that the person or persons were inside

no'evidence that any of the door or

A TALE IN FIVE ACTS
From Which 1t Looks as IL a Chester Couple
Had Difficulty in Getting Married Here.

Shortly before lU O'CLOCK one even
ing, man who was driving a carriage,
of which the man and woman were
the occupants, asked police officer to
direct him to Catholic church, which
the officer did, telling him where st.
Patrick's was. Then the man wanted
to know where the Hotel Jennings was.
Again the officer directed him. The
stranger said that he and the woman
were from Chester.
ACT II.
A man and woman visited the resi-
denoe of the Rev. NJ. X. Fallon, pastor
of ST. Patrick's Church, and wanted
to be married. 1t was the Same even
ing as that before mentioned Father
Fallon found that the man had no
license and refused to perform tine
ceremony. The priest persisted in his
refusal, despite the importunity of the
man, who threatened to have tho mar
riage performed by "a Protestant.
Father Fallon told the stranger, who
gave his name as George Brennan, that
he would have to get a dispensation
from Bishop Monaghan and could see
him or mis- representative, Vicar General
Lyons, at Sixth and West streets.
ACT III.
Same night, after IL O'Clock; scene !:
residence of Father Lyons, Sixth and
West streets.
A domestic answered a ring at the
bell and saw man and woman there.
The man wanted to sec Vicar General
Lyons, who, when he learned that they
were from Chester, and because Of the
latehess of the hour, declined to come
down stairs. ti ,

The next afternoon
The same man and woman called on
Father Lyons and wanted him to marry
them. He told them that as they were
from Pennsylvania, he had no authority
to do so. Il am a Catholic" said the
man. That did not alter the situation
for Father Lyons; neither did the fact
that the visitor threatened that he
would get Protestant to tie the knot.
ACT v.
The same afternoon. -.
A couple, who said they had driven
from Chester, were united in marriage
by the Rev. Charles A.. Grise, pastor
