FARMER--RoLL
Young Couple Steal "A March on Their
EIders-NO One ngry.

Justice of the Peace Edward Hayes per-
formed the marriage ceremony for a ro-
mantle young couple at his office, No. 427
West. Side avenue, Marion, at eight
O'Clock on Saturday night. Mrs. Carrie
Roll, of No. It's Hopkins avenue, approved
of the attentions which Benjamin Farmer
of No. 1856 Broadway, Marion, was bestow-
ing on her pretty daughter Emma. Emma
was of an age, anyway, to choose for her
self if mamma objected. 1t is said tina
Mr.. William Farmer, father of Benjamin,
also approved of his sons choice.
But in spite of these favorable condi-
tions the young couple determined to
elope, and elope they did, although the
event lacked the excitement of pursuit
by irate parents. Without mentioning
their Intentions to their parents the
couple met quietly at Broadway and West
Side avenue at 1880 O'Clock and proceeded
leisurely to the Justices law dispensary,
where Mr.. Farmer announced the object
of their visit. Justice Hayes, after asking
the necessary questions, expressed his will
lingness to mite the young people.
Obliging Mr.. Smith, who was engaged in
stones during the day, kindly consented
TO forget his grueSone occupation and act
as a witness to the happy event. Ben
jamin and Emma soon became Mr.. and
Mrs. Farmer.
The bride was seen at her mothers
home last evening. She said
I'VE had intended to keep it quiet for
a while until we were ready to go to
house keeping, but now that it has leaked
out. you might as well now all about it.
Yes, we were married, and l told mamma
all about it today and she is pleased. She
likes Ben almost as much as | do. Ben
is satisfied and SO am 1; hat is all there
is to it"

Smoking cars may Be seen on the lines

had such a plan under consideration for
some time. If it shall be decided to try
smoking cars, the new vehicles will be
used first on the through lines. General
Manager David Young said to a News"
reporter today
II went West some time ago to inspect
smoking cars in use in some of the cities
out there. l was impressed by what [
saw, and it may be that the company will
adopt the innovation. The cars will be
about thirty-two feet long with a com
partment twenty-five feet long in front
for general use and a space of ten feet in
the rear for the smokers. The front door
will admit to the front compartment and
the rear to the smoking section.
1.-THE change would involve the stopping
of ears at the near instead of the far
crossing. One conductor would be able to
attend to each car. The matter will
probably be finally decided in q month or
so.

CONTRACTOR AT FAULT.
Wayne Street Improvement
Neglected Contractor
Byrne Must Finish 1t.

A proof tina the new Chief Engineer,
Mr.. l.. D.. Fowler. was right in asking
that the records of public work should
be made and kept in his bureau, cropped
out this morning. Mayor Hoos received
a communication, signed by a large mum
Der of citizens. living on Wayne street,
asking why the cutting through and OPEN
ing Of the upper part of Wayne street
has not been carried out.
In investigating the complaint it was
discovered tina Contractor Henry Byrne
was the sinner. On May Is, 1896, he
was awarded the contract for that very
Improvement. The. contract was number
ed ST., and Mr.. Byrne was allowed four
months in which to complete the work.
Fourteen months have fled by and yet
the work on the contract is just as it
was when Henry Byrne accepted it. No
one of the city officials at that time
thought it their business to make Byrne
do the work he promised to do, and he,
of course, obeyed the maxim adopted by
some, Never do anything unless you are
compelled to do it,"
When Mayor Hoos Heard of this, this
morning, he went over to the Street and
water Board ONCE, ana lneTe NStu q
conference with President Boltwood and
Commissioner Nolan. The interview was
evidently highly satisfactory and pleas
ant and strangely different from the last
meeting with these gentlemen, and the
reason of this was told by Mr.. Boltwood.
1t is fair and only just and proper to
say that the present Board were awa
Of the contract until quite recently.
'sWesknew nothing about It" said Presi-
dent Boltwood. to a News reporter; lit
was made before our time and when the
records are so incomplete it is not sur
prising that this has been overlooked.
Henry Byrne, l find out, had an agree
ment with our predecessors to take out
all the rock he pleased for crushing into
stone; but he was to pay the city fifty
cents per cubic yard for e~xcavating. He
hasn't paid a cent and we are going TO
see that he does
In connection with this, it is well to
remember that the city, should Byrne not
have taken out the stone, would have
TO do so, n it would cost more than
allowing the contractor to do it. But
aside from that matter President Bolt
wood does not propose to allow Contrac-
tor Byrne or any other contractor to
crawl out of his contract, and today
