CHINESE MARRIAGES
Two Couples United by Judge Smith
at Noon Yesterday

1t was an interested and amused group
that stood in Judge Smiths court at
noon yesterday to witness the ceremony
that bound together for life two pairs
of loving Chinese hearts. 1t all hap
pened just after the noon recess had been
taken. Most everybody in attendance
upon the trial in progress there had de-
parted and Judge Smith was Just pre-
pairing to leave, when four celestials
marched into the court room and asked
to have marriage ceremony performed.
They had complied with lhe law in re-
spect to license and were armed with
the documents. All were dressed in
the height of Chinese fashion, being
logged out in the brightest of silken
garments. The women's hair was neatly
done up and their faces were artistically
painted. Wong Sal Fee and Hung Yet
Tor first walked into the presence of the
judge. They were asked to join their
right hands and to stand up straight.
When this was done the usual questions
were asked of the groom and answered
affirmatively by the nodding of his head.
Wthen it came to the brides turn
hitch occurred. She did not understand
word of English, so an Interpreter had
to be hunted up The ceremony was
then concluded. Both parties went
through the ceremony nobly, but when
it came to the point where the groom
must kiss the bride, Mr.. Fee drew the
line there. He was jocularly informed
by Judge Smith that if he did not COM
ply with the custom he should order one
of the bystanders to do it for him. Even
this had no effect and the celestial stood
inilexible. Fee is 81 years old and Mrs
Fee is Is.
Wong Kim and Chow Fung next step
ped forward and the ceremony was re-
peated. They seemed to enjoy the situ-
alton Immensely, and the bright-eyed
lady glggled in great glee when the last
words had been pronounced. Wong also
refused to kiss his bride, but substituted 4
a handshake. There will be two more
Chinese couples united by Justice
Young today.

Instead Of twenty-five boarders. he
found only thirteen, who paid anywhere
from SIS a month up for their board. He
also found that instead of paying 30
cents for meals, transient customers had
been treated on sort of sliding scale
and were in the habit of paying %, 80 or
so cents, as the case might be.
McNaughton also claimed that lot
of the furniture had been removed, con-
trary to the agreement. Now he wants
to trade back and call quits. The suit
yesterday was to have the contract re-
scinded and to compel the reconveyance
of all the properties. The defendants
deny all these allegations and claim
that If McNaughton did not make
proper investigation before buying the
property it was his own fault, as every
thing was open to inspection. Further
hearing in the case will be continued

punch of vinegar salt and few other
toothsome ingredients, with guileless
looking Strawberries floating about on
the top. A less disappointing article
was produced afterward, however, and
other genuine refreshments were served
at the conclusion of the game. The first

to This City--Notes
A BRANCH TO RANDsBuRe

Hon. c. N. Sterry, solicitor for the At
lantic and Pacific and the Southern Cali
fornia Railway companies, has returned
to this city. after an absence of several
days at Albuquerque, N. NJ, where he
has been looking after SOME important
legal matters He was called upon al his
office in the Bradbury building by a
Herald reporter yesterday afternoon
and asked concerning the affairs of the
Atlantic and Pacific road, and in reply
said:
well, you of course, know that the
road will be sold at auction on May 3
in Gallup to the highest bidder. and no
bid less than SIS, 900, 900 will be enter
tained. The road will be sold to the
Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe COM
pany, and the entire line from Albu-
querque to The Needles will be under
the management of Mr.. w. G. Nevin.
OF course, when the Santa Fe system as
sumes charge of the division between
The Needles and Mojave, now operated
by the Southern Pacific company, that.
too, will be operated by General Man.
ager Nevin. After the new deal is con-
summated the Santa Fe proposes to
make some very extensive improvements
from one end of the line to the other.
THE roadbed will be ballasted and
new bridges constructed. An additional
telegraph line will be put up and sew
eral new depots will be built. particularly
at Winslow. Ariz., and Las Vegas. N.
NJ While in Albuquerque heard some
talk of removing the. general headQuar-
ters of the Atlantic and Pacific to this
city. However as to the correctness of
the report I am unable to say. There
are between fifty and seventy-five en-
ployes In the offices. The purchasers of
the road will, no doubt, spend large
sums of money in improvements and will
bring 1t up to the highest standard"
H. w. Peterson arrived from Santa
Maria last night and was seen at the
Nadeau hotel by a Herald reporter.
Asked as to whas was the prospect for
the completion of the Southern Pacific
coast line between Surf and Ellwood, he
replied
1.-THE people there have been assured
that work will be commenced on the
gap about the 18th of this month, and
that ii will be completed before the end
of the present year. A citizen OF Santa
Maria. who is in close touch with Pres
ident Huntington. received a letter from
the latter a few days ago to this effect,
and added that 1000 men would be put
to work on the line by May l. The
rails, stone and other material have been
ordered several weeks and are expected
inside of ten days" AS remarked by
Mr.. Peterson: This new road will open
some Of the finest country In the world,
and 1t is all that We want to put US 20
