TROUBLE AT A WEDDING.

An Assyrian wedding was conducted
In Hennessy court, Monday, and dur
ing the celebration several children be-
came involved in quarrel Mrs.
Martha Scoff. Of 919 Scranton street,
tried to act as peacemaker, but Ferris
Fikany wouldn't stand for that and
proceeded to take a hand in the mix
up by abusing Mrs. Scoff.
He even went so far as to commit an
assault upon the woman and tore her
clothing. A warrant was issued by AL
derman John for Fikany's arrest, and
Abraham Corey, a step-brother of the
defendant, also cut some figure in the
argument.
The case was finally settled by FL
kany paying the costs and compensat-
ing Mrs. Scoff for the damage done to
her wearing apparel. The charges
against Corey were withdrawn.

Every child attending school in the
city will take the trouble today to
gather up around their respective
homes all the old rubbers that have
been cast aside, and tomorrow bring
them to school, where they will be de-
posted and later called for by deliv-
cry wagons. The purpose Of the
scheme is to aid the Home for the
Friendless in a financial way, the rub

as he knew his wife never intended to
end her life, and merely drank the
laudanum to produce sleep and ease
the pain. They We're married one year
ago today, and expected to celebrate
the event with a social gathering, pro-
Niding her Illness would permit of such
an event.
