 The young couple were married Wednesday and yesterday they re- turned from their honeymoon. They had prepared to move their house hold effects to Forestville and had engaged a team to transport the goods. Several of their young friends decided to serenade them at their new home and they climbed into the wagon to ride with them to Forestville.
 As the outfit was proceeding down Hough stRet the young people were thrown out when the team went over a depression in the road. The horse continued on his journey, but was stopped before it got far by one of the members of the party. Donahue himself had started after the animal but had gone but a short distance when he fell unconscious in the road. His wife was also in considerable pain.
 The couple were taken to Dr. J. N. Bulls office and the physician af- ter superficial examination ordered their removal to the hospital. With the exception of Miss Julia Donahue, whose knee was badly wrenched, the other members of the party were un- hurt.
 Suit Assigned for Trial.
 At the short calendar session of the court of common pleas yesterday, Judge Edward L. Smith assigned for trial on Thursday the suit of Frank J. and Matilda Lord of Forestville against James Cray, administrator of the estate of the late Patrick Cough lin.
 There is considerable local interest in the action as the payment of lega- cies to several nephews living here are held up pending a settlement of the suit. Coughlin had an estate of over $6O,OO0, and as he failed to make will his property Is to be divided among twenty nicces and nephews.
 The suit of the Lords is to recover for assistance which they claim to have rendered the eccentric old bach elor for several years. They occu- pied one of his houses in F'orestville and they declare that he had promised to will the place to them in considera- tion of services rendered. Mrs. Lord claims to have done his washing for years She also puts in a claim for the premises.
 Coughlin's heirs objected to paying the bills and the administrator set up the claim that as statements had never been rendered during the old mans life, the Lords had a weak case. The settlement of the estate has been delayed on account of the suits. Rev. R. H. Burton to Officiate. Rev. R. H. Burton, rector of the Church of Our Saviour, will be the officiating clergyman at the funeral of Frank B. Newton, who died yes terday of angina pectoris.
