arated-Other Railroad News.

ried at Jefferson, Texas, a few
days ago, were goingt Gal
weston, via the International and
Great Northern, on their bridal
tour, but before they reached their
destination the happy event was
marred by the young couple being
separated from each other.
1t happened in the following
manner: The newly married
couple occupied a Galveston sleep
er, but just before reaching Pales-
tine, the man left his bride to go
into the San Antonio sleeper to
talk with some friends, whom he
had found out were on board.
He was unaware Of the fact, how
ever, that the train for Galveston
out OF Palestine is made up in Pal
estine and that the Galveston
sleeper is taken of at that place
and that the San Antonio sleeper
goes on through to San Antonio.
This was at 10 o'clock at night, and
everything went we'll until the San
Antonio train, which was speeding
for the Alamo City at rate Of forty
miles an hour. had run about
eighty miles out Of Palestine, with
the man on board. The Galveston
train was heading for the Island
City, with the bride on board, at
about the same rate Of speed.
The mans chat with his friends
in the San Antonio sleeper had
ceased about this time, and he
wanted to return to his bride. He
inquired of her Of the conductor,
and when he was informed that
she was on the Galveston train, the
air was rent with blue streaked
language. He cursed railroads and
railroad officials.
He got off at Hearne and took
the Houston and Texas Central, to
meet her at Houston the next
morning.
