Howard o. Moore, who Is languishing
In Jail awaiting hearing on the charge Of
rape, will In all probability not be tried at
this term Of Court. The only witness that
the state expected to go to trial with this
week has disappeared, She Is Lottie Moore,
q daughter Of the nccused man. She went
to bed at her mothers home Sunday night
but was no where to DO found yesterday
morning.
The police knowns nothing of her where
abouts. Moore Is accused of feloniously
assaulting his 12 year. old daughter, Viola,
who was taken out of the city over week
ago and has not since been heard Of.
Lottie was witness against her father
and relatives knowing conviction meant
death have evidently offered her reward to
leave also. No one saw her leave the house
nor has she since been seen in the city.
Deputy Attorney General Is greatly agi.

SOME QUEER WEDDINGS.

The courts have held that no particular
ceremony IL necessary to render mar
riags valid. In New York and several 9th.
or states the mere assumption Of marital
relations constitutes marriage under the
common law. In Medina, O., an old
Methodist minister who has won more
than local reputation for his wedding
ceremonies invariably inquiries Of the con-
tracing parties, after satisfying himself Of
the legal qualifications. "Do you two de-
sire to become oneP' An affirmative an
swer brings the concluding words Of the
ceremony, "Then you are one. F"
On tho other hand, sometimes rural
minister who regards his position as one
of the greatest solemnity and Importance
will introduce 80 much flowery rhetoric
an extra pull at the groom's purse strings.
In Madison, Ga, an official who has won
q great reputation for marrying negro
couples invariably uses this formula:
"Stand up, you poor miserable sinnersl"
he says. "By tho authority vested In me
as IN officer Of the state Of Georgia, which
is sometimes called the Empipy State of thu
South; by the fields of cotton that spread
in snowy wilderness around us; by the
howl of the coon dog and the gourd vine
whose clinging tendrils will shade the en-.
trance to your humble dwelling place; by
the red and luscious heart of the wa termcl.

Joy; by the toothsome sweet potato and
tho juicy possum; by the heavens and tho
earth in the presence of these witnesses, I
pronounce you man and wifel"
In Jacksonville, Ind, awhile ago an
old justice of the peace who was frequently
called upon by clipping couples from across
the Kentucky state line devised n wedding
service which was simplicity itself. Ho
