a new location.

MARRIAGE UP-TO.DATE.

The "up-to-dateness" of this coun-

by a telephone marriage down at

found his way home about II p. m
he telephoned the waiting couple,
and was finally prevailed upon to
conduct the service by telephone.
They were married through twenty
odd miles of copper wire, neither of
the principals having seen the minis
ter. Whether in case of an investiga-
tion such a marriage would prove
binding is an interesting legal point.

STOP THE SLAUGHTER.

Attorney General NIOody's action
in bringing suit to punish violations
by railroads of the Safety-Appliance
law has hearty public commendation,
says the New York World.
In spite of the rapid adoption Of
safety measures by the better roads,
the number of railroad employees
killed rose from 1893 in 1897 to
1852, or more than double, in 1894.
The total number killed by railroads
rose from 6,437 to 10,046.
For every passenger killed in train
accidents nine railroad men lose
their lives, chiefly upon freight
trains, and thirteen other persons are
killed, usually by being struck at
grade crossings. Such crossings are
fast being changed by local action in
the more progressive States.
