Who also contribute to his comforts and
joys.
Mrs. Isaac b. Davis, who died Friday last,
Through many a trial and sorrow had
passed.

the difference has been attributed to

New York Girl WEEDS Theatrical Mar
In Altoona.

In Altoona.
ALTOONA. Pa, September 30.-In
the presence Of four policemen
as witnesses. Miss Mary Trainer, a
beautiful and highly connected New
York girl, was married by the Rev.
Fl. l.. Jacobs at ] O'Clock yesterday
morning in the First Methodist par
sonage here to Charles Allen, manager
0. the Lemoyne dramatic company and
brother of Viola Allen, the actress.
Miss Trainer arrived here on a fast
express train Saturday night from New
York and was taken to police head
quarters under advice of a message
from her father to hold her until his
arrival for running away from him,
she being under age.
The young lady was permitted to go
before Alderman DeBoyne, where she
made affidavit that her age was q
years. The deputy prothonotary, Cal
win May, who lives at Hollidaysburg,
was sent for and arrived just at this
point in the proceedings with a mar
riage license for the couple. The po-
lice had no further charge on which to
hold Miss Trainer after she had sworn
that she was of age. Her father ar
rived here Sunday afternoon. She re-
fused to see him and left here with
her husband for West Virginia.
