MARRIAGE RECORD IN A HAT.
Written on the Lining, 1t Secured a Life
Insurance.
From The Philadelphia Times. }

(From The Philadelphia Times.
On the night of the Presidential cleo
ton in 1884, Alderman J. f. Donohue
was hastily summoned to hotel in
Wilkesbarre to marry George W. Bounds
and Mary Ann Rogers. The ceremony
had to be performed quickly, as the
couple wanted to take train for the
West. The Squire was equal to the ocoas
Ion, and In few minutes the young peo-
pie were made man and wife. The JUS
lice made memorandum Of the marriage
IN the silk lining of his high silk hat.
That was the last he thought of the
matter until year ago, when Mrs.
Bounds wrote to him from some poi t In
New Mexico that her husband had been
killed in railroad wreck; that he was
Insured for So, $780, and that the assooia-
lion refused to pay unless she could pro-
luce her marriage certificate. The widow
wanted to know If the Wilkesoarre Jus
lice could not furnish her with copy of
her marriage certificate. Twelve years
had then elapsed, and Alderman Donohue
had no recollection of performing any
Iuch ceremony, and, furthermore, a
Iearch of his records failed to find any
recount of it. Then the widow i came
East to see if the Alderman could not
IDENTIFY her. He could not, and was as
much at sea as ever. Mrs. Bounds re-
burned to her Western home much dis
1eartened. 80 iAsf
About two months ago Mrs. Doohue,
The wife of the alderman, was cleaning
her house, when she ran across number
of old hats, among them the one which
her husband wore on the night Of the
election in 1884. The Squire is Deomo-
crat, and in celebrating Cleyeland's first
victory his high silk hat was badly dam
aged. 1t was sent home for repairs and
placed in closet, where Mrs. Donohue
found it. Mrs. Donohue observed that
there was some writing in the lining.
She called her husband, and then all was
plain to him. about the marriage at the
hotel He made out a marriage certificate
from the memorandum and forwarded it,
together with the dilapidated old hat, to
Mrs. Bounds in New Mexico.
Thursday Alderman Donohue received
letter from the widow, saying the GER
tiff cate and hat had been received that
they established her claim as the lawful
wife of George W. Bounds, and that she
lad received the insurance money.
