Mcdowell county, w. Va, said a we'll

writer.
Everything went along smoothly at
first, the cabin was brilliantly lighted
with candles and one of the best fddlers
in the county was present to furnish
music for the dance to follow the we'd
ding ceremony. Nothing occurred to
1aar the proceedings until the minister
came to the point where he invited any
enc who had anything TO say why the
couple should not enter the bonds of
natrimony TO speak or thereafter hold
mis- peace, when rough-loolling noun
taineer arose and said:
Anything ter say, parson? Wall, I

In vain the preacher tried to restore
order. \ ring was soon squared in the
center of the room and the men went at
it. In about ten minutes the groom
announced that he had enough and the
victor, taking the arm of the blushing
bride, deliberately changed the grooms
name IN the marriage license to his own.

Miss Lawrence, besides being. per-
laps. the most prominent character in
the play. was also the stage-manager,
and II was she who regulated the sal
aries of the actors.
Mr.. Addison. one of the actors, had
long contended that his salary was not
one-haif what it ought TO be. and Miss
Lawrence declared as firmly that the
salary would remain unchanged.
Finally, Addison worked out a sub
plot in the play. In one act he. the
noble hero, carried Miss Lawrence from
a top story 10 the ground, down q
ladder. One night when this scene
came on he stepped upon the top round
OF the ladder, as usual. holding in his
arms his fair burden. But instead of
coming down quickly. as a vigorous. in
Hipcible hero should. he stopped.
Now. raise my salary. he WHISPERED

grant a release for liability for injury

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Senate yesterday gave most of the day
to the agricultural appropriation bill, ard
passed that measure, carrying 1852, 600
without material amendment. Another bill
passed during the day changes the limitations
of fourth class mail matter 80 as to free the
post service from bulky articles heretofore
sent free by the government departments Mr.
Wolcott, in urging the bill, ssid roller top
desks ana electric motors were among the ar
tcles sent rs msil by the department. Later
in the day word came from the House that the
error concerning the Cuban resolutions had
been corrected. 1u its corrected form the
House resolution is an amendment to that
passed by the Senate. As thus reported bsck,
the subject was referred to the committee on
foreign relstions, Mr.. Sherman stating that
the committee would consider the question at
the meeting to day. Senator Frye introduced
a bill in the Senate granting pension Of $50
per month to ex-soldiers who are incapacitat-
ed from labor by the loss OF the use of lung.
The House spest the entire day in debating
the amendment to the legislative appropria-
ton bill to abolish the fee system in the cases
OF United States district attorneys and mar.
shals. The salaries fixed by the amendment
range from $1,000 to $1,000. The. amend.
ment was endorsed by almest every member
of the judiciary committee. 1t was argued the
amendment would reduce the expenses OF
United States courts, which have doubled
since 1873, at least 100000 for the first
year and result in stopping the pernicious
padding Of the business of the federal courts.
The debate will be Continued to-day under
the five-minute rule.
