NOVEL MARRIAGE THIS.
Alderman Millar Tied the Knot
While Sick in Bed,

Marrying a couple in a balloon may
have its romantic interest, but when
1t comes to the marrying magistrate
lying fiat on his back and uniting two
people we have something rather novel.
This was the condition of affairs
when Alderman Millar yesterday morn
ing made Alexander Beynon and Miss
Elizabeth Hoskins, of Dickson City,
man and wife.
Thursday the alderman was not in
the best Of health. but yesterday
morning he was unable TO leave his
bed. He recovered later in the day
rapidly and will be able to be In his
office this morning. The alderman had
an attack of the grip.
Last week the alderman married
Beynon's brother and it was planned
to have a double wedding. Alexander
Beynon was taken sick and compelled
to postpone his marriage until yester-
day.
In the morning with his bride he
went to the alderman's Office and was
sad when he learned that the Eighth
ward magistrate was sick Beynon and
his bride-to-be went around to the
aldermans residence on Penn avenue.
The alderman was at that time too
i'll to leave his bed, but agreed to do
the best he could under the circum-
stances and so it was that propped
up in bed by pillows he made the
happy pair man and wife.

Reasons for q New Trial.

Reasons for q new trial were filel
yesterday by City Solicitor Vosburg in
the case of Mary Duffln against the
city of Scranton, in which a verdi ct
of $1,000 for the plaintlff was granted
Wednesday. The reasons follow:
First-The verdict was grossly excessive.
SecOnd-1he learned court erred in admitting
evidence Of what was alleged to have been said
by DR.. Roos TO Mary Dutiin
Third-Thc learned court erred In the general
charge, in saying in substance that notice to 4
councilman is notice to the municipality
Fourt-The learned court erred in refusing TO
affirm the first point presented by the defendant.
Fiith-The learned court erred in refusing to
affirm the defendants second point.
SiSth-Thc learned court erred in allowing the
counsel for plaintiff to state to the jury that the
expectancy vi life OF the plaintiff was thirty
eight years, no evidence having been offered upon
that point and objection having been made to this
statement and the calculation based upon it by
plaintiffs counsel at the time it was made.
SevCnth-'The learned court erred in stating 10
the jury in the general charge in substance, that
the plaintiff struck her eye when she fell.
Eghth--The instructions given the jury upon
the question OF damages was inadequate.
NInth-The learned court erred in admitting
the evidence offered by plaintiff to show an al.
legged obstruction, upon the lines OF sidewalk, but
outside Of the travelled way for pedestrians.
The city also suggests the discovery
Of material evidence since the trial
of the case, and asks the privilege of
fling afidavits of the witnesses who
will give such testimony as an addi-
tional reason whay a new trial should
not be granted,
In addition TO the above reasons, af-
| fidavits made by DR.. l.. NJ Gates,
who was for some years the physician
| of Miss Duffin and w. A. Beemer, who
| lived in the same building she occu-
pied, at the corner of Adams avenue
| and Spruce street, We're placed on ille
along with the application for new
| trial.

PRICE OF BEER ADVANCED.
Consumers Will Now Have to Be
Content with Smaller Glasses.

An increased scale of prices has been
arranged by the brewers doing business
in Northeastern Pennsylvania, where
by the handlers of their product will
be required to pay 81 a barrel for beer
and $3.50 for ale. This is noticeable
increase. and in consequence consum-
erS may expect to have the size of
their glasses cut down.
The brewers have issued the follow
ing statement touching on the matter:

materials used in the making OF beer, porter

Objections to the certificates of nomi-
nation of what is known as the Kelly
faction, in the Eighteenth ward. were
filed yesterday by Attorney T. +.
Loughran.
The ward came within an ace of not
having a ticket this year.
The Kelly and O'Boyle factions both
held caucuses and nominated candi-
dates for Judge of election. inspector Of
election and register of voters.
Last Saturday the Kelly faction filed
objections to the certificate of nomi-
nation of the OBoyle faction and on
Wednesday Judge Kelly dismissed these
objections. This left the situation just
as 1t was, that is, there were two sets
of candidates, each purporting to be
the regular Democratic nominees, and
both would have to be left off the Off
cial ballot, as both could not go in the
Democratic column at the same time.
The county commissioners called the
attention of Judge Archibald to the
matter yesterday, as that was the last
day for filing exceptions and on his
suggestion the attorneys of the rival
factions were notified.
AS a result Attorney z. l.. Loughran
last evening filed objections to the
papers of the Kelly faction on behalf
of the O'Boyle faction. They set forth
that the following nominations are ille-
gall Judge of election Michael II.
Nolan; inspector of election, John
Clark; register of voters, Patrick
Duffy.
1t is charged that the nominations
are illegal for the reason that the eau
Gus at which they were nominated
was not regularly called or conducted.
The candidates in whose interests the
objections are filed are: Judge of elec-
ton, James Noon: inspector of elec-
tion, Thomas O'Boye, jr; register Of
voters, Edward Manley.

Spine Dislocated by Fall of Roof.

Martin Marion, of 1910 Meylert ave-
nue., was caught under a fall of roof
in the Manville mine yesterday and
peculiarly injured. One of the ver-
tebrae OF his spinal column was dis

hoff performed an operation on him
ard put it back In place. His chances
OF recovery are quite favorable.

gantic proportions and weighed very
near ton. One corner of the piece
struck him on the back of the neck,
doubling him up and causing a dislo-
cation of the vertebrae. He was re-
moved to the Hahnemann hospital,
where Doctors Berlinghoif and Peck
performed the operation.
