MA1RIMoNY MADE DIFFICULT
AND NOW GIRL AND LOVER Go
HOME TO WE'D.
Arrested as Supposed Runaways,
Father Wires Consent, But Law
Won't Consider It.

Margaret Robinson, n pretty Virginia
girl not yet sweet sixteen. was sorely dis
appointed today when she came here to
get married.
The intended groom, Eppa Hammett,
who celebrated his twenty-siXth birthday
not long ago, was also greatly disturbed
by the collapse Of loves young dream.
He was unable to understand why Po-
liceman Ehlers had arrested him. 1t was
explained by the police that Hammett
and the intended bride were held on sus-
picon that they had run away from
their homes in Hartford. Stafford coun-
ty, Va about seven miles from Freder-
icksburg.
The young farmer was not well salts
fed with the explanation. He had the
consent of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank +. Robin
| son, parents Of the prospective bride, and
SO said. The policeman then was not
satisfied.
The near-bride was sent to the house
of detention and detained several hours
Her sutton went to the sixth precinct po-
lice station.
Shortly before noon message was re-
ceived from Miss RObinsonS father con-
firming the statement made by Hammett
that he had her parents consent.
Tell them to get married and come
home" was his message
But there was a legal barrier that could
not be set aside. The couple cannot get
married In this city.
But" said the young lady at the house
of detention. well get married.
Hammett and Miss Robinson reached
here last night from Fredericksburg about
. o'clock 1t was too late to get "A IL
cense They elected to remain In the
railway station over night rather than
go to hotel.
During the weary hours of the night no
policeman other person approached
x1,<S- .IniD
there or If they wanted assistance OF amy
kind.
This morning the young man appealed
to the policeman for informa ton. What
he wanted to know was where he must
go to get license to get married.
Policeman Ehlers questioned Hammett
about his intentions. The young man
was frank enough TO tell him about his
plans. He had the consent of the parents
of Miss Robinson, he said and thought
that was all that was necessary.
The policeman was not of the same
opinion. He still thought the couple had
run away. and concluded he would hold
them until Inspector Boardman could
make inquiries at the home of Miss Ham
nett.
Then came the message from the father
The release of the couple followed.
When Hammett was released from the
sixth precinct station he was told by 4
policeman that everything was all right
and that all he had to do was to get the
license and have minister do the rest.
Hammett was surprised when told that
the law would not permit him to procure
license. 1t was explained to him that
the consent of the father was necessary
and that the consent could not be given
by wire.
Then" he said, II guess We will have
to 20 home and get married.
The couple left the house of detention
together and arranged to return to Stat
ford county on a late afternoon train.
They will get married tomorrow

Terrific Storm and LIahlnIna Strikes.

The electric storm accompanied by
a heavy down-pour on last Monday
afternoon was the seyerest which has
been witnessed in this section for "A
number Of years.
During the storm the steeple 10 the
Presbyterian Church was struck 10y
lightning and considerable damage
done. The heavy timbers on two
sides Of the high structure were torn
away leaving large holes and for "a
time much excitement prevailed. The
fire alarm was sounded, but by the
time the reels reached the scene the
heavy rain had eXtinguished the blaze
which must have been a small one.
II is reported that several pieces OF
plank were thrown long distances
from the church When the steeple
was struck 10y the lightning, the pas
tor, Rev. II. Tucker Graham, and Mr.
W. II. Robertson were sitting in the
yestibule Of the church, and strange
To say neither of these gentlemen felt
the comcussion nor knew that the
building had been hit until pieces Of
the structure began 10 fall. This
makes the third time that the Presby-
tcrian Church steeple has been dam
aged by lightning On July 9Th, 1901,
a portion of it was torn 10y lightning
AT that time the fire was 50 high zap
that it was with difficulty that il was
eXtingushed.
II is probable that the stceple which
is the tallest structure Of any kind in
the town, will be torn down. The
church officers have this under con-
sideralion.
During this same storm Monday at
the home Of Major. 4. II. Nenahle, Jr.,
his daughter, Miss Jennie, and Claude
MooreGeld. a small boy residing there,
received severe shocks. Miss Jennie
and young Moorelield were in The
yard. The boy was knocked into "a
reclining position. and burned about
his limbs Hearing his screams Ma
ior Venable hurried To his side and
assisted him To the house.
