an inquest in the court house last
night in the case of Anthony Puntical,
of Brook street, who on last Wednes-
day evening was killed by one of the
Scranton Railway company's trolley
cars in this city,
The evidence given last night showed
that the man got off the front of the
car While it was in motion without
having made any request to have the
car stopped; that he tried to get off
backwards and was thrown to the
ground against the rail, the trucks of
the car crushing his life out. All of
the evidence went to show that the car
was moving at low rate of speed at

JACK DELAYED ceremony
For a Time He Prevented the Mar
riage of Edward 8. Smith and
Miss Jones.

IT forbid the banns" shouted Con-
stable Jack" Tierney. with melo-
dramatic flourish. as he burst into
Magistrate Millar's private office yes
terday afternoon, just as the latter was
about to marry Edward S. Smith to
Miss Mary Harriet Jones. 1.-THE girl is
under twenty-one years of age. and she
swears falsely when she says she is
older" he continued.
The young lady in the case, who is
the daughter of Edwin S. Jones, Of
Cedar avenue, has, it seems, been long
desirous of wedding young Smith,
against her parents wishes. She left
home yesterday morning. saying she
was going to be married, and her
brother and sister started out immedi-
ately afterwards to prevent if possible,
the ceremony.
They visited Magistrate Millar's office
and told him not to marry the couple,
as their sister was under twenty one
years of age. The magistrate secured
a description of the pair, and when
they presented themselves in his office
in the afternoon he recognized them at
once. lie had the young woman swear
to an affidavit setting forth that she
was twenty -One years old. and then. to
relieve himself of any responsibility in
the case. he decided not to perform the
ceremony until the girls parents had
been notified.
He therefore arranged for Jacks"
melodramtic entrance, which took the
couple completely by surprise and
which almost threw the bride into hys-
terics. The magistrate sent word to
her father. and that gentleman sent
back a very terse message to the effect
that his daughter, having left his
home. coulG seek Il home wher-
ever she chose.
The delayed ceremony was accord
inSly performed last night, and the
rude intruder who broke it up in the
afternoon acted as witness.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Smith returned
to their relatives in South Scranton,
they were given a very exciting re-
CeptiOn.
