ONANCOCK, VA, January n.-(Spe-
cial)-From time immemorial 1t has been
customary with certain people on the
Eastern Shore to get married on the pub
Lie highway while sitting in buggies. and
not unfrequently with hats and bonnets
ON during the ceremony. To the minds
of refined people, who have a due regard
for the prophecies of life. this is GUS
tom more honored in the breach than the
observance, and from time TO time indi-
vidual ministers have protested against
performing the marriage ceremony in
such an unceremonious fashion. but no
concerted action was taken TO break up
the custom. for the ministers hoped that
IN the course of time it would fall into
'innocuous desuetude." This, however,
has not proved true, and the recent
Christmas season brought an unusual
number Of such marriages. The Baptist
ministers Of Accomac have finally taken
action Ia the matter. At their regular
quarterly meeting, held during the past
week at Modesttown, they unanimously
adopted a resolution condemning the GUS
tom as detracting from the dignity. So
lemnity. and sacredness OF the ceremony
II Is t. be hoped that the commendable
action OF these ministers will put an end
TO this custom. and that hereafter no
marriage notice will have to be recorded

| (Special.)-The third trial OF Charles
Slaughter, the aged negro, charged with
burning the barns and stables of W. Cor
don Merrick, in which a number of yalu-
able horses persisted, was concluded to-
day in the County Court, the jury fixing

was given three years, and at the second
seven years and seven mouths. a motion

Information received to-day as to the
burning OF w. a. Whites storehouse at

Thomas Thompson, the clerk for Mr..
White, was murdered and the store fired
TO conceal the crime. After the fire
Thompson's body was found on the
ground floor. with tn debris piled on
him, and in a part OF the store 30 feet
away from where the house was fired
lie had evidently never lain down. BY
his side was his knife a small amount
OF money, and the store key. The tneo-
ry is that when he went down to lock the
door after young Kemper he was MUIR
