One of our young men started out

the sleigh ride.
Mr.. Moses Mckenzie was caller

An Aged Bridegroom

On Thursday evening Mr.. Amos
Broadwater, of Garrett county, was
married in Frostburg to Mrs. Eliza
Warwick. The wedding was a quiet
one, and was attended only by the
friends and relatives of the con-
tracing parties.
The groom was attired in a full
suit of black, and the bride wore
very becoming gown of some dark
material. Mr.. Broadwater, the
groom, is widower in his ninety
third year, and the bride is widow
in her fifty-frst year.
The groom seemed to be in per-
feet health and received the con-
gratulations of his friends with the
old time Maryland courtesy.
His bride was equally as pleasant,
and from all appearances a more
congenial couple could not be found
any where in the country. Mr..
Broadwater is beyond a doubt the
oldest man that has ever applied
for a marriage license in this State;
and perhaps in the United States
there could not be found one as old
or older, who desired to, and did
ever wed at his time of life.
Representative of the New York
Herald caught the story of the
wedding and came on to report it.
He SAID that IN New York for the
past one hundred years no man has
taken out license over the age Of
eighty-six years. Mr.. Broadwatel
has twelve children living and
ninety grand and great-grand chill
dren. They all live within a days
horseback ride from one another
and all of them were born and have
lived in the Glades ever since theil
birth.

A Romance Ends Disastrously.


Sometime during the month of
August Henry A. Floto, of Bellaire,
Ohio, accompanied by a young man
named Ray Young and young
lady named Pearl Wilson, aged
respectively eighteen and sixteen
years, who reside in Wheeling, W.
Va, and who seemed to be very
much in love with one another,
came to Oakland to be married.
Finding that the young people
could not get a license to we'd,
Floto impersonated Ray Young
and procured marriage license
from Clerk Tower. He swore that
his name was Young and that he
was forty years of age. After pro-
curing the license he handed it over
to the young people, who were soon
made happy by being joined to-
gether as man and wife by minis
ter from the adjoining county of
Preston in West Virginia. When
the young couple went home the
mother of the groom became very
indignant and Immediately commu-
nicated with the officers here, who,
when she had acquainted herself
with the facts, swore out warrant
against Floto charging him with
perjury. He was brought to Oak
land few days ago and examined
before justice of the peace. He
admitted the charge and his excuse
was that he wanted to see the girl
protected. Floto is now confined
in jail and will be tried at the
March term of the Circuit Court.

A CurHperland Couple Divorced After
Fo4r Months of Welded Life.
1T I'll be remembered by readers
Of The Neacs that several months ago
there appeared in these columns a
noticoof the marriage of William
Pearre and Mrs. Zelma L. Robinson
in New York city on the 9Th of
September, 1894. Both parties are
we'll known residents Of this city.
Shortly after their return to this
city Mr.. Pearre disappeared, and
some time afterwards Mrs. Pearre
made application for a divorce, no
tice Q (which appeared IN the adver-
Using pq qS Of the Neoy. It
vas aas asaf aql5fesl7ards That negotia-
tions Nwere pending for dissolu-
ton of the marriage during
the absence Of the husband,
and it was a matter of public
rumor that offers of money had
been made to Mrs. Pearre to with
draw her petition, and allow Mr..
Pearre to have the divorce granted
him.
Some three or four weeks ago
Mr.. Pearre returned, and shortly
afterwards filed an application for
divorce, alleging that fraud and
force had been resorted to in order
to compel him to consent to the
marriage. rs a part of the petition
it was alleged that Mrs. Pearre had
voluntarily signed an agreement to
consent to divorce in one month
after the marriage had been con-
summated; that she had threatened
to enact tragedy that would either
terminate in his death or hers in
the event of his persistence in re-
fusing to make her his wife; that
she piled him with liquor until he
became in degree irresponsible for
his acts, and it was under these
circumstances that the marriage
ceremony was performed in New
York. 1t was also alleged in the
petition that an unlawful intimacy
bad eyisted between the parties for
some time previous to the marriage.
Mrs. Pearre filed answer gener-
ally denying the allegations of the
petition of her husband for divorce,
but it was subsequently withdrawn,
and its contents are not positively
known.
In effect the application of Mr.
Pearre for divorce was not con.
tested, and on the 10th of January
the court passed decree granting
the petitioner an absolute divorce
upon the ground of fraud and force
On the 10Th the decree was filed
and thus social sensation in the
annals of Cumberland reached its
last chapter. -Cumberland News

At a recent business convention
Governor Francis, of Missouri, who
is in a position to know whereof he

"Each year the local paper gives
from $500 to85000In free lines to the
community in which it is located.
No other agency can or will do this.
The editor, in proportion to his
means, does more for his town than
any other ten men, and in all fair

or admire his writings, but because
the local paper IS the best invest

The report OF the Board OF Visitors
for the second year ending Novem
Der 1894 is as follows.
From January /, 1894, to Deem
her 5. the date Of the annual meet
ing, the Board Of Visitors Of Sunset
Home held 16 meetings, II regular
and 4 called, with an average at
tendance of 5R There have been 10
applicants for admission, seven OF
whom were non.residcnts; the re-
naming three, St. Johnsbury ladies,
were admitted. Mrs, Rhoda d.
Bckford, who was voted in last year,
entered the Home January IS, 1894;
Mrs. George Barney, August Is;
Mrs. George Adr,ch, September 10;
Mrs. Jane S. Huntly, former resi-
dent OF this town, will come as early
in the spring as a room can be pre-
pared for her. Mrs. Arvilla M. Will
Iiams was a guest of the Home from
November IS 1898, to February 81,
1894. During the summer Miss An
nette Dutton, an aged women for
merry of St. Johnsbury, was received
~ boarder.
When the Home was opened some
OF our physicians kindly signihed
their readiness to give their services
il called upon. This has been done
in several cases, and the courtesy is
most gratefully acknowledged. The
only means taken to raise money
last year was the dinner OF March
10, which put $3.50 into the treasury.
No entertainment will be given this
winter but the village will be can
vassed for new patrons. Perhaps |
those who would be patrons OF an
entertainment would enter their
names on our list OF pledged patrons.
The past year was one Of general
health, happiness and prosperity in
the Home. The generosity of the
community and the Willingness OF |
the ladies Of the family to be pleased,
have made it much easier to care for
the Home than we had any right to
expect.
