martialed for intemperance, according
to a dispatch from Canadian headQuar

Deprived by courtmartial, of his
commission because Of an act of in
temperance while on duty, Lieut.

vate in a Montreal battalion. He be-
came corporal, then won his ser
geants stripes. He was awarded D.
c. NJ. for his reckless courage and
again a bar for his medal.
"On Sept. Is he was in the thick Of

FORGOT TO DOFF
lid" AT WEDDING
Half Way Through Ceremony
Bridegroom Remembers and
Makes Grab.

The eight hundred and fifty-tEir
bridegroom for whom Mayor Rage has
tied the marital knot in the last nine
years, last night went half way
through the ceremony before Re
thought and got out from under his
hat.
His stab at his hcadgear interrupted
the ceremony Just at the iuncture
where he was about to be converted in
to benedict The bride was so deeply
concerned with the success of the we'd
ding that she had paid little attention
to details such as 4 misplaced bonnet.
The tension of the hat-band on his
brow called his attention to the lid,
and the Mayor smiled as the hat came
off before the final words were spoken.
The Mayor performed the ceremony
for two couples last night. the first of
which was for Horace ColvCr and Miss
Ida Eaker. Colyer had tho experience
with the hat. He IS - years cid and
his bride is %. Both have been work
ing at the shoe factory
The second ceremony was for John
White and Miss Dora Holmers. The
second bride was but Is years cid and
Mr.. White is y. They drove to Jack
son yesterday evening to obtain d mar
riagc license and were accompanied by I!
the girls another, Mrs. Olive Kennedy. I!

The Mayor has affiliated at So wed,

is convinced that in order to condemn
the property for the Main street ex-
tension it will be necessary to create a
benefit district.
Should the plans for the improve
ment be taken up actively the boun-
diaries of the benefit district will be
one of the important features to be
settled Monday night in the discussion
by the councilmen. Such district, it
is believed, would probably take in all
of the property on Water street, both
sides of Main street as far north as
Broadway, Independence street from
Water street to Spanish street and
Aquamsi and perhaps Spanish street
as far south as Morgan Oak.
The most valuable piece of land
would be affected by the street exten-
sion is the southwest croner of indie
pendence and Aquamsi which is owned
half by J. G. Keller and John Schwab,
both farmers living in the county.
The extension would take about %
feet from the width of the lot on the
corner, which would leave about 16
feet that would lie on the west side of
the future South Main street. Just
west of this strip of land is the Maui
building which now is occupied by the
Salvation Army.
Land south of independence street
would be damaged only in a small way
by the loss of segments Of building
lots and the benefits that would ac-
crue from the opening of the street to-
gether with the depot will make up the
difference.
The damages on the entire move,
however, would be high so that a small
charge of benefits would be assessed
against property in the surrounding
blocks that would be materially and
financially aided by the opening of the
street and the construction of the new
depot.
The Mayor declared that since the
time when the extension proposition
was dropped two years ago, he has
cherished desire to have the scheme
worked out. He said he knew there
was but one way which was b. con-
domination, and he declared The Trib-
une pointed out the opportunity and
the right time to strike on the morning
after the fire which destroyed the
laundry building, when the city was
urged, editorially, to extend the street.
1t now will be up to the council, he
said, and they will have sole power to
