Mrs. Annie Leger of Chicago. He be-
came infatuated with the picture and
wrote 10 the lady asking her if she
would not send him her Photograph.
She. after some hesitancy. consented
ana III short while he sent his in re-
turn. a correspondence then sprung up
between them. Finally MIR. Benson
proposed. lie received Il letter from
Mrs. Legcr saying that she had re-
ceived many offers similar to his. but
there was something IS letter that
She admired. ana after mature
consideration, she y ,luded to ac-
cept him. The time ct and Rich
mond was the appoint. riace of meet
ing and Sunday last MAS the time.
On Friday night Mr.. Benson left here
for Richmond. Saturday morning his
aiiianced arrived. When he first saw
her she was leaning out the window
and he at once recognized her. They
met ana at once procured Il license and
on Sunday We're made man and wife by
n minister who is pastor of church
on reservoir avenue. They at once
proceeded TO their home in this city.
The strangest part of all is that Mr..

living in Richmond. The other Is with
