JUST MARRIED!
What do you
THINK OF Us?

II was west side couple, however, who
found il necessary 20 lay elaborate plans
TO defeat the Vaccinations OF particu-
larly bright gang OF ushers bent on max
ing things lively for the newly married.
1t appears that the groom, In his day,
had been particular terror himself 10
those OF his friends who availed them
serves of his services on the OCCASIONS
when they took leave of bachelorhood
and naturally, when IL came his turn, his
ushers planned to give him send OF that
would pay him up for the mischieyous
misery ne had so often made for others.
But the groom had had his experiences
and was not TO be found mapping.
Among the carriages at the curb dur
iau iha-c ceremony was-oLe- -Mhich-the-
ushers were confidentially" informed
by the driver was to carry the bride and
groom away and thereupon the ushers
proceeded to decorate II alter unique
fashion Of their own and had all ready
big bags Of rice and basketfuls of old
shoes to deluge the welded pair immedi-
ately they undertook to get into that
carriage.
But, as suggested above, the groom
had been there himself and was decidedly
fy. That particular hack was only de-
coy. Promptly on appearance OF the
bride and groom the driver jumped down
from his seat and in another moment was
mounted on the box Of another hitch up
standing some little way off. To this
latter bride and groom made their way
and with crack OF the whip were of be-
fore the astonished ushers had recovered
themselves.
But the ushers did not propose to be
outwitted so easily. One of tnem
mounted the box of the deserted car
riage, the Others bundled in with their
h,<r a ri a nd old ghnQQ and off t1a
discounted party started after the flying
herdic that was rapidly bearing away tie
objects of their sportiveness.
10 their disgust, however, the plotters
!, discovered that the carriage that had been
left behind for them was harnessed TO
two plugs that hadn't been able to go
two miles an hour in the last two years,
aud the chase was q short one, for the
hitch-up bearing the bride and groom
was lost TO them down a side street
In no time. The conspirators made
their way to the depot, however, but
they fai ed to find the married couple
there for the latter had driven out to Paw
tucket and taken their train from that
point. Moreover, il the pursuers had not
lost track of the pursued they would have
seen the objects of their conspiracy carried
over Gaspee street crossing and would
have found the gate down to stop their
passage--for that had all been planned,
too.
And that isn't all the story, either, for
II the welded pair hadn't had their
trunks expressed several days before by a
decoy route the baked conspirators might
still have caught them before they had
hardly more than begun the honeymoon,
for these same conspirators are deter
mined lot OF fellows when IL comes TO a
practical joke, and nothing but the most
careful planning on the part of the groom
could have defeated them, although it
might have checked them.

A GOLD BRICK swINDLE.
a Wealthy v. III s,9 ls5osd ~ an Old
Time Swindle.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. l2.-Mrs. Har-
riet Morrison, of jackson, Mich, a
wealthy widow of "A years, accompanied
by Charles Helling, the husband of her
adopted daughter, and DIR. Blanchard,
the family physician, presented them
selves at the United States mint this
morning with two heavy bars Of metal,
which they supposed to be gold, and
worth $50, 900. The men carried the metal,
which weighed eighty-five pounds, in a
grip, and the trio announced that 'they
had gold bullion to sell" The mint
attaches made an assay of the metal and
discovered that the metal was nothing
more than low grade of copper and zinc
and worth but cents per pound. Thir-
teen years ago, Mrs. Morrison advanced
$4,000 to a nephew, and recently a
stranger came to her with the two cupola
shaped bars which, he said, were
mined by her nephew in British
Columbia and were worth $50, 900,
and which the nephew wanted to give
her as security for an additional loan
Mrs. Morrison paid the intermediary
$4,000 and the trio named above started
east to sell the gold" The old lady is
greatly grieVed over the swindle.

GREAT BRITAIN's GALE.
The Damage to Churches a Noticeable
Feature of the Storm.


London, Feb. lathe gale that set in
on Great Britain Saturday night con.
tlnued to gain in violence yesterday, and
in the afternoon the wind was blowing
with hurricane force. Telegraphic COM
munication has been greatly interfered
with, and details of the damage done are
being received very slowly. A peculiar
feature Of the storm is the destruction
wrought among the churches.
At Tiengemouth, in Devonshire q
church In course Of erection was entirely
destroyed.
The spire of ST. Mary's church at
Shrewsbury, County of Salap, was blown
down.
At Peterborough, county Of Northamp-
ton, the pinnacle Of the parish church OF
St. John was blown over, and the glass
roof Of the Great Eastern railway station
destroyed.
The English Presbyterian church at
HolYwell, Flintshire, Wales, was also
among the buildings wrecked. A board
ing school and many dwelling houses in
town were also blown down.
At Newport, in South Wales, roofs
were blown of Of number of houses.
II Is feared that there has been many
wrecks along the coast. Several vessels
have gone ashore off Margate and Rams
gate, Isle Of Thanet, Devonshire.
A dispatch from Grenock states that
the Norwegian barks BERTHE and Tancr ed
have been wrecked there. A quay az
Port Glaguw was carried away. The Brit
ish bark Wilhelm Tell, from Calcutta,
discharging her cargo at the Alexandria
dock at Hull, was sunk by the gale.

PECKHAM's NOMINATION.
The Committee Reports it Without
Recommendation.

Washington, Feb. 12.-In the executive
session of the Senate this afternoon Mr.
Peckham's nomination was reported from
the judiciary committee without recon-
mendation by Senator Pugh, chairman of
the committee. The nomination of Mr.
Peckham was discussed vigorously for
some time in the committee. The votes
against Mr.. Peckham were cast by Sena-
tors Pugh, Hill, Teller, Coke and Wilson
Those for him were cast by Senators
Villas Lindsay, Mitchell, Oregon, Platt
and George Either side could have Sc
cured postpOnement, but Mr. Hill was
satisfied with the report without recon-
dation
Senator Hoar, who was absent, it was
positively stated by one of the commit
tee, would have voted against Mr.. Peck
ham, so that the opponents of Mr.. Peck
ham look upon the result as practically a
rejection. Senator Hill expresses him
self as satisfied with the result, and
believes the nomination will share the
fate of that of Judge Hornblower It is
probable that an executive session to con-
slider the case will be arranged for Thurs

Hinkle case was continued by Judge Fish
