Enough to he Her Grandson.

The people OF Summit. n. j., were astonished
when they learned yesterday that Mrs. Sarah j.
Parmenter. widow of Isaac c. Parmenter, had

o'clock Sunday afternoon. The groom is PA

usually occupied the seat beside Kelloway.
Previous to Mr.. Parnentcrs death the coach
man ate his meals in the Kitchen but FOR n long
time since the widow and her employee dined
together.
The couple werc so attentive to each other
during the past year that much gossip was
caused, and many of Mrs. Parmenter's acquaint-
nnces treated her coldly. Her sister and other
relatives. it is said were strongly opposed TO her
marriage.
Mr. Parmenter. at the time of his death. WAS
worth $4,000. and IL is understood that tho
widow received the income from that amount,
besides the handsome residence she occupies in
East summit. II was said yesterday hy one OF
Mrs. Parmenter's former intimate friends that
there was proviso In the will which would ma
terially lessen her income because of Sundays

The ceremony was witnessed by some relatives
OF the groom, but none OF the brides friends was
