GIRLS WHIM DELAYS WEDDING
OF A YOUNG COUPLE.
AFFiANCED HUSBAND is SENT TO AFRICA
Southern Miss Insists That None But Preacher
Who Performed Marriage Ceremony for Her
Parents Can Tie Knot for Them
Lover Now Seeking Him.

They were engaged secretly for months.
and, although there were no objections
TO the match except on account OF
youth, they ran away. They did not
elope exactly, but one beautiful evening
while driving through the wooded coun-
try they came TO Crowley, and there
the young man proposed that they stop
and get married. They inquired the
way to the home of the minister. and
were directed to the house in which
Rev. John w. Miley then lived, and they
were married and returned home to re-
ceive the forgiveness of their parents
and the congratulations of their friends.
Miley. IL seems, was a district preach
er and was riding circuit through the
hamlets in that district. having no regu-
lar church. but preaching in the school
houses and in the homes of his follow
ers. He gave the young couple his
blessing, Hinshaw gave him a generous
fee. and they parted.
Liza Hinshaw knew the story Of her
mothers romantic wedding, and when
she first began to lengthen her skirts

Just because the bride insists on be-
ing married by the same minister who
performed her mothers wedding cere-
mony. the great event has been post
poned and a worldwide search is at
present going on for the man.
Rev. John w. Miley is the missing
preacher. Nineteen years ago he re-
sided at Crowley, a hamlet near Will
mington. y. c. The United States has
been searched from end TO end and the
frantic lover is now preparing for trip
TO the Congo in search Of him. The trail

Pickens could not learn. He had, ac-

Pickens cabled American and English

who knew and liked the handsome SOC
Of his old friend.
About a year ago the young lover
asked his 1ancce TO set the date. And
right there the trouble commenced. She
consented 10 be married on May IL, but
stipulated that Rev. Mr.. Miley must per-
form the ceremony. Pickens. who did
not care who performed the ceremony,
laughingly asked why she wanted that
particular minister instead OF the homo
preacher. And she told him the story
of her mothers romance and OF this
childish VOW she had made that she
would be married by the same man.
So he told her that he would make the
arrangement.

Mr. Miley liver"
Il don't know. | never thought of
that" replied the girl. HE lived over
at Crowley then"
I'm drive over to Crowley tomorrow
and find him." said the lover.
Begin Search for Minister.
That was the beginning of the world
search for the missing minister. Pick
ems went TO Crowley and found that
the minister had moved away from
there is years ago. less than a year after
he performed the ceremony. He hunted
among the old inhabitants until he
found one who remembered that Miley
had gone down somewhere near Spar
tanburg, S. c.. to preach. Pickens went
sent Miley as a missionary minister into
the hill country of the western end Of
the state.
BY that time il was April, and the date
set for the wedding was approaching
rapidly. Pickens wrote, appealing 10
the church authorities to give him some
trace Of the man.
The latest record they had Of him
was 1896. when an entry in the books
showed that he had resigned charge
near Murphy. and no further trace Of
him was found.
Pickens hurried to Murphy. Tho
remembered that Rev. Mr..
Miley had been offered a missionary po-
thought in some northern
state-and had accepted. Then Pickens,
getting panic stricken, placed adver-
tisements in scores of newspapers, ask
ing for information regarding the min
lister.
The advertisements brought results.
He found four ministers named ]. w.
Miley and nine ministers named Miley
whose first names were not definite. The
week before the date set for the wedding
he received telegram saying that the
man he sought was preaching near Bel
fast, 0. He wrote and telegraphed, hop
ing TO the last minute that he might be
able to get the minister there, and then
received a reply from the Belfast Miley
stating that he never had lived in the
south at all, but would be proud and glad
to come on and perform the ceremony.
For time Pickens hesitated whether
OF not TO bring on the Belfast minister
and pass him off as the Miley who was
wanted. Then, realizing that discovery
of such a trick might wreck the life hap
piness of both, he abandoned the idea,
and. going to Miss Hinshaw, he pleaded
with her TO give up her plan, and TO let
the home minister perform the cere-
mony.

ments. The consequence was sharp relapse in rates in the latter part of the day, when borrowers needs were sup piled and a remnant of funds left on hand unplaced
 Stocks came more freely upon the market early to-day than any time this week, the early flight in the call-loan rate arousing apprehension or still sey- erer conditions before the close. But the market made a strong recovery when the call-loan rate ran off and the most urgent necessities were seen to be filled.
 The compilations of the weeks cur rency movement published during the afternoon offered ample explanation of the course of the money market during the week. As the surplus reserve of the banks last week stood at only lit- tie over $5,O00,O00 1t is clear that the maintenance of it's integrity depends on the extent to which the deposit liabil- ties have been reduced by the sealing down of loans. Some of the heaviest lending in the market to-day was by banks which called large loans earlier in the week
 A small import engagement of gold was reported late to-day, and it was reported that local bankers expected to secure gold to arrive in London on Monday, The rate of discount harden ed in London to-day and the price of gold was marked up in that market As the coal conference was adjourned for the day that factor was without much influence on the market. Pub lished estimates of the condition, on April 1, of the winter wheat crop, show ing highly favorable situation, were a helpful influence.
 The demand for stocks following the running off in the money rate was att tributed largely to professional short account, but earlier losses were gener- ally recovered and a number of one point gains established, The money rate fell as low as per cent, but clos ed at 15 per cent. The elosting tone of the stock market was steady, but very 1 dull.

Strong Recovery When Call Loan Rate

New York. April 6.-Money on call loaned at 31 per cent. on the stock ex- change to-day, thus keeping up the ten cency of a progressive rise in the max imum for each day of this week. The excess over yesterdays 30 per cent. rate, however. as is seen, was only nominal. The severest stringency of the day was over before the period at which the furry had occurred on pre- vious days of the week. This was due in large part to the fact that necessi- tious borrowers were prompt to supply their needs rather than wait until late in the day, in fear that rates by that time would be higher even than yester- day and the supply of available funds reduced to narrow proportions. The late flurries heretofore have been large ly due to this class of borrowers, and
 the quality of their collateral has also
 played an important part. The fore handedness of borrowers to-day cover ed the requirements, while there was still plenty of time to make arrange

Market Started WeaE--Money Ranges From 6 to 80 Per Csnt.---NationaI City Bank Engages Gold--Further Expec- tation of Gold Importations---GOssi of the Day.
 The stock market opened weak yes- terday, but closed quite strong.
 The street was chiefly interested in the antics of the money market
 Borrowers yesterday made early ap- plications for loans particularly as they had to supply their wants over to Monday.
 Our bidding for the South African arrivals of gold in the London market had the usual effect of raising the price of the metal, and in that way retarding the movement.
 Call loans opened at 25 per cent, de- clined to 20 and then quickly rose to 30, remaining between that figure and 25 per cent. for considerable length of time.
 In the afternoon the inquiry for mon- ey subsided materially and there was a steady decline until per cent was reached around ? o'clock.
 The National City bank announced yesterday afternoon that 1t has engag- ed consignment of gold for import to this country The amount was not stated.
 London traded in only about 15,O0O shares in this market yesterday, most ly purchases of the grangers and Steel issues
 In its general action the stock mar ket duplicated it's attitude of last De- cember, when the call money rate got for time as high as 125 per cent, and the market failed to be seriously affect- ed, prices actually advancing in the face of the monetary stringency. Then, as now, the financial district was ex- pecting early relief from one quarter or another.
 The high rates for call money tended to make 8 number of brokers very ;'bearish," ad on the floor it was said they sold large amounts of stocks. How far this represented long and how far short sales 1t was difficult to make out. r"tH
 A story was about that E. H. Harri- man had sold 4O,Ooo Union Pacific above 159A.
 There was good deal of figuring on the probable results of to-day's bank statement. The New York banks have lost between $7,OOO,0oO and $S,OOO,OOO cash this week,
 The preriction was made in some quarters that to-day's bank statement, because of the preparations in antici- patton of the comptrollers call, may make better showing than Wall street has generally expected.
 There was disposition by some trad CTS to set down the comparative strength of Pennsylvania, Erie, Ontario and Western, and Reading to the possi- bility that matters in the coal region would be settled amicably. The bears claimed that Mitchell was only playing for position and that strike was com ing.
