VIII Branch Out.

Findlay, Nov. 9o.-John Jacob Astor
and other directors of the Findlay,
Ft. Wayne &c Western Railway Co held
a meeting here yesterday. The object
was to plan for the extension of this
line eastward and westward. When
this is accomplished the road will be-
come great trunk railroad, over
whose tracks will pass large portion
of the products of the great west on
their way to the seaboard.
1t is believed that the road will be-
come the the eastern outlet for the
Illinois Central railroad. A survey
has been made of line from Fort
Wayne to Kankakee, Ill, where the
road makes connection with the Illi-
nois Central.
From Findlay eastward a survey has
been made to Lester Junction, o.,
where connections will be made for
Cleveland over the Cleveland, Lorain
81 Wheeling, and also for eastern
trunk lines. From one terminus to the
other the line will be almost straight
and the grade will be confined to Is
feet to the mile. Work has been COM
menced on the survey for line from
Lester Junction to New Castle, Pa.

THE MINISTER'S STORY.
He Takes Perilous Ride and the Groom
Shows Appreciation.

Shows Appreciation.
Rev DIR. Britt of Omaha, who off
ciates as editor of The Veteran, dearly
loves good story and can tell one as
well as listen TO enc. DR.. Britt was for
years a leading minister in the Metho-
dist church, but resigned on account of
i'll health. He served in the Union ar
my for four years and earned the right
to wear badge of the Grand Army of
the Republic, and his service in the ar
my makes him peculiarly fitted for his
position of editor of the Grand Army
organ Of the department of Nebraska.
A few days ago DIR. Britt was telling
of one of his ministerial experiences. 1t
occurred years ago in Illinois
On the coolest night in the winter of
1878 DIR. Britt retired to bed in we'll
warmed bedchamber and prepared to
sleep the sleep of the just. Just as he
was dreaming of a donation party that
did not eat more than it left he was
aroused by knock at the front door.
When he answered the knock, a man
stepped into the room and shook the
snow from his coat
81 want you TO go out near Motifs
schoolhouse and marry couple" said
the stranger.
Motifs schoolhouse was nine miles
from town, and Dr. Britt naturally OBJ
jected TO travelling that distance through
a blizzard.

ried the doctor.
at can't be did, parson," said the
stranger. "The man has got to start for
South America in the morning an
wants to take wife with him. His
girl has steadily refused him up till
three hours ago, an as he's got to start
tomorrow he wants to marry her an
take her along"
DIR. Britt had been married just long
enough to appreciate the situation, and
finally consented to 60. He wrapped
himself up as warmly as possible and
took his place on the spring seat of the
lumber wagon that was to convey him
to the bridal scene It was the coolest
ride he had ever experienced and re-
minded him of that icy night before the
Sunday that Donelson surrendered. But
the home Of the bride to be was finally
reached. A few neighbors were gather
ed, and as soon as the preacher was
thawed out he performed the marriage
ceremony.
The next morning the bride and
groom started for South America and
rode to the railroad station in lumber
wagon with DIR. Britt. The doctor went
to the station with them, and just be-
fore the train departed the groom called
him to one side and thrust sealed en-
velope into his hand.
DIR. Britt thrust the envelope into his
pocket and FASTENED home. Calling
Mrs. Britt into his study, he opened
the envelope to gaze upon his fee.
The envelope contained a 81 bill and
q 90 cent shinplaster. -Omaha World
