A wedding ceremony was conducted
recently in the Office of Alderman Will
liam Watson, East street, north side.
at lightning express rate. The high
contracting parties were Harvey Bar
ber, a negro, and Hattie Allen OF the
same race. The event was wholly un-
expected even by the bride, but was
the result of an impulse which struck
the groom as he was in the act OF
delivering a load of coal in the neigh
borhood. Barber, who is teamster,
and his girl had pledged their troth
and gone through all the forms which
1t Is customary to attach to mar
riage engagement. Some days ago the
marriage license was procured, but
the groom wanted to see his way ht-
tie clearer at the financial end before
having the knot tied. Yesterday morn
ing he began the delivery of coal ear
ly. 1t was a good day for business and
he caught onto a few dimes extra. The
sum total of his catch was $1.35. Har-
vey's last job for the day was the de-
livery of a load of coal in the vicinity
of Squire Watson's office. He was
| driving leisurely along East street
when he spied his fiancee gayly trip
ping along the sidewalk. She had
Just stepped out to buy some supper
things" for the lady who employed
her. This is what she told Harvey
when he hailed her with Good ev-
ening, girl; right glad to see you"
Harvey had dollar to spare, and his
maxim through life had been never to
let a good chance go by. He asked
Hattie how much time she had to
spare and was told: Just fifteen min
utes." Just about the same way
here" said Harvey. He then asked
her to go to Squire Watson's office and
have the wedding take place at once.
Miss Allen didn't object. Harvey sang
out, Gee, whoa, hoa," and the team
was up against hitching post. The
horses were tied and then the couple
fairly rushed into the squire's office to
get themselves hitched. Come to get
married, squire" announced the
groom. Here's the license. Please
hurry up. haven't any time to
spare. This girl has to get back to
cook supper, and have coal to leave
right away" The prospective groom,
with coal-begrimed fingers. ished out
ten dimes from his fob pocket, and
laid the money on the counter.
Here is the fee, squire. I didn't ex-
pect this little matter was going to
happen or 1 would have had the coin
all in one piece" he said. Constable
John Homan was impressed as wit
ness. and the twain were made one.
"See you down at the house tomor-
row." was tho groom's parting salute.
