 Married in Presence of a Corpse.
 Standing by the corpse of man who had been murdered, Mir. Louis Dorneck and Miss Margaret Gore were married at Quincy, Fla. A coroner's inquest was being held, when proceedings were interrupted by the entrance of Mir. Dorneck and Miss Gore, who beg ged Coroner Putnam to marry them immediately. The coroner had been showing the jury the wound in the murdered mans breast, and his hands were bloody. He suggested more appropriate place for the ceremony, but Mir. Dorneck ex- plained that Miss Cores father was in pursuit and that delay would be dan- gerous. Accordingly Coroner Pittman hastily said the words that made the couple one. As the groom handed the marriage license to the coroner the blood on the fingers of the latter made stain on the document The bride did not seem affected by the morgue- like surroundings. She is the daugh- ter of wealthy cigar manufacturer and the groom is one of her fathers employees.
