far
from correct in the eyes of the law.
Something must be done and at once
to straighten matters.
the couple hastily returned to the
court house, where tho mistake was
rectified by Mr.. Thomas. They then
made second visit to the parsonage
and were made one.
The bride is A years old and was a
widow; the groom is two years her
junior He obtained divorce from
mis- first wife in January, 1892 and the
wedding in this state was necessitated
by its illsgality in New York.

pose OF getting something better. The
result was unconditional repeal, and
the country is to be congratulated
that no other makeshift took its place.
1t left the sky clear for square issue,
which is now on, between the gold
monometallists and those in favor of a
bi-metallic standard.
The repeal of the Sherman law was
good thing for the cause of free coin
age OF silver. Its repeal divests the
tree coinage question of the charge,
constantly made by the East, that the
silver legislation was for the purpose
OF bolstering up the price of silver for
the benefit of a few silver mine opera-
tors-a charge which was not wholly
devoid of truth.
Sentiment in favor of bi-metallism is
growing now, in the East and South as
we'll as the West, and it is no longer
looked upon as a selfish matter con-
corning the silver producing states,
but a principle of national and inter-
national Importance

religious and benevolent institutions of
this state, to take immediate action
towards securing contributions for the
relief Of the prevailing distress.
l hereby appoint the following state

ALONG THE SOUTH SHORE ROAD.

One Hundred and Fifty Million Feet of
Lumber Destroyed.
MARQUETTE, Mich, Sept. 5.-The
South Shore road got it's Saturday night
train through from Duluth during the
morning, IA hours late. Trains are 60
ing around by Ashland and Saxony on
account Of the burned trestles at Bibon
and Marengo. Reports from all towns
along the South Shore to the Wisconsin
state line say that they are all safe,
though there are literally hundreds of
fires in the vast belt of timber.
The dense pail of smoke which has
overhung the city for two days has
largely disappeared before brisk south
wind. There have been no great calam-
tiles in the region, but scores, if not
hundreds, Of homesteaders have lost all
they possessed, and the
Damage to Timber Has Been Enormous.
Competent and conservative men esti-
mate the standing pine over which the
fire has run at not less than 10000 900
feet. Of this about two-thirds be.
longed to the Diamond Match company
and about one-sixth to the Nestor es-
tate. This timber is not all destroyed,
but the rest will have to be cut this year
to save it from worms This fact has
already operated to raise wages of ex-
perienced loggers about one-fourth, and
will make this season very active one
| in the woods.
Advices just received from Nestoria
report heavy rains there and westward.
This will materially check the forest
fires and i'll general put the whole dis
trict out of danger.

Congressman Bryan, of Nebraska, is
now editor Of the Omaha World Herald.
The general impression is that the pa

supposed to be his plan to unite the
Democrats and Populists on himself for
United States senator.

chicago OnhclalS Much Worried Over the
Outlook.
CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Reports from the
forest fires as they came into the
Northwestern and Wisconsin Central
railway headquarters We're meager, but
showed fearful loss of life and destruc-
ton of property. The Northwestern
received word at 10 o'clock that heav-
lily loaded freight train had been aban-
doned on a burning bridge, but that the
crew had escaped The Wisconsin Cen
trail service was badly demoralized and
none of the reports received gave any
definite information regarding the loss
of life.
The superintendent of the Ashland
division Of the Northwestern wired that
the fires We're smouldering, but would
probably die out if no wind arose. A
high wind, he said,
Would Result in Fearful Havoc.
Wisconsin Central railway officials were
unable to get satisfactory reports from
the burnt district. The train service
was demoralized and telegraph wires
were down OF working badly. Agents
at various points reported heavy loss of
life and property but We're unable to
give figures OF estimates. The reports
showed that the fires We're smouldering
and grave fears We're expressed that
fearful damage would ensue if the re.
gion should be visited by high wind.
The rain, the reports said, was not
heavy enough to extinguish the flames
which might break out at any time.

POSITIVE FACTS BEGIN TO APPEAR
Fear, Confusion, and Excitement Are
Passing Away at Hinckley.

PINE C1rY, Mimi, Sept. 5.-Excite-
ment, fear and confusion caused by the
calamity at Hinckley have almost dis.
appeared and positive facts about the
living and dead begin to appear.
There were 1000 people in Hinckley;
400 survivors have been brought to Pine
City, $50 taken to Duluth and Superior,
and $50 are dead.
The railroad companies brought out
most Of the survivors.
At Sandstone $50 people are entirely
destitute.
At Brook Park, seven miles east of
Hinckley, there are 1876 people in need
of immediate help.
People have been freely provided
with food, but the destitution is so
great that provisions, clothing and
building material must be given in large
quantities for some time to come.
People Lost Reason and stampeded.
Rev. P. Knudson, the Presbyterian
minister at Hinckley, was one of the
fortunate people who sought the gravel
pit at Hinckley. He said that over 200
of those who were burned would have
been rescued had they needed advice
and kept away from the river.
'"The fact is," he said, "they lost
their reason and stampeded like lot of
frightened cattle, headlong to destruc-
ticn. Some tried to escape by teams,
and they were found dead in heap
afterwards"
The track of the fire cyclone is about
six miles wide and extends from Mis-.
sion Creek to Hinckley and beyond.
Many of the dead are now under
ground, buried in the dreary cemetery
mile away, but at one time there were
over 80 bodies in the heap, some of
them in the most shocking condition.
The Calamity Has Had But One Equal.
The situation all along the line has
never had but one equal, and that. was
the Johnstown flood, which, however,
lacked the extent and some of the
phases Of horror. Families are not
only homeless, but the land is in no
condition to be utilized. the season is so
far advanced. The little stores of every
kind, together with clothing and the
bare necessities, have been swept away
by the devouring element
Never was devastation more perfect
never was there more golden oppor
tunity for the display of that brotherly
| and sisterly kindness, which is the
truest expression of Christianity
Hospitals at Pine City.
The skating rink has been set aside
for the hospital use Of those who were
burned slightly, while Pythian hall has
been devoted to the use of those who
are in the worst shape.
| All these unfortunates are being ten
derly cared for to the best of the ability
of those in attendance, but the number
is small and the demands are great. L
is not expected THAT deaths will ensue
although there are two or three extrem,
cases. The main trouble is with th'
eyes, which, in almost every case, wer'
seriously damaged by smoke and heat
The latest investigation at Sandstone
Junction brought the list of dead up t.
81, and 21 missing.
The list of dead at all points is in
creasing.
