Rev. Edward r. Sweeland refused TO
marry a young couple from Cambridge.

pectant groom being but 20 years of age
and the bride-elect IS. because he believed
they were too young.
The couple secured a license at the city

They were directed TO the residence OF
Rev, Mr.. sweetland at 1876 Williams street
and requested him 10 perform the cere-
mony
The couple sadly departed. and as their
marriage license has not been returned
yet, II is not known whether they Sc
cured some other clergyman TO tie the
knot.
A large number OF elopements have

FOUNDERS AND PAYERS MEET
The meeting OF the Founders and
PAYERS last evening, was one OF the
most interesting sessions imaginable,
with very large number OF the mem
bers on hand.
The chief matter OF interest was the
result of the s-hour day decision and
what they would take as their action
in the future. They felt that the decl-
sion was handed out as II was for the
one particular reason OF inducing them
20 vote for certain men at the next
election. This they claim. they will net
do. but will work for and advocate
snch elections as viii assure them Of
the success OF the move despite the eff
fects OF machine politicians OF the l,e-
publican party.
After discussing that phase OF the
question they then talked over the
possibility of having a half holiday
for the remainder OF the summer. IL
was voted that a committee be appoint
ed TO look into the natter and 20 see IL
the half-holiday on Saturday could not
be obtained.

who did not have all the fun that could

tenth anniversary OF the union. and
they strove 20 make everything as
much OF a contrast as possible.
Upon reaching the park they we're

important OF these was the ball game

ments produced against Alderman Dunn
and his present political play was his evil
dent close frlendllness with Col Colts

They claim that the whole scheme has
been worked out under the supervision of
that organ, and that so long as the AL
derman continues 10 play with that in
strument he Is only Fastening and as
suring his own downfall.
one OF the arguments they advance is
that he showed his hand on the day Col.
Bakers decision was rendered. as the
Republican organ was the first 10 pub
lish an advance resume OF its text; and
they go so far as TO charge that Alder
man Dunn was the means by which the
inside facts were obtained.
Whether the council committee advises
the council TO ask for legislation or not,
the labor men say does not interest them
at all, as they will conduct their own
fight Independently at the polls.
In commenting on the ruling they ask.
"by what law was il established that 10
hours should be the working day for the
laborers? II that was established by
legislative enactment then such a law
should be repealed. II II was established
by custom then the ruling I'm the present
case Is weakened II the city established
the law then the city must repeal it or
explain the violation OF the constitution.
commtte was appointed at last even
ing's meeting 10 look into the various
phases OF the question: and already the
ball has been set rolling whereby Alder
man Dunn will not be able TO pose as
the champion OF the eight-hour day meas
ure, but labor leaders who are known 20
be sincere and who will not trade with
any party machine or political organ.

rulings and withall good natured and
kept the convention in a happy mood

Republican convention caused the
most lively discussion of the day. It
was not sprung as a surprise, how
ever, as Mr.. Harrington had given no.
tice some weeks ago that he would

DEATH OF w. L. JONES'.

The death of w. L. Jones, which &C.
CURED very Unexpectedly a few days
ago. was very sad. Mr.. Jones was
man in the prime Of life, and, to all
appearance, good for 80 years of ac-
tive work. He was very well known
in business circles here for Is years
or more. He at one time was man.
ager of the old Walker House hotel, at
that time the foremost hostelry in the
city when Major Erb was the land
lord. Since the decadence and final
demolition of the Walker House he
occupied various positions of trust and
confidence, and at the time of his
death was salesman for Rieger C Lind
ley, the wholesale liquor dealers. He
had many warm friends here who re-
greet his untimely death and extend
their sincere sympathy to his sorrow
ing widow.
