MARRIED IN HASTE.
Young Couple in Chattanooga outwlts
 Parents in St. Louis.

Chattanooga, September 1S-(Special)- Emil D. Wellmeyer of Cincinnati and Miss Amy Doris of St. Louis, met here by appointment this afternoon and were mar ried at the court house, The groom came in on an early morning train, but the brides train was belated and she did not arrive until nearly time for the office where marriage licenses are procured to close.
 On being told this they hastily jumped into a hack and were driven in a gallop to the court house. Here a license was se- cured a justice of the peace called and the county clerk and a newspaper re- porter were asked to stand up with the couple. After the ceremony Wellmeyer presented his bride with a marriage ring. The groom admitted after the wedding that they had run away from the brides parents at St. Louis, who were opposed to the match. Both were afraid that the officers would intercept their plans on their arrival here and the ceremony was performed as quickly as possible. Both were of fine appearance and Mrs. We'll meyer wore several thousand dollars worth of diamonds.

UNION NOT LIABLE
 FOR ANY DAMAGES
IF NoN.UNIoN MAN CANNOT GET WORK BECAUSE OF UNIONS ACTION HE MUST SUFFER CON. SEQUENCES. s>>

Chicago. September 1s.-If a union tells a contractor that it's men will not work with a non-union man, and if as a result the non-unon man Is discharged and Is unable to secure employment on &C., count of the attitude or the unions toward him, the union Is not liable for damages to the non-union man.
 This Is the substance of decision rem dered here today in the superior court by Judge Gray when instructing jury to find a verdict of not guilty in favor of local No. 147 of the Brotherhood of Paint CTS, Decorators and Paper Hangers, which organization had been sued by John P. Burgher. non-union man. for $S5,0oo dam ages.
 The evidence presented to the jury showed that after being expelled by the union Burgher had been employed by a contractor along with several union men. Later the union is said to have notified the contractor that as Burgher could not show his union card, he would have to be discharged, or the union men would stop work These tactics, Burgher de- clared were kept up and he was unable to get position, and the suit against the union followed.

torney C. B. Morris. after an all-day con- ference between Attorney John s. Miller, general counsel for the packers, and a number of associate counsel in the case. There were no court proceedings and the plea has not yet been properly filed with the clerk of the district court, but this will be done tomorrow morning.
 The main ground upon which the de- fendants stand in their plea Is the pres ence of John Murray on the Jury. It is their claim that the jury was drawn from the box previous to March 3, at which time law redistritting the northern dis trict of Illinois went into effect. Pre- vious to this, Kankakee county, the home of John Murray, was in the northern di- vision of the northern district of Illi- nos. By the terms of the new law this county was placed in the eastern division of the northern district and therefore now is without the jurisdiction of the court. To substantiate the allegation that the jury was illegal and incompetent because of Murray's presence, it is declar- ed in the plea that Murray was served on March 8, five days after the enact ment of the law moving Kankakee coun- ty from this division by a deputy mar shal of another division of the district.
