MARRIED BY PROXY.

Tampa Morning Tribune: To awake
some morning and discover she is not
married to the man whom she had
looked upon as her husband, but really
to another person, with whom she has
had only speaking acquaintance, is a
revelation that falls to the lot of very
few women. Such was the startling
discovery made by young woman of
this city day or two ago, however,
and the result may be one of the most
sensational lawsuits ever instituted in
this state. The woman in the case,
who told her story to a well-known Of
fetal yesterday, is young and hand
some Spanish woman. One day in De-
cenber she and the man of her choice
secured a marriage license, intending
to be married Immediately by an attor-
ney in the court room. The man, how
ever, according to the story told by the
woman, excused himself temporarily,
stating that he had to go down the
street on business and would soon re-
turn, asking her to wait at the court
house for him. He did not return, but
sent, instead, a friend of his, who in
formed the waiting bride-to-be that her
intended could not get back just then,
but that he had been deputized by him
as a proxy to enact his part of the
marriage ceremony. The woman, be-
ing unfamiliar with the laws and GUS
toms of this country, consented to the
unusual arrangement, and the two re-
paired to an office in the court house,
where they were united in marriage,
the proxy bridegroom giving the name
of his friend, which appeared on the
marriage license. The couple then left
the court house and met the other fell
low down the street. The proxy deliv-
cred the bride over to her real intended,
and they proceeded along the roseate
path of connubial bliss just as happy
as though they had really been mar
ried. But the course of love soon
ceased to run smooth, and the man
wearied of his bride. Several weeks
ago, he instituted proceedings to have
her adjudged a lunatic and sent to the
state asylum. The usual inquiry was
held, but one of the physicians in the
case has not yet signed the report adj
judging her insane, leaving this phase
of the case in statu quo. Now comes
the deceived woman with the story
that her supposed husband has taunt-
ed her with the fact that she is not
really his wife, that she has never
been married to him, but that she is
the wife of his friend, who acted as
proxy at the ceremony, at the same
time ordering her to leave his house,
as she has no claims upon him.

The Man Who Knows 1t All.
From the Philadelphia telegraph.

The man who pretends to have a
thorough speaking acquaintance with
every known subject under the sun,
and is imprudent enough to endeavor
to make people believe everything he
says, is described in different ways.
Some of his friends have formed these
opinions of him:
The ice man-Hes nipped!
The gambler-He's bluffingl
The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES twistedi
The plumber-He's not on the level!
The spiritualist-He's in a trance!
The engineer-Hes full of hot air.
The conductor-Hes off his trolley!
The miser-He's got rats in his gar
ret!
The trapezist-He's way up in the
air!
The lexicographer-He thinks he
knows it all!
The theatrical manager-He's only
playing to the gallery!
The aeronaut-He'll come back to
earth one of these days!

Dave Thomas, a negro, was killed at
White House, nine miles from Jackson
vile, Friday by A. J. King who had
been deputized by Deputy Sheriff w.
B. Harvey to assist in arresting Thorn
as. On Friday the negroes in that
neighborhood had d shooting match for
turkeys, in which Dave Thomas acted
very ugly. He had concealed on his
person a 45-caliber Colts revolver,
which he used very freely. Deputy
Sheriff w. B. Harvey was called to ar
rest Thomas and he deputized A. j.
King to assist him. King is a white
resident of White House, and he armed
himelf with a doutle-barrel shotgun
filled with birdshot. AS the white men
approached the negro, he drew his re-
volver and fired, the bullet grazing the
deputy's cheek. Mr.. King pulled down
on the desperate negro. The first load
did not deter the negro. He continued
to shoot. Mr.. King again fired with
deadly effect
